The Strange Zhengyuan Sect and Heavenly Azure Hall

The Heavenly Azure Hall is generally perceived as mysterious and powerful in the Heavenly Azure Continent, while the Zhengyuan Sect is synonymous with enlightenment, integrity, and kindness.

That's right, it's kindness!

This is also what made Xiao Han suspicious.

Although it's a stereotype, Xiao Han believes that almost no one or any force in the Mysterious Fantasy World can be associated with the word "kindness".

Honesty and open-mindedness are easy to say; it's just a matter of the sect's style of doing things. The Langya Pavilion had a similar reputation in Central Plains back then, but kindness...

Those who can grow into powerful beings are all ruthless and murderous stars; how can they be associated with kindness?

Moreover, this is not just one person, but an entire sect, a group of people!

It wasn't that Xiao Han was judging others by his own petty standards, but rather that the word "kindness" felt quite out of place in the Mysterious Fantasy World's overarching theme of killing and battle.

It goes without saying that things like clearing out Magical Beast, eliminating bandits, and fighting evil are all included.

Only in Mysterious Fantasy World with extraordinary powers would natural disasters not occur; otherwise, Xiao Han believed that the Zhengyuan Sect would at least provide disaster relief.

The above is still within the realm of understanding.

As for what happens next...

Have you ever seen any organization that specifically allocates a batch of recruitment slots to those considered "useless" by the public?

Zhengyuan Sect.

Reason: Education should be accessible to all, giving ordinary people a chance to change their destiny. They even took special care to consider the feelings of others.

After all, the definition of an ordinary person in the extraordinary system is not the same as that of an ordinary person.

Xiao Han: The Zhengyuan Sect has time travelers, so they know that good-for-nothings can produce geniuses, right?

This was his first impression.

The weirdest part is coming...

These "useless" individuals, after entering the Zhengyuan Sect, all seemed to have cheat codes. Not to mention becoming geniuses, their cultivation speed was at least able to catch up with ordinary people, and some exceptions even directly surpassed "geniuses".

Therefore, Zhengyuan Sect directly became a holy land in the eyes of all the "trash" on the Heavenly Azure Continent, a holy land to defy fate!

Furthermore, for these "useless" individuals who joined the Zhengyuan Sect, the Zhengyuan Sect was undoubtedly a turning point in their lives, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them their saviors. After all, the useless and the weak are not well-regarded and their survival rate is not high anywhere.

These disciples, whose fates were altered, should have been loyal to the sect and contributed to its glory.

However, after they achieved a certain level of success, some of them actually demanded to leave the sect and establish their own sect!

Ungrateful wretch! Even the Founding Ancestor were ungrateful wretches!

A disciple nurtured with a great deal of resources is about to leave without giving anything back to the sect? Are you kidding me?

What's going on? Are you treating the sect like a charity?

No other power could tolerate this.

More importantly...

Zhengyuan Sect agreed!

He directly announced to the world that they should part amicably and hoped that his colleagues would not make things difficult for the other party.

This isn't kindness, this is sainthood!

What's even more suspicious is that Zhengyuan Sect's "kind" approach has harmed the interests of many forces. Zhengyuan Sect, which should have enemies all over the world, is actually getting along well with other forces, and the people of the Heavenly Azure Continent don't seem to understand it at all.

After all...

With such noble character and integrity, shouldn't we all live in harmony with the Zhengyuan Sect?

However, how could a power that has grown to a certain level not have any enemies?

No, there should be one more: Heavenly Azure Hall.

"The Zhengyuan Sect? This is interesting."

Xiao Han narrowed his eyes slightly; in his mind, suspicion about this organization skyrocketed.

Of course, it's also possible that he's overthinking things. The Heavenly Azure Hall, with its poor reputation and ambiguous nature, is the real master. The least likely possibility is that he's completely wrong, and he needs to "investigate on-site" everything.

Xiao Han's method of "on-site investigation" is very simple.

That night, a furtive figure quietly broke through the perception array of the Heavenly Azure Hall and infiltrated it. His target was the tallest building in the Heavenly Azure Hall, Hidden Heaven Hall, which was also the secluded cultivation place of the Heavenly Azure Hall Master.

