Chapter 830 - Upcoming Disciple Examination "Yuan, do you need me to come with you?" Chu liuxiang asked him shortly after he handed them spirit stones. "It's going to be a dangerous journey, and I don't know that to expect, so it would be for the best if I went alone." Yuan shook his head. "Dangerous? How dangerous?" Li jinxi asked, her eyes filled with curiosity. "It's a place called demons' Valley, and according to the person who gave me this information, it can make people go crazy if they go there." "That doesn't sound good... at all." Meixiu said with a worried frown on her face. "I will be fine." Yuan showed her a confident smile. After talking with the others for a couple more minutes, Yuan left the square and began making his way towards the Demons' Valley. A few hours later, near sunrise, Feng Yuxiang said, "Young Master, this is the furthest we can go using the teleportation device. We'll have to travel by ourselves now." "Will we make it before the examination begins?" He asked "We should barely make it if we don't stop." Feng Yuxiang nodded "That's good enough." They began flying towards their destination after leaving the city. During their journey, Yuan would spend most of his time staring at the scenery that was mostly filled with mountains and vast empty lands. At time, he would fly over small villages that only had a dozen houses at most. Eventually, he realized something. "Feng Feng, is it just me or is there a lack of water in this world?" Yuan asked her "A lack of water?" Feng Yuxiang started laughing after hearing his words. "Young Master, the cultivation world is mostly made up of water. While it may seem like there is a lot of land, the truth is that compared to water, the Nine Heavens is only 30 porcent land." "The Spirit Heaven is mostly land, but once you reach the upper heavens, most cities are separated by many seas, and it would require days if not weeks of traveling just to reach the next city if you do not have a good flying treasure." "Speaking of flying treasures, where do I buy them? I don't personally need them, but I am thinking about giving them to my friends so that they can travel around more conveniently." "Flying treasures are quite rare even in this world, and even if you find one, they're not that fast. You'll have to travel to the upper heavens if you want a good flying treasure, but if you still want some, i know of a place in this world that sells them." "However, you schedule is a little tight right now..." Yuan then said, "It can wait until I finish my current appointments." A few hours later, Yuan descended and said, "let's take a break. I will be back in two to three hours." "Okay" Feng Yuxiang entered his body to rest, and Yuan logged off shortly after to have breakfast with the others. "Guys, have you heard about the upcoming disciple examination? Apparently, some big sects are hosting this disciple examination about a week from now, and there are tens of thousands of players that will be participating." Wang Ming suddenly brought up the Seven Spirit Academies' Disciple examination. "Are you going to participate?" Shi Lang asked him "I am thinking about it, but since Yuan will be ascending soon, that means we'll get to ascend as well, right? What's the point of joining a sect when I can join a much better sect in the next realm?" Wang Ming said. Wang Bingbing raised her eyesbrows and said, "Have you already forgotten about what happened recently? There are tens of thousands of players currently stuck in Spirit Heaven because they rushed to ascend without having sufficient strenght, so they are forced to rely on stronger players to even leave the city." "The next realm will surely be much harder than Spirit Heaven, and I doubt anyone but Yuan would be able to survive such a place." "Now that you mention it..." Wang Ming began reconsidering his decision. "What do you think, Yuan? Should we join one of these sects?" Hong Xiuquan suddenly asked him. Yuan pondered for a moment before nodding his head," Honestly, I think it would benefit all of you if you joined a sect. Wang Bingbing is right. Even if I ascend to the next realm, I don't think you should follow me, especially since we don't know what's up there." "Furthermore, the sects in question are top sects in Spirit Heaven, and there are seven of them. I'm sure there's a lot of new things you can learn from them." The others exchanged glances with each other. "So who's going to participate?" Wang Ming asked them "I'll do it." Shi Lang said. "We cannot rely on Yuan for everything. I am going to join a sect and improve myself from there." Wu Zao nodded and said, "I will also participate. I don't have anything else to do, anyway." One by one, the Demon Sealing Faction decided to join a sect. "What about you, Li Jinxi?" They turned to look at her. "I'm fine by myself." She calmly responded "Really? How do you even train yourself nowadays?" Xi Murong asked her. "I hunt monsters." She quickly replied "That's it?" Li Jinxi nodded "As expected from the tyrannical gorilla... She probably enjoys hunting monsters all day..." Wang Ming mumbled in a low voice. "I heard you." Li Jinxi narrowed her eyes at him, causing him to tremble. "I-It's just a joke." "Anyways, I do not intend on joining any sects. I am satisfied with my current routine, and I get a lot of monster cores from it as well," She said a moment later. "If that's what you want to do, we won't try to convince you." Shi Lang said. "The two of you will probably follouw Yuan when he ascends, right?" Wang Bingbing suddenly turned to look at Meixiu and Chu Liuxiang. "Of course." Chu Liuxiang immediately responded. Meixiu also agreed by nodding her head.
