Chapter 623: Chapter 623: Spare Me_1 Chapter 623: Chapter 623: Spare Me_1 “Xu Fan, please reconsider carefully, and then give me your answer,”

In his haste, Li Fuqiang ended up calling out Xu Fan’s name directly.

However, Xu Fan simply smiled at him slightly, no longer paying him any heed, with a depth of tranquility in his eyes.

This response greatly surprised Zhu Yangyuan, causing him to involuntarily frown.

He had lowered his stance and extended an invitation personally, yet he had been rejected several times.

What was going on here?

By all accounts, this shouldn’t be happening.

His mind raced, trying to find the reason for the rejection.

“Young friend Xu Fan, I don’t understand why you would refuse.

Perhaps it’s my fault for not explaining the situation of our Taiyi Sanqing Palace to you beforehand,”

“In the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm, there are five ultimate sovereigns, and the Supreme Elder of the Taiyi Sanqing Palace is one of them,”

“Besides, in terms of Sect strength, our Sect surpasses thousands of cultivator Sects and is one of the most powerful forces in the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm,”

“Moreover, the Taiyi Sanqing Palace has always maintained a close connection with the Ancient Martial World of Yan Country on Sea Blue Star, with a close relationship, and shares a significant history with the protector dragon faction,”

“Within the protector dragon faction there exists a cultivation method that has been passed down for five thousand years, which you must have heard of, ‘Tai Sui Mind Heaven Scripture.’ Do you know its origin?

It is indeed a simplified version of the cultivation method created by the founder and first palace master of Taiyi Sanqing Palace,”

“So, to speak more confidently, half a year from now when the realm gate opens, I believe you will certainly go.

Otherwise, you’d have to wait another 60 years, and no one can afford to wait that long.

Among the Sects you can choose from, I can’t say that Taiyi Sanqing Palace is the most suitable for you, but it’s certainly the most accepting.

As a protector of the Flame Dragon Organization, the Sect will naturally take good care of you,”

“Would you like to reconsider?”

Li Fuqiang couldn’t help but urge him as well, “My talented nephew, I can assure you, many Elders and Executors within Taiyi Sanqing Palace are from the dragon protector lineage and the Flame Dragon Organization.

As for the strength of Taiyi Sanqing Palace, you can rest easy—it’s very strong and can surely enable you to soar to great heights,”

Xu Fan listened seriously and, after hearing everything, replied, “After hearing this, the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm indeed seems attractive, but that is to others.

I can choose not to go, and that’s okay,”

“You’re being foolish!”

Zhu Yangyuan didn’t expect Xu Fan to respond like this and, in a burst of anger, reprimanded sternly, “You must not be corrupted by the comfort and glory of the mundane world.

As a cultivator, you should seize the essence of heaven and earth.

Only by forging ahead and striving for excellence can one follow the right path.

With such outstanding talent, you show no ambition, squandering your potential—I can’t stand to see this,”

“What achievements can you attain by staying in the lower world?

Hasn’t anyone told you that Sea Blue Star suppresses the advancement of higher-level cultivators?

Once you enter the Core Formation Stage, progressing further will become tens to hundreds of times more difficult—isn’t that just seeking suffering?”

Zhu Yangyuan spoke harshly, with a tone as if to awaken someone from a dream.

However, his stern manner wasn’t just because he couldn’t stand by; it also included important considerations for his own interests.

He had been assigned by the Sect to Sea Blue Star and, at heart, was unwilling to stay in a place with such scarce Spiritual Energy—especially given that it had been several hundred years.

His determination to return to his Sect was firm, but the premise for making his dream come true hinged on earning enough contributions.

In his current position, each additional talent he sent to the Sect added to his contributions.

If he could send Xu Fan to the Sect this time, his hopes of returning would significantly increase.

After all, he had been on Sea Blue Star for several hundred years and had yet to come across anyone with talent comparable to Xu Fan.

If his recommendation were successful, it would undeniably be a major contribution to the Sect, and Zhu Yangyuan could then offset his duties and leave Sea Blue Star.

Yet unexpectedly, Xu Fan actually…actually turned him down decisively.

Seeing Zhu Yangyuan’s expression growing increasingly ugly, Xu Fan sighed inwardly, but still didn’t soften his stance and said, “Besides, entering the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm doesn’t necessarily mean I have to join a Sect.”

“How should I put it,” Zhu Yangyuan expressed his dissatisfaction and then explained, “By your own standards, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

If you want to enter the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm, you need to abide by its rules.

Everyone does this; they all join Sects.

Do you really need to be different to be happy?”

Elder Zhu gave a long litany of displeasure and then explained, “If you don’t join a Sect, you’ll be a Loose Cultivator, and Loose Cultivators have always been without prospects.

Without the support of a Sect, no matter how strong you are individually, don’t even think about flourishing.

Take my advice, your current strength in the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm is really quite ordinary, nothing special.

Given that you will have neither resources nor connections, the end that awaits you will be no different from the masses.”

“Allow me to interrupt.”

Xu Fan suddenly raised his hand and spoke.

Zhu Yangyuan thought he had been persuaded to change his mind and couldn’t help but smile again, thinking that young people really couldn’t stand being intimidated.

“May I ask, is it your responsibility within the Sect to teach the daily cultivation of the Sect disciples?” Xu Fan asked calmly.

“Yes, I was originally the Inner Sect Teaching Elder of the Taiyi Sanqing Palace, mainly in charge of the routine cultivation practice of the new Inner Sect disciples.”

Zhu Yangyuan was startled, unsure why Xu Fan would ask this question and even more puzzled that Xu Fan had guessed his former identity correctly on the first try.

“No worries, I was just curious why you are so adept at preaching,” Xu Fan chuckled.

“You…

How dare you!” Zhu Yangyuan felt deeply insulted and became furiously angry.

“I did not.”

Xu Fan spread his hands, looking quite helpless as he said, “I truly mean no offence.

Please just let me be, for the time being, I have no intention of joining any Sect.”

“…”

Zhu Yangyuan’s mind was filled with a series of question marks, and he felt overwhelmed.

This matter that he was eager to facilitate, anyone should have been happy about.

Yet Xu Fan was obstructive at every turn, bringing Elder Zhu’s authority into question.

ɴονǤօ.сօ

Zhu Yangyuan could no longer suppress his anger.

His gaze sharp and cutting like a blade, he looked at Xu Fan and said coldly, “Fine, I respect your choice, but I must still seek your instruction to test the strength backing your courage.”

Saying that, an explosive aura surged from within him, rolling towards Xu Fan alone.

The shocking momentum caused Xu Dan and the others’ faces to change drastically as they quickly gathered their True Qi, ready to release their energy to defend against the shock wave at any time.

Qin Qinglong, on the other hand, felt relieved.

As long as Elder Zhu made a move, capturing this Xu Fan should not be difficult.

“Elder Zhu, please be merciful.”

“Elder Zhu, let’s sit down and talk things over, we can certainly resolve the issue better.”

Li Fuqiang and the other two hurriedly urged.

After all, Zhu Yangyuan was from the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm, having a profound and high Realm, and even though his strength was suppressed in the lower world, reducing his combat effectiveness, he was at the full completion of the Dongxu stage.

Not to mention he had practiced some secret techniques of the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm, so his true combat power was probably not something Xu Fan could withstand.
