The Dao Sect's reserves, a giant Spirit Treasure warship, and a Spirit Treasure from signing in

Azure Feather Peak.

Disciples were streaming onto the Azure Feather Dao Sect's main peak.

Many outer disciples were entering the inner sect for the first time, and this was also their first visit to Azure Feather Peak.

Azure Feather Peak lay hidden amid clouds and mist. Its dense Spiritual Qi, the Golden Core experts visible everywhere, and the purple-robed personal disciples they had never seen before all opened the outer disciples' eyes.

The Azure Feather Dao Sect's personal disciples wore purple robes.

This was also Ye Xuan's first visit to Azure Feather Peak. Located at the center of the Dao Sect and home to countless experts, it gave Ye Xuan a true sense of the Dao Sect's might.

When they reached the square before Azure Feather Peak's main hall, over a thousand inner disciples had already gathered there.

The white-robed inner disciples and blue-robed outer disciples were as clearly separated as the Jing and Wei rivers.

Quite a few inner disciples and personal disciples had gathered nearby to watch, but none had stepped onto the square.

"What a shame. If the news had come a few months earlier, I wouldn't have broken through."

"Tell me about it. I heard that breaking through inside the Spirit Medicine Realm grants you a world blessing, and your aptitude improves by a huge margin."

"Heh, even if you hadn't broken through, could you have stood out among the inner disciples? Just look at how many of these twenty-five hundred people are elders' disciples. You're not supremely gifted. Trying to secure a spot would be nothing but a fool's dream."

A group of inner disciples discussed it among themselves, envy flashing in their eyes.

A world blessing-this was a benefit they had never even heard of before.

There were few outer disciples, so Ye Xuan and Ji Fenghe easily found Mo Qi and Xiao Yu and went over to them.

When Mo Qi saw Ye Xuan and Ji Fenghe approaching, his eyes immediately filled with wariness, and he unobtrusively shielded Xiao Yu behind him.

Xiao Yu lowered her head and smiled silently, then greeted Ye Xuan and Ji Fenghe cheerfully.

"What do you think? Shall we leave some marks once we're inside, so we can look out for one another?"

Ji Fenghe draped an arm over Mo Qi's shoulders as he spoke. In truth, Ji Fenghe had few friends in the outer sect. Apart from Ye Xuan, his only friends were Mo Qi and Xiao Yu.

There were too many uncertainties in the Spirit Medicine Realm. One more person meant one more measure of strength.

"All right."

Mo Qi turned to glance at Xiao Yu, then spoke after a moment's thought.

Although their master had given them quite a few protective Spirit Artifacts, who here didn't have those? Moreover, he and Xiao Yu were not even top disciples in the outer sect, and they would be at the bottom once they entered the Spirit Medicine Realm. Having Ye Xuan and Ji Fenghe with them would actually make things a little safer.

"Hehe, these are some good things I refined recently. Take them."

Gently waving his folding fan, Ji Fenghe took a dozen or so bottles of poison pills from his Qiankun Bag and stuffed them into Mo Qi's and Xiao Yu's arms.

Ever since the selection tournament, Ji Fenghe had been refining plenty of poison pills through the nights, many of them intended for those in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Ye Xuan took out some as well, and also gave them a few bottles of his specially made antidote pills.

Creak!

The main hall's doors opened, and Ling Ziling walked out with a group of elders.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

The disciples in the square spoke in unison.

This was Ye Xuan's first time seeing Ling Ziling, and also his first time seeing a Spirit Transformation expert.

Ling Ziling nodded and swept her gaze across everyone present.

The three thousand Qi Refinement disciples in the square were the hope of the Dao Sect's new generation.

"I won't waste words. This journey to the Spirit Medicine Realm was secured with the lives of our Dao Sect's predecessors."

"According to the Immortal Alliance's records, those who break through to Foundation Establishment within the Spirit Medicine Realm can receive a world blessing."

"So, on this journey into the Spirit Medicine Realm, I hope all disciples will prioritize staying alive. Of course, if any Demon Sect brats provoke you, there is no need to endure it."

The Dao Sect had only forty-odd years of fortune remaining, and Ling Ziling had set aside her aggressive ideas. With the world blessing, this group of disciples before her would shine brilliantly in the coming war between the righteous and demonic sects.

