Chapter 710: The Olive Branch From Yutian Palace

After a short pause, Palace Master Gu Yue continued speaking to Su Yi:

“Obtaining the resources of Yutian Palace is considered the ultimate aspiration of many Soul Tamers, Alchemists, and Weapon Refiners. With your extraordinary spiritual quality, should you decide to officially join Yutian Palace, there’s no doubt you would receive the palace’s highest attention. You would have unrestricted access to all of Yutian Palace’s resources and even the chance to learn from retired experts within the palace. Given time, with your exceptional talent and soul, you are bound to become a leading figure in the world.

In other words, even the top-tier powers, such as Sacred Mountain, Taiqing Sect, Wuliang School, Divine Tiger School, and Tianlong Sect, cannot offer such resources!”

Palace Master Gu Yue looked at Su Yi with seriousness. On his wrinkled face, there was a hint of anticipation. For a young man like Su Yi, it would be a tremendous honor for Yutian Palace if he chose to join. The real strength of Yutian Palace lay in its collection of the world’s finest Weapon Refiners, Alchemists, and Soul Tamers. They were the foundational pillars that had helped the palace achieve its current status.

Su Yi narrowed his eyes, attempting to mask his feelings, but deep inside, he couldn’t ignore the growing excitement. From Xi Wuqing’s words, as well as the reactions of Bai Mingshan, Jian Wannian, Elder Suyun, and others towards Yutian Palace, Su Yi easily understood the magnitude of its power. Although Yutian Palace stayed neutral in worldly affairs, Su Yi had no doubt about the truth of Palace Master Gu Yue’s words. Yutian Palace’s strength was on par with Sacred Mountain. If he were to truly join, and with access to the best Soul Tamers and Yutian Palace’s vast resources, he could rapidly become a force to be reckoned with.

This prospect was too enticing for Su Yi to ignore.

Palace Master Gu Yue, observing Su Yi, waited for a response. He knew the value of a Heavenly Grade soul and understood that winning over Su Yi would require Yutian Palace’s full effort. Soon, this young man would be capable of becoming a central figure within the palace. Yutian Palace’s lasting strength came from consistently recruiting talent with immense potential.

“Thank you, Palace Master Gu Yue, for your generosity. However, I already have a master, so I can only offer my gratitude.”

With a slight shift in his gaze, Su Yi bowed to Palace Master Gu Yue. His ability to become a Soul Tamer was owed to the mysterious figure who had taught him the Heavens Taming Incantation. Though he had never formally apprenticed to that figure nor been able to help them escape their predicament, Su Yi felt deeply indebted to the mysterious figure. Even if he were to join another sect, he would at least inform that figure.

“Joining Yutian Palace doesn’t conflict with the mountain sect you’re affiliated with, little brother,” Palace Master Gu Yue remarked. “Yutian Palace has always distanced itself from worldly disputes. However, by joining, you would bear additional responsibility to the palace. This responsibility has been a key reason for Yutian Palace’s enduring strength.”

“Thank you, Palace Master Gu Yue, for your kind offer. This is an important matter, and after I return to my sect and report back, I will give you a formal response.”

Su Yi bowed, fully aware of the immense importance of the situation. The resources and opportunities offered by Yutian Palace were incredibly tempting. Yet, as the Sect Master of the Divine Demonic Sect, he couldn’t commit just yet.

“Is that so? But Yutian Palace is always ready to welcome little brothers.”

Palace Master Gu Yue appeared surprised. This was an opportunity that many alchemists, artifact makers, and soul tamers would dream of, and yet the young man had rejected it so easily. It puzzled him. However, Palace Master Gu Yue didn’t press further, as he could see that Su Yi had his own concerns. Once word of this reached Yutian Palace’s headquarters, it would surely spark their interest, and someone would come again in the future.

“Thank you, Palace Master Gu Yue.”

Su Yi bowed once more and prepared to leave, as Xi Wuqing and the Green Emperor were still waiting for him outside.

“Young brother, you have passed the evaluation of Yutian Palace. Though your emblem is only at the half-step Heavenly Grade, your treatment remains the same. In any Yutian Palace branch, you will have unrestricted access. You will also have full access to any publicly available information from the palace. Should you need assistance, Yutian Palace will support you fully,” Palace Master Gu Yue said as Su Yi was about to leave. The benefits of being a Heavenly Grade Soul Tamer were something many dreamed of and were hard to imagine for ordinary people.

Su Yi bowed again, feeling that the treatment he would receive at Yutian Palace would be excellent. However, he still didn’t know just how powerful being a Heavenly Grade Soul Tamer at Yutian Palace truly was—the benefits were beyond imagination.

As Su Yi departed, Palace Master Gu Yue’s expression grew weary. His slightly squinted eyes turned thoughtful as he watched Su Yi leave. A faint smile touched his lips, and he murmured, “Such an exceptional disguise technique… Does the Overlord Sect truly possess such a secret?”

After bidding farewell to Palace Master Gu Yue, Su Yi exited the courtyard. A young disciple from Yutian Palace was already waiting outside, showing a great deal of respect. The disciple evaluated Su Yi discreetly, his heart racing. He had witnessed the intense testing earlier, which had almost seemed miraculous.

The young disciple informed Su Yi that Xi Wuqing and the Green Emperor were waiting outside.

Following the young disciple, Su Yi traversed several long corridors. Shortly after, they arrived at a quiet hall where Xi Wuqing and the Green Emperor had been waiting.

“It’s getting late; let’s head outside and talk.”

Xi Wuqing stood up as he saw Su Yi approach.

“Ladies and gentlemen, Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan has instructed that you enter through the side door to avoid any disruptions. The recent commotion has attracted quite a crowd, and several powerful individuals from the Central Region have come to inquire about the situation. Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan is currently handling them,” the young disciple explained. The area outside Yutian Palace had become crowded, with many strong individuals gathering to learn more about the recent events.

“Let’s use the side door then,” Xi Wuqing agreed, casting a glance at Su Yi. In his eyes, there was a hint of amazement. Who could have predicted that this young man could detect souls and stir such a commotion? It was indeed an extraordinary spectacle.

Led by the young disciple, Su Yi, Xi Wuqing, and the Green Emperor quietly exited through a side door of the palace.

Outside Yutian Palace, Su Yi looked up. The sky had turned dusky, and colorful clouds covered half the sky. The sounds of lively conversation from the city grew louder.

“How are you feeling?”

As the young disciple walked away, Xi Wuqing asked Su Yi, his eyes curious, eager to learn who Su Yi had met.

Su Yi explained everything, not hiding anything from Xi Wuqing.

“It was actually Old Man Gu Yue,” Xi Wuqing replied, his voice filled with surprise, astonishment, and a touch of disbelief.

“Do you know Palace Master Gu Yue?” Su Yi asked, sensing Xi Wuqing’s familiarity with him.
