Chapter 232: Visitors from the Southern Wilderness p2
Today, the Two Polarities Sect wasn’t just hosting talented disciples from the Eastern Realm. Prodigies from the Western Regions, Yu State, Qing State, and other realms, along with their accompanying elders, had also arrived.
As Regina’s gaze swept over them, their Primordial Spirits were completely exposed to her. Their future actions, their past, and even events that would happen in the near future, were all laid bare before her.
“There are indeed many talented individuals participating in the Ascension Ceremony, but I haven’t seen many from the Two Polarities Sect. Are they all still in seclusion?” Regina asked the senior sister who was leading them.
“Most of the disciples participating in the Ascension Ceremony are in the Jade Glass Palace. That large hall over there,” the senior sister replied with a smile.
Regina looked towards the Jade Glass Palace.
At this moment, many sect disciples were strolling by the lakeside, chatting, sparring, or sipping tea while discussing the Dao.
Regina’s eyes shone with a brilliant light, and the disciples’ Primordial Spirits were instantly revealed to her.
After a moment, she withdrew her gaze, a charming smile curving her lips.
Apart from a few noteworthy individuals, the others weren’t worth mentioning.
The young man beside her seemed to have sensed something. He transmitted his voice, “Holy Maiden, have you detected any threatening individuals?”
“No real threats,” Regina replied calmly through voice transmission.
She appeared delicate and fragile, but her words were filled with an almost arrogant confidence.
However, neither the young man nor the elder was surprised.
For the Southern Wilderness’s most talented individual, a bit of arrogance was understandable.
“It seems the Eastern Realm’s geniuses are nothing special,” the young man chuckled.
“Don’t underestimate the geniuses from the Primordial Clans. We can’t be careless,” the elder warned them through voice transmission.
Regina nodded slightly, her eyes thoughtful. “The Two Polarities Sect is the sacred land for cultivators in the Eastern Realm. There’s no way they wouldn’t have any true prodigies.”
“Elder, wait for me outside. I’ll go inside the Jade Glass Palace and take a look.”
“I’ll go with you,” the young man immediately said.
As they entered the hall, the disciples within turned their attention towards the two visitors from the Southern Wilderness.
The Southern Wilderness’s cultivation system was completely different from the Eastern Realm’s. They were determined to win the top spot in the Ascension Ceremony and had undoubtedly sent their best disciples.
These two were likely those prodigies.
Facing everyone’s gazes, Regina simply smiled gently.
Her slender and graceful figure, coupled with her delicate and somewhat sickly aura, along with her gentle smile, easily evoked a sense of goodwill.
“Third-grade Core Formation, fourth-grade Core Formation…”
“Ninth-grade Foundation Establishment…”
“Second-grade Core Formation.”
Regina strolled along the lakeside, seemingly admiring the Jade Glass Palace, but her gaze was actually observing the surrounding disciples with interest.
Soon, a hint of disappointment appeared in her eyes.
Logically, the Two Polarities Sect shouldn’t be without a single true prodigy… But from the moment she stepped into the sect, she hadn’t seen a single genius among the current generation of disciples.
Were they all in seclusion?
The young man beside her also looked around, then glanced at the frail-looking young lady in the low-cut white dress.
Judging from the Holy Maiden’s expression, there wasn’t anyone here she deemed worthy of her attention?
Just as he thought this, he heard Regina utter a surprised “Eh?” Her gaze was fixed on a certain direction.
He followed her gaze and saw a young man in a black and gold robe, a gentle smile on his face.
It was understandable. He had won the bet a few days ago. After comforting the Ye sisters and confirming that they had entered seclusion to receive their inheritances, he had visited Two Polarities Peak and chatted with his senior sister and Feiying.
Now, he was planning to return to the Garden of Heavenly Harmony and present his maid with his ‘reward’ for winning the bet.
“Mengrou would look amazing in black silk and white silk…” Mu Zhi’an thought with a sigh, about to enter the Garden of Heavenly Harmony.
Suddenly, he felt two unfamiliar gazes upon him. He turned his head and saw two people he had never met before.
The woman had pale skin and a delicate, almost sickly aura. Her low-cut dress revealed a hint of her fair skin, her shoulders and neck perfectly proportioned. Her hair cascaded down her shoulders, completing the image of a frail young lady.
As for the young man beside her… simply put, he wasn’t as handsome as Mu Zhi’an.
Is she checking me out…? As an Innate Spiritual Body, Mu Zhi’an quickly sensed something and glanced at the seemingly frail Holy Maiden from the Southern Wilderness.
A playful smile curved his lips. He nodded at them in greeting, then entered the Garden of Heavenly Harmony.
Regina watched him leave, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
The young man beside her frowned and asked, “Holy Maiden, is that person strong?”
“Average. Only third-grade Core Formation,” Regina replied, her voice melodious.
“Then why were you staring at him—”
“His Primordial Spirit is interesting.” Regina glanced at the sign that read ‘Garden of Heavenly Harmony’.
Although his cultivation level was average, the composition of his Vessel was quite peculiar. It wasn’t made up of a single type of Spiritual Energy but several.
Even his constitution was complex.
And she couldn’t see his past or future… It was as if his fate was shielded from divination.
It seemed he had a powerful backer.
“An interesting Primordial Spirit…?” the young man repeated, then shook his head and chuckled as he saw Regina’s intrigued gaze fixed on the Garden of Heavenly Harmony.
“An interesting Primordial Spirit won’t affect the Ascension Ceremony.”
He continued, “Holy Maiden, let’s go back.”
“You’re right.”
Regina smiled faintly, about to turn and leave.
But just as she was about to look away, she suddenly froze, her gaze fixed on the entrance of the Garden of Heavenly Harmony.
After a moment of hesitation, her body trembled slightly.
The young man beside her noticed her unusual behavior and called out, “Holy Maiden—”
However, before he could finish speaking, Regina’s voice, trembling slightly, interrupted him.
“There’s… something in that courtyard.”
