I Have a Compass for Opportunity

On the Spirit Ascension Platform, upon hearing Liou Zhen’s provocation, the corners of Liou Hexuan’s mouth curled slightly. He shot out to land on the Chaotic Scene.

Swoosh! A trail of white, like falling snow feathers, descended, blocking the center between Liou Hexuan and Liou Zhen.

Liou Yuan clearly saw the figure of the one who intervened, and his previously tense body suddenly relaxed.

"Hall Master of the Disciplinary Hall!"

The white radiance dispersed, revealing the elegant form of a celestial crane. Its neck was sculpted like cold jade, its white feathers flowing with a moonlit glow, each feather pure white without a speck of impurity, lightly trembling in the wind, emitting a faint sound akin to metal clanging.

The most chilling thing was those crimson eyes, red as blood.

It was the Artifact Spirit of Sect Leader Xuanyi, also the Hall Master of the Disciplinary Hall, who wielded the power of judgment on the Five Extremes Mountain.

In the moment the celestial crane appeared, the three elders had already stood up from the high platform, bowing respectfully to the crane, greeting it with reverence.

The Hall Master of the Disciplinary Hall, the position with the second greatest power, right under the Sect Leader.

Moreover, the Hall Master himself held Golden Core level power, so even the elders of the Disciplinary Hall dared not act rashly upon seeing him.

Liou Yuan naturally dared not remain standing, bowed with a slightly bent body, but his eyes secretly peered at the scene above.

"Do you think the Chaotic Scene is somewhere you can enter at will?" The celestial crane sneered coldly, loudly reprimanding Liou Zhen on the field and Liou Hexuan, who intended to enter.

The crane’s gaze, especially when it looked at Liou Hexuan, bore a visible warning.

"Put away your petty schemes. Do you think killing Liou Zhen will absolve you? The outcome of the Chaotic Scene is decided; your Fog Vein lost."

"I dare not!" Liou Hexuan slightly lowered his head, his respectful voice without a flaw.

In the interval of being scolded, Liou Zhen remained silent.

A potential conflict was thus resolved by the celestial crane.

Both Liou Zhen and Liou Hexuan present were indeed among the elite at the Peak of Foundation Establishment.

But before the Golden Core level Artifact Spirit, under the absolute power differential, no one dared to defy.

Liou Yuan took all this in, and thought to himself: "Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators are the pillars of the sect, but Golden Cores are those who truly hold the discourse power in this world."

In his contemplation, Liou Yuan saw the celestial crane turn its head towards him.

Its eyes, red like they were soaked in blood, seemed both smiling and not.

Just a single glance made Liou Yuan feel as if his very being was about to be swallowed by those eyes.

Unable to gauge its thoughts, Liou Yuan dared not speak, keeping his head down to avoid eye contact.

Finding it uninteresting, the celestial crane withdrew its gaze and lazily said, "The outcome of the Chaotic Scene is settled; follow me to the Inner Sect."

Before the crane’s lingering voice faded from his ears, Liou Yuan felt his body being enveloped by a force, lifting him uncontrollably into the air.

Drawn by an inexplicable force, he shot towards the edge of the Spirit Ascension Platform, towards the portal leading to the Inner Sect.

Liou Hexuan and Liou Zhen naturally followed closely behind the celestial crane into the portal of the Inner Sect.

After the crane’s entrance, both of them tacitly restrained their animosity.

Even though their gazes were unfriendly, neither dared to make a move.

Thus, only three elders were left maintaining a respectful posture on the Chaotic Scene.

Below the Chaotic Scene, disciples up and down the Five Extremes Mountain had long knelt down. Even after the celestial crane had left, those Outer Sect disciples only dared to rise after a long while.

Suddenly, the Outer Sect was abuzz.

The Hall Master of the Disciplinary Hall, akin to a legendary figure like Xuanyi, was indeed a true Golden Core on the Five Extremes Mountain.

Ordinarily, Outer Sect disciples would scarcely catch a glimpse.

On the other side, due to the celestial crane’s swift speed, Liou Yuan only felt his vision blur. Once he regained clarity, he found himself no longer in the Outer Sect but on a corridor paved with white jade slabs.

The natural patterns on the slabs resembled a cascade of stars, and just by standing on it, he could feel the strands of Spiritual Qi seeping through the soles of his feet into his body.

On either side of the corridor stood green jade lamp posts, the lamps holding softly glowing golden flames that swayed without wind, yet never scorching the lamps, casting an ethereal glow throughout the corridor.

To Liou Yuan’s left, Liou Zhen was also present.

And right behind him, Liou Hexuan followed.

In the corridor were only the three figures, with no sign of the celestial crane Hall Master of the Disciplinary Hall.

"This is the Wenda Tower, symbolizing the highest authority of the Five Extremes Mountain, also the Sect Leader’s residence." Liou Zhen communicated to Liou Yuan, explaining where they were.

"The Sect Leader’s residence!" Upon hearing of Sect Leader Xuanyi, Liou Yuan’s expression immediately became solemn.

Curiously, he gazed towards the end of the corridor, able to see a semi-transparent glass door, with mist seemingly churning inside, light and shadow changing, faint outlines of a seated young Daoist could be seen behind it.

Flanking the glass door were stone beasts resembling Qilin, yet with wings, their eyes bright and bodies surrounded by a faint halo.

Above the glass door hung a plaque inscribed with the words "Wenda," the script ancient and vigorous, exuding a simplicity of great profundity.

The young Daoist behind the door needed no further identification, prompting Liou Yuan’s heart to silently call out to the Sect Leader, refraining from further gaze.

It was evident to him that at the Golden Core level, even a glance could deeply ensnare one.

Xuanyi did not keep the three waiting long, his gentle and unhurried voice emanating from behind the door.

"This battle is a victory for the Ice Vein."

"Liou Hexuan, do you have any objections?"

Since arriving at Wenda Tower, Liou Hexuan had remained subdued, only raising his head upon hearing Xuanyi’s voice, responding in a tone free of apparent emotion: "The disciple has no objections."
