"That's not necessarily true. Others might not accept it, but that woman is the Domain Lord's mother. If our Qingming Immortal Sect doesn't accept her, wouldn't we be offending the Domain Lord?"
I've heard that the Domain Lord's family members aren't very strong; they all have Heavenly Spiritual Roots.
Do you know the number one sect in the Third Heaven? They actually took in a bunch of useless people with Heavenly Spiritual Roots. If they hadn't pulled some strings or used underhanded methods, who would believe that the number one sect in the Third Heaven would accept trash who ascended from the lower realms!
A handsome man in the crowd stood with his hands behind his back, speaking with an arrogant expression.
He is Tantai Hao, the number one genius of the Qingming Immortal Sect, and the sect leader's closed-door disciple. He is twenty-two years old this year and has only been in the sect for three years, but he is already an eighth-level Void Realm expert.
Chu Wanwan hadn't paid much attention to the whispers among the Qingming Immortal Sect disciples. However, when Tantai Hao spoke those words, she frowned and turned to look at him.
When Tantai Hao saw Chu Wanwan looking at him, he was not afraid at all; instead, he looked up at her with his head held high.
Chu Wanwan's lips curled slightly as she turned to look at Tantai Hao. "This little disciple seems quite dissatisfied with me and my family?"
As soon as Chu Wanwan finished speaking, Tantai Hao felt a powerful pressure coming towards him, forcing him to kneel on the ground, with a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
But he still held on, gritting his teeth as he said, "Lord of the Domain, I'm just telling the truth. Are you using your strength to bully the weak?"
Chu Wanwan snorted coldly: "Ha! Bullying the weak, shouldn't the law of the jungle prevail in your mind? You are powerful, so you can insult low-level immortal cultivators as trash without any restraint."
Since I'm stronger than you, I can naturally treat you as trash.
"What? You have a problem with that?"
"No objection! No objection! Lord Domain Master, my disciple is young and impetuous, and doesn't know any better. I hope you will be magnanimous and forgive him this time," Qing Mingzi hurriedly said, cold sweat already beading on his forehead.
Chu Wanwan glanced at Qing Mingzi, then looked at Tantai Hao on the ground, and said, "Spare him? That depends on whether he admits his mistake."
"You unfilial disciple, why don't you apologize to the Domain Lord? The Domain Lord is the ruler of the Immortal Realm, how dare you speak of him so presumptuously?"
Qingmingzi glared angrily at Tantai Hao. This kid, relying on his high talent, couldn't stand this or that, not knowing that there is no absolute fairness in this world?
The Domain Lord is already quite good...
Tantai Hao was still unconvinced; what he said wasn't wrong. However, fearing Chu Wanwan, he didn't dare say anything more. He simply didn't apologize, but instead stubbornly stared at her with an angry expression.
"Ha! You're not convinced?"
"You're saying I, Chu Wanwan, got in through connections? Yes, I did get in through connections."
"As the lord of the Immortal Realm, I led the Immortal Clan to exterminate the demons that had plagued the Immortal Realm for tens of thousands of years, repaired the seal of the Demon Realm, and severely injured the Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan's initial Demon Realm."
"If it weren't for me, you would still be on the battlefield beyond the borders, your fates uncertain! Where would you find the opportunity to spout such nonsense here?"
"I've done so much for the Immortal Realm, and you think entrusting my former sect to take care of my family is favoritism? Or using dishonorable means?"
Tantai Hao, his neck stiff, said loudly, "Lord of the Immortal Realm, as the ruler of the Immortal Realm, protecting the Immortal Realm is your duty. It's all within your purview, and there's nothing to be proud of. You shouldn't use your power to seek benefits for your family; that's opening a back door!"
Chu Wanwan laughed angrily: "I opened it again..."
"Young man, you keep saying my daughter used connections to get her family in, may I ask where she used connections?"
Before Chu Wanwan could finish speaking, Chu Lan stepped forward and said:
"I, Chu Lan, have come here and will rely entirely on my own strength to pass the test and gain the opportunity to cultivate in this immortal sect."
My daughter merely gave me an opportunity to try; how is that using connections? If you view this so narrowly, it only shows how petty you are.
Tantai Hao's expression changed slightly, but he still said firmly, "Even if you didn't use connections, what about your children? I've heard that they are just immortal cultivators with Heavenly Spiritual Roots. People like that can't even get into the top immortal sects of the Third Heaven, let alone the lowest-level immortal sects of the Second Heaven!"
“I admit that we asked the Starry Sky Sect to take care of my child, but that came at a price. My daughter owns a spirit mine in the Third Heaven, and now half of the profits from that mine have been given to the Starry Sky Sect by my daughter.”
The Starry Sky Sect rebuilt its sect because of this spirit mine, and by taking advantage of my daughter's status as a domain lord, it quickly became the number one sect in the Third Heaven.
Everyone in the Starry Sky Sect—from the sect leader and elders to the disciples—is deeply grateful to my daughter.
I don't understand how this constitutes my daughter using her power to force the Starry Sky Sect to accept my son and daughter-in-law!
Chu Lan was also somewhat angry. She didn't accept her daughter getting ahead through connections precisely because she was afraid of such rumors circulating in the Immortal Realm. She hadn't expected that there would still be such gossipy people spouting nonsense here.
Chu Lan's words caused a brief silence to fall around him, and Tantai Hao was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.
At this moment, Qingmingzi stepped forward and said, "Madam Chu, please don't be angry. This child is young and impetuous and doesn't think things through. Please don't take it to heart."
Chu Lan took a deep breath and said, "Sect Master, I am not angry, but I do not want my daughter's reputation to be tarnished. My daughter is a kind person and would not easily kill innocent people, which is why she is criticized by some petty people. If it were other powerful figures, how could they tolerate such nonsense?"
Upon hearing Chu Lan's words, Tantai Hao's face showed a hint of lingering fear.
The person before me is the Lord of the Immortal Realm! He is the most powerful person in the Immortal Realm.
You have to understand that in the past, in the Immortal Realm, let alone the Domain Lord, he wouldn't dare offend even immortal cultivators above the sixth level. Back then, the Immortal Realm was purely a place where strength reigned supreme. An ordinary disciple like him with no backing could be killed with a single disagreement, and no one would seek justice for him.
Tantai Hao's lingering fear intensified, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He realized that he had been far too impulsive and reckless this time.
However, his pride as the number one genius disciple of the Azure Nether Immortal Sect prevented him from lowering his head, leaving him standing there awkwardly, speechless.
Upon seeing this, the sect leader of the Azure Nether Immortal Sect quickly spoke up for him: "Lord of the Domain, Madam Chu, it is all my fault for failing to properly teach this boy, allowing him to offend you both. I will certainly discipline him properly, and I hope you two will be magnanimous and not hold it against him."
Chu Wanwan snorted coldly: "Sect Master, your disciple is so arrogant. If you don't discipline him properly, who knows what trouble he will cause in the future."
The sect leader nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, the domain lord is right to reprimand you."
Chu Lan said, "Fine, as long as he can change his ways in the future, let's let this matter rest for now."
At this moment, the elder in charge of the test said, "Madam Chu, the test should not be delayed any longer. Please enter the secret realm."
Chu Lan responded and ignored the others, heading towards the secret realm.
