Chapter 629: Heaven-Gifted Prides Emerge, Ye Ximing Finally Arrives at Yunhai Province City

~15 min read 2,876 words

Just when Ye Xuanyun was worried about Ye Ximing's safety.

Millions of miles away from Yunhai Province City, Ye Ximing's rapidly flying body stopped abruptly, looking at the direction of Yunhai Province City with some helplessness:

"At this time, the recruitment ceremony of the Xuantian Sect should have already begun, right?"

"Sigh, the time delayed in the Golden Core cave dwelling was simply too much. It seems I won't be able to catch up with this grand event."

"I don't know how Grandfather Xuanyun is doing now. He should have already arrived at Yunhai Province City, right?"

Shaking his head, Ye Ximing continued to fly towards the direction of Yunhai Province City.

Now the stability of the Di Xuan Realm heaven and earth has greatly increased. Except for the powerhouses in the Void Penetration Realm and Void Meditation Realm who can no longer break the space and enter the void to travel.

Even the flight speed of middle and low-level cultivators like Ye Ximing has greatly decreased.

Therefore, in the situation where the teleportation arrays within the major provinces cannot be used, the movement of cultivators between the various counties and prefectures within each major province has also begun to become very difficult and time-consuming.

Otherwise, with Ye Ximing's current Purple Mansion Realm cultivation base, he wouldn't have been so far away from Yunhai Province City, the center of Yunhai Province, after flying continuously for several years.

At the same time.

Just when the recruitment ceremony within the Xuantian Sect was being held in full swing.

The Tianyuan Sect and the Huangfu family in the Eastern Region, as well as other large and small forces in the Eastern Region, also began grand recruitment ceremonies.

It was just that among the three major hegemon-level forces in the Eastern Region, compared to the recruitment ceremonies of the Xuantian Sect and the Tianyuan Sect, the scale of the recruitment ceremony held by the Huangfu family was much smaller.

But even so, the recruitment ceremony held by the Huangfu family was still stronger in momentum and scale than the recruitment ceremonies held by other forces in the Eastern Region.

Because it was held at the same time as the three major hegemon-level forces.

So the number of people who came to the recruitment ceremonies held by other large and small forces in the Eastern Region was even much less than usual.

Besides the Eastern Region.

In the Southern Region, Western Region, Northern Region, Central Region of the Di Xuan Realm, and even the four regions outside the Di Xuan Realm.

Many hegemon-level forces and other large and small forces almost all held grand recruitment ceremonies at the same time according to the plan agreed upon in advance.

Even Dongxuan City under Ye Qingxuan's command was no exception, responding to the call of the Eastern Extreme Region Branch Alliance on the surface, and held a recruitment competition for the new generation of Star Fall Continent in Star Fall Continent in advance.

It can be said that the recruitment ceremony held jointly by the Di Xuan Realm this time moved the minds of most cultivators in the Di Xuan Realm.

As long as the talent of the new generation of cultivators is not too bad, and they do not aim too high and choose to participate in the assessment of the recruitment ceremony held by forces with high thresholds.

Then it is actually not difficult for most new generation cultivators to want to join a force to cultivate.

As time passed day by day, the recruitment ceremonies held by the major forces in the Di Xuan Realm were also nearing their end.

Within the Xuantian Sect, Liu Taian observed the performance of everyone participating in the assessment through spiritual sense in the formation space, and said with some surprise: "I didn't expect that there would be so many people with good talent in this recruitment ceremony? Even those with eleven-element spiritual root talent are as many as twelve? And three people's talent is even the same as mine, possessing twelve-element spiritual roots?"

Remembering the gains of the previous recruitment ceremonies of the Xuantian Sect, Liu Taian said with some doubt: "Strange, it seems that more and more geniuses have appeared in the Di Xuan Realm over the years. I don't know if this change is normal?"

One must know that if it were a thousand years ago, it would have been quite good for the Xuantian Sect's once-in-a-century recruitment ceremony to appear one disciple with eleven-element spiritual root talent.

Like him, a heaven-gifted pride with twelve-element spiritual root talent, it would have been quite good for one to appear in the Xuantian Sect's recruitment ceremony in thousands, or even tens of thousands of years.

Otherwise, his master Cen Zhe would not have so easily taken him as a disciple back then.

And now, twelve heaven-gifted prides with eleven-element spiritual root talent appeared at once, and three peerless heaven-gifted prides with twelve-element spiritual root talent appeared at once.

In just a short thousand years, not only has the proportion of the new generation of humans in the Di Xuan Realm born with spiritual roots become higher and higher, but even the number and quality of geniuses appearing are skyrocketing.

"Forget it, anyway, the more geniuses we take in and the better the quality, the better it is for our Xuantian Sect."

Shaking his head slightly, Liu Taian gathered his spiritual sense's attention on two men and one woman in the formation space, and said with some hesitation: "Master asked me to preside over this recruitment ceremony, and also has the meaning of letting me show my face in the Xuantian Sect and take in a few more disciples."

