Chapter 363: Starting with a Beast, Ten Years in a Single Night
"Ye Bai, these two Peak Masters are cultivators at the Second Step First Stage!"
"Not just them; I just used some methods and discovered that within this Tianren Sect, the strongest are only cultivators at the Second Step First Stage!"
Wensheng's voice suddenly rang out by Ye Bai's ear!
Because Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao had to disguise themselves as ordinary people, they had never released their Mental Power to investigate, so they did not know the specific strength of the cultivators within the Tianren Sect.
And for a sect, a sect situated within the Demonic Cultivator Realm, is it reasonable for the strongest to only be a Ninth Grade Martial Emperor?
If they truly only had this much strength, I fear that before the next day arrived, countless demonic cultivators would come knocking to extort benefits, and if they were in a bad mood, they might even destroy the entire Tianren Sect...
Wensheng's words, in any case, made Ye Bai increasingly feel that this sect had massive problems! It was hiding secrets they could not yet detect!
And the genius girl who had just been frantically fought over by the two Peak Masters, named Huzi, was precisely one of the youths who had come to the Tianren Sect together with Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao.
After Huzi, it was exactly Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao's turn to undergo the Martial Arts Talent test.
"Brother Bai, what do you say?"
"Should I use some methods to make our talent test results look terrible?"
"If our test results are at the bottom, we might be able to leave the Tianren Sect."
Situ Chengdao transmitted his voice.
Although the Tianren Sect cultivators had roughly tested the youths' talents before bringing them back, it was not precise.
There had been a few before; after this round of testing, the youths who were deemed to have no talent at all—among whom were youths who had traveled with Ye Bai and the other—were now standing not far from Huzi.
The treatment they enjoyed was completely different from the other youths.
Huzi, having ultimately joined the Sword Peak, was served with all sorts of good food and drink.
The others also had Tianren Sect cultivators speaking in front of them.
As for the few youths without talent, no one paid them any mind, and they could only stand there with disappointed expressions.
It was indeed very likely that after this stage ended, they would be sent out of the Tianren Sect.
"Methods must indeed be used, but we can neither be as eye-catching as Huzi, nor can we truly be at the bottom."
Ye Bai looked around, thought for a moment, and denied Situ Chengdao's proposal.
"Although this sect is full of strangeness everywhere, still, as the saying goes, since we're here, we're here."
"And this is a demonic sect after all; heaven knows if those without talent will really be sent away from the Tianren Sect..."
Situ Chengdao heard this and felt it made sense, "It is I who was impatient; now we should indeed prioritize stability."
Ultimately, Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao's talent tests were both passed, and they were "just right" in the middle of the pack, neither being fought over by a Peak Master like Huzi, nor being looked down upon by others.
And the peak the two of them ultimately joined, under Situ Chengdao's maneuvering, was also "coincidentally" the same one: the Beast Taming Peak, one of the seven peaks.
The Peak Master of the Beast Taming Peak was a charming young woman.
"You all, come with me."
Once the stage had completely ended, this young woman came before Ye Bai and the other new disciples with a gentle smile on her face.
"P-Peak Master..." a youth said nervously.
"Why call me Peak Master? Unless it's a very serious occasion, just call me Sister Shaoyao."
"Since you have entered my Beast Taming Peak, from now on we are a family; there is no need to be so distant."
The young woman named Shaoyao said, showing no airs at all.
It made those youths who were joining the Beast Taming Peak exclaim that they were truly lucky to have come to the Beast Taming Peak; the Peak Master was actually so easy to talk to, and their future days would be promising.
Moreover, when Shaoyao led everyone away to the Beast Taming Peak, the first thing she did was to issue each disciple a set of Tianren Sect standard uniforms, and at the same time, arrange an Alien Beast for each person.
To put it plainly, an Alien Beast is a lower-class life form of the Beast Race; the difference is that the Alien Beasts provided by the Beast Taming Peak can have a Master-Servant Contract signed with them.
Once the contract is successfully signed, that Alien Beast will unconditionally obey its master's orders from then on, serving as an extremely powerful combat force aside from the cultivator themselves.
"This is great, we have Alien Beasts!"
"Haha, my Alien Beast is even a Black Dragon Beast; as long as it's nurtured well, it can easily rival a Mortal Realm Peak!"
The group of youths was, in any case, extremely excited.
They were increasingly glad that they had joined the Beast Taming Peak.
Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao were similarly issued their respective Alien Beasts.
They were not as good as that Black Dragon Beast, but they were still Alien Beasts that, if nurtured properly, could rival the Seventh Grade or even Seventh Grade Peak in the future.
To be precise, the lowest grade of Alien Beast issued by this Beast Taming Peak was the kind in Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao's hands!
The two looked at each other, and at this moment, they couldn't help but think.
This Tianren Sect, especially this Beast Taming Peak, is a bit too wealthy and imposing, right?
Don't look at how Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao were either dealing with Hehuan Shangren or being hunted by Second Step demonic cultivators across the sky before.
But Hehuan Shangren was because they were unlucky, and being hunted by Second Step demonic cultivators was because they had reached that level; in reality, it is still that saying: in the Xuanyuan World, the number of cultivators compared to the population is pitifully small, and the number of Martial Artists, especially high-level Martial Artists, is also not large!
And yet, upon entering the Beast Taming Peak, everyone gets one, an Alien Beast that can at least be nurtured to the Seventh Grade!
It means that for these people, even if their Martial Arts Talent is insufficient and they cannot cultivate to the Mortal Realm Second Stage or Third Stage, relying on an Alien Beast alone is enough...
"Also, Brother Bai, when we left, I paid attention and observed."
"Those youths who didn't have enough talent were really just sent away, and it seems they were even given a sum of money."
Situ Chengdao secretly transmitted his voice.
The meaning he wanted to express was very simple.
Could they have been mistaken?
Is the Tianren Sect truly a clear stream in the Demonic Cultivator Realm?
Does this sect really just want to nurture all its disciples and then condense the strength of everyone in the sect to gain a foothold in the Southern Region?
And is the fact that the Peak Masters only have Second Step First Stage strength because this sect has special methods to deal with other demonic cultivators?
If that were the case, then they wouldn't need to live in fear and could properly play the role of disciples, dodging the initial period of Hehuan Shangren's bounty.
"Let me see..." Ye Bai was likewise wavering, but he did not easily reach a conclusion.
He believed time would give him the answer.
Nighttime.
Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao stayed in a small courtyard within Beast Taming Peak that had been arranged for them.
"Changsheng, and the other three, I'm troubling you! And you must be careful, careful, and careful again!"
Ye Bai even quietly took out the doll.
"Ye Bai, you should be the one to be more careful. We are only going out to check on those boys and girls who left, and with our abilities, even a Third Step Great Demonic Cultivator would not be able to discover us without careful observation."
Wensheng said.
Ye Bai wanted to know the current situation of those boys and girls whose talent was insufficient.
Only after confirming their safety would Ye Bai be able to set his mind slightly at ease!
However.
It is worth mentioning.
When the next day arrived.
What Ye Bai waited for first was not the return of the Four Saints or the news they brought back...
But rather another surprise that made his expression change drastically!
