Chapter 13: The Incident of Registration
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
With so many people going to register for the competition, Bai Weiwei naturally wouldn’t fall behind.
However, since she had just come back, she took some time to ask around and finally understood what the Sage Mystic Realm was. So, when she went to register, most of the disciples had finished the process.
But it was still not too late.
When Bai Weiwei came to the entrance of the Underground Palace, she saw only an inner sect senior, who was in charge of the registration. He was tidying up his things at the registration counter.
Bai Weiwei said politely, “Hello, senior brother. I’m here to register.”
“Oh? Come and register.” Senior brother Liu from the inner sect didn’t look up because he had already lost count of the number of people who had come to register recently. He was very busy!
Thus, he pointed at a wooden tablet and gestured for her to write down her name.
Bai Weiwei wrote her name and handed it over to him.
When he saw the name Bai Weiwei on the wooden tablet, he looked up in surprise.
He frowned and said, “Bai Weiwei?”
Senior brother Liu thought for a moment and decided he’d stop her from signing up!
The reason was very simple. After the Sword Worship Assembly, everyone in the sect knew Bai Weiwei and what she had done.
Many people were shocked by the news that Elder Xuan had become her master.
They were worried that after Bai Weiwei registered, Xuan Yi would privately take this disciple of his to explore the realm. After all, he had done this with Wang Hu and Lin Yingxue in the past, so they had a good reason to be worried.
The Sage Mystic Realm was so important and they didn’t want Bai Weiwei, a wastrel who couldn’t even activate the seven-colored stone tablet, to steal a precious spot from them.
Everyone who had signed up gave senior brother Liu a low-grade spirit stone. Although low-grade spirit stones weren’t important to inner sect disciples, with so many people signing up, he had received a considerable amount of wealth in the last couple of days.
To repay those disciples, he wouldn’t let Bai Weiwei sign up for the competition!
In addition, he knew that Elder Xuan was currently in the sect’s forbidden zone making preparations for the trip to the mystic realm.
Thinking of this, Liu Yun knew what to do.
“Ahem, Bai Weiwei, you’d better wait until tomorrow to sign up. Moreover, with your strength, you’d better not join in the fun. If you get hurt, you’d complain to Elder Xuan!” Liu Yun said expressionlessly.
“Tomorrow? According to sect master’s words, the deadline is today. Tomorrow is the Underground Palace Competition!” Bai Weiwei said with a frown.
Liu Yun was displeased when he saw Bai Weiwei was so stubborn, but he still said calmly, “I’m doing this for your own good. You’re still young, so you should focus on building a good foundation. This expedition is very dangerous. If you get hurt, you’ll regret it.”
“Senior brother, you are wrong. We sword cultivators must first cultivate our heart and make it fearless. Only in this way can we follow the Sword Dao and make progress!” Bai Weiwei said firmly.
These words deeply stung Liu Yun.
He was an inner sect disciple and had never believed in the sword in his hand. During a fight, he injured his foundation, and his cultivation strength stopped at the first level of the Golden Core Realm. After that, the sect gave him a good job considering that he had served the sect for dozens of years. Now, he had stopped seeking Dao, and spent all his time on earning spirt stones.
Now, Bai Weiwei was talking about the Dao heart in front of him, which hurt his feelings.
In his view, Bai Weiwei was just a lucky outer sect disciple. She did not have any background and her talent was not recognized by the seven-colored profound stone tablet. Her life changed just because she had a good master. Now, she actually dared to lecture him.
Obviously, she had no respect for her seniors. This was simply outrageous!
He angrily shouted, “Humph! I said you can’t register today.”
Bai Weiwei got suspicious and asked, “Why?”
“Because, I’m in charge of this. I have the final say!” Liu Yun released the pressure of the first level of Golden Core Realm, trying to suppress her.
He was not afraid. After all, Xuan Yi was in closed door cultivation, and the other sect elders would not stand up for a puny disciple at the?fifth level of Qi Condensation Realm.
More importantly, even if Elder Xuan was to hold him accountable, he would say that Bai Weiwei’s strength was weak, and it would be a waste of the sect’s resources to let her register. After all, no one would think a disciple at the fifth level of Qi Condensation Realm was a genius.
But what surprised him was that Bai Weiwei, at the fifth level of Qi Condensation Realm, was actually able to withstand his pressure.
It must be known that even a Foundation Establishment Realm disciple wouldn’t dare to face the imposing pressure of a Golden Core Realm cultivator.
Then, Liu Yun saw the spirit sword in Bai Weiwei’s hand. It was a supreme grade sword, which further confirmed his previous conjecture.
This girl was merely relying on Elder Xuan. If not for this spirit sword, she would have spewed blood and died under his pressure.
Bai Weiwei did not know what he was thinking.
This bit of pressure from him felt like a breeze as she activated the Supreme Yin Scripture. She felt no pressure at all.
However, she didn’t want to argue with him. Since he didn’t let her register, then she wouldn’t register.
In any case, according to the sect master, she only needed to defeat one of the ten participants to get a spot.
Tomorrow morning, powerful inner sect disciples would come and challenge the participants in the Underground Palace.
She would just wait and defeat one of them.
She didn’t believe that with the supreme cultivation technique and the supreme-grade spirit sword that her master gave her, she couldn’t defeat a few inner sect disciples.
Although Bai Weiwei had been busy with her own matters these past few days, she had never stopped cultivating.
In her opinion, the Supreme Yin Scripture was very powerful. Every time she cultivated it, she would gain deeper understanding of it, as if it was a cultivation technique specially designed for her.
Her master had chose this wonderful cultivation technique for her. She was grateful to her master’s consideration and hoped that she would not let him down.
Although she did not care about her own reputation, she cherished her master’s reputation especially after he had helped her so much. As a disciple, she could only use her abilities to show everyone that her master was right.
Therefore, she turned around and walked to the entrance of the Underground Palace with the sword in her hand.
She stood there with her eyes closed, waiting for other disciples to come and attend the competition in the Underground Palace!
Liu Yun shook his head and said with a chuckle, “What a joke. You wouldn’t pass the Underground Palace test just because you come early. Although you are the personal disciple of an elder, your strength is too weak to fight with the inner sect disciples.
“Moreover, without the registration nameplate, you don’t even have the qualification to challenge!”
However, Bai Weiwei, stood there in a white robe, didn’t hear him. At this moment, she was practicing the Supreme Yin Scripture again and again, preparing for the big battle tomorrow.
