Chapter 136: Everyone Has Their Own Aspirations

"No, don't worry; even if there is, the elder will find a way to remove it," Jiang Tu was absolutely certain there was no Ye Zhenren, but there was his junior disciple Deng Yuanwu.

Also, Sister Ye Lianye, who entered the sect at the same time as Jiang Yu.

It added, "Seventeen Jie Dan Fish Cards are mostly sought by one's own disciples or descendants, to recognize a master together."

"By the way, Lin Yuan also succeeded in recognizing a master."

"In other words, we have only left forty Fish Cards in total."

"Lately, neither the Dao nor the Demon side has anyone found any, right?" Jiang Yu, while following her master to register names, discussed this via telepathy with it.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan, who was practicing sword formation, sent her a telepathic message: "Jiang Yu, I thought you weren't here?"

"Once our Fish Card successfully recognized a master, the sect leader confiscated the communication devices, brought them here for training, and we are no longer allowed to contact the outside."

At the same time, Lu Ruochan looked at Jiang Yu and telepathically said to her: "Jiang Yu, it's not that I didn't tell you; the communication devices were confiscated."

Including Senior Sister Gu Bingwen, who also apologized for not being able to inform her of this matter.

Jiang Yu telepathically responded to each of them, understanding herself.

However, after the name registration, Elder Hu halted the training and, pulling Jiang Yu before the crowd, declared: "This time, the person who truly found the Tai Chi Fish Card is Jiang Yu."

"And I am merely receiving the credit on her behalf."

"I hope everyone cherishes this opportunity, practices the combined attack formation as best as possible; at critical moments, you can use numbers to defeat the enemy."

"Because those who enter the Great Luo Cave Heaven include not only demonic cultivators and lone practitioners, but also cultivators from another celestial realm."

Upon hearing this, dozens of Foundation Establishment disciples turned to Jiang Yu, their eyes shining with envy to the point of overflow.

Then Elder Hu said, "Now, let Jiang Yu tell you how the cultivators from the other Eastern Continent differ from us."

At this point, a group of Foundation Establishment disciples began whispering; most had guessed that Jiang Yu's two‑year disappearance was spent in an external celestial realm.

Elder Hu's single command, "Silence," made everyone instantly quiet and watch attentively.

Jiang Yu glanced at her master, and after he gave a slight nod, stepped forward: "Cultivators from the Eastern Continent are similar to us; their techniques and artifacts are not much different."

"But because they have an especially large number of cultivators, even the ten Dao sects and ten Demon sects consume a lot of resources."

"Therefore, the elixirs that actually reach low‑level hands are several times more expensive for us."

"This also makes their cultivators extremely aggressive."

Suddenly, a resonant, heroic voice rang out, "They are all brave and fierce, love to snatch treasures."

"Junior sister Jiang, your words still overly romanticize them."

"Hahaha." That laugh caused the whole group to burst into laughter.

Jiang Yu laughed and stepped back; there was really nothing more to say—meeting disciples from other sects in a secret realm is best left non‑interfering, but if a fight breaks out, you just act.

Not long after, Jiang Yu also joined the sword formation, but instead of following the unified positions, she practiced alone in a single spot.

She trained like this until the sun set, and the Jie Dan cultivator finally allowed everyone to rest.

Soon, a specialist delivered nourishing soup and spiritual food from the dining hall.

Jiang Yu looked at the tables of delicacies and invited Jiang Tu to eat together.

Jiang Tu whispered telepathically to her, "In the future, we don't know how many will return alive."

"Even if only one person returns, whether you believe we should now urge them to give up and hand the opportunity to others, they will definitely oppose," Jiang Yu knew the cultivators' nature too well; there was no need for pity, everyone understood.

The thought passed, and a few familiar senior brothers and sisters took a seat at a dining table.

Only then did Jiang Yu realize that other major and minor sects received between twenty and a few Tai Chi Fish Cards each.

