Chapter 1502: Chapter 1506: Mixed In

The Soul Flag Ancient Palace is very adept at utilizing the human heart.

They keep righteousness and morality on their lips, while constantly offering small benefits.

Providing free accommodations, offering delicious food, there are drinks at night, and groups of young cultivators gather together, sharing a common bond, discussing their ambitions, passionately explaining how they will bring prosperity to the world once they become Heavenly Star Gods.

In such an atmosphere, everyone begins to speak freely, and every wandering cultivator who is scorned by others feels like they’ve found their true belonging!

There is no prejudice or discrimination here; as long as one is willing to join them, they are comrades, close as brothers.

Breaking away from old traditions, creating their own sect, and carving out their own space in the already stabilized situation!

After Zhu Minglang deliberately stayed in this ancient palace for ten days, he understood how Ji Yuanye manipulated hearts, how he expanded his power, and spread his followers across the Nine Heavens Wilderness!

He essentially gave the chance for transformation that everyone desires to those who were thwarted in their aspirations, letting them see hope.

This hope is real because those who mastered the Soul Flag Technique truly became strong, gaining important positions throughout Xuantian Capital—a growing number knew their sect, and more joined them, the fervent faith spreading like a plague amongst many…

Supporters and defenders continued to stream in; most critically, even some prominent figures in Xuantian began to back the Soul Flag Master, frequently appearing in the ancient palace, which made more people believe in the capabilities of Immortal Master Ji, and trust he was on the same level as the Xuantian Heaven Master!

The majority of supreme deities wouldn’t easily accept disciples or impart any methods, but here there was education without discrimination, no matter if one was an insignificant cultivator or already a well-known providence-lord, they received the respect they deserved.

Zhu Minglang skated by on food and drink here; whatever he wanted to ask, they truthfully told him, whatever he wished to do went unobstructed—an atmosphere of peace and equality made one believe this was how cultivators should be, all receiving respect, only needing firm beliefs and effort to gain rewards within the Soul Flag Gate-clan!

Zhu Minglang knew very well that many cultivators had been led astray by seeing these appearances.

He was here observing because Zhu Minglang needed to identify all the core members of the Soul Flag Gate-clan.

He couldn’t allow these people to bring disaster anymore, nor could he let any escape since any Soul Flag Master could rise again, potentially becoming the next era’s Ji Yuanye!

“Everyone, our Land Immortal Teacher has a matter that requires everyone’s full assistance; not sure who excels in Yin Technique, or those possessing a Yin Dragon, who can join this ritual.” said a man in a red robe.

To gain more recognition, these young cultivators were very eager.

Interacting with the underworld?

Zhu Minglang was a bit curious about what Ji Yuanye’s chief disciple Lu Hou was plotting.

“I have a Death Spirit Dragon,” Zhu Minglang stood up and said to the man in the red robe.

“What is its cultivation base?”

“Star Yao God Master,” Zhu Minglang replied.

As soon as these words left his mouth, everyone’s gaze fell on Zhu Minglang—recently, he had been mingling with these Taoist friends, most thought Zhu Minglang was drifting along here, never imagining he was God-Lord Level.

Especially several women whose eyes bore different looks as they gazed at Zhu Minglang.

“That’s great, during tomorrow night’s waning moon, come to Ling Palace,” the red-robed Taoist said.

After saying this, the red-robed Taoist went to another place where Taoist friends gathered, continuing to seek talented individuals from among them.

“Who would have thought, Brother Zhu turned out to be a deity!”

“Indeed, indeed, these days just occupied with wine and laughter, never delved deeper, truly disrespectful.”

“Taoist Friend Zhu, we can definitely get closer in the future,” a smiling demonic cultivator woman suggested.

Zhu Minglang smiled and ambiguously moved past the topic.

In reality, the group of people Zhu Minglang acquainted with here also came for food and amusement—they had their own skills and didn’t plan to abandon their cultivation base to join the Soul Flag Gate-clan, just for some commotion and novelty.

There indeed are many worldly opportunities, but most widely spread ones are often traps, discerning people might step in to take a look, but won’t be easily swayed, they often have their own judgment.

Clear-minded individuals naturally clump together, while fervent believers also gather among themselves.

The mixed-group Taoist friends Zhu Minglang knew mostly were clear-headed, in fact Ji Yuanye’s sermon wasn’t so deeply ingrained, cultivators weren’t all fools, knowing they must peel away appearances to see the most genuine scene.

Yet Zhu Minglang was somewhat curious.

What was Ji Yuanye’s chief disciple Lu Hou scheming?

Why gather those who wield the Underworld Art?

“Slow~~~~~~”

Little White Bai Qi was still a sleepyhead, awake for a brief moment before closing its eyes again, appearing completely disinterested in the surrounding happenings.

However, it clearly enjoyed this laziness and comfort, only needing to nestle on Zhu Minglang’s shoulder.

Zhu Minglang stroked its feathers.

“It’s obvious you’re not suited here,” the demonic cultivator woman told Zhu Minglang.

“Why?” Zhu Minglang asked.

Th𝑖𝘴 𝒸hȺp†𝗲r ɩ𝗌 pՕ𝐬𝖙𝗲ⅾ b𝓎 Ƙ𝙞τ𝙚𝑛οⱽᥱ𝑙

“The way you dote on this Little White Dragon, even women would envy you; you’re the quintessential Dragon Slave among Dragon Shepherds,” the demonic cultivator woman said.

Heard of Cat Slave, never heard of Dragon Slave…

But Zhu Minglang also found nothing wrong in what the demonic cultivator woman said.

“Actually, many who come here share your unique affection for dragons, seeing them as family, friends, wishing they won’t be influenced by those around them, doing things they’ll regret forever.” The demonic cultivator woman sighed heavily.

Zhu Minglang paused, not expecting the flamboyant demonic cultivator woman to grasp the essence of the Soul Flag Master.

“Indeed, sometimes I wonder too… isn’t it better to just be human?” Zhu Minglang remarked.

In fact, those determined to join the sect were aware themselves.

“Be careful, tomorrow night surely isn’t a good affair,” the demonic cultivator woman kindly cautioned Zhu Minglang.
