When the time comes, won't we be able to break through to the Venerable realm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, do you think that is possible?\" the Saintess asked in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fox demon was stunned, then shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That human's strength has already reached the realm of a half-step Venerable King. As we are now, I fear we are no longer his match,\" the Saintess said indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bitter smile appeared on the fox demon's face. She said, \"We have no way to return to the Profound Mystery Continent, and even if we returned to the Profound Mystery Continent, what could we do? Our Profound Mystery Continent has already completely fallen!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the Saintess sighed and said, \"No matter what, we must find a way to return to the Profound Mystery Continent. No matter what, we cannot let the Human Race fall into a desperate situation, otherwise, all of us will be ruled by the Demon Race, and at that time, the living beings of the Human Race will never have peace again!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, rest assured!\" The fox demon nodded and said, \"No matter what we do, we will try our best to avoid the Demon Race's invasion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That would be best!\" The Saintess nodded and then said, \"Let's go! We will return to the Profound Yin Mountain Range, take out that Spirit Pearl, and then return to the Profound Mystery Continent!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fox demon nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, the two flew toward the Profound Yin Mountain Range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Ximen Wudi, he sat quietly cross-legged where he was, not moving at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The time of one night passed in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi's eyelashes flickered a few times, and then he opened his eyes. He looked at the surrounding environment and saw that he was lying on a flat sand dune, and standing beside the sand dune was a woman in black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi stood up and looked around, discovering that this was a canyon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surroundings of the canyon were filled with towering trees that covered the entire canyon, with only a few plants swaying gently in the breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is this?\" Ximen Wudi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Profound Yin Mountain Range!\" the black-clad woman said, \"You have been in a coma for two days. During these two days, we have searched the entire Profound Mystery Continent and still have not found you. Moreover, just last night, I felt your residual aura. Although your strength is very weak, you still escaped my pursuit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you!\" Ximen Wudi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Sufina, I am the Saintess of the Profound Yin Sect. And you?\" Sufina asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi was slightly startled, and a beautiful silhouette could not help but appear in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes became dim, and he said, \"My name is Ximen Wudi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ximen Wudi, hello!\" Sufina said with a smile, \"I have already investigated your identity. You come from a country called the Human Race, and your father is named Ling Feng. He is the Vice Sect Master of our Profound Yin Sect and also the supreme leader of you humans!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh.\" Ximen Wudi responded and said, \"Miss Sufina, thank you for saving me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're welcome,\" Sufina said indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Miss Sufina, what should we do now?\" Ximen Wudi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's simple,\" Sufina said, \"Let's return to the Profound Yin Mountain Range first and wait for the people of the Profound Yin Sect to come and save you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm, then let's go!\" Ximen Wudi nodded and followed Sufina, flying rapidly away from this desolate desert and returning to the Profound Mystery Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Profound Mystery Continent, a city called Heaven Star City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the city stood a towering palace, and above the palace hung a golden plaque: Profound Mystery Hall!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the gate of the Profound Mystery Hall, there were four guards on duty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi followed behind Sufina and walked into the Profound Mystery Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the sacred ground of the Profound Mystery Sect; under normal circumstances, outsiders were not allowed to enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Sufina was the Saintess of the Profound Yin Sect, so she was not blocked and walked straight in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi followed behind Sufina and entered the Profound Mystery Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a huge hall, and in the hall, there was a table with incense, candles, and other items placed on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the left side of the hall, there were two prayer mats. On one mat sat an old man in white. His fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a 'dong dong dong' sound, as if he were playing a musical piece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side of the prayer mat stood an old woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two old women had eerie smiles on their faces, and their eyes were fixed on the old man in white sitting in the main seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sect Master, is this the new disciple you have taken in?\" The old woman's eyes flashed with excitement as she said, \"The Sect Master's eye for talent is truly good; you actually chose such an excellent seedling.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man nodded and smiled, \"He is an interesting little fellow, and his strength is powerful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sect Master, do you know what his name is?\" the old woman asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do not.\" The Sect Master shook his head and said, \"However, from my observation just now, this little fellow seems to have no background!