Chapter 1522: Chapter 1522

Lord Solar had already sensed that the Sect Master of Leaving Sky Sect had reached the Sixth Realm with Six Merits, and he was only one step away from entering the Seventh Level. Furthermore, judging from the aura he unintentionally emanated, he could take that step at any time.

In the late afternoon, Steven Brown hurriedly arrived, handed his name card and gift list to the attending disciple at the entrance, and then looked up to see that there were more than a dozen people waiting in line before him. He quietly approached the attending disciple and secretly offered a Tire-4 Magical Artifact: "There has been much exchange between my family and your sect. Can senior brother make an exception and let me move forward in the queue?"

The attending disciple returned the favor with a fake smile and said, "Everyone in this queue has connections with our Leaving Sky Sect. If not for some relationship, they would not even be qualified to seek an audience with our esteemed teacher at this time."

Steven Brown could only wait patiently, feeling embarrassed.

By evening, there were still more than ten people who hadn’t been invited upstairs. The attending disciple came out and said, "Fellow friends, it’s getting late, and my Master needs to rest. Please return and come back tomorrow."

Although everyone had complaints, they didn’t dare to make a fuss and could only leave with regret. Steven Brown left feeling distressed, and the arrogance of the four young cultivators was finally destroyed, realizing their position in the Cultivation World of Douglas Country.

Once everyone had left, the inn staff closed the doors and Lord Solar silently attached himself to the outer wall of the top-tier room on the third floor.

The Sect Master and his three direct disciples had dinner together. As soon as they finished, the disciples immediately prepared tea for their Master. The Sect Master held a cup in one hand and lightly tapped a list on the table with the other, "From today’s visitors, I have selected those with outstanding backgrounds and innate talents."

The disciples took a look and said, "We will follow Master’s decision."

The Sect Master glanced at the disciples and said, "You must be very dissatisfied, wondering why I am bringing these outsiders?" The three disciples hurriedly bowed, "We would not dare to question."

As the Sect Master drank his tea, he said, "It’s time to tell you about this. The pass I have was given to me by my old friend, Bentley. Two years ago, he was assigned to Black Dragon Gorge to command the 4,000-strong Reclamation Legion."

Upon hearing this, the disciples suddenly realized the deep friendship between Bentley and their Master, dating back hundreds of years. The two had met and became friends when both were at the Third Great Boundary, and they had gone through adventures together, with each saving the other’s life on numerous occasions.

"Bentley has no family or descendants, so he gave the pass to me. However, both Bentley and I are not at the Seventh Level, and it is almost impossible for us to obtain the Divine Beast Azure Dragon."

The disciples nodded together, feeling a bit disappointed, but they had to accept reality. Even if rumors spread that the Divine Beast favored young Heaven’s Chosen, those at the Seventh Level or above would undoubtedly compete for it first. If the Divine Beast chose them, then everything would be fine. But if it insisted on choosing a young Heaven’s Chosen, the Seventh Realm powerhouses would form a joint alliance to isolate the outsiders and only let their own descendants approach the Divine Beast.

"Master, are we not wasting our time coming here this time?"

However, the Sect Master just smiled and said, "The reason I decided to come and bring all of you along is that Bentley also passed on a piece of news to me..." He paused and scanned his three disciples before saying, "The Divine Beast has laid eggs!"

"What?!" The disciples exclaimed in unison.

The distant Elder Brother was also shocked. Were the eggs laid by the Divine Beast? But the Ghost Corpse Sect suspected that the Divine Beast had already fallen. Which piece of information was true?

The Sect Master waited for the disciples to digest the information before continuing, "Bentley is more familiar with the Black Dragon Gorge Forbidden Area, and he secretly investigated when the rumors first arose and the Protectors had not yet arrived at the Gorge. He found the Divine Beast’s nest, but unfortunately, he was soon discovered by the Divine Beast. Bentley’s cultivation is on par with mine, and he barely managed to escape with his life despite being seriously injured. However, he still managed to see that there were several Beast Eggs in the Divine Beast’s nest."

The disciples’ breathing became heavier as they asked, "How many?"

"Bentley couldn’t see clearly, but our Leaving Sky Sect has a chance to get those Beast Eggs." The Sect Master said, "To obtain such treasures, you need to rely on your luck."

