System's Super Sect-Chapter 439 - 437. Long Ke’s Little Thoughts

At that moment, a crimson Meridian Gate opened with a sound.

Bang—

A crisp and lingering sound echoed at the summit of Yunlan Mountain, followed by a ripple-like crimson Vein Qi spreading all around. The moment that layer of fiery red half-phase touched Long Ke’s skin, an astonishing heat surged, causing Long Ke to step back a few paces, pausing to observe.

Despite having important matters to attend to with Wen Ping—Lin Kewu was at the foot of the mountain, indicating Wen Ping had returned from the Xuanse Lake disturbance.

"This fire is rather strange."

To her, she had never seen such a Fire Attribute Anomaly Vein.

For just the spreading Vein Qi to make her feel a heat sensation was a truly incredible thing.

Boom!

Another Vibrating Vein Sound was heard.

Zhantian Qingxuan opened her second Meridian Gate.

Officially stepping into the Divine Profound Realm.

This scene fell into Long Ke’s eyes, and she couldn’t help but be secretly amazed, "Is my sister deceiving me, or is there really an extraordinary person behind this sect? Such rare Innate Anomaly Veins, yet the Immortal Sect has two. Elder Yu Mo has the Fire Attribute Anomaly Vein, and now Elder Zhantian also possesses the Fire Attribute."

Although someone of her age in the Divine Profound Realm wasn’t commendable, the talent of this Innate Anomaly Vein indeed made her quite appreciative, casually placed into a four-star influence, she would definitely be a core cultivated talent.

At this time, footsteps were heard from the Main Hall.

"Congratulations, Elder Zhantian."

Yu Mo ran out from the Main Hall.

In fact, he had been waiting in the Main Hall for Zhantian Qingxuan to obtain the Anomaly Vein.

"Congratulations, Elder Zhantian, on gaining a Fire Attribute Anomaly Vein and successfully advancing to the Divine Profound Realm, becoming the sect’s third person to possess the Hellfire Anomaly Vein."

"Congratulations, Elder Zhantian."

After the time for the Thousand Layers ordeal ended, Qin Shan and others came up.

To them, it was incredibly enviable watching Zhantian Qingxuan; they had only learned Fire Snake Skill, Sword Control Skill or such, while Elder Zhantian Qingxuan had already mastered Hurricane Skill and possessed the Hellfire Anomaly Vein—what they knew, Zhantian Qingxuan knew, and what Zhantian Qingxuan already had, they were still striving towards.

Zhantian Qingxuan first greeted Long Ke, then smiled and talked to Qin Shan, Yun Liao, and others: "The Thousand Layers opens every seven days, everyone will get the Hellfire Anomaly Vein."

After saying this, Zhantian Qingxuan closed the Meridian Gate, and with a somewhat complex expression continued, "But I must say, the last ten steps of the Thousand Layers were truly difficult, each step like a representation, almost got caught in the illusionary world and couldn’t get out. My heart now feels a mixture of emotions... Though having crossed, I truly understand the Sect Leader’s composed reaction even when faced with a landslide."

She said this with a hint of wiping her eyes.

However, her emotions didn’t have the sadness powerful enough to cause tears, perhaps because she hadn’t fully adapted to things outside the illusionary yet.

Yu Mo chuckled in response, "Elder Zhantian, Sect Leader’s composure is not solely due to the Thousand Layers; Sect Leader is... incredibly lonely in invincibility."

"Haha."

Everyone laughed heartily.

They almost forgot they were there to congratulate Zhantian Qingxuan and ask for advice.

...

Long Ke stood aside, seemingly out of place while staring at them.

She couldn’t join the conversation.

Similarly, no one paid attention to her—besides the initial bow for greeting.

However, listening to their conversation, she again forgot about the urgent matter needing Wen Ping’s attention. News she obtained mentioned Wen Ping’s wantonness had attracted attention from the entire Xuanse Lake and several surrounding large lakes. Now, those people are negotiating a time to talk.

Talk about what?

Of course, it’s to discuss an attack on the Immortal Sect.

She knew the Immortal Sect wasn’t as ordinary as her sister described, merely a simple Two-star influence, its power couldn’t be measured by Star Level, but this time they offended the Hundred Sects Alliance—the only Five-star influence residing in Heaven and Earth Lake, backed by a figure surpassing the Mountain Suppression Realm.

Now, she forgot all about it.

Because from everyone’s words, she gathered information—the Thousand Layers seemed like a trial, able to induce illusions.

Similar to Illusion Array.

Though, it was also because Illusion Array was all she knew.

In the Thousand Layers, as long as one reaches the top, the Innate Anomaly Vein of Fire Attribute can be obtained.

Sounds incredibly miraculous, without personally hearing Zhantian Qingxuan say it, she probably wouldn’t dream of such a dream.

Innate Anomaly Veins have an infinitesimal probability of occurring on a person.

But in the Immortal Sect, climbing stairs can yield an Innate Anomaly Vein.

Who would believe such a tale if told?

"Elder Yu Mo, did you get your Anomaly Vein the same way?" Finally, Long Ke couldn’t help but speak out.

"Hmm."

Yu Mo nodded.

He then continued explaining, "Guest Minister Zhao, if you’re interested, you can actually try entering the Thousand Layers. If you already possess an Innate Anomaly Vein, you can consider it as a heart refinement. After walking once through the Thousand Layers... it’s truly equivalent to spending dozens of years outside; joy and sorrow, completing the Thousand Layers, equates to living a lifetime."

"I..."

Entrance?

She’s a Guest Minister; Wen Ping doesn’t allow her entry.

Everything else aside, she’s not all that eager, such as heart refinement, she thinks she doesn’t need it.

But this Innate Anomaly Vein of Fire Attribute, she indeed wants it.

"You all continue chatting..." Sighing inwardly, Long Ke gritted her teeth and walked away.

Wanting aside.

Wen Ping doesn’t let her enter—what can be done?

"Guest Minister Zhao, take care."

"Guest Minister Zhao, take care..."

Amidst the farewells, Long Ke proceeded from the other side of the Main Hall towards Tingyu Pavilion.

It is said that it is Wen Ping’s favorite place to stay.

As she walked, the corners of her mouth suddenly shifted from disappointment to delight, as if something came to mind.

"Others fear the Hundred Sects Alliance, but I do not. If I assist this kid, randomly kill a few Mountain Suppression Realm to establish prestige, the matter would be solved – I merely demand freedom to enter anywhere in Immortal Sect. This kid surely won’t refuse, striving to preserve his father’s legacy."

Thinking this, Long Ke’s mouth couldn’t stay closed.

It’s truly a genius idea.

"Huh?"

"How come I’m back here?"

As she walked, H Lan was taken aback.

She was clearly heading towards Tingyu Pavilion, how did it become like descending the hill, almost like leaving Tingyu Pavilion.

"Sect Leader presently occupied, is not in Tingyu Pavilion... besides Sect Leader, none can enter or leave Tingyu Pavilion, including you." Suddenly, Wang Bo strolled by leisurely.

"Hmm?"

This was her first time being so close to Wang Bo.

Wang Bo bore the same disregard as Wen Ping for who she was, her realm.

Only Wang Bo appeared like an ordinary person.

Retracting the investigation on Wang Bo, and taking her eyes off Tingyu Pavilion, Long Ke hastily asked, "Where is the kid now?"
