Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 412 - 407: Unwritten Rules of the Great Immortal Domain

"Brother Ding, Junior Sister Wen, now that we are companions, I'll speak my mind."

After introducing herself, Tao Xiaomei hesitated briefly before speaking up.

Wen Zhixi smiled slightly, "Of course, Senior Tao, please speak."

Tao Xiaomei nodded, "You are here to participate in the Sect Disciples selection, aren't you?"

Ding Huan, puzzled, asked, "Junior Tao, aren't you here for the Sect Disciples selection?"

Seeing the other person addressing him as 'Senior Brother,' Ding Huan couldn't be bothered to correct her and simply addressed her as 'Junior Sister' as well.

Tao Xiaomei shook her head, "I'm not, because I know I definitely won't be selected, so I'm here to trade some items."

"Why? I see your aptitude is not bad. Can't you enter the Dao Conference?" Wen Zhixi was equally puzzled.

Tao Xiaomei's cultivation was at the Golden Immortal Late Stage, and she didn't appear to be of a very old age. With reasonable aptitude, why was she so sure she would not be selected?

With a self-mocking smile, Tao Xiaomei said, "If we're talking about aptitude, I am qualified to join the Immortal Sect. Do you know why the Immortal Sect only selects disciples during the Dao Conferences?"

Without waiting for Ding Huan to ask, she continued, "Because the Immortal Sect doesn't want to recruit too many Loose Cultivators. They prefer recruiting clan descendants and children of well-known powerhouses.

Those who attend the Great Immortal Domain Dao Conference are mostly descendants of powerful families or Sects. As for Loose Cultivators, there are very few.

You just asked whether it's about not being able to enter the Dao Conference. That is one reason, but not the main one."

Ding Huan frowned, reminiscing about how on Earth, there was still a college entrance examination like a carp leaping over the dragon gate. Impoverished students could also change their fate through the exam.

Had he come here only to find that ordinary Loose Cultivators were deprived of the chance to join an Immortal Sect?

Tao Xiaomei sighed, "Not recruiting Loose Cultivators has almost become an unwritten rule among all major Immortal Sects.

They think that those who are most fierce and vicious tend to come from Loose Cultivators, considering them uneducated and desperate to enhance their cultivation at any cost, even going so far as to kill their fellow Sect members, or even their parents or master..."

"That can't be a blanket judgement, right? There are such people among Sect disciples too, and there are also kind-hearted ones among Loose Cultivators," Wen Zhixi couldn't help but interject.

She felt that this unwritten rule was somewhat nonsensical and utterly unreasonable.

Tao Xiaomei said, "It's because such things have indeed happened. Haven't you heard about the Thirty-Three Paths?"

Ding Huan and Wen Zhixi both shook their heads; they had just arrived in this place, how could they have heard of the Thirty-Three Paths?

Seeing that neither of them knew, Tao Xiaomei further explained, "Eleven hundred years ago, in the Great Immortal Domain, there was a very famous Immortal Sect called Thirty-Three Paths..."

Suddenly, a noisy commotion interrupted Tao Xiaomei.

She quickly pulled Ding Huan and Wen Zhixi aside, whispering, "It's people from the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect and Qingxu Sect arriving. They are staying at the Eternal Immortal Tower, let's wait until they pass."

Ding Huan also quieted down, while Wen Zhixi widened her eyes looking at the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect, her desire to join this Immortal Sect was overwhelming.

As the disciples from these two major Immortal Sects arrived, it wasn't just their group that made way; cultivators all along the street stepped aside.

Once this group had passed, the street returned to its former bustle and activity.

This clearly showed the high status Immortal Sects held in the eyes of Loose Cultivators.

Tao Xiaomei, curious, said, "Usually, they only come a few days before the Immortal Domain Dao Conference. It's so early this year."

"Senior Tao, may I ask, is it very difficult to join the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect?" Wen Zhixi couldn't resist asking.

Tao Xiaomei sighed, "Listen to what I was just about to say, and you'll understand how difficult it is. Back then, the Sect Master of Thirty-Three Paths was Shi Li, a very kind and incredibly powerful senior.

At that time, in the Great Immortal Domain, there weren't many rules or unwritten norms, and it was easier for Loose Cultivators to enter Immortal Sects than it is now.

Once, during an Immortal Sect disciple recruitment conference, Sect Master Shi Li, having nothing better to do, also attended. He noticed a cultivator whose Dantian had been destroyed and meridians were torn apart.

For such a cultivator, restoring their Dantian and meridians was nearly impossible. Even if possible, no Immortal Sect would want to spend such substantial effort and resources on an ordinary Loose Cultivator.

Senior Shi heard that this disciple was framed by someone.

Because his friend was worried that he, having better aptitude, would snatch the opportunity to join the Xianwu Palace, he schemed against him, and the slots for joining Xianwu Palace at that time were limited to one..."

"What a vicious person," Wen Zhixi couldn't help interrupting.

Tao Xiaomei shook her head; was that considered vicious?

"Senior Shi was kind-hearted and also very fond of talented individuals, so he took this unwanted person, who was like a stray dog, back to Thirty-Three Paths, alas..."

By this point, she herself couldn't help but sigh.

