"You must be joking! Master Lian never accepts disciples!" Qing Meixiang exclaimed.
Jirandai Tang accepted this news more easily, but he was more interested in who had injured Al’gath.
"Renshu Chang, who was it that seriously injured Al’gath?"
"It was Martial Aunt. She is a disciple of Senior Tian Wuya," Renshu Chang replied through voice transmission.
Jirandai Tang’s eyes immediately fixed on Amalia, not expecting it to be her, "So, you’re a disciple of Senior Tian Wuya? No wonder. I’ve heard that Senior Tian Wuya’s Heaven’s Cataclysmic Blade is incredibly powerful and tests a person’s willpower. For you to use it and defeat Al’gath is truly impressive. One day, when you advance to the Nascent Soul stage, let’s have a match."
"I don’t like sparring. I only fight to the death," Amalia said coldly.
Jirandai Tang was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter, "Only fighting to the death, huh? I see my mindset is still not as strong as yours. Defeating Al’gath wasn’t just luck, I see."
"Are you speaking to your Martial Aunt in a senior tone?"
The atmosphere immediately grew tense.
Renshu Chang wanted to cover his face—here we go again.
It seemed like this junior master uncle really enjoyed using her seniority to pressure others.
"Say less," Amalia said.
"I won’t," Kenny Lin stubbornly replied.
"Senior Brother Chang, this junior master uncle seems a bit strange. She doesn’t really act like a senior," Qing Meixiang sent a voice transmission to Renshu Chang.
Just then, Kenny Lin suddenly turned around to Qing Meixiang, smiling, "Are you secretly saying bad things about me to Renshu Chang?"
Qing Meixiang was startled.
How did he know she was talking to Senior Brother Chang?
"Curious about how I knew you were talking to Renshu Chang?" Kenny Lin continued, showing a row of teeth in his grin, "It’s because I can read minds. Whatever you’re thinking, I can hear it."
Qing Meixiang was so scared that she didn’t dare think about anything else.
Sect Leader Qing, Qing Meixiang’s father, cleared his throat.
Was it really okay to bully his daughter right in front of him?
"Alright, it’s time to go," Sect Leader Qing said.
He quickly released a flying boat, which was even larger than the one Elder Wang had used.
It could easily carry a hundred people, so some disciples who were also returning to the sect joined them on board.
As soon as Amalia got on the flying boat, she pulled Kenny Lin to a corner to meditate and cultivate.
She had absorbed so much strange energy in the secret realm that if she didn’t refine it soon, it could easily block her meridians.
"You focus on refining your spiritual energy, and I’ll keep watch," Kenny Lin said.
He didn’t need to meditate.
The way he absorbed spiritual energy was different from Amalia’s.
Kenny Lin mainly fed the energy to the Yin-Yang Pearl he possessed.
No matter how impure or wild the spiritual energy was, the Yin-Yang Pearl could absorb it all.
The Yin-Yang Pearl wasn’t just a big eater; it was like a bottomless pit.
It could handle any kind of energy, no matter how chaotic or intense, and turn it into purer energy that benefited Kenny Lin.
Because of this, he didn’t really need to meditate to cultivate.
For him, doing nothing still counted as cultivating, unlike most people who had to actively practice to improve.
Amalia had already figured this out.
Even though Sect Leader Qing called her a top-level genius, Amalia believed that Kenny Lin was the real chosen one.
Amalia’s Soltice Ring could store living things and even had defensive abilities, which seemed amazing.
It was especially helpful when she was on Earth, where the cultivation system was incomplete, and her advantages were clear.
But after arriving in the Mystic Void Continent, where even three-year-old kids could fly, and all the sects had complete methods for cultivation, her Soltice Ring didn’t seem as impressive.
Even when the top gray shelf in the ring unlocked, it didn’t bring her much benefit—just some travel notes from a powerful cultivator and a collection of cultivation methods.
Amalia had learned the Eight Gods Blade technique, which was already extremely powerful.
After becoming a student of Senior Tian Wuya, she mastered the Heaven’s Cataclysmic Blade, a technique just as strong as any top-level blade technique.
However, the Soltice Ring’s previous owner might not have been a blade cultivator because the techniques inside were a mix of different styles, mostly sword techniques.
A person’s energy is limited; it’s impossible to master every secret technique and excel at all of them.
Unlike Kenny Lin, who could cultivate even while sleeping, Amalia gained her current strength through her own hard work.
"Try not to draw too much attention," Amalia said, uncertain if Master Lian had noticed the Yin-Yang Pearl within her.
The Yin-Yang Pearl was an extraordinary treasure, so the fewer people knew about it, the better.
"Alright," Kenny Lin agreed, sitting cross-legged in front of her.
Amalia tossed him a bag of top-quality spirit stones.
In her storage space, she also had dozens of devil cores collected from the devils they had slain, though she didn’t plan to use them for crafting right now since it wasn’t the right time to take them out in public.
After Amalia closed her eyes to meditate, Kenny Lin suddenly opened his eyes and stared at her face for a moment before closing them again.
Under his control, the Yin-Yang Pearl rapidly accelerated the process of converting energy.
Though he could cultivate passively, actively using the Yin-Yang Pearl sped up his cultivation by several times.
Kenny Lin absorbed the energy from the top-quality spirit stones at a frantic pace, shattering one after another.
His cultivation speed was so fast that even the spirit stones couldn’t keep up, and soon, the surrounding spiritual energy began gathering towards him.
"Hm?" Sect Leader Qing, sitting at the front of the flying boat, suddenly noticed the unusual flow of spiritual energy.
He scanned the area with his senses and quickly identified the source as Kenny Lin in the corner.
