เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 มี.ค. 2569 07:29

Every single announcement board in the sect was surrounded by disciples after news of its latest announcement was spread. "What? Our sect challenged Mystic Delight Pavilion to a Dual Cultivation Exchange? Why would we suddenly challenge them?" "Only the Sect Leader could challenge another sect, right? We haven’t challenged or accepted a challenge in so long that I forgot about Dual Cultivation Exchanges…" Find adventures on freewebnovel.com "We’ve been looked down on and mocked by the other dual cultivation sects because of that… Maybe that is why the Sect Leader did this." "But why the Mystic Delight Pavilion of all places? They’re currently the number one dual cultivation sect in the Four Divine Heavens! There’s no way we can defeat them in our current state!" The disciples were more puzzled than excited by the announcement. During a Dual Cultivation Exchange, disciples from each sect would engage in dual cultivation with members of the opposing sect. Essentially, it was a tournament tailored specifically for dual cultivators. However, this tournament wouldn’t take place on a grand stage; instead, it would be held within a private venue, ensuring an intimate and secluded setting for the participants. Typically, only the most talented and seasoned disciples would participate in a Dual Cultivation Exchange, so none of the Outer Court or Inner Court disciples even considered participating. However, it wasn’t just the disciples who were puzzled. The sect elders were just as dumbfounded and confused when they heard the announcement, which had been made without any prior meeting or warning. "Is this even real?" A sect elder questioned, doubting its legitimacy. "The Sect Leader left the sect sometime ago and hasn’t returned since then, so we cannot ask her until she returns." "Is the Vice Sect Leader aware of this?" "Apparently, he found out at the same time as the rest of us." "So the Sect Leader made this decision without consulting anyone? Just what in heaven’s name is she thinking?" "Ah… I can already imagine what will happen when we lose this exchange. Our Boundless Yin Yang Sect’s reputation will fall to rock bottom, and what little prestige we once had will be gone." "Our sect’s reputation has been falling for hundreds of years now. If it weren’t for the God of Pleasure, our sect would’ve collapsed long ago." "If only the God of Pleasure was still here…" Meanwhile, the Vice Sect Leader, Chen Yi, immediately contacted the Sect Leader after learning about the announcement. "Sect Leader! What is going on?! Please tell me you didn’t challenge the Mystic Delight Pavilion to a Dual Cultivation Exchange!" Chen Yi said in a nervous tone. "It’s true. I challenged the Mystic Delight Pavilion to a Dual Cultivation Exchange yesterday. I will return soon. We can talk about it then." Afterward, the sect leader stopped the connection to her communication jade slip, leaving Chen Yi no room to argue. "T-that unreasonable woman! Ever since Su Yang corrupted her, she’s never been the same! Damn it!" Chen Yi stomped the floor in anger, but there was nothing he could do, as he’d never successfully changed the sect leader’s mind. Chen Yi called for an emergency meeting shortly after, gathering all of the sect elders in one place. "I have spoken with the Sect Leader, confirming that our Boundless Yin Yang Sect will be participating in a Dual Cultivation Exchange with the Mystic Delight Pavilion, and the Sect Leader will be returning to the sect soon." "Did she tell you the reason for this sudden event, Vice Sect Leader?" one of the sect elders inquired. "No, she did not, but I’m sure she has a good reason…" Chen Yi spoke with a stiff expression on his face. "Has the Mystic Delight Pavilion contacted us yet?" another sect elder questioned. "No, I have received no news from them." "This will be our first Dual Cultivation Exchange in a while. Does the sect have any plans to ensure we don’t lose too badly?" asked another sect elder, sounding not too confident about their sect’s victory. However, no one blamed her, as they all shared the same sentiment. Despite the Boundless Yin Yang Sect’s rich history and prestige, it was, at its core, a mediocre sect, and the Sect Leader’s depression over Su Yang’s death hadn’t helped. The only reason the sect had gained such popularity in the past was because of Su Yang. Without him, they would have likely remained an average sect. "Even though the Sect Leader said participation is optional, we will need our best disciples to participate so that we won’t embarrass ourselves." Chen Yi said. "I agree. We need our best disciples to participate in this exchange," agreed a sect elder. "Although the Sect Leader’s offer is already enticing enough, we should add several more rewards in case the Core Disciples refuse to participate." Unlike Outer Court or Inner Court disciples, Core Disciples have the privilege of declining to assist a sect elder for any reason, even if the request comes from the Vice Sect Leader. The only person they cannot refuse is the Sect Leader herself. "What kind of rewards do you have in mind?" Chen Yi asked. "I don’t know yet, but if the disciple needs something, we can do our best to help them acquire it." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦 As their meeting continued, Su Yang stood before an announcement board with Lin Xinyi by his side. "A Dual Cultivation Exchange, huh? What an obvious attempt of trying to lure me out." Su Yang mumbled with a slight smile. "Huh? Why would the sect be trying to lure you?" Lin Xinyi turned to look at him with a puzzled face. "Not the sect. The Sect Leader." Su Yang corrected her. "So you’re going to participate?" Su Yang stared at the announcement for a moment before shaking his head, "No, I won’t." "Really? Even if you don’t win, I’m sure you’ll receive a lot of recognition for your skills," she said. Although she didn’t mention it, Lin Xinyi was sure Su Yang would participate, as he seemed like the type of person to jump at every opportunity given to him.
