The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

"We have to go back!"

Before Mo Xingjian could speak, Zhou Qing had already solemnly spoken first.

Luo Lingling heard this and smiled slightly, nodding in agreement, "Xiao Qing is right. As the saying goes, 'the darkest place is under the lamp.' Sometimes the most dangerous place is actually the safest. Now we can only follow the crowd so as not to be easily suspected by others."

Mo Xingjian couldn't help but chuckle.

Indeed, his two disciples had remarkably consistent thoughts.

As of now, there was no other choice but to proceed this way.

Actually, he had a way to hide himself and the others and wait until the commotion passed before returning to Taiqing Sect. But there was always a chance of mishap.

They were in the eastern area of Lingyun Mansion, where in addition to the five major sects, there were over a thousand small factions.

These small factions had uneven strength, but sometimes there were one or two cultivators in the Divinity Transformation Realm. When adding the other sects, one could imagine how many powerful beings there were. He couldn't guarantee being able to evade everyone's detection.

Even if he could luckily avoid those in the Divinity Transformation Realm, there were so many sects and countless mortals. Who could guarantee that one or two pairs of eyes wouldn't inadvertently spot their movements?

If, by any chance, a blind cat runs into a dead mouse and someone talks wildly about them, it would be impossible to explain no matter what.

"Let's wait until they pass!" Mo Xingjian agreed to the plan.

Then, the three of them hid.

Mo Xingjian and Luo Lingling occasionally glanced at Zhou Qing, smiles never leaving their faces.

"Exert the 'Void Realm Dharma Aspect' to its utmost. As long as there's no direct probing, they shouldn't discover us," Mo Xingjian instructed.

Zhou Qing nodded, and immediately, all the spiritual power within him vanished, making him appear as an ordinary human.

Luo Lingling did the same, in the blink of an eye turning into a mortal.

"Second Senior Sister, you've cultivated this too?" Zhou Qing marveled.

But he quickly felt that it was a dumb question. Such a divine technique, with Second Senior Sister's personality, no matter how difficult, she would definitely cultivate it.

"Good job, Xiao Qing!" Luo Lingling didn't say much but pinched Zhou Qing's cheek with a grin.

She was delighted to see someone else cultivating the same technique as hers.

The three of them fell silent, waiting patiently, for the whooshing sounds from the sky never ceased.

Countless people seemed to be heading towards the Desert Sea. The nearby sects will be there soon. It was only a matter of time before those further away received the news and rushed over.

[Ignore Points +5]

While waiting quietly and examining himself, Zhou Qing was stunned and soon looked delightedly outside the cave at his master and Second Senior Sister.

The two were focusing intently on the situation outside the cave, ready to seize any opportunity to blend into the crowd.

Ah, this is truly a thrilling multi-person environment.

Moreover, this "multiple people" scenario was far better than he initially anticipated.

Originally, he thought it would be good enough to have Golden Core Realm cultivators present. Unexpectedly, there were not only experts in the Nascent Soul Realm but even those in the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Keep it up, don't notice me yet. Let me gain more points.

[Ignore Points +7]

[Ignore Points +9]

...

Sure enough, the prompts kept ringing, and the points gained were remarkably high.

[Ignore Points +6]

[Ignore Points +8]

[Skill Fragment +1]

...

Zhou Qing listened excitedly. Each prompt was melodious. Heaven knew how long it had been since he gained so many points. He was overjoyed when he finally obtained a skill fragment.

Today was truly a double blessing.

Time passed bit by bit, and Zhou Qing stealthily glanced at his Nascent Fire.

Strictly speaking, it was an accompaniment to the Nascent Soul, now in the shape of a lotus, continuously burning around it.

When Third Senior Brother broke through, there was no Nascent Soul, but the Nascent Fire was born first.

It wasn't supposed to be premature in this manner.

Although he had just advanced to the early Nascent Soul stage, he could easily tear apart mid-stage cultivators, even crush them outright, and could even duel against later stages.

This was the confidence given by being the foremost in the Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown.

He hadn't tried it, but the feeling was intense. And this seemingly ordinary Nascent Fire had a far stronger burn and range than regular ones.

Next, he focused on the Nascent Soul's forehead.

Nascent Souls had different levels. Only those in the Heaven and Earth tiers, aside from the Profound and Yellow tiers, would have special enhancements.

When Third Senior Brother demonstrated to him, his Nascent Soul had a red mark full of frenzied energy on its forehead.

According to what Third Senior Brother said, this was a Nascent Pattern, unique to the top twenty Nascent Souls in the Earth tier.

Being fourteenth among the Earth tier Frenzied Nascent Souls, it allowed the cultivator to temporarily elevate their realm by a minor stage in battle without any side effects and had a thirty percent probability of touching the Divinity Transformation Realm later.

His Nascent Soul, missing any Nascent Pattern, might be mistaken for an ordinary one, but it was highly deceptive.

He then looked at the four-colored flower grasped by his Nascent Soul, full of excitement.

He didn't lack a Nascent Pattern. It had transformed into floral patterns.

Not one, but four in total!
