Chapter 2057: Real or Fake?

This little fatty's round, plump figure and lovably simple smile made him seem full of foolish, clumsy vigor at a glance.

Never mind whether he can set foot on that mysterious path of cultivation; even his ordinary daily life would probably be hard for him to manage on his own.

However, when Xu Jie said those words, the woman standing nearby instantly showed displeasure and immediately raised her voice to shout.

"Hey, how can you talk like that? What's wrong with my son? You're just an obscure little sect, yet you dare to look down on people."

Faced with the woman's shrewish shouting, Xu Jie's face darkened instantly, his brows knit tight, and he angrily barked.

"Get lost."

Before his words even faded, he swung his arm, and a strong force shoved the woman out the door.

This woman simply treated their Dao One Immortal Sect like a trash can for collecting refuse.

How could such a fool even dream of being accepted into their Dao One Immortal Sect?

Time passed minute by minute, from morning until noon, with no one else coming to visit.

Having thought today would be as quiet and deserted as usual, it was unexpectedly, in the afternoon, that the wandering cultivators who had gone out to promote recruitment began to return one after another, bringing people with them.

The people they brought looked quite normal, of suitable age—all were young newcomers who had just entered the martial world and were fresh out of their villages.

But as soon as these young cultivators arrived, the first question they asked was.

"Are those conditions you mentioned really true? Could it be that you're just trying to fool us?"

Someone in the crowd couldn't help but ask loudly.

"Yeah, if you're just tricking us into coming to fill numbers, that's going too far."

Another person chimed in agreement.

These energetic, vibrant young people were all drawn here by the deeply appealing disciple benefits advertised by the Dao One Immortal Sect.

Know that this is the benefit standard personally raised by Hong Zun; just hearing it makes one's heart race, as if a broad road to a bright future lay before one's eyes.

Moreover, it is said that this treatment, even compared to famous, deep-rooted great sects, is in no way inferior.

Thus, these young cultivators harboring dreams have flocked here like a tide, hoping to seize this rare opportunity.

Therefore, at this moment, everyone's attention naturally focuses on the authenticity of the disciple benefits.

After all, no one wants to come full of hope only to find it all an empty illusion.

Hearing the crowd's doubts, Xu Jie's face instantly broke into a bright smile, and he spoke confidently with a wide grin.

"Rest assured, everyone; I can guarantee that everything I said is absolutely true and reliable—our Dao One Immortal Sect is a proper, upright great sect; how could we possibly deceive anyone?"

"Huh???"

As soon as Xu Jie finished speaking, everyone present couldn't help but stare in shock.

Before this, most of them had never even heard the name Dao One Immortal Sect, let alone associate it with a so-called great sect.

Nevertheless, despite their doubts, upon seeing Xu Jie give such a firm, affirmative answer, they all breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

As long as those enticing disciple benefits are truly genuine, other aspects seem less important.

Thinking this, people's previously tense nerves gradually relaxed, and they began to roll up their sleeves, preparing for the upcoming simple test.

The so-called test is merely a series of evaluations of aptitude and foundation.

Know that if someone lacks even the most basic cultivation talent, there's no need for them to participate in the enticing entry sect examination at all,

because doing so would merely waste their precious time and energy.

After a round of testing that seemed simple yet crucial, the results quickly appeared before everyone's eyes.

Only a handful were eliminated on the spot, while the remaining fortunate ones temporarily passed this first round of screening and could stay where they were, awaiting further arrangements.

However, it was somewhat disappointing that among this group there was no stunningly talented genius to stand out, let alone the so-called Heavenly Pride, and there was not even a trace of it to be found.

Everyone's qualifications were basically just ordinary.

With such mediocre qualifications, even if one were fortunate enough to successfully join the Dao One Immortal Sect, their status would likely be limited to that of an Outer Door Disciple.

However, for Xu Jie and the others, this wasn't something they particularly cared about.

After all, things had only just begun; yesterday, not a single person had shown up here.

By comparison, achieving such noticeable progress today is already quite remarkable.

Therefore, Hong Zun unhesitatingly gave each of those allowed to stay a fine token, and informed them in detail that they must go to the Dao One Immortal Sect at the appointed time to undergo the formal entry sect examination.

Just as everyone happily received their tokens, they suddenly heard that the Dao One Immortal Sect was actually located in the mysterious, boundless Wuji Shanmai, and everyone couldn't help but stare.

For a moment, various doubts arose: which normal sect would set its mountain gate in such a perilous, unknown-filled Wuji Shanmai?

This is practically a joke, for the Wuji Shanmai is certainly no ordinary place.

There, it is entirely a playground where all kinds of demon beasts and immortal beasts roam freely; for cultivators who enter this region, it is fraught with danger and peril at every turn.

A slight misstep could easily make one become a meal for those ferocious demon beasts, ending in a tragic fate with not even a bone left.

But right now, we haven't even reached the sect yet, and yet we inexplicably feel that something is off.

In the crowd, the young cultivators exchanged glances, all feeling that the Dao One Immortal Sect had a problem.

To build a mountain gate in the Wuji Shanmai—isn't that crazy?

Who knows if the demon beasts and immortal beasts in the Wuji Shanmai are incredibly ferocious?

Moreover, beast tides often erupt there, which is why the only human settlement on the outskirts of the Wuji Shanmai is Wuji Xiancheng.

Because ordinary cities simply cannot withstand the beast tides of the Wuji Shanmai; even if they barely hold out once, what about the next time?
