Duan Ling Tian was momentarily stunned. After a moment, he looked at Xu Fang and replied through Voice Transmission, “It seems like Elder Xu knows me very well.”

Despite his calm gaze and voice, darkness surged in Duan Ling Tian’s heart. He had already heard about the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation’s deeds and reputation so he had a rather bad impression of them. After listening to Xu Fang’s thinly-veiled threats, he knew their reputation was well deserved.

Xu Fang smiled faintly and said, “I only know a thing or two. Duan Ling Tian, you should carefully consider joining our Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation. Naturally, I can’t force you to join our congregation. Everyone has different goals, after all.” After a beat, he shook his head before he continued to say, “However, it’s really a pity if a prodigy like you, who achieved so much before even reaching the age of 1,000, doesn’t join us. It’s definitely a great loss.”

Duan Ling Tian sneered inwardly when Xu Fang heavily emphasized the words ‘before reaching the age of 1,000’. Clearly, the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation had conducted a thorough investigation of him. Nonetheless, he was not afraid and did not pay attention to Xu Fang at all. Instead, he was more concerned now about which force to join. All of them were very enthusiastic and their offers were also very generous. The offers from the ordinary supreme-rank forces were even more generous. One of the advantages the ordinary supreme-rank forces touted was that the environment was less competitive.

“Duan Ling Tian, your innate talent and comprehension skills are truly high, but the heavyweight supreme-rank forces aren’t without talents like you. In fact, they even have disciples who are more talented than you. If you join my sect, you’ll be the top young disciple. We’ll definitely provide you with our very best resources.”

“Duan Ling Tian, in fact, it’s better for you to join our force than a heavyweight supreme-rank force.”

“Duan Ling Tian…”

Many of the representatives from ordinary supreme-rank forces began to speak up again, hoping to convince Duan Ling Tian to join them.

They were slightly anxious when they saw Duan Ling Tian’s lukewarm reaction.

At this time, an old man from the Spirit Convergence Paradise, one of the heavyweight supreme-rank forces, said amiably, “Duan Ling Tian, I have a great-great-granddaughter who’s rather pretty. I think both of you look like a match made in heaven. Why don’t you join the Spirit Convergence Paradise? I’ll introduce you to her when the time comes.” Then, he continued to say through Voice Transmission, “My great-great-great-granddaughter is still a virgin.”

Duan Ling Tian was stunned by the Voice Transmission. When he recovered, he only smiled wryly.

The other representatives continued to persuade Duan Ling Tian to join them with eloquent words and every other way they could think of.

Duan Ling Tian was truly in a dilemma over which force to join. He naturally did not consider the ordinary supreme-rank forces. Out of the nine heavyweight supreme-rank forces that sent their representatives here, he had already struck the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation off the list. As for the eight remaining heavyweight supreme-rank forces, he was mostly neutral about them.

After considering the information that Zhen Ping Fan compiled for him, he found that he was more inclined toward the Scarlet Flame Palace, the Spirit Convergence Paradise, and the Nine Seas Valley. The first two forces had outstanding young prodigies who were comparable to him, and he took the first two forces into consideration due to their respective secret realms that would benefit his cultivation.

Each heavyweight supreme-rank force had its own secret realm. The secret realms were created by their respective Formations masters to gather Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy from their respective divine crystal veins. Needless to say, such a place was beneficial to one’s cultivation.

The Scarlet Flame Palace and the Spirit Convergence Paradise’s secret realms were particularly beneficial to those who comprehended the law of space and the law of time. Hence, they caught Duan Ling Tian’s attention.

As for the Nine Seas Valley, since they did not have any young disciples who were comparable to Duan Ling Tian or stronger than him, he could be assured that the treatment he received from them would be the best. That aside, the Nine Seas Valley was also generous and stated that Duan Ling Tian would be accepted as the direct disciple of the Valley Master of the Nine Seas Valley. Although the valley master was only an intermediate Supreme God, he was only second to the advanced Supreme Gods in the valley.

‘Which one should I choose?’ Duan Ling Tian wondered inwardly.

After careful consideration, Duan Ling Tian felt that among the three heavyweight supreme-rank forces he had singled out, he was more drawn to the Scarlet Flame Palace and the Spirit Convergence Paradise. However, since these two forces’ offers were similar, he was now having trouble choosing between the two.

Meanwhile, the other representatives noticed Duan Ling Tian’s gaze shifting back and forth between the representatives from the Scarlet Flame Palace and the Spirit Convergence Paradise. As such, they knew Duan Ling Tian had narrowed down his choices to those two forces.

The representatives from the ordinary supreme-rank forces sighed and left the Pure Yang Sect with wry smiles on their faces.

At this time, Xu Fang said somewhat anxiously through Voice Transmission, “Duan Ling Tian, the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation is on par with the Scarlet Flame Palace and the Spirit Convergence Paradise! Did they secretly promise you something else? Tell me so I can match their offer if it’s within our congregation’s ability.”

Apart from Xu Fang, the others also sent Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian.

All of them assumed that the Scarlet Flame Palace and the Spirit Convergence Paradise had offered Duan Ling Tian better terms.

When Duan Ling Tian discovered the other representatives’ misunderstanding, he was about to explain it to them when he suddenly frowned. He could sense something. He wondered, ‘Who is it?’

At the same time, a series of thunderous noises rang in the air.

The representatives from the various supreme-rank forces naturally had already sensed the abnormality before Duan Ling Tian did. They looked at the sky and saw a figure hovering in the air.

Duan Ling Tian followed the direction of their gazes and saw a tall and burly figure slowly descending from the sky.

The tall and burly figure belonged to a white-clad young man. However, his eyes, which were filled with the vicissitudes of life, contradicted his youthful appearance.

At this time, the representative from the Scarlet Flames Sect said with a hint of disbelief, “It’s Yang Yu Chen!”

Meanwhile, the young disciples from the heavyweight supreme-rank forces began to discuss among themselves through Voice Transmission.

“Yang Yu Chen?”

“Why is Yang Yu Chen here/”

“Over the past 100,000 years, Yang Yu Chen is the Myriad Laws Academy’s most outstanding member.”

“When Yang Yu Chen was only 20,000 years old, he already became an intermediate Supreme God. Many people think he’ll be able to become an advanced Supreme God within another 10,000 years.”

The young disciples from the heavyweight supreme-rank forces knew about Yang Yu Chen. After all, Yang Yu Chen was the youngest vice academy master in the history of the Myriad Laws Academy. They had all heard stories about him since they were young even though they had never met him. This was also why they did not recognize him earlier even though they knew about him.

“Why is he here?”

“He must be here to recruit Duan Ling Tian. However, since when did the Myriad Laws Academy begin to recruit students?”

“Is that really possible? There’s no precedent of the Myriad Laws Academy recruiting students.”

“Yang Yu Chen himself keeps breaking tradition and records in the academy. It’d be just another instance of him doing so if he came to recruit Duan Ling Tian. I’m not really surprised.”

“That’s right.”

Duan Ling Tian never heard of Yang Yu Chen before until he studied the information that Zhen Ping Fan compiled for him. As such, when he heard the others say the white-clad young man was Yang Yu Chen, he was not completely clueless about the Vice Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy.