"The reason I’m willing to bring outsiders along is - firstly, to strengthen our side’s power, and secondly, if they happen to get a Beast Egg, our Leaving Sky Sect can still enjoy some benefits from it."

The three disciples had their hearts burning with excitement. If there was only one egg, they wouldn’t dare to hope. But if there were multiple eggs, they could hope to get one or two! Moreover, they did understand their Master’s intentions. Firstly, although the Leaving Sky Sect had Bentley to support them, there were multiple Protectors and Seventh Level powerhouses in the Black Dragon Gorge, and their side was too weak, thus needed to gain more allies.Secondly, if everyone’s good fortune is not enough to obtain a divine beast egg, but someone among the others can, they will always remember the benefits of Leaving Sky Sect. When they hatch the divine beast egg and rise to prominence, they will also take care of Leaving Sky Sect.

The master’s arrangement was very reliable, and the disciples had no objections.

However, Elder Brother Sun was even more puzzled, "If the Divine Beast Azure Dragon has already perished, then naturally, Bentley cannot be driven away. But if the divine beast is still alive, and what the young lady from the Ghost Corpse Sect sensed was the majestic and sacred corpse aura, whose would it be? Even seven-tier or eight-tier demon beasts wouldn’t have this kind of aura..."

The information provided by the Ghost Corpse Sect and Bentley contradicted each other. Elder Brother Sun instinctively trusted the Ghost Corpse Sect more because he knew that the members of the Ghost Corpse Sect had already been suppressed and refined by him, and they had not lied.

"Could it be that Bentley deliberately passed fake news to Leaving Sky Sect, intending to lure them over?"

"What scheme does Bentley have to pit against his old friends?"

Elder Brother Sun had a thought, and Lord Solar floated away, continuing to stare at his previous target. These noble family descendants had already received the exact news, and someone would deliver the pass certificate tomorrow or the day after.

Of course, if Steven Brown could get Leaving Sky Sect’s permission, Elder Brother Sun would also be happy to follow the Leaving Sky Sect into Black Dragon Valley.

After returning to the inn, although Steven Brown was uncertain, he still reassured the little sister and Elder Brother Sun, "I went too late today and did not see Lord Sect Master. However, everyone rest assured, our family and Leaving Sky Sect have a good relationship. I will go early tomorrow, and the Lord Sect Master will surely accept us."

There was no conversation that night. Steven Brown did not sleep and practiced in meditation until the early morning. Before dawn, he rushed out the door to wait outside Smith’s Inn.

There were still many people seeking to see the sect master today. Steven Brown lined up in front and finally saw the sect master, offered gifts, and explained that in addition to himself, there were three other companions from noble families. As long as the sect master was willing to take them in, it would be equivalent to gaining the support of four cultivation aristocracies.

But the sect master still refused him. The guest serving disciple sent Steven Brown out with a downcast look and prepared a return gift, which was worth three parts more valuable than the gift Steven Brown had given.

On his way back, Steven Brown sighed silently, looking up at the sky. If they had previously understood their position in the Douglas Country cultivation world, then today they would understand their family’s true position.

When Steven Brown returned to the inn and explained the situation to the other three, they were all very upset and felt that they couldn’t hold their heads up in front of the little sister.

Elder Brother Sun, on the other hand, comforted them, "You have all done your best. Rest early. There must be a way when we reach the mountains. Don’t be disappointed."

As Elder Brother Sun spoke, Lord Solar was keeping an eye on the largest inn in a small town tens of miles away. He saw a sixth realm cultivator of majestic demeanor open his Storage Brocade Pouch and hand over a pass certificate to a young master.

Early the next morning, there was chaos in the inn. The anger of the young master from the History family of the capital almost burned the entire small county town to ashes. Officials of all sizes in the city knelt and begged for mercy. Just last night, the young master’s pass certificate had been lost!

At the same time, Steven Brown and the others got up listlessly. After eating a few bites of breakfast, they went out to try their luck without much hope.

Logan Hardy was walking aimlessly on the dock, suddenly sensing something and looking at the side of the road. An old predecessor with the appearance of an immortal casually strolled over. When passing by Logan Hardy, the predecessor suddenly stopped and stared at him for a moment, saying, "Young friend, you are destined to be with this old man. Are you willing to accompany me to Black Dragon Valley?"

As the old master spoke, he spread his palm, revealing a pass certificate.
