After strolling around the city, Hongyue, who followed Ye Zhangqing here, was already dazzled.

Meanwhile, as the group was leisurely strolling through the city, a jade‑white archway suddenly appeared ahead.

=> But while the group was leisurely strolling through the city, suddenly a jade-white archway appeared ahead.

Between the two pillars a white light curtain was connected.

=> Between the two pillars a white light curtain was connected.

This is the entrance to a cave dwelling.

=> This is the entrance to a Dong Fu.

"Tian brother, what is this?"

=> "Tian brother, what is this?"

"Oh, this is the Dengtian Terrace that my Tian family set up."

=> "Oh, this is the Dengtian Tai that my Heavenly Family set up."

"The Dengtian Terrace?"

=> "Dengtian Tai?"

"Yes, it's used for recruiting talent for the family."

=> "Hmm, it's used for the family to recruit talent."

The Tian family's territory is vast, and the number of industries under its control is countless, as numerous as the hairs on an ox.

=> The Heavenly Family's territory is so vast, the industries under its banner are countless, as numerous as the hairs on an ox.

With such a vast domain and so many industries, relying solely on the Tian family members themselves would definitely be insufficient to manage them all.

=> With such a vast territory and so many industries, relying solely on the Heavenly Family's own people would definitely be insufficient.

Moreover, the Tian family members are primarily concerned with their own cultivation; unless someone's talent is so low that the family outright discards them, they rarely go to manage any family industry elsewhere.

=> Moreover, the Heavenly Family's members are actually more concerned with their own cultivation; unless their talent is so low that the family directly abandons them, they rarely go to manage any family industry somewhere.

After all, only strength is the true way; without it, everything is empty.

=> After all, only strength is the true way; without strength, everything is empty.

Furthermore, the Tian family is a family-run force, unlike a sect that needs to establish a mountain and recruit disciples.

Therefore, the Tian family established the Dengtian Platform, which recruits talent year-round.

Anyone who arrives at Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng can enter the Dengtian Platform.

Passing any of these tests grants a chance to join the Tian family and become one of its members.

Of course, compared to the Tian family members, they are incomparable, essentially serving as servants or maids.

Only truly exceptional individuals can receive the treatment accorded to offerings.

Even if one is merely a servant or maid, gaining entry to the Tian family represents a heaven-defying, fate-changing opportunity for many loose cultivators.

=> But even if one is merely a servant or maid, once they can become affiliated with the Heavenly Family, for many wandering cultivators it is nothing less than a heaven-defying chance to change their fate.

After all, the Tian family's treatment of servants and maids is hardly inferior to that of major sect disciples, given their immense wealth and grandeur.

=> After all, the treatment the Heavenly Family gives to its servants and maids is not lacking at all compared to disciples of major sects—who let them be so rich and powerful?

Thus, the Dengtian Platform is extremely popular, basically always packed.

=> Therefore, the Dengtian Tai can be said to be extremely popular, basically always in a state of being overcrowded.

At the entrance's light gate, a team of Tian family experts can still be seen standing guard.

Those wishing to enter must first register and wait in line, entering only when their turn arrives.

As Tianlin was introducing the Dengtian Platform to Ye Zhangqing, the originally white light gate gradually turned a pale gold.

"Huh..........."

=> "What's wrong, Tian brother?"

Seeing Tianlin utter a soft 'eh', Ye Zhangqing asked, and upon hearing it, Tianlin replied honestly.

=> Seeing Tianlin let out a soft "eh", Ye Zhangqing asked; upon hearing, Tianlin answered truthfully.

The change in the light gate's color shows that someone among those being tested inside has reached the excellent level.

=> "The change in the light gate's color shows that among those undergoing the trial inside, someone has reached the excellent tier."

A Tian family steward appeared in person, showing that the individual who caused the pale-gold light—as Tianlin said—has attracted the Tian family's attention.

=> A Heavenly Family steward appearing in person shows that the person who caused the pale gold light, as Tianlin said, has drawn the Heavenly Family's attention.

=> Of course, Tianlin certainly didn't intend to show himself; after all, this minor matter is far from enough to disturb him in his position as junior clan chief.

Among the Tian family's many offerings, quite a few can trigger the pale-gold light.

=> Among the many offerings of the Heavenly Family, those capable of eliciting the pale gold light are not few.

At most, it merely prompts the Tian family to proactively extend an olive branch, and upon joining, one immediately receives offering-level treatment.

Such individuals are not rare in the Tian family; whether you call them important or not, they are indeed significant—or not.

=> Such people are not few in the Heavenly Family; saying they are important, they are important; saying they are not important, they are not important.

After a short while, a youth emerged from the light gate.

=> After a brief moment, a youth walked out from within the light gate.

This is the very individual who just produced that pale-gold light; though young and plain in appearance, his eyes are extraordinarily sharp.

=> This person is precisely the one who just caused that pale gold light; although he looks young and his appearance is ordinary, his eyes are extremely sharp.

revealing a sharp, fierce blade aura.

Although it's not bad, it also gives a feeling of having one's sharpness fully exposed.

However, that Heavenly Family steward didn't mind these things; seeing someone come out, he went forward to greet them, saying with a smile.

Young friend, your talent is extraordinary; being able to achieve first-class results, my Heavenly Family is willing to offer you the position of offering.

The steward didn't think much and spoke directly.

After all, he entered the Ascending Heaven Platform of his own accord, which clearly shows his intention to join the Heavenly Family; now that he has achieved first-class results, the Heavenly Family has offered a high price, and this is a case of immediate agreement.

However, the youth's answer left the steward stunned.

He merely gave the Heavenly Family steward a contemptuous glance, then let out a cold snort while looking down from a height.

Hmph, who said I want to join the Heavenly Family?

Young friend, you don't wish to join the Heavenly Family?

Never even considered it.

Then why did you enter the Ascending Heaven Platform?

What, is there a rule that entering the Ascending Heaven Platform means one must join your Heavenly Family? Your Heavenly Family is being a bit overbearing, isn't it?

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Family steward's face darkened, but he did not flare up; he merely spoke in an ice-cold voice.

Indeed, there is no such rule; I never said I would force you to join my Heavenly Family, and my Heavenly Family never lacks talent—since you have no intention, do as you please.

Having said that, the Heavenly Family steward turned to leave, but after taking just a couple steps, a cold shout from the youth came from behind.

Stop.
