Supreme Elder couldn’t help but stand up, laughing heartily, and loudly said,
"Divas? Excellent, your joining will surely make our Mystic Sect even more powerful."
"Nangong Wantu, from now on, you are a disciple of my Supreme Tao Palace Mystic Sect."
"Someone, take him to receive his Disciple’s Robe, all kinds of Elixirs, Armor, and Daoist Manuals."
He rattled off a list of instructions, and on the spot, arranged everything.
—That was too fast.
This also made Shen Ye once again realize the "Divas’" professional value.
Supreme Elder then asked,
"Elder Tu, are you going to stay a bit longer, or return immediately?"
Tu Fusheng caressed his beard and sent Shen Ye a voice transmission:
"Once you enter the Taoist sect, you need to be isolated from cultivation for at least several months before you can communicate with the outside world; that’s the rule. If I make requests about such a trivial matter, it might arouse suspicion."
Shen Ye sent back a voice transmission:
"You go first. Move around freely for a bit. When I call you with the contract, then come into my Dharma Aspect."
Tu Fusheng was startled and then overjoyed beyond belief.
This was essentially freedom!
If there was trouble, he could come to help; otherwise, he could do whatever he wanted!
—Having fought to the death and accompanied him through the Ninety-Nine Layered Universe, and having exchanged secret teachings for his disciple position, he had indeed reaped the reward.
This kid is all right.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have gone through with that assassination business!

"The younger generation I leave behind is in your hands, which puts my mind at ease; I won’t stay any longer."
Tu Fusheng’s physique flashed, and he instantly entered the void, his whereabouts unknown.
Everyone was taken aback.
It almost felt like...
He was somewhat in a hurry...
Supreme Elder looked at the True Void White Moon Slash Secret Tome in his hand.
The tome was real.
He then looked at Shen Ye.
Shen Ye was a true Sixth Layer of the Magic Realm youth, bearing two rare "titles."
—Also real.
Alright.
No problem.
"Supreme Elder, this disciple will take his leave now," Shen Ye gave a bow.
"Mm, go on, today we’re re-contesting Mystic Sect rankings; you should pay attention."
"And also, cultivate well in the future. Achieving Great Accomplishment will also be the glory of our Taoist Palace," Supreme Elder advised kindly.
Shen Ye bowed once more and then was taken away by a Guide Taoist, leaving the palace.
The Guide Taoist first took him to receive this month’s Spirit Stones, Elixirs, and basic Daoist Manuals, then they rose into the clouds, flying through the mountains, he spoke rapidly:
"The leader of the Mystic Sect succumbed to demonic possession today, and Saintly Honor personally laid out the formation to kill him, causing his physique to be destroyed."
"Senior Sister Yun has died, so Mystic Sect rankings will necessarily be reshuffled."
He stopped speaking at that point.
Shen Ye smiled, took out some of the Spirit Stones he had just received, and stuffed them into the Guide Taoist’s hand.
The Guide Taoist continued,
"The Mystic Sect’s rankings are different from the other two sects; they are randomly drawn from Dharma Aspect, Title, or Mystical Objects for competition."
"The higher your ranking, the better resources you obtain."
"It’s redrawn every seven days."
"Thank you, brother," Shen Ye bowed, handing over a few more Elixirs.
Soon,
The two arrived at a mountain peak.
They saw that seventeen or eighteen Cultivators had already gathered at the Martial Competition Arena.
The Guide Taoist stuck out his neck and after peering for a while, whispered,
"This time the competition is about Mystical Objects."
"What’s a Mystical Object?" asked Shen Ye.
"Mystical Objects are things that are strange, incomprehensible, yet possess formidable power," explained the Guide Taoist.
"Thank you, brother," Shen Ye nodded.
The Guide Taoist waved the Elixirs in front of Shen Ye then tucked them into his storage bag.
—Meaning, taking your advantage, I will make sure everything is handled properly.
This guy is straightforward!
"May I ask for brother’s name, so I can ask for guidance in the future," Shen Ye bowed.
"Dao Zhengyi," the Guide Taoist returned the bow.
"Good name, I am Nangong Wantu."
The Guide Taoist led him to the arena, spoke a few words to a Black-Bearded Big Man as a brief introduction for Shen Ye, then took his leave.
Leaving Shen Ye surrounded by a group of brothers and sisters sizing him up.
"I’ve heard the name Tu Fusheng before; seems like it was a strong individual from a past era... and he’s still alive?"
Black-Bearded Big Man muttered.
"I am Nangong Wantu, pleased to meet my fellow brothers and sisters," Shen Ye said evenly, with a bow.
"Hmm, are you participating in today’s ranking contest? Why not join in the fun?" the Black-Bearded Big Man invited.
The other brothers and sisters looked over as well, showing interest.
By their expressions, they seemed very keen on having him join.
"I don’t know how to fight; I’ll just watch for now," Shen Ye declined.
—He wasn’t here to show off, better to observe the situation first.
Plus, a very important point—
The Law Power of this world was so profound that with just a little sensing, one could pierce through the void and see the Dharma Aspects hidden within the Dharma Realm.
The power here was immense!
He needed some time to slowly adapt.
Upon hearing Shen Ye’s refusal to participate in the ranking contest, everyone was somewhat disenchanted and returned their attention to the arena.
—On the stage, two Disciples were competing with Mystical Objects.
One released a treasure gourd that could spit out lightning continuously from mid-air;
The other held a Staff that raised five-colored clouds, blocking all of the other’s attacks.
Shen Ye watched for a while and slightly nodded.
This was how they competed—
Both individuals on the platform did not use Dharma Aspects or Titles, only relying on the Mystical Objects in their hands to fight.
The method was somewhat like fighting crickets.
Quite interesting and, for both combatants, there was no risk to their lives.
No wonder they had hoped he’d join earlier.
Having a fresh Mystical Object participate in the fight was actually quite fun.
...Never mind.
He’d just arrived, he’d slowly change his ranking later on.
