In East Shenzhou, at the foot of the Spirit Sword Sect Mountain.
There were masses of people, extending as far as the eye can see.
Today is the day of the Spirit Sword Sect's initiation ceremony.
As one of the seven great cultivation sects in East Shenzhou.
The initiation of Spirit Sword Sect was a major event that shocked the entire East Shenzhou.
There's a popular saying that goes, "Rather be a dog in the mountains of immortals, than a king in the world of mortals."
This reveals people's deep yearning for these immortal sects.
Xiao Yun stood among the crowd.
Strangely, it felt like being in a crowded subway in his previous life.
More than a year had passed since he transmigrated here, but the system did not appear.
Left with no choice, Xiao Yun had to figure out his own way.
When he heard that the Spirit Sword Sect was recruiting disciples, he immediately came.
Thinking that given his special status as a transmigrator, he should be noticed by one of the elders and become a true disciple, right?
Xiao Yun never doubted his qualifications.
Because after he transmigrated to this world.
With just a month of training in martial arts, he had defeated the martial arts master of the village, which was enough to prove his unusual talent.
Of course, practicing martial arts was not Xiao Yun's ultimate goal.
This was a world of immortality; what was the use of martial arts?
"Holy crap, girl, go easy on the pushing, my old bones can't take this! The girl in front must think I'm a freak!"
Xiao Yun turned back somewhat unhappily to address the girl who was desperately trying to push through.
At the moment, Xiao Yun was trapped in the middle, sandwiched firmly between four girls from all directions, his feet didn't even touch the ground.
Moving by himself was completely out of the question.
He could only go with the flow, moving forward at a rate of 0.003 meters per second.
The girl behind him who was desperately trying to squeeze past him was also a tough cookie. She glared at Xiao Yun and said, "It's almost dark, if you don't want to become a disciple, I do! If you're not going to move, get out of the way!"
Looking at the sky, Xiao Yun realized that the sun was already setting.
Even though it was still a while before sunset, the endless sea of people in front was not moving at all.
At this rate, even if he queued until the next morning, his turn would not come.
This was terrible; he had been too caught up in experiencing what it was like to be squashed in a subway.
How did time fly by so fast?
The Sword Spirit Sect's discipleship intake couldn't be just for one day, could it?
The Spirit Sword Sect is one of the seven strongest cultivation sects in East God Province.
Once this chance slips by, there won't be another.
Without hesitation, Xiao Yun forcefully squeezes past the girl in front of him!
…
Halfway up the mountain of Spirit Sword Sect.
Dozens of young men and women stand on a spacious plaza.
They have all been selected as disciples by the Spirit Sword Sect through rigorous tests.
The disciplinary elder looks at the densely packed crowd down the mountain with a furrowed brow.
Originally, the Spirit Sword Sect’s disciple recruitment was a very secretive affair, with only the royalty and nobility of various nations being privy to the information.
This time however, no one knows who let the cat out of the bag, but everyone in East God Province now knows that the Spirit Sword Sect is recruiting disciples.
This world is never short of geniuses.
What's lacking are resources.
Therefore, in the matter of recruiting disciples, it is better to value quality over quantity.
With so many people now seeking to become disciples, it indeed poses a dilemma for the Spirit Sword Sect.
The disciplinary elder asks a young disciple by his side with a furrowed brow.
"How many people have passed the test?"
"Master, fifty-five have passed the test so far."
"What are their qualifications?"
"Fifty have low-grade spiritual roots, five have medium-grade spiritual roots, none possess higher than a medium-grade spiritual root yet."
"Ah, the quality of mortals these days keep declining, after sifting through so many, we can't find a single one with high-grade spiritual root."
The Law Enforcement Elder sighed, pulling out a jade token from his chest and passing it to the disciple by his side.
"Take my credential to Elder Qiao at Dragon Head Peak, borrow his Heaven's Mirror, and tell him we have many potential students visiting. We need the Heaven's Mirror for aptitude judgment."
"Yes, Master, I will go right away."
...
At the foot of the mountain.
In the crowd.
Xiao Yun expended great effort, the equivalent of that of "nine oxen and two tigers," but could not successfully squeeze out of the crowd.
He was still hemmed in by four young girls.
Oh well, just go with the flow.
Just as Xiao Yun was about to give up struggling and close his eyes to accept his fate, a blinding white light suddenly radiated from the sky.
A circular mirror was spinning in the air.
The white light radiated from it.
The light grew brighter and gradually enveloped everyone at the foot of the mountain.
Xiao Yun felt a warm comforting sensation as the white light shone on him.
The others felt the same way.
For a while, everyone was chattering.
The Law Enforcement Elder was halfway up the mountain controlling the Mystical Heavenly Treasure Mirror. Upon enshrouding all the people who came for the discipleship, he suddenly shouted, "Silence!"
His majestic reprimand was like a clap of thunder ringing in their ears.
The crowd that was initially noisy quieted down.
The Law Enforcement Elder went on, "Not only does the path of cultivation require affinity, it also demands talent."
"Your presence at the gate of our Spirit Sword Sect today is an act of destiny, but whether you can join our Spirit Sword Sect is dependent on your talent."
"This magical item in the sky is called the Mystical Heavenly Treasure Mirror, and it can sense your affinity with spiritual power."
"No matter what happens next, don't panic and stay where you are."
"The Mystical Heavenly Treasure Mirror will choose those with excellent talents to become disciples of our Spirit Sword Sect."
"Do not be discouraged if you are not chosen by the Mystical Heavenly Treasure Mirror."
"There are a thousand ways in life, it is a long journey, and you will find a path that belongs to you.”
“Alright, I will not prattle anymore, everyone focus, feel the spiritual power bestowed by the Mysterious Heaven Mirror.”
As soon as the Law Enforcer Elder finished speaking, Xiao Yun felt the warm sensation on his body become stronger.
Following that, he was enclosed in an invisible gas, lifting him slowly and uncontrollably.
Amid the surprised gazes of those around him, Xiao Yun floated higher and higher.
He then slowly flew towards the mid-hill of Spirit Sword Mountain.
Xiao Yun, in mid-air, had a face full of surprise.
He had been chosen by the Mysterious Heaven Mirror.
He truly had a unique talent.
Secured spot as a true disciple!
Looking down at the surprised faces, heads lifted and mouths wide open.
Xiao Yun saw envy, jealousy, and other complex emotions on their faces.
Just then, Xiao Yun suddenly thought of something.
If it were a girl in a skirt that had been lifted...
This idea had just sprung up when a fiery red figure not far in front started to slowly float.
She has a lithe figure and her long hair floats in the wind.
Xiao Yun's eyes lit up, it's a younger sister!
And she's even wearing a red skirt!
Xiao Yun immediately livened up, his eyes affixed unblinkingly on the girl with a floating red skirt.
I just simply wanted to confirm my thoughts, I wasn't intending to peep at anything.
If my presumptions are accurate, I will report this affair to the sect to rectify this bug,
Xiao Yun thought in silence, his eyes fastened on the girl slowly floating up with a red skirt.
With the girl flying higher and higher, Xiao Yun noticed that there was a ball of white light beneath the girl's feet.
It was as though she was stepping on a cloud, the cloud wrapping around her lower leg securely.
"Darn!" Xiao Yun couldn't help but curse in a low breath.
"Lingjian sect really did consider everything, it seems I overthought."
