Chapter 678 - 685: Letting You Become an Inner Sect Disciple

A day passed, and Song Wanning was still sitting by the Ascension Pool.

She paid no mind to the curious, appraising gazes. When she had nothing to do, she would simply take out a book and read, leaving everyone mystified as to her intentions.

But soon, someone else captured everyone’s attention.

Someone new had arrived at the Ascension Pool!

"Huh, someone else is here!"

The surrounding crowd instantly perked up, their eyes fixed on the Ascension Pool, not even blinking.

In just a moment, the figure of a man appeared within it.

The man had a face overflowing with a wicked charm. The corners of his eyes tilted upward, and his crimson robes were half-open at the collar, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin.

The onlookers stared, their eyes wide. One look at the man’s aura told them he was not to be trifled with.

The man, however, merely shot them a faint glance before looking away, focusing on peacefully converting his physique in the Ascension Pool.

The people around exchanged glances, all thinking the same thing: this person’s talent had to be extraordinary!

This wait lasted for seven days.

The man finally flew out of the Ascension Pool, his wet hair trailing slowly across the ground...

Someone from the crowd immediately swarmed him.

"Fellow cultivator, we are from Wuji Immortal Mountain. Our Wuji Immortal Mountain holds an extraordinary status in the Immortal Realm..."

"Fellow cultivator, we’re from Penglai Island..."

"We’re from..."

A whole group of people crowded around him, all talking at once as they introduced their factions, each hoping to recruit this genius.

The man, however, was growing impatient, his annoyance written plainly across his face.

"Stop crowding me."

He was radiating a hostile air. He must have been a figure of immense power in the Lower World, and certain mannerisms and habits were ingrained in his very bones. Having just arrived in the Immortal Realm, he hadn’t yet adapted.

His angry shout instantly made the faces of those around him fall.

"Kid, this isn’t your Lower World anymore. I’d advise you not to be so arrogant!"

"That’s right! Don’t mistake our kindness for weakness!"

So what if he’s a genius?

If he can’t grow to his full potential, he’s just a fool.

They could easily take care of him right here and now!

Hearing this, the man’s anger flared even hotter. Without another word, he attacked them.

This made the few Immortals laugh in anger.

They no longer held back and charged directly at the man.

They thought it was a sure thing, but who would have known that a sudden fluctuation of Spiritual Power would come from behind them?

A figure suddenly appeared and, with a single palm strike, sent them all flying.

The Immortals all crashed to the ground, several of their bones shattered.

They turned their heads, expressions tense, only to see a woman descending from mid-air.

She had a Heavenly Immortal Cultivation level.

The Immortals’ expressions changed instantly, a flash of panic in their eyes.

But the Heavenly Immortal didn’t even spare them a glance, walking right up to the man’s side.

"Greetings, Old Ancestor!"

The man immediately bowed respectfully, all of his initial arrogance gone.

"Mm."

The woman gave a faint nod, her gaze sweeping over the man.

She had come here specifically to pick someone up today. Now that her task was complete, there was no need to linger.

She was about to leave with the man when, as she turned, she spotted Song Wanning off to the side, engrossed in a book.

The Heavenly Immortal paused. A flicker of interest flashed in her eyes, and she changed direction, walking toward Song Wanning.

Song Wanning, of course, noticed her approach and unhurriedly raised her head.

The Immortal Realm was also divided into different cultivation levels.

From lowest to highest, they were: Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, Golden Immortal, Daluo Golden Immortal, Quasi-Saint, and Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Mo Yang Immortal Venerable was a Daluo Golden Immortal, considered an extremely powerful figure in the entire Cultivation World.

The woman before her had a Heavenly Immortal Cultivation level, two major realms higher than Song Wanning, who was a Human Immortal.

Song Wanning wasn’t sure of the woman’s intentions, but she stood up politely all the same.

"What is your name?"

The Heavenly Immortal stared at Song Wanning’s face, a bewitching light flashing in her eyes for a fleeting moment.

"This junior is Song Wanning."

Song Wanning didn’t lie; after all, few people in the Immortal Realm knew her.

"That’s a lovely name."

The woman’s lips curled into a smile, her gaze sweeping back and forth over Song Wanning, filled with calculation.

Song Wanning’s brows furrowed. She felt an instinctive revulsion, and the look she gave the woman was no longer gentle.

"Come with me. I can get you a position as an Inner Sect Disciple in the Supreme Sect," the woman said, her tone full of certainty.

Song Wanning had been sitting by the Ascension Pool, completely ignored. It was obvious her talent was average and no faction wanted her.

’A person like her will come running for just a small taste of benefit.’

"Old Ancestor, this woman’s talent is poor. Just take her back to play with. Why waste the effort on anything more?" the man beside her suddenly spoke up, his eyes filled with disdain as he looked at Song Wanning.

His words were incredibly offensive, yet the Heavenly Immortal clearly saw nothing wrong with them.

She simply curved her lips, her voice full of temptation. "I just feel sorry for the little girl."

"If you’re willing to follow me, you’ll be able to walk sideways through the Immortal Realm in the future."

The Heavenly Immortal made the promise so casually. A cold glint flashed in Song Wanning’s eyes; she found it utterly ridiculous.

’A single Heavenly Immortal can protect her so she can walk sideways through the Immortal Realm? Where does she get this confidence?’

"Senior, a mere Heavenly Immortal such as yourself can allow me to walk sideways through the Immortal Realm?"

Unafraid of causing offense, Song Wanning looked directly into the Heavenly Immortal’s eyes. "Senior, you must be joking."

The mockery in her eyes was blatant. The faces of the Heavenly Immortal and the man instantly darkened.

"It is your good fortune that the Old Ancestor has taken a liking to you! Do you really think you’re something special?"

The man was the first to lash out, his powerful aura pressing down hard on Song Wanning.

However, Song Wanning didn’t even flinch, completely unaffected.

The man’s expression turned even uglier.

’Some idiot who ascended from who-knows-where dares to ignore me? How outrageous!’

Just as he was about to speak, the Heavenly Immortal stopped him.

"Old Ancestor..."

The man was clearly unconvinced, but the Heavenly Immortal’s expression had grown cold, her gaze toward Song Wanning turning sharp.

Then, she suddenly struck out at Song Wanning with her palm.

"Let me teach you the rules of the Immortal Realm."

The Heavenly Immortal’s expression was cold, but rage was ignited in her heart.

’Some thing that just ascended dares to challenge me? The audacity!’

Song Wanning’s expression tightened. Without a second thought, she instantly manifested a rune.

The Time Attribute rune flared with light and shot towards the Heavenly Immortal along with her longsword slash.

Meanwhile, she herself used a Space Rune to teleport a great distance away, instantly dodging the massive palm strike.

The Heavenly Immortal hadn’t expected Song Wanning to fight back. When she saw the rune, she froze for a split second.

Immediately after, she swatted at the rune in annoyance.

But the moment she made contact with the rune, something instantly went wrong with her body.

Although there was no visible change in her appearance, her bone age had genuinely increased by several decades in an instant!

The Heavenly Immortal was stunned. A moment later, a murderous aura began to spread out from her body.

She glared at Song Wanning as if looking at a dead person, feeling that she had suffered a monumental humiliation!

A magnificent Heavenly Immortal like herself had actually fallen for the trick of a mere Human Immortal!

If word of this got out, she’d be laughed to death!!!