"Now that three heaven-gifted prides with twelve-element spiritual roots have appeared at once, should I follow Master's meaning and take all three of them under my sect?"

But as soon as Liu Taian thought of his eccentric disciple Luo Ling'er, he hesitated again: "Taking in one disciple is already so troublesome, now taking in three at once, is it..."

Just as Liu Taian was hesitating, two shadows appeared beside him one after another.

Detecting the appearance of two shadows beside him, Liu Taian was startled first, and after seeing who it was, Liu Taian instantly breathed a sigh of relief and bowed respectfully:

"Taian pays respects to the two Supreme Elders."

The people who came were the spiritual sense incarnations of the two Supreme Elders of the Xuantian Sect, Yao Qiudao and Tong Yanye.

"No need for formalities."

Yao Qiudao examined Liu Taian and nodded slightly:

"Not bad, you kid are not far from the Tribulation Crossing Realm. When are you prepared to go into seclusion to seek a breakthrough?"

Hearing Yao Qiudao's words, Liu Taian looked calm and said without smiling:

"Returning to the Supreme Elder, Master asked me to start going into seclusion to break through to the Tribulation Crossing Realm after presiding over the sect's recruitment ceremony this time."

As he spoke, Liu Taian looked at the spiritual sense incarnations of Yao Qiudao and Tong Yanye who had suddenly appeared, and asked with some doubt: "I don't know why the two Supreme Elders suddenly appeared, what is the matter?"

Facing Liu Taian's inquiry, Tong Yanye stroked his beard, laughed, and said:

"The two of us want to take one personal disciple each from the disciples who are about to enter this time. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Liu can make it convenient?"

Hearing this, Liu Taian did not hesitate and nodded directly:

"Since the two Supreme Elders intend to take disciples, it is also a good thing for those two junior brothers or junior sisters, so Taian naturally has no objections."

Although according to the normal process, it is necessary to wait until all disciples pass the entry assessment before it is the link of assigning the disciples' destinations or sect elders coming forward to take disciples.

But this is just a normal process, and there is no written regulation that it must be strictly followed according to this process.

Elders who usually preside over the Xuantian Sect's recruitment ceremony also take the lead to take the disciples they fancy under their sect when they discover good seedlings during the assessment.

Moreover, who made the ones wanting to take disciples now the two Supreme Elders? Liu Taian naturally would not be stupid enough to refuse.

Although he is usually a bit rigid and does things by the book, this does not mean he is stupid and does not know how to be flexible in any situation.

Besides, even if the two Supreme Elders did not get his consent and directly took away the disciples they fancied.

Then he would have nothing he could do.

That Supreme Elders Yao Qiudao and Tong Yanye could inquire of Liu Taian in advance was already giving Liu Taian a lot of face.

In this situation, Liu Taian naturally would not refuse Yao Qiudao and Tong Yanye and offend the two Supreme Elders of the sect at the same time. As Mahayana realm powerhouses of the Xuantian Sect, Yao Qiudao and Tong Yanye both have certain control permissions over the Xuantian Sect's town-sect formation, so they sensed that there were peerless heaven-gifted prides in the assessment space evolved by the formation, and had the idea of appearing to take disciples.

There may be major changes in the future situation, and now that peerless heaven-gifted prides with talent not inferior to Liu Taian have appeared, they naturally also want to leave their own lineage inheritance in the Xuantian Sect to continue to guard the Xuantian Sect on their behalf in the future.

Seeing that Liu Taian had no objections, Yao Qiudao and Tong Yanye showed satisfied expressions and nodded in unison: "Good, Fellow Daoist Liu, thank you for this!"

After speaking, the spiritual sense incarnations of Yao Qiudao and Tong Yanye began to dissipate, and at the same time, the two disciples who were about to complete the assessment in the formation space also left.

Sensing the two people taken away by Yao Qiudao and Tong Yanye in the formation space, Liu Taian smiled bitterly:

"Alright, no need to hesitate now, only one is left."

Looking at the delicate young man still left in the formation space, Liu Taian comforted himself: "This is also good, taking in three at once, I don't have that much energy to pay attention to their cultivation, taking in one is just right."

"When I go into seclusion to break through to the Tribulation Crossing Realm at that time, I can let Ling'er take care of her little junior brother first."

After making up his mind, Liu Taian's heart moved, and a spiritual sense incarnation instantly appeared in front of the delicate young man he had been paying attention to in the formation space, carrying his hands on his back and saying:

"I am the personal disciple of the Xuantian Sect Sect Master, Xuantian Sect Elder·Liu Taian, are you willing to take me as your master?"

Hearing this, the delicate young man who originally had a look of vigilance hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to bow deeply to Liu Taian and speak:

"Disciple Zhong Shenxiu, pays respects to Master!"

Time passed.

The recruitment ceremonies held in various places in the Di Xuan Realm had begun to end one after another.

And one day after Liu Taian took in Zhong Shenxiu, the recruitment ceremony of the Xuantian Sect also ended successfully.

Because this time, besides other aspects of the assessment, the Xuantian Sect lowered the thresholds for age, cultivation base, and talent quite a bit.

