Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

"It's too much, why can't I participate in such a grand event?"

Having just received news from the Otherworld Battlefield and returned to the sect, Liu Xuanling seemed quite annoyed, her ample chest heaving with her breathing: "Had I been allowed to participate, I would certainly have been able to defeat the other sects and win a spot chosen by the Heavenly Dao."

"That's right, junior sister, your talent is exceptional, and your cultivation realm is also very profound. With your current realm, if you were to participate in this selection of cultivators by the Heavenly Dao, you would certainly rank at the forefront!"

Beside her, Hao Shicheng nodded affirmatively; however, he immediately followed up with another comment, "It's just that, junior sister, you're older now and have exceeded the age limit for this selection, so..."

"What did you say?"

Liu Xuanling jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her eyes round with anger, glaring at Hao Shicheng: "Dare you call me old, second senior brother?"

"No, not at all?"

Hao Shicheng scratched his head, speaking candidly: "You're already over a hundred years old now, although you're still considered a young cultivator in the entire cultivation world, when compared to little junior brother and the others, you naturally seem older."

"You dare say that."

Liu Xuanling glared at her second senior brother, her anger sizzling.

Qin Feng stood by quietly, mouth tightly shut, not saying a word, for fear that his senior sister's fury might be directed at him.

Since second senior brother had failed to read the situation and was still poking at the fire in Liu Xuanling's heart at this time, he could only wish him luck.

As someone selected to participate in the grand event, it was better not to speak too much, to avoid being targeted by senior sister. Otherwise, what if later she dragged him to the back mountain grove for a lesson? What then?

Qin Feng was self-aware. Although his war power was strong among cultivators of the same level, and he could even overpower ordinary Purple Mansion cultivators in battles above his level, he was certainly no match for a genius Purple Mansion cultivator like Liu Xuanling, whose combat power far exceeded ordinary people.

Although he had several Purple Mansion Spirit Beasts to aid him, his senior sister had obtained countless resources in the Otherworld over the years; it was impossible that she hadn't cultivated her Spirit Beasts, and perhaps she even tamed a few powerful Demon Beasts.

Liu Xuanling was somewhat chagrinned: "I'm only a few… cough, a few decades older than little junior brother, how is that old?

Humph, I don't know who set this stupid rule, demanding such a young age to participate!"

"Don't speak nonsense!"

From above, Ning Wuxu scolded: "This was certainly decided by those old ancestors, remember to hold your tongue, or else be careful of disaster stemming from careless talk!"

"...Disciple understands."

Liu Xuanling responded a bit dejectedly, then she jumped next to Ning Wuxu and tugged at his sleeve, saying, "Master, master, I want to go to the grand event too!"

"How can you participate?"

Ning Wuxu was somewhat helpless; Liu Xuanling had been raised by him since she was a child, and he cherished her like a daughter, which made her quite spoiled in his presence. Seeing her act coquettishly now made him even less firm: "The disciples participating in the selection cannot be older than one jiazi; this is the upper limit set by those old ancestors!

In fact, unless the war power of a disciple from the great sects of the Five Domains is exceptionally strong, even those who are in their forties or fifties may not be willing to let them participate.

Because the younger the talented disciple, the easier it is to gain the favor of the Heavenly Dao, and the more they will receive the blessing of the Heavenly Dao's qi fortune in the future.

Among the true disciples of our Beast Taming Sect, the oldest is Gu Wumou of the Spirit Turtle Lineage, but even that kid is only forty-five now, far from the age of one jiazi.

Even though I have achieved the Immortal Dao and become a Supreme Elder of the sect, I can't openly disrupt the sect's future, and what's more, even if I say something, it will be useless, the two Ancestor Martial Uncles would not agree either!"

"Disciple is not talking about participating in the selection of the Chosen Son, I mean to follow the team to the Central Region to broaden my horizons."

Liu Xuanling then showed her true intent: "Since the sect has already determined the candidates for the selection, disciple wouldn't dare to trouble master, but previously when disciple was pursuing someone in the Otherworld, I received the news late, and the Space Gate couldn't always be opened for me alone, hence why I've only just returned to the sect."

Though Liu Xuanling was somewhat unconventional and proud, she was not foolish; on the contrary, she was very smart. She certainly knew that she couldn't be involved in the matters of the true disciples, and what she said before was just a ploy, aiming for this moment.

First, she brought up a matter her master would surely not agree to, then presented a relatively simpler request; she knew her master would generally agree to her under normal circumstances.

She tugged at Ning Wuxu's sleeve, shaking it vigorously, using the irresistible coquettish charm she had perfected as a child: "Master, isn't the sect also planning to bring dozens of Elders and some additional talented disciples to the Central Region to witness the grandeur of the Confucian Sect? Why not take disciple along too.

Rest assured, disciple will definitely not cause any trouble; I just want to go to the Central Region to have a look, just like the other Elders."

"This…"

Ning Wuxu hesitated.

