After consuming the demon at, Brandon Jiang imdiately felt the spiritual energy of heaven and earth penetrate the walls of the cabin and surge toward him!
Apparently, the cabin of the flying boat only blocks spiritual energy or power from inside to outside, but not from outside to inside.
Brandon quickly refined this spiritual energy, converting it into his own cultivation.
However, the amount of spiritual energy was too vast for him to fully digest at once, so he temporarily stored it in his dantian.
Gradually, a second mass of ownerless spiritual energy ford in his dantian.
This change delighted Brandon. He hadn't expected the demon at to have an effect similar to a Qi Gathering Pill, allowing him to temporarily store the gathered spiritual energy in his dantian.
This gave him another thod to store spiritual energy.
After a long while, the effect of the demon at in gathering spiritual energy from heaven and earth faded, and Brandon concluded his cultivation.
He carefully sensed his body but didn't notice any miraculous changes.
"Why does it feel no different from usual?"
Brandon was puzzled, but it might be because he hadn't used any Daoist Arts yet.
He decided to test his Daoist Arts when he had the chance to see how much the demon at had enhanced their power.
Just as he finished testing the effects of the demon at, Brandon suddenly felt the flying boat co to a stop.
With a click, the cabin door opened.
This ant he was now far from Human Emperor City.
But where exactly he had been taken depended on whether Lisa Chen intended to send him away or see him off.
Brandon was extrely cautious as he opened the cabin door and stepped onto the deck.
He saw the flying boat hovering over a bustling city. Seeing Brandon co out, Lisa Chen said:
"This is Xionghu City, one of the cities under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Lotus Sect. Once you enter, you can directly contact your senior sister in the sect."
"Miss Wang, it's unfortunate you couldn't join Human Emperor City. It seems our fates are not aligned. Let's part ways here."
Lisa Chen's tone was sincere, without a trace of the arrogance typical of a Foundation Establishnt cultivator.
As for Xionghu City, Brandon had seen it on the map. There indeed was such a city within the Heavenly Lotus Sect's territory, so Lisa Chen wasn't deceiving him.
Lisa Chen, or rather the straightforwardness of Human Emperor City, moved Brandon slightly. He solemnly bowed and said:
"Fairy Chen, it's not that I was unwilling to burn those external possessions, but I used them to test Human Emperor City."
"Now it seems I judged you with a petty heart. I was suspicious of a perfectly reasonable request, making a fool of myself in front of you."
"After this test, I am completely convinced that Human Emperor City is a truly righteous sect. I humbly request Fairy Chen to give another chance to join Human Emperor City!"
Lisa Chen smiled slightly and nodded:
"You're teachable. Let's go back then."
Brandon felt embarrassed and said:
"Sorry to trouble you for this trip."
Lisa Chen shook her head with a smile:
"No problem. Miss Wang, your actions were not wrong but rather correct."
"Your continuous testing of Human Emperor City shows how much you value it."
"Choosing you is also a process of you choosing Human Emperor City. Only with mutual trust can Human Emperor City develop better."
Brandon nodded in agreent.
This was the kind of speech a righteous person would give, unlike the scheming won of the Heavenly Lotus Sect, who constantly plotted against each other. Even the junior sisters he had personally trained would try to kill him if they were displeased. Where was the consideration for mutual promotion and developnt?
Such a demonic sect was bound to fall!
Brandon returned to the cabin and, after a long wait, arrived back at the Mortal Shedding Hall in Human Emperor City.
Inside the hall, Frank Fan was waiting anxiously.
Seeing Brandon return, Frank was overjoyed and hurriedly approached, saying:
"Senior Sister Wang! I knew soone as good as you would co to your senses. Let's quickly burn all these external possessions and let them move on."
Brandon nodded, waved his hand, and in an instant, a mountain of mortal bodies and the corpses of cultivators from various factions appeared in the Mortal Shedding Hall.
The sheer number of them made even Lisa Chen show a look of surprise.
The amount of human corpses Frank had burned before was nothing compared to this.
Frank's mouth dropped open in shock, and he said:
"Senior Sister Wang, your killing intent was too strong before!"
Brandon shrugged and said:
"I never harm mortals. All these mortals were captured from the demonic cultivators and so-called righteous cultivators I killed."
Frank's expression softened slightly, but he soon beca angry again and said:
"Among these human corpses, only a few are cultivators, yet they hard so many innocent lives!"
"The outside cultivation world is a ss!"
Lisa Chen didn't say much, just threw all the bodies into the flas.
The raging fire quickly reduced the mountain of bodies to ashes.
At this mont, Lisa Chen chuckled and said:
"Earlier, I noticed you cultivating on the flying boat, Miss Wang. I thought you had used all the human sacrificial furnaces in your storage bag, but it seems I was mistaken."
Brandon instinctively said:
"I've already decided to join Human Emperor City, so I wouldn't do sothing so disgraceful. On the flying boat, I used..."
However, halfway through his sentence, Brandon suddenly realized sothing, and his heart sank!
Wait!
How did Lisa Chen know I was cultivating?!
At that ti, we should have already left Human Emperor City! Regardless of the origin of the cultivator, without using a sacrificial furnace, it’s impossible to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!
Without sensing the spiritual energy, how could she detect the change in the surrounding spiritual energy?!
Sothing's not right here!!!
Brandon's face turned pale, but he didn't dare to voice his suspicion.
However, Lisa Chen had already noticed the change in Brandon's expression and quickly responded with a smile:
"Miss Wang, don't overthink it. My flying boat has a function to detect fluctuations in spiritual energy. I can't sense the spiritual energy myself from outside."
"Oh, I see!"
Hearing this explanation, Brandon let out a sigh of relief.
It was a false alarm; he had been overthinking!
Then, Lisa Chen took out two identity jade tokens, inscribed their nas on the spot, and handed the tokens to them, saying:
"Both of you have burned away the evil intent on you and officially shed your mortal status."
"From now on, you are official disciples of Human Emperor City, entitled to all the benefits of a Qi Refining cultivator in Human Emperor City."
"The identity jade tokens contain the unique breathing techniques of Human Emperor City. Please study them carefully when you return, beco stronger quickly, and contribute to the protection of Human Emperor City."
Rubbing the jade tokens engraved with the words "Human Emperor City" in their hands, both of them looked solemn and responded in unison.
Brandon even considered revealing his real na to Lisa Chen and asking her to re-engrave his identity token.
But thinking that he would have to return to the Heavenly Lotus Sect soon, he dismissed the idea for now.
He would reveal his true na once he completely left the Heavenly Lotus Sect.
