All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

Chapter 247 Sect Grand Competition

Life at Lingxu Sect was peaceful yet anything but uneventful.

Wei Yu has been recuperating in Qingxuan Pavilion for more than half a month. With the nourishment of Qingling Pill and the dual repair of his own homecoming power and sentinel power, his injuries are recovering very quickly.

The cracks in his soul gradually healed, the spiritual energy within his body became increasingly abundant, and his Sentinel power steadily increased, recovering to 35% of its previous level.

During this time, he would occasionally walk around the Lingxu Sect to familiarize himself with the sect's environment and also to search for traces of soul fragments.

Strangely, no matter how he probed, he still couldn't sense any fluctuations from the soul fragments, as if those scattered fragments had never set foot in the Lingxu Sect.

Fortunately, although Sect Leader Lingxiaozi did not openly offer assistance, he tacitly allowed him to move freely within the sect and even sent him a considerable amount of spiritual materials for healing and cultivation.

Wei Yu knew in his heart that this was both Lingxiaozi's tacit approval and a silent test.

He did not rush into anything. While focusing on recovering from his injuries, he secretly kept an eye on the movements within the sect, waiting for his chance to prove himself.

It is worth mentioning that his arrival did not cause much of a stir in the Lingxu Sect.

The Lingxu Sect already had countless transmigrators and numerous disciples, and people from the outside world often visited. As for Wei Yu, an "outsider," no one paid much attention to him.

At most, a few of Xuan Qing's close disciples would glance at him curiously and occasionally make a few comments, but they had no ill intentions.

Wei Yu didn't care about this at all. He wasn't one to seek the limelight. Being able to quietly recover from his injuries and search for clues was enough for him.

But this peace did not last long.

That morning, Wei Yu was meditating in the courtyard of Qingxuan Pavilion, circulating the power of homecoming to nourish his soul, when he suddenly sensed that the atmosphere of the entire Lingxu Sect had changed.

The spiritual energy in the air became increasingly restless, and the cheers and discussions of the disciples could be faintly heard from afar.

"What's going on?" Wei Yu slowly opened his eyes, a hint of doubt flashing in them.

Just then, Xuanqing's voice came from outside the courtyard gate, carrying an undisguised excitement: "Brother Wei Yu, Brother Wei Yu, are you awake?"

Wei Yu stood up, straightened his clothes, and said, "You're awake, Brother Xuanqing, come in."

The courtyard gate was pushed open, and Xuan Qing strode in, followed by the bouncy Han Xuanxuan.

Han Xuanxuan was wearing a pink dress, with a bright smile on her face and a crystal-clear spiritual fruit in her hand. She looked to be in a very good mood.

"Brother Wei Yu!" Han Xuanxuan saw Wei Yu and immediately ran over with a smile, handing him the spirit fruit in her hand. "Look, these are spirit crystal fruits I picked from the back mountain. They're so sweet, here, have some!"

Wei Yu took the spiritual fruit; it felt slightly cool to the touch, and a rich spiritual energy wafted towards him. He smiled at Han Xuanxuan and said, "Thank you, Xuanxuan."

Xuan Qing walked up to Wei Yu, his face beaming with excitement, and said eagerly, "Brother Wei Yu, did you know? Our Lingxu Sect is going to hold its once-in-a-decade sect competition!"

"A sect competition?" Wei Yu paused, a hint of doubt in his eyes. "What's that?"

"Hehe, it's normal that you don't know, you haven't been at the Lingxu Sect for long," Xuan Qing explained with a smile. "Our Lingxu Sect's Grand Tournament is held once every ten years, and it's the sect's most solemn event!"

"All disciples of the sect, whether inner or outer disciples, are welcome to participate. As long as they achieve good results in the competition, they will receive generous rewards and may even receive personal guidance from the sect leader and elders!"

Han Xuanxuan also joined in, chattering, "Yes, yes, Brother Wei Yu, the sect competition is so exciting!"

"In the last competition, Senior Brother Xuanqing even won third place among the inner disciples, and he received so many spiritual materials and pills!"

Xuan Qing felt a little embarrassed by Han Xuanxuan's words, scratched his head, and said with a smile, "It was all just luck; I was just lucky that time."

Wei Yu understood and nodded: "I see. It seems that this sect competition is a rare opportunity for you."

"That's right!" Xuan Qing exclaimed excitedly. "Moreover, several of my senior brothers and sisters have also rushed back from outside to participate in this sect competition!"

"Senior brothers and sisters?" A hint of curiosity flashed in Wei Yu's eyes. "You have other senior brothers and sisters?"

"Of course!" Xuan Qing nodded. "Our sect has seven core disciples. I am the fifth, Xuanxuan is the sixth, there are four senior brothers and sisters above us, and a seventh junior brother below us."

