"Who are you, senior?"
Chen Sha stared intently at the towering figure before him, tense and contemplating ways to escape.
Yet he despaired, discovering there was absolutely no way to escape. The person’s strength was beyond imagination. Moreover, he had been aware of him for a year and would never give him the chance to flee.
The towering person arrogantly said, "I am the guardian of the Four Symbols Tower."
HISS!
A re servant, so arrogant?
But Chen Sha dared not express this thought, and a tremor of shock ran through his heart.
This tower turned out to be the Four Symbols Tower, and this person its guardian! It was likely his master was the Golden Spirit Holy Mother!
As expected, the guardian stretched out his hand, easily detained Chen Sha, and flew away with him.
The wind howled in his ears.
Just as Chen Sha’s skin was stinging from the buffeting Gang Wind, they stopped, arriving at a sheer cliff.
Atop the cliff was an opening where there stood a carriage, in which sat an exquisitely beautiful woman. The woman was so beautiful that it was almost unbearable to look at her, and it made one feel ashad and dirty in comparison. Standing beside the carriage was another person, as towering as the guardian and exuding an oppressive aura.
Before Chen Sha could take a longer look, the guardian next to him kicked the back of his knees, forcing him to kneel.
Angry, he turned around, but the guardian raised his hand, ready to blind him.
"Enough."
The ethereal voice of the woman on the sheer cliff carried down, and the guardian stopped.
The woman said, "You are the first young one to erge from the Four Symbols Killing Formation in ten thousand years. Though your talent is dull and your Mana weak, you do have the potential for transformation."
"I am the Golden Spirit Holy Mother, entrusted by my teacher to rebuild the Sect of Interpretation, and I am in need of hands. Would you be willing to join and beco an outer-sect disciple of Jinao Island?"
Chen Sha was taken aback.
So she wanted to recruit him to her fold. His true form could even be a registered disciple under the Tongtian Hierarch, yet here he was, a re incarnation, only able to join the Golden Spirit Holy Mother as an outer-sect disciple. The downgrade in status was incalculable.
He hesitated. He still wanted to beco a disciple of Immortal Taiyi because it was safer. People from the Sect of Interpretation were too murderous and goal-oriented. Rebuilding the sect would undoubtedly be fraught with difficulties, and he didn’t want to be cannon fodder.
"Senior, may I have ti to consider?"
He did not dare outright refuse.
Golden Spirit Holy Mother said, "No, you can only choose to agree or refuse, and you must answer now, imdiately."
Chen Sha’s expression stiffened, and he asked, "What will happen if I refuse?"
HUMM!
Golden Spirit Holy Mother, the guardian, and even the towering man beside the ornate carriage all fixed their gaze on him.
If he hadn’t stepped into the True Immortal Realm, this pressure alone would have been enough to make his body explode and kill him! Chen Sha knew that rejection would likely an a death sentence.
He clenched his teeth and agreed, saying, "I am willing to join Jinao Island and contribute to the future glory of Jinao Island."
Fortunately, it was only as an outer-sect disciple. If anything happened, it wouldn’t be too difficult to leave. Chen Sha decided to agree temporarily. He figured that rebuilding the Sect of Interpretation would definitely require vast resources. When the ti ca, he could skim so off the top without issue, right?
Golden Spirit Holy Mother withdrew her gaze and said, "Do well."
The golden light vanished, and the cliff returned to its original state.
「Flowing Sand River.」
Sha Chen opened his eyes, his expression incredibly complex.
This incarnation is likely to be destroyed on Jinao Island. I never thought I could avoid the Tongtian Hierarch, but not the Golden Spirit Holy Mother. People from the Sect of Interpretation, from top to bottom, are unreasonable. It’s safer in the Flowing Sand River. I’d rather die than leave again!
He continued his cultivation, aiming to reach the Greater Primordial Golden Immortal Realm.
「Half a year later.」
Sha Chen opened his eyes because people had co outside the Formation.
Years had passed, and the spider spirits finally sent news again; this ti, all seven of them had co. After confirming their identities with the Illusion-Breaking Divine Eye, Sha Chen let them all in.
Apart from Seventh Mother, it was the first ti the other sisters were entering the Formation, each of them brimming with excitent. Seventh Mother acted as though she were the host, showing her sisters around and introducing them to the cave dwelling, which elicited waves of admiration and astonishnt.
Seventh Mother, pointing to the dining table, said, "I have eaten here; the General himself cooked the al."
The sisters were filled with envy.
Sha Chen imdiately said he would cook them another al later.
Seventh Mother then proudly pointed to a palace next to where Sha Chen cultivated and said, "This is where I used to cultivate."
The sisters’ eyes were filled with envy.
Sha Chen told them they could each choose a palace in the cave dwelling for their cultivation.
The sisters cheered instantly.
Seventh Mother pointed to the vegetable garden, saying she had eaten vegetables from there. She pointed to the pond, saying she had drunk water from there, and to the dining table, saying she had dined there.
Then, they ca to Sha Chen’s bedroom, and Seventh Mother pointed to Sha Chen’s bed.
The sisters’ eyes went wide, their faces flushed, and they covered their mouths, unable to hold back the tears that were streaming from their eyes. Indeed, they cried—tears of envy.
While they had been fighting tooth and nail outside, nearly getting trapped to death, the youngest sister had spent over a year living with General for Folding the Curtain, and so much had happened.
Sha Chen’s face turned green. He quickly glared at Seventh Mother and said, "Stop just pointing at the bed! Aren’t you going to say anything about it?"
Seventh Mother, with her head down and blushing, said shyly, "I, I used to make the bed for the General here."
The sisters paused for a mont and then rolled their eyes at her.
Making the bed, huh? We thought you’d jumped into it!
The spider spirits created a bathing pool and filled it with Mysterious Heavenly Water for a delightful bath. Within Sha Chen’s cave dwelling, each of the major palaces had a water-repelling Formation, but outside the Formation, they couldn’t stand the water of the Flowing Sand River. They had to take a bath to be comfortable.
Sha Chen kept his promise and went to prepare a feast of delicious dishes for them.
After a while, everyone sat down, with the spider spirits dressed to impress, casting seductive glances frequently. Sha Chen ignored it all, simply urging them to eat and drink.
Eating was fine, but drinking had to be limited. He was afraid that if they drank too much, they would get out of hand.
After three rounds of wine and a variety of dishes, Sha Chen finally found an opportunity to speak. "Ladies..."
Seventh Mother said, "General, you can just call us sisters. We all acknowledge you as our sworn brother."
Sha Chen went along and said, "My sisters, how have you been these past few years outside?"
The spider spirits began to chatter, pouring out all the grievances they had faced outside. They had encountered many dangers, as collecting resources for cultivation attracted a lot of attention and was quite risky. Fortunately, Seventh Mother followed his instructions to seek help from Tianpeng, who helped solve so of their problems. Nevertheless, they still encountered many troubles outside that remained unsolved, and they had actually co to Sha Chen seeking solutions.
Sha Chen’s cheeks twitched. Were these won bringing their troubles back with them?! He almost couldn’t resist the urge to kick them out.
However, the spider spirits presented the fruits of their years of gathering, which included quite a few first-class Immortal Elixirs. This made Sha Chen think they were quite adorable after all.
Sha Chen casually asked, "Right, you ntioned having troubles. What exactly are they?"
Suddenly, he caught himself and said, "Never mind. If you run into trouble, solve it yourselves. After all, you wouldn’t want anyone to say that won are inferior to n."
