Directly Applying

'Oh? Do you know this ancestor better than the others?' Lin Xiang was quick to pick up on Xie Ya's brief change of mood.

He considers what Xie Ya had a particular interest in as something important enough to think about.

Xie Ya slightly creased her brow. She spoke after a moment. "Well...it's kind of a complicated matter. I was helped so heavily helped by her and want to return the favor. But she's really set in her ways. I can get it since she really hasn't encountered a higher mountain, but still, her potential can be so much more! Haah...sorry about the ramble. You'll get what you mean if you ever decide to see her.'

'I see...' Lin Xiang felt a bit of intrigue. But for now, they had to resolve current matters.

He suddenly stopped and pointed ahead of him. 'Here we are. The Sacred Emperor Mansion. The strongest organization within this city.'

Stopping as well, Xie Ya swept her gaze over to a glorious mansion.

This was a mansion that couldn't be normally understood. The space it occupied was extensively long, needing to be miles extended out!

Numerous Law rune inscriptions were engraved all along the mansion. Every spark of Law rune exudes a potent sensation of the mystical source of Profound law.

No cultivators flew into this mansion. Every single person needed to abide by the rules and walk on the ground, no matter the entrance they chose.

Xie Ya's gaze was largely indifferent. She lightly commented, 'The strongest organization in the city, eh? Their name certainly is overbearing. But, they really don't look too special. Why are we here?'

Lin Xiang calmly explained, 'Because no matter how ordinary they look to you, this place still has the backing of a Divine ancestor. Where there's a Divine ancestor, there's bound to be interesting cultivation arts and perhaps even an inheritance ground to explore. Now, can you honestly say across the entire continent, or really, the planet, that it's a simple task to reach the Divine realms?'

That caused whatever counter Xie Ya had to lodge in her throat. No matter a person's back ground or personality, the facts of the divine realms were undeniable. That's a dimension of power surpassing all mortal means of cultivators.

Silent for a moment, she ends up begrudgingly saying, 'No...no, I really can't. Even the Divine Kingdoms struggle to produce just two Divine Lord experts for tens of thousands of years. These are people who do have the genuine talent to reach those so-called higher planes and ascend into a new dimension of power. So, I suppose there can be some good stuff here.'

Lin Xiang nearly cracked a smirk at her words. Indeed, in the lower realms, the standard of talent is much lower than in the higher Sacred World.

Far fewer special bloodline users, rare high-tier cultivation arts, rarer special cultivation physiques or innate physiques, less special monstrous beasts, and definitely a lack of high-realm cultivation masters to guide the younger generation.

But, the most major reason why lower realm cultivators struggle to reach divinity falls heavily on the environment.

These lower realm planes have very weak world source energy and weak source essence of Profound Laws. It's inevitably harder to cultivate in such an environment where everything is thousands of times weaker compared to the higher realm.

Within the Sacred World, that entire higher realm is heavily enriched by the rules and laws of the Great Dao. As if the Sacred World was where the Great Dao had originally birthed, thus, exuding a mystical source that permeated every inch of the Sacred World.

Enriched by the guiding source of the Great Dao, it was only natural that higher realm cultivators have far better talents and opportunities.

Naturally, with Xie Ya's current realm, Lin Xiang didn't believe it was the most appropriate time for her to know of these facts.

He simply told her, 'Come. Let's see if our luck is good enough to dig up an opportunity.'

With Lin Xiang in the lead, the duo walked calm, mysterious steps up to the Sacred Emperor Mansion front gate.

Lin Xiang didn't want to waste any time. He directly ignored every other mini entrance meant for lower cultivators.

There was barely, or really, any cultivator at the front entrance. The gates themselves were of magnificent golden shine. Blinding rays of shiny gold continually pumped out, every spark of gold actually filled with an unending amount of powerful particles of Profound Laws.

In front of the gate were two silver armor warriors. Both warriors stood tall and straight, sturdier than a spear itself, and radiated a deadly sharp presence, more deathly than a powerful sword.

