Chapter 1471 - 1468: Hurry and Pay Your Respects to the Sect Leader Uncle

Facing Yang Fei’s questioning gaze, Wan Daorong sighed inwardly and said directly, "Fei’er, it would have been better if you hadn’t come to the Southern Domain."

Upon hearing these words, Yang Fei felt a heaviness in his heart.

He took a deep breath, looked at Wan Daorong, and asked, "Is it Master who wants to restrict my freedom, or is it someone else?"

Wan Daorong replied, "I can ensure your freedom and safety within the Shang Qing Sect, but since you’ve come to the Shang Qing Sect, and the Sect Leader knows about the secrets you harbor, he won’t allow you to leave so easily."

Yang Fei had been at the Shang Qing Sect for more than half a year, and he had some understanding of the current Sect Master.

This person has the surname Zhantai, named Chunqiu, and joined the Shang Qing Sect more than two thousand years ago along with Wan Daorong, Wang Yuanxiao, and others. Yet, with his exceptional talent, he stood out among the geniuses like Wan Daorong and Wang Yuanxiao, becoming the most formidable disciple of his generation.

If it weren’t for the later emergence of the prodigy Shen Wanjing in the Southern Domain Cultivation World, Zhantai Chunqiu would have undoubtedly been the most gifted and extraordinary talent in the last fifty thousand years.

A thousand years ago, he entered the Half Step Dao Unity Cultivation Realm, eight hundred years before Shen Wanjing reached this stage.

Moreover, for more than eight hundred years, Zhantai Chunqiu had not left the Shang Qing Sect. Although he no longer dealt with daily affairs of the sect, no one, including the notoriously domineering couple of Tianzhu Peak, dared to defy his orders.

At this moment, hearing Wan Daorong mention the Sect Master of the Shang Qing Sect, Yang Fei’s mind recalled the day he first arrived at the sect half a year ago and saw that massive, golden Primordial Spirit Dharma Form.

Recalling the terrifying power of that Primordial Spirit Dharma Form, Yang Fei felt a profound sense of despair and powerlessness.

"Master, I am just worried about those friends of mine, so I wish to accompany them to Shifang City. Once they are settled, I will promptly return to the Shang Qing Sect. Wouldn’t that be acceptable?" Yang Fei tentatively asked.

Even though he could leave the Southern Domain World at any time with the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl, he still wanted the opportunity to remain freely within it.

After all, the world of the Southern Domain was vast, offering many more opportunities for his growth.

If Zhantai Chunqiu truly believed that just because he came to the Shang Qing Sect, he could treat him like a prisoner, confining him within its bounds and arbitrarily restricting his freedom, then he’d rather return to Earth to continue biding his time.

Wan Daorong’s face showed a troubled expression. After some thought, he shook his head and said, "I’m afraid my senior brother won’t allow it."

Yang Fei felt immense disappointment in his heart.

If he had to stay in the Southern Domain World but could only be free near the Shang Qing Sect, he would not be content.

Wan Daorong could naturally see the discontent and frustration in Yang Fei’s heart. He sighed and comforted him, "Fei’er, it’s not that the Sect Leader wishes to bind your freedom. Rather, with your current Cultivation Realm, you aren’t absolutely safe in the Southern Domain Cultivation World. In fact, the Sect Leader’s actions are a form of protection for you. Besides, from a master’s perspective, it is also concerning for you to wander through other regions of the Southern Domain, given your importance."

Yang Fei nodded silently.

He understood Wan Daorong’s reasoning, but he couldn’t accept his freedom being restricted.

"So, if I can’t step into the Divinity Transformation Realm or a stronger realm, I won’t have absolute freedom in the Southern Domain World and will be imprisoned by the Shang Qing Sect, is that right?" Yang Fei asked.

Wan Daorong’s expression turned awkward, unsure of how to respond.

Yang Fei continued, "And what’s more brutal is that the Shang Qing Sect definitely won’t allow me to grow to the Divinity Transformation Realm, correct?"

Wan Daorong’s facial muscles twitched, and his gaze shifted, reluctant to meet Yang Fei’s eyes.

"Heh..." Yang Fei let out a light laugh, half in self-mockery and half in extreme anger.

Wan Daorong sighed once more, looking into Yang Fei’s eyes, and said, "Fei’er, this is the harsh reality of the Cultivation World. Genetic Liquid Medicine is too important, and as long as you hold this crucial resource, you’ll inevitably be targeted by powerful forces. As for your worries about growth, I think you needn’t worry about that right now.

Even though you have extraordinary talent, you’ve just barely reached the middle stage of Core Formation. To succeed in reaching the Nascent Soul Stage and then cultivate to the early stage of the Divinity Transformation Realm, the path is truly too distant and long.

Who can predict the future? So, Fei’er, put your distractions aside for now and stay peacefully by my side. I’ll give you all my teachings and risk my life to protect you.

If you can prove your absolute loyalty to the Shang Qing Sect, the Tian Nan Peak lineage could be yours to inherit. If, in the future, you truly demonstrate extraordinary talent and become a Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator, there’s no reason you couldn’t become the future Sect Leader of Shang Qing Sect."

Yang Fei’s feelings of discontent and anger gradually faded.

Wan Daorong’s affection for him was genuine. Previously, to protect him, Wan Daorong had even severed ties with Wang Yuanxiao and Bai Xumi, speaking those resolute words.

Now, he was comforting him again, pointing out future paths and development directions, deserving of being called "Master."

Indeed, why should he be in such a hurry?

If he were in Zhantai Chunqiu’s place, he wouldn’t easily let someone like him leave the influence of the Shang Qing Sect either.

As Wan Daorong said, he only needed to prove his loyalty to the Shang Qing Sect and show extraordinary Cultivation Talent, and he might have the chance to take over the sect in the future.

Once he had control of the Shang Qing Sect, and Earth people wanted to settle in the Southern Domain, who would dare oppose them?

Having adjusted his mindset slightly, Yang Fei said to Wan Daorong, "Master, I am truly concerned about Li Xuanyu. Besides, Shifang City is within the Nancheng Domain, and I’m with Senior Brother Shen, so there won’t be any danger. Could you please speak to the Sect Master for me? I will return shortly."

Wan Daorong furrowed his brows.

He saw the determination and persistence in Yang Fei’s eyes.

After thinking it over, he said, "You don’t mind me accompanying you, do you?"

Hearing this, Yang Fei was delighted and said, "Thank you, Master, for granting my request."

Wan Daorong gave a bitter smile and said, "I’ll do my best to help you, but as for whether Senior Brother Zhantai will agree, I’m not sure. Let me ask him for you."

Saying this, he waved his hand toward the smooth stone wall in front of him.

Instantly, Yang Fei felt a powerful and strange magnetic force field surging violently within the training room.

Soon, a patch of fluorescent light appeared on the stone wall, and amidst the flickering light, a human face suddenly emerged.

Yang Fei was dumbfounded.

Video call?

Just as this thought crossed his mind, Yang Fei’s heart shuddered, and he felt a chill.

That emerging face glanced at him.

Though it was merely an illusory face, this casual glance made Yang Fei feel his legs go soft, and the oppressive awe he felt half a year ago before the Dharma Golden Body swept over him once more.

"Fei’er, hurry and pay respects to the Sect Leader Uncle," Wan Daorong’s voice timely resounded in his ears.
