Magic Sect of Beauties: The Strongest Mage is in a Cultivation World

Weeks passed, and numerous worlds were recovering from the havoc wreaked by the Heavenly Court.

Yang Wei's name had spread far and wide; he was becoming a legend among the members of the Azure Tree, with people already lauding him and passing down stories of his deeds to their children, as if he were an ancient cultivator.

However, Yang Wei himself remained unaware of their admiration, as he had been lost in deep contemplation within the Dimensional Osmanthus World.

Outside the Dragon Blossom Sect, folks from all over the Mashyan World, and even cultivators from other worlds in the Azure Tree, gathered at the entrance. There were alchemists, spirit beast dealers, wealthy folks from powerful families, noblewomen and men, courtesans, and sect masters, all clamoring eagerly and shouting at the top of their lungs.

Despite the efforts of several disciples from both the Dragon Blossom Sect and the White Serpent Sect to calm them down, the crowd, numbering over 30,000 strong, swarmed the place, hoping to gain entry.

If it weren't for a barrier being erected, they surely would've overrun it.

Mu Zhong sighed, "As I explained, this is simply the policy of the sect. Only those who are authorized can go in. Everyone else please leave!"

One of the noblewomen raised her voice, "How dare a man tell me what to do?!" She angrily waved her fist.

Other people, from rich family heads to alchemists, started to voice their thoughts as well.

"Yeah! Do you know how far I had to travel to make it here?!"

"Please, let us see him, just once! Heck, I'll even take a piece of his cloth, that'll be enough for my kids!"

Deng Rulan was also helping guard the entrance. "Listen you people, this is the sect's policy, we can't go against it..."

Mu Zhong looked at her and sighed, "I doubt they care."

"Yeah, unfortunately..." Deng Rulan held her head in her hand; she had a headache because of the crowd's noise.

To think I was actually considering kidnapping Yang Wei before. I never knew he was a cultivator comparable to Divine Realm, perhaps he was hiding his true cultivation base? *groan* As if it matters now...

Suddenly, a large group of courtesans shouted.

"Bring down this barrier, we want to see Yang Wei!!"

...

At the Golden Palace, all the matriarchs from both sects were in a roundtable meeting, except for Matriarch Dragon Sun (Míng Huīrán), who was still recuperating.

"As you know, we're all here to discuss the reunification of the two sects. I, Bai Suzhen, Sect Founder, believe it's the wisest choice for both sects to reunify before the meeting for the Sect Resource-Allocation Trial. It isn't the right time to discuss this... I'm aware, but simply because our sect has suffered great losses doesn't mean we can't focus on what lies ahead."

Yuèhuī Ménglóng cleared her throat, "Personally, I don't think my opinion holds much weight here. Since I haven't been part of the sect since its unification, I don't have a basis to form a judgment. So, I'll just go along with whatever the Sect Founder decides."

"Thank you, Ménglóng." Bai Suzhen smiled.

Venomheart swept her long green hair back and let out a gentle exhale. As she elegantly folded her arms, her breasts lifted slightly, prompting Bai Suzhen to reflexively compare her own smaller breasts to Venomheart's undoubtedly larger ones. Bai Suzhen's expression immediately soured, as if she felt Venomheart had intentionally flaunted her assets to mock her, the Sect Founder.

"Is everything alright?" Fangblade asked Bai Suzhen.

Bai Suzhen pouted and looked away, "Everything's fine!"

Venomheart, completely unaware of what was on Bai Suzhen's mind, spoke her mind.

"By now, the other high-ranking sects have already put one and two together and know our entire history as the Celestial Serpent Sect, including our ties to the Blood Emperor Polarity Sect. They're likely scheming to temporarily team up and take down both our sects during the Sect Resource-Allocation Trial if we decide throw down the gauntlet.

But, if we join forces, leveraging our centuries-old knowledge and strength, we might just have a chance at defeating the other sects and emerging victorious."

Bai Suzhen nodded, "So, you agree with my proposal for a unification?"

"Yes."

Then, both Venomheart and Bai Suzhen looked at Fangblade.

Simply waving her hand, Fangblade calmly replied, "I have no objections of course. As long as my disciples survive, I am fine with this idea."

Only one person remained to agree to the unification, and they knew she would be the most difficult to persuade.

It was Liáng Xīnyuè.

All eyes were on her, and while she appeared calm, the fact that she hadn't uttered a single word didn't sit well with them.

"So, Xīnyuè, what's your decision?" Bai Suzhen asked.

Fangblade looked very worried as she looked at the woman who was once like a sister to her.

I'm sure she'll frown at the idea. *sigh* I don't think she'll ever forgive me...

The woman already looked defeated by her doubts.

Liáng Xīnyuè stood up from her chair and calmly walked towards a seated Fangblade. "Mingxia..." she called her name.

Fangblade answered by looking up at her. "Y-yes?"

Liáng Xīnyuè stared at her with a hardened expression.

"I'll be honest. When we first clashed over the future of the Celestial Serpent Sect, I was hurt. I resented you for daring to alter our sect's destiny. Even after I crippled your cultivation and banished you from the sect, the hurt lingered... *deep breath* but recent events have shed light on why you did what you did 10,000 years ago.

You were trying to rescue the sect from certain doom, weren't you?"

Smiling warmly, Fangblade stood up to face Liáng Xīnyuè.

"Yes, I was. I was also telling the truth when I mentioned having a connection in the Heavenly Court. When the Divine-Emperor warned our Celestial Serpent Sect about the threat of annihilation if we allowed the Blood Emperor Polarity Sect to create a new Blood Dragon Pool using our guardian dragons, I knew we were in trouble.

And when we failed to safeguard all our guardian dragons, Yu Fa, a Divinity from the Heavenly Court, warned me that unless our sect ascended to a higher dao layer or perhaps a higher expanse, destruction awaited us."

Bai Suzhen looked very cheerful when she heard all this. Then, she let out a dramatic smile and commented, "So, all your defiance was all so our sect would be prepared for divine judgement. You knew even if most of the issues had already been settled, there was a possibility of our world being in danger."

Fangblade nodded.

"And, I-, I didn't believe you..." bitterly said Liáng Xīnyuè.

Venomheart shrugged, "Well, at this point, most of it doesn't matter."

"Indeed." Fangblade held out a handshake for Liáng Xīnyuè and said, "Can we just put all that behind us? Like Tung-Mei said, it's inconsequential now."

Liáng Xīnyuè gladly accepted Fangblade's handshake.

"Thank you, my sister."

"Alright, alright, enough of that," said a chuckling Bai Suzhen as she slouched back on her chair and crossed her legs atop the large roundtable. "On to the next matter."

"Hm?" Yuèhuī Ménglóng uttered. "Which is?" Enjoy exclusive chapters from empire

"We require a mediator for both sects, someone well-versed in the workings of each and capable of impartiality. This individual would hold a title surpassing that of a sect master and nearly equivalent to that of a patriarch, necessitating trust with the most confidential secrets of the Celestial Serpent Sect."

Hearing Bai Suzhen say this, both Fangblade and Liáng Xīnyuè grew curious. "And who would that be?" they both asked.

"Oh, I have an idea..." Bai Suzhen closed her eyes peacefully.
