Chapter 1103 One Year

"Everything is going well so far, the only problem is the fact that the city is far too small to accommodate such a large influx of people."

Watching the large number of young people walking around the city talking among each other with excited expressions on their faces, Elder Song could not help letting out a sigh of regret as he glanced over towards the overcrowded inns and hotels. Even with him ordering a large protein of the sect's elders and disciples to go out and build up some temporary places for these young people to stay in while waiting for the first tests to begin, there was still a large number of them who had nowhere to stay and were forced to camp outside the city on their own.

All of this was an oversight on his part, as he had at most expected around a hundred thousand to show up. Nowhere near the two hundred thousand currently present in the city. Not to mention that the number of young people entering the city was still increasing, to the extent that it wouldn't be surprising if there ended up being a quarter million young people by the time the tests officially began.

Because of this, Elder Song had even gone as far as recalling some of the more experienced elders currently not in the main sect to ensure that the assessments of the large number of young people went smoothly, while also being ready to take some of the less talented people to populate the different branch sects.

In the end, Elder Song was prepared to recruit a total of 2000 people for the main sect, while another ten thousand would have the opportunity to join one of the branch sects. This way, the Star Shattering Sect should avoid losing too many talented young people, who just happened to not cross the mark and be ranked within the top two thousand.

"Now that I think about it, today marks a year since Xuan Hao left the sect, I wonder when he will return again and how much stronger he will have grown..." Suddenly remembering Xuan Hao as he gazed down at the large number of young people excited at the possibility of joining the Star Shattering Sect, Elder Song could not help saying this out loud.

Although it had already been a year since Xuan Hao left and his disciples had started to get worried about their master, Elder Song didn't feel too worried about anything happening to Xuan Hao. After all, he was already someone in the Soul Ascension Realm and was more than strong enough to keep himself safe.

Instead of that, he was looking forward to what kind of surprise he might bring back with him. Part of him hoped that it would be something that could help improve the strength of the entire sect, like the Codex of the First Four Mortal Realms that he had brought back in the past.

Even though only a simplified version of the codex had been made available to most of the sect's elders, the change it had brought to the Star Shattering Sect had still been astronomical, causing the strength of all the disciples to increase, while also increasing the number and strength of the Nascent Soul Realm Elders in the sect.

"Haaa... Shouldn't hope for too much, he already brought back the Domain Lord Realm version of that codex, so the sect should be fine until Peak Domain Lord Realm Experts start appearing..." Shaking his head as he dispelled his somewhat greedy thoughts, Elder Song returned to observing the flow of young people in the city below while contemplating how to best conduct the upcoming tests and trials.

...

Whoosh~

"Huh? Senior! I have been searching all over for you!"

As he appeared out of thin air far away from the place where he had been absorbing the insights of the dead illusory beast after five minutes, Xuan Hao was just about to take another step forward in the direction of place with a powerful Peak Soul Ascension Realm illusory beast when a certain someone appeared in front of him...

"Chu Li... Is there a problem?" Knowing that it wouldn't be too good to just up and run away the moment he encountered him, Xuan Hao decided to turn around and face Chu Li with a questioning expression on his face.

"Ah... Actually... This junior has a somewhat selfish request and was wondering if senior would be able to share some of his insights into the Dao of Illusions. If senior is willing, this junior will never forget the favor and will make sure to return it in the future!" Hesitating for a short moment when faced with the questioning look, Chu Li ultimately built up enough courage to ask him about the thing he had wanted to ask him since their last conversation. Understanding that he had nothing to really give a senior in the Earth Immortal realm outside of a promise to return the favor in the future.

"..."

Different from the hesitation of Chu Li who was filled with anticipation at the answer from the person he perceived as a senior in the Dao of Illusions, the senior in question was left feeling like he had been caught between a rock and a hard place.

Although he could refuse Chu Li's request with the excuse that he had other things to attend to, he also understood that doing this might result in the other party growing suspicious of him. After all, handing out a few pointers normally didn't take more than a few minutes, so most seniors would be more than happy to spend a few minutes guiding a junior. Especially if the junior was someone talented on the brink of reaching the Earth Immortal Realm...

"Sure, show me what you got, and I will give you a few pointers."

For this reason, Xuan Hao reluctantly agreed with Chu Li's request. Praying to himself that his powerful talent had allowed his comprehension of the Dao of Illusions to surpass Chu Li enough that he could at least give him a few suggestions on where to improve. Even if these suggestions might not help Chu Li a lot with his Dao of Illusions, they would still be helpful and could thus keep up the façade of him being a senior...
