232: Harvest Treasure Chest

As Ancestor Wuji entered.

Ripples spread across the surface of the illusion demon mirror, revealing Ancestor Wuji cultivating cross-legged within the illusion.

At this moment, he had already led Wuji Holy Land to submit to Qingtian Sect.

Under the prestigious name of Qingtian Sect, he even obtained more than ten Immortal Crystals in a Secret Realm in the starry sky, significantly enhancing his strength.

Wuji Holy Land also gained several Great Emperor Experts, reaching a height they never dared to imagine before.

Just as he was in the process of fusing the Immortal Essence within his body.

A massive wave of terrifying aura emanated from above Canglan Continent.

Countless starry sky warships, carrying experts from outside the continent, descended towards Qingtian Sect in the Southern Region.

"Hiss, these people are heading towards the Upper Sect!"

Feeling the commotion in the sky, Ancestor Wuji opened his eyes in horror.

After a moment of silence, he summoned Holy Master Wuji.

"The Upper Sect is in trouble! Quickly gather all the experts of the Holy Land and follow This Old Ancestor to the Upper Sect to kill the enemies!" Ancestor Wuji shouted at Holy Master Wuji.

"Yes, Old Ancestor!" Holy Master Wuji dared not hesitate and immediately retreated, beginning to ring the bell that could only be sounded when the Holy Land faced a life-or-death crisis.

"The Upper Sect's kindness is as vast as the sea. No Dust will repay it with his life," Ancestor Wuji muttered, then vanished from the spot.

Soon, under the summons of Holy Master Wuji.

The warship, carrying all the experts of Wuji Holy Land, rapidly sped towards the Southern Region.

When they arrived at Qingtian Sect.

The place was already devastated, with bodies strewn everywhere.

Seeing a large number of foreign continent experts still besieging the Disciples and Elders of Qingtian Sect.

Ancestor Wuji immediately shouted at the people of Wuji Holy Land, "All of you, follow This Old Ancestor and kill! Slaughter all these dog-bastards who dared to offend the Upper Sect!"

With the addition of Wuji Holy Land, the battlefield once again became a bloody storm.

"Mm, you've passed."

Seeing this, Li Big Saber outside the illusion demon mirror nodded with satisfaction, manipulating the illusion demon mirror to expel Ancestor Wuji.

"Where... where is this?"

Ancestor Wuji walked out of the illusion demon mirror, his face full of confusion.

He had just severely wounded a foreign continent expert in the illusion, almost to the point of death, just one more move was needed.

"That was an illusion just now. You have passed the test."

Seeing that Ancestor Wuji hadn't fully woken up, Li Big Saber spoke up to remind him.

"What! That was an illusion just now?"

Ancestor Wuji snapped back to reality, feeling like crying but having no tears.

This meant that the more than ten Immortal Crystals he absorbed were fake, and even the several Great Emperor Experts added to Wuji Holy Land were all damn fake.

"Let's go. Follow me to see Sect Master. As long as Sect Master accepts your force, everything in your illusion will become real."

Looking at Ancestor Wuji's disappointed expression, Li Big Saber left a remark and walked towards the Qingtian Sect Main Hall.

"Can it become real?"

Ancestor Wuji muttered, somewhat dazed, following behind Li Big Saber.

He still didn't quite believe Li Big Saber's words. After all, what Upper Sect would Cultivate its affiliated forces in such a way?

However, when Ancestor Wuji followed Li Big Saber to a place not far from the Main Hall, his thoughts changed slightly.

Because he had already seen the enlightenment tea tree planted next to the Main Hall.

"Hiss, this is actually an enlightenment tea tree with almost full leaves?"

Looking at the enlightenment tea tree covered with enlightenment tea leaves, Ancestor Wuji's mouth hung wide open.

Although Night Owl and the others had snatched the enlightenment tea tree from the Enlightenment Secret Realm earlier, that was just a tree almost entirely made of small tender leaves, definitely not the one in front of him.

This meant that the enlightenment tea tree they considered a treasure was just a landscape tree planted within the Qingtian Sect?

"Let's go. Don't be like this when you see Sect Master later."

Glancing at Ancestor Wuji, whose mouth was wide open, Li Big Saber instructed, then continued walking towards the Main Hall.

