Chapter 9: Why Is My Career Panel in a 2D Anime Style? Chapter 4

Li Ang wasn't particularly shocked by his transmigration into "Solo Leveling," since if transmigration had already happened, ending up in a manga he'd read didn't seem worth remarking on.

Rather, it made seeking power easier.

"So the major event I'm supposed to experience is the fall of the Sanyi Sect?" Since he'd only learned this name and the current year from a beggar, Li Ang naturally formed this thought, "Or is this Sanyi Sect not the same as that Sanyi Sect?"

He didn't jump to conclusions; after all, he'd know the truth only by seeing it himself.

Thinking this, Li Ang didn't hesitate and immediately walked toward the direction the beggar had pointed—just then, two teenage boys in Gray cultivation practice robes passed by him.

The Shanmen of the Sanyi Sect wasn't especially far from the town where Li Ang had arrived, and perhaps because of this, he encountered no bandits or robbers along the way.

Soon, a small courtyard nestled at the mountain's base came into Li Ang's view.

Seeing the characters "Sanyi Sect" above the courtyard gate, he knew he'd found the right place.

With a nervous heart, Li Ang stepped forward and knocked on the gate; shortly after, a young man in white Daoist robe-style clothing opened the door.

The young man sized up Li Ang—dirty from brawling—and asked, "What do you want?"

Hearing this, Li Ang bowed in an awkward, unorthodox manner: "Since childhood, I've deeply admired the Sanyi Sect; I've come here solely to become your disciple and seek the Dao."

Upon hearing this, the young man's expression turned strange, and after a brief pause, he said, "Though the Sanyi Sect doesn't care about a disciple's origins..."

"Your age is simply too advanced."

This was already an Euphemistic way of speaking; normally, the Xuanmenzheng Sect would recruit only children, and even if older, at most teenagers, but this man...

Forgive me for saying so, but he's at least twenty or older.

This clearly violates the Sanyi Sect's rules.

It's not that older people can't seek the Dao, but young children have minds like blank paper, making it easier for the various mystical schools to imprint their own colors upon them.

Moreover, Foundation Establishment is more suitable at a young age, so they rarely accept older disciples.

Thinking this, the young man shook his head slightly and said, "Sorry, sir, please seek another path," then moved to close the gate.

Seeing this, Li Ang grew anxious; he wanted to shout, Can't you be more flexible about age? I'm still a youth in my prime!

But he knew saying this would be useless.

After briefly recalling the plot, Li Ang gritted his teeth and said to the young man, "Technique is technique, Dao is Dao—no matter how long you ball up your head, it won't turn into a ball!"

"I beg you, Master, to deliver these words to Master Zuo Zuo Ruotong!"

The young man shook his head and moved to shut the gate.

But seeing Li Ang's desperate expression, he hesitated.

To be honest, he was curious about what Li Ang had just said—it felt somehow deeply tied to the Sanyi Sect.

After a moment of silence, the young man sighed and said to Li Ang, "Fine, wait here. I'll inform Master and let him decide."

With that, he turned and hurried up the mountain.

Seeing this, Li Ang exhaled in relief; he knew that regardless of the outcome, he'd taken his first step.

He knew this step was reckless, but to gain self-preservation power, he had no choice but to take the risk.

Li Ang had considered methodically gathering information about the anomalous ones—he didn't necessarily need to join the Sanyi Sect.

But who knew when the major event would end? He still remembered how the event named "Insect New Star" had ended within days.

Li Ang didn't want to find a clue, then be whisked away again in a flash.

Besides, judging from the personality of the Great Ying Immortal in the original work, he didn't think he'd be in danger... right?

Not long after, the young man returned in a hurry.

He looked at Li Ang, his expression deeply complex, and bit his lip: "... Come with me. Master wants to see you."

Hearing this, Li Ang's heart leapt, and he hurried after him.

The true Shanmen of the Sanyi Sect lay atop the mountain, a fair distance from the courtyard below, but with Li Ang's current physical condition, the climb was nothing.

Soon, the young man brought Li Ang to a side hall.

"Go in. Master is waiting."

Li Ang thanked him, then pushed open the door and stepped inside.

The next moment, a transcendent white-haired man came into his view.

This man was the Sanyi Sect Sect's head.

The Great Ying Immortal, Zuo Zuo Ruotong!