"Who dares to sneak into the Hidden Heaven Hall!"

Xiao Han had just stepped into the area of the Hidden Heaven Hall, taking only one step and not yet fully exiting the space, when the alarm sounded throughout the sky. At the same time, an angry shout came from the top floor of the Hidden Heaven Hall. The person was at least an Earthly Supreme, which would be the highest level Nine Palaces Realm in the Heavenly Azure Continent's ranking system, the limit of the plane.

"It crashed."

Xiao Han was only slightly stunned and extremely annoyed. The disciples Elder of Heavenly Azure Hall Disciple had already begun to surround Hidden Heaven Hall. He sensed two auras that were no weaker than the person who had spoken earlier rapidly approaching. Helpless, Xiao Han had no choice but to quietly slip away.

Not long after the former left, two figures appeared in the same spot, one middle-aged and one old. Both had serious expressions and did not say any nonsense. After carefully examining their surroundings, they looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly in unison.

"Let's go and report back to the Hall Master. This person who came is no ordinary person!" the old man said solemnly.

The middle-aged man nodded solemnly, took out a jade talisman, and transmitted a message:

"Return to your positions!"

Seeing the crowd below return to their respective places, the two of them flashed and headed straight for the top floor.

In this "small" stone chamber, which was no more than a hundred feet in diameter, six powerful figures sat cross-legged. When the two entered, the number increased to eight.

"Didn't find it?"

As soon as the two appeared on the top floor, the young man surrounded by people in the center of the stone chamber opened his slightly closed eyes and said calmly.

"Yes."

After a moment of silence, the two finally nodded in response.

Upon hearing this answer, everyone except the young man changed their expressions, realizing the significance behind it.

A higher level of existence has arrived!

Those present were certain that the opponent's strength allowed them to enter and leave Heavenly Azure Hall as if it were empty. If Hidden Heaven Hall hadn't specially set up a formation to sense spatial fluctuations, and if the opponent hadn't been so arrogant as to not conceal the spatial fluctuations, Hidden Heaven Hall would probably have been thoroughly investigated by the opponent without even realizing it.

Such a being's strength must far surpass that of everyone present, including the Heavenly Azure Hall.

The latter is currently the strongest person on the Heavenly Azure Continent, at the Nine Palaces Realm Peak.

Such a person definitely does not belong to the Heavenly Azure Continent.

At least not the Heavenly Azure Continent as it is now.

Since that place appeared, the path to ascension on the Heavenly Azure Continent has been completely cut off. Even a brilliant and outstanding being like the Heavenly Azure Hall is firmly blocked at the Nine Palaces Realm, unable to make any progress.

"Hall Master, could it be those things?"

At this moment, someone frowned and looked at the young man in the center, asking solemnly, "This is perhaps the most likely explanation."

The Heavenly Azure Hall shook his head.

"No, at least those guys have suffered enough to be reckless and won't barge into the Hidden Heaven Hall."

"And..."

"If it were those things, Qin Hai and Yang Tian wouldn't have been completely unaware of them."

Upon hearing this, the others thought about it carefully and nodded in agreement.

Qin Hai and Yang Tian were the two who went to investigate. They were powerful experts in the late stage of the Nine Palaces Realm. Due to the special nature of their cultivation techniques, they were extremely sensitive to auras. Even though their level was a whole realm lower, they still had the ability to detect creatures from outside the void.

"The infiltrator..."

Someone was about to speak when they were interrupted by the Heavenly Azure Hall.

"I think this visitor will bring about some changes in the situation."

A smile appeared on the lips of the Heavenly Azure Hall.

"Positive changes."

In a corner, Xiao Han observed the now-calm Heavenly Azure Hall and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Quick reaction, formidable strength, hopefully it's not you."

As the leader of the power, Xiao Han gleaned many insights from the Heavenly Azure Hall's response.

Without a doubt, Heavenly Azure Hall truly deserves its title as the number one power in Tian Lan. Whether it is top experts or lower-level disciples, their execution, character, and strength are all remarkable.

If even such a powerful force has problems, it would be a huge loss for the Heavenly Azure Continent, especially for someone like him who considers the Heavenly Azure Continent his own.

"Never mind, let's move on to the next one."
