The Third Possibility

With the blessing of the "Wind Riding Technique," more than a hundred disciples followed Liu Yunan and quickly arrived at the floating island teleportation point next to the secret garden.

They looked at Elder Liu, who was standing at the front, puzzled, wondering why he had brought them here again.

Weren't we supposed to continue visiting the sect? But... we already visited this place yesterday.

Elder Liu must have forgotten? That can't be...

Just as everyone was lost in thought, Liu Yunan turned to them and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, next we will visit the places we didn't get to see yesterday."

"However, before that, there's something I feel I need to clarify with you in advance."

"Our Lingxian Sect is a cultivation sect! From the moment you passed the Heart-Questioning Road, from the moment you pledged to join the Lingxian Sect for cultivation, you will embark on a completely different life!"

"Therefore! You must change your perspective from that of ordinary people! Adapt to all things extraordinary as soon as possible!"

Actually Liu Yunan wanted to tell them directly, "Calm down! Dayi resilient! Don't get excited no matter what you see!", but he still had to maintain some semblance of composure.

Having served as an elder for over three years and handled so many affairs within the sect, he had long since mastered the ways of the world.

The newlyweds didn't understand what he meant, and just nodded blankly to indicate that they understood.

Seeing Elder Liu's serious and deliberate words, everyone silently reminded themselves to quickly change their mortal perspective and become familiar with the identity of cultivators; to quickly change their mortal perspective and become familiar with the identity of cultivators...

Then, they saw Liu Yunan turn around and walk towards the semi-transparent stone platform in front of him.

At the same time, his voice reached everyone's ears from the front.

"This is the entrance to our sect's floating island. You will all stand on it in groups of ten in a moment."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he shot vertically into the air and vanished in the blink of an eye.

The newlyweds' eyes widened in surprise!

I don't know why Elder Liu took off so suddenly, and then disappeared just as suddenly.

However, some people remembered what Elder Liu had said earlier and realized that the translucent stone platform must be the entrance to the place they were going to next.

Everyone quickly came to their senses and, as Liu Yunan had just instructed, divided into groups of ten to prepare to step onto the stone platform.

It's worth mentioning that the stone platform initially had a maximum capacity of five people for teleportation.

However, because Spirit-Rich Mountain on the floating island can generate Spiritual Qi, and Lin Xiao and the others have not exceeded their consumption limits, the concentration of Spiritual Qi on Yaoguang Floating Island continues to rise.

The floating island's level has also been upgraded to level two.

After the floating island is upgraded to level two, the area of the entire floating island increases by one-tenth.

Furthermore, the maximum number of people allowed at the floating island teleportation station has been increased from five to ten.

The 132 newcomers were divided into 14 groups.

The first twelve groups each consisted of ten people.

In the end, twelve people remained, but they did not split into groups of ten or two.

Instead, the number of people was evenly distributed, and they were divided into groups of six.

It wasn't that anyone specifically suggested it; the final twelve people just did it naturally.

As everyone suppressed their excitement, preparing to experience the unprecedented sensation of rapid ascent through the air, they found that as soon as they stepped onto the stone platform, a flash of white light appeared before their eyes, and they were in a completely different place.

New disciples:... What happened to the promised rapid takeoff?

Unbeknownst to them, the rising figure of Liu Yunan they had just witnessed was merely a special effect of the floating island teleportation platform.

Lin Xiao had turned this option on when he was idly researching the floating island control panel, and it seemed interesting, so he kept it on without turning it off.

However, this small matter became unimportant the moment the new disciples took in their surroundings.

Look what they saw...

The new disciples stared in disbelief at their surroundings.

It was immediately obvious that they were on a small island.

However, there was no water flowing around.

Only wispy clouds lingered around the island, and beyond the clouds, besides the sky, there was only the rising sun.

Even highly skilled and knowledgeable cultivators like Yuan Jinsheng and Liang Zhonghuai could not hide their astonishment.

Where... where am I?!

Yuan Jinsheng and Liang Zhonghuai were the first to react, turning around and walking towards the edge of the island.

When they looked down and saw the various sect buildings and houses of Xiushui Village that were now barely visible as dots, they had no choice but to believe that they were indeed standing on an island floating in the air!

Yuan Jinsheng had lived in the Mortal Realm for over two hundred years, and he had never even heard of any sect possessing such a territory, let alone seen it!

Moreover, the Spiritual Qi on this floating island was far richer than that of all the sects he had ever visited!

He dared to guarantee that no sect in the Mortal Realm possessed such resources! No place with such a rich concentration of Spiritual Qi!

Not to mention Yuan Jinsheng, even Liang Zhonghuai, a low-level worker at the Immortal Cultivation Realm Myriad Connections, had never seen it before!

He'd only ever heard of it.

I've heard that some major sects have it.

For example, the Talisman Sect.

It is said that only the Talisman Sect has a floating island in the entire North-South Territory, and there is only one.

This was something a colleague who came to the Southern Spirit Domain to work told them, about his experience going to the Talisman Sect on business.

However, even that colleague was unable to reach the floating island of the Talisman Sect. He only saw it by chance when he looked up at the sky while looking around inside the main gate of the Talisman Sect.

Just what is the origin of this Lingxian Sect?!

How could a mere sect in the Mortal Realm possess a floating island, something only a major sect like the Talisman Sect could have?

Liang Zhonghuai, who always avoids any potential danger, suddenly wonders if he has stepped into a dangerous place backed by some super big shot.

Regardless of whether this sect is a fledgling with wealth or has a powerful backer.

In Liang Zhonghuai's view, both are extremely dangerous entities.

The former is easily seized by the strong, while the latter is easily used as cannon fodder.

but.

He glanced at Auntie Yang beside him.

Perhaps because she had personally confirmed that her daughter was safe, the worry that had lingered between Auntie Yang's brows for years had long since disappeared.

Liang Zhonghuai thought to himself: Actually, there is a third possibility.

Or perhaps, this is a tranquil paradise, a secluded haven capable of calming all the world's troubles. Who knows?

He lowered his eyes slightly and touched the identity token that had been hanging on his waist that morning.

Long, slender fingers gently traced the five characters 'Disciple of the Lingxian Sect Sect' engraved on the surface.

If you probe it with your Divine Sense, you can see his name appear inside.

He recalled his dream during his Heart-Questioning Road, and the power that soothed his panicked heart at the last moment.

He couldn't help but smile faintly to himself.

So be it. A sect that uses such a rigorous Heart-Questioning Road to select its disciples—even if the road ahead is long, what harm is there in Liang Zhonghuai accompanying him on this journey?
