Chapter 115: Dreaming About It

"Jiang Dao You, if you don't want to go in, you could at least point us to the entrance." Wen Xin resented Jiang Yu and Xia Bing, wondering why they couldn't find more people to come out.

She pleaded politely, but the other Xuan Tian Sect disciples with her, after seeing Jiang Yu keep pushing it aside, began speaking in a tone that was hard to listen to.

"Jiang Dao You, this is watching someone die without helping."

"And Xia Dao You, Brother Dai is entirely because of you…"

"Senior Sister, it has nothing to do with Xia Dao You." Wen Xin saw that it was herself; Brother Dai acted blindly, dragging others into the mess.

But her fellow disciples wouldn't listen, "Jiang Yu, it is said that a few years ago at the Tiannan Mountain Range trial tournament, you and Wan Dao You wanted to join our Xuan Tian Sect.

Could it be that after missing the chance due to talent, you hold a grudge against our sect?"

"Jiang Dao You, Xia Dao You, we're all peers of the same sect; would you, when you enter other secret realms in the future, still want everyone to stand by and watch when trouble arises?"

"Is it that Jiang Dao You is refusing us entry because you discovered something special inside?"

"Senior Sister Cui, be cautious. Jiang Dao You will wait for Sui Lv Zhenjun to return before making arrangements." Qin Zhuo, hearing the senior and junior sisters' increasingly twisted words, hurried to intervene, not knowing what mind spell Brother Dai had placed on them, that they would even threaten the disciple of the Yuan Empress, a great cultivator.

The Xuan Tian Sect members, upon hearing the title Nascent Soul True Lord, quickly stopped their conversation. Looking at Jiang Yu's unruffled expression, they sensed that despite her young age she had cultivated remarkable Qi skills, and then saw the Mystic Turtle on her shoulder holding an Image Stone aimed at everyone.

"What are you doing?" Senior Sister Cui screamed, moving forward to snatch the Image Stone.

Without waiting for any action from Jiang Tu or Jiang Yu, Xia Bing and three other Tai Xu Sect disciples swiftly shifted positions to block her. They had already grown impatient, being only female cultivators who didn't wish to tangle with them, and asked, "What do you intend to do, Dao You?"

"Let her come, and see if she can take it from my hands." Jiang Tu released the spiritual pressure on his body, fully revealing his Seventh Stage pinnacle cultivation.

"Seventh Stage!" Not only Senior Sister Cui, but several other Xuan Tian Sect female cultivators were stunned.

Jiang Yu gave them a casual glance, thinking that it was fine not having entered the Xuan Tian Sect back then; seeing how they acted, she knew big sects were full of trivial matters. "Senior sisters and brothers, the master has sent a message for us to go find him."

"Go." Xia Bing unleashed the Ice Chi Sword, leading Jiang Yu and three others to swiftly fly away from here.

"They…" Senior Sister Cui and the others still wanted to say something.

Wen Xin sneered, "Senior sisters, are you satisfied now?

Do you know that Sui Lv Zhenjun dislikes dealing with the Xuan Tian and Ling Xu sects the most."

"Wen Dao You, don't bring us along." A few Ling Xu Sect disciples, after Jiang Yu and the others left, stepped from the corner into the crowd.

Qin Zhuo shook his head, deciding to change groups, no longer pairing with Brother Dai, and he also disliked being with a Ling Xu Sect team. "Jiang Yu didn't agree; it's clear she couldn't make the decision."

His guess was accurate, but he didn't know that Jiang Yu was feigning a master's command and fundamentally didn't want to stay here.

Moreover, after the Tai Xu Sect disciples heard she was lying, everyone asked Xia Bing to slow down. One Brother Lu said, "Among the four major sects, the Wan Jian disciples are straightforward, while the Tai Yi Sect is modest."

"The members of the other two sects, Jiang junior sister will encounter later, can hide as far as possible."

Another Senior Sister Huang complained, "Actually, in my view all four sects are the same; they have some self‑righteous disciples who, relying on their large sects and abundant spirit‑mountain blessings, look down on us mid‑level sects."

"The last time I went to Wan Jian Sect for exchange studies, there were always people mocking my swordsmanship."

