If one were to mention the most feared existence among the thirty-six major sects in the eastern region of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, no one would dare to claim the first place if Fairy Jia Luo ranked second.
Fairy Jia Luo, the strongest cultivator among the thirty-six sects of the eastern region of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, was a formidable figure in the midst of the Rotating Pill Realm!
Moreover, she was also the most likely candidate among the Rotating Pill Realm experts in the entire Heavenly Wind Kingdom to ascend to the Heavenly Saint Realm, according to widespread acclaim!
Even those in the later stages of the Rotating Pill Realm dared not easily provoke Fairy Jia Luo, let alone Luo Yazi who was merely at the early stage.
Legend has it that since stepping onto the path of martial arts, Fairy Jia Luo had never tasted defeat. A few years back, she even traveled to the Ethereal Peak in the central region of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent to partake in the Rotating Pill Realm Swordfighting Convention, securing the top position directly, stunning the entire cultivation world of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom!
Such a character, each time Luo Yazi encountered her, he would pay utmost respect, not daring to offend her in the slightest.
He had not anticipated that this affair concerning Zhou Yuntian would involve Fairy Jia Luo herself.
He recalled how Jiang Yao and another young girl had addressed Fairy Jia Luo when she appeared.
If he had known earlier that Jiang Yao was a disciple of Fairy Jia Luo, he wouldn't have dared to lay a finger on her, even if he had ten times the courage!
Now, Luo Yazi deeply regretted coming to Qingyun Sect for the sake of Zhou Yuntian.
He respectfully watched Fairy Jia Luo as she approached from the void, repeatedly bowing and begging for forgiveness.
Fairy Jia Luo glanced at Luo Yazi, and spoke indifferently, "Luo Yazi, I'm fully aware of the matter here, and the fault initially lies with Zhou Yuntian of your sect."
"He has perished, and justly so."
Hearing Fairy Jia Luo mention the matter of Zhou Yuntian, Luo Yazi quickly responded, "Yes! Yes! It was my lack of consideration, I was too reckless. I beg for the Fairy's forgiveness!"
Fairy Jia Luo glanced at Luo Yazi, "You may leave. From now on, your Heavenly Net Sect should no longer concern itself with Zhou Yuntian's matters. If you meddle again, I will personally visit the Heavenly Net Sect and end your life!"
Fairy Jia Luo's words, faint as they were, struck Luo Yazi like a bolt from the blue.
"I dare not! Luo Yazi dares not!"
Where would Luo Yazi dare to defy Fairy Jia Luo's wishes? After bowing to her, he flicked a finger and incinerated Zhou Yuntian's corpse on the ground into nothingness.
Afterward, he no longer dared to linger; he bowed deeply to Jiang Yao and Ye Chen and, seeing that Fairy Jia Luo had no further expression, he turned into the void and vanished from sight.
The Rotating Pill Realm expert Luo Yazi, who had previously stood arrogantly in the void, dominating the airspace and casually flinging Qingyun Sect's Sect Leader Luo Kun to the ground, was now intimidated into such a state by Fairy Jia Luo. This made everyone in the plaza look at Fairy Jia Luo with both amazement and trepidation.
From Luo Yazi's behavior, they realized even more the dreadfulness of this beautiful woman!
All of them looked at Fairy Jia Luo, not even daring to breathe too loudly, including the Sect Leader of Qingyun Sect and the seven Elders.
"She is Jiang Yao's master, the mid-stage Rotating Pill Realm powerful expert?"
"Merely with her casual words, she could scare off another Rotating Pill Realm expert. How powerful must she be!"
Ye Chen watched Fairy Jia Luo slowly walking towards his direction from the sky, a surge of passion welling up within him!
This is the might of a mid-stage Rotating Pill Realm supreme cultivator!
To tear through the void, to have one's words manifest as law, to be where even the mightiest retreat!
If Jiang Yao's battle in the Spirit Sea with Zhou Yuntian ignited Ye Chen's ardor to reach higher realms, then witnessing Fairy Jia Luo effortlessly intimidate another Rotating Pill Realm expert solidified the heart of a true powerful warrior within him.
Powerful warriors, dominating all directions!
Powerful warriors, commanding thousands of realms!
Powerful warriors, issuing orders throughout the world!
Which warrior would not be moved by such authority, by such strength?
Having experienced oppression in Qingyun Sect in his previous life, having been hunted down by Zhou Hai and Zhou Yuntian, and having been considered expendable and expelled from the sect, Ye Chen's desire to become stronger grew even more.
He yearned for the day when, like Fairy Jia Luo, he could invoke awe and retreat among the mighty without even taking action!
He yearned even more for the day when he could surpass Fairy Jia Luo and become a truly towering figure!
That is the ambition of a good man cultivated in martial arts, reaching for the peak!
Just as Ye Chen's heart stirred with emotion, Fairy Jia Luo had already arrived in front of him and Jiang Yao.
Seeing Fairy Jia Luo coming, Jiang Yao and Liu Chan'er excitedly grabbed her skirt and called out to her.
