Chapter 12 Linglongtian
Lin Feiyan gave Xu Yan a deep look.
She didn't really believe Xu Yan's excuse.
Because, in her nineteen years of life, she had never seen anyone who could resist the temptations of the immortal sect.
Let alone Xu Yan, an ordinary person, even the princes of the Great Yan Dynasty would eagerly agree to her promise.
She guessed that, besides Xu Yan's distrust of her, it might also be related to the extraordinary encounter Xu Yan had during this predicament.
Perhaps he felt that the opportunities he gained were greater than the benefits of entering the Immortal Ascension Sect?
How is that possible?
The meager legacy left by independent cultivators is nothing compared to the lofty and supreme Immortal Sect; it's simply insignificant!
Once he cultivates to the eighth level of physical body, he will know how difficult it is to advance to the next level.
At that moment, he realized how great an opportunity he had missed!
You only get one chance; if you miss it, it means you weren't meant to be.
As an inner disciple of the Feathered Ascension Sect and a top contender for the next Mountain and River Ranking, Lin Feiyan wields considerable power within the sect and possesses her own pride.
Even though she had some affection for Xu Yan because of her elder brother's situation, she still felt a certain fondness for him.
However, they will not try to recruit him again after Xu Yan has refused.
Her experiences over the years have taught her that among the billions of living beings in this world, those with exceptional talents are as numerous as carp crossing a river.
Those who truly achieve great things are mostly blessed with great fortune and have amazing encounters.
Or perhaps you'll be appreciated by someone in a higher position, seize the opportunity, and soar to great heights.
Otherwise, most people will eventually become just another face in the crowd!
Cultivators below the level of supernatural powers are unlikely to possess storage treasures like the Hundred Treasure Pouch.
The same applies to Lin Feiyan.
Therefore, she naturally didn't carry any secret manuals with her.
She promised to return to Yuan'an City, write out the secret manual, and then secretly deliver it to her cousin Xu Yan.
Once things have calmed down, Xu Yan can go home and get the manual.
Clearly, she guessed from Xu Yan's hiding place that he wouldn't be showing up anytime soon.
Moreover, she promised Xu Yan that she would secretly take care of Xu Yan's aunt's family.
Xu Yan naturally had no objections and expressed his gratitude.
These scions from prestigious families are indeed quite capable.
Taking care of an ordinary family is just a matter of a word from someone in a position of power.
Sometimes, these small details can win the hearts and loyalty of those in positions of authority.
He originally intended to pass on the three great skills of the outer sect of the Feathered Ascension Sect to his cousin.
Now that Lin Feiyan is involved, everything makes sense.
"Since Miss Lin is an inner disciple of the Feathered Ascension Sect, would you be so kind as to share some information about the sect with me?"
Seeing that Lin Feiyan was about to leave, Xu Yan said, "Although I have no intention of joining the immortal sect for the time being, I am still somewhat curious about it."
"Of course, if Miss Lin has any concerns, then let's leave it at that."
"What do you want to know?" Lin Feiyan asked.
"I've heard that the true disciples of the Feathered Ascension Sect are all incredibly powerful and possess boundless magical abilities, traversing the entire universe. I wonder who their leaders are?"
Xu Yan wanted to deduce the current timeline by using information about the true disciples of the Feathered Ascension Sect.
During Fang Han's time, the five disciples known as "Zhong Tiandu, Dong Lingxiao, Xi Jialan, Nan Wanluo, and Bei Yaoguang" were the most powerful among the true disciples.
These five individuals have all cultivated for hundreds of years. Knowing any one of them can roughly confirm certain timelines.
"A top disciple among the true inheritors?"
Speaking of this, Lin Feiyan's eyes flashed with envy, "My Feathered Ascension Sect's true disciples are basically maintained at one hundred and eight."
"If one advances to the Longevity Realm and becomes an eternal giant, one will be directly promoted to Vice Sect Leader."
"Those who have not yet advanced to the Longevity Realm and are older will also be appointed as one of the many elders of the Feathered Heaven Palace, relinquishing their position as true disciples and wielding real power."
"Among the true disciples, there have always been five outstanding individuals, named after the four cardinal directions (east, west, south, north, and center). 'Zhong Baiyu' is the leader of our generation of true disciples..."
"Feng Baiyu?"
"It seems Senior Brother Feng's reputation is indeed widespread; even you've heard of him!"
Lin Feiyan said with a proud look, "Senior Brother Feng not only has amazing cultivation, but he is also ranked second on the 'Longevity Candidate List'. Who knows when he will be able to advance to the Longevity Secret Realm and become an ancient giant."
