Chapter 7: Seclusion in the Back Mountain

After the Inner Sect Competition, on the morning of one week later, waves of bells echoed within the Hengyue Sect.

The bell rang five times, which meant that all Inner Sect Disciples had to quickly gather at the School Main Hall.

Hearing the bell, Sun Xuan knew that this was the Hengyue Sect opening the Forbidden Land in the back mountain for the upcoming sparring and exchange with the Xuandao Sect five years later, so that Inner Sect Disciples could Cultivate in seclusion to raise their Realm.

He then brought Wang Lin and quickly headed toward the School Main Hall.

Upon arriving at the School Main Hall, Sun Xuan went alone to the position where the School Elders were located and sat cross-legged.

As for Wang Lin, he stood in the middle of the main hall together with a crowd of Inner Sect Disciples.

Because Wang Lin suddenly rose to prominence during the Inner Sect Competition, he displayed his own strength and Aptitude.

Among the crowd of Inner Sect Disciples, quite a few held flattering intentions toward Wang Lin.

"Junior Brother Wang Lin, I didn't expect you to suddenly rise to prominence during the Inner Sect Competition and defeat Wang Zhuo to become the new rookie king."

"Presumably, it won't be long before Junior Brother Wang Lin's Cultivation surges and he becomes the number one person among us Inner Sect Disciples."

Seeing a veteran Inner Sect Disciple speak with a flattering expression.

This veteran Inner Sect Disciple had limited potential; although his current Cultivation strength was a bit higher than Wang Lin's,

he had not made any progress for many years.

After a few years, when he grew older, he would end up bench-warming just like Sun Xuan's predecessor, Sun Dachu.

Now, by establishing a good friendship with Wang Lin, a rookie king with exceptional Aptitude, once Wang Lin's strength rose in the future, he could also share a bit of the glory and obtain more resources and benefits.

After this veteran Inner Sect Disciple spoke, the surrounding crowd of Disciples who were in a similar situation immediately chimed in.

One sentence after another, they were practically praising Wang Lin to the heavens.

Even with Wang Lin's thick skin, he was still somewhat blushing from the praises of this group of bottomless Inner Sect Disciples.

Knowing one's own family matters best, Wang Lin knew very well in his heart just how terrible his Aptitude was.

Being able to advance his Cultivation so quickly mainly relied on the help of the heaven defying bead in his hand, as well as his Master's meticulous care and guidance.

As for Wang Zhuo, who was publicly defeated by Wang Lin and became a stepping stone, he was completely given the cold shoulder.

Some Inner Sect Disciples even poured cold sarcasm and sneers onto Wang Zhuo in order to please Wang Lin.

Yet these Inner Sect Disciples were all stronger in strength than Wang Zhuo at this moment.

This caused Wang Zhuo to hold a stomach full of anger, but at this moment he did not dare to release it.

This made Wang Zhuo, who already harbored a grudge, hate Wang Lin even more at this moment.

A pair of bloodshot eyes glared fixedly at Wang Lin, wishing he could step forward right now and tear Wang Lin to pieces.

The Elders above the main hall looked at the situation in the hall, and with faces full of envy, said to Sun Xuan:

"Junior Brother Sun, you have taken in a good Disciple."

"Indeed, indeed. I didn't expect Junior Brother Sun's vision to still be so sharp!"

Hearing these flatteries, Sun Xuan only smiled and did not make much of a response.

Right at this moment, Sect Leader Master Huanglong, who was sitting on the main seat of the hall, gave a light cough and then spoke:

"Alright!"

"This time gathering you all here is to prepare for the sparring and exchange with the Xuandao Sect four years later. We absolutely cannot lose the exchange with the Xuandao Sect four years from now!"

"Starting from today, the Sect will open the Forbidden Land in the back mountain. After you enter the back mountain, everyone will have their own place to Cultivate in seclusion."

"Your main task is to raise your own Cultivation."

"This time the School will take out ten thousand duoling pills for you to use. During this period, you must not leave the back mountain. Do you remember this!"

As soon as Sect Leader Master Huanglong's voice fell, the crowd of Inner Sect Disciples immediately responded in unison.

