Chapter 914: Lessons and Preparations for the Path of All Immortals

"I’m not sure," he admitted. "You’d probably have to ask the Sixth Elder. He’s very knowledgeable, so he might know."

"Then I’ll go and ask him," Kenny Lin said, heading off to find Tan Kai.

Renshu Chang didn’t stop him. Although the odds were near zero, there was always that ’what if.’ He was curious about the answer, too.

"You all love giving me tough questions," Elder Tan chuckled when they asked. "But, although it’s almost impossible for someone to win two gold tokens, I can still answer: only three challenges would be required."

"Elder, is that really true?" Renshu Chang looked surprised, figuring it would be six challenges.

Tan Kai laughed. "If two gold tokens showed up, wouldn’t one already have people on edge? Who would want to make themselves an even bigger target by taking both?"

"But there’d still be an advantage to grabbing two tokens, right?" Kenny Lin asked with a small smile.

Tan Kai nodded. "Yes, if you tossed one away without a fight, you’d only need to battle twice. So your odds are better than if you only had one."

"Well, if you have a way to get a gold token, go for it," Tan Kai encouraged. "You might even find it useful inside Path of All Immortals."

"Elder, if tokens are produced by Path of All Immortals, where do they come from?" Amalia asked.

"They’re a gift from the Path of All Immortals itself. The Path of All Immortals is the ruin left behind after the Immortal Wars. Some say there might still be immortals living within it," Chang Tianya smiled.

"So does that mean whether gold tokens appear depends on the immortals?"

"That’s for you to find out," he said with a hint of mystery.

Amalia bowed. "Thank you, Elder."

Elder Tan shook his head lightly. "If you have any other questions Renshu Chang can’t answer, feel free to come to me — or Elder Wang. In fact, he’ll be giving everyone a lecture soon."

This Elder Wang was the one who had guided them to the Double Caves Secret Realm before.

Amalia and Kenny Lin went over to greet Elder Wang as he prepared to speak.

Soon, just as Tan Kai mentioned, Elder Wang began his lecture about the Path of All Immortals.

"You’re all likely aware of the tokens," Elder Wang began. "I’ll keep it short. In past years, over ten thousand tokens have been distributed. Take as many as you can, but don’t risk your lives. Your safety and preserving your strength are the most important thing. After the token battle ends, the Path of All Immortals will open a second time, and that’s when you’ll make your choices. Use the tokens you’ve won to pick the most suitable path for yourself. Don’t let others sway you."

"We can only protect you from outside dangers, but the Path of All Immortals itself is extremely treacherous. Remember this: selfish people don’t make it to the end. The Green Lotus Sect’s core principle is teamwork and mutual support, which is why our sect is so strong. You are all talented disciples, the future pillars of our sect. I hope all of you can come back safely..."

Elder Wang stood at the bow of the boat, his expression more serious than usual.

In a corner, Peak Master Huoyan was also giving instructions to his students.

"Don’t bring me shame. It’s time you got serious. The Path of All Immortals is a rare event, and if you miss this chance, you won’t get another."

"Peak Master, how many times have you told me this? I’m not tired of hearing it, but are you not tired of saying it?" Seongwoo Jin smiled, confused about why the sect sent his master along with him on this trip.

"Have you given me a single chance to tell you even once?" Peak Master Huoyan usually appeared cold and distant in front of others, but his disciples never failed to push his limits.

Seongwoo Jin was speechless. Since when did his master become so quick-witted Usually, it was he who could leave his master lost for words.

"Alright, I promise I’ll be serious this time. Besides, it’s hard not to be. There aren’t many female cultivators participating in the Path of All Immortals, and without women around, I can stay focused. You can rest assured, Peak Master."

The more he said, the more uneasy Peak Master Huoyan felt. "Really? I heard that the Divine Maiden Sect sent quite a few disciples over this time."

"Really?" Seongwoo Jin’s eyes lit up. "The Divine Maiden Sect has the most beautiful women in Mystic Void Continent. The prettiest female cultivators often join the Divine Maiden Sect, so you rarely see an unattractive woman there... but! Peak Master, don’t worry. I promise I won’t even look at them. Plus, the Divine Maiden Sect is also our opponent in the Path of All Immortals. I’ve heard that Dayeon Xinyue, one of their top talents, is at the peak of the Soul Formation Stage and is a top contender for the gold token. She’s supposedly beautiful, like a real fairy, and the most stunning woman on the continent."

Peak Master Huoyan’s expression had softened, but hearing his disciple continue, he couldn’t hold back any longer. He slapped Seongwoo Jin on the back of his head.

Seongwoo Jin’s head throbbed painfully. His master’s cultivation level was much higher than his own, so it wasn’t a gentle slap.

"Ouch, Peak Master, can you go easy? I get it, I was wrong!"

"I’m telling you, if you lose focus in the Path of All Immortals because of women, you’ll end up training with Tubang Yeling from now on," Peak Master Huoyan warned.

Seongwoo Jin’s face fell. If he had to follow his master, he might never leave the main peak for the rest of his life. He quickly raised his hand to pledge, "I swear, it won’t happen."

Peak Master Huoyan walked away with a cold huff, leaving it unclear whether he believed his disciple or not.