Xu Yanren is numb.
He had always thought that the current era was not far from the time when Fang Han, as a stable boy in the Fang family of Longyuan Province of the Great Li Dynasty, would begin his cultivation journey.
Unexpectedly, he directly led the team to Feng Baiyu's era.
Those who survived in this era seem to be the pillars of their respective sects in the future.
"He's truly impressive. Perhaps once he becomes an eternal giant, he'll be a candidate for the next sect leader!"
Xu Yan sighed and then asked:
"Who else is on this list among the ten sects of immortal cultivation?"
"What 'Ten Gates of Immortal Cultivation'? Isn't it 'Nine Gates of Immortal Cultivation'?"
Lin Feiyan looked puzzled, shook her head, and sighed:
"That's how you rogue cultivators are; nobody teaches you even the basics of cultivation. You'll make a fool of yourselves if you go out like this!"
Damn, this is discrimination!
However, in the eyes of these immortal sect disciples, rogue cultivators and cultivators from small sects are indeed low-class.
Amidst Lin Feiyan's discrimination, Xu Yan quickly realized where the problem lay.
Sure enough, Lin Feiyan said to herself:
"This list of candidates for immortality is a secret list set up by the Six Paths Alliance, a commercial organization. It is generally unknown to the public."
"I also got the information from a senior female disciple who was a true disciple of the master."
"This list is compiled every three years, summarizing the potential of various powerful and mysterious beings in the entire Xuanhuang Great World, including immortals, demons, monsters, and rogue cultivators."
"Most of those on the list are experts at the ninth or tenth level of supernatural powers. Of course, at the bottom of the list, there are also some exceptionally talented Golden Core experts."
"Currently ranked first on the candidate list is Qiu Hunyi of the Taiyi Sect. He is a disciple of Huang Tiandao, the leader of the Taiyi Sect."
"However, Qiu Hunyi has an even more powerful junior sister. She was previously ranked first on the Longevity Candidate List and entered the Longevity Realm at a very early stage."
"Now we should call her 'Linglongtian'."
Lin Feiyan also briefly explained the naming system for the true disciples of the Taiyi Sect.
Xu Yan knew this.
According to the rules of the Taiyi Sect, true disciples who cultivate to the seventh level of the Golden Core realm of supernatural powers will change the character "一" (one) after their name to signify their absolute authority.
True disciples who cultivate to the "Longevity Secret Realm" can remove the character "一" and replace it with "天" (heaven), and at the same time be promoted to "Deputy Sect Leader".
This kind of name change is a privilege reserved only for true disciples.
Other non-true disciples, even if they cultivate to the second level of the Immortal Realm, cannot change their own names.
As for the Supreme Elders who have cultivated to the third level of the Longevity Cave Heaven Realm or above, they are all addressed with the character "太" (Tai).
The Huangtian Daoist mentioned by Lin Feiyan is undoubtedly the later Supreme Elder Taihuangtian.
"Chou Hunyi" is undoubtedly Qiu Huntian, the leader of the Taiyi Sect during Fang Han's time, also known as Huntian Daoren.
Both Hun Tian Dao Ren and Ling Long Xian Zun are disciples of Tai Huang Tian.
As for why there are only nine immortal sects now, it is obviously because at this time, Linglong Heaven, which later became Linglong Immortal Venerable, had not yet rebelled against Taiyi Sect and created Linglong Blessed Land.
During Fang Han's reign, on the occasion of the four-thousand-year birthday of the Linglong Immortal Venerable, he was the number one expert in the Xuanhuang Great World and the overlord of the tenth level of the Longevity True Immortal Realm.
Clearly, the era in which Xu Yan lived was more than three thousand years before Fang Han was born.
"Since that's the case, then I'll challenge these 'former overlords' in this era!"
PS: The number one female protagonist in this book, "Eternal Life," is the Immortal Venerable Linglong.
I've read quite a few fanfics or tales set in the world of Fang Han during his time in the mortal realm. Because he only spent a little over ten years in the mortal realm before the Xuanhuang Great World collapsed, and Fang Han secretly crossed over to the celestial realm, there was nothing left to write about in the mortal realm. Most of these books were abandoned halfway through.
So the idea behind this book is to write about some of the stories of giants in the immortal, demonic, and monster paths of Feng Baiyu's generation.
In this way, the other world instances will also have enough time to develop over three thousand years.
Finally, please continue reading!
