Rosefinch lived in the Shi San for 12,500 years. In the rank 3 cultivation country of Chu, a red light appeared. It lasted for three days before disappearing. All the sects in Chu sent their disciples to investigate, but they found nothing. They only found an abandoned cave.
There was a rumor that a great treasure had appeared there and had already been taken by someone.
Some of the cultivators didn't believe this rumor, but there were some that believed it. The place where the red light appeared was less than 10,000 kilometers from the Cloud Sky Sect. As a result, the rumor that a great treasure had been taken by the Cloud Sky Sect began to spread.
In the same year, the Cloud Sky Sect refined a Heaven Damage Pill. This pill was an early stage rank 5 pill. It could allow a Nascent Soul cultivator's body to recover immediately. There was no need to possess someone else to be reborn.
The moment this pill appeared, the already famous Cloud Sky Sect became even more famous. All of the surrounding rank 3 cultivation countries were shocked. In the end, the Giant Demon Clan of the rank 4 cultivation country made a secret agreement to get the pill. Before they left, they placed a formation on the Cloud Sky Sect. This formation was very powerful. Even a normal rank 4 cultivation country would have a hard time breaking through it.
At the end of the same year, the Cloud Sky Sect opened its doors. The 10 day recruitment ceremony that happens once every 30 years began.
All of the cultivation families in Chu sent their direct descendants to the Cloud Sky Sect in hopes that they could become a member of the Cloud Sky Sect and bring honor to their ancestors.
However, the Cloud Sky Sect's requirements for accepting disciples were very strange. Unlike other sects, the Cloud Sky Sect's requirements for accepting disciples were based on luck.
As a result, the recruitment ceremony that happens once every 30 years would only accept 10 people at most. Compared to the thousands of people that come every time, it was really insignificant.
The Cloud Sky Sect's fame and the fact that they accepted so few disciples made it so that almost every rogue cultivator dreamed of becoming a disciple of the Cloud Sky Sect.
At the top of the Cloud Sky Mountain Range, there were rows of beautiful pavilions with a celestial atmosphere.
This was where the Cloud Sky Sect was located. In truth, this was only a small part of the Cloud Sky Sect. Most of the buildings were hidden by a spell. From afar, aside from the lush green trees, there was nothing else.
The three huge cyan characters were like a string of lanterns hanging high up in the sky. They were controlled by some kind of magical power and floated motionlessly in the air above the carving tower.
These three words were "Cloud Sky Sect".
Every thirty years, when the ten-day apprenticeship ceremony began, the three large words would appear in the sky. Once the ten-day period was over, the three large words would disappear.
As a result, all of the rogue cultivators and cultivation families in Chu knew that as long as the three words "Cloud Sky Sect" appeared in the sky, it meant that the recruitment ceremony had begun. The Cloud Sky Sect would be accepting disciples in Chu.
Once the three words disappeared, it meant that he had accepted her as his disciple.
It was over.
Early this morning, there were no clouds in the sky. Rays of sword energy flew from all directions toward the Cloud Sky Sect. When they were 500 kilometers away from the Cloud Sky Sect, the rays of sword energy landed, revealing many handsome men and women. None of them were very old. Some of them came on their own while others came with their elders.
In order to show their respect to the Cloud Sky Sect, all of the people who wanted to join the Cloud Sky Sect didn't fly anymore. Instead, they walked on foot.
If one were to look down from the sky, they would clearly see that within 500 kilometers of the Cloud Sky Sect, there were countless men and women walking in twos and threes.
Outside the gate of the Cloud Sky Sect stood three young cultivators. They were responsible for arranging the people who came to join the Cloud Sky Sect.
At this moment, 500 kilometers away from the Cloud Sky Sect, two cultivators, one male and one female, were walking forward. The male was about 27 or 28 years old. He was calm and his eyes were calm. There was a purple sword embroidered on his robe, indicating that he was already an inner disciple of the Sword Qi Sect.
Beside him was a young girl in her twenties. She wore a purple dress and a ribbon of the same color was tied around her waist. Her figure was curvaceous, and she gave off a lovey-dovey feeling.
Looking up, this girl's appearance was very attractive. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was beautiful enough to shame the moon and the flowers. At this moment, the girl pouted. She rubbed her legs and angrily said, "Big brother, what's so good about the Cloud Sky Sect? Why did Ruan want me to come here? I don't like alchemy, I like the Sword Qi Sect!"
The man's expression was normal. He looked at the girl, pointed at her forehead, and smiled. "The Sword Qi Sect is too murderous and not suitable for you. It has to be said that the Cloud Sky Sect is the leader of all the sects in Chu. Even if the country of Chu were to face a disaster, it wouldn't affect the Cloud Sky Sect at all.
