Chapter 640 – Daoist Temple Disciple
The Heavenly Court, Underworld and Immortal Region were collectively called the Lower Three Realms.
Most people would assu that since the Heavenly Court stood at the top, and the Underworld below, the Immortal Region was naturally in the middle.
That was not actually the case.
The Immortal Region was considered its own realm because of its special location. The middle of the Heavenly Court and the Underworld was made up of places were humans lived and the Endless Beast Region where yaos resided.
The Immortal Region...
Had its own separate space.
“System, you bastard!”
Ye Zichen couldn’t help but curse after stepping through the portal. He didn’t even have ti to admire the scenery of the new location around him.
The place where the portal connected to was actually...
In the sky!
Bang.
Thus, since Ye Zichen was unable to react in ti, he fell heavily onto the ground. Even though his body was tough enough to withstand it, he still felt extrely dizzy.
“Hey, the kid over there...”
Ye Zichen who was rubbing his face looked up in confusion, then saw a middle-aged man wearing a daoist robe squat in front of him.
“You ca to signup, right? The signups already over, but since you fell so terribly, I’ll give you a chance.”
“Huh?” Ye Zichen was confused.
“Don’t get too excited and don’t try to thank . It’ll be on you for whether you can stay in our daoist temple. But you are kind of old, so don’t think about becoming an inner sect disciple. Try your best to beco an outer sect disciple!” the middle-aged man shook his head and walked forward.
Ye Zichen continued to watch the man in confusion before looking around and seeing several hundred young n around his age standing there.
“What are you blanking out for? Hurry up,” the middle-aged man waved him on.
Ye Zichen was confused, but he still nodded, “I’m coming.”
...
As Ye Zichen followed behind the group of people, he was still completely confused. What’s going on? Didn’t I co to the Immortal Region to et the heads of the Immortal Region? Why did I end up as a disciple at so temple?
Also, this temple’s like super low! They’re just walking forward aimlessly. When the hell are we stopping!?
“Brother, you want to cultivate at this age? That’s impressive,” a lecherous looking uncle drew closer to Ye Zichen and cupped his hands.
Ye Zichen was shocked when he saw the man. He looks...
At least thirty or forty...
“I think you are the impressive one. You want to beco a disciple at your age.”
“Brother, don’t misunderstand, I just matured a bit quicker. We should actually be around the sa age,” the lecherous uncle smiled. “I’m telling you, it’s going to be hard for the inner sect elders to beco interested in us. You should be aiming to beco an outer sect disciple, right? It really is a coincidence, I am too. Let’s get to know each other earlier so we can take care of each other.”
“It’s hard to say whether we’ll even get chosen,” Ye Zichen shrugged. After all, he didn’t co here to beco a disciple.
“Hey, don’t worry. The competition to beco an inner sect disciple might be rather intense, but we’ll definitely beco outer sect disciples,” the man patted his chest confidently. “I already asked around. The higher ups told all sects to recruit more disciples to prevent sothing. Who cares what that is, but we’re the lucky ones. We’re the first batch to be chosen from, so we’ll definitely get in. Even if we only beco outer disciples, the villagers back ho will still need to call us Lord Immortal. That’s so great!”
“Is that so!” Ye Zichen smiled.
The man also spoke up once more, “Ahh, look at . We still don’t know what each other is called, right? I’m Cui Fugui1. My na’s a bit la, but my parents wanted to live a wealthy life. What’re you called?”
“Ye Zichen.”
“Then Brother Ye, we know each other now, so we have to help each other after we get into the outer sect. I heard that there are quite a lot of different factions in the outer sect, so us new people have to work together.”
“Silence in the back!” Soone shouted from the front.
Cui Fugui, who was blabbering continuously, imdiately shut his mouth, but still continued to eye Ye Zichen.
...
Approximately four hours later and after a long distance that Ye Zichen couldn’t even rember, the group finally stopped walking.
“The ones who want to get into the outer sect on the left, the ones who want to get into the inner sect on the right!”
Whoosh.
Ninety percent of the people moved to the right, leaving only a few walking towards the left. Most of those who walked towards the left were older people. After all, everyone would fight for the chance to enter the inner sect if they could.
“Hey you, the guy standing in the middle. Where do you want to go?”
Ye Zichen scratched his chin. His arrival there was a complete misunderstanding.
“Bro, what are you blanking out for. Co here!” Cui Fugui repeatedly waved towards him.
Ye Zichen scratched his nose. He thought about it for a mont, then realized that he didn’t know what to do even if he was to leave, so he walked towards where the ones aiming to beco outer sect disciples were.
“That’s more like it. Bro, don’t tell that you wanted to go to the inner sect area. Look at who’s over there. I heard that there’s a genius amongst them with a water attribute spiritual root. He managed to reach the complete stage of the Human Immortal level at thirteen years old, so he’s definitely going to beco the True Disciple. Any inner sect disciple who can’t beco the True Disciple isn’t anything special. The outer sect’s far more comfortable,” Cui Fugui continued to blabber.
Ye Zichen nodded and didn’t say anything.
“Outer sects go with Senior Brother Hu. Inner sect co with !” with that, the black-robed man left the large group of people away.
anwhile, Senior Brother Hu, who was the middle-aged man who told Ye Zichen to join them, smiled towards the people who were competing to beco outer sect disciples, “You’re all persistent people, but you might not know that I was too. Don’t fret, you still have a chance to shine as long as you work hard even in the outer sect. I got in from the outer sect as well, and is now a complete stage Human Immortal. Although I’m rely in the bottom half in terms of strength, I can be considered an immortal now,” Senior Brother Hu said with a smile.
Many of the people in front of them clenched their fists, while a fla of hope lit up in their eyes.
Seeing that they got more confident, Senior Brother Hu nodded in satisfaction, “The entrance test for the outer sect is a lot simpler than the one for the inner sect. You see that cave? After you enter, just take out two strands of the herbs you now see in my hands.”
With that, a bright red herb with four leaves appeared in Senior Brother Hu’s hands, “This herb normally grows near the hole of a scale snake. Scale snakes aren’t poisonous nor particularly strong. They don’t even count as yaos, so you don’t have to worry about your safety.
As the people in front of him nodded, Senior Brother Hu smiled, “I’ll wait here for you guys to co out. You pass the outer sect entrance test as long as you can bring two strands of this herb. I’ll bring you all into the temple later. Now, put this spiritual jade tablet away safely. When you get in danger, cracking it will teleport to your side, but it also ans that you failed the mission. Understand?”
“Understood!” everyone answered together.
“Then go in. Good luck.”
1. Fugui (富贵) ans wealth.
