Chapter 136: A Visit from the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, Simulation Again
“The Martial Sect? Some small sect that popped up out of nowhere, and they don’t even know the rules!”
In the Northern Region of the Heaven Mystery Continent, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator led several Golden Core cultivators, flying toward the Martial Sect.
One of the Golden Core cultivators said, “Exactly. That so-called Martial Sect clearly doesn’t put our Immortal Treasure Pavilion in their eyes at all! Founding a sect and they didn’t even come to register with the Immortal Treasure Pavilion.”
“And they’ve dragged the Pavilion Master out personally. This trip, we definitely have to knock them around a bit and let them know who’s the boss around here!”
“Hmph!” The leading Nascent Soul stage cultivator let out a cold snort, clearly somewhat displeased as well.
“Pavilion Master, this seems to be the road to the Azure Cloud Sect!” A Golden Core cultivator suddenly noticed something and spoke up.
“Bad luck! Everyone be careful on this trip. Don’t provoke those lunatics from the Azure Cloud Sect!” The Pavilion Master’s expression was none too pleasant either, and he warned the people behind him.
“That Martial Sect is actually near the Azure Cloud Sect. Looks like they’re not far from being wiped out!” Someone mocked.
“Pavilion Master, we’ve arrived.”
The group looked at the brand-new Martial Sect before them, their expressions all rather ugly. The leading Pavilion Master’s face was full of anger as he said, “Isn’t this the Azure Cloud Sect? When did it become the Martial Sect?”
“Uh, could it be that those lunatics changed the sect’s name? After all, the Azure Cloud Sect’s reputation isn’t exactly the best.”
“It’s possible!”
“Well, we’re already here. Let’s go in and take a look!”
The group arrived at the Martial Sect’s gate. One of the Golden Core cultivators looked at a Spirit Transformation stage puppet with vacant eyes and said, “Hey you, hurry up and call your Sect Master out! Tell them the Immortal Treasure Pavilion’s Pavilion Master Gu is here. Tell them to roll out and welcome us!”
Seeing the Spirit Transformation stage puppet remain unmoved, the Golden Core cultivator grew impatient and directly slapped it, muttering, “I’m talking to you, didn’t you hear?”
Boom!
The Golden Core cultivator was sent flying backward. A moment later, he turned into a puddle of bloody mud. He couldn’t have been more dead.
“This…” The Immortal Treasure Pavilion group stood frozen on the spot, somewhat at a loss.
“Wait, you’re… Senior Leng Feng?” Pavilion Master Gu’s eyes widened. He had clearly recognized this person. It was none other than the former Ancestor of the Azure Cloud Sect, a Spirit Transformation stage cultivator.
“Senior Leng Feng, why are you here?” Pavilion Master Gu secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and personally greeted him.
But unfortunately, Leng Feng had now been refined into a puppet by Ye Xiao, with no capacity for thought.
Just as Pavilion Master Gu was at a loss, Ye Xiao came out, having heard the commotion.
Ye Xiao looked at the group before him and asked in confusion, “Who are you?”
“We’re from the Immortal Treasure Pavilion. We’ve come this time to visit your Martial Sect’s Sect Master. Please, Fellow Daoist, pass on the message.”
Ye Xiao shook his head. “No need to pass on any message. I am the Martial Sect’s Sect Master. What business does the Immortal Treasure Pavilion have with me?”
Pavilion Master Gu, hearing this, glanced at Leng Feng behind him and probed, “Then the one behind you is…”
“Him?” Ye Xiao glanced at Leng Feng and said flatly, “Just a gate guard for my Martial Sect. Is there a problem?”
“A Spirit Transformation stage powerhouse serving as a guard?” Pavilion Master Gu broke out in cold sweat, not daring to show the slightest disrespect. He said with utmost respect, “We came this time to open a branch of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion near your Martial Sect, specifically to serve your Martial Sect!”
“Pavilion Master?” The group of Golden Core cultivators was stunned. Weren’t they here to register? Why were they suddenly opening a branch? And specifically serving the Martial Sect?
After all, even the Five Great Sects didn’t receive such treatment!
“Shut up!” Pavilion Master Gu scolded the Golden Core cultivators, then bowed and asked Ye Xiao again, “Senior, what do you think?”
“Do as you like. Just don’t interfere with my Martial Sect’s recruitment of disciples.” Ye Xiao waved his hand dismissively.
“Rest assured, we will absolutely not disturb you!” Pavilion Master Gu guaranteed, patting his chest.
“Is there anything else? If not, please return, everyone.” Ye Xiao issued his order of dismissal.
“No, nothing. We’ll leave now.” Pavilion Master Gu left with the others.
On the way, a Golden Core cultivator couldn’t help but speak up and ask, “Pavilion Master, opening a branch is such an important matter. You handled it just like that? Will the higher-ups agree?”
“What do you know! If they can use a Spirit Transformation stage powerhouse as a guard, do you think that Martial Sect’s Sect Master is an ordinary person?”
“As long as I seize this opportunity, in the future I might not be able to climb even higher within the Pavilion!”
“Then what about Little Wang? He was directly smashed into a puddle of bloody mud!”
“Little Wang? What Little Wang? Do we have someone by that name in our Pavilion?” Pavilion Master Gu played dumb.
The group of Golden Core cultivators understood. They silently apologized to the dead Little Wang.

After dealing with the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, Ye Xiao returned to the sect and opened the System Panel.

“System, begin simulation!” Ye Xiao shouted in his heart.
“Ding, lifespan -300 years. Simulation begins!”
【“Is there an eighteen-year-old Void Return realm cultivator in this world?” Entering the simulation, you feel like your whole body is about to float away.】
【After being meek for so long, with your current cultivation, as long as you don’t provoke some Old Monsters, you’re strong enough to dominate the entire Northern Region of the Heaven Mystery Continent!】
【The next morning, you ride Xiao Long straight toward the Five Great Sects!】
【You want to develop and expand the Martial Sect, which inevitably requires resources. And right now, the resources of the Heaven Mystery Continent’s Northern Region are all controlled by the major powers.】
【Coincidentally, the Ancestors of the Five Great Sects all have some connection to you.】
【Three days later, you arrive at the Body-Refining Sect. Your half-step Void Return Primordial Spirit surrounds the entire Body-Refining Sect and directly finds the Body-Refining Sect’s Spirit Transformation Ancestor.】
【Without another word, you directly take out the Human Sovereign Banner, absorb the Spirit Transformation Ancestor’s soul entirely into the Human Sovereign Banner, and refine his physical body into a puppet.】
【The current Martial Sect has basically no foundation. You need some thugs to maintain the sect’s stability. After all, you also need to cultivate. It’s impossible to look after the sect at every moment.】