"Master, this time it's not that disciple is being unreasonable; it's that when the Sect Master summoned the Elders to discuss candidates, they simply didn't inform me. Otherwise, why would I need to trouble you now?"

Liu Xuanling saw that her master's expression had softened somewhat and quickly pressed on further, "Since the Sect Master selects the candidates for the Central Region based on the potential of the elders, then my potential is surely stronger than that of a great number of elders. If Long Qibian can go, there's no reason I can't!

"I simply returned late, but adding one more person shouldn't be a problem, right? After all, when the Sect Master and the others discussed who would stay behind to guard the Sect, they didn't include me!"

"Alright, alright, stop shaking me, you're giving me a headache!"

Ning Wuxu reluctantly withdrew his sleeve from his own disciple's grip, "In that case, I'll make a proposal on your behalf and take you with us. After all, that place is so vast, we won't have trouble accommodating you."

"That's wonderful, thank you, Master."

The pitiful look on Liu Xuanling's face instantly vanished without a trace, replaced by an excited expression.

"Here we go again!"

Hao Shicheng, standing to the side, curled his lip disdainfully.

"Hmph!"

Liu Xuanling shot a glance his way, "What's the matter, second senior brother? Now that you've gleaned a bit of the mystery of the Laws, you think you can look down on your junior sister here?"

She narrowed her eyes and a dangerous look appeared on her face, had her second senior brother just implied she was old?

This was simply unforgivable!

As a fairy in the prime of youth, not to mention with rapidly advancing Cultivation and ever-lengthening lifespan, maintaining her body at the peak condition of a young girl, the last thing she wanted to hear were such words.

So, she turned to Hao Shicheng, "Speaking of which, it has been a long time since I've sparred with my second senior brother. Why don't we go outside and have a competition, so that I may witness the divine skills you've understood over these years?"

"Eh? No need."

Hao Shicheng quickly shook his head, "I've only recently begun to understand the Dao Principles, and I haven't even achieved the Purple Mansion Realm; how could I be a match for you?"

"Just because you advance to the Purple Mansion, you'd be a match for me?"

Liu Xuanling's face revealed a mysterious smile, "Regardless of whether you ascend to that Realm or not, you won't be my match. So why bother choosing a time? Don't worry, I'll be merciful and won't hurt you."

She was not mistaken in her words.

Back when she joined the expedition, she had just reached the Purple Mansion Realm, but after years of fighting in the Otherworld, she had been honed and strengthened rapidly due to the accumulation of countless resources, as well as the various opportunities she had been given, allowing her Cultivation to progress at an astonishing speed.

In fact, if she continued to improve at this rate, it was possible that in a few years, she might succeed in condensing her Dharma Image.

Mainly, she had obtained too many resources from the Otherworld in recent years, countless heavenly treasures in exchange, her Cultivation was bound to progress, and her Cultivation technique, the "Heavenly Snake Swallowing the Moon Technique," alongside the "Taiyin Refining God Technique" inherited from the Ancient Great Sect Guanghan Palace complemented each other perfectly. She had merged the two techniques into one, which greatly exceeded the foundation of the average person and her potential was much stronger than those who cultivated only one Technique.

Moreover, she also studied the Druid's Transformation Technique. In the past few years, by learning from the Laws of various Demon Beasts, her Power of Laws had rapidly improved, leading to her current achievements.

"No, no, I have a lot of other things to do."

Hao Shicheng continuously waved his hands.

He secretly regretted that he had agreed to come to the Ten Thousand Demons Grotto Heaven to see their master since Liu Xuanling had just returned from the Otherworld. He hadn't expected to fall into his junior sister's trap and should have not engaged in the conversation in the first place.

Looking at the youngest sibling who stayed wisely silent beside him, Hao Shicheng finally understood why he had been silent all this time; he had been guarding against his junior sister all along.

Sigh!

Hao Shicheng inwardly sighed, blaming himself for not realizing it sooner and forgetting his junior sister's temperament.

To divert Liu Xuanling's attention, he decided to throw someone else to the wolves.

So, he dragged Qin Feng into it, "Speaking of Divine Power Magic and Cultivation Combat Power, our youngest junior brother is the most powerful!"

Qin Feng, standing beside him, was taken aback, not understanding why his second senior brother suddenly brought him into the conversation.

Then, he saw Hao Shicheng's face full of admiration, "Although our junior brother started his Cultivation the latest and hasn't been a disciple of our master for so many years, his talent is even stronger than junior sister's, and his Understanding is hailed as the best of our Sect's younger generation. He's so young yet he has already comprehended numerous Dao Principles. How could someone of my mediocre talent compare?

"If there's someone among the Sect's disciples whose future achievements will exceed junior sister's, in my opinion, it has to be our junior brother!"

"Eh?"

Qin Feng, upon hearing this, instantly understood his second senior brother's intention and couldn't help but lament, "Second senior brother, that's not very righteous of you!"
