"Greetings, senior!"
After a brief silence, Yan Yuxing quickly stood up and respectfully bowed to the Source of All Spirits.
With Commander Yuan's death, the oppressive aura emanating from the Source of All Spirits was completely withdrawn from his body, allowing Yan Yuxing to finally stand up.
However, at this moment, the way he looked at the Source of All Spirits had completely changed.
If this person were a True Immortal, they would only earn his slight respect, but if they were a powerful Human Immortal, they would be someone he could look up to.
Although he already has one foot in the Human Immortal, he still needs considerable accumulation before truly reaching that level.
Moreover, this person is extraordinary even among those at the Human Immortal realm!
He was also curious as to why such a powerful expert would appear in this place.
At least apart from their Heavenly Derivation Sect, none of the small sects around them that dare to recruit ascensioners from the Mortal Realm would have Human Immortal among them.
For a moment, he even doubted whether this person was actually from their Heavenly Derivation Sect, or had just returned from somewhere else.
"Um!"
Seeing this, the Source of All Spirits simply nodded slightly and then retreated behind Su Chen.
Although Yan Yuxing's actions did not move him, he still felt some goodwill towards her.
If this is how people from the Heavenly Derivation Sect all behave, then it is indeed somewhat surprising to him.
Such a united sect doesn't seem to be very common.
The commotion at the Source of All Spirits was naturally observed by Yan Yuxing. Only then did he realize that this powerful Human Immortal was not the backbone of this group?
Judging from the attitude of the Source of All Spirits towards the young man in blue, perhaps this unassuming young man is even stronger?
In the cultivation world, especially in this Immortal Realm, strength is truly linked to status and rank.
Otherwise, no matter you are an elder, or even an elder's elder, in the eyes of those powerful people, you are nothing more than a roadside figure.
So, is it possible that these two are here because the other Loose Immortal who ascended this time are descendants of these two powerful Human Immortal?
Yan Yuxing is all I can guess.
The Immortal Realm is vast, and there are many Halls of Guidance. Not all ascendants will transition through their Heavenly Derivation Sect.
It's not impossible for some ascendants to break free and carve out their own path.
Ultimately, didn't their Heavenly Derivation Sect leader forge his own path before establishing the Heavenly Derivation Sect?
"My lords, now that Yuan Feng's squad has perished here at the Reception Hall, it will likely be long before their backers find out, and may even send someone to investigate."
"Behind them is Five Dragons Mountain, one of the affiliated sects under the Five Dragons Mountain Primordial Rock Peak Empire. Their sect leader is a powerhouse surpassing even the Human Immortal realm. Seniors, you should still be careful."
"If you gentlemen do not mind, I can introduce you to my Heavenly Derivation Sect. My Heavenly Derivation Sect has no fear of Five Dragons Mountain!"
"Yan Yuxing said in a low voice."
The two from the Source of All Spirits are probably both powerful Human Immortal. If they were to join their Heavenly Derivation Sect, it would be equivalent to strengthening the Heavenly Derivation Sect's foundation.
As for the ascendants accompanying these two, their Heavenly Derivation Sect receives ascendants from various places every now and then, so taking these few in is no big deal.
Although these ascendants also need to expend resources within the Heavenly Derivation Sect, the Heavenly Derivation Sect will also assign them corresponding tasks during this period, which can be considered a net offset.
Otherwise, where would their Heavenly Derivation Sect get so many resources to supply a continuous stream of ascendants for cultivation?
Once these people are familiar with the Immortal Realm, or at least with this area, they can leave the Heavenly Derivation Sect and begin to develop on their own.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Derivation Sect continues to recruit ascensionists, and this cycle repeats itself!
"No need!"
As soon as Yan Yuxing, Su Chen refused.
His senses had already spread all around. It was just a small Five Dragons Mountain. Not to mention himself, even the Source of All Spirits would be able to solo Five Dragons Mountain in a while.
Even if we take a step back, Su Ting and his group might still be able to contend with Five Dragons Mountain!
Why should they need to attach themselves to the Heavenly Derivation Sect?
Besides, with the foundation, cultivation resources, and cultivation environment of the Su Imperial Clan, it's not an exaggeration to say that the entire Immortal Realm might not even possess them.
The two secret realms of the Su Imperial Clan alone are enough to help all members of the Su Imperial Clan transform into prodigies comparable to geniuses in the Immortal Realm.
Moreover, it takes less time and is faster!
"Forehead..."
Hearing Su Chen's crisp and decisive response, Yan Yuxing slightly taken aback. She moved her lips a few times but then said nothing more.
Perhaps this group has an even more powerful background than they do?
At least within the Primordial Rock Peak Empire, there is no sect with more powerful ' Mortal Realm ascendants' than their Heavenly Derivation Sect.
But if it's outside the Primordial Rock Peak Empire, then that's another story.
Because the people of the Heavenly Derivation Sect rarely leave the Primordial Rock Peak Empire.
"In that case, I shall take my leave!" As she spoke, Yan Yuxing stood up. "If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, you are welcome to come to my Heavenly Derivation Sect. Our Heavenly Derivation Sect leader can rival the Five Dragons Mountain Lord."
Yan Yuxing added one last sentence.
It would be quite a pity if those two Human Immortal experts really died at the hands of Five Dragons Mountain.
After speaking, Yan Yuxing turned his head and looked at the five old Daoist priests.
These five people were clearly not with Su Chen and the others; they must have all ascended to this Reception Hall around the same time.
Yan Yuxing asked, "What about the five of you? Do you choose to go on your own, or come back to the Heavenly Derivation Sect with me?"
The old Daoist priest spoke first, "Reporting to your Excellency, I am willing to join the Heavenly Derivation Sect!"
I was slapped, and my face is still swollen.
If I go out on my own, I might get caught by someone else before I get far.
Judging from the descriptions given by Commander Yuan and others about the Heavenly Derivation Sect, this place was indeed the best choice for these ascendants in the early stages of their lives in the Immortal Realm.
"My lord, we are also willing to join the Heavenly Derivation Sect!"
Upon hearing this, the other four immediately nodded in agreement.
With two powerful Human Immortal experts protecting them, Su Ting and his group at least didn't have to worry like the others.
They naturally chose to join the Heavenly Derivation Sect.
"Alright!" Yan Yuxing nodded, but added a reminder: "Although my Heavenly Derivation Sect can protect you, after joining the sect, you will have to earn all the cultivation resources you need through the tasks issued by the sect. So... don't think that joining the Heavenly Derivation Sect means someone will take care of you!"
Providing shelter and refuge is already a great favor; naturally, we can't let these people eat for free.
Otherwise, would the sect leader have to earn all the cultivation resources for everyone in the Heavenly Derivation Sect?
That's rather naive. If that were true, the Heavenly Derivation Sect would have gone bankrupt long ago.
"Yes, sir!"
Upon hearing this, the old Daoist priest and the others nodded, not finding anything amiss.
This condition is normal. After all, even if they don't go to the Heavenly Derivation Sect, they still have to rely on themselves to obtain their cultivation resources.
Compared to that, sending them to mine veins is like being a slave to Five Dragons Mountain, where they might not even be able to afford basic necessities.
Not to mention continuing to improve one's cultivation level.
"Okay! Come with me!"
After speaking to the five old Daoist priests, Yan Yuxing took a step forward, preparing to leave with them.
