Chapter 823 World 371
After Chen Ling went to the main peak, it took him a long time to return, and he was often not at Po Nian Peak in the following days.
Shen Ruyin wanted to ask Fu He about the situation, but Lan Yue was paying more attention to her cultivation than usual, so she couldn't find the time and could only stay in the cave.
Since entering Po Nian Peak, the room in Shen Ruyin's cave used for refining weapons has been the most frequently used, and the fire in the furnace has never gone out.
Because some magical artifacts cannot be tempered by ordinary flames, Lan Yue specially introduced the seed of a different kind of fire into them.
Shen Ruyin felt that, compared to before, Lan Yue had a strange sense of urgency.
Now she feels that even cooking delicious food is a waste of time, and all she wants to do is teach Shen Ruyin more things.
Shen Ruyin wasn't ungrateful, so she naturally devoted more of her energy to it.
Several months passed, and Shen Ruyin's jade ring was filled with countless dazzling treasures. Chen Ling and Sect Master Qian also secretly contacted many other sects and finally learned some information about the demon race.
Just as Lan Yue said, there's a real problem with the Demon Lord's eternal slumber.
Although on the surface the Demon Lord's spirit is still in the depths of the Demon Palace, the Holy Envoys who have appeared in various places over the years have made people suspicious.
Just as they were about to continue their investigation, someone suddenly discovered the anomaly in the secret realm that Shen Ruyin and the others had entered.
"I heard that someone discovered a spirit beast that ran out of the secret realm near the entrance, and even vaguely saw the edge of the secret realm."
Inside the main hall of the main peak, Fuhe was talking about news about the secret realm, while Shen Ruyin, sitting behind Chen Ling, seemed lost in thought.
That's right. After becoming a Nascent Soul Venerable, Shen Ruyin received an additional benefit: she no longer had to stand behind Chen Ling. The people in the main hall gave her a new seat.
With Chen Ling blocking her way, as long as no one calls her, even if she doesn't listen to a word, no one will notice.
Oh, that's not right either.
As if Chen Ling had eyes in the back of her head, she turned her head and glanced over, signaling her to listen carefully.
Shen Ruyin quickly sat up straight and listened to the peak masters discuss the matter.
"Although the spirit beasts that left the secret realm were not of high rank, the fact that they were able to escape shows that the secret realm's binding force was already very weak for them."
"The secret realm, which was originally inaccessible without a token, now allows us to see directly at its edge. This is a sign of the secret realm's decay."
"Sect Master, we can continue to send people to investigate the matter of the demon race, but the destruction of the small secret realm will not wait for anyone. We should make plans as soon as possible."
"Yes, the secret realm mainly uses things that junior disciples can use. If we bring back more, the junior disciples will have more to live on."
Although it was called a discussion, in reality, the central idea of all the peak leaders was just one thing.
We have to get a piece of the pie!
Sect Leader Qian shared the same idea and, after careful consideration, decided to follow the old method and have each peak send someone to lead the team.
As the only disciple of Po Nian Peak, even though Shen Ruyin has reached the Nascent Soul stage, the spot can only go to her.
Shen Ruyin then sent a telepathic message to Chen Ling: "Master, shall I not go? The Ancestor has been keeping me focused on cultivation these days."
Chen Ling was unaware of what she and Lan Yue had obtained in the secret realm, but it was a fact that Po Nian Peak currently had no disciples at the Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment stages, so even if they brought those things back, they would be useless.
He secretly agreed with Shen Ruyin's words, but he couldn't say it out loud.
Ultimately, quota allocation is also resource allocation. If someone wants a spot, they have to find a way to get it themselves.