Fairy Jia Luo patted Jiang Yao's head and glanced at Liu Chan'er, then smiled slightly, "You two are quite daring, running off to Qingyun Sect, daring to confront even Rotating Pill Realm practitioners."
"Had I not kept an eye on you, who knows what trouble you might have caused!"
"Especially you, Yao'er, I allowed you to cultivate in the cave dwelling, and you, instead of telling me, just left."
Fairy Jia Luo's voice contained no rebuke; instead, there was a hint of doting within it.
Jiang Yao glanced at Ye Chen beside her, her face turning slightly red. She softly said to Fairy Jia Luo, "Master, this is Ye Chen."
Hearing Jiang Yao suddenly mention his name to Fairy Jia Luo, Ye Chen quickly composed his turbulent emotions and respectfully greeted Fairy Jia Luo with a bow.
Fairy Jia Luo was Jiang Yao's master.
Moreover, she had just helped him resolve the big trouble with Luo Yazi; from every perspective, Ye Chen held an immense fondness for this Fairy Jia Luo.
The gaze of Fairy Jia Luo finally fell upon Ye Chen.
Her eyes examined Ye Chen for a long time without speaking.
This made Jiang Yao and Liu Chan'er, who were by the side, very anxious, especially Jiang Yao, whose delicate little face was filled with nervousness.
Ye Chen's heart also thumped wildly, unsure of what Fairy Jia Luo intended with such scrutiny.
After a long while, Fairy Jia Luo finally spoke, "Not bad, indeed a rare talent!"
The words of Fairy Jia Luo allowed Jiang Yao and Liu Chan'er to breathe a sigh of relief and made Ye Chen smile wryly.
This Fairy Jia Luo, the pressure of a strong person, really made one unconsciously feel fear!
"Ye Chen, I saw everything you did on the main gate square just before," she said.
"Your temperament, your bravery, your strength, and your responsibility, as of now, I am very satisfied with all of them," Fairy Jia Luo said lightly as she looked at Ye Chen.
Hearing Fairy Jia Luo's praise for Ye Chen, Jiang Yao's face was filled with smiles, and her tiny dimples emerged happily.
Fairy Jia Luo glanced at her most beloved disciple and shook her head helplessly.
She continued, "However, Ye Chen, if you want to be with my disciple Jiang Yao, your current strength is still far from enough!"
Jiang Yao's face turned crimson at Fairy Jia Luo's words; she hadn't expected her usually dignified and serious master to bring up such matters directly.
Ye Chen, on the other hand, was not embarrassed. He looked directly at Fairy Jia Luo and said, "Senior Jia Luo, I will definitely work hard to further improve my strength!"
"Further improving your strength isn't as simple as just saying it," Fairy Jia Luo said with a faint smile looking at Ye Chen. "In four months and seven days, on the day the Taixuan Flower blooms, will be the selection of Taixuan Sect's True Disciples."
"Ye Chen, do you dare to participate in Taixuan Sect's True Disciple selection?"
"Master, you want Ye Chen to participate in the True Disciple selection?" Jiang Yao exclaimed in surprise upon hearing Fairy Jia Luo's words.
"True Disciple selection?" Ye Chen looked at Fairy Jia Luo, then at the somewhat excited Jiang Yao, unfamiliar with the selection of Taixuan Sect's True Qi Disciples.
Jiang Yao gently said to him, "The True Disciple selection is held once every three years, and only the most outstanding disciples from the outer sect of Taixuan Sect can participate."
"Once selected as a True Disciple, one can join the various peaks of Taixuan Sect's Inner Sect and practice specifically within those peaks!"
"Ye Chen, Chan'er and I are True Disciples of Taixuan Sect's 'Snowdrift Peak'!"
"I didn't expect that master would make an exception and allow you also to participate in the True Disciple selection. That's great! There has never been someone from outside Taixuan Sect directly participating in the True Disciple selection. Ye Chen, you must agree!"
True Disciple selection, joining Taixuan Sect?
Jiang Yao's words also moved Ye Chen.
Taixuan Sect was the leading sect among the thirty-six sects of the eastern domain of Heavenly Wind Kingdom, a place Ye Chen also longed for.
Moreover, since Jiang Yao was also within Taixuan Sect, he naturally wished even more to join Taixuan Sect for his practice.
"I am willing to participate in the True Disciple selection!" Ye Chen said respectfully to Fairy Jia Luo.
Fairy Jia Luo nodded, "As Yao'er said, the selection of Taixuan Sect's True Disciples has never allowed outsiders to participate. Since you are an exception, naturally, I have to set some rules for you."
"Please speak, senior," Ye Chen said solemnly.
"True Disciple selection is for the most outstanding outer sect disciples of Taixuan Sect to participate, and there are many even among those who have reached the twelfth layer of True Qi."
"Though every selection, as long as one catches the eye of the peak masters of the Inner Sect, they can be chosen to join the peaks."
"But Ye Chen, if you do not place within the top three in the True Disciple selection, I will not agree to your entry into Taixuan Sect."
"Do you dare to contend with the various powerful outer sect disciples of Taixuan Sect and seize one of the top three positions?" Fairy Jia Luo asked, looking at Ye Chen.
