Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation

"What is it?" the middle-aged woman asked Wen Zhixi coldly after looking at her for a moment.

Wen Zhixi knew this was her only chance to join the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect, so she hurriedly said, "Junior wishes to join the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect, please grant me this favor, senior."

The middle-aged woman had not yet spoken when disdain already flashed in the eyes of the two female disciples by her side.

Just anyone coming by wanted to join the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect, that would surely devalue the Sect.

"Our Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect is not accepting disciples at the moment. If you wish to join our Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect, you can come and test your aptitude after the Dao Debate Conference," said the middle-aged woman indifferently.

After saying this, the middle-aged woman was about to walk away.

Wen Zhixi anxiously called out, "Senior, junior is a third-level Immortal Array Master, just one step away from breaking through to a fourth-level Immortal Array Grandmaster. Not only that, but junior is also a Void Array Pattern Master…"

"You're a third-level Immortal Array Master? And you can set up Void Array Patterns?" Hearing Wen Zhixi's words, the woman immediately stopped in her tracks, her eyes filled with surprise as she looked at Wen Zhixi.

"Yes, junior has not lied," Wen Zhixi quickly replied.

"Very well then, set up a Gathering Spirit Immortal Array for me to see," the middle-aged woman immediately demanded.

Because setting up the Gathering Spirit Immortal Array was not allowed, there were not many cultivators who specifically learned how to set it up these days.

Even if they learned it, it was of no use. If you were in an Immortal Sect, there would be no need to set up a Spirit Gathering Array. If you were not in an Immortal Sect, then learning the Gathering Spirit Immortal Array would be meaningless.

Upon hearing that she would be tested, Wen Zhixi swiftly raised her hand and began to draw Array Patterns continuously in the void.

At this moment, she truly felt Ding Huan's strength and was grateful to Ding Huan.

Ding Huan's way of teaching her how to set up Arrays was different from other masters. Brother Ding didn't just demonstrate by hand, but let her perceive the Law Array Flags of the Void Array Patterns alongside him, then she understood these Law Array Flags to set up the Void Immortal Formation.

That's why she was able to control the Void Array Patterns' laws in the shortest amount of time.

Ding Huan cultivated the Great Universe Technique, perceiving and absorbing the genes of all things in the universe, which were essentially the laws of everything.

His Array Dao approach had long surpassed the usual Array setting techniques, forming a system of its own.

That is, he could set up Arrays very quickly, and since the Arrays were constructed through Law Array Flags, the effect of the Arrays was far superior to ordinary Arrays.

In just under 15 minutes, the surrounding Immortal Spiritual Energy began to sweep over crazily, with astonishing effects.

The middle-aged woman's eyes lit up; this was definitely Array Dao genius.

What the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect lacked the most now was this kind of talent.

Among the disciples of the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect, apart from the very few talented in Alchemy and talisman refining, almost none were skilled in Array Dao or Artifact Dao.

And close after the Immortal Domain's Dao Debate Meeting, the Great Immortal Domain's rank competition among the major Immortal Sects would follow.

In the Immortal Sect ranking competition, not only Daoist Skill but also Alchemy, Artifact, Array, and Talisman are all critical scoring categories.

The Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect, in recent years aside from Daoist Skill, had been declining year by year in other aspects.

If they don't make an extra effort, they'd probably fall out of the first tier.

The Gathering Spirit Immortal Array that Wen Zhixi set up using Void Array Patterns was definitely among the high-ranked of the third-level Immortal Arrays; moreover, the traces of these Void Array Patterns were very faint in her opinion.

As long as Wen Zhixi progressed further in her Array Dao, even the traces of this Void Array Pattern Formation wouldn't exist.

She raised her hand for a sweep, and her surprise intensified.

In her gesture, she failed to erase Wen Zhixi's Gathering Spirit Array Pattern.

The only explanation was that the Array Dao of this girl in front of her was even stronger than hers.

"Erase this Spirit Gathering Array," the woman said, quite pleased, nodding her head.

"Yes." Wen Zhixi hurriedly wiped away the Gathering Spirit Immortal Array that was set up with the Void Array Patterns before her, looking expectantly at the middle-aged woman.

"Good, very good," the woman said the word "good" twice in succession, then reached out and grabbed Wen Zhixi's wrist.

Immediately, her face showed increasing surprise.

Wen Zhixi had cultivated to the peak of the Profound Immortal, and her body's Mottled Dao Rhythm was nearly non-existent, her Immortal Essence even purer than anything she had seen before.

Even without witnessing Wen Zhixi's Daoist Skill, she could imagine that Wen Zhixi was certainly a being with strong fighting capabilities.

Such pure Immortal Essence, the same Divine Skills when used would have far greater power than others.

"Your name is Wen Zhixi?" The woman let go of her hand, her tone becoming more cordial.

"Yes, disciple Wen Zhixi. I had been cultivating with my father until not long ago when he fell in battle," Wen Zhixi answered. "Before passing, my father told me that Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect is a prestigious great sect in Immortal Domain and hoped that I could join Yaochi. Please grant this junior's request."

