Chapter 386 – Mount Hua’s Divine Token (1/2)
“Line up!”
“Line up! No one better think of cutting the queue!”
“Damn it! Don’t think you’re a woman and you can cut the queue! So what if you’re pretty? You still have to line up if you’re a beautiful lady!”
There was a very long line of people.
From the base of the mountain all the way up to the middle of the mountain that was covered in immortal-like air.
One couldn’t see the end of it!
Everyone’s expression contained a trace of excitement mixed with anticipation.
This entire month was Mount Hua Immortal Sect’s once-a-year recruitment of disciples. All the peerless talents millions of kilometers out were swarming this place. There were even some that have used up a few months to a year to rush here.
Immortal sect!
Deep inside their hearts, this was a place that all martial artists wished to belong to.
To all martial artists, this was considered their holy ground!
A holy ground that can change your life; a holy ground that can make your cultivation soar upwards; a holy ground that can allow you to step one foot closer to the heavens.
Mount Hua Immortal Sect once had a glorious era.
They only recruited disciples from the elite of the elite. Everyone selected was a talent from one in ten thousand!
Present day…
These martial artists didn’t have any outstanding characteristics. The place where they were testing their talents, the Elders in charge had a gloomy look on their faces. They were constantly shaking, shaking, and shaking their heads. The month was almost over and out of several tens of thousands of applicants, there were less than a hundred qualified as disciples. Those that were qualified to become disciples had just reached their initial standards of the sect. Even if they were groomed with focused care, their accomplishments will still not go very far. As for the immortal sect disciple competition next year, they were going to lose to the point of it being a complete mess again.
The Mount Hua Immortal Sect had fallen to a record low.
Using video game lingo – they had fallen off the stage!
Eighteen heavily groomed disciples were crippled by Murong Wanjian alone, so Mount Hua Immortal Sect fell into an ice cave ever since.
He was incomparably strong with a true dragon’s bloodline!
He was strong to the point that Mount Hua Immortal Sect was caught unprepared. Watching how eighteen disciples were smashed off the stage, Sect Leader Venerable Yun Ji’s heart turned to ash.
This past year, Mount Hua Immortal Sect had been searching all over for talented disciples with bloodlines, but they couldn’t find any good seedlings. This actually caused other immortal sects to also compete in searching so they weren’t able to recruit a single inherited bloodline disciple.
Not long ago…
Devil Monarch Skysoul from the Devil Sealing Array was killed by an ordinary youth.
Venerable Yun Ji immediately sent Wu Nian out to invite him.
But…
The things that happened in Heavenly Sword City gave him a huge headache.
Luo Tian was standing in the center of the main hall with a calm expression without saying a word.
The present Elders were all coldly staring at him with anger in their eyes. They were only giving Venerable Wu Nian some face by not exploding on the spot.
“Wu Nian, is this how you take care of matters by bringing a malignant star back to our Mount Hua Immortal Sect? You should’ve left right away back then. He killed the Starsea envoy – the correct thing you, as an immortal sect disciple should have done was extend a hand in saving the envoy. This would actually make Starsea Immortal Sect owe us a favor. Who knows? We might even form a relationship with the Starsea Immortal Sect and our disciples will thus feel less pressure during the competition next year. But you… you… how do you want me to lecture you? It’s fine if you don’t save him yet you actually bring the culprit back to our immortal sect? What makes me even more confused is that you used our Mount Hua Immortal Sect as a gambling stake. Not only have you offended the Starsea Immortal Sect, you even managed to offend the Imperial God Immortal Sect as well. What do you want me to say to you?”
“What Grand Elder said is correct.”
“He cannot stay or else Mount Hua Immortal Sect will provoke a fatal disaster.”
“Even though Starsea Immortal Sect’s strength is ranked number two, their abilities are not much weaker than the Imperial God Immortal Sect. Our Mount Hua Immortal Sect’s crop is not yet ripe, our situation precarious, so how are we supposed to resist them?”
Inside the main hall.
The Elders of Mount Hua Immortal Sect were each saying a piece in their discussion.
The result of their discussion was unanimous.
Luo Tian cannot stay!
