After learning how to enter the Seven Gods Sect, Ling stayed at the Mei family's residence. In the days that followed, he never forgot to improve his cultivation.
This continued for two months—
"They're here! They're here!!"
"Don't push me!"
"Hey, hey, hey—you..."
"Keep your voice down, someone's coming..."
...
Sometime later, the sky darkened considerably, and the sun that was originally in the sky disappeared into the clouds, as if a huge hand was holding it firmly.
And in mid-air, two people were faintly suspended.
"Look, it's the Seven Gods Sect!"
"I didn't expect the Seven Gods Sect to actually send someone!"
"Quickly! Go and inform the master!"
"I'll go inform Young Master Ling!"
...
Upon seeing this, the two servants guarding the gate of the Mei family hurriedly ran into the courtyard without stopping, followed by Ling, Jiang Quan, Mei Shiqi, and the rest of the Mei family who rushed over with them.
Mei Jingtian pulled Ling back as she was about to step forward and said earnestly:
Are you really sure?
Zero nodded firmly and said:
"Yes, I must go. Not only to rescue my master, but also for the truth!"
Having said all that, Mei Jingtian knew further persuasion was futile. He patted Ling on the shoulder and said in a deep voice:
"Be careful inside, and remember not to be reckless. Always prioritize your own safety!"
Ling nodded heavily, turning his gaze to Jiang Quan.
"Don't worry, I'll stay at the Mei family's house and wait for you to come back. We're going back together!"
Jiang smiled indifferently, seemingly unconcerned whether Ling left or not.
However, upon closer inspection, one would notice that his hands were already clenched into fists inside his sleeves, revealing his inner turmoil at that moment.
"I'm leaving now, goodbye everyone..."
Zero turned and headed towards the two people in mid-air.
"Spiritual power level: Level 2 Spirit Saint, meets the requirements, can enter the Seven Gods Sect."
"Come with us."
As the two spoke, they exchanged a glance. Zero suddenly felt a force surge around him, lifting him off the ground and carrying him in the direction the two were...
The clouds dispersed, and the sky returned to its azure blue.
...
In mid-air stands a palace, enormous, magnificent yet ancient, with pavilions and towers stretching as far as the eye can see, and winding corridors, each embracing its own terrain, arranged in a mysterious and unpredictable pattern. It seems to have existed for countless millennia, spotless yet giving one a sense of the dust and grime that pervades the palace.
The palace is surrounded by twelve pillars, and if you look closely, you can see that the patterns on them are based on the twelve zodiac animals.
The twelve zodiac totem poles, exuding a strange aura, stood calmly guarding the palace.
Is this the Seven Gods Sect?
It looks like it has a long history...
In the past, sects were all mysterious and sacred. For some reason, when Zero saw the Seven Gods Sect, he did not feel any sacredness at all. Instead, it was full of evil and eeriness.
Just as Zero was still observing, the two disciples who had brought him up earlier suddenly appeared in front of him and said expressionlessly:
“Go there yourself.”
They pointed to the "Monkey" totem, one of the twelve zodiac animals, arranged around the palace.
Ling was still wondering when he saw the two of them leap into the "Ugly Ox" totem pole and disappear.
"So it was a portal..."
Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and with a mix of curiosity and trepidation, stepped into the "Shen Monkey" totem.
