Mystic Universe Heavenly Palace!

The next morning.

Outside the Evolutionary Spirit Sect.

Nearly ten thousand disciples from throughout the Evolutionary Spirit Sect had gathered.

"Congratulations, Young Sect Master! Congratulations!"

Nearly ten thousand disciples offered their congratulations with envy.

Joining the Mystic Universe Heavenly Palace, even with ordinary talent, was like a fish leaping through the Dragon Gate and soaring into the heavens!

Their future would surely place them above the masses, making them the pride of the Cloud Azure Territory!

"Junior Brother Sun, you must carry out the task the sect has entrusted to you without fail. Protect the Evolutionary Spirit Sect. If anything happens, I'll hold you accountable!"

Even as he was leaving, Zhao Wuji did not forget to remind him once more.

"Rest assured, Senior Brother Zhao. Nothing will happen while I'm here."

Sun Shan answered with a smile and watched them leave.

"Daughter, remember that you owe your admission to the Mystic Universe Heavenly Palace to Xu Xuan. Once you enter the sect, you must help and support each other. Do you understand?"

Yun Qianhe spoke with some reluctance to part.

But he knew his daughter had grown up and would eventually marry. Besides, she could learn a great deal at the Mystic Universe Heavenly Palace, so he certainly would not stop her.

In fact, he could hardly contain his delight!

"Don't worry, Father."

Yun Qingxue nodded. Without her noticing, Xu Xuan had taken her hand.

She did not resist at all; Yun Qingxue even felt a secret thrill of delight.

Seeing this, Yun Qianhe nodded in reassurance. He felt reasonably at ease entrusting his daughter to Xu Xuan.

It seemed that their feelings for each other had gradually deepened over the days they had spent together.

"It's getting late. Time to leave."

As Zhao Wuji spoke, he gently opened his palm. A disc of light shot into the sky, then transformed into an enormous flying artifact!

"This is a high-grade spirit artifact, the Flying Spirit Butterfly. It can carry ten people, and its speed rivals that of a Purple Mansion Mirror expert!"

Seeing their confusion, Zhao Wuji volunteered an explanation, then leaped straight onto the Flying Spirit Butterfly.

Holding Yun Qingxue's hand, Xu Xuan also leaped onto the Flying Spirit Butterfly.

The highest-grade weapon in the Evolutionary Spirit Sect was only a mid-grade spirit artifact.

Yet the spirit artifact Zhao Wuji casually produced was high-grade. That alone offered a glimpse of the gulf between them.

"Hold on tight. Let's go!"

Propelled by spiritual energy, the Flying Spirit Butterfly darted into the sky and vanished...

Within the Grand Mystic Dao Province.

The Flying Spirit Butterfly swept across the Grand Mystic Dao Continent, bearing the boldly engraved name of the Mystic Universe Heavenly Sect!

"They're from the Mystic Universe Heavenly Sect. I didn't expect them to arrive so soon."

People from the other factions looked up, but when they saw only three people standing aboard the Flying Spirit Butterfly, disdain appeared on their faces.

"Heh, looks like the Mystic Universe Heavenly Palace isn't all that impressive. I heard they went to some place called the Cloud Azure Territory this time, but who would have thought they'd recruit only two disciples? Clearly, talented youngsters are scarce in the Cloud Azure Territory."

Some busybodies shook their heads and pontificated, their voices dripping with contempt for the Cloud Azure Territory.

Aboard the Flying Spirit Butterfly, Xu Xuan remained expressionless, completely ignoring their remarks.

He could use his actions to deliver a stinging slap to their faces!

There was no need to get into a dispute just for a moment's satisfaction.

"Oh?"

Zhao Wuji could not help giving Xu Xuan another look, inwardly marveling at the young man's exceptional temperament!

That truly was exceedingly rare!

His talent, temperament, and character were all outstanding. Even searching with a lantern, one would struggle to find a disciple like him!

Ding! Zhao Wuji admired the host inwardly. Host's Fate Points +445!

Hearing the system notification, even Xu Xuan froze for a moment. He had not expected such an unexpected reward; he had simply disdained saying anything more.

Yun Qingxue, on the other hand, was so angry that her pretty face trembled. Had Xu Xuan not been holding her hand tightly, she would probably have flown into a rage!

"A thousand meters ahead lies our Mystic Universe Heavenly Palace. Even within the Grand Mystic Dao Province, our palace holds a place among the prominent powers."

Because the Mystic Universe Heavenly Palace held an irreplaceable position within the Grand Mystic Dao Province, it was also known as the Grand Mystic Dao Palace!

Whoosh!!

Almost in an instant, the Flying Spirit Butterfly carrying them arrived outside the Mystic Universe Heavenly Palace.

The Mystic Universe Heavenly Palace occupied an immense area. Even from outside, it was clear that its grounds were far larger than those of the Evolutionary Spirit Sect.

The Mystic Universe Heavenly Palace's name plaque hung amid the clouds and mist, whose drifting veils further highlighted the palace's extraordinary grandeur.

"So this is the Mystic Universe Heavenly Palace? How magnificent!"

Xu Xuan looked the Mystic Universe Heavenly Palace up and down. Several of its great halls actually stood amid the clouds. The halls were nearly a hundred meters tall, and with the palace itself perched atop a mountain range, they reached ever closer to the clouds.

The closer one was to the clouds, the richer the spiritual energy became, and the faster one could cultivate.

"No wonder every disciple who leaves the Mystic Universe Heavenly Palace is at least at the Heavenly Mansion level! If the Evolutionary Spirit Sect had spiritual energy this rich, it wouldn't be confined to a remote corner!"

Xu Xuan marveled repeatedly. He had not even entered the Mystic Universe Heavenly Palace, yet he could already feel the endless spiritual energy suffusing the air.

The boundless spiritual energy entered his body through every pore, filling him with comfort.

Beside him, Yun Qingxue also let out a soft moan of pleasure and said eagerly, "Senior Zhao, let's hurry down."

Zhao Wuji nodded and used his spiritual energy to guide the Flying Spirit Butterfly down at an exceedingly slow pace.

"Senior Brother Zhao, you're back?"

The two disciples guarding the gate were at the peak of the Sea Transformation Realm. These two gatekeepers alone could have strode unchallenged through the Cloud Azure Territory.

"Mm."

Zhao Wuji nodded in greeting.

"This is the new disciple who awakened the chaos body. Although he was born in the Cloud Azure Territory, he has already reached the peak of Transforming Sea at his young age."

"What?"

Both gatekeepers were startled and stared at Xu Xuan in shock. Exceptionally talented disciples had come before, but even the strongest had only been at the fifth level of Transforming Sea. Now someone with a chaos body had arrived with cultivation equal to their own. How could they not be astonished?

"That aura truly is unique to the peak of Transforming Sea!"

After briefly sensing his aura, they were even more stunned, and their manner softened somewhat.

"Senior Brother Zhao, Junior Brother, Junior Sister, please come in."

Xu Xuan felt little at their change in attitude, but he did not put on airs either.

"You're too kind, senior brothers. I've only just arrived and still have much to learn. I'll be relying on your guidance in the future."

Xu Xuan's calm, unhurried manner and lack of arrogance won the two guards' goodwill.

Ding! The host gained the goodwill of the two gatekeeping disciples. Fate Points +224!

Ding! The host gained Yun Qingxue's affection. Fate Points +256!

Understanding dawned on Xu Xuan. He had finally grasped the basis on which the system awarded him points.
