Chapter 503: Chapter 501: Moving into the Island Cave Mansion, Touching the Earth Realm Fifth Layer Barrier, a Terrifying Absorption Stir, Palace Master Astonished

If not, when Lingyao Celestial Palace learns about it from elsewhere later, the awkward situation will be on me.

Since I’m joining them, if I continue using a false name, isn’t it just showing distrust?

So Lu Ye is speaking now to avoid this potential situation.

Standing outside a slightly smaller hall, Sang Xiyao turned her head curiously and asked, "What are you saying? Fellow Daoist Chen, just speak your mind, we’re already one of us."

"Actually... my name isn’t Chen Beixuan." Lu Ye coughed and said, "Before, out of caution, I used a false name. I hope Xiyao Fairy won’t mind."

"My real name... is Lu Ye."

As Lu Ye finished speaking, Sang Xiyao’s eyes widened slightly.

"Ah... what did you say?!"

Sang Xiyao thought she had misheard, feeling that the name Chen Beixuan, which was famous throughout Xuanzhou, was actually a false name?

"You didn’t mishear." Lu Ye shook his head and said, "Mainly, there were reasons hard to explain previously."

"Alright, it’s nothing. When traversing the Jianghu, identities are given by oneself." Sang Xiyao, snapping back to reality, didn’t have any dilemma over this issue.

Using a false identity in Jianghu is not uncommon.

Moreover, now that Lu Ye has revealed his true identity, Sang Xiyao is actually somewhat happy, as this also marks that he’s considering the Celestial Palace as one of his own?

"Come with me, I’ll take you to get your Identity Jade Token. After that, you can freely enter and exit."

The process was quick, and shortly thereafter, Lu Ye’s Identity Jade Token was done.

"Your Silver Envoy identity Token will need two days, as the materials are special; forging it takes some time." Sang Xiyao said as she turned around.

Lu Ye nodded.

"Come with me, I’ll help you choose your abode." Sang Xiyao said, "Now, there aren’t many abodes left on the island, see if there’s one to your liking."

Lingyao Celestial Palace has dozens of islands, apart from the few large ones in the front.

Many islands are independent abode islands, housing only a few people.

Essentially, there’s only a handful of abodes on that island.

Following Sang Xiyao to the smaller islands behind, Lu Ye quickly chose an abode.

At the same time, Sang Xiyao returned once more to the main hall on the primary island.

The Master of Celestial Palace was still inside the hall looking at messages on a Jade Scroll.

Seeing Sang Xiyao return, the Master said, "Tell me, why would Chen Beixuan suddenly want to join the Celestial Palace? Did you say something to him?"

The Master of Celestial Palace clearly understood Sang Xiyao. With just one word, the Master guessed most of Sang Xiyao’s previous motives.

"Sigh, I knew I couldn’t hide anything from your keen eyes, Master." Subsequently, Sang Xiyao recounted her conversation with Lu Ye in detail.

"Oh, by the way, that fellow has also mastered a Domain and feels more complete than mine!"

After saying that, Sang Xiyao added another sentence.

"He can master a Domain?! He just came out of the Yunyao Secret Realm not long ago, right?" Hearing this, even the Master of Celestial Palace was a bit surprised.

Not only comprehending a Domain but having a Domain more complete than that of Sang Xiyao, an Earth Realm Ninth Layer cultivator; isn’t this somewhat...

"I was startled too when I saw it; he used the suppression of the Domain to make the double-headed Void Nine-headed Insect almost powerless before it perished."

Recalling what Lu Ye told her earlier, Sang Xiyao continued, "Oh, there’s one more thing..."

The Master of Celestial Palace raised an eyebrow; why are there so many matters after just one trip?

"What is it?"

"He said... his name isn’t actually Chen Beixuan, that it’s just a false name because he couldn’t use his real name before." Saying this, Sang Xiyao couldn’t help but find it amusing, "He said his real name is... Lu Ye."

"Lu Ye?" The Master of Celestial Palace nodded.

This kid previously provoked Celestial Curtain Prefecture, and Cyan Hidden Sect was eyeing him. Using a false name is understandable.

"But since he’s joined the Celestial Palace now, if those others refuse to abide by the rules still, they might as well be reminded properly." The Master of Celestial Palace remarked lazily.

In the mouth of the Master of Celestial Palace, describing the top forces of Hidden Spirit Land with the word "remind" seemed quite casual.

...

On the other side, Lu Ye arrived at the front of his abode; the space inside was quite large.

Besides the living room and practice room, it was equipped with an additional alchemy room and a fairly large pool along with a garden.

One could say this abode space is the most luxuriously equipped Lu Ye has ever seen.

Truly worthy of Lingyao Celestial Palace.

Additionally, the richness of the Heaven and Earth Source Qi here goes without saying. Feeling a stirring within, Lu Ye sat cross-legged immediately, planning to cultivate first.

And so, instantly, on this small island, the Heaven and Earth Source Qi began to change.

Accompanied by Lu Ye’s resource usage, within a day, he genuinely touched the threshold of Earth Realm Fifth Layer again.

It truly was unexpected for Lu Ye.

Without hesitation, Lu Ye chose to immediately prepare for a breakthrough within the island abode.

The main island of the Master of Celestial Palace is at a distance from Lu Ye’s current island abode.

Yet, even on the main island now, the Heaven and Earth Source Qi has already started to fluctuate.

Gazing toward the nearly constant commotion over there, the Master of Celestial Palace couldn’t help but rub her brow, summoning a person.

"What’s happening over there? Is someone undergoing a breakthrough?"

"Reporting to the Master, it seems so." The maid in the hall responded promptly.

"Who are all the residents in that island abode?" The Master slightly furrowed her brows.

She recalled that island doesn’t have standout abode conditions, resulting in few particularly strong residents there.

By rights, it shouldn’t cause such commotion.

"Reporting to the Master, there are three Copper Envoys, and one Steward, in addition to a newly settled Silver Envoy..."

Upon hearing this, the Master of Celestial Palace sensed something amiss.

"The newly settled Silver Envoy... who is it?"

"It’s the one yesterday, personally led to the affairs hall by Xiyao Envoy, it seems to be named... Envoy Lu Ye?" The maid thought and answered.

Master of Celestial Palace: "..."

It’s him?

Yesterday, Sang Xiyao mentioned this matter.

Chen Beixuan said his real name was Lu Ye; such a short period, and the Master surely couldn’t forget.

But having just arrived for a day, he’s been in such a terrifying absorption state all along.

Now this commotion... seems to be growing; isn’t this a bit intimidating?
