Chapter 1396: Brothers Stand By You

In the largest city of Wood Origin Immortal Realm, which is also the closest major city to the Hidden Spirit Sect,

Qianling looked at his elder brother and third brother, both at the Golden Immortal realm, who were once the Grand Elder and Third Grand Elder of Qianling Sect.

"Elder brother, third brother, what brings you here today?" Qianling said with a grin.

"Indeed, it’s nice to lean on a big tree for shade. While we have just reached the Golden Immortal realm, you are already at the saint realm," the third brother responded with a hint of bitterness in his tone.

"Yes, it feels like a dream; I stumbled into the saint realm," Qianling replied.

The three of them were lounging in a hot spring, enjoying the chaotic aura for healing.

"By the way, I remember saying I wanted to merge Qianling Sect into the Hidden Spirit Sect, but unfortunately, we only talked about it without making it happen."

"If that had worked out, all three of us would be Saints by now," Qianling said with some regret.

"Things are great now; under your care, Qianling Sect has acquired two territories in the Tianhu Immortal Realm over the years," the elder brother said with a smile.

Qianling waved his hand, and two Great Luo Immortal Peaches appeared in front of his elder brother and third brother.

"These are Great Luo Immortal Peaches that I have saved points for a long time to prepare for you."

"Each disciple in the sect gets one for free, and I thought they weren’t worth much."

"But when I asked Putao, I found out one is worth 1000 Hongmeng points! Hurry and eat them, don’t waste my kindness," Qianling said with a laugh.

"What’s so special about these Great Luo Immortal Peaches?" the third brother asked, puzzled.

"They can save your potential; elder brother is fine, but for you, third brother, breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm is already lucky."

"These Great Luo Immortal Peaches will grant you a Great Luo foundation. After consuming them, you’ll advance to the Great Luo Sage without any bottlenecks," Qianling said nonchalantly.

Hearing the benefits of the Great Luo Immortal Peaches, the elder brother and third brother quickly refused, saying the items were too precious.

"Just take them. I have no use for things like this, and the sect doesn’t allow selling them externally. Outside the sect, you are the only ones I know," Qianling insisted, appearing as a brother who has made it big and must support his family.

"Second brother, we didn’t come to you just to take advantage," the third brother said.

"I know. Even if you didn’t come to me, I would have to find you later."

"Just accept them. I have other things to discuss later," Qianling said mysteriously.

Each brother received a Great Luo Immortal Peach.

"That’s more like it; if you can’t accept this little thing, how can I give you what the Grand Elder has for you later?"

Two innate supreme treasures appeared in front of the elder brother and third brother.

"The Grand Elder is sentimental; knowing you two were coming, he specially asked Putao to give me these two innate supreme treasures to pass on to you."

Qianling then introduced the two innate supreme treasures to them.

"They cannot be accepted, absolutely not. Innate supreme treasures are too valuable," the elder brother said, shaking his head as he looked at the treasures.

"Take them. It’s hard to find one outside. While it’s not common to have one per person within the Hidden Spirit Sect, they are not particularly difficult to obtain," Qianling explained, showcasing his own innate supreme treasure to the two.

"Although I am an elder in the sect, my fighting strength and cultivation level have always been lower compared to others in the sect."

"Those top-tier disciples have already started collecting Primordial Purple Qi crystals to buy Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures," Qianling said, a touch of envy in his voice.

In the sect, the elders were in a somewhat awkward position.

Despite their titles, their cultivation and fighting strength lagged far behind those of the disciples.

"Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure!"

"Has the Hidden Spirit Sect really reached such heights?" the two exclaimed in amazement.

"Within the sect, I’ve come to know some things closely tied to the Three Thousand Realms," Qianling continued.

"Now, the Three Thousand Realms have been unified by the human race and have moved from the god or demon pastures to this resource-rich Chaotic Mist Area."

"The Three Thousand Realms are currently adapting to the changes brought by these three stars, making it an ideal time for cultivation."

"In 100,000 years, once the Three Thousand Realms stabilize, it will be our time to expand beyond."

"So, elder brother and third brother, if you’re serious, you should focus on boosting the overall strength of Qianling Sect."

"In the future, while we might not dominate a major world, securing several large Thousand Worlds should be well within our capabilities."

Qianling shared his thoughts, which he had gathered from the sect’s forum.

"Qianling, you’ve really put thought into this," the elder brother said appreciatively.

"Elder brother, no matter what changes come, you’ll always be my big brother in my heart," Qianling said, recalling their days in the lower realms, relying on each other.

"I want you and Qianling Sect to thrive, so take these two innate supreme treasures now."

"Later, when your cultivation has advanced, I’ll find a way to get you the Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure."

At that moment, a cloud appeared above the hot spring they were in.

It landed on the water, transforming into a round lotus leaf.

On top of the lotus leaf was a lavish feast of immortal delicacies.

"Elder brother, third brother, this is a Great Luo Sage-level feast; eating more will greatly benefit your cultivation," Qianling urged them.

Meanwhile, outside the Wood Origin Immortal Realm, a saint-level puppet in human form emerged from the saint’s tribulation.

Not far away, Qian Bing watched his puppet son with teary eyes.

"It’s been tough, but I finally have saint-level fighting strength."

The disciples from the puppet lineage beside Qian Bing were also deeply moved.

"Senior Brother Qian, when you meet the Grand Elder, you must ask about the future of our puppet lineage!"

"We’ve struggled too much over the years!" a disciple from the puppet lineage said, tears in their eyes.

"Don’t worry; I will definitely ask the Grand Elder."

Before long, Qian Bing received a summons from Xu Fan.

"Greetings, Grand Elder."

"It’s a great achievement; your puppet lineage has produced a true chaotic saint," Xu Fan said with a smile.

The puppet lineage not only needed to become saints themselves but also required their connected life puppets to reach sainthood.

"Grand Elder, please guide our puppet lineage; our disciples are struggling to keep up with the main group," Qian Bing pleaded.

"I understand. The Sutra Pavilion contains the true understanding of the puppet lineage; it has already shown you the path ahead."

"Additionally, I will grant your puppet lineage a privilege; you can collect materials on your own and give them to Putao for free processing of puppets."

"Putao will refine puppets tailored to the materials you provide," Xu Fan said thoughtfully.

Now, the most elite group of disciples in the sect had begun their ascent to becoming Great Saints, while the leader of the puppet lineage was just about to fully attain Saint level.

Xu Fan felt it necessary to provide some convenience for the puppet lineage; otherwise, it seemed too harsh.

"Thank you, Grand Elder!" Qian Bing said, overwhelmed with gratitude.
