Ten Thousand Times Return: My Senior Sister Plucked Me At The Start

On the way back to the Saint Prime Devil Sect, Zhao Mu felt even more hostile gazes than when he first arrived.

Almost all of the Yao Race disciples looked at him with deep enmity. Some of them even revealed killing intent without holding back.

If not for the elders, the situation would have gotten out of hand.

Obviously, the news of Zhao Mu snatching the top three spots from Long Tianxiang and slapping Zuo Xiangying's face had spread among the demon cultivators.

Whether it was the human or demon race, they all had their own sense of honor.

In the past, the demon race had always been successful and was the absolute protagonist in any situation. Among them, Long Tianxiang, Han Rong, and Zuo Xiangying were the representatives of the demon cultivators.

But now, because of a small Zhao Mu, these three demon prodigies were humiliated. This was tantamount to offending the entire demon cultivator community.

It was not an exaggeration to say that they saw Zhao Mu as a thorn in their side.

Now that Zhao Mu had the protection of three elders and a saintess, and Empress Qingyun had given her word, these demon cultivators could endure and suppress their anger.

But what if they could restrain themselves for a long time?

No one could guarantee it.

Moreover, there were other unknown forces that were also targeting Zhao Mu.

For example, the jackal assassin in the mystic realm. His background was not clear, but Zhao Mu guessed that the force behind him was probably not from the Saint Prime Devil Sect, but from outside the sect, and was hostile to Long Tianxiang's force.

The demon race was different from the human race. They had too many groups and each had their own camp. Compared to the human race, they were not united enough.

If Zhao Mu could make use of this to resolve his current crisis, it might have a miraculous effect.

Kong Miaoyin was the best breakthrough point.

But Zhao Mu still had to think twice about how to proceed.

After returning to the sect, Xing Ziyue followed Dugu Zhan back to the Blood War Hall.

Zhao Mu brought Niu Yulan and Kong Miaoyin to the sect's treasury.

The sect's treasury was located in the core sacred ground, which was the most famous place in the Saint Prime Devil Sect. Zhao Mu had only heard of it, but had never seen it. Today, he was fated to see it.

After entering the inner sect, they flew for a while before reaching the edge of the core sacred ground.

From afar, one could see a huge palace floating above the clouds. It looked like a heavenly palace, solemn and dignified.

Floating around the palace were ring-shaped mountain ranges. Each mountain peak was as sharp as a knife.

Such a scene made Zhao Mu's blood boil for some reason. It was as if he had come to the Celestial Court.

An Zixuan said with a yearning look in her eyes, "The sacred land is up ahead, and Sheng Yuan Palace is at the center. It is where empress Qing Yun cultivates. It is currently sealed off, and no one is allowed to approach. Even I have only entered Sheng Yuan Palace once on the day of my apprenticeship ceremony."

Kong Miaoyin's beautiful eyes flickered. "The empress has already been in seclusion for a thousand years. She has only appeared less than ten times during this period. Although I boast that I am diligent, I am still too lazy compared to the empress. When I inherit the position of the head of the family, I'm afraid that I won't have time to calm down and cultivate. It is said that having great power is a good thing, but if the conditions allow it, I also want to cultivate without worries and wholeheartedly pursue the path of immortality."

"All supreme existences possess great wisdom, great comprehension ability, and great willpower. Not a single one can be lacking. The Paragons of this world are all like this. Sooner or later, Master will also be promoted into the Immortal Martial Continent, becoming one of the supreme experts."

An Zixuan said sincerely. In her view, among the younger generation of heaven's pride experts, no one could surpass empress Qing Yun. She was the existence with the greatest hope of becoming the new generation's strongest expert.

"Sovereign … I don't dare to think about it, but I think junior brother Zhao Mu has a chance." Kong Miaoyin suddenly changed the topic to Zhao Mu.

Zhao Mu rubbed his nose and laughed dryly.

What does this little peacock mean? Is she trying to kill me?

Or does she really think so?

It shouldn't be difficult for Zhao Mu, who has the Human Emperor's bloodline, to become a sovereign expert. However, Kong Miaoyin didn't know this. Where did her confidence in Zhao Mu come from?

While he was thinking, An Zixuan had already led everyone to the entrance of the sect's treasury.

The treasury was located in the ring-shaped mountain range outside Sheng Yuan Palace, inside a hollowed out mountain.

There was a strict formation here, and there were many mechanical puppets patrolling. Although the gatekeeper guarding the treasury had white hair and an old face, the aura on his body was unfathomable, making people feel reverence.

"The sect's treasury contains the foundation of the Devil Sect for eight thousand years since its establishment. There are countless treasures inside, and their value is impossible to estimate. Most of the treasures can be exchanged with sect merit points, but there are a few treasures that can only be obtained with special rewards. The annual hunting day rewards can be exchanged for these treasures that can't be obtained with merit points. Senior sister Kong, you can go in and choose first."

Kong Miaoyin nodded, took out her disciple token, and gently swept it over the stone tablet at the entrance of the treasury. Then, she was teleported into the treasury.

Zhao Mu and Niu Yulan waited outside.

Zhao Mu said, "With senior sister Kong's identity and background, ordinary treasures definitely won't enter her eyes. She should have a goal for specially participating in the hunting day this time. It's likely that she has taken a fancy to one of the treasures in the treasury."

An Zixuan said, "The foundation of the Immortal King Peacock Clan is not inferior to the Saint Origin Devil Sect. Their history can be traced back to the beginning of the Immortal Martial Continent, and they are one of the oldest clans in the Immortal Martial Continent. To a certain extent, once Kong Miaoyin inherits the position of the clan leader, the power she holds will even be above Empress Qing Yun."

Zhao Mu was secretly shocked. He didn't expect this little peacock to be so powerful.

It was a pity that her favorability was zero. Otherwise, he could bind her as a return target and gain 100 favorability points. Then, wouldn't the ancient Immortal King Peacock Clan be in Zhao Mu's pocket?

It was more practical to increase An Zixuan's favorability first.

With a thought, Zhao Mu took out a flower from his storage ring.

This was a seventh-grade spirit herb that he had obtained from the underground cave of the Secret Territory. Its name was Orchid Snow Fragrant Flower, and it was the main ingredient for refining the best quality Face Retaining Pill. It had been lost in the outside world, so it was considered a very rare treasure.

Zhao Mu gave her to An Zixuan.

An Zi Xuan didn't take it. Instead, she frowned. "What are you trying to do to me?"

Zhao Mu chuckled and said, "Disciple doesn't know what good things are in the treasury. If I choose at random, I'm afraid I'll waste this rare opportunity. Master, please give me some pointers."

This guy's mind was full of tricks.

"Ding! You have gifted An Zixuan a Tier 7 spirit medicine, triggering 100 times reward. You have obtained the Tier 7 spirit medicine, White Snow Orchid."

"Ding … An Zixuan's favorability + 1."

An Zixuan accepted the Orchid Snow Fragrant Flower and said, "Although you have a Saint Body, it isn't complete. You can choose a Tier 10 pill, Saint Essence Pill. It can help strengthen your Saint Body."

Niu Yulan quickly asked, "Saintess, I also want to choose a treasure suitable for Junior Brother Zhao Mu. Please give me some pointers."

An Zixuan looked at Niu Yulan in surprise.

Was this girl brainwashed by Zhao Mu? She didn't even consider for herself when she had such a rare opportunity. Instead, she wanted to help Zhao Mu find a treasure.

"Since you have such intentions, then go and pick a Heaven Grade Fire Attribute Cultivation Method. This way, both of you will be able to cultivate it, and everyone will be happy."
