The True Monarch Yanfa just mentioned the formidable enemy beyond the realm, and the words about breaking open the Void Passage.

What kind of person is this, and what kind of cultivation is needed to accomplish all this?

At least, as far as Ji Haoyuan knows, a Nascent Soul True Monarch above the Golden Core can absolutely not achieve this.

As if seeing through Ji Haoyuan's thoughts, True Monarch Yanfa turned his head again, looked at Ji Haoyuan, and smiled:

"This matter involves the deepest secrets of our sect. Only a Nascent Soul True Monarch of our sect, or the core elders of our sect, are qualified to know.

However, there are some insights that I can also share with you."

After a slight pause, True Monarch Yanfa continued:

"With the Spirit Vein resources of the current Southern Wilderness Realm, advancing beyond a Nascent Soul to Divinity Transformation is already the limit.

If in the future, you wish to advance further and seek a broader and more distant Dao, you must find a way to leave the Southern Wilderness Realm.

And our sect, in the not too distant future, may hold such a channel.

You are a smart person, some things don't need me to say too clearly, you must already understand in your heart."

Indeed.

Upon hearing this, Ji Haoyuan basically understood a few things.

To put it simply, if he wishes to continuously advance in cultivation in the future, he needs a powerful and deep-rooted force as support.

Otherwise, even if you are immensely talented, reaching Nascent Soul or even Divinity Transformation, that might still be your limit.

For Ji Haoyuan, who currently only has Golden Core cultivation, this seems somewhat premature, but in reality, it is something he must seriously consider.

Any cultivator with aspirations for the Dao, aiming for higher realms, cannot ignore such matters.

So, it all comes back to the original question.

Will Ji Haoyuan become an Official Elder of the Demonstration Sect?

Presumably, True Monarch Yanfa said these things to him for this very reason.

Ji Haoyuan could not help but fall into deep thought.

To be honest, with his current cultivation and strength, choosing to become an Official Elder of the Demonstration Sect should be more beneficial than harmful.

If he is considering long-term benefits, joining the Demonstration Sect and becoming its Official Elder is quite a good choice.

Moreover, if he wants to give back to his family in the future or assist those close to him, like the Master Binghuo, becoming an Official Elder of the Demonstration Sect would not only have no negative impact but would actually be advantageous.

The only issue is that, after becoming an elder of the Demonstration Sect, he might have less freedom regarding certain matters that concern the bigger picture.

But in this world, without a certain level of strength, how could there truly be freedom?

And right now, this opportunity is exceedingly rare.

After all, not everyone who joins a sect from the outside is qualified to become part of its core.

Most of the time, if you are an Honored Guest Elder, then you are an Honored Guest Elder for life.

It is indeed rare for someone like him to be personally invited by the highest leader of a sect.

Therefore.

After considering the pros and cons and his circumstances, Ji Haoyuan no longer hesitated. He immediately bowed respectfully to True Monarch Yanfa and said solemnly:

"To report to the Sect Leader True Monarch, the disciple is willing to join the Demonstration Sect and become an Official Elder of the sect!"

"Good!

Very good!"

Seeing Ji Haoyuan truly agree, True Monarch Yanfa was evidently very pleased.

In fact, he had been observing Ji Haoyuan for a long time.

From his character and personality to his cultivation and strength, as well as his cultivation talent, he was very satisfied, knowing this individual was an extraordinary talent.

This was the primary reason he, as a Nascent Soul Great True Monarch, was willing to personally suggest to Ji Haoyuan to become an Official Elder of the Demonstration Sect.

Then he raised his hand and sent out several messages.

Only after did he look back at Ji Haoyuan and smile:

"Nanhua, since you are now an Official Elder of the Demonstration Sect, you should pay respects to our sect's founder, and enter our sect's gateway.

I have already sent messages to Junior Brother Xuan Yuan and others. I believe they will come soon to witness your becoming an Official Elder of the Demonstration Sect.

However, before that, I can answer all the doubts you previously had."

Upon hearing this, Ji Haoyuan felt invigorated and then respectfully said:

"Disciple is eager to hear the details."

True Monarch Yanfa nodded slightly and continued:

"As mentioned earlier, our sect's ancestor comes from the Ten Thousand Laws Celestial Sect of the Central Celestial Realm.

Do you know what kind of sect in the Central Celestial Realm is qualified to be titled as a Heavenly Sect?"

True Monarch Yanfa evidently didn't intend for Ji Haoyuan to answer, as he continued:

"Only a sect with a Harmonization Celestial Monarch seated at it can be titled as a Heavenly Sect."

"Harmonization? Is this the realm after Divinity Transformation?"

Ji Haoyuan knew very well that such knowledge could never be obtained outside.

All major forces with similar inheritance will layer the information, ensuring no leaks.

At this moment, even though Ji Haoyuan forced himself to stay calm, his mind was inevitably somewhat excited about the subsequent path of cultivation.

"No!"

Yet True Monarch Yanfa shook his head.

"After Divinity Transformation comes Void Refining, known as Divine Monarch, and then comes Harmonization, known as Celestial Monarch.

This is also the second realm of our mundane cultivation and Taoist techniques.

Above it is Mahayana, known as Saint Monarch.

The Demon Race, on the other hand, refers to them as Demon Saints."

Divinity Transformation, Void Refining, Harmonization, Great Success.

Correspondingly, they are called Venerable, Divine Monarch, Celestial Monarch, Saint Monarch.

This implies that in the Central Celestial Realm, a force qualified to be titled a Holy Sect must have a Great Success Saint Monarch seated among them.

Ji Haoyuan could hardly imagine such a place existing with Void Refining, Harmonization, and Great Success presences.

Its environment must be majestic and grand.

Suddenly.

He seemed to have thought of something again, turning to True Monarch Yanfa, and couldn't help but ask:

"Sect Leader True Monarch, you just mentioned our sect's ancestor was from the Ten Thousand Laws Celestial Sect of the Central Celestial Realm, and he even broke open a Void Passage. Could his realm be...?"

"Indeed, our sect's ancestor, in those days, was precisely a Refining Void Divine Monarch, with the Taoist name Tianyuan."

"Tianyuan? Lord Tianyuan? Celestial Essence Ancestor?"

In this moment, various thoughts swiftly crossed Ji Haoyuan's mind.

Suddenly.

As if enlightenment struck, he looked at True Monarch Yanfa somewhat in shock.

"Sect Leader True Monarch, the passage you mentioned that could lead out of the Southern Wilderness Realm to other realms, could it actually be...?"

"Indeed.

It's the initial Void Passage established by our sect's ancestor.

It's just that to locate and confirm its exact position might still require some time."

It really is...

At this moment, Ji Haoyuan finally gained a relatively clear understanding of the true foundation of the Demonstration Sect and the Tianyuan Ancestor who established this tradition.
