Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 662: Snow falls on our heads, you and I have already grown old together_2

The preeminent Sect holds authority over the member Sects.

Thus, from the beginning, the three great Sects—Starfall Sect, Chongzhen Temple, and Snow Maiden Sect—did not disband. Instead, they chose to join the Butian Sect, becoming its subordinate, affiliated Sects.

Consequently, Sect Master Fang remained the head of the Starfall Sect, but her authority as Sect Master was less than that of the Sect Leader and the Sect Leader's Wife.

"Please ponder this matter, Sect Master Fang!"

"I will not interfere!"

Xu Xing stood with his hands clasped behind him, his temperament as serene as an ancient cypress, tranquil and detached.

"Yes..."

"I understand."

Sect Master Fang kowtowed.

Afterward, she rose and departed with Wu Miao, leaving the back mountain of the Butian Sect.

For the Starfall Sect at this time, joining the Butian Sect was a good thing.

With Xu Xing, a Nascent Soul Level expert, presiding, the Butian Sect was truly one of the Ten Major Sects.

Furthermore, with the alliance of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace's master and disciple lineage, their power was even more formidable.

For the disciples of a small School, joining the Higher Teachings was an incredible opportunity... How could they forsake becoming Upper Sect Disciples for her, their Sect Master?

Moreover, this time, I was indeed in the wrong!

"Now that Sect Master Fang has accepted her punishment, the Starfall Sect disciples will be much more disciplined from now on..."

Zuoqiu Ying whispered softly as she watched the retreating figures of Sect Master Fang and Wu Miao.

In the past, Starfall Sect disciples were somewhat dissatisfied with their position within the Butian Sect, believing they belonged to a senior Sect and their status should be above that of both the Chongzhen Temple and the Snow Maiden Sect. But after today, the Starfall Sect disciples will only be grateful to Xu Xing for not expelling them along with their guilty Sect Master from the Butian Sect. Resentment will be directed solely at Sect Master Fang. After all, the current Butian Sect isn't lacking for the addition of a mere Starfall Sect.

"This is a strand of Immortal Qi I obtained after achieving the Primordial Spirit Realm. I'm gifting it to you, Madam..." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Xu Xing did not respond to Zuoqiu Ying. He opened his mouth and exhaled a strand of milky-white Immortal Qi, directing it into Zuoqiu Ying's body.

With this Immortal Qi, Zuoqiu Ying's injuries healed instantly, and her realm's aura increased significantly, showing faint signs of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

"Try your best to refine this Immortal Qi before forming your Nascent Soul; it will be beneficial for your future Nascent Soul cultivation," Xu Xing added.

With that said, he flicked his sleeve robe and vanished from the back mountain, his Escaping Light disappearing to an unknown destination.

It seems that in his heart, I am more important than Wu Miao...

Zuoqiu Ying internally examined the strand of milky-white Immortal Qi in her Dantian, a joyful expression on her face as she secretly pondered.

Xu Xing was unaware of Zuoqiu Ying's musings.

However, he understood one thing: those in power couldn't base their actions solely on right and wrong. Had he expelled Sect Master Fang of the Starfall Sect from the Butian Sect and then also reprimanded Zuoqiu Ying, he wouldn't have pleased either side. But, as Zuoqiu Ying had surmised, this situation had turned into a blessing in disguise. It eliminated many internal worries within the Butian Sect and, incidentally, served as a warning to some Sect Members harboring ulterior motives.

I'll wait for the master and disciple here.

Xu Xing stood upon the clouds, observing the Butian Sect below. When he saw Sect Master Fang and her disciple leaving the Sect, he moved to a position on their inevitable path and waited for them.

He was not an indecisive man. He hadn't come this time to persuade the master and disciple to return to the Butian Sect, but rather to avoid leaving himself with another regret. At the beginning of his cultivation, he didn't understand what was meant by the ruthlessness of the Great Dao. But after five hundred years of cultivation, he believed he now understood. The so-called ruthlessness of the Great Dao meant that the higher one's realm, the fewer familiar faces from the past remained, until eventually, there were none.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, Fellow Daoist Wu..."

Xu Xing descended from the clouds, blocking Sect Master Fang and Wu Miao's path. He offered a Daoist salute and spoke.

"Sect Leader Xu, you're blocking our way. Is there something urgent?" Sect Master Fang stepped in front of Wu Miao, her gaze wary as she looked at Xu Xing.

She was old and astute; how could she not understand Xu Xing's intentions? Just moments ago, Xu Xing had reprimanded them both and expelled them from the Butian Sect. Now, he was blocking their path again. She didn't need to think hard to know that Xu Xing still harbored lingering feelings for Wu Miao. However, that was then, and this is now. Since Xu Xing had acted so ruthlessly, his feelings for Wu Miao probably weren't that deep after all.

"Sect Master Fang, you've misunderstood."

"I am stopping you both because I wish to speak with Saintess Wu..." Xu Xing shook his head.

His expression was serene, his eyes clear, like a true cultivator, not a young man still caught in the throes of infatuation.

"Master, some things are better said clearly," Wu Miao stepped forward, her eyes meeting Xu Xing's, devoid of her previous infatuation.

"This..." Sect Master Fang sighed softly and stepped aside, no longer obstructing them.

However, her gaze towards her beloved disciple now held more pity than before. The bonds of the mortal world have always been difficult to sever. She wondered how much composure Wu Miao could maintain when facing Xu Xing alone.

Sect Master Fang gently patted Wu Miao's slender shoulder and said via voice transmission, "Don't devalue yourself."

"Master, I know." Wu Miao nodded her elegant head slightly.

Then, Wu Miao looked at Xu Xing and agreed to speak with him alone for a moment.

"Good!"

"Saintess Wu, please follow me."

Xu Xing nodded, flicked his sleeve robe, and transported Wu Miao away from their current location, heading towards the Snow Mountain in the northern part of the North Wilderness.

"I will return Saintess Wu to Sect Master Fang within half a day," he sent a voice transmission to Sect Master Fang.

A few breaths later, Xu Xing and Wu Miao arrived at the Snow Mountain in the North Wilderness, standing upon the pure white snow.

"Saintess Wu, you should understand why I chose Zuoqiu Ying to be my wife, and the Sect Leader's Wife of the Butian Sect..."
