Chapter 710: Joining the Sect, Renamed Huang Yuan

Soon, Wu Yifan was led by the guard to a small hut. Upon arriving at the hut, the guard spoke toward the door in an extremely respectful tone.

"Elder No Wilderness, a visitor has arrived from outside, saying he was recommended to join your sect."

As the guard's words fell, the door of the hut slowly opened the next second. Looking in from the outside, the interior was a boundless abyss, incredibly eerie.

A powerful, deep voice then drifted out from the hut: "Let him in."

As Elder No Wilderness spoke, the guard nodded in response, then looked at Wu Yifan and said, "Go in, Elder No Wilderness is inside."

With that, the guard turned and left, leaving Wu Yifan there alone.

Looking at the hut before him, Wu Yifan's expression was grave. After much thought, he resolutely stepped inside. The moment he entered, the door behind him closed.

By the time Wu Yifan regained his senses, he had already arrived in a different world.

Looking at the vast space around him that completely contradicted the small hut outside, Wu Yifan was momentarily astonished. However, it was only for a second. Although Forbidden Creatures specialized in the forbidden path, once strength reached a certain level, they could easily manipulate other Great Dao Powers, though it wasn't exactly effortless.

Presumably, this space was the Domain of Elder No Wilderness.

Before Wu Yifan could think further, his body was pulled by an uncontrollable force. He could feel that this power was stronger than his own; even if he unleashed his Divine Power, he might not be able to resist it. To avoid exposure, he suppressed any thought of resistance and allowed the Forbidden Power to pull him before an old man.

Standing before the man, Wu Yifan's brow furrowed. He could sense an incredibly terrifying aura from him—the man was definitely an Eighteenth-level powerhouse. Even if Wu Yifan gave his all, he would be no match for him.

If not for the Heavenly Emperor Bell masking his aura, he likely wouldn't have been able to hide at all.

Elder No Wilderness did not notice anything unusual about Wu Yifan. After sensing Wu Yifan's talent, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad. Your talent is indeed excellent, reaching an Eleventh-level Breakthrough in just ten thousand years. No wonder that fellow Fa Tian recommended you."

"Senior is joking. My meager talent is nothing in front of you."

Wu Yifan said very humbly.

Hearing this, Elder No Wilderness became even more pleased. He looked at Wu Yifan and said, "There's no need to belittle yourself; your talent is already quite terrifying."

"Since that fellow Fa Tian recommended you and you have come, I presume you are willing to become my Disciple."

As Elder No Wilderness finished speaking, Wu Yifan immediately replied without hesitation, his tone extremely respectful: "Your Disciple, Huang, greets Master!"

Seeing Wu Yifan's actions, Elder No Wilderness was even more satisfied. However, upon hearing Wu Yifan's name, Senior No Wilderness couldn't help but frown and said, "My Daoist title is No Wilderness, and your name is Huang. It seems somewhat inauspicious. How about I give you a new name?"

Hearing this, Wu Yifan felt some dissatisfaction in his heart. After all, he had chosen that name with great effort. But now, being under someone else's roof, he could only follow No Wilderness's arrangement. Thus, Wu Yifan nodded and agreed.

"I will follow Master's arrangements."

Seeing Wu Yifan agree, Elder No Wilderness began to think seriously. After a while, he finally spoke: "Since you have joined my sect, you shall be called Huang Yuan."

Following Elder No Wilderness's words, this signified that from this moment on, Wu Yifan's name in the Forbidden Realm would be Huang Yuan.

"Huang Yuan thanks Master for the name."

Wu Yifan cupped his fists in gratitude.

Senior No Wilderness waved his hand and said, "Alright, if there's nothing else, you may leave. From now on, unless you encounter difficulties in your Cultivate, do not disturb me. Instead, you can go consult your Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters. This is the identity token of my sect; simply showing it will identify you as my Disciple."

Elder No Wilderness threw out a token after speaking.

As the token landed in his hand, Wu Yifan saw that it was similar to the Gu Yuan Academy recommendation token given to him by Daoist Fa Tian. However, on this token, the words 'No Wilderness' were carved, and below them was a number: 365.

"Master, what does this number mean?"

Wu Yifan asked curiously.

Senior No Wilderness explained, "The number indicates your rank among the Disciples. It means you are ranked 365th under me. Above you, there are 364 Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters."

Hearing this, Wu Yifan realized. But he quickly reacted—364 Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters meant there were 364 people in the sect who were stronger than him?

"Alright, if there's nothing else, leave. The token will naturally guide you to your Dao Arena."

Elder No Wilderness waved his hand.

Seeing this, Wu Yifan stayed no longer. He cupped his fists, stepped back, and was sent out of the hut.

After exiting the hut, Wu Yifan took out the token. After injecting power into it, he successfully established a Master-recognition relationship with the token. This meant that from now on, Wu Yifan could freely enter and leave Gu Yuan Academy.

"I should head to my Dao Residence first."

Wu Yifan thought to himself, wondering what the temperaments of his 364 Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters were like. He hoped they would be easy to get along with and help him grow stronger quickly so he could leave the Forbidden Realm and return to the Divine Realm.

He had been away from the Divine Realm for so long; he wondered what Realm his parents had cultivated to and if they were doing well. However, thinking that Great-Grandfather was still in the Divine Realm, it would be strange if anything went wrong.

Shaking his head, Wu Yifan stopped thinking about it and hurried toward his Dao Residence under the guidance of the token.

In the Divine Realm, Wu Qiankun and his wife opened their eyes. Just now, they felt a sensation, as if their child Wu Yifan was thinking of them.

"Husband, I wonder how Holy Son Yifan is doing now."

White Jade You snuggled in Wu Qiankun's arms, her tone full of worry for Wu Yifan.

Although they had several more children over the years, Wu Yifan was their eldest son, so they were naturally most concerned about his safety.

Hearing this, Wu Qiankun's heart was heavy, but he forced himself to suppress his worry and said, "Don't worry, Holy Son Yifan will definitely be fine. After all, Grandpa is protecting him, and there are no dangers in the Divine Realm."

Wu Qiankun and his wife were still unaware that Wu Yifan had left the Divine Realm to go undercover in the Forbidden Realm. Wu Yifan would not mention it voluntarily, and neither would Wu Hao. Telling them would only make them worry; it was better to wait until Wu Yifan and the others returned.
