System's Super Sect-Chapter 482 - 480. Long Ke Wants to Join the Sect!

Exiting Rao Mountain.

Once the kitchen was no longer shrouded in mist, Long Ke, emerging from hidden cultivation in the Main Hall, immediately noticed.

At the thought of eating Spirit Rice, she quickly headed towards the kitchen.

But when she arrived, the kitchen was empty.

Except for that Uncle Wang, there was no one else.

As she was walking out, she noticed the kitchen had suddenly grown taller, with an additional layer and a more grandiose feel. Moreover, everything her eyes passed over seemed to have changed—the well looked different now. She had been too focused on entering the kitchen earlier to notice. The three words engraved on the well caught her eye fleetingly, and a refreshing sensation washed over her mind.

It felt just like the clarity after washing one’s face in the morning.

As she pulled up the bucket while grasping the rope, Long Ke muttered, "What exactly happened in the kitchen during those days shrouded in that white mist?"

Just as she finished speaking, she heard Uncle Wang pipe up from the side.

"Don’t wait up, there won’t be food until evening... Young girls, thinking of nothing but eating all day, not even practicing cultivation." Uncle Wang sighed, continuing to work on his wood carving, sporting a proud smile of labor’s reward.

"This old man, never fully listens, yet still responds,"

Long Ke rolled her eyes at Uncle Wang’s back, but quickly thought about how he was just an ordinary person and refrained from arguing.

Uncle Wang surely doesn’t know the benefits Spirit Rice brings to a Spirit Body.

Otherwise, how could he say such things?

Improving a Spirit Body requires either celestial materials and earthly treasures or relentless cultivation. If eating alone could enhance it, how many would dream of such a thing?

"The water tastes better."

After taking a sip of the well water, Long Ke couldn’t help but exclaim, then she drank down the whole scoop. Just as she was about to drink more, thinking the second scoop wouldn’t taste as good, she reluctantly set down the gourd ladle.

Every time she saw the good things of the Immortal Sect that she couldn’t obtain freely, she thought about joining the sect.

But then she remembered that she was in the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression and also Wen Ping’s aunt. Becoming an elder under Wen Ping would be quite stifling.

After wandering around a bit, seeing the desolate Yunlan Mountain, Long Ke was puzzled as to where everyone had gone and muttered, "Twilight is nearly here, where is that kid and the people from Immortal Sect?"

Could they all be exiting Rao Mountain?

Just as she thought about checking to urge them to cook, she heard Huai Ye and the others approaching.

Huai Ye asked, "Zhao Qing, do you want the Fire Attribute Innate Anomaly Vein from the Thousand Layers or the Wind Attribute Anomaly Vein from Wind Valley?"

Zhao Qing thought for a moment, but before she could speak, Yang Lele chimed in, "Actually, I quite like both the Fire Dragon Skill and the Hurricane Skill. The Fire Dragon Skill is handsome! The Hurricane Skill is commanding! Wow, it’s so hard to choose."

"Didn’t ask you, why are you talking so much? Besides, if you learn the Fire Dragon Skill, it definitely won’t be handsome. And if you learn the Hurricane Skill, it will definitely be sneaky."

Huai Ye rolled her eyes at Yang Lele, leaving him speechless.

"You’re lucky you’re a girl, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

"Otherwise, I’d punch you."

"You wouldn’t dare!"

Huai Ye lifted her foot to kick, Yang Lele saw it was going poorly and quickly ran, and thus the two began to chase each other.

Watching this scene, Lin Kewu and the others couldn’t help but laugh.

"Have they always been like this?" Wanyan asked.

Lin Kewu nodded, "Sister Yang Xi said it’s been like this ever since they entered the sect."

Hearing this, Wanyan couldn’t help but smile and shake her head. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

They really are a comical pair.

But just as she smiled broadly, she bumped into Long Ke, and her smile quickly faded.

"Guest Minister Zhao."

"Guest Minister Zhao."

Everyone quickly bowed in salute.

Long Ke raised an eyebrow and softly asked, "What were you just talking about? What Wind Attribute?"

Completely forgetting how Spirit Rice had been reverberating in her mind.

Everyone exchanged glances, and Zhao Qing quickly replied, "Guest Minister Zhao, it’s like this: Senior Lan Peng discovered a new Trial Land in Wind Valley. The Wind Attribute is the product of that trial, and if you pass it, you can obtain the Wind Attribute Innate Anomaly Vein."

"You all may leave."

Long Ke’s brows suddenly furrowed, and her expression became somewhat heavy.

