Chapter 392: Enter the Inner Sect

The several Headmasters had varying thoughts at this time. The Headmaster of the Alchemy School was staring at the pills that Lou Mu Yan gave Di Sha Tian, while the Headmaster of the Array School couldn’t sit still any longer.

As soon as the Inner Sect’s pupils quota assessment competition was over, the Headmaster of the Array School left in a hurry to the Sect Leader.

Huo Ling Long watched him follow the Sect Leader’s back in a hurry  with an arc of ridicule on her lips. It seemed that this old man wanted to dig the corner of her Talisman School.

The Headmasters of the other Schools all had varying thoughts, but all waited for the Headmaster of the Array School to take the lead.

The moment the Sect Leader took one step into the door, the Headmaster of the Array School followed behind.

After sitting down, the attendant of the Sect Leader brewed a pot of tea for the two and exited the door.

“Senior Brother, do you have any plans for after Lou Mu Yan enters the Inner Sect?” The Headmaster of the Array School asked first.

The Sect Leader gently scraped the tea leaves in the cup with the lid, then spoke slowly after a while: “Do you think Huo Ling Long will give up Lou Mu Yan?”

“Sect Leader, when Lou Mu Yan chose Schools, Xue Lan’er used tricks so she went to the Talisman School. With her outstanding Array talent, it’s best to transfer to the Array School.” The Headmaster of the Array School said straightforwardly.

“Her talent in Arrays is indeed Heaven-defying, but being able to refine Grade 4 Talismans shows that her talent on the Path of Talismans is also exceptional. It’s impossible for Huo Ling Long to let her go.” The Sect Leader said, sounding rather troubled.

The Headmaster of the Array School’s expression was incomprehensible, then he thought about it and asked: “What if Lou Mu Yan chose the Array School voluntarily?”

“If it’s Lou Mu Yan’s own choice, I will naturally not interfere, and Huo Ling Long has no right to leave her in the Talisman School.” The Sect Leader said.

“Alright, after Lou Mu Yan enters the Inner Sect, this old man will go and talk to her.” Joy rose on the face of the Headmaster of the Array School.

The Sect Leader glanced at him lightly and said with a smile: “Lou Mu Yan’s talent has been noticed by the superiors of the Sect. After entering the Inner Sect, once the Pagoda of Enlightenment is opened, if she performs well, it’s very likely that she will be accepted by one of them as a Disciple. If you want to talk to her, I won’t stop you, but you can’t force her.”

The Headmaster of the Array School was stunned for a moment, then understanding crossed his face, “I understand. If she doesn’t want to come to the Array School, I won’t force it.”

However, he could still lure Lou Mu Yan. He believed that in the face of absolute interests, anyone could be tempted.

After the Headmaster of the Array School left, the Headmaster of the Alchemy School and the several other Headmasters also came to visit the Sect Leader. After obtaining the same answer, they planned to wait for Lou Mu Yan to enter the Inner Sect before making plans.

After returning to the Talisman School, Lou Mu Yan was greeted by the pupils of the same School. After she dealt with it, she hid in her own courtyard and cultivated without seeing guests.

In the battle with Di Shi Tian, she was able to grasp a sense of comprehension of the wind element. In the next few days, she was further comprehending it.

Five days later, she received a Communication Talisman. When she opened the courtyard door, she saw Zi Che Shi standing at the door with a light smile.

“Why are you here, Senior Brother?”

“All the places for the Inner Pupils have been decided. The Sect Leader asked me and you to report to the Inner Sect.” Zi Che Shi said gracefully.

Lou Mu Yan nodded: “Alright, will we go now?”

“Mm.”

Lou Mu Yan wasn’t as familiar with the Eight Extremes Sect as Zi Che Shi, and the two took an hour to fly to a remote hall on their swords.

“The Inner Sect is here?” Lou Mu Yan blinked and asked.

Zi Che Shi chuckled: “Of course not, but we have to take a flying Demonic Beast from here.

“The Inner Sect is far from here?” Lou Mu Yan asked as they walked.

