Chapter 63: Cultivating Immortality Is No Light Breeze and Calm Waters—It Is Seizing Destiny from the Heavens

Before the Taxian Courtyard, many young masters from noble houses and sons of marquises and dukes were all waiting for the examination.

Fang Yu was also waiting.

He stood quietly, with an air of natural poise.

From time to time, voices drifted over.

"We're entering the Yuhua Sect and can't even bring a single servant. If we live here from now on, does that mean we'll have to do everything ourselves—cooking, washing clothes? How are we supposed to cultivate like that?"

A wealthy young master in brocade clothes, holding a purple folding fan, fanned himself as he spoke.

"Hmph, the Yuhuaxian Sect—that's a Shenxianmen Sect. Once you're enrolled, every meal is arranged by the sect. The sect even provides Dust-Repelling Talismans, Body-Cleansing Talismans, and Soul Fire Talismans. Who would wash their own clothes or bathe themselves?"

Another figure spoke up, dressed in bright yellow like an Imperial Prince of some kingdom. "The food at the Yuhua Sect is all top-grade spiritual medicine, better even than the imperial palace's fare—and that's just the treatment for outer disciples. If you become an inner disciple, the benefits are even greater. If you find it so unbearable without servants attending you, you can withdraw right now."

"Wait until you've passed the outer disciple examination before worrying about such things. The Yuhua Sect's outer examination isn't that easy. Are you confident you can defeat those Divine Power Puppets?"

Another woman spoke, her gaze sweeping disdainfully over the two men.

"Princess Mo Yue, it seems you're confident you can defeat the Divine Power Puppets and pass the examination?"

"Of course."

"Those Divine Power Puppets are rumored to possess boundless strength, immunity to fire and water, inexhaustible stamina, and invulnerability to blades and spears. They're several times more fearsome than Divine Power experts of the same level. Don't think that just because some of you have advanced to the Divine Power Realm, you can pass the examination—that's wishful thinking. I hope none of you are killed or wounded by the Divine Power Puppets."

One distinguished disciple after another spoke up, describing the terror of the Divine Power Puppets.

But for Fang Yu, mere Divine Power Puppets were no problem at all.

His current cultivation base was the 8th Stage of Physical Body, Divine Valor Realm. These days he was comprehending the 9th Stage of Physical Body realm, and he possessed a magic treasure comparable to a spiritual artifact. Dealing with mere Divine Power Puppets was nothing to him.

So he stood there utterly composed, even finding time to swallow an Essence Yuan Pill to continue boosting his strength.

Clang!

Just then, the two great doors of the Taxian Courtyard slowly swung open. Two young Daoists in Water-Fire Daoist robes stepped out from within and announced in loud voices: "Today's outer examination now begins. All of you, come in."

Immediately, everyone filed in one after another.

The moment they crossed the threshold of the Taxian Courtyard, every person felt a surge of spirit and seemed transformed, as if they had truly stepped onto the path of immortality.

Fang Yu also stepped into the Taxian Courtyard, moving forward among the crowd of disciples until he reached a great hall.

This great hall measured three thousand paces in both length and width and could hold ten thousand people. Standing within it, one felt utterly insignificant. Especially at the deepest end of the hall, there was a Qihei Sect portal, from which seemed to emanate an aura of blood and cruelty.

The entire great hall resembled a hall for sealing a demonic fiend.

Clomp, clomp, clomp.
