Cultivation: But Not a Game
Chapter 435 - 311: Profound Clarity Upper Sect, Chan Orthodoxy
The bounty was just posted, and within two minutes someone had accepted it, sending over a detailed document.
"Brother, this document contains detailed information about all the sects in the Cyan Immortal Domain. It’s more detailed than the free versions, including the Profound Clarity Upper Sect and the Tongxuan Sect."
"Hmm, let me take a look."
He forwarded a copy of the document to Qingchan first before carefully reviewing it himself.
The document included detailed information on all the sects in the Cyan Immortal Domain, but he started by looking at the details of the Profound Clarity Upper Sect and the Tongxuan Sect.
A few minutes later, Su Yu looked up, somewhat surprised, and said:
"It’s indeed true."
Qingchan also nodded and said:
"And it’s even better than expected. The Profound Clarity Upper Sect was once glorious."
"Yes."
The data showed that the Profound Clarity Upper Sect did indeed trace its heritage back to Guang Chengzi, with the founding ancestor being one of Guang Chengzi’s disciples. The sect always had a spot to go to the Nine Immortal Mountain Peach Source Cave in Eastern Victory Divine Province for training.
The Nine Immortal Mountain Peach Source Cave was precisely the dojo of Guang Chengzi, the Golden Immortal of the Explanatory Sect.
Moreover, the Profound Clarity Upper Sect used to be glorious. Six thousand years ago, it was one of the top ten sects in the Cyan Immortal Domain, with more than one Profound Immortal, nearly ten True Immortals, and almost a hundred Celestial Immortals. However, a mishap caused the fall of two Profound Immortals and several True Immortals, leading to the sect’s decline.
As for the Tongxuan Sect, it was somewhat inferior to the Profound Clarity Upper Sect. The founding ancestor did listen to the teachings of the Xuandu Mage for a thousand years but was not formally apprenticed, only a registered disciple.
The Tongxuan Sect was never particularly prosperous in history and lagged behind the Profound Clarity Sect in terms of foundation.
Qingchan suggested:
"If recommendations help, joining the Profound Clarity Sect would be a good choice."
He nodded and said:
"I’ll first ask the two Immortals."
Turning to his friends, he sent a message to Yu Xian:
"Elder Yu, if I go to the Profound Clarity Upper Sect, can I bring my wife along?"
Yu Xian quickly replied:
"Yes, I can also ensure you both can join, but you’ll have to start as registered disciples, as there’s no recommendation quota for True Immortal disciples."
He explained:
"This recommendation quota is extremely valuable, like for me, there’s only one every ten years."
"I see, thank you, Elder, for the explanation."
Closing the communication, Su Yu informed Qingchan of the results. She laughed and said:
"That’s normal. If recommendations were freely given, they wouldn’t be valuable."
Su Yu frowned, wanting to say something, but Qingchan continued:
"No need to rush. I’ll ask Uncle Nanfeng."
"Okay."
Half an hour later, Luo Nanfeng arrived, and his first words were:
"I agree with you going."
"You might not know that this recommendation is called an Immortal seed. Once approved, the sect will pay great attention to cultivating you with high priority."
"The Profound Clarity Upper Sect, although in decline now, was once prosperous, with direct heritage for ascending to Profound Immortal within the sect. If you can ascend to Profound Immortal in the future, the next step, Golden Immortal heritage, is directly at Nine Immortal Mountain Peach Source Cave in Eastern Victory Divine Province, under Guang Chengzi’s Golden Immortal tutelage, which is not inferior to Qingxu Temple."
"Hmm."
Su Yu nodded.
"So Qingchan and I will..."
"Qingchan doesn’t need to go with you."
Luo Nanfeng interrupted, saying: 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
"I’ve informed the three ancestors of your arrival. They used their authority to apply for an Immortal seed quota for Qingchan, allowing her to join under a Female Immortal of our sect."
"Initially, the plan was for you to enter first and after a few years, the three ancestors would leverage connections to exchange resources and help you join another Immortal in our sect, but since you have this opportunity, it’s timely."
He looked at Su Yu and earnestly suggested:
"I don’t intend to separate you two, but there’s only one quota. It’s a rare opportunity. You’re both still young, and the path of cultivation is long. In the future, core formation and becoming an Immortal without a good mentor’s protection will pose many unknown hardships."
"Now it’s only a short separation, but it will save you unknown amounts of time in the future."
"Moreover, our Qingxu Temple and the Profound Clarity Upper Sect belong to the Explanatory Sect lineage and are ally sects with a close relationship. There’s even a direct teleportation array between the sects. You can visit each other whenever you miss each other, arriving in a flash."
"I see!"
Su Yu and Qingchan exchanged a glance, understanding each other’s thoughts, and jointly smiled and said:
"Then let’s do it!"
As Luo Nanfeng said, there’s no difference between each joining a different sect and both joining Qingxu Temple since they can teleport to meet anytime.
He joins the Profound Clarity Sect as an Immortal seed, and she joins Qingxu Temple as an Immortal seed, too.
Moreover, she has family protection over there, which is reassuring for him.
Both are of strong character, and once they’ve made a decision, they don’t change it.
In the days that followed, the couple spent their days and nights together, cherishing their limited time together.
Time passed, and before they knew it, several months had passed.
A month before the sects opened their gates widely, Su Yu left Dragon Ao Immortal City with the old Immortal Yu Xian, while Qingchan had left for Qingxu Temple with Luo Nanfeng a week earlier.
Above the auspicious clouds, Yu Xian sat cross-legged on the cloud cluster, placing a tea table in front of Su Yu. The two of them drank tea while traveling.
The auspicious cloud traveled at great speed yet remained extremely stable, with the tea barely rippling.
"Once you’re in the sect, there’s something you should know first."
The old Immortal took a delightful sip of tea and said to Su Yu:
"I can guarantee your direct entry into the sect as an official disciple without a test and can ensure that you will definitely be accepted under an elder in our sect. However, you won’t have a choice of which elder, as it will be arranged by the sect, depending on which elder takes a liking to you and is willing to accept you as a disciple."