Master Huanglong nodded slightly and continued:

"I hope that four years from now, there will be those wearing purple clothes among you. Purple clothes represent the Core Disciples of our Hengyue Sect, far incomparable to Inner Sect Disciples."

"Never mind, you can comprehend the pros and cons yourselves. Now I will send you to the back mountain, and someone will naturally arrange a place for you to Cultivate."

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Huanglong's gaze paused slightly on Wang Lin's body, and then with a flick of his large sleeve, a streak of white light shot out from his cuff.

After the white light hovered around the main hall for a circle, only Master Huanglong's low shout was heard: "Open!"

The white light instantly expanded infinitely, turning into a light curtain in the blink of an eye, enveloping all the Inner Sect Disciples inside.

"Go!" Along with Master Huanglong's low shout, the light curtain flashed with ripples, and then disappeared from the main hall together with the crowd of Inner Sect Disciples it enveloped.

Sun Xuan knew that these Inner Sect Disciples had been teleported into the Forbidden Land of the back mountain by Sect Leader Master Huanglong.

They started a four-year period of Cultivating in seclusion.

As for Wang Lin, under the help of Situ Nan who was hiding in the Heaven-Defying Space, his Cultivation would rapidly improve.

In this way, Sun Xuan's own strength would also rapidly increase under the ten-thousand-fold return.

When the Xuandao Sect arrived and the Hengyue Sect was destroyed, only then would he have the strength to continue surviving in this cruel world of cultivation.

After sending all the Inner Sect Disciples into the Forbidden Land of the back mountain, the crowd of Elders in the School Main Hall also dispersed respectively.

Sun Xuan walked out of the School Main Hall and did not continue to return to the medicine garden to Cultivate in seclusion.

Instead, he got up and headed toward the Scripture Pavilion of the Hengyue Sect.

Next, in Sun Xuan's hands, because of the rapid improvement of Wang Lin's Cultivation, he would obtain a large amount of returned Cultivation.

Sun Xuan planned to use a portion of these returned Cultivations to enhance his own Cultivation progress.

Then set aside another portion to deduce several protective Spells and refine several Magical Artifacts with tyrannical power.

Otherwise, he would only have an empty body of Cultivation Realm without the corresponding battle strength to match it.

"Elder Sun, do you have any instructions for coming to the Scripture Pavilion?"

The guarding Disciple of the Scripture Pavilion saw that it was Sun Xuan who arrived, and immediately spoke with a trace of respect on his face.

Recently, because of Wang Lin's performance during the Inner Sect Competition, Sun Xuan, who was Wang Lin's Master, had also shared quite a bit of the glory.

These Disciples who didn't take Sun Xuan seriously before had all become much more respectful.

"So it is Junior Nephew Zhang, this old man has come to the Scripture Pavilion to borrow a few Spells."

Sun Xuan said to the guarding Disciple in a calm tone.

Hearing this, the guarding Disciple immediately activated the Formation guarding the Scripture Pavilion and respectfully welcomed Sun Xuan in.

The Scripture Pavilion was divided into four floors in total. When the Hengyue Sect was at the peak of its strength five hundred years ago, ordinary Inner Sect Disciples could only borrow and comprehend Cultivation Techniques on the first floor.

The second floor was only accessible to Elders and Core Disciples. If one wanted to go to the third floor, they had to have at least the Cultivation of the Core Formation Realm to be qualified.

As for the fourth floor, only the few Nascent Soul ancestors of the Hengyue Sect back then could enter it.

However, five hundred years passed, the few Nascent Soul ancestors of the Hengyue Sect had completely lost contact ever since they went to the Outer Realm Battlefield.

The entire School had also completely declined.

Now in the entire School, let alone Nascent Soul ancestors, even Core Formation Cultivators only had two left.

Therefore, in order to more quickly raise the Cultivation strength of the Disciples within the School, as long as they were Inner Sect Disciples, they could go borrow and comprehend Cultivation Techniques on the first and second floors of the Scripture Pavilion.

As for Elders and Core Disciples, the third floor of the Scripture Pavilion was also freely accessible.

Even for some Disciples with extremely outstanding natural talent, it wasn't impossible for them to enter even the fourth floor of the Scripture Pavilion.
