Yu Jin smiled faintly: "Don't look at me like that. Human geniuses are as vast as the stars. It's not surprising that one or two of them are hidden away."
As vast as the stars, huh...
They didn't know that!
However.
After a second thought, everyone suddenly felt that what the City Lord said was very likely to be true.
After all.
Before Li's sudden emergence, they didn't even imagine that the City Lord had secretly hidden such a top genius.
It was said that the City Lord's strategy was so far-reaching that she had already made arrangements in a remote area like the Southern Azure Continent.
This directly led to the demise of hyper-grade demonic creatures in the Land of Absolute Despair!
The City Lord's strategy was so profound.
Besides Li, who knew if she had secretly cultivated other peerless geniuses?
Judging by the City Lord's current performance.
Could it be that the peerless genius in the Langya Palace was... another one of the City Lord's arrangements?
However.
Peerless genius is one thing.
Why hadn't the others come out this time?
Moreover, at this point in time, so many people were still alive.
Could it be that these thirty-odd disciples all had peerless potential?
Everyone was a little confused.
But, as long as people were still alive, that was the best news.
The Sect Master of Luoxia Sect shamelessly said: "City Lord, I am really worried about my disciple's situation. I wonder if I can wait here for the next few days?"
The others also looked at the City Lord with anticipation.
The longer these people stayed in Langya Palace, the more risk there was. They really couldn't rest assured.
Yu Jin said indifferently: "If you want to wait, then wait."
Her clone rested her chin on her hand and actually fell asleep.
In front of her.
The thirty-one disciples' All-Seeing Eyes were still laid on the ground, and everyone was staring at the situation without blinking.
In the Langya Palace secret realm.
They didn't know that the outside world was already in chaos because they had not left for so long.
Li Shuang had already arrived at the third layer under the leadership of the Third Elder.
There were two ways to reach the third layer.
One was to follow the people on the third layer, open the passage normally, and enter the third layer through official channels.
The second was to forcefully open the passage to the third layer, like Lin An and the others.
Li Shuang naturally did not have such power, so she naturally took the first path.
After entering the passage, in just a blink of an eye, she was already standing on the third layer.
Li Shuang's pupils constricted, and she subconsciously looked up at the sky.
Just like her last fleeting glimpse, this third layer had no ceiling.
The dome of the third layer was a giant net!
This net was woven from countless threads, massive enough to cover the entire Langya Palace.
This was it!
The so-called divine artifact!
The Thousand Silk Net!
"Amazing, isn't it?" The Third Elder said proudly: "This is the divine artifact, the Thousand Silk Net! It has gathered the power of the entire continent for the Langya Sect, and then, tomorrow, it will lead the entire Langya Sect to ascend to the Immortal Realm!"
"The ascension of an entire sect, what a magnificent feat! Moreover, we are carrying colossal amounts of resources! With this, even if we reach the Immortal Realm, we will quickly grow strong."
"The Langya Sect is not only the top sect in the human world, but when we go to the Immortal Realm, we will also be the top sect in the Immortal Realm!"
The Third Elder's eyes were filled with fanaticism.
Li Shuang stared fixedly at the sky.
Divine artifact?
Every thread of this Thousand Silk Net was subtly twisting, emitting an eerie aura almost constantly.
But the Third Elder seemed oblivious to the strange nature of the Thousand Silk Net, still calling it a divine artifact.
In this world.
How could a divine artifact look like this!
"Come. I'll take you to meet the Sect Master. Everyone who comes to the third floor must first meet the Sect Master," the Third Elder said.
Li Shuang's heart fluttered slightly.
The Sect Master of Langya Sect!
Legend has it that he was the one who brought back the Thousand Silk Net and single-handedly promoted the sect's ascension.
Li Shuang activated the Grand Forgetting Art, discarding other emotions, and submissively followed the Third Elder.
The layout of this third layer was very simple.
The sky was a huge Thousand Silk Net.
Under the sky.
There were ten formidable cultivators, standing on ten high platforms in a peculiar formation.
Each high platform was connected by a thick strand of the Thousand Silk Net.
The ends of the strands pulsed with an eerie red light.
In the center of the ten high platforms, there was a gigantic pit.
What was in this pit?
Li Shuang was curious, but at the moment, she couldn't look.
Outside these ten high platforms, nine smaller high platforms each surrounded one of them.
Nine surrounding one, forming a "nine stars in a line" formation.
On each of the nine smaller high platforms also stood a strong cultivator.
In total.
There were a hundred strong cultivators on the platforms.
As Li Shuang looked up, she occasionally saw people laboriously crawling on the Thousand Silk Net, seemingly mending something.
The Third Elder glanced in the direction Li Shuang was looking and said with a smile, "Those are the sect's top artificers. The Thousand Silk Net contains too much spiritual power, and it occasionally goes out of control, so our artificers need to relieve it."
"Things are much better now. At least, we've figured out a feasible method to relieve it."
"Initially, to calm the Thousand Silk Net, many strong cultivators in the sect died for it."
The Third Elder said.
Li Shuang withdrew her gaze, nodded obediently, and tentatively said, "I'm also an artificer. For any artificer, being able to personally interact with the main body of the Thousand Silk Net is a great honor."
The Third Elder looked at her with a smile: "You want to go too? I can't make that decision; it has to be decided by the Sect Master."
Li Shuang honestly agreed.
The Third Elder led her past platforms, finally arriving at the edge of Langya Palace.
At the edge, an old man stood calmly, his gaze directed towards an unknown distance.
At the same time.
Along the entire railing, every few meters, there was a guard. Each guard's strength was at least at the Tribulation Transcending stage.
These people were packed tightly, guarding this third layer like an iron barrel.
"Sect Master, new disciple Li Shuang has been brought," the Third Elder respectfully said.
The old man turned around and looked at Li Shuang calmly.
Li Shuang couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart!
The old man just looked at her calmly, and she inexplicably felt as if she had been completely seen through!
The old man didn't say much. He was like a kind old man, smiling and saying, "As expected, gifted youths emerge. The future of my Langya Sect will rest upon you young people."
Li Shuang quickly showed humility: "This disciple wouldn't dare."
The old man smiled: "No need to be modest. A supreme spiritual root, and such a powerful soul, Li Shuang, you are quite extraordinary."
Li Shuang's pupils constricted sharply.
With just one glance.
The old man had actually seen through her supreme spiritual root.
"Supreme spiritual root?" The Third Elder couldn't help but exclaim, and his expression towards Li Shuang immediately changed.
This was a supreme spiritual root!
The Langya Sect gathered geniuses from the entire continent, but there were only a handful of those with supreme spiritual roots.
Now.
Another disciple with a supreme spiritual root had joined the sect!
