The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 558 - 485: Shangqing Sect

"Did we make it out?"

While Yuan Bao was dumbfounded, Wei Wushang was also at a loss.

Wei Dingjiang, the Eldest Princess, and the accompanying guards all wore expressions of bewilderment.

Before setting out, everyone was prepared to endure various hardships and sufferings in the Hanhai Desert. Many had even contemplated dying there, arranging their affairs in advance.

But now, after just one day and one night, they had crossed the Hanhai Desert without encountering any sandstorms or dangers.

"We probably did make it out, right?"

Wei Dingjiang looked at the vast green mountains ahead, "Anyway, such an expanse of mountains doesn’t exist outside the Hanhai Desert, whether in Daxia or Beili."

"So there’s only one answer, and that’s we made it out!"

"But this was too easy!"

The Eldest Princess exclaimed in surprise, "Isn’t it said that crossing the Hanhai Desert is a journey of near-death?"

"It’s probably because our Jiaojiao has good luck!"

Wei Dingjiang had only this explanation, "If I’m not mistaken, the Hanhai Desert isn’t just a regular desert; it’s a natural array."

"Our Jiaojiao’s luck is good; she entered the array and came right out."

"As for others, they might have been trapped in the array, going in circles. With good luck, they might come out eventually; with bad luck, they might really die in the Hanhai Desert!"

Upon hearing Wei Dingjiang’s explanation, Yuan Bao nodded thoughtfully, thinking that must be the case.

It’s a pity that if the Abandoned Land connecting the Hanhai Desert had a wealth of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, she could’ve really struck it rich.

"Let’s go and find some place with people to understand the situation, then inquire about the location of the Xuanxin Sect!"

As the head of the family, Wei Dingjiang took the initiative.

To this, Yuan Bao had no objections.

Although she had learned the cultivation techniques of the Shangqing Sect and Daxue Mountain, Ying Li was her mentor. If possible, she still wanted to join the Xuanxin Sect.

Though she still didn’t know who had framed her master, as long as she demonstrated her extraordinary talent, it would be easy to uncover the truth.

Besides, Yuan Bao’s current strength was quite formidable.

Frankly speaking, unless faced with those monster-level beings in the sects, even against regular elders, Yuan Bao was unmatched.

Because she had already reached the Third Realm of cultivation!

First Realm Refining Essence and Qi, Second Realm Refining Qi and Spirit, Third Realm Refining God and Returning Void.

Back in Daxia, Yuan Bao could easily defeat Ying Li and the others at the Second Realm. According to Ying Li, a strong practitioner of Refining God and Returning Void could dominate any sect.

With the foundation of mastering the top three sects’ cultivation techniques, Yuan Bao in the Third Realm was undoubtedly a top existence.

As for whether she could contend with someone at the Fourth Realm, that remained unknown.

After all, without having faced it, nothing could be said for sure.

According to Ying Li, reaching the Fourth Realm made one invincible in the world; crossing the Fourth Realm meant becoming a true Immortal.

Yuan Bao didn’t know if she could cross the Fourth Realm, but she knew reaching it wouldn’t take much time.

The saying "A horse dies before reaching the mountain it sees" is indeed true.

Though they had left the Hanhai Desert and saw mountains ahead, it took them almost an entire day to reach the mountain base.

It wasn’t until the sun started setting that they spotted a village.

Houses with green tiles and blue bricks, with kitchen smoke curling up.

Yuan Bao and her group saw many children playing at the village entrance, and the children’s clothes were noticeably different from theirs.

"Kids, what village is this?"

Being slightly older than these small children, Yuan Bao naturally took on the role of communicator.

"Wow, pretty sister, are you an actress?"

"Yes, I am. Can you tell me the name of your village?"

Through Ying Li, Yuan Bao had learned part of the world’s situation.

Therefore, before coming out, they set an identity for themselves as actors filming a period drama.

The only drawback was that they didn’t have any filming equipment.

But sometimes, those things aren’t very necessary.

"This is Kao Shan Village!"

"Are you here to film at Kao Shan Sect?"

"I can show you the way!"

"Quite a few people like to film at Kao Shan Sect!"

"Sister, sister, can I be an actor?"

A group of children surrounded Yuan Bao, chattering non-stop.

Listening to them, Yuan Bao finally realized their position. Honestly, their luck wasn’t so good!

Though they had left the Hanhai Desert, their location was far from the Xuanxin Sect.

Conversely, they were closer to the Shangqing Sect.

The mountain range where Kao Shan Sect is located is essentially the same place as Shangqing Sect, just with one at the periphery and the other in the core area.

The strength gap between the two sects is vast.

Shangqing Sect is among the top sects, while Kao Shan Sect is mainly a gimmick.

"We’re not here to film at Kao Shan Sect!"

Yuan Bao shook her head, "We’re heading to Shangqing Sect!"

"That’s far away!"

"Sister, let me tell you, the road to Shangqing Sect is tough,"

"My brother went to apply at Shangqing Sect but didn’t succeed; people there are really strong! You might not be able to go up the mountain just for filming!"

"It’s okay, we’re just going to try!"

Considering the distance, Yuan Bao decided to join Shangqing Sect directly, then reveal her exceptional talent.

Then, all the sects in the world would know about her, a peerless genius from the Abandoned Land. Once she showed her good relationship with her master, there’d be no worry about getting them out.

"Jiaojiao, is this appropriate?"

When Wei Wushang heard Yuan Bao wanted to apply at Shangqing Sect, he slightly furrowed his brows.

"It should be fine; I talked to my master before we left!"

"If they want to come out sooner, we can only join Shangqing Sect. Otherwise, going to Xuanxin Sect from here could take months!"

"The main issue is, we’re all undocumented!"

Though this world has advanced technological creations, without ID, doing anything here is difficult, and the local authorities could target them at any moment.

Yuan Bao was strong, but not yet invincible in the world, so when it was time to stay low-key, she still had to be!

A genius, if not fully grown, once dead, is just a failure.
