Gu Lián is unworthy, but I was indeed one of the Fallen Sun Sect’s true disciples back then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But as you said, I failed to break through to Foundation Establishment back then, lost my true disciple status, and left the sect to wander across the Wu Kingdom; only recently did I return, and that’s when I received Brother Yu’s message, so I came along for the spectacle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see. But given your status, joining such a contest feels a bit like bullying the young, doesn’t it?\" Li Tianqi nodded, then frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah! I’m merely a former true disciple—until I reach Foundation Establishment, I’m still a Qi Condensation cultivator, so I clearly qualify for this contest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that counts as a violation, then you, sir, are from the Li family, the foremost clan of the Four Symbols Sect. With your clan’s stature, why send clan members to compete for spiritual vein slots? Doesn’t that seem equally questionable?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph. I’m here only because a friend asked me to, participating as an independent guest, with no connection to the Li family,\" Li Tianqi snapped, his expression darkening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others might fear Gu Lián’s status, but as a Li family member with several Foundation Establishment elders backing them, he felt little apprehension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I’m the same—I came only because a friend invited me to lend a hand. Besides, even if I didn’t enter, you, Brother Li, wouldn’t necessarily secure the extra slot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words left the blue-robed woman speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Wang Yu smiled and spoke up:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Both of you, did you come here specifically to find me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, Brother Wang. I have something I’d like to discuss with you privately—do you have time?\" Li Tianqi replied without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Funny—I also have something I wish to discuss with Brother Wang in private. But since Brother Li spoke first, I’ll wait my turn,\" Gu Lián nodded to Wang Yu, smiling amiably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu naturally agreed to both.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Wang, shall we talk over there?\" Li Tianqi glanced around, then pointed to a nearby empty stone platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu nodded, signaled to Yin Linglong, then followed her as she flew toward the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Wang, are you aware of the upcoming Four Sects Dharma Assembly?\" The blue-robed woman wasted no time; as soon as they landed, she turned serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could I not know about something as major as the Four Sects Dharma Assembly?\" Wang Yu paused, then answered instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. The Four Sects Dharma Assembly is a grand contest among Qi Condensation disciples of the four sects, meant to assess each sect’s potential and determine future resource allocation. The format changes each time—sometimes it’s one-on-one duels like today, but mostly it involves small-team combat scenarios.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to what I’ve heard, the next assembly will almost certainly follow the latter format.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Though you’re only mid-Qi Condensation, your strength is truly astonishing—you’re easily among the top ten inner disciples. If you’re not opposed, would you consider teaming up with me for the next assembly? I’ve already spoken with several other strong friends; with you joining, our results will surely be excellent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Li, I heard the rewards for the Four Sects Dharma Assembly are jointly provided by the four Great Ming sects—even Foundation Establishment pills and cultivation materials. Is that true?\" Wang Yu paused, then asked instead of answering directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Are you already thinking about Foundation Establishment? Isn’t that a bit premature?\" Li Tianqi blinked, scanned him with her spiritual sense, confirmed he was truly mid-Qi Condensation, then chuckled lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s better to think early than late. Besides, even if I don’t use the Foundation Establishment pill or material myself, they’re the best items to trade for other cultivation resources.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s true—Foundation Establishment pills and materials are always in high demand. But the top prize of the last assembly wasn’t a Foundation Establishment pill or material—it was a Blood Soul Pill, capable of triggering a second bloodline awakening.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s said this pill is a second-rank elixir, painstakingly crafted by a master alchemist of the Thousand Bamboo Sect after seven or eight failed batches. Consuming it can greatly purify one’s bloodline, granting a thirty percent chance of a second bloodline awakening.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, even many Foundation Establishment elders were drawn to it. In rarity, it far surpasses the Foundation Establishment pill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A pill like that? The Thousand Bamboo Sect really gave it up as a prize?\" Wang Yu was equally startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Though the Blood Soul Pill’s effect is astonishing, its practicality is low.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, it only has a thirty percent chance of triggering a second awakening. If you have the chance to obtain it, you’d be better off trading for a Foundation Establishment pill. Only Foundation Establishment elders would gamble on such odds—unless, of course, you could acquire multiple such pills.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Other sects also offered high-value top prizes for the assembly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our Four Symbols Sect offered a rare three-tailed fox cub; the Fallen Sun Sect offered three days of observation time with their sect treasure, the ‘Sunset Devil-Sealing Tablet’; the Vajra Temple provided a ‘Washing Spirit Night’ technique for refining spiritual awareness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder so many care about the Four Sects Dharma Assembly—these rewards are truly tempting,\" Wang Yu said, smiling wryly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Many inner disciples who believe they have the strength have been forming alliances for years, all aiming to shine at the assembly and claim these prizes. I’m only approaching you now—I’m already late.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But there are so many strong inner disciples. After this contest ends, many will likely approach you. That’s why I came first—I hope you’ll consider me first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Sister Li says so, I’ll give it serious thought when I return. But I have one more question: Will the true disciples be allowed to participate in the Four Sects Dharma Assembly?\" Wang Yu nodded, then asked solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>",973,"2026-06-20T15:44:30.991Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a64e8999370c0e627d7f172721a31e5f031eb8b409d098c779dbcc22bdca86f2","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-141","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-139",530,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-immortal-path-among-the-stars-cover.jpg"]
