"I never expected you to be a spiritual cultivator."
After Le Tianya left, Hong Ye and the others immediately surrounded Qin Xin.
"Please forgive me for not informing my senior brothers and sisters about this matter."
Qin Xin spoke very politely to the people in front of him. He knew that people like Hong Ye, Xiahou Chu, and Yang Ruoyi, who were on good terms with him, were somewhat envious of him after learning that he was a spiritual cultivator, but they were also happy for Qin Xin.
However, other people may have different thoughts. After all, spiritual cultivation is a very mysterious thing, and its attack methods are also very unique, which naturally makes many people have other ideas.
Qin Xin didn't care about these things. In the Tianxuan Continent, the path of martial arts cultivation had already been established, and it was uncertain whether spiritual cultivation was truly as powerful as martial arts cultivation.
Moreover, spiritual cultivation traditions have been severed for so many years that even the inheritances that martial artists receive are not perfect, and if they continue to cultivate them, they are likely to become a burden.
"Haha, Brother Qin Xin, if you ever start your own sect in the future, be sure to let me know, and I'll help you manage it."
"Me too."
Xiahou Chu and Yang Ruoyi also joked about it from the side.
Upon hearing this, Hong Ye looked somewhat dejected. "You should all stay in the Tianxuan Sect."
Hearing Hong Ye's helpless words, the group realized that his status was no longer what it used to be.
Qin Xin and Xiahou Chu exchanged glances, then bowed respectfully and said, "We will obey the young sect leader's orders!"
Seeing their expressions, several black lines immediately appeared on Hong Ye's forehead. "You guys!"
"Hahahaha!" Qin Xin, Xiahou Chu, and the others all burst into laughter.
However, Yang Ruoyi did not laugh loudly at this moment. Instead, amidst the laughter, her timid voice quietly came out, "I will stay and keep Senior Brother Hong company."
“Look at all of you, Junior Sister Yang is the most sensible,” Hong Ye said, pointing at the group.
Of course, as soon as she finished speaking, several cheering voices suddenly rang out, causing Yang Ruoyi's face to flush red.
It's no secret to outsiders that Yang Ruoyi's feelings for Hong Ye have long been apparent.
However, Hong Ye, being a rough and uncultured man, seemed to lack such thoughts. Despite the girl's repeated expressions of affection, he did not respond at all.
"Ahem." Amidst their playful banter, they heard a soft cough and realized that the elders and the others had not yet left.
"Elder," the group said hesitantly, like children who had done something wrong, feeling somewhat impolite.
After all, sects are different from families and the outside world, and they have their own rules; otherwise, it would be difficult to manage a sect.
"It's alright. The Heavenly Profound Sect doesn't have these rules. When I was young, I was just like you. I still feel a bit nostalgic about it."
"However, of those guys, only my brother and I are still alive."
As she spoke, a hint of sadness appeared in Feng Lu's eyes, but it vanished in an instant. "The Yunxi Domain Grand Competition is coming soon. You should prepare well and try to get some spots to represent Tianxuan Sect in the Nine Domains Martial Arts Competition."
"This concerns the status of my Yunxi Domain in the extraterritorial battlefield, and you all must do your utmost."
"Yes, Elder!"
Qin Xin and the others also gave a firm and resounding reply.
"Alright, you guys should go to the Martial Tower in the next few days. Feng Lian will teach you well and help you improve your strength."
Seeing the resolute expressions on the faces of the people before him, Feng Bi smiled and waved for them to leave.
"Um, Elder, can I cultivate on my own?"
Just as everyone turned to leave, Hong Ye quietly stepped forward and spoke somewhat awkwardly.
"If you don't go, I will have Feng Lan come and invite you in person!"
Feng Bi answered calmly.
However, upon hearing that he was to be invited personally, Hong Ye immediately lowered his head like a wilted eggplant and walked towards Qin Xin and the others.
"What's wrong, Senior Brother Hong? It's just Elder Fenglian guiding our cultivation, why are you so unwilling?"
Xiahou Chu saw Hong Ye walk over dejectedly and asked, somewhat puzzled.
You'll understand when the time comes.
Hong Ye forced a smile onto his reluctant face, without explaining why.
This left Xiahou Chu, who was standing to the side somewhat bewildered, scratching his head, not understanding the meaning behind these words.
After hearing this, Qin Xin and Yang Ruoyi exchanged a glance, both of them having roughly guessed what was going on, but neither of them said it directly.
"By the way, why are the Cloud Tide Domain Grand Competition and the Nine Domains Martial Arts Tournament related to the extraterritorial battlefield?"
As Qin Xin walked, something occurred to him, and he asked with some curiosity.
"I have heard that the extraterrestrial battlefield has existed since ancient times. It does not exist on the Tianxuan Continent. There are different races in it, and they fight each other every day. Once the extraterrestrial battlefield is defeated, the continent behind those people will be occupied by other races."
"As for the Nine Domains Martial Arts Tournament, it seems that this is because there are strong people from all nine domains who have entered the battlefield outside the domains, and each domain guards a different area."
"Some of these areas are extremely dangerous, where countless powerful individuals have perished. Of course, some areas are very safe, where one's strength can be well preserved."
"The Nine Domains held the Nine Domains Martial Arts Tournament so that the strong in each domain could stay in a relatively safe area. Only those whose domains achieved a high ranking could choose which area to stay in."
"This Nine Domains Martial Arts Tournament is held every ten years, which is also the time when all the passages to the outer battlefield are closed. Therefore, after the tournament ends, the martial artists from each domain of the outer battlefield will change their garrison areas according to their rankings."
After hearing Hong Ye's explanation, Qin Xin finally understood why the Grand Elder was not worried at all about the Tianxuan Sect being surrounded by the Xuantian Sword Sect and the Ziwei Sect, and why the Sect Master Le Tianya was able to return to the sect.
As they were chatting, they arrived at the Martial Tower of Tianxuan Mountain.
Looking at the Martial Tower in front of him, Hong Ye hesitated for a moment, as if he dared not continue forward.
"Senior Brother Hong, what's wrong?"
Yang Ruoyi noticed immediately when she saw Hong Ye stop, as if all her attention was on him.
"It's okay. I'm about to go through a trial that's worse than death. Let me cheer myself up first."
Hong Ye patted his chest, as if to comfort himself.
"Come in, everyone!"
Suddenly, a somewhat aged voice entered their minds.
This sudden transmission of Yuan energy caused Hong Ye to hang his head and follow the others into the Martial Tower.
"Elder Feng!"
Looking at the old man in blue sitting in the Martial Tower, the group spoke respectfully.
"Come with me, everyone."
After glancing at the five people in front of him, Feng Lian waved his sleeve lightly, and it seemed as if the power of law was surging, and some of the surrounding formations were directly removed.
Qin Xin and the others followed behind, looking at the martial arts manuals around the Martial Tower, and felt a sense of excitement in their hearts.
However, everyone knows the rules of the Martial Tower, so these martial arts manuals can only be looked at and left alone.
After arriving at the very center of the Martial Tower, a mysterious array appeared in front of them.
"Relax your mind and do not resist. Follow me into the space inside this tower!"
After activating the formation, Feng Lian's somewhat aged voice reached the ears of the five people.
Qin Xin followed the instructions and, as he relaxed his mind, he felt a passage forming within the formation. Then, his figure vanished directly within the tower.
The mysterious formation still radiated a dazzling light.