The woman glanced at Ding Huan, noting that Ding Huan's disciple's attire was clearly from the Qingxu Sect.

Indeed, without a Qingxu Sect disciple to accompany her, Wen Zhixi couldn't even enter this place.

She took Wen Zhixi's hand with a smile and said, "Zhixi, my name is Hua Xiaoqian, an external affairs elder of the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect, living at Jade Immortal Peak.

Your father must be an incredible man to have raised you this way; I intend to take you as my last disciple. Would you accept?"

Wen Zhixi was overjoyed and immediately knelt on the ground, "Disciple pays respect to Master. I am willing."

"Very well, rise. After joining the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect, you must not entertain any romantic feelings. Do you understand?" Hua Xiaoqian's tone became slightly stern.

While speaking, she glanced at Ding Huan again.

Ding Huan felt disdain inside. Just by looking at Wen Zhixi's qualifications, he knew she could definitely join the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect.

Logically, this Elder Hua Xiaoqian should have recommended Wen Zhixi to the Sect Master or even higher-ranking elders. She didn't stand on ceremony, claiming her as a disciple first.

It goes to show that the name is not wrong; small contributions reaping big benefits.

"Yes, disciple understands," Wen Zhixi hurriedly responded.

Hua Xiaoqian spoke to the other two female disciples beside her, "Go and inform Elder Shun that I have matters to attend to today and won't go see him. Zhixi, come with me."

Wen Zhixi hurriedly said, "Master, let me bid farewell to Brother Ding. If it weren't for Brother Ding, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to be here."

Hua Xiaoqian thought about it and realized it was true; without a Qingxu Sect disciple to lead the way, Wen Zhixi couldn't have even entered this place.

"Go then. I'll wait for you," Hua Xiaoqian nodded.

The other two disciples also quickly called out "Senior Sister Wen" and then bid their farewells and left.

Just a moment ago they had despised Wen Zhixi, thinking her foolishly ambitious to dream of joining the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect.

Yet, how unpredictable life is, in a blink of an eye, Wen Zhixi not only joined the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect but became Elder Hua's last disciple.

The change in status was so great that they were unable to react for a while.

"Brother Ding, thank you. I will never forget your kindness for as long as I live. If ever you need me, please send word, and I shall come," Wen Zhixi said firmly to Ding Huan.

Although her tone was calm, the determination in her eyes told Ding Huan all he needed to know.

If ever he, Ding Huan, needed her, even if Wen Zhixi knew it meant certain death, she would repay his kindness.

Ding Huan smiled, pulling out a ring and handing it to Wen Zhixi, "Zhixi, I give this to you; you might find it useful in the future. Once you are at the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect, remember to diligently cultivate.

If you encounter any difficulties, no matter what it is, don't forget, you have a friend named Ding Huan. I must go now. Until we meet again."

Having said that, Ding Huan nodded to Wen Zhixi and gave a respectful fist salute to Hua Xiaoqian before turning to leave.

"Your friend certainly knows how to make an exit," Hua Xiaoqian nodded appreciatively after seeing Ding Huan did not linger around Wen Zhixi.

"Mm, Brother Ding is the first noble person I met in my life. Without him, I would've died long ago, and today would not have come."

Wen Zhixi was usually quite emotionally stable, but even so, her voice was somewhat choked up as she spoke these words.

Night after night, she and Ding Huan had lingered on the brink of life and death.

Ding Huan had saved her, and she had saved Ding Huan. They had supported each other through thick and thin to reach this moment. The hardships they endured were beyond words for outsiders.

Elder Hua understood Wen Zhixi's emotions; many disciples who came to the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect had experienced this kind of life-and-death separation.

Yet, once they joined the Sect, they would soon forget their pasts.

After all, in the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect, if you do not progress, you regress. Who has time to be entangled in love every day?

When Hua Xiaoqian brought Wen Zhixi into a room, she handed her an Array Token from the Eternal Immortal Tower, "Zhixi, rest here for a while, then come find me. I'll be next door."

She knew Wen Zhixi needed some time to calm her emotions. When she herself had joined the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect and had to part from her lover, it was even harder than what Zhixi was facing.

"Thank you, Master," Wen Zhixi said, knowing her emotions were a bit unstable, her tears swirling in her eyes as if they could fall at any moment.

Seeing this, her Master let her go in to rest.

The moment Wen Zhixi closed the door behind her, the tears she had been holding back finally fell.

She remembered that she had never cried before, but since meeting Ding Huan, she didn't know just how many times she had.

Brother Ding had taught her to be independent and strong, to discern human nature and the ways of the world, to learn how to survive in this world.

Yet here she was, so easily sentimental, so easily brought to tears.

If she could choose, she would absolutely not join the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect. She would rather wander the Immortal Domain with Brother Ding.

She didn't know how much time passed before she could calm down from the overwhelming flood of emotions.

She took out the ring Ding Huan had given her, which contained only a Jade Box and a Jade Scroll.
