CHAPTER 851: CHAPTER 851: THE EIGHT GREAT HEAVENLY SECTS

Before long, Ling Wu entered.

Yun Shang used Heaven and Earth Power to probe Ling Wu, but did not discover anything special about her.

"Does the Void Emperor really think so highly of her?"

Yun Shang turned her head to look at Ling Chen.

"Yes."

Ling Chen nodded and said: "The Void Emperor once told me to take good care of Ling Wu."

He also hoped Yun Shang could discover something.

After a long while, Yun Shang sighed: "It seems my eyesight is still lacking!"

The Void Emperor certainly wouldn’t make aimless remarks.

He favors Ling Wu, so Ling Wu must have exceptional qualities.

It’s just that Yun Shang couldn’t perceive them.

"Ling Wu, you are ranked third on the Qing Province Heaven’s Pride rankings and have the qualifications to choose a sect to join. How about this, you join my sect like Ling Chen?"

Yun Shang affectionately held Ling Wu’s hand and said.

Ling Wu had never received such treatment before.

An Emperor Realm expert being so amiable left her stunned on the spot.

"Alright!"

Coming to her senses, Ling Wu nodded heavily.

Being able to join the same sect as Ling Chen was something Ling Wu gladly accepted.

"Hmm, it’s settled then."

Yun Shang said with a smile.

The Void Emperor’s judgment is naturally excellent.

Perhaps, in the future, it would benefit her sect.

"Alright, you shouldn’t be in any danger now, so I shall prepare to leave. In a while, someone will come to guide you into the Middle Continent."

Yun Shang didn’t linger.

"By the way, I know a bit about the Life-taking Secret Technique. Regarding Mu Qing’s situation, unless an Emperor acts, he basically has to rely on himself. Tell Mu Qing that unless he breaks through to the Emperor Realm, Mu Qing will inevitably die."

Yun Shang said.

An Emperor Realm expert resisting the Emperor Secret Technique is not a problem.

However, the Life-taking Secret Technique has already taken effect.

Wanting to recover is not something an ordinary Emperor Realm expert can achieve.

"Hmm, I understand, thank you, Sister Yun Shang!"

Ling Chen said.

Soon, Yun Shang stepped into the void and left Qing Province.

The danger was resolved.

A month later.

Mu Qing finally came out of seclusion.

Guided by Jiang Domain Master, Ling Chen met Mu Qing once again.

"Lord Governor, I apologize for Young Master Mu’s plight. I have consulted Middle Continent’s Emperor Realm experts, and she said that unless the Great Emperor acts personally, Young Master Mu must rely on himself. In the remaining time, if he ascends to the Emperor Realm, he will be unharmed, otherwise..."

Ling Chen said.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qing glanced at Ling Chen.

Ling Chen’s words seemed flat, but were full of implications.

Being able to connect with Middle Continent Emperors, it is enough to prove that Ling Chen has protection from Middle Continent experts.

Given this, Ling Chen is not someone a mere Lord Governor like him can bully.

"Young Master Ling, you are considerate."

Mu Qing said: "Don’t worry, this matter has little to do with you. You had already warned before; it’s Mu Jiu Zhou’s insistence on testing your attack that led to this."

"Jiang Domain Master, gather the talents on the Heaven’s Pride rankings; it is time to distribute the rewards."

Mu Qing looked at Jiang Bufan.

"They are right outside the mansion."

Jiang Bufan smiled and said.

Mu Qing summoning him likely had to do with the Heaven’s Pride rankings.

So, he had already prepared.

Bringing Ling Chen inside was because Ling Chen said he had important matters to report.

Furthermore, Ling Chen is now a Quasi-Emperor.

Even he dared not defy him.

"Let them come in."

Mu Qing nodded.

Soon, ninety-nine names from the Heaven’s Pride rankings entered.

Mu Qing awarded them tokens.

Representing their qualification to enter the Middle Continent.

Without tokens, nor being an Emperor Realm expert, and without protection from an Emperor Realm expert, they might be treated as illegal immigrants, leading to enslavement.

What remained were the rewards for the top ten of the Heaven’s Pride rankings.

The rewards are super-grade Spirit Crystals and supreme-grade Spirit Crystals.