Lu Ruochan raised everyone's question: "Jiang Yu, a Tai Chi Fish Card can carry two people at once; why didn't the person on your card come in to cultivate together?"

"The spiritual energy in this valley is extremely dense; after living here for a few years, one's cultivation might advance a small step."

"He has matters to attend to and is temporarily not in the sect," Jiang Yu could only give a vague answer at this moment.

Fortunately, no one pressed further about who the other person was; after all, they only share a Fish Card, not a designated Dao companion.

Yet a glance from Master Sui Lv Zhenjun made Jiang Yu treat the matter with caution.

She sighed softly and telepathically told Jiang Tu, "In a moment, you will leave the valley with the master, then contact Jiang Bai."

"Now, even Senior Sister Wan's Fish Card has been taken out to share with others; I believe no sect would waste a slot."

"Ask him whether he is willing to return to the sect."

Jiang Tu pondered for a moment, swallowed a large piece of meat, and said, "Do you want me to explain to your master? You should know that since you returned, you haven't met Jiang Bai."

"How could we possibly recognize the same Fish Card together."

Jiang Yu reminded it, "You forgot, the Fish Card was auctioned at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion a few years ago."

"By the way, go see how Thus: Xuantang Xingjun is doing." She wasn't eager to see him.

Jiang Tu's eyes flickered: "I'll bring Ao Ze; you and he have a contract again, many bring a helper."

"The Tianyuan Continent is bustling, and the Eastern Continent cultivators traveling between the two lands have surely already learned of it."

It was correct; just a few days ago, a cultivator who came from the Eastern Continent's Tianlu to Tianyuan to deliver goods heard about the Tai Chi Fish Card at the market that very day.

Those people were stunned; they had rarely appeared in the Great Luo Cave Heaven on Tianyuan Continent, so why did many Tai Chi Fish Cards suddenly surface?

They discussed and thought of sending the Great Void Sect to investigate, but unexpectedly, several merchant alliances that had always been courteous and never cared how long they stayed in Tianyuan actually sent people to accompany them throughout.

In fact it was surveillance; wherever you went, they followed, and before the person even reached the Great Void Sect, the news had already been transmitted.

And Sui Lv Zhenjun, who was leading Jiang Tu into the Nine Stars Returning Dust Formation, upon receiving the news immediately set out three thousand li from the sect to "personally welcome."

Jiang Tu, extremely bored, dragged Ao Ze and vented wildly about not being able to go to Er Mountain to fight.

When asked whether Ao Ze was willing to make a pact with Jiang Yu and venture into the cave together, he shook his head: "I won't go; if I accidentally fall into the other realm like you did, I won't be able to return for revenge."

He pointed at the incense burner where Jiang Du's lingering soul was trapped and said, "Look at him, how regrettable."

Jiang Tu, feeling deeply disappointed, called Jiang Bai, who replied, "I won't return to the Great Void Sect, nor will I ever enter anyone's secret valley to cultivate."

"And the Fish Card I have has already been exchanged for spiritual herbs."

Jiang Tu suddenly thought, "You, have you now recovered your cultivation?"

Jiang Bai's voice was relaxed and pleased: "Yes, this portion of spirit herbs is just enough to make a pill. I just took it a few days ago; after I finish my seclusion and consolidate for a while, I'll go bring you some delicacies."

Jiang Tu, everyone has their own aspirations; the Little Dragon King dreads being subjugated by others.

"Alright." Jiang Tu ended the call, and just as he was about to leave, the spirit swords within the Nine Luminaries Return-to-Dust Array buzzed.

Thus: Xuantang Xingjun's voice rang out: "Jiang Tu, quickly take me to find Jiang Yu; the Grand Luo Cave Heaven may open early."

Jiang Tu startled, whooshed into the formation and drew his sword; unexpectedly, a clump of gray mist burst from the sword, about to rush into its sea of consciousness.

The little dragon turtle reacted swiftly, spewing a mouthful of fire at the gray mist; at the same time its shrill cry rang out, Jiang Yu rushed in hurriedly.
