Chapter 172: Joining Tianwai Island?

"That won't do. I definitely won't leave the Lingerie-Sect to fend for itself. You let me speak to your father; I want him to repay my favor."

Jiang Xun had intended to freeload, but now it seemed he would have to use that favor.

"Finding my father is useless," Cang Xingling said with a serious expression. "Tianwai Island is filled entirely with disciples from noble families and dynasties; you know this. Our Canghe Dynasty is merely one of them, and we aren't even in the same region as Tianwai Island. Even if you spoke to them, they wouldn't listen."

"Then who can have a say?"

Jiang Xun pressed.

"I'm afraid only that person can," Cang Xingling said mysteriously.

"That person?" Jiang Xun was puzzled.

"The Supreme who governs the Lingyun Dynasty, the Tianyu Dynasty, and the Canghe Dynasty."

"You're bullshitting me. Where would I even know a Supreme from?" Jiang Xun almost couldn't help but curse after hearing that.

This Supreme had quite a broad reach; the Lingyun of Dongming, the Tianyu of Nanwu, and the Canghe of the Western Regions were all under his jurisdiction.

"That's that, then," Cang Xingling shrugged. "I really have no other way."

"How about this: you take a few people who are important to you and come to the Canghe Dynasty. I'll have my Imperial Father help you change your identities so you can live anew in the Canghe Dynasty. Just disband the Lingerie-Sect."

Cang Xingling was truly trying to think of a solution for Jiang Xun.

This method indeed had no problems, but it was also the biggest problem.

Once the Lingerie-Sect was disbanded, those female disciples would have no way to vent their sexual desires and would go everywhere to harvest ordinary people. The difference between harvesting ordinary people and harvesting cultivators was far too great.

If one usually needed one cultivator, then to harvest ordinary people, at least five would be required.

With these thousands of disciples scattered, no one knew how many people would die every day, and they themselves would not be able to escape the fate of being hunted down every single day.

Unless they abandoned their cultivation techniques.

But how many people would be willing to abandon their cultivation techniques?

"Is there any other way?" After thinking this through, Jiang Xun asked next.

"..." Cang Xingling fell silent. After pondering for a long time, she said, "There is one more method with a relatively low success rate."

"Let's hear it."

"Tianwai Island has a tradition: newly joined disciples are divided according to their cultivation realms and enter the same Secret Realm for an assessment. The final victor can make one request to the Island Master that he can fulfill."

"As long as it is something the Island Master can fulfill, he will agree. It's not impossible to make him give up on attacking the Lingerie-Sect."

"It's quite a coincidence, too. The new round of Nascent Soul disciple assessments starts in three days. If you..."

"I'm at the Spirit Transformation Stage now," Jiang Xun interrupted.

"Spirit Transformation?" Cang Xingling was stunned for a moment. "I remember you were at the Nascent Soul Mid Stage?"

"My cultivation during this period has been very effective; I've broken through to the Spirit Transformation Stage," Jiang Xun laughed.

"..." Cang Xingling frowned deeply. "If you were at the Nascent Soul Mid Stage, you would still have a slim possibility of success, but if you just broke through to the Spirit Transformation Stage, I'm afraid you have no chance."

"Why?" Jiang Xun asked, puzzled.

"There are no new disciples at the Spirit Transformation Stage. They are almost all disciples who have been stuck at the Spirit Transformation Stage for a long time and have cultivated at Tianwai Island for a long time. They aren't participating in a newcomer assessment, but a battle for the top of the rankings."

"The person who wins the top spot can also make a request to the Island Master. They are basically all aiming for the Supreme Grade Supreme Void Pill. In other words, the vast majority are Inner Sect Disciples at the Spirit Transformation Great Perfection. As a Transformation Spirit Initial Stage, what are you going to fight with?"

"I can fight!" Jiang Xun did not hesitate upon hearing this.

With the Nine Heavens Reversal Robe in hand, what was the difference between fighting them and fighting children?

"But you aren't an Inner Sect Disciple. Even if I forge an identity for you and let you join Tianwai Island right now, immediately, you still can't enter the Inner Sect. By the time you enter the Inner Sect, Tianwai Island will have long since attacked the Lingerie-Sect."

Cang Xingling curled her lips.

"..." Jiang Xun only felt a sense of frustration upon hearing this.

"Is there any way to quickly become an Inner Sect Disciple and participate in this battle for the top ranking?"

Jiang Xun asked, unwilling to give up.

"I really don't know that," Cang Xingling shook her head. "I'm just at the Golden Core stage. To put it bluntly, I'm just an Outer Sect Disciple. How would I know so much?"

"Help me ask?"

"Tsk." Cang Xingling clicked her tongue. "Wait a moment. It just so happens my second brother hasn't left yet; I'll ask him."

"Good." Jiang Xun nodded, then waited for Cang Xingling's reply.

————

After putting away the Communication Jade Tube, Cang Xingling walked out of her room and headed toward the room of her second brother, Cang Xingyan.

At this moment, she was inside the Imperial Palace of the Canghe Dynasty. On both sides, her eyes were met with gorgeous Western Regions decorations, and the people she saw on the road all lowered their heads to call her Princess.

"Is my second brother in his room?"

Cang Xingling walked quickly to the entrance of Cang Xingyan's bedchamber and asked the guards at the door.

"Your Highness Princess, His Highness the Second Prince is currently packing his things, preparing to set off back to Tianwai Island."

The guards hurriedly lowered their heads and replied.

Cang Xingling nodded, walked past the guards, and pushed open Cang Xingyan's door directly.

"..."

Inside the room, a middle-aged man with an exotic appearance and a rather handsome look, dressed in light armor, was putting on his shoes. Seeing Cang Xingling push the door and enter directly, he was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "Xingling, knock on the door next time you come in."

"Brother, are you setting off to leave already?" Cang Xingling asked, plopping down onto a chair in front of a bookshelf.

"Yes. Didn't you receive the notification too? We have to hurry back. There must be something important."

Cang Xingyan stood up after putting on his shoes and stomped his feet, saying.

"I packed long ago and can leave at any time. I came to ask you something."

"What is it?" Cang Xingyan nodded and asked.

"That, how can one quickly become an Inner Sect Disciple?"

"Yo, are you looking to improve yourself?" Cang Xingyan laughed upon hearing this and walked over to Cang Xingling.

"Oh, never mind that, is there a way or not?" Cang Xingling asked.

"There is, but you need to be at least in the Nascent Soul Realm. I can help you get an introduction to my master; she will check your Spirit Root and see your talent before deciding whether to take you as a disciple. With your Spirit Root, it should be no problem, it's just that your cultivation level and talent..." Cang Xingyan shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Cang Xingling's eyes lit up: "It's not me, brother, can you help me introduce someone else to your master?"

"Who?" Cang Xingyan frowned upon hearing this: "Ling Zhangyi? I'm telling you, it's impossible for you two. Ling Zhangyi is just a scion of a noble family, he..."

"Oh, goodness!" Cang Xingling felt a headache coming on: "I've told you all many times, I have no interest in Ling Zhangyi, it's not him!"

Hearing this, Cang Xingyan finally softened a little: "Then who is it?"

"Don't ask so many questions. He isn't a person from Tianwai Island right now, so I still have to help him forge an identity to enter Tianwai Island, and then you can introduce him to your master. He has the strength of the Spirit Severing Transformation Spirit Initial Stage, please help, can you?"

Cang Xingling looked at Cang Xingyan and asked.

"It wouldn't be your sweetheart, would it?" Cang Xingyan looked at Cang Xingling with a suspicious expression and asked.