These items are essential in the Middle Continent.

After this, Mu Qing dispersed the crowd.

Three months later, the Middle Continent would send people to guide the Heaven’s Pride talents.

Ling Chen and others selected from each province are actually providing talent for the major sects of the Middle Continent.

In the time that followed, Ling Chen was much more relaxed.

His cultivation also made significant progress.

As he grasped a trace of Heaven and Earth Power, his cultivation speed increased noticeably.

In three months, his Spiritual Power Cultivation rose to the ninth peak of the World Realm.

The Divine Soul was also cultivated to the peak of the Emperor Realm.

On this day.

A colossal object appeared above the State Governor Mansion.

It was a Void Sky Flying Boat.

It can traverse the void in flight.

Middle Continent’s Guiding Envoy had arrived.

"Greetings, Heavenly Sect Envoy!"

Mu Qing led Qing Province’s elite to welcome.

"Hmm."

The Heavenly Sect Envoy nodded slightly.

His demeanor was quite arrogant.

He scanned the crowd and found not a single Emperor Realm expert.

His eyes flashed with a hint of disdain.

It’s worth mentioning they came, eight in number, all of them Emperor Realm experts.

The welcoming banquet commenced.

The various Heaven’s Pride talents were nearly all present.

Except for Mu Jiu Zhou, who was in seclusion.

Quickly, Ling Chen learned that these Heavenly Sect envoys came from Middle Continent’s Eight Heavenly Sects.

The leader, named Su Ye.

Belonged to the Taixuan Immortal Sect.

The only sect among the Eight Heavenly Sects that primarily cultivates Divine Soul Telekinesis.

The other seven were from the remaining Seven Heavenly Sects.

One sect per envoy.

This prevents one province’s talents from being monopolized by a single sect.

"Emperor Ye, fellow Emperors, thank you for coming from afar!"

Mu Qing and others rose and toasted Su Ye and the eight Emperors.

Mu Qing, Ling Chen, Jiang Xiaoman, and Ling Wu were seated at the main table with the eight envoys.

After all, their main purpose is Qing Province’s Heaven’s Pride talents.

Furthermore, the top three of the Heaven’s Pride rankings are especially important.

Indeed, being able to emerge as the top in one province means they possess talent and fortune.

Additionally, the top three have the right to choose a sect.

Of course, this choice is mutual.

Sects also have the right to accept or reject certain talents.

However, sects generally do not refuse.

During their conversation, Ling Chen came to know the Eight Heavenly Sects.

They are the Taixuan Immortal Sect, Sky Sword Pavilion, Five Elements Immortal Sect, Desolate Heaven Sect, Qiankun Academy, Flower Immortal Sect, Nine Cauldron Heavenly Sect, and Ten Thousand Destruction Heavenly Pavilion.

Each of these Eight Heavenly Sects has Great Emperor Realm experts overseeing them.

They are the most powerful sects in the Middle Continent.

"Young Master Ling, have you achieved the Quasi-Emperor realm through the Divine Soul path?"

Su Ye looked at Ling Chen.

Among the three talents, only Ling Chen’s Divine Soul had Heaven and Earth Power swirling around it.

Naturally, it was a Divine Soul-accomplished Quasi-Emperor.

"Yes, Emperor Ye!"

Ling Chen replied respectfully.

"It so happens, I am from Taixuan Immortal Sect, which is a sect that specializes in the Divine Soul path. Young Master Ling, are you interested in joining?"

Su Ye asked with a smile.

"Emperor Ye, now that’s excessive. Your Taixuan Immortal Sect excels in Divine Soul, but other sects also have experts proficient in the Divine Soul path. Moreover, at the Emperor Realm, the difference between Divine Soul and Spiritual Power is not substantial."

A woman in red chuckled.

"Indeed, Emperor Ye, you are too forward. It has been agreed that talents can’t be forced to make decisions; your approach is inappropriate."

A green-robed man laughed.

Su Ye smiled: "I’m just making a suggestion, why are you so nervous?"

As he spoke, he looked at Ling Chen and said with a smile: "You don’t have to rush your decision; there’s plenty of time to consider. I think that our Taixuan Immortal Sect is most suitable for you!"
