After Xuan Yi took Bai Weiwei to the back mountain, the people at the assembly had different expressions on their faces.

Most of them looked envious.

Among them, He Long and Yang Mu looked especially shocked and disappointed.

The two of them had come to this assembly in the hope of becoming personal disciples of Elder Xuan. Now, they could only watch helplessly as an outer sect disciple whose strength was far inferior to theirs became Xuan Yi’s personal disciple. How could they not be disappointed?

The female disciples felt especially jealous of Bai Weiwei.

This was because Elder Xuan Yi had carried Bai Weiwei away in his arms, and she had actually fainted.

This kind of scene was something that they did not even dare to dream about. However, it had happened before their eyes. Moreover, Bai Weiwei’s strength and talent were ranked at the bottom. How could they not be jealous?

On the practice field, Ma Wuliang stood there in fury. However, he could not show it.

Just now, he had been suppressed by Xuan Yi’s aura and got severe internal injuries. Moreover, in front of so many people, he could not even resist Xuan Yi’s aura. He would definitely become a joke in the entire south domain.

The sect master just smiled and shook his head helplessly. After all, it wasn’t the first time that Xuan Yi did such an outrageous thing. What ability did he have to stop Xuan Yi? He could only let him be.

After Xuan Yi’s departure, the third test progressed very quickly.

After all, everyone had come here in the hope of becoming Elder Xuan’s personal disciple.

Now that Elder Xuan was no longer around, it was better to end it quickly.

It was better to go back and cultivate hard, waiting for the next time when Elder Xuan took in a disciple.

After the third test, the Sword Worship Assembly ended.

He Long and Yang Mu became the personal disciples of two elders of the sect, while Ma Liang became the personal disciple of Elder Ma.

When the assembly ended, Li Changqing and Wang Ye exchanged a glance, with a smile in their eyes.

After all, the disciples of the Profound Sword Sect this year were all very ordinary. It was a great thing for what they were going to say next.

They said to Qing Xuzi, “We’re filled with admiration after watching the Sword Worship Assembly. I wonder if you are ready to open the Sage Mystic Realm.”

“Yes, Old Qing, we agreed on it a few years ago and you can’t go back on your words. None of us can open this mystic realm, even if we work together, unless we have the approval of your Profound Sword Sect.”

“That’s right, fellow Daoist Qing Xuzi. We already missed the opportunity to open the mystic realm last time. This time, don’t try to shirk your responsibility,” said the sect masters of the other great sects.

Although Qing Xuzi had guessed their purpose, he was still displeased.

How could he not know about this Sage Mystic Realm?

The origin of this mystic realm was closely related to the Profound Sword Sect.

In the past, the Profound Sword Sect had produced a master of the Noble King Realm. His name was Li Wendao, and he was the founder of the Profound Sword Sect. Unlike Qing Xuzi, Li Wendao had incredible talent. At his peak, he reached the peak of the ninth level of the Noble King Realm!

With this strength, he was unrivalled in the south domain of that time.

The entire south domain was in his control back then. No one in the region dared to challenge the Profound Sword Sect or disobey its orders.

However, because Li Wendao’s heart was set on the Dao, his goal wasn’t the southern domain. Instead, he wanted to break through to a higher realm. So he went to a larger region.

Unfortunately, when Li Wendao returned to the south domain, not only did he fail to break through, he was on the verge of death.

Because he had been gone for hundreds of years, the Profound Sword Sect was no longer the same as it had been when he had left.

Different cultivation methods, different forces, and different beliefs had long divided the sect into countless smaller sects.

The foundation that he had worked so hard to build was destroyed just like that.

He was not pleased.

Therefore, before he died, he made a dying wish.

Whoever could obtain his inheritance and pass the test he set up would be the leader of the south region.

In the mystic realm he left behind, other than countless treasures, there was one thing that all the sect leaders coveted. That was his notes of how to enter the Noble King Realm. There were also rumors that Li Wendao had long found the secret to advance from the Noble King Realm, given enough time, he would be able to reach the Sage Realm. However, he was pursued by his enemies, so he did not have time to cultivate. He could only leave it behind as his inheritance.

People named this mystic realm after Sage Li, the respectful title people gave to him.

It was commonly known as the Sage Mystic Realm!

In order for the person who received his inheritance to gain people’s recognition, Li Wendao had set up a rule.

This mystic realm could only be entered by young geniuses under the age of 30.

After all, the purpose was to select the highest ruler of the south domain.

If a person had to make up for the lack of talent with cultivation, then he was not qualified to be the ruler.

In the Sage Mystic Realm, there were countless divine weapons, peerless elixirs, powerful cultivation techniques, and even the notes of how to reach the Noble King Realm!

One had to know that there were only a few Noble King Realm masters in the entire south domain. Every one of them was a leader of the south domain and a power to block the myriad alien races from the outer region!

This secret of reaching the noble king realm was coveted by many sect masters in the south domain.

This was because they had been stuck in the Sect Master Realm for God knows how many years.

If their strength could not improve, they would die. How could they not be anxious?

Not to mention the biggest temptation: the leadership of the entire south domain.

Therefore, every time a peerless genius appeared in one of the top 100 sects, it would definitely cause a stir in the entire south domain.

This time, when the Heaven Array Sect and the Myriad Beast Sect heard about the Sword Worship Assembly, they brought their disciples over to take a look at the situation.

In the end, they found the Profound Sword Sect’s disciples under the age of 30 were a bunch of trash.

This made them extremely excited.

How could Qing Xuzi not know the purpose of these top 100 sects?

This was also the reason why he placed so much importance on Xuan Yi. He hoped that he could choose a disciple with excellent talent to participate in this mystic realm expedition.

But in the end…

Qing Xuzi frowned, feeling extremely frustrated.

He had stayed in the Sect Master Realm for too long, and his heart yearned for the Noble King Realm.

More importantly, after Li Wendao’s death, the Profound Sword Sect was nothing more than a shell. Only after obtaining the inheritance of the founder would it be a truly powerful and unified sect.

As the sect master, how could Qing Xuzi not want the Profound Sword Sect to regain its glory?

He had refused these two people last time. But these two old geezers had told all the top 100 sects about this mystic realm and they were exerting pressure on him together.

It seemed like he had to agree this time.

Just as he was feeling extremely depressed, a white-robed figure with incredible talent suddenly appeared in his mind.

That’s right, this person was Xuan Yi!

When he thought of Xuan Yi, Qing Xuzi’s gaze became firm.

He said calmly, “Alright, my Profound Sword Sect has no objection.”