If you can enter the Cloud Sky Sect, I'll be completely relieved. I believe that if your parents were still alive, they would be smiling in the underworld. "
When the girl heard her brother mention her parents, her expression darkened. After pondering for a while, she obediently nodded. She looked at her brother and said, "Big brother, if I can enter the Cloud Sky Sect, I'll only refine pills for you. What do you think? When your cultivation level is high enough, we can go back to the family and show those old fellows. Big brother, you can teach them a good lesson."
When the man heard this, he turned around and his eyes became cold. He was afraid that his sister wouldn't be able to handle the shock, so he didn't tell her the truth about what happened back then.
"Big brother, look at that person. His clothes are so strange."
The girl's eyes were wide open as she looked at the youth in front of her.
The man raised his head and saw a young man dressed in coarse clothes walking forward slowly two thousand feet in front of him.
It has to be said that the people who came to the Cloud Sky Sect to become a disciple were usually rogue cultivators or cultivator families. No mortals could come here.
Therefore, it was very rare to see someone dressed like this. This was clearly the clothing of a normal mountain village youth.
As if he heard the girl's voice, the youth turned around to look at the two of them. He didn't stop for a second before withdrawing his gaze and continuing to walk forward.
A hint of surprise appeared in the man's eyes. He knew that his sister's appearance was very attractive. Along the way, all the cultivators looked at her. This was especially true after they entered the 500 kilometer area of the Cloud Sky Sect. Anyone who saw his sister would take a few extra glances, but only this youth's eyes were as calm as water. When he saw his sister, there was no fluctuation in his eyes.
The man scanned the youth with his divine sense. This youth's cultivation level was only at the 2nd or 3rd layer of Qi Condensation.
After taking one look, he withdrew his gaze.
The girl looked at the youth with interest. She quickly walked over and shouted, "Hey, are you also here to become a disciple?"
The youth frowned. He ignored her and continued to walk forward.
The girl let out a snort. She gently jumped over the youth and landed before him. She said with dissatisfaction, "Are you mute?
Let me ask you, are you also here to become a disciple? "
The youth looked at the girl and helplessly said, "Isn't that nonsense?" With that, he shook his head and walked past the girl.
The girl's face turned red. She thought about it and realized that what she said was indeed nonsense. He was already here, yet she still asked if he was here to become a disciple.
The girl's brother let out a smile. He wasn't unhappy with the youth's answer. In fact, when his sister asked the question, he had the same feeling.
The girl stomped her foot and caught up to the youth again. She discontentedly said, "Of course I wasn't talking nonsense. The clothes you're wearing don't look like you're here to become a disciple. Look at everyone else, look at everyone else. Who else is like you? You have to know that the Cloud Sky Sect accepts disciples …"
The youth frowned again. He secretly sighed. From his point of view, this girl was just a silly girl, and a very annoying one at that.
If it wasn't for the fact that his cultivation level was too low, he would have waved his sleeves and left a long time ago.
Time quickly passed. In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon. The sun in the sky was getting hotter and hotter. Sweat appeared on the youth's forehead. He bitterly smiled. He hadn't felt like a mortal in a long time.
At this moment, the young girl beside him flipped her right hand and took out a few lychees from her bag of holding. She opened them and placed them in her mouth. She looked at the young man and extended her right hand.
"Do you want to eat them?"
The youth didn't even look at her. He shook his head and continued to walk forward.
The girl let out a snort and ignored him. She returned to her brother and placed all the lychees in his hand.
Two hours later, the Cloud Sky Sect was right in front of them. The youth's eyes revealed a hint of regret. Looking at the magnificent pavilion, he couldn't help but think of the Heng Yue Sect.
This youth was Wang Lin!
To be more accurate, it was Wang Lin's avatar.
To cultivate the God's Path, he created an avatar from his body. This avatar was like his original body, it had flesh and blood.
However, it could only live for 30 years.
This was the only method he could think of that would allow him to break through without losing his Ji Realm. As for his original body, it was hidden somewhere near the Cloud Sky Sect.
The cave from back then had been abandoned by him. The reason was that when the avatar appeared, there was a strange phenomenon. There was a burst of light that lingered for a long time.
As a result, he had to quickly give up the cave and find a new place to start his long term closed door training.
His original body went into closed door training while his avatar stayed at the foot of the Cloud Sky Sect for a few months. After the Cloud Sky Sect accepted disciples, Wang Lin decided to give it a try.
That's why the scene before him happened. Originally, Wang Lin's plan was to capture a disciple of the Cloud Sky Sect after he used up most of the spirit liquid and sneak in to steal the spirit liquid.
Since the Cloud Sky Sect was accepting disciples, Wang Lin decided to give it a try. If he could successfully become a disciple, then he wouldn't need to capture someone to sneak in.