So in this recruitment ceremony, just the recruitment ceremony held outside the mountain gate of the Xuantian Sect alone recruited more than 30 million new disciples.

However, the sect station of the Xuantian Sect occupied a whole province of Xuan Province.

Let alone recruiting 30 million new disciples at once, even if this number were increased tenfold or hundredfold.

The Xuantian Mountain Range where the Xuantian Sect is located could casually divide an area to settle the newly recruited disciples, and basically, there would be more than enough space everywhere.

Compared to talent, actually the requirement for character in the Xuantian Sect's assessment is higher.

Otherwise, with the thresholds for age, cultivation base, and talent all lowered in this recruitment ceremony, it wouldn't have only recruited 30-plus million new disciples.

Of course, these 30-plus million new disciples did not include the disciples recruited in the provincial cities of the other 20 major provinces ruled by the Xuantian Sect.

Yunhai Province.

When the recruitment ceremony in Yunhai Province City ended.

A powerhouse at the peak of the Void Penetration Realm sitting in Yunhai Province City for the Xuantian Sect personally brought more than 100,000 disciples who had passed the preliminary assessment and used the cross-province array in Yunhai Province City to teleport towards the direction of the Xuantian Sect.

Looking at the figures disappearing in the teleportation square in the center of Yunhai Province City, Liu Xuanyun became even more impatient:

"Ming'er, where exactly are you? The recruitment ceremony of the Xuantian Sect has already ended, why haven't you appeared?"

Bearing the torment in his heart, Liu Xuanyun continued to wait in Yunhai Province City for another three months.

Seeing that Ye Ximing never arrived, Liu Xuanyun could only leave Yunhai Province City in a dejected manner and fly towards the direction of Ye Family Village.

And one month after Liu Xuanyun left.

Because he needed time to recover his spiritual power, Ye Ximing, who stopped and went on the way, finally arrived in the vicinity of Yunhai Province City.

The first thing after arriving in the vicinity of Yunhai Province City, Ye Ximing was to take out his low-grade sound transmission talisman to contact Ye Xuanyun.

After the message was sent out, seeing no response from Ye Xuanyun for a long time, Ye Ximing felt a bit nervous in his heart:

"Grandfather Xuanyun is not in the vicinity of Yunhai Province City? Could it be... no, impossible, Grandfather Xuanyun will not be okay."

"It should be that Grandfather Xuanyun saw that I hadn't arrived at Yunhai Province City after the recruitment ceremony of the Xuantian Sect ended, so he thought something had happened to me, and returned to Ye Family Village."

"Yes, it must be like this."

Thinking of this, Ye Ximing's feeling of unease was slightly relieved; in the current situation, he could only try not to think in the bad direction.

After his mind stabilized, Ye Ximing raised his head to look at Yunhai Province City, which was like a country not far away, and thought to himself: "Now that Grandfather Xuanyun has left Yunhai Province City, should I return to Ye Family Village to report safety first, or go to the Xuantian Sect first?"

If he goes to the Xuantian Sect, he has two ways.

The first way is to enter Yunhai Province City and find the detection point set up by the Xuantian Sect in Yunhai Province City.

After actively exposing his talent, he would be brought to the Xuantian Sect by the cultivators left by the Xuantian Sect in Yunhai Province City and directly become a disciple of the Xuantian Sect.

At that time, he would naturally be able to enter the interior of the Xuantian Sect to find his Ye family's ancestor in the Xuantian Sect, Ye Qingxuan.

The second way is for him to teleport step by step through the teleportation array to Xuan Province where the Xuantian Sect is located, and then enter the Xuantian Sect with the Ye family's head token to find his Ye family's ancestor, Ye Qingxuan.

"Forget it, let's go to the Xuantian Sect first!"

After pondering for a moment, Ye Ximing finally decided to go to the Xuantian Sect first.

Anyway, he had already arrived at Yunhai Province City, and it wouldn't take much time to go to the Xuantian Sect through the cross-province teleportation array.

Returning to Ye Family Village now would just be a waste of time.

It wouldn't take much time to return to Ye Family Village after going to the Xuantian Sect.

"As for whether to join the Xuantian Sect directly through the detection point in Yunhai Province City, for the sake of caution, I'd better go to the Xuantian Sect to find my Ye family ancestor and listen to the ancestor's advice first!"

With a decision in his heart, Ye Ximing instantly flew towards Yunhai Province City not far away.

After entering Yunhai Province City, he went straight to the central teleportation square of Yunhai Province City.

Fortunately, after the small teleportation arrays in the Di Xuan Realm failed, Yunhai Province City was no longer forbidden to air, and cultivators could fly freely.

So it only took less than half an hour, and Ye Ximing had already arrived at the central teleportation square of Yunhai Province City.

Just as he was about to step into the teleportation area corresponding to the cross-province teleportation array of Xuan Province, he was suddenly stopped by a cultivator stationed here: "Hey, hey, this fellow daoist, wait a moment, cross-province teleportation requires paying ten medium-grade spirit stones."
