Chapter 361 : Meeting Sect Leader

He exhaled a long sigh and stood up. "I will make my decision when I head there. I think there are still three weeks before the competition starts. I can improve further in this time."

[Eh? Are you going to head back inside Dual Cultivation Chambers to train?]

Her voice was filled with frustration.

"Haha, no no, calm down. I'm heading out to check up on Ling'er. Let's see how she is doing. I heard she was practicing in the Sect Master Hall."

[That's the best place in this sect available for disciples, and due to her bloodline, the sect is also nurturing her with all their care.]

Shen Yuan pushed open the gate before stepping out. The calm surroundings greeted him. The mountain peak was filled with greenery without any sign of a human being.

"I know, and that's a good thing. This will give her enough power to face her clan and solve whatever problem she has herself." He made his way toward the spatial portal.

[But will you let her deal with it alone?]

His lips curled up. "Haha, of course not. How can I let my dear Ling'er face something dangerous like that all on her own?"

Yue Lan exhaled a sigh.

[Figures, huh. Well, let's see how she is doing for now.]

He nodded his head and went towards the spatial portal. After he passed through the first spatial portal, he emerged on another mountain peak wreathed in wisps of cloud.

The sect's network of portals was extensive; each portal opened to a different region of the vast sect grounds—some soared high above the clouds, others wound through hidden valleys.

He hopped from one portal to the next, and in each portal, the disciples bowed towards him with respect.

Finally, after a half-dozen rapid jumps, he exited from the last spatial portal. In the distance, he could see the outline of the majestic Sect Leader Hall.

He slowly moved forward, and soon the towering jade doors engraved with Blazing Lotus came in front of him.

A pair of disciples on duty recognized him instantly, bowing as they hurried to push the doors open. "Senior Brother Shen," one bowed respectfully before stepping aside to let him enter. Discover exclusive tales at empire

Shen Yuan's lips curled into a small smile. "Who will know her well enough if I don't?."

Mei Hua stood up and slowly approached him. "Now, should I send you to her, or would you like to keep me company for a bit longer?"

Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow. "I'm not in a hurry to meet her, so what do you want to talk about?"

Mei Hua's expression turned serious. "Do you know about the Aurora Competition?"

'Who doesn't know about that?' he thought to himself.

"Yes, I have heard about it," he respectfully said.

Mei Hua nodded her head. "Yes, so what I want to ask is, do you know how many sects will participate in it?"

Shen Yuan's expression turned curious. He shook his head and asked, "No, but I heard there will be multiple Divine Level Sects gathered there."

"Yes, there will be 5 Divine Level Sects and a lot more lesser sects gathered there," she slowly said.

"Hmm, so what do you want from me?" he asked.

Mei Hua's eyes flashed with hesitation. "Say, what do you think are the chances of us winning in this competition?"

"How many times have we won?" he raised an eyebrow and asked.

Mei Hua's face turned a little red as she embarrassedly said, "...One. We won once in the last ten thousand years."

"..." Shen Yuan wordlessly looked at her.

Her face became increasingly red as she felt Shen Yuan staring at her face. "Cough, it's not our fault that our cultivation arts are made like this."

Shen Yuan exhaled a sigh. "Haa... then how did we win that one battle?"

Mei Hua's gaze shifted from Shen Yuan to the surface of the lake, as though gazing into distant memories. After a moment, she let out a soft sigh and turned back to him.

"A thousand years ago," she began, "a small girl was brought to our sect by an old man. She was barely older than five, and yet her dantian overflowed with a profound Radiant energy—so dense it seemed to be the very origin of Radiant Qi. At the time, none of us truly understood how significant it was, only that it was astonishing."
