Chapter 1389 Exploring the Star Shattering Sect (1)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Feeling overjoyed that she would actually get a chance to enter this mysterious sect instead of ending up being chased away like she had experienced so many times in the past whenever she attempted to get into some of the interesting locations she encountered during her travels, the older wandering cultivator smiled from ear to ear to herself before finding a place to sit down not too far away from the three elders who continued their conversation after having finished talking with her.

Although they did glance in her direction from time to time, she didn't mind this and just focused on the path leading up the Ninth Star Peak where the one who would be guiding her was going to come from.

She did try and see if she could see the Ninth Star Peak with her divine sense during all of this, but quickly realized that whenever she tried to look past where the three elders of the Star Shattering Sect were standing and chatting with each other, the path would quickly get covered in a mist that made it impossible for her divine sense to advance more than a few meters up the mountain.

Looking up the mountain without using her divine sense, she could see further, as only the area around the peak of the mountain seemed to be covered in a thin mist.

An illusion formation of some kind and a quite advanced one… Perhaps this is part of the Star Shattering Sect's guardian formation? How awesome!

Narrowing both of her eyes with interest as she thought about this, she only felt more interested in the Star Shattering Sect upon being faced with the terrifying might of the chaotic qi formation that seemed to have completely blurred her vision and made it impossible for her to see anything inside the Star Shattering Sect with her powerful divine sense.

Even if the Star Shattering Sect did have someone at the Soul Ascension Realm, she also clearly understood that this didn't mean that they would automatically have someone skilled in the Dao of Formations. Understanding that someone like that was incredibly rare. Especially someone capable of laying down a formation that surpassed the Domain Lord Realm.

"Hello! Are you the one who wants to have a look around before considering joining the sect?"

Just as she was lost in her own thoughts thinking about the powerful guardian formation that surrounded the Shattered Star Peaks, a cheerful voice woke her up, as she turned to look at a petite woman standing beside the three elders looking at her with a happy smile on her face.

However, that was not important. Instead, it was the fact that she could clearly tell that this woman shouldn't be over the age of hundred but was actually at the Second Stage of the Domain Lord Realm!

Even if placed in the core region of the continent, such talent would warrant the utmost care from those major powers. For someone like that to appear in the Star Shattering Sect that should just have been a smaller power far away from the core region…

Is the Star Shattering Sect perhaps one of those hidden sects I heard about in the past? But if that's the case, it's likely that they are far stronger than even some of the major powers in the core region of the continent!

Knowing far more about the world compared to a certain someone from an independent sect, the older wandering cultivator could not help feeling a shiver run down her spine as she realized that she might be about to enter a legendary hidden sect.

Even though she did know some bits a pieces about hidden sect from her many years travelling the continent, one thing was certain… And that was the fact that even the major powers at the core of the continent feared them to some extent.

She had no idea about the reason for this but guessed that it should be because these hidden sects possessed strength comparable and possibly stronger than those major powers at the core of the continent.

Although normally something that others might find hard to believe given the dominance of those major powers, she understood that there were a lot of things unknown and hidden throughout the continent and she had encountered no small number of weird things that couldn't normally be explained during her time wandering the continent.

For one, before she found herself in the territory of the Star Shattering Sect after having wandered into some kind of ancient teleportation formation by accident, she had travelled through some kind of weird cultish kingdom that revered some kind of stone construct as a god.

Even weirder, she had personally witnessed that strange stone construct fighting and killing someone in the Earth Immortal Realm. Turning it into one of the rare moments where she had witnessed the power of someone in the Earth Immortal Realm.

Even if it was a bit lack luster considering that the stone construct directly slapped the Earth Immortal to death in a single move.

Hopefully, I won't have to go back to that weird kingdom ever again… AH! I FORGOT ABOUT THE ELDER!

Shaking her head as she reminiscence about what had happened a bit before she found herself in the Star Shattering Sect's territory, she suddenly realized that the elder from the Star Shattering Sect had asked her a question a short and now rather long time ago…

"…"

.

And turning to look over, she noticed the petite elder looking over at her with a somewhat worried expression on her face. Clearly thinking that something might have happened to her.

Not again…

"I-I'm sorry for my lack of answer earlier elder, I was just a bit lost in my own thoughts, but I do hope to enter the Star Shattering Sect for a look around." Doing her best to apologize, she made sure to also say that she reaaaally wanted to enter the Star Shattering Sect for a look around the sect.

"This… Don't worry about it, you can follow me, and we can take a look around the sect together. By the way, my name is Shen Xuefeng, you can just call me Xuefeng if you want."

"Thank you! My Name is Shu Yin, or Shushu, a lot of people call me Shushu, so you can call me that as well if you want to, or just Yin? No… That sounds a bit weird… Yin'er? No not my parents… Ehm, ah… Sorry…" Realizing that she was going a bit off into her own world as she responded to what Shen Xuefeng said, Shu Yin quickly apologized again before quietly moving over to follow behind Shen Xuefeng.

"…"

Who didn't really know how to answer this rather eccentric older cultivator. Especially considering that she was someone at the Later Stages of the Domain Lord Realm and should be well into her years but acted like someone even younger than her.

In the end, she didn't really mind, as it would be a good thing in the end if the Star Shattering Sect could recruit such a powerful Domain Lord Realm cultivator, as the sect was still lacking in terms of Domain Lord Realm cultivators, something that was unfortunate but couldn't be helped with the recent expansion of the sect.

A Domain Lord Realm cultivator in the later stages of the Realm would be incredibly useful to the current Star Shattering Sect. Not just because they would be good at teaching the younger disciples of the sect, but also because they would have far more experience in the Domain Lord Realm and would be able to help the elders of the sect who just recently broke through to the Domain Lord Realm.

Even if Xuan Hao and Pei Yang could help these elders with getting familiar with their new strength and teach them about the Domain Lord Realm, their time was ultimately limited, and they couldn't help out all of the Domain Lord Realm cultivators of the sect. Especially considering that the number of Domain Lord Realm cultivators had been growing with each passing month.

More senior Domain Lord Realm Experts were needed, and this eccentric wandering cultivator just so happened to fit in with what the Star Shattering Sect was currently lacking.

Even more so because it was a wandering cultivator who didn't have any previous loyalties.

Of course, there was a chance that this person was lying to get into the Star Shattering Sect, but Shen Xuefeng highly doubted this considering the way she was acting.

If she really was trying to enter the Star Shattering Sect, she would have acted in a far more normal manner than what she had been doing so far. Especially considering that Shen Xuefeng wondered if this eccentric behavior might be enough to get Elder Song to refuse her joining the sect…

At least… It seemed like she wasn't a spy in any way from what Shen Xuefeng could tell of her brief interaction with her so far…
