The Seven Stars Sword Sect's disciple recruitment conference arrived as scheduled. As the most prominent sect in the Northern Dipper Star, news of the Seven Stars Sword Sect's recruitment conference spread far and wide, and young people eager to join flocked from all directions to Sword Origin City at the foot of the Seven Stars Sword Sect's mountain gate.
Sword Origin City, being the closest city to the Seven Stars Sword Sect, and with the Chen family of Chen Fan residing there, had expanded its scale over the years. It grew from a small city capable of accommodating only a few million people to a large city that could house hundreds of millions.
The Seven Stars Sword Sect only recruits boys and girls under the age of eighteen because, after countless years of research by the wise men of the human race, the best age for enlightenment and cultivation is between ten and eighteen. Those under ten have bodies and bones that are too tender and not suitable for tempering. Of course, if you can bathe your body with expensive spiritual medicines every day, you can start cultivating at the age of five. Heirs of major forces usually start cultivating at the age of five.
Those over eighteen have fixed meridians and acupoints, greatly reducing their plasticity. Unless they possess a special physique that allows the sect's experts to personally cleanse their meridians and marrow, they generally won't recruit people over eighteen.
Speaking of which, our protagonist, Gu Changsheng, was already twenty-five when he transmigrated to this world, so it's no wonder it took him a year to cultivate to the Transcending Mortal Realm. He was too old!
Seven Stars Sword Sect, Flying Sword Mountain.
Flying Sword Mountain is specially set up by the Seven Stars Sword Sect for recruiting disciples. On Flying Sword Mountain, there is the Flying Sword Formation arranged by Duan Fei. Looking up from the foot of the mountain, one can see countless immortal swords flying around Flying Sword Mountain, the sword intent awe-inspiring, soaring into the sky.
At this time, tens of thousands of young boys and girls have gathered at the foot of Flying Sword Mountain. Among them are the descendants of various major families in the Northern Dipper Star, princesses or princes of secular kingdoms. These people account for the vast majority, because only they can afford the expensive travel expenses to travel millions of miles to the Seven Stars Sword Sect.
Of course, there are also some unaffiliated cultivators. They are not strong, and those from far away may have traveled across mountains and rivers to the Seven Stars Sword Sect five years ago. For this, they risk their lives.
Speaking of which, at the beginning of the Seven Stars Sword Sect, except for the Chen family, everyone else, including Vice Sect Master Duan Fei, were unaffiliated cultivators, so the unaffiliated cultivators of the Northern Dipper Star have a inexplicable sense of closeness to the Seven Stars Sword Sect.
It's just that unaffiliated cultivators with extraordinary talents are too rare, otherwise they wouldn't be unaffiliated cultivators.
At this time, in the clouds, Gu Changsheng, Hou Tu, the White Tiger Demon Emperor, the Divine Calculator, and the Golden Ancient Emperor, who rarely taught disciples, were all here. They looked at Flying Sword Mountain below, and their faces showed curiosity.
"Seriously, it's understandable that Little White and Old Huang haven't experienced these things, after all, we are still young, what's wrong with you two? Why do you look like you've never seen the world?" Gu Changsheng complained to Hou Tu and the Divine Calculator. He, Little White, and Old Huang didn't have their own Dao traditions (sects), so naturally they hadn't experienced such large-scale disciple recruitment. As for other sects recruiting disciples, how could they possibly watch?
But Hou Tu and the Divine Calculator also looked like they had never seen it before, which made him depressed.
You guys have lived for countless years, how can you have so little knowledge?
The Divine Calculator explained: "Well... I was also the head of a sect back then, but Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, you also know that after the Cataclysm of the Era, I was the only one who survived, and since then, I have been living the life of finding a successor and avoiding the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Countless years have passed, and seeing this scene again, it is inevitable that I will feel nostalgic!"
"This explanation is reasonable." Gu Changsheng approved of the Divine Calculator's reason, and then turned his gaze to Hou Tu, who was dressed in red.
"I'm just curious, okay? Can't I be curious?" Hou Tu said.
"..." Gu Changsheng.
"That old woman still has such a fiery temper, no wonder she can't get married." Gu Changsheng muttered in a low voice.
The Golden Ancient Emperor and the Divine Calculator next to him gave Hou Tu a thumbs up. They didn't dare to speak to Gu Changsheng in this tone, only Hou Tu could choke Gu Changsheng.
"You..."
"What me, don't forget, who am I to you!" Gu Changsheng suddenly remembered that he had won the bet before, and immediately straightened his chest and looked directly at Hou Tu.
Hou Tu was speechless for a moment, and suddenly remembered that embarrassing title, she immediately turned around and ignored Gu Changsheng.
"That was a bet between my true self and you, what does it have to do with my incarnation?" Hou Tu said stiffly.
After hearing this, Gu Changsheng widened his eyes and looked at Hou Tu in disbelief. Was this still the Hou Tu he knew? She actually learned to be unreasonable.
The Golden Ancient Emperor and the Divine Calculator looked at each other behind their backs, exchanged glances, and finally gave each other a "there must be a deeper meaning" look.
"What are you doing with your secret glances?" Gu Changsheng suddenly turned around and looked at the two of them.
"Nothing, nothing!"
The two shook their heads quickly.
"Really?"
Just as Gu Changsheng was thinking about whether to read their minds, Hou Tu said: "It's starting!"
"Oh? Quickly move aside, you're blocking my view!" Gu Changsheng immediately pushed aside a cloud in front of him and looked down.
The Golden Ancient Emperor and the Divine Calculator breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, they had survived this tribulation.
At this moment, a stream of light appeared above Flying Sword Mountain, and then the stream of light dissipated, and a figure appeared. It was a young man, stepping on a flying sword, wearing a sword-patterned robe, with long hair fluttering, his temperament detached from the world like an immortal sword.
"I am Yang Fan, the person in charge of the first test for your entry. Now, I will announce the rules of the entry test, you must listen carefully."
Yang Fan's voice was vast, with an unspeakable majesty. After ten years of growth, he had also changed from a naive young man to a strong man who could stand alone.
"My Seven Stars Sword Sect's entry test is divided into three levels. The first level is the sword intent baptism. The so-called sword intent baptism is to withstand the sword intent I emit. Those who can persist for half an incense stick can enter the next level."
"The second level is to climb Flying Sword Mountain. Flying Sword Mountain is the big mountain in front of you. It is three thousand three hundred and thirty-three feet high. Those who can climb to the top of the mountain within a day can enter the third level."
"The third level, you will know when you pass the second level."
"Have you understood?"
Yang Fan's voice spread throughout Flying Sword Mountain.
"We understand!"
Tens of thousands of young boys and girls stood up excitedly and responded.
"Since that's the case, let's begin!"
As soon as Yang Fan finished speaking, a majestic sword intent rose from him, and then he controlled the sword intent to press down on these young boys and girls.
"Boom!"
After feeling Yang Fan's sword intent, the faces of these young boys and girls changed drastically, and their hearts were greatly shaken. Some people were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground, their faces pale. These people were undoubtedly eliminated in the first time.
Those who were eliminated in the first time looked very unwilling, but even if they were unwilling, they could only accept the result.
Yang Fan shook his head slightly when he saw that many people were frightened to the ground by his sword intent. These people couldn't withstand even one percent of his sword intent and were not suitable for practicing swords.
Time slowly passed...