She felt she had underestimated the person behind Wen Ping; he created the Wind Valley Secret Realm with a power beyond the Five Elements.

How powerful is that person? She dared not imagine.

But she really desired that Wind Attribute Innate Anomaly Vein.

Why, outside Heaven and Earth Lake, do the stronger powers delve deeper into Vein Techniques? Because only by creating new attack Vein Techniques can one consistently win in battles, ensuring the sect’s continued strength. Even the strongest Vein Technique weakens over time—not because the technique itself weakens, but because more and more techniques can counter it.

"Wind Attribute Innate Anomaly Vein."

Long Ke murmured once more, then fell silent.

But a thought suddenly sprang into her mind.

Join the Sect!

She must join the sect!

For the Wind Attribute Innate Anomaly Vein—being able to control a power beyond the Five Elements, she could shine brightly outside Heaven and Earth Lake.

"Where is Sect Leader Wen?"

Upon reaching outside Wind Valley, Long Ke hurriedly asked Qin Shan, who had just emerged from within.

Qin Shan quickly responded, "Guest Minister Zhao, the Sect Leader is inside Wind Valley researching the Trial Land; he may not come out for a while."

"This guy."

Long Ke muttered somewhat grumpily, then remained standing where she was.

Obviously, he already had an Innate Anomaly Vein, so why waste time in there?

Seeing this, Qin Shan hesitated to leave or stay and could only ask, "Guest Minister Zhao, we’re about to have a meal. Won’t you..."

"Not eating."

Long Ke simply replied with two words.

"In that case, we’ll take our leave first." After Qin Shan saluted with his fists together and withdrew, though everyone was bemused. Why was the usually Spirit Rice-coveting Guest Minister Zhao, who would usually rush to find the Sect Leader to discuss things for missing a little bit of Spirit Rice, suddenly uninterested today?

Could it be because she learned about the Wind Attribute Anomaly Vein?

"Looks like she truly knows." Yu Mo muttered from the side.

Qin Shan grinned, responding, "One Wind Attribute Anomaly Vein has changed the appearance of the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression, it seems. I better hurry up and secure it myself."

...

Inside Wind Valley.

Wen Ping used his Fire Spirit Body to fend off the Wind Blades, stepping steadily inward, heading toward the deepest part of the stone path. The raging Wind Blades lashed out, striking the Fire Spirit Body, yet they could not stop Wen Ping from advancing.

However, Wen Ping’s intention was not to achieve any result this time.

He wanted to understand everything within this trial and analyze it carefully, to lay a solid foundation for future endeavors and provide strategies for the sect’s elders and disciples, as this was the Immortal Sect’s first "dungeon."

After walking for about one hour, Wen Ping found himself at the entrance of a stone cave. The wind was blocked by the stone mountain, and upon entering the cave, the continuous Wind Blades ceased, "These Wind Blades may not be much for me, but if relying solely on the Purity Body, one cannot travel far in these violent Wind Blades, and the Meridian Gate cannot sustain the Vein Qi for the Spirit Body for long in this environment."

It seems the requirements for entering this "dungeon" start at the Profound Realm. But if one truly enters at the Profound Realm, defeating the Wind Demon would take a considerable amount of time.

Once I get back, I need to tell them not to overthink it. Spending a year to get a Wind Attribute Anomaly Vein isn’t as good as getting a Hellfire Anomaly Vein.

The Hellfire Anomaly Vein is not bad either!

Speaking of the interior scene of the cave, the path extends upward, and how far it goes, Wen Ping couldn’t sense. Slowly moving forward, the stone walls emitted a faint glow on both sides, just bright enough to illuminate the path underfoot. Each step echoed with only his footsteps, akin to a treasure hunt in a ghostless cave, searching for the gold and silver treasures left by humans thousands of years ago.

After a while, Wen Ping asked, "System, what is the Wind Demon’s power level?"

"The Wind Demon’s power matches the strength of the opponent; it adapts to the strength of the challenger. For someone at the Divine Profound Realm, it exists at the Divine Profound Upper Realm."

Upon hearing this from the system, Wen Ping wasn’t pleased but continued to ask, "It shouldn’t be that simple, right?"

"Of course, it’s not that simple. The power of the Divine Profound Upper Realm only manifests during the trial as its offensive strength. Its true formidable nature lies in the fact that wind is formless and omnipresent. Who can capture the wind?"

Wen Ping suddenly stopped in his tracks, seemingly taken aback by these words.

After a long silence, he suddenly asked,

"Does it have a soul?"
