Chapter 52: Introduction to Sacred Arts

It turns out that the annual martial arts competition of the Yongming Dynasty was also held to select talents for Xuantian Biezong.

There was only one major sect in the Yongming Dynasty, and that was Xuantian Biezong.

Xuantian Biezong was the only one in power and controlled a large amount of resources. Other martial arts sects were all subordinate to it, and it could choose the outstanding disciples it cultivated.

Xuantian Biezong's seizure of talents from other martial arts sects seemed to be rampant and overbearing, but in fact it was supported by major martial arts sects for two reasons.

First, Xuantian Biezong was just a branch of Xuantian Dao Sect, with a more promising future, which met the development needs of martial arts geniuses.

The territories of the major martial arts sects were limited to the Yongming Dynasty, with limited prospects, which would stifle the martial arts career of some geniuses.

Therefore, the major martial arts sects were very willing to send their own genius disciples to Xuantian Biezong.

Second, Xuantian Biezong was very strict in selecting disciples. Once a genius from a martial arts sect was selected, a huge amount of resources would be given to that martial arts sect in return.

Those resources include elixirs, combat soldiers, beast elixirs, natural treasures, and even spirit stones, which are all very scarce resources for all the major martial arts sects.

Every year, the major martial arts sects attach great importance to the martial arts sect competition in the capital, and hope that their genius will be selected to gain both fame and fortune!

After listening to Miao Yan's explanation, Lu Chen finally understood what it meant to add resources to Feixia Sect.

"How many disciples of Feixia Sect were selected?"

Lu Chen asked.

"There are ninety-nine states in the Yongming Dynasty, and each state has several martial arts sects, a total of hundreds of martial arts sects, and geniuses are emerging in large numbers. How can it be so easy to be selected."

Miao Yan's expression was gloomy, and he sighed, "Since I took charge of Feixia Sect, no disciples of our sect have been selected, resulting in insufficient resources and the decline of the sect."

"What about the other two martial arts sects?"

Lu Chen asked again.

"In the past ten years, two disciples from Ziyun Sect were selected, and one from Suisha Sect."

"Is this the reason why Ziyun Sect is so powerful in Dengzhou?"

"Yes, the resources that Ziyun Sect has obtained from Xuantian Sect are so many that it is unimaginable. It would be unfair if it is not powerful."

Miao Yan suddenly looked at Lu Chen, with some apology in her beautiful eyes, "So, the arrival of you and Wan'er will be an opportunity for Feixia Sect to rise. I hope you don't blame me for being mercenary. I am just doing this for Feixia Sect."

At this moment, Lu Chen finally understood why Miao Yan looked at him differently and always made an exception for him. The reason for excluding Wan'er was mainly his own problem, because he was the candidate designated by Zhu Feichen!

Once he entered Xuantian Sect, Feixia Sect would obtain a large amount of resources and could cultivate more martial arts geniuses.

Lu Chen would naturally not blame it. Wumen was helpless in order to develop and survive.

What's more, since he chose Feixia Sect, he certainly hoped that Feixia Sect would be better in the future, not worse.

"I, Lu Chen, am willing to contribute to Feixiamen."

Lu Chen's face straightened, and he asked, "When will Wan'er go to Shenmu Palace?"

"I have sent an elder to Shenmu Palace as soon as possible, and it is estimated to take half a year."

"So far?"

Lu Chen was surprised. He grew up in Shuangmu City. The farthest place he went out was Dengzhou City. He had never been to the capital and knew nothing about the outside world.

"The world outside the secular world is very big, so big that you can't imagine it."

Miao Yan said, "As long as the palace master receives my message, he will come immediately. The palace master is very fast. Maybe he will appear in the Yongming Dynasty in an incense stick of time."

"It takes half a year for the elder, and the palace master only takes an incense stick of time. Is this palace master a god?"

Lu Chen was stunned and couldn't imagine that such a long distance would take many days even if he flew in the air?

"The Palace Master is not a god, but her cultivation is so high that we can't imagine it."

"Is her cultivation so high?"

"So, if you want to reach that level, you have to work hard. Maybe in the future, you can also fly in the vast world."

Miao Yan's words made Lu Chen feel a fighting spirit in vain, full of yearning for the outside world.

I must break out of the secular world and fly at the peak of martial arts!

"It's not easy to get started with the sacred art of the sacred wood. I originally wanted Wan'er to retreat in Luoxia Peak until the Palace Master of the sacred wood palace arrived."

Miao Yan glanced at the sacred water pill in Lu Chen's hand, and said, "Since you brought the top-grade sacred water pill, there will be no problem for Wan'er to get started. She won't have to retreat in the future, and you master and servant can meet often."

After that, Miao Yan stretched out her hand and tapped Wan'er's body.

Soon, Wan'er woke up from her meditation.

"Young Master?"

Wan'er opened her beautiful eyes and saw Lu Chen for the first time. She jumped up happily and bowed to Lu Chen. "Wan'er didn't know that the young master was here. I hope the young master can forgive me."

"Wan'er, eat it."

Lu Chen nodded and stuffed the Shenshui Pill directly into Wan'er's hand.

Although Wan'er didn't know what the pill was, she still swallowed the pill without saying a word.

"Why don't you ask what the pill is?"

Seeing Wan'er eat the pill without hesitation, Miao Yan couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Young Master asked me to eat it, so I eat it without asking."

"What if it's a poisonous pill?"

"Then Wan'er has to eat it too."

"Silly girl!"

Miao Yan sighed, and then explained to Wan'er, "What Lu Chen gave you is a top-grade Shenshui Pill, an extremely precious pill that contains spiritual water, which has a great auxiliary effect on the wood-based martial veins. Especially for the spiritual tree martial veins, it is simply a treasure that can nourish the spiritual tree and make the martial veins grow rapidly."

"Calm down now, absorb the medicinal power of the Divine Water Pill, and transfer the sacred art of the Divine Tree. The five elements are mutually generated, and water generates wood. Do you think you can take this opportunity to get started?"

Wan'er nodded, then sat down cross-legged, closed her eyes and entered into a state of meditation.

Not long after, Wan'er's face became extremely rosy, and her breath became more and more vigorous. It seemed that the medicinal power of the Divine Water Pill was taking effect.

Ka!

A faint explosion came from Wan'er's body.

Wan'er's breath surged, her momentum increased greatly, and a stream of air surged out of her body and spread in all directions.

"Surprisingly, she broke through, the first level of the True Yuan Realm!"

Miao Yan was surprised and happy. Wan'er entered the True Yuan Realm. With the True Yuan, it would be easier to practice the Holy Art of the Divine Tree.

Wan'er did not wake up, but remained in a state of meditation, continuing to absorb the medicinal power of the Divine Water Pill.

An hour later, the aura changed, and the vigorous vitality of the ancient tree no longer flowed everywhere, but was continuously absorbed into Wan'er's body.

Another hour passed, and the ancient tree lost too much vitality, withered branches and leaves, and gradually withered.

However, Wan'er's breath changed, becoming full of vitality, as if there was an infinite vitality flowing.

Suddenly, Wan'er opened her eyes, and a green light flashed in her eyes, which was fleeting.

A green leaf quietly appeared and imprinted on Wan'er's brow!

"Haha, it is worthy of being a top-grade Shenshui Pill. The effect is really powerful. Wan'er has already practiced the first level of the Shenmu Sacred Art and officially entered the door!"