Anyone who came to the Cloud Sky Sect and wanted to become a disciple would be taken to a side room in the outer mountains to rest. After 10 days, all the cultivators that came to the Cloud Sky Sect would be screened.
The girl that came with Wang Lin was taken into the sect by a disciple of the Cloud Sky Sect. Her brother turned around and left, but before he left, he looked at Wang Lin a few times.
Wang Lin's eyes were calm. Although his cultivation was gone, his experience was still there. From what he could see, this youth's cultivation was definitely not at the Core Formation stage. At most, he was at the late stage of Foundation Establishment. If Wang Lin's original body wanted to kill this kind of cultivator, it would be as easy as blowing off dust.
After living in the Cloud Sky Sect for a few days, the three big words in the sky slowly disappeared without a trace. At this point, the Cloud Sky Sect's disciple acceptance ceremony had come to an end.
The next step was to pick at most 10 disciples from all the people that came to the Cloud Sky Sect to become a disciple. The rest were all sent away from the Cloud Sky Sect.
On this day, on the large platform at the foot of the Cloud Sky Sect's mountain, thousands of disciples were sitting cross legged, waiting for the test.
Among these people, there were men and women, old and young. The highest cultivation level was at the Core Formation stage, and the lowest was similar to Wang Lin, at the 2nd or 3rd layer of Qi Condensation.
Around the platform stood dozens of Cloud Sky Sect disciples wearing white robes. Their faces were filled with indifference and pride. After all, they were already members of the Cloud Sky Sect, so their status was naturally a level higher than those who wanted to become a disciple of the Cloud Sky Sect.
Not long after, a middle aged man wearing a white robe with three pill cauldrons embroidered on his sleeve slowly floated down from the Cloud Sky Sect. As he floated in the air, he looked down at everyone and said, in a low voice, "Once you enter the Cloud Sky Sect, your status will be lowered by 10 ranks. If you don't want to, then leave now."
After he finished speaking, none of the thousands of people on the platform left. They all raised their heads and looked at him with determination in their eyes.
Among these people, there were a few Core Formation cultivators. They knew that the middle aged man's words were meant for them to hear.
After waiting for a while, the middle aged man waved his right hand and a force came from the stone platform. All of the disciples that wanted to become a disciple were pushed back a few steps, revealing a large empty space that was more than 100 feet wide.
At the same time, a pillar of black mist suddenly rose up from the empty space. Clouds churned inside the pillar, making it look very spectacular.
This thick pillar of black mist was like an arm that supported the heavens and earth. After it rose up from the ground, it extended into the sky. From the bottom up, it was impossible to see where it ended.
"Everyone, no matter what method you use, as long as you can feel what is inside the pillar, then you pass. The time limit is 12 hours."
The middle aged man's voice slowly came. After he finished speaking, he landed on the side and silently looked at the pillar of black mist.
Wang Lin's expression was calm as he calmly stared at the pillar of black mist and began to ponder. Although he was only an avatar, and when he formed the avatar, he didn't leave any of his cultivation or divine sense inside the avatar. However, aside from his cultivation and divine sense, all of his techniques and ancient god memories were left inside the avatar.
At this moment, Wang Lin's eyes lit up as he continued to analyze. Gradually, Wang Lin revealed a smile. From his point of view, this pillar was clearly some kind of restriction. The purpose of this restriction was to restrict anyone who wanted to see it.
The Cloud Sky Sect wanted to use this method to get rid of the disciples that wanted to become a disciple. However, Wang Lin still had one question. What was the main purpose of this restriction?
In other words, what kind of disciple was the Cloud Sky Sect trying to find with this restriction?
According to Wang Lin's understanding of restrictions, the restriction in front of him was something that normal people couldn't break. As a result, out of the thousands of people on the stage, almost none of them would be able to see through it.
If Wang Lin was able to see through it, then it would be too obvious that he was planning to hide his strength in the Cloud Sky Sect. However, this wasn't the main point. The main point was that Wang Lin was worried that if he didn't completely understand what kind of disciple the Cloud Sky Sect was trying to find, then if he used his own restriction to break the restriction, it would attract the attention of the Cloud Sky Sect. At that time, it wouldn't be worth it.
Therefore, Wang Lin didn't immediately break the restriction. Instead, he quietly waited. He didn't believe that the Cloud Sky Sect would set up such a large formation just to gather all these people together and then announce that no one passed.
If his analysis wasn't wrong, then it wouldn't be long before someone found the answer for him.
Time passed bit by bit. In the blink of an eye, six hours had passed. Some of the people on the stone platform could no longer sit still. They had already tried to probe with their divine senses, but whenever their divine senses touched the black fog, they would be immediately blocked by a force and bounced back. No matter what they did, they were unable to succeed.
