“Brother, are you also here to join the Tianhe Sect?”

Xu Mu moved forward with the crowd, “inching” his way. The place was near overflowing with people coming to sign up for the Tianhe Sect, many hauling servants and families along, making the gates nearby look like a sea of people.

A youth clad in faded leaf-coloured clothes was pushed to Xu Mu’s side due to the thronging crowd, and out of boredom, initiated a conversation.

“What else could one do at this time but apply!” Xu Mu shrugged.

This avatar of his had reached the expected age for initiation after the recent spell.

“You’re right, indeed! Haha!” The youth scratched his head, finally realizing he had asked a rather silly question, his face slightly flushed.

“My name is Qi Yue, with ‘Qi’ as in ‘level with heaven’ and ‘Yue’ as in ‘mountain’. What’s your name?”

“Xu Da!”

Xu Mu answered.

“Is Xu Da? Do you have a younger brother named Xu Er?” Qi Yue instinctively asked.

“No!”

“Oh!”

“Where is your hometown? I am from Linxianzhou Yuanlong City!”

“I came from the Liyang Sect in Liyang City.”

“Liyang Sect? You mean the Liyang Sect near the Cloud Peak Mountain Range?”

“Correct!”

“That’s really far! Why didn’t you just join the Liyang Sect?” Qi Yue asked curiously.

“The Liyang Sect is too small! I’m afraid it might delay my progress to the Nascent Soul stage!” Xu Mu casually replied.

Qi Yue’s eye twitched.

To the Nascent Soul stage?

His bragging was enough to elevate him to the Immortal World!

However, he quickly realized that Xu Mu was just pulling his leg.

Thus, he decided to play along as well.

“I thought you were worried about your slow progress to the Divinity Transformation stage. Unlike me, I would be content just to reach the Refining Void stage.”

Xu Mu was at a loss for words.

His previous words were half-true, half-false, but he didn’t expect the other party to join the bluff.

“Don’t worry! Once I advance to Mahayana Celestial Immortal, I’ll surely help you advance to the stage of Refining Void!”

“I’m afraid once I reach the stage of Da Luo Dao Ancestor, you’re still at Qi Cultivation Stage!”

In this way, the two of them began to tease each other, triggering laughs from the surrounding people, and both of them gradually became familiar with each other.

Xu Mu didn’t mind that the other party was just a little brat and found their conversation enjoyable.

As the crowd moved, their turn came soon. After they completed their registration, they left the crowded area and arrived at a nearby square.

All the people who had successfully signed up gathered here, all of them between nine to twelve years old.

“Does this mean we have joined the Tianhe Sect?”

A girl dressed in pink seemed to be talking to herself, but also seemed to be asking.

Qi Yue replied quite familiarly, “How is that possible! There are four to five thousand people here. Even if the Tianhe Sect is a Nascent Soul sect, they can’t support so many cultivators!”

“As far as I know, we still have to go through three tests before we can officially join the Tianhe Sect!” A boy in a green suit said.

“Do you know what those three tests are?” Another person asked.

In this way, seven or eight boys and girls formed a temporary small group, and the surrounding situation was almost the same.

Xu Mu was drawn into the group naturally because he was close to Qi Yue, even though he didn’t say a word.

Although these boys and girls had heard words from their families before they came, what they knew was still very limited.

The reason was simple – their identities were not high.

The Tianhe Sect has two ways of recruiting disciples. One is by recommendation. Major families and powers affiliated with the sect can send their outstanding seedlings directly.

The other is through the once-in-ten years disciple ceremony. This is the only way ordinary cultivators can join the Tianhe Sect – it’s almost equivalent to their leap to success.

All the four to five thousand boys and girls present were of ordinary Loose Cultivator backgrounds. Their parents might not know much about the situation, let alone them.

Xu Mu had Chi Feiyan inquire before he came, so he should know the most about the test and its contents among everyone present.

The Tianhe Sects’ tests are divided into three. The first one tests aptitude, the second tests one’s nature and character. As long as one passes the first two tests, they will be able to join the Tianhe Sect. The third test is a comprehensive one, which will classify the joined disciples into different ranks.

Not much time passed before the trials officially began as all sign-ups were over.

A ship, large enough to carry the previous crowd, came to the shore. Several disciples of the Tianhe Sect, dressed in white, were standing at the entrance. “Board the ship!”

A disciple shouted loudly, the sound echoing over a distance of ten li.

“This ship is so small, can it carry all of us?”

Someone asked doubtfully.

Even though children are smaller than adults, the ship clearly couldn’t carry more than four or five times its capacity.

“Are you stupid! They can just make several round trips!” Someone else said, considering themselves smart.

“Wouldn’t that be too troublesome?”

Someone else looked up at the Tianhe Sect Mountain Gate in the sky.

There are two ways to get to Tianhe Sect. One is to fly directly up there, and the other is to take a boat and go up the river.

Since none of them could fly due to their lack of cultivation, it was obviously impossible to fly up. But given the depth of Tianhe Sect’s foundation, finding a few flying boats would be easy.

Thus, they didn’t understand why a ship was necessary to make several round trips.

Those who knew the actual situation could not help laughing.

“Insufficient? Haha! I think there may even be extra space!”

“What do you mean?”

The crowd was confused.

Just then, the boys and girls closest to the river and waiting for the boat began to encounter problems.

“What’s going on? Why can’t I get on?”

Someone who was climbing the stairs to the boat was seemingly pushed by an invisible force and was sent flying, while the person with him got on the boat with ease.