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why did you recruit him?\" the old woman asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because he is very likely to become the future High Priest!\" The old man smiled slightly and said, \"I believe he can help the Profound Yin Sect reach a higher level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The future High Priest?\" Upon hearing this, the old woman's brows immediately furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm, this little fellow is very likely to possess a super bloodline and might even be an alchemist!\" the Sect Master nodded and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?? A super bloodline!!\" The old woman widened her eyes and said, \"This is something from legends; how could such an existence exist?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is correct!!\" the Sect Master affirmed, \"If my guess is correct, this Ximen Wudi should come from some hidden sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old woman was silent for a while and said, \"Sect Master, you said he is an alchemist. How do you know about this??\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sect Master smiled and said, \"This is a secret, but you need not worry. Since I have decided to take him as a disciple, I will definitely cultivate him with all my might and not let him be harmed. As for the future, leave it to fate; fate naturally has its arrangements.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\" the old woman nodded respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, go and announce that Ximen Wudi has arrived!!\" the Sect Master ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Sect Master!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, the old woman turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the old woman returned to the hall and came before Ximen Wudi and Sufina, saying, \"Young Master Ling, Miss Sufina, the Sect Master invites you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi and Sufina looked at each other, then rose together and followed the old woman to the main hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ximen Wudi pays respects to the Sect Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ximen Wudi pays respects to the Sect Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rise!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sect Master waved his hand, then looked at Ximen Wudi and said, \"Your cultivation is extraordinary, and I admire you very much. I hope you will perform well in the future and not disappoint my expectations, understand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi hurriedly cupped his hands and said, \"Ximen Wudi will keep the Sect Master's orders in mind!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, I like your personality very much; you are not like other young people who are timid and cautious, afraid of trouble.\" The Sect Master nodded approvingly: \"However, as the Sect Master, I have a responsibility to consider for the sect members. Therefore, your safety, Ximen Wudi, is also related to the interests of our sect, which is why I personally took action to bring you back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi said, \"Ximen Wudi is willing to follow the Sect Master's instructions, but there is one thing Ximen Wudi wants to remind the Sect Master of, and that is that Ximen Wudi is merely a loose cultivator, without background or power. For the Sect Master to do this for Ximen Wudi, it can be said to be taking a risk!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha!!\" The Sect Master laughed loudly: \"Taking you as a disciple this time can be considered leaving myself a way out. Regardless of whether you can become a top existence on the Profound Martial Continent in the future, with my Profound Yin Sect covering you, I believe even those top forces would not dare to touch you easily!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right! Ximen Wudi, from now on, just stay by Fina's side. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me!\" the old woman also smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I will thank the Sect Master and the Sect Mother first!\" Ximen Wudi hurriedly thanked them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sufina also performed a standard etiquette toward the Sect Master and Sect Mother, then retreated to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, you may leave first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After everyone had exited the room, Ximen Wudi saw the Sect Master wave his hand and say, \"From today on, you will live here. Wait for me to return, and then I will teach you alchemy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi responded, and then he and Sufina walked toward the room together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your room is on the right side of the second floor, and the room on the left is Fina's. She lives right next door to you. If you want to chat with Fina, you can do so at any time!\" the old woman instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Sect Master, Sect Mother!\" Ximen Wudi bowed again and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sufina looked at Ximen Wudi's back with a smile, then walked toward her own room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Ximen Wudi returned to his room, he lay down on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the air on this Profound Mystery Continent was very fresh and the spiritual energy was abundant, for a cultivator like Ximen Wudi, it was not enough to be feared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Ximen Wudi was someone who had stayed in the Profound Mystery Divine Ring; he had long been accustomed to this environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the spiritual energy here was also very pure, which was very suitable for cultivation!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh?? What is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Ximen Wudi saw a jade pendant at his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This jade pendant was given to Ximen Wudi by that old man at the auction house.\u003C\u002Fp>",1751,"2026-06-15T03:02:23.300Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","b71effe7a33ecbc58c30d2781d593850c5afd78f730c4f2e9c904a3240550e73","wuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-chapter-1244","wuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-chapter-1242",1409,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-cover.jpg"]