"Ah, yes, yes!"

Ancestor Wuji's old face flushed slightly, and he awkwardly followed Li Big Saber.

Could he be blamed?

These things in Qingtian Sect were really a bit too shocking.

An enlightenment tea tree used as a landscape tree—anyone would be shocked to see it.

Soon, the two arrived outside the Main Hall.

Li Big Saber bowed inside the hall and reported, "Reporting to Sect Master, he has passed the test."

"Mm, let him in."

Jiang Chen's voice came from within.

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Li Big Saber replied, then said to Ancestor Wuji, "Go in."

"Yes, Grand Elder."

Ancestor Wuji cupped his fists, trembling slightly as he stepped into the Main Hall.

"I, No Dust of Wuji Holy Land, have specially come to submit to Qingtian Sect. I ask Sect Master to accept me."

Ancestor Wuji entered the Main Hall without daring to raise his head, walked to the center of the hall, and performed a kowtow ceremony to Jiang Chen on the main seat.

After all, this was someone even an expert like Li Big Saber treated with utmost respect; he simply couldn't muster the courage to meet Jiang Chen's gaze.

Of course, the most important reason was the fear that doing so would be disrespectful, and if Jiang Chen were displeased with him, he would be done for.

"Mm, rise and speak."

Looking at the kneeling Ancestor Wuji, Jiang Chen spoke indifferently.

"Thank you, Sect Master!"

Receiving Jiang Chen's command, Ancestor Wuji dared not hesitate, quickly stood up, cautiously glanced at Jiang Chen, then lowered his head slightly again.

"Are you sure you want to lead your force to submit to my Qingtian Sect?" Jiang Chen asked, taking a sip of enlightenment tea.

Although Ancestor Wuji had already spoken very clearly, as the Upper Sect Master, he couldn't appear too eager.

"Yes, Sect Master, I sincerely wish to submit to Qingtian Sect." Facing Jiang Chen's question, Ancestor Wuji respectfully replied again.

"Mm, good."

Jiang Chen nodded and continued, "Since you are so sincere, This Sect Master will not say more. From now on, your force will pay homage and tribute to my Qingtian Sect, and my Qingtian Sect will protect you completely and never break its word."

Hearing Jiang Chen agree.

Ancestor Wuji's face lit up with joy, and he immediately knelt again, shouting loudly, "Thank you, Upper Sect Master, for accepting me. This junior bows again to the Upper Sect Master."

[Ding! Successfully acquired a Great Emperor-level affiliated force, rewarding one epic treasure chest!]

Just as Ancestor Wuji kowtowed, the System's reward notification appeared in Jiang Chen's mind.

"Mm, you may rise."

Looking at the epic treasure chest that had already arrived, Jiang Chen had a smile on his face.

This time, Night Owl and the others going to Central Province only gained a nearly bare enlightenment tea tree and the resources of Wuji Holy Land.

But he had gained No Dust, this Great Emperor Expert, and an epic treasure chest.

Of course, this was not the biggest gain. The biggest gain was the Central Province Cultivators who came admiringly.

Once more Central Province Cultivators gather outside, he can announce the third Disciple recruitment, attracting people from the entire Central Province, which would mean an unknown number of treasure chests.

"Thank you, Upper Sect Master."

Ancestor Wuji stood up, quietly waiting for Jiang Chen's instructions.

Jiang Chen didn't make Ancestor Wuji wait long. After eating a spirit fruit handed to him by Liu Shu, he spoke again, "No Dust, now that you have become an affiliated force of my Qingtian Sect, you can choose fifty people to come to Qingtian Sect to Cultivate."

"And you are a Peak Great Emperor Cultivator. If you are willing to stay in Qingtian Sect to serve, This Sect Master will not treat you unfairly and will give you Immortal Crystals as your salary."

"What! Immortal Crystals as salary?"

Hearing Jiang Chen say that serving in Qingtian Sect would grant Immortal Crystals as salary, Ancestor Wuji exclaimed in shock.

He had cultivated for tens of thousands of years without even seeing an Immortal Crystal, and now Jiang Chen said that he could get Immortal Crystals just by serving in Qingtian Sect. It was truly astonishing.
