However, what surprised Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan was that Haoran
Sect’s Zhou Pingchuan invited Jiang Chengxuan but not Shen Ruyan, and Thunderclap Valley wanted to invite Shen Ruyan but not Jiang Chengxuan.
This made the two of them wonder if these two sects had already discussed this beforehand.
They clearly knew that the two of them were husband and wife, Dao companions, but they still invited them separately.
It was a move that left Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan somewhat speechless.
As if sensing their thoughts, Zhou Pingchuan chuckled and said,
“Do you think our actions were deliberate?”
Before Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan could respond, Zhou Pingchuan continued,
“To be honest, the Haoran Sect invited Fellow Daoist Jiang because we believe joining our sect would be more beneficial for both you and our sect.
Similarly.
Thunderclap Valley invited your Dao companion Fellow Daoist Shen but not you because you are not suited for their sect.
In contrast, your Dao companion Shen Ruyan is a perfect candidate for
Thunderclap Valley.
Joining Thunderclap Valley would be advantageous for her future cultivation and for Thunderclap Valley itself.
Do you understand what I’m saying?”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan exchanged glances.
Indeed.
Based on their prior knowledge of the sects, Thunderclap Valley indeed seemed like the most suitable sect for Shen Ruyan.
There was no other.
It’s said that from disciples to Dao Integration Holy Lords in the sect, everyone focused on lightning-related techniques, and every disciple had a lightning body.
Shen Ruyan’s Five Lightning Dao Body was a rarity that came once in ten thousand years.
If she were to join Thunderclap Valley, she would be nurtured as a Holy
Daughter right from the start, which was something other sects could not offer.
However, why did Haoran Sect think that Jiang Chengxuan would be most suited for them, believing joining them would be the most beneficial for both parties?
Shouldn’t the Five Elements Heavenly Sect be the best match for him?
As if seeing through the doubts in Jiang Chengxuan’s heart, Liu Ziyue, who was beside Zhou Pingchuan, could not help but smile.
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, are you thinking that a sect like the Five Elements Heavenly Sect would be the most suitable for you?
This time, Liu Ziyue didn’t wait for Jiang Chengxuan’s reply and continued with a smile.
“If we’re not mistaken, representatives from the Five Elements Heavenly Sect should have already visited you, right?
How do you feel about the people from the Five Elements Heavenly Sect?” Jiang Chengxuan was taken aback by Liu Ziyue’s sudden question, causing him to frown slightly.
Indeed, the representatives from the Five Elements Heavenly Sect had not left a good impression on him and Shen Ruyan.
However, if Liu Ziyue and Zhou Pingchuan thought that this alone would make them dismiss the idea of joining the Five Elements Heavenly Sect, they were mistaken.
After all, deciding on a sect to join involved considering many factors, not just first impressions.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were not novices in the path of cultivation. They would not consider matters lightly.
However, Liu Ziyue said again,
“There are some things you might not be aware of since you’ve just arrived in our Celestial Floodgate Realm.
But with a bit more time here, I believe you’ll come to understand a lot more.
Take the Five Elements Heavenly Sect, for example.
Sure enough.
Their sect’s foundation is indeed very strong, and many newly promoted overlord sects can’t compare to them in this regard, and their connection to the Immortal Realm is also considered close.
But their current practices, I think, might not be acceptable to someone like
you, Fellow Daoist Jiang.”
At this point, Liu Ziyue paused for a moment before continuing.
“As we know, 320 years ago, a Void Returning elder from the Five Elements Heaven Sect, Liang Tianqiao, fancied a Soul Formation female cultivator as perfectly suitable to be his dual cultivation partner.
Therefore, he then forcibly abducted her.
Afterward, because the female cultivator did not fully cooperate with his dual cultivation, Liang Tianqiao, in a fit of rage, killed her and her entire family.
Two hundred and forty-seven years ago, Yi Feiyang, the great-grandson of Yi Daoxing, a Void Returning elder of the Five Elements Heavenly Sect, had someone ambushed and killed because that person fought with him over an item at an auction.
In the end, he killed that person and all his relatives and friends.
When the cultivators from the victim’s sect sought an explanation from the Five Elements Heavenly Sect, they were all chased out by Yi Feiyang’s greatgrandfather.
Two months later, that sect mysteriously disappeared from the world.
The official statement claimed that the sect was attacked by foreign cultivators, but those in the know understood what really happened.
At this point, Liu Ziyue looked at Jiang Chengxuan’s slightly changed expression and could not help but continue.
“114 years ago.
The supreme elder of the Five Elements Heavenly Sect, a Dao Integration cultivator named Daoist Shenxiao, collaborated with demons and protoss to confront our human Dao Integration Holy Lord over a chance discovery in a secret realm.
This nearly led to the demise of a Dao Integration Holy Lord from the Sun family.
When people sought justice from the Five Elements Heavenly Sect afterward, Daoist Shenxiao outright denied it and even took out their sect’s ultimate treasure, the Five Elements Wheel Mirror, to threaten them.
If it weren’t for the quick reactions of those Dao Integration seniors, a significant loss might have occurred.
And these are just the incidents that are publicly known.
Who knows how many more there are that we don’t know about?
“The Five Elements Heavenly Sect has done so many evil deeds. Is there really no senior or overlord force that has tried to punish the Five Elements Heavenly Sect for their actions?”
Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but ask.
Hearing her question, Liu Ziyue and Zhou Pingchuan both shook their heads.
Zhou Pingchuan spoke, “It’s futile.
Here in the Spiritual Realm, the competition among cultivators, races, and different realms far exceeds your imagination.
No one will specifically anger the Five Elements Heavenly Sect for the sake of the weak.
Even my Haoran Sect and a super ancient sect like Thunderclap Valley are helpless.
All we can do is to adhere to our own principles and do what we can and should do within our capabilities.”
At this point, Zhou Pingchuan suddenly looked at Jiang Chengxuan with a firm gaze, saying confidently,
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, I can see that you and us are of the same kind.
Although we don’t know much about you, we believe that our sect s elders wouldn’t make a mistake, nor could they misjudge a person.
We also believe that if you were to join our Haoran Sect, we would certainly provide you with better cultivation resources and support, far exceeding what the Five Elements Heavenly Sect could offer.
This is also why our Haoran Sect values you so much and extends a sincere invitation to you.”
