Chapter 78: Immortal Arrival Sect Examination
[Everything that followed went according to your expectations.]
[After Qiu Kuang learned about your relationship with Qiu Zhixuan, he didn't kill you outright. Instead, out of respect for Qiu Zhixuan and Jiang Lianqiu, he allowed you to join the Immortal Arrival Sect.]
[You pretended to hesitate for a moment before agreeing.]
[However, Qiu Kuang also mentioned that it wasn't easy for outsiders to join the Immortal Arrival Sect; you would need to pass a series of tests.]
[You were well aware of this, as it had been mentioned in previous simulations.]
[In that simulation, you had the Intelligence Reduction Aura talent, and before the tests could even begin, the members of the Immortal Arrival Sect fell into chaos due to your aura, and you were ultimately struck down by Heavenly Thunder.]
[This time, without the influence of the Intelligence Reduction Aura, you felt confident that things would go smoothly.]
[As you wished, Qiu Kuang brought you to the capital of the Great Abyssal Kingdom, which also housed a branch of the Immortal Arrival Sect.]
[Of course, Qiu Zhixuan and Jiang Lianqiu were also brought along.]
[Upon arrival, Qiu Kuang arranged for you to stay in a separate courtyard and warned you not to wander around, as it could be dangerous.][You understood Qiu Kuang's concerns. With your current cultivation level and not being a member of the Immortal Arrival Sect, you were indeed in a precarious position on their territory.]
[You could easily be killed by an Immortal Slave.]
[Even without Qiu Kuang's warning, you wouldn't have wandered around carelessly.]
[Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.]
[During this time, you spent your days in intimate moments with Qiu Zhixuan and taking care of Jiang Lianqiu.]
[This made Qiu Kuang, who had been secretly observing you for half a year, feel more at ease.]
[Not long after, Qiu Kuang brought a stranger, an Immortal Slave, to see you.]
[Qiu Kuang told you that he had spoken with the sect master, and as long as you passed the tests, you could join the Immortal Arrival Sect and receive their token.]
[The stranger beside him was to be your examiner.]
[Feigning excitement, you secretly used the Eye of Insight talent to observe the stranger.]
[Through your observation, you learned that the stranger's name was Gu Qing, a formidable expert at the third level of Tribulation Crossing, even stronger than Qiu Kuang.]
[You pondered for a moment. Having such a powerful expert as your examiner showed that the Immortal Arrival Sect took these tests very seriously.]
[As a local cultivator trying to join the Immortal Arrival Sect, it was indeed a form of infiltration, and they couldn't afford to take it lightly.]
[If it weren't for Qiu Kuang's guarantee, you wouldn't even have the chance to be tested!]
[Over the years, many local cultivators had tried to join the Immortal Arrival Sect.]
[After all, joining the Immortal Arrival Sect meant a chance at survival.]
[However, they were all ruthlessly rejected and killed by the Immortal Arrival Sect.]
[Only those with connections to the high-ranking members of the sect, like you, had a slim chance.]
[Gu Qing took you away directly.]
[Three days later, you received your first test task from Gu Qing: "Massacre a city."]
[You were momentarily stunned upon hearing this task.]
[However, you quickly weighed the pros and cons and, without hesitation, massacred three cities in a row!]
[Millions of civilians perished at your hands.]
[Gu Qing merely glanced at you coldly and remarked on your ruthlessness, without directly telling you whether you had passed.]
[Soon, Gu Qing assigned you a second test task.]
[This time, it was more challenging; you had to kill ten cultivators.]
[It took you five days to find and kill ten cultivators, completing the task.]
[Afterward, Gu Qing brought you back to the Immortal Arrival Sect.]
[You thought the tasks were over, but you were wrong.]
[Gu Qing brought you before Qiu Zhixuan and pointed at her, instructing you to kill her!]
[Upon hearing this task, your rational mind didn't feel any reluctance, but you sensed something was off.]
[Killing mortals and local cultivators made sense, as the Immortal Arrival Sect was known for such deeds.]
[But killing Qiu Zhixuan was clearly unreasonable.]
[After all, you were brought back by Qiu Kuang. If the task involved killing his granddaughter, would he still let you take the tests?]
[Such an unreasonable task was definitely suspicious, so you chose to refuse.]
[Gu Qing coldly shouted at you, saying that either Qiu Zhixuan dies and you join the Immortal Arrival Sect, or you die.]
[At the same time, Gu Qing's terrifying aura erupted, and he began to gather a spell in his hand.]
[Judging by his stance, if you continued to refuse, you would undoubtedly die.]
[Remaining calm, you shook your head and refused, telling Gu Qing that even if it meant your death, you wouldn't let Qiu Zhixuan be harmed.]
[At this moment, Gu Qing sneered and said, "Do you think I'm testing your feelings? Haha, this is the test to join the Immortal Arrival Sect. If you can't do it, then die!"]
[As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qing's spell shot towards you.]
[Hearing Gu Qing's words, you suddenly felt a bit shaken.]
[Could this really be the test to join the Immortal Arrival Sect? Was it not Qiu Kuang's test for you? Did you make the wrong choice?]
[As Gu Qing's attack drew closer, you steeled your resolve, closed your eyes, and quietly awaited the attack.]
[You bet that your choice was correct.]
[After a long time, the attack never landed on you.]
[You knew you had won the bet.]
[This time, you had completely passed the tests of the Immortal Arrival Sect and Qiu Kuang.]
[In fact, the tests of the Immortal Arrival Sect only involved massacring cities and killing cultivators.]
[The final test to kill Qiu Zhixuan was proposed by Qiu Kuang.]
[After learning from Gu Qing about your cold-blooded massacre of three cities, Qiu Kuang became suspicious of you again, leading to the previous scene!]
[After all, even members of the Immortal Arrival Sect couldn't be so cold-blooded.]
[After passing all the tests, you were brought to the headquarters of the Immortal Arrival Sect by Qiu Kuang and Gu Qing, where you received a jade talisman from Shen Wuyou.]
[This was the token of the Immortal Arrival Sect.]
[Qiu Kuang told you that by dripping a drop of your blood onto the jade talisman, you would officially become a member of the Immortal Arrival Sect.]
[Once the blood was on the talisman, members of the Immortal Arrival Sect would be able to sense each other and wouldn't mistake you for a local cultivator.]
[More importantly, the Heavenly Thunder that struck every few decades would no longer target you.]
[This was your goal, so you didn't hesitate at all.]
[You immediately dripped your blood onto the jade talisman, becoming a member of the Immortal Arrival Sect.]