Just these two warriors alone stood at a higher existence than all other lowly cultivators. Just their general vicinity rippled with a soul-crushing sensation of Profound Laws.

Any Profound realm or even early layer Heavenly Origin expert would struggle to simply stand a few meters close!

The separation of the cultivation realm is an all-powerful rule. Higher mountains that seemed as if they were already divine beings.

This kind of imposing presence would instantly strike all those coming to the Sacred Emperor Mansion.

Lin Xiang lightly regarded these warriors. 'So they have Heavenly Ruler guarding the main entrance, eh?'

At this time, Xie Ya lightly smirked. 'Oh? These Heavenly Rulers aren't too shabby. They can be counted nearly equal to a high medium force Elder back in my sect.'

As the duo spoke with each other, they silently reached a few meters before the front gate.

No sound could be heard when they appeared. Traveling on the ground with a terrifying understanding of Profound Laws. They would only get detected when they wanted to be detected.

"Hm?"

In an instant, the silver armor warriors slightly tensed up. Their gazes briefly fell on Xie Ya before narrowing squarely on Lin Xiang.

It only felt a bit strange with Xie Ya. Her natural presence was just a bit misty, but the silver armor warriors could still see through her peak Heavenly Origin cultivation base.

Lin Xiang however, he nearly made them scratch their heads.

'Hey, this kid...it certainly has the same sensation as the Heavenly Origin realm. But...damn...his Profound Laws just feel so misty.'

'I'm more than aware. Could it be a cultivation art? But even then, I never heard of an art being able to make one's aura this misty...'

Both silver armor warriors briefly traded thoughts. The mysterious sensations of Lin Xiang's Heavenly Aura just couldn't be ignored. His Profound Laws almost seem as if it was beyond their comprehension!

In every situation for Profound Law cultivators, many things can be decided in just mere moments. Their thoughts could move at lightning-fast speed while their senses can perceive even the tiniest detail in a person.

No cultivator wants to be a fool or played with.

Thus, when it's an evidently capable expert, it was a standard to scope them out as much as possible before talking.

But unbeknownst to either of the silver armor warriors, the height of Lin Xiang's Profound Laws could never be understood by anyone in the Sacred Emperor City.

Unable to grasp a proper scope, one of the silver armor warriors calmly spoke up to them, "You two, halt. What business do you have here?"

Most other Heavenly Origin cultivators would simply get blasted away for daring to go straight to the main entrance.

But a peak Heavenly Origin expert and a young Heavenly Origin expert with a mysterious aura couldn't be ignored. It was enough to hear them out.

Lin Xiang calmly replied, "We are here to apply for a position as Elders. I trust our cultivation base is enough to qualify."

The silver armor warriors pause for a moment. Deep looks were cast up and down Lin Xiang and Xie Ya.

In the end, one of the silver armor warriors nodded and took out a contact ring. "I will inform the Elders. Wait, a moment."

'Hoh? That was more straightforward than I was expecting. Especially considering orthodox and righteous practices values the personality of a cultivator.' Xie Ya spoke with a curious tone.

Lin Xiang chuckled, 'Because while not versed in demonic practices, this mansion mainly wants powerful and talented cultivator to join their ranks. These guys basically want a monopoly across the entire city, thus, as long as they can see the potential within you along with high strength, it's straightforward to join.'

'A monopoly without a genuine Divine Lord ancestor, eh? So they want to overwhelm with numbers. Not a bad plan. But it becomes less messy and complex if they just have several powerful experts holding down the fort. They won't have to fear a potential betrayal this way.'

'Perhaps. Though, when you're this ambitious, there's bound to be risks involved.'

As Lin Xiang and Xie Ya spoke with each other, another all-powerful presence of a Heavenly Ruler rippled throughout the atmosphere.

A greater sensation of impending death exuded from this presence. Any insignificant fool would be instantly cut down to pieces. Even another early layer Heavenly Ruler would get shredded to bits.

Lin Xiang and Xie Ya curiously curled their brows.
