System’s Super Sect - Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Yang Hua Died In The Immortal Sect?!

Translator: Lordbluefire

Reliance Sect.

The Reliance Sect was located on Feigi Mountain outside of Cangwu City. It was different from Cloudmist Mountain and the terrain here was flatter.

Ever since the Immortal Sect’s decline, the economic core of Cangwu City’s economy was shifted to a place near the Reliance Sect.

The three major merchant associations in Cangwu City settled here, and they controlled half of the labor productivity in Cangwu City.

If the Immortal Sect was said to be a supreme sect built on a sea of clouds, the Reliance Sect could be said to be another sect outside Cangwu City.

When Shi Hua and Li Yuemi just returned to their residence, they suddenly heard the sounds of a bell ringing and this shocked them immensely.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Three rings represented a funeral bell.

Only when elder-level characters of the Reliance Sect passed away would the Reliance Sect sound off this bell. After that, the entire Reliance Sect would enter a period of mourning. According to the rules, everyone had to return to their residence and pray for the person who died.
“This…” Li Yuemi skeptically pointed in the direction of the main hall. “The funeral bell was rung and a life jade shattered. An elder at the thirteenth level of Body Refinement of the Reliance Sect actually died. Isn’t this loss a little too great?!”

‘The birth of a cultivator at the thirteenth level required time, opportunity, and talent. These three aspects had to be as one. Therefore, the number of cultivators at the thirteenth level of the Body Refinement Realm in Cangwu City could be counted within two hands.
Cultivators of this level were rare in the Reliance Sect, only as few as the number of fingers on a single palm.

Ifa clan lost an expert of this level, the dangers they would face would be a possible decline. Although the Reliance Sect wouldn’t decline just because of this, it would cause their overall strength to be greatly discounted.

Shi Hua nodded. She also didn’t know what to say and could only enter the residence with Li Yuemi as they started to observe the period of mourning.

However, she didn’t put her hands together to pray.

She truly couldn’t bring herself to pray for someone she didn’t know.

During late-night, the sound of knocking rang out on her door, and an old man over 50 years old stood outside. His black hat covered his face and his black long robes made him meld into the night, causing him to exude a sense of mystery.

This wasn’t a nameless person.

This person was none other than the master of Shi Hua and Li Yuemi, one of the elders at the thirteenth level of the Body Refinement Realm of the Reliance Sect. His fame might not be comparable to Yang Hua in the sword path, but he was also considered a very famous major character in Cangwu City.

He was a person whose pair of iron fists had shattered the city wall before. After the Immortal Sect was destroyed, the city lord manor didn’t dare to carelessly start a conflict with the Reliance Sect, and a huge reason behind that was this guy. Even the city walls could be pummeled by him with a punch, so
there was no way the soldiers could defend Cangwn City.

“The matter…with the Immortal Sect.” Li Yuemi lowered her voice to the point where it was even softer compared to ants speaking. It was unknown whether Shi Hua could hear her or not.
“What matters could the Immortal Sect possibly have?”

Shi Hua spoke and hastened her footsteps, but she was mumbling silently in her heart. ‘So, the Immortal Sect truly has an elder at the thirteenth level of Body Refinement. Wen Ping didn’t lie to her back then.’

Speaking of Wen Ping, the moment he returned to the Rain Listening Pavilion, the voice of the system appeared.
‘Wen Ping had concluded that there were only two situations when the system appeared. First, it was to issue missions. Secondly, it was to swindle him of his gold coins.

If there was no ‘mission issued’, the reason for its appearance was definitely to swindle his gold.

“Congratulations to the host for completing the achievement: Path of Rising (1)! You have successfully activated the building stop function. Host, please browse through it yourself.”

As the sound of the system faded, a map appeared in Wen Ping’s vision. This was the entire map of the Immortal Sect.

‘The four mountain peaks were included within, in addition to some remote corners. Moreover, the upgraded main hall and dormitory areas had clear indications. When Wen Ping’s thoughts moved and ‘touched’ the symbol of the two buildings, the merchant shop interface appeared!
Firstly for the dormitory area: There was an inferior-grade yellow-tier arterial art for sale – the Supreme White Sword Art. Cost: 10,000 gold.

He didn’t continue to read further and immediately screamed loudly in shock.

“System, why is the price 10x more?”

“Host, there’s no need to feel shocked. The first time I showed it to you was at a discounted price. Host, please continue to browse.”

‘Wen Ping no longer had the mood to continue browsing. The dormitory shop had two more inferior-grade yellow-tier arterial arts for sale, but they were both priced at 10,000 gold each.

Both arts required the user to truly reach the Mystic Realm before they were able to unleash their true might.

‘They were different from the Jiao-Dragon Rage, which didn’t consume arterial qi but used sound instead.

‘As Wen Ping hadn’t even reached the minor-completion level of the Jiao-Dragon Rage yet, he didn’t plan to waste money to indoctrinate another arterial art.

After opening up the main hall shop, Wen Ping started.

Because there was something in the shop that almost caused him to be unable to accept reality.

Acigar!

There was a note there as well: A cigar made from a leaf from the tree of life. It has the effect of enhancing life..