"They usually spend their time training and seeking opportunities outside, and only return when there are major events in the sect."

"This sect competition is such a grand event, they naturally won't be absent."

Wei Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Are all your senior brothers and sisters also time travelers?"

"Hahaha, Brother Wei Yu, you guessed right!" Xuan Qing said with a laugh, "All seven of us, fellow disciples, are transmigrators from Earth!"

"Moreover, each of them is incredibly powerful, with cultivation levels higher than mine, especially Senior Brother Yu Huai, who is already at the late Nascent Soul stage, only one step away from the Divine Transformation stage!"

Late stage of Nascent Soul Realm!

Xuanqing is currently at the mid-stage of the Golden Core Realm, which is already considered outstanding among the young disciples. His senior brother, on the other hand, has reached the late-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, and his strength is indeed not to be underestimated.

"Since we're both time travelers, we can get to know each other," Wei Yu said slowly, his tone carrying a hint of anticipation.

He knew in his heart that the more time travelers he knew, the more potential helpers he would have.

Although many transmigrators from the Lingxu Sect have given up their obsession with returning home, he believes that there will always be someone like him who longs to return to Earth.

Moreover, Xuanqing's senior brothers and sisters are highly skilled in cultivation. If they could get help, finding the soul fragments or deciphering the coordinates of returning home would be much easier.

Xuan Qing had anticipated Wei Yu's intention and immediately said with a smile, "I was just thinking of taking you to meet them!"

"They just got back not long ago, and they're waiting for you at the sect's Gathering Immortals Pavilion right now. I'll take you there and show you around."

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Brother Xuanqing." Wei Yu nodded and readily agreed.

"No trouble at all, we're all friends!" Xuan Qing waved his hand and said with a smile, "Xuanxuan, why don't you come along too? It'll be a good opportunity to get together with your senior brothers and sisters."

"Okay, okay!" Han Xuanxuan nodded vigorously, a happy smile spreading across her face. "I haven't seen my senior brothers and sisters in so long, I really miss them!"

Without further delay, Xuan Qing turned around first and led Wei Yu and Han Xuanxuan toward the Juxian Pavilion.

Along the way, Wei Yu clearly felt that there were more and more disciples around him, and everyone's face was filled with excitement and anticipation as they discussed the upcoming sect competition.

"Have you heard? Senior Brother Yu Huai is back for this sect competition!"

"Of course I've heard! Senior Brother Yu Huai is a powerful expert in the late Nascent Soul stage. He's definitely going to be the champion in this competition!"

"And there's Senior Brother Xueyang. I heard that while he was training outside, he killed a Nascent Soul Realm demon beast, and his strength has improved considerably!"

"Senior Sister Ning Shuang is back too! She's incredibly capable; she won first place among the inner disciples in the last competition!"

The surrounding chatter reached Wei Yu's ears continuously.

He could tell that Xuanqing's senior brothers and sisters were very famous in the Lingxu Sect and were highly respected by the disciples.

At the same time, that strange feeling in Wei Yu's heart resurfaced.

He could clearly feel a gaze watching him from the shadows.

That gaze was very subtle; if it weren't for the fact that his Sentinel power had recovered to 35%, giving him a perception far beyond that of ordinary people, he would have been completely unable to detect it.

Moreover, that gaze was not malicious; it was more like surveillance or observation.

Wei Yu calmly activated the Sentinel's power, quietly probing the source of that gaze.

However, the owner of that gaze was very cautious. Once the detection range got too close, the other party would immediately conceal their aura and disappear without a trace.

"Could it be someone sent by Sect Leader Lingxiaozi?" Wei Yu wondered to himself.

After all, he was an outsider. His sudden appearance at the Lingxu Sect, claiming to be a sentinel with a way to return to Earth, made it understandable that Sect Leader Lingxiaozi was wary and sent his disciples to secretly monitor him.

After all, the Lingxu Sect is so large, and it has taken in so many transmigrators and cultivators, that it is impossible for it to easily trust an outsider of unknown origin.

Having figured this out, Wei Yu's vigilance lessened somewhat.

If the other party has no malicious intent and is simply monitoring you, then there's no need to worry too much.

Moreover, he could take this opportunity to see just how much the Lingxiao Sect Leader valued him and what he was testing him for.

"Brother Wei Yu, what's wrong? Why did you stop?" Xuan Qing noticed Wei Yu's unusual behavior, stopped, and turned to ask in confusion.

Wei Yu snapped out of his reverie, shook his head, and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about some things. Let's go."

"Okay." Xuan Qing nodded, asked no further questions, and continued to lead the two toward the Gathering Immortals Pavilion.

After walking for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a simple and elegant pavilion appeared before the three of them.