Zi Che Shi took them to the top floor of the main hall, “It will take more than half a day to arrive.”

After Lou Mu Yan went up to the top floor, she found that there were quite a few halos. Within the halos caged numerous Tier 7 flying-type Demonic Beasts, all domesticated.

“The two of you are doing to the Inner Sect?” An Elder who managed the flying-type Demonic Beast Hall looked at the two and asked.

“Yes.” Zi Che Shi handed over the passes for the two of them.

After the Elder checked it, a smile appeared on his face, “Come with me.”

Immediately, the two sat on a Tier 7 Tiger-Faced Eagle Beast and soared in the opposite direction to the Outer Sect.

“Why don’t we use our own flying Magic Tools? Is there something special about it?” Lou Mu Yana sked while sitting on the Tiger-Faced Eagle Beast.

“The location of the Inner Sect is a bit special. Only the Tiger-Faced Eagles raised by the Sect who have special marks since childhood can find the place to enter.” Zi Che Shi paused, then said: “Of course, after we obtain a new identity token after entering the Inner Sect, we can also come and go freely.”

“We don’t need to go to the Inner Sect with the other people?” Lou Mu Yan thought at first that the Sect would let the pupils go to the Inner Sect to report together.

“The Outer Sect Pupils of each School will report together in their Schools, and the other pupils of our Talisman School will be led by Headmaster to report in two days.” Zi Che Shi explained.

“Then why are we two days early?” Lou Mu Yan furrowed her brows, very puzzled.

“The Pagodas of Enlightenment1 will be opened in two days for some reason, and only the two of us from the Talisman School can go to the Pagodas of Enlightenment to comprehend, so they arranged for us to be earlier.” Zi Che Shi’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

“I see.”

Near the evening, the Tiger-Faced Eagle Beast crossed a large lake, and after passing the lake, one could see the undulating forest, exceptionally spectacular.

The Tiger-Faced Eagle Beast made several high-pitched shrieks and its two claws landed on a tree dozens of feet high and patted a spot.

Then one saw that its claws was imprinted in a hidden array. After its aura matched, one saw an ancient gate appear out of thin air atop a large tree.

The gate opened slowly, and the Tiger-Faced Eagle Beast spread its wings and entered. The gate then immediately closed behind them.

Lou Mu Yan didn’t expect that the Inner Sect would be hidden in such a place. The huge tree was obviously the edge of a huge Guardian Array of the Sect.

After entering the gate, one saw numerous great halls standing majestically at intervals in the distance with pupils wandering around from time to time.

Spiritual Clouds surrounded the area, and the Spiritual Fields below were planted with various Spiritual Herbs and flowers.

The concentration of Spiritual Energy here was more than three times that of the Outer Sect. The surrounding floating islands were entirely covered by an array and the Tiger-Faced Eagle Beast carefully avoided them one by one.

“Most of these floating islands are the residences of Elders. You should be careful not to come to this area when flying in the future.” Zi Che Shi reminded Lou Mu Yan when he saw her look at the floating islands.

“Spiritual Energy Gathering Arrays must be arranged on all those floating islands right.” Lou Mu Yan said while rubbing her chin.

Zi Che Shi chuckled and said: “Junior Sister really has good eyesight.”

“Only Elders live on the floating islands?” Lou Mu Yan watched a young man fly on a sword entering a floating island in the distance. The man was wearing the clothes of an Inner Pupil.

“If the pupils can rank in the top ten in contribution points, then they can also spend their contribution points to buy some time to live on a floating island. That Senior Brother is one of them.”

Zi Che Shi’s expression was filled with yearning, “In addition to the Spiritual Energy Gathering Array, I heard that the floating islands has many benefits and uses. If Junior Sister can earn enough contribution points in the future, you should consider it.”

1In Chinese, there isn’t anything like plurals in English so when they mentioned the Pagodas of Enlightenment (previously I translated it to ‘Tower’ of Enlightenment), it could be taken as several or only just one. They never mentioned the number so I forgot there were several. After translating a little later, I realised it was more than 1 Pagoda so I’m correcting it here.