Finally, one of them suddenly slapped his bag of holding and took out a wooden carving. He muttered an incantation and immediately threw it into the pillar of black fog.
The middle aged man responsible for accepting disciples didn't say anything about this. He just quietly looked at the stone pillar.
But Wang Lin carefully noticed that although the middle aged man's expression was calm, a few of the surrounding Cloud Sky Sect disciples revealed a strange expression.
The moment the wood carving appeared, it immediately grew until it turned into a giant golden eagle. It let out a shrill cry and charged into the black fog. However, the moment the golden eagle touched the black fog, a large hand came out from the black fog, grabbed the golden eagle, and put it inside the black fog.
The expression of the disciple that released the golden eagle immediately changed. He suddenly stood up, turned around, and said to the middle aged man from the Cloud Sky Sect, "Junior gives up. I hope senior can return the magic treasure. This is junior's family treasure, senior!"
The middle aged man looked at the disciple and slowly said, "The golden wood carving is a family treasure of the Gongsun family. Naturally, the sect won't keep it. Since you have already given up, then when we leave, we will naturally return it to you."
The disciple's expression immediately relaxed. His eyes revealed a look of gratitude as he walked off the stage.
"I said before that you can use any method you can think of. As long as you can see what is inside, then you will pass!"
The middle aged man emphasized once again.
At this moment, a youth on the stage carefully asked, "But if I see it clearly and say it out loud, then wouldn't others know?"
"That won't happen!
If any of you can see through the fog, then you will naturally know the secret of this place, "the middle aged man replied with a smile.
The moment the giant hand appeared in the depths of the black fog, Wang Lin's eyes lit up. He had been staring at the restriction the entire time. The moment the giant hand appeared, a crack appeared. With his divine sense, he was able to see several pills floating inside!
Wang Lin's expression remained the same, but his heart trembled. He pondered a bit and didn't act rashly. At this moment, many of the people on the stage were getting impatient. They all took out magic treasures to try and break the black fog.
As more and more disciples took out magic treasures, a giant hand would come out from the pillar and grab the magic treasures. If it wasn't for the middle aged man, these people wouldn't have used magic treasures like this. However, since the Cloud Sky Sect had said that if they gave up, they would return the magic treasures before leaving. As a result, no one had any more worries. At this moment, all kinds of magic treasures appeared in the sky.
Wang Lin was able to clearly see what was going on inside the fog through the gaps created by the attacks of the treasures. After all, he had a divine sense that allowed him to see through restrictions.
There were 11 pills, 11 pieces of jade, and 11 tokens with pill furnaces engraved on them.
As for what these three items represented, Wang Lin didn't know. However, just at this moment, there was a flash of golden light from the black fog. Shortly after, there was a flash of golden light from within the black fog. The golden light circled around the black fog once before turning into a piece of jade. It quickly flew out and landed on the stone platform. It landed in the hands of a girl who didn't know what was happening.
At this moment, the eyes of the middle aged man from the Cloud Sky Sect lit up. He arrived next to the girl and picked up the piece of jade. After looking at it, he smiled and said, "You passed!" With that, he waved his hand and a Cloud Sky Sect disciple flew over.
"Take her up the mountain!"
The middle aged man faintly smiled at the girl. He waved his sleeves and returned to his original position to wait for the next person to pass.
Even now, the girl's mind was still a blur. She was still in a daze as she was pulled up the mountain by the Cloud Sky Sect disciple.
Seeing that someone had passed, the people on the stone platform began to talk among themselves. The people from the Cloud Sky Sect didn't care about this at all.
Wang Lin's eyes lit up. He clearly saw that it wasn't the girl who saw through the black fog, it was the piece of jade that chose the girl.
When the middle aged man saw the piece of jade land in the girl's hands, he didn't immediately announce that she had passed. Instead, he picked up the piece of jade and looked at it before announcing it.
Through this, Wang Lin determined that the middle aged man was checking to see if the piece of jade had chosen the girl. From this, it could be seen that if he had acted rashly before, he would have been exposed.
Wang Lin sneered in his heart. The Cloud Sky Sect's disciple acceptance gift was indeed strange.
Just at this moment, there was another flash of golden light from within the black fog. Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he secretly formed a restriction with his right hand. With the spiritual energy in his body right now, he could only form a few simple restrictions. He wasn't able to form a restriction ring.
But even so, the restrictions he knew were passed down from ancient times. They were far more powerful than normal cultivators.
Reaching the Nascent Soul stage was going to happen very soon.
I've made everyone wait. According to the outline I made, I should be able to reach the Nascent Soul stage this month.
There was also Li Muwan. She would also have a role this month.
Perhaps the people have changed, or perhaps the feeling is still there. In short, everyone will see it.
