Primordial Harem System

Chapter 207: Inner Sect

Shen Yuan nodded his head and turned back to Chen Yue, "Now that you have gotten the pill for your breakthrough, you can go ahead and enter seclusion as well with the others."

Chen Yue curiously tilted her head and asked, "If you don't mind me asking, what will you do now, Senior Brother?"

"I will head for the Inner Sect as well since I have already broken through to the Inner Sea realm," Shen Yuan replied as he began walking towards the exit since he hadn't found what he came here to look for.

Chen Yue hurriedly followed after him, "Ah, Senior Brother, let me accompany you to the Inner Sect. I have been there for a while now and know the routes of the place."

Shen Yuan hesitated briefly but soon nodded his head as they both took portals towards the center of the Sect where the Inner Sect was located.

"Halt!"

But a group of disciples stopped them at one point as they looked at Chen Yue first before shifting their gaze to Shen Yuan.

"Senior Brother Shen Yuan," they respectfully cupped their fists before asking, "Have you broken through to the Inner Sea Realm?"

Shen Yuan's eyes flashed with surprise as he didn't expect these mere disciples to see through his cultivation base at a glance, "Not bad, looks like you guys have quite a sharp eye—"

"Uh... It's not like that, Senior Brother. Our superiors ordered us to let you pass when you came since they expected you to come after your breakthrough." One of the leading disciples hurriedly interrupted him and explained quickly with a slightly red face.

"..."

Shen Yuan and the disciples silently gazed at each other for a brief moment.

"So anyways, I have broken through to the next realm and, as arranged, will go to the Inner Sect." Shen Yuan changed the subject flawlessly as if he had mastered the Dao of bullshitting.

The disciples heaved a sigh of relief as Shen Yuan changed the subject since it was getting awkward for them as well.

On the other hand, Chen Yue barely managed to hold back her laughter, but remembering Shen Yuan's crazy strength, she was able to restrain herself.

Shen Yuan lightly glanced back, and that was enough to make Chen Yue stand straight up.

The disciples guarding the portal made way for Shen Yuan as he paid them spirit stones and entered the portal for the Inner Sect.

Chen Yue followed after him as they both vanished inside the portal.

"His presence was terrifying," one of the disciples said as she put a hand on her chest.

"That's why he is one of the top candidates for the seat of Prime Disciple of our sect," the one who interacted with Shen Yuan said while looking at the portal.

"Let's just hope he doesn't bring calamity to our sect," one of the more peace-loving disciples murmured softly.

...

Shen Yuan opened his eyes as he felt the increased Qi density in the surroundings, as well as the strength of the disciples which had been massively improved.

The worst cultivation base among the disciples that he could see was at the Origin Core Creation Realm; not a single one of them was at the Inner Sea realm, as most disciples in the Inner Sea realm cultivate in seclusion to change their Qi from gaseous to liquid.

But due to Shen Yuan's actions, he had gathered a lot more than the average disciples at once, but he would also have to let his body rest for a few days before he can start again.

"Isn't this place much better than the Outer Sect?" Chen Yue came from behind him and asked.

"I was looking at the cultivation bases of the disciples here and realized that you have one of the weakest cultivation bases. Why don't you go into seclusion to break through first?" Shen Yuan commented with a smile as he glanced back to see her.

Chen Yue's lips twitched, "That's because most of them are a lot older than me; nearly none of them have the same cultivation base as me at my age."

Shen Yuan chuckled softly, "Alright, alright, I will believe what you say."

"What? You don't believe me?" Chen Yue looked at him in the eye and asked as if a cat had its tail stepped on.

Shen Yuan shook his head and started to walk again.

"Where are you going now?" Chen Yue caught up with him and asked.

"To meet up with one of the elders and tell them that I have broken through to the next level," he replied while walking forward as the surrounding disciples looked at him with mixed emotions; some looked at him with doubt, some with admiration, while some had loathing gazes.

But Shen Yuan didn't look at any of them as he walked towards the administration hall of the Inner Sect.

"Let me show you that place," Chen Yue said cheerfully as she took the lead and took him towards the administration hall.

Shen Yuan followed after her while feeling the atmosphere; the Qi was at least ten times denser than the Outer Sect.

He also felt that the comprehension of intents had become smoother after coming here.

'Looks like there is something more than just formations; that alone can't have the effect of increasing the comprehension speed of cultivators. And this...'

He closed his eyes for a second as he tried to look deeper into the essence flowing around him, and he was soon hit with a realization, 'Light intent... I see, so the core Intent of this sect is Light Dao.'

Just as he was about to deduce it further, Chen Yue's voice echoed from the front, "Here we are, this is the administration hall."

Shen Yuan came out from his thoughts and raised his head to look at the administration hall.

It was a giant building with simple decorations; he didn't think much as he stepped forward to enter inside of it.

Chen Yue followed after him as they both entered the hall.

"Shen Yuan, what brings you here?" a voice sounded from the side, making Shen Yuan turn his head to see Lan Rui walking towards him.

"Elder Lan Rui," Shen Yuan and Chen Yue greeted her as she came closer.

"Aw, no need to greet me so formally, you are my good friend's brother and disciple. We are practically a family at this point." Lan Rui smiled brightly as she came forward and stood in front of Shen Yuan and Chen Yue.

"That might be the case but we still need to adhere to the laws of the sect, and respecting one's seniors is one of them," Shen Yuan calmly replied.

"Haha, how wise of you. So, for what reason did you come here?" Lan Rui laughed slightly as she followed up with a question.

Shen Yuan said, "I have broken through to the Inner Sea Realm and, as per the Sect Leader's arrangement, have come here to take the Inner Sect Disciple identity token."

Shen Yuan formally announced his reason for coming here, which made Lan Rui raise an eyebrow, "So fast? I remember Huo Rong told me that you were only at the starting stages of Foundation Establishment Realm last month."