"Sect Master Shi Li then expended a great deal of effort and used the treasures accumulated by the Sect over many years to finally restore the disciple's Dantian and meridians.

Indeed, the disciple was extraordinarily talented and reached the Da Yi Immortal within just a hundred years. Two hundred years later, he crossed the Daluo Immortal Realm and stepped into the Luo Tian Immortal, and three hundred years later, he entered the Immortal King Realm..."

Hearing that it had taken only three hundred years to reach the Immortal King Realm, Wen Zhixi couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment. Even for those who had cultivated from True Immortal status, this was a remarkable talent.

Her father was Luo Tian Immortal, but no matter how many sets of three hundred years he cultivated, he had never stepped into the Immortal King Realm.

In her eyes, her father's talent was absolutely extraordinary.

As for herself, it was even more impossible to reach the Immortal King Realm in three hundred years.

Junior Tao continued,

"Senior Shi Li was overjoyed to see his disciple doing so well and tried every means to help him.

But he never expected that his disciple, in pursuit of refining the Dao Yu Immortal Bone, would betray him and even assault his Taoist couple.

Because Senior Rong Xiyu, Senior Shi Li's Taoist couple, had an Immortal Jade Dao Body, dual cultivation with her could change the cultivator's immortal bone.

After killing his master and assaulting his mistress, this beast worried about the incident getting exposed and decided to eradicate everyone in the Thirty-Three Paths.

No matter how secretive he was, the information was eventually leaked.

After that incident, the Immortal Sects of the Great Immortal Domain developed a prejudice against Loose Cultivators. In their eyes, Loose Cultivators were ungrateful and exceedingly vicious and cruel..."

Ding Huan remained silent, as he had seen many such things himself.

There were very few who remembered kindness, but too many who repaid kindness with treachery.

The saying "favors forgotten in the face of minor offenses" was certainly not made up.

"What was that beast's name? Was he later captured?" Wen Zhixi clenched her fists, unable to believe such creatures existed in the world.

"His name was Fu Yuxing. After this incident was exposed, more than a dozen Immortal Kings from the Great Immortal Domain hunted him down.

In the end, he fled to the Banting Sea and it is said that he was driven into the Gray Sea. Entering the Gray Sea spells certain death, so he's probably dead."

After Junior Tao finished, she shook her head. Every time she thought of this beast's deeds, she felt a bitter hatred.

Not just her, almost all Loose Cultivators probably loathed this beast to death.

Wen Zhixi was silent for a long while before she spoke, "There are still many righteous seniors in the Great Immortal Domain, otherwise how could Senior Shi and his Taoist couple's revenge be avenged?"

Junior Tao's eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm, but she didn't explain.

In her view, Wen Zhixi was simply too naive about human nature.

The many powerful cultivators of the Great Immortal Domain who pursued Fu Yuxing were not motivated by goodness or a pursuit of justice.

It was because Yu Shuli possessed a powerful artifact known as the Heaven and Earth Scale, which ended up in the hands of Fu Yuxing. They wanted to seize the Heaven and Earth Scale.

"Perhaps those strong cultivators had another reason for pursuing Fu Yuxing, Junior Tao, do you know something?" Ding Huan noticed the sarcasm in Junior Tao's eyes and asked.

Junior Tao casually set up a prohibition and lowered her voice, "Because Senior Shi Li possessed a precious artifact called the Heaven and Earth Scale, which later ended up in Fu Yuxing's hands."

Ding Huan's heart sank. If the Heaven and Earth Scale was a treasure like his own iron pot, then Fur Yuxing might not necessarily die in the Gray Sea.

Being at the Immortal King Realm at the time of being hunted, Fu Yuxing had a significant chance of refining the Heaven and Earth Scale.

In other words, even if he couldn't employ divination techniques, he might still survive in the Gray Sea if he had fully refined the iron pot.

If his speculation was correct that Fu Yuxing didn't die, could his encounter with Fu Shuangping in the Billions of Void Swamps be related to Fu Yuxing?

The Tao Fruit he had used, was it Fu Yuxing's?

He had stripped a mark of energy from that Tao Fruit and sealed it.

As soon as he saw Fu Yuxing, he would know whether the Tao Fruit was Fu Yuxing's.

"Brother Ding, I want to visit the Yaochi Yvun Sect no matter what, I won't be content until I try," Wen Zhixi said determinedly.

Even if the Yaochi Yvun Sect didn't accept her, she would still try to find a way to stay on its outskirts.

As long as she didn't obtain the Ten Refining God Soul Technique, she wouldn't be at peace.

Ding Huan nodded, then looked at Junior Tao and said, "Junior Tao, I'm going to the Trading Building to exchange some Immortal Crystals."

Junior Tao pointed at a shop ahead with the sign 'Ancient Road Trading Building' and said, "Let's go to that one, their prices are slightly better than the others."

"Alright, let's go together," Ding Huan followed Junior Tao's suggestion.

The Trading Building was crowded. Ding Huan pulled a clerk aside and asked in a low voice, "Do you want Ten Million Year Old Sea Marrow?"

Hearing Ten Million Year Old Sea Marrow, the clerk's eyes lit up.

Ten Million Year Old Sea Marrow couldn't be simply classified as a spiritual item, its value was much higher than many Immortal Spiritual Objects.
