"The Crown Prince... was actually the patriarch of two great immortal sects?"
Watching that child, not even four years old, leave surrounded by experts from the two great immortal sects, Du Bai and Shi Xuan were utterly shocked.
"I heard people in the market discussing it earlier. The Penglai Immortal Sect and the Yingzhou Immortal Sect are both among the Eight Great Immortal Sects of the World. Moreover, the two sects are closely linked, as intimate as one family. So they share a common patriarch—no wonder!"
Shi Xuan raised his eyes toward the distant figures amid the sky full of rosy clouds, his face brimming with longing. "Though we have inheritances, we still need guidance and support on the path of cultivation. So, I intend to join an immortal sect."
"The Four Essentials of Cultivation are technique, companion, wealth, and land. If one wishes to go far on the path of cultivation, joining a sect is inevitable."
Du Bai nodded. "But if we are joining a sect, we need to choose a suitable one."
For Du Bai, the foundation of his cultivation would inevitably be the Freedom Method, a Great Dao True Law that pointed directly to Eternal Creation. Such a profound inheritance could never be casually passed down by any sect.
Even if he joined a sect, he could not possibly obtain an inheritance as profound as the Freedom Method.
Therefore, no matter which sect he joined, the technique Du Bai cultivated would still have to be the Freedom Method. That meant he needed to find a sect somehow related to the Freedom Method.
"There are sect records from the cultivation world in the marketplace. Let's buy a copy and study them."
Shi Xuan shared Du Bai's concerns. The techniques within the Shang Qing Bao Lu were unfathomably profound.
