Chapter 621

Before Zhang Taixuan, Lingxi's strength was feeble.

But in the Northern Dipper, her strength was by no means weak among the new generation—a Dao-Slaying King, enough to rank among the Heaven's Favorites.

As the news of Zhang Taixuan founding a sect spread, the entire Northern Dipper instantly boiled over.

"The Great Sage Tai Xuan is going to found a sect—I must join it."

"The Great Sage Tai Xuan is absolutely the strongest Great Sage of all time; he must have grasped the secret of immortality. Him founding a sect—this is simply a pie falling from the sky!"

"Let's go, we'll head to the Tai Xuan Sect first!"

In fact, it wasn't just the Northern Dipper.

The great clans in the starry sky, who had been watching Lingxi's movements, also received the news.

The Taiyu Star Domain.

The Xiao Clan's ancestral land.

"Ancestor, should we send the clan's geniuses to the Northern Dipper to take him as master?"

"Is it that very Tai Xuan Saint King who slew an Emperor while still a Saint King, founding a sect?"

"Yes, Ancestor. He should now be the Great Sage Tai Xuan!"

"If that's the case, what are we waiting for? Call the clan's Heaven's Favorites out from the Divine Spring—the Great Sage Tai Xuan's inheritance is a heaven-sent opportunity. Perhaps we won't need to wait for the timing of immortality to ascend with Daoist Tai Xuan! If not for my advanced age, I too would burst out of the Divine Spring and join the Tai Xuan Sect."

"Alas, what a pity."

Besides the Xiao Clan, other great clans also sprang into action; many Heaven's Favorites disciples broke through the Divine Spring in this era, hoping to glimpse the mysteries of the immortal Dao.

To be able to slay a Saint while still a Saint King—if this isn't an immortal Dao inheritance, what is?

Tai Xuan founding a sect—this clearly meant spreading the immortal Dao widely.

This was an opportunity for all the clans of the universe.

When the day of founding the sect arrived, millions had already gathered outside the Tai Xuan Sect.

These people were not only of the human race, but also ancient clans, the Heavenly Serpent race, the Fishman race, and others.

Besides the cultivators on the Northern Dipper, those in the universe who could reach the Tai Xuan Sect were mostly great clans, whose clans had at least once produced beings above Great Sage.

After all, ordinary small clans had no ability to cross star domains and reach the Northern Dipper in a short time.

It could be said that every clan here counted as elite.

Outsiders gathered and built a temporary city, with a stream of people like a loom, commerce flourishing, bustling beyond compare.

"Sister Xiao Yan, can we be chosen?"

In a teahouse in the city, an unusually handsome youth looked toward a girl of Duanzhuang bearing and powerful presence.

The girl was dressed all in black, her figure graceful, yet there was little emotion between her brows—utterly cold.

"The Tai Xuan Sect was founded by the Great Sage Tai Xuan; all the clans of the universe are fighting for the chance to enter the sect, and our Xiao Clan holds no advantage." A trace of worry also flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes. "Everyone do their best, and leave it to fate."

"That's true too. So many people have come, and we don't know how many disciples the Tai Xuan Sect will take—those eliminated should be quite a few."

This was actually not only the Xiao Clan's worry, but also that of the other great clans.

Ding ding ding!

As the bell rang three times, the crowd's expressions tightened; they immediately rose, rode rainbows, and headed toward the location of the Tai Xuan Sect.

"The sect is opening—hurry and seize the opportunity!"

"In terms of speed, who is faster than my Jin Peng clan?"

"The Jin Peng clan? Heh, does my Void Family look like easy prey!"

In an instant, streams of light filled the sky like clouds; in the blink of an eye, a sea of people had gathered beneath Mount Tai Xuan.

Lingxi stood at the peak of the mountains, cupped her hands and bowed toward the heavens.

"Lingxi of the Radiant Clan, by the command of my Lord, today founds a sect in the Northern Dipper. My Lord, do you have any instructions?"

"Granted!"

The next moment, a figure appeared in the void.

He stood in the void, yet gave one the feeling of not existing; upon closer look, he seemed as if he had walked out of myth, carrying an ethereal, immortal-like temperament.

"Greetings, my Lord."

Zhang Taixuan nodded, looked toward the crowd, divined the heavenly secrets, then said: "Today, founding the sect, we will only take three thousand disciples. All those of good character, regardless of race, may enter my gates."

"As for the immortal opportunity you are concerned about, naturally there is one. The heavenly secrets reveal that forty-nine shall achieve immortality in this era, all to be selected from among my disciples."

As for why it was forty-nine, of course it was because this realm of heaven and earth only permitted him to take away forty-nine geniuses.

This was the result of divining the heavenly secrets.

"Immortality?"

"Forty-nine slots for immortality? So many!"

Through the ages, how many Great Emperors pursued immortality, leaving behind many regrets.

Now, immortality was laid before their eyes—forty-nine slots for immortality.

This was simply an unexpected joy.

"May I ask Daoist Tai Xuan, whether those within the Forbidden Zone may also join the Tai Xuan Sect?" Suddenly, a gentle voice rang out from the void, and a blue-haired man of burly build and domineering bearing stepped forward.

"It's the Ancient Emperor Qilin—no one expected that even an Ancient Emperor would appear for the Great Sage Tai Xuan's sect founding!"

"Even Ancient Emperors are emerging to compete for immortality slots—I… I possess heaven-defying talent and the aptitude for immortality—am I to die halfway?"

"How unwilling I am. How can we compete with Ancient Emperors and Heavenly Venerables!"
