Chapter 109: Reflections on the Spirit Realm

Su Yu looked at the two and said, "Brother Qian, you two are back. Have you finished discussing things?"

"We have finished discussing it. The Disciples we chose do not overlap with those selected by others."

Su Yu nodded. Looking at the nervous Outer Sect Disciples, he understood that feeling.

As Disciples were continuously called up, those who were chosen naturally had nothing to complain about, but those who weren't grew increasingly anxious.

The further it went, the lower the probability of being called up became.

Wang En, standing below the stage, naturally hoped to be taken as a Disciple by one of the Golden Core Stage Elders, but he understood that this was impossible. He hadn't lasted long on stage before being knocked off.

No Elder would take a liking to him; his strength and experience were currently insufficient. Only later would there be a chance to be favored by a Golden Core Stage Elder.

Watching those who were selected, he felt envious. He had previously seen Su Yu among the Elders.

To be honest, the moment he saw Su Yu, he still held a glimmer of fantasy in his heart.

He wondered if Elder Su would take him as a Disciple.

On Su Yu's side, the other Elders were also nearly finished, and it was now Qian Xiao and the other Elder's turn.

Qian Xiao and Elder He announced the names of the Disciples they had chosen to those outside.

Immediately, the Disciples chosen by Qian Xiao and Elder He revealed expressions of excitement.

"I was chosen by an Elder! It's Elder Qian and Elder He."

"They are quite established Golden Core Elders, too. That's great! Let's go find Elder Qian and Elder He quickly; don't keep them waiting."

The chosen Disciples took excited steps and headed towards the room where Su Yu was located.

As time passed, those Disciples who hadn't been called yet—despite having some confidence in themselves—grew increasingly panicked. It seemed there was no hope for them this time.

At this moment, an Elder's voice rang out: "I am the last Elder to take on Disciples this time. The other Elders do not have plans to take on Disciples. Those who haven't been chosen will have to wait for next time; you all need to continue honing your skills."

After he called away the few Disciples he had taken a liking to, the hearts of the Disciples below finally lost all hope.

The glimmer of hope Wang En had originally held was also shattered; Elder Su had no intention of taking on Disciples.

Sigh, even if Elder Su had intended to take on Disciples, the probability of him being taken as a Disciple was still too small.

When the last name was read, those few selected Disciples let out shouts of joy.

Their current mood could be described as even happier than those Disciples before them.

It gave them a feeling of finding a way out of a desperate situation.

On Su Yu's side, a knock on the door had already sounded.

"Elder He, Elder Qian, we have arrived."

"Hm, come in."

The six people outside looked at each other and, with anxious hearts, pushed open the door.

They also saw Su Yu inside. They all knew Su Yu; Outer Sect Disciples were familiar with all the Outer Sect Elders.

It was impossible to be an Outer Sect Disciple and not know who the Sect's Outer Sect Elders were.

The six of them bowed to Su Yu. "Hello, Elder Su."

Su Yu nodded.

Qian Xiao and Elder He each took three Disciples, consisting of two males and one female each.

Qian Xiao and Elder He looked at the six people standing at the door without moving. "All of you, come over here."

The six of them walked forward one after another.

"During the Three Sect Competition, we were both quite satisfied with you. Although you didn't make it to the very end, the potential you possess is unquestionable."

"We observed your character and learned a bit about your conduct."

"You are all quite good; this is also the reason why we chose you."

Upon hearing this, the six were very happy to receive praise from Qian Xiao and Elder He.

Qian Xiao and Elder He watched the six reveal expressions of joy and didn't say much else.

"Alright, from now on, the six of you will be our respective Disciples."

"Pack your things, and you will each follow us back."

"Yes, Master."

The six looked at each other; they had finally officially been accepted as Disciples by the Elders.

From now on, they had backing. They understood very well the situation of Cultivating alone without a Master; if many people with backgrounds caused you trouble, you could only swallow your anger.

No one would specially guide them on issues regarding Cultivation.

Now it was different. With this Master, their path of Cultivation could be considered much smoother.

They didn't dare to hope for a Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage; such things were not for them to consider right now.

If they could achieve a Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage now, they would already be satisfied. There were not many in the entire Southern Region at the Nascent Soul Stage.

If they didn't have the guidance of a Golden Core Stage Master, whether they could achieve a Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage was still a question.

Therefore, they were satisfied for now.

"Alright, we have finished giving our instructions. Just wait on the side for now. Once we arrive at the Profound Heaven Sect, I will take you with me."

Su Yu looked at the few people sitting to the side, feeling like he was back in his past life, being called to an office or classroom by a teacher or boss and told to wait.

Qian Xiao looked at Su Yu. "It's a pity, Brother Su, that you aren't taking on Disciples. Otherwise, we definitely would have had to hold a 'Three Friends Competition' and have the Disciples under each of us have a match to see whose Disciple could win the championship."

"We could also appropriately give them rewards for winning; this would also motivate them."

Su Yu looked at the two. "That's a good idea. There might be a chance for that in the future, but I don't have that much time right now."

Su Yu simply didn't have the intention to take on Disciples right now. Perhaps one day he would, but definitely not now.

How great it was to just slack off on his own. Previously, when he taught Han Ting, he had to keep an eye on her from time to time.

Moreover, the Southern Region was already starting to become unstable, and he needed to make some preparations.

After returning to the Profound Heaven Sect, Su Yu bid the two farewell.

Su Yu could already feel the Bottleneck of the Refining Void Late Stage; it wouldn't be long before he could achieve a Breakthrough to the Refining Void Late Stage.

The next step would be to consider a Breakthrough to the Body Integration Realm.

He now had two paths he could take. One was to eventually look for a way to go to the Spirit Realm, but one thing puzzled him: no one from the Southern Region who had gone to the Spirit Realm had returned in a very long time.

Combined with the conversation he overheard from the people of the Spirit Realm last time, it was not simple for them to come to the Southern Region either.

This made him unsure if he could return immediately after going to the Spirit Realm and completing his Breakthrough.

He was so comfortable staying in the Southern Region right now; he didn't want to go to the Spirit Realm. It would be fine if he could return immediately, though.

The second path was for him to use a Teleportation Formation to teleport to other regions, such as the Western Region.

Because he wouldn't get stuck at a certain Realm; once he reached the Perfection of the Refining Void Realm, his cultivation would automatically rise. In other words, even if he were in a place where it was impossible to achieve a Breakthrough to the Body Integration Realm, he could still achieve it.

This made him unable to gauge what kind of anomalies might happen at that time.

To be safer, he wouldn't achieve his Breakthrough in the Southern Region. If he went to another region, even if an anomaly caused an accident, no one would know it was him.

But he was still confident that there would be no accidents. He was about to reach the level of a Level 9 Formation Master; he could still set up a Grand Array that could cover a region of heaven and earth, or change a region of heaven and earth.

However, he still had to play it safe; not a single accident could occur.

Thinking of these two plans, he unhesitatingly chose the latter. What if he encountered some big shot the moment he arrived in the Spirit Realm with the former?

He needed to start collecting some Materials to prepare for what was to come, but these Materials were a bit of a headache; he could only take it slow.

A person covered in blood appeared near the Profound Heaven Sect. He had finally managed to escape.

For this, he had sacrificed a treasure he had obtained by chance; that treasure could hide him within a spatial dimension for a period of time, three times.

Anyone who was not a powerful expert could not discover him at all.

Now, seeing that the treasure had been used up, he had finally run out.

He hadn't expected that the rumors about the Demon Clan member were true. He had to spread this news.

Just as he was looking ahead, a figure appeared before him.