The last Brother Liao, a disciple of the Ascendant Dao Real Person, said pragmatically, "What can we do? If we had more Nascent Soul cultivators, they wouldn't dare to be overly arrogant."

"Look at Gui Yuan Sect; in the past few centuries, Nascent Soul cultivators have risen to five within the sect, and a sixth is about to appear, so Wan Jian Sect has become increasingly courteous toward them."

"This time I took on a mortal realm mission just to find a Taiji Fish Token, so my master can enter the Cave Heaven to seek a Binding Infant opportunity."

Jiang Yu couldn't help but nod in agreement; on the Tianyuan Continent, each of the four major sects has only eight or nine Nascent Souls, at most a dozen at their peak, far fewer than those on the Eastern Continent.

"For example, Tai Xu Sect once had five Nascent Souls; in the East Continent it would be considered third‑tier, but here on Tianyuan there are now only three, placing it in the second tier."

"You say the sect doesn't want more Nascent Soul cultivators? It's a dream they all have! Otherwise Ye Zhenren wouldn't have failed twice in a row yet still vigorously supply the spirit items needed for Binding Infants."

"The Ye family can thrive in sects, and others yield to them, because Ye Zhenren is one of the few Binding Core cultivators who have reached the Binding Infant threshold."

"Among the sect's fifty‑plus Binding Core cultivators, only three have reached the later stages."

"This shows how difficult Binding Infant is; even the Library Tower's teachings, with the Tai Xu Sect Yuan Empress personally guiding, only work when the opportunity arrives."

Jiang Yu slightly gathered her spirit and heard the conversation veer slightly off topic.

"The Xuan Tian Sect female cultivators are coming at me," Xia Bing didn't want Dai Lin to approach, but the other side always… sigh, it's hard to hold back a word.

Jiang Tu interjected, "How do they know Jiang Yu can go in and out?"

"No need to say, it must be the letter from Xue Miao, not at all the Yuan Empress's granddaughter's arrogance." Brother Lu, also a direct disciple of a Binding Core cultivator, but because his master is a newly formed Binding Core at the early stage, he often can't get along with certain aristocratic youths.

He also didn't force any interaction, and Xue Miao, who partners with the four major sects' group of directly transmitted Nascent Souls, mocks both openly and covertly, which is very annoying.

"Damn, the guy surnamed Xue can't figure out his place; your Luo Yue Sect and Tai Xu Sect are both remote southwestern sects, each with only three Nascent Souls. What are you laughing at? It's simply—"

"Jiang Tu, right? Come to our Spirit Beast Valley later; there are several Sixth and Seventh Levels there." Brother Lu invited.

"I'll go." Jiang Tu nodded.

Jiang Yu remained silent, listening to the seniors' discussion, and then saw the master flying in from afar.

Everyone prepared their greetings, when Sui Lv Zhenjun raised his hand: "No need for extra courtesy, I need to re‑enter the secret realm for another investigation."

Xia Bing led people to retrieve the person trapped with Jiang Yu in the cave and settle them.

"Yes." Xia Bing, sounding slightly hesitant, said, "Senior Uncle, can we first find Dai Dao You?"

Sui Lv Zhenjun instantly squinted at her; Jiang Yu felt the surrounding temperature drop several degrees instantly.

Xia Bing dared not say more; the other three also didn't dare to gasp for breath; everyone knew Sui Lv Zhenjun had a lingering grudge.

"Master, if we find the person first and send them out, that would be best."

Sui Lv Zhenjun lightly "hm"ed, flicked his sleeve, and whisked Jiang Yu and Jiang Tu away.

Brother Lu and a few others watched the departing light fade, sighing, "Xia Shijie, you're too straightforward; saying that makes people easily misunderstand."

"The Ling Xu Sect people are no better than the Xuan Tian Sect."

"Legend says that back then Sister Xie insisted on marrying away because the Xuan Tian Sect people were meddling."

"Xia Shijie, our sect has so many outstanding talents…"

Xia Bing gave her a sideways glance, "I never considered a Dao Companion matter."

She didn't know, Jiang Yu had also told Sui Lv Zhenjun almost the same thing, "Master, Xia Shijie probably has nothing against that person."