"All spirit medicine obtained in the Spirit Medicine Realm this time can be exchanged for sect contribution, with no upper limit. Spirit pills and Law Treasures will all be available for exchange."

After speaking, Ling Ziling swept her hand, and a giant warship slowly rose from behind Azure Feather Peak.

Its entire hull was bluish-gray and exuded a sense of weight.

The thousand-zhang-long warship blotted out the sky and sun. The enormous cannon muzzle at its bow sent chills through those who saw it, while rows of giant Spiritual Qi cannons along its sides pointed straight at the heavens.

"The Azure Feather Ship! Hiss, I never thought the Sect Master would deploy the Azure Feather Ship this time. It's the Dao Sect's foremost giant warship. I heard it's even a Spirit Treasure!"

"I heard that a hundred years ago, the previous Sect Master blasted open the Blood Demon Sect's sect-protecting formation with just three shots from the Azure Feather Ship's giant cannons!"

"This is one of the Dao Sect's reserves."

Qi Yue gave a sharp cry. Holding the Azure Feather Ship's subsidiary command token, he stepped into the sky and landed aboard the ship.

"All disciples, board the ship!"

The Qi Refinement disciples rose into the air one after another and flew toward the Azure Feather Ship.

Ye Xuan flew very slowly, carefully examining the Azure Feather Ship.

Despite possessing such an enormous weapon of war, the Azure Feather Dao Sect had not used it to unify the Southern Region.

This meant either that deploying the Azure Feather Ship consumed so much that the Dao Sect could not afford it, or that the other sects had corresponding warships, so the Azure Feather Dao Sect did not dare act rashly.

Regardless, Ye Xuan felt that keeping such a giant warship in the Azure Feather Dao Sect was somewhat like using great timber for a petty purpose.

Only in large-scale warfare could the Azure Feather Ship display its greatest strength.

After boarding the Azure Feather Ship, Ye Xuan tapped the deck lightly and released a thread of Spiritual Qi to examine it.

What sophisticated artifact-refining methods and formations.

The entire deck had been fashioned through artifact-refining methods. Densely packed formations lay hidden beneath it, and at Ye Xuan's current level, he could make out very little.

System, sign in!

[Ding!]

[Sign-in successful!]

[Congratulations to the host on obtaining the Spirit Treasure Azure Cloud Boat!]

[Claim the sign-in reward now?]

A Spirit Treasure!

Ye Xuan's pupils contracted slightly. The Azure Feather Ship was a Spirit Treasure, and that alone qualified it as one of the Azure Feather Dao Sect's reserves. He had never expected to obtain a Spirit Treasure from this sign-in as well.

Ye Xuan did not know how large the Azure Cloud Boat was, or whether a Spirit Treasure's appearance would cause any fluctuations, so he suppressed his curiosity and planned to claim the reward after entering the Spirit Medicine Realm.

"Depart!"

Qi Yue cupped his fist toward Ling Ziling and cast a spell onto the command token in his hand. The Azure Feather Ship began to rise slowly.

Above Azure Feather Peak, an opening appeared in the sect-protecting formation, allowing the Azure Feather Ship to pass through.

Boom!

The Azure Feather Ship went from stillness to motion in an instant. When Ye Xuan looked back, the Azure Feather Dao Sect was already out of sight.

Above the Azure Feather Dao Sect, a massive spatial rift was slowly closing.

And this was not even the Azure Feather Ship's greatest speed. Qi Yue toyed with the command token in his hand. Unfortunately, it was only a subsidiary token. Only the main token in Ling Ziling's possession could bring out the Azure Feather Ship's full power.

Qi Yue did not know whether it was his imagination, but he had felt constantly uneasy lately.

Pocketing the Azure Feather Ship-the Blood Demon Sect certainly has a huge appetite.

Through the token in his hand, Qi Yue learned for the first time just how powerful the Azure Feather Ship was. Even if he attacked it with all his strength, he would be unable to leave a single mark on it.

Looking up at the disciples brimming with youthful vigor, a shadow flashed through Qi Yue's eyes. He had already accepted the mission to ambush and kill the disciples. After this mission, he would fake his death and escape. What a pity about so many of the Dao Sect's prodigies.
