At the summit of Flying Sword Mountain, the two hundred and eighteen young boys and girls, though physically and mentally exhausted, were incredibly excited.
At that moment, Yang Fan, standing on a flying sword, appeared before the group of young boys and girls, a knowing smile on his face as he looked at them.
"Congratulations, you have successfully reached the summit, and congratulations, you have officially become disciples of my Seven Stars Sword Sect. Let me formally introduce myself again, my name is Yang Fan, and I am also your Senior Brother!"
As soon as Yang Fan finished speaking, the young boys and girls were shocked. Wasn't it said that there would be three tests? Climbing Flying Sword Mountain was only the second test. How could they have successfully joined the Seven Stars Sword Sect?
"That... Senior Brother, didn't you say yesterday that we had to go through three entry tests to join the Seven Stars Sword Sect? But we clearly only passed two!"
At that moment, a young boy asked, also voicing the doubts in everyone's hearts. Everyone looked at Yang Fan, anticipating his answer.
Yang Fan smiled and explained, "The third test naturally exists, but it concerns your starting point in the sect in the future. You will find out later. Now, before you officially become disciples of my Seven Stars Sword Sect, I must tell you about our sect rules. You must listen carefully, because if you violate any of the rules in the future, the consequences will be severe."
As he spoke, Yang Fan's tone became extremely serious, and even his eyes became unusually sharp, like a sharp sword about to be drawn, causing the young boys and girls to tremble and subconsciously focus their attention on Yang Fan.
"Rule number one: Betraying the master or destroying the ancestors is forbidden. Violators will be killed!"
"Rule number two: Doing anything that harms the sect or betrays the sect is forbidden. Violators will be killed!"
"Rule number three: Internal strife is forbidden. Violators will be killed!"
"Rule number four: Bullying the weak and disgracing the sect is forbidden. Violators will be killed!"
"The above four rules are the rules of my Seven Stars Sword Sect. Do you understand?"
Yang Fan looked at them sternly.
"We understand!"
The group of young boys and girls shouted at the top of their lungs.
"Very good!" Yang Fan nodded with a smile on his face.
"Senior Brother, what if we are bullied by others? What should we do?" At that moment, a simply dressed young boy asked.
Yang Fan looked over, his eyes changing slightly. He saw a scar on the boy's face, as if left by a sharp weapon. He said softly, "If anyone dares to bully us, then take your sword and beat them to death. If you can't win, then return to the sect and ask for reinforcements. Remember, the sect is always your greatest support. As long as you are in the right, no matter who the other party is, what power they have, the sect will get justice for you. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
The young boys and girls responded excitedly. What more could they ask for than to join such a protective sect?
"Since that's the case, then I will now take you to the place for the third test."
As he spoke, Yang Fan waved his hand, and a huge magical artifact flying ship appeared in front of the young boys and girls.
Everyone looked at the huge magical artifact flying ship in amazement. Under Yang Fan's guidance, they quickly boarded the ship, and then the ship, under Yang Fan's control, quickly flew towards the Seven Stars Sword Sect.
Flying Sword Mountain was just a place under the Seven Stars Sword Sect's mountain gate used to select disciples. It was not inside the Seven Stars Sword Sect and was tens of thousands of miles away from the Seven Stars Sword Sect, so Yang Fan had to use the magical artifact flying ship to take these "fresh blood" to the sect.
From Flying Sword Mountain to the Seven Stars Sword Sect's mountain gate, it would take an incense stick's worth of time to travel by flying ship. After all, the level of this flying ship was not particularly high, and its flying speed was far inferior to Yang Fan alone, but fortunately, it could carry multiple people.
During this time, Yang Fan was not idle. Instead, he told these newly joined junior brothers and sisters about the history of the Seven Stars Sword Sect, with a particular focus on Sect Master Li Beifei.
"Senior Brother, I heard that our Sword Sect's Sect Master is not very old. Is that true?" A young boy asked curiously, and the others also looked at Yang Fan curiously.
"Hehe, of course it's true!" Yang Fan smiled. "Speaking of which, the Sect Master is only three years older than me."
"Then Senior Brother, how old are you?" Someone asked.
"Twenty-one!" Yang Fan smiled.
"Wow, then the Sect Master is only twenty-four years old? Even younger than my big brother! The Sect Master is amazing!" A young boy said in surprise.
"Of course, our Sect Master is a genius that appears once every ten thousand years," Yang Fan said proudly.
"Then Senior Brother, can you tell us what your cultivation level is?" Someone asked curiously again.
"Of course, your Senior Brother's cultivation level has now reached the Nirvana Realm, Third Level."
"Wow, that's amazing! What about the Sect Master?"
"I don't know about that, but I only know that the Sect Master only needs one finger to suppress me."
"Wow wow wow, the Sect Master is so amazing! I really want to see what the Sect Master looks like!"
"Haha, you will have a chance to see the Sect Master later."
Yang Fan laughed.
And in a corner of the flying ship, Duanmu Yun was absentmindedly thinking about something.
"Sister Duanmu, what are you thinking about?" Yi Jifeng walked to Duanmu Yun's side and sat down next to her without any hesitation, the two of them very close.
"Young Master, I seem to have accidentally caused trouble," Duanmu Yun said uneasily.
"What?" Yi Jifeng looked at Duanmu Yun in confusion.
Then Duanmu Yun told Yi Jifeng about what she had encountered at the summit of Flying Sword Mountain. Naturally, she did not recognize Li Beifei and Xuan Mingzi and could only use "senior experts" to refer to them.
"Young Master, I said, 'I don't know what the Seven Stars Sword Sect is,' will that offend those two senior experts?" Duanmu Yun said anxiously.
Although Yi Jifeng was young, as the sole heir of the family, he had received an excellent education since childhood. He was precocious and more familiar with some things than Duanmu Yun, a girl a few years older than him, but after hearing Duanmu Yun's story, he didn't know how to answer.
After thinking about it, Yi Jifeng said, "Sister Duanmu, did those two seniors say anything else to you?"
Duanmu Yun thought for a while and then said, "That senior in white clothes told me something about taking down the two major sects, and something about making a name in the mortal realm, the myriad realms, and so on. I don't understand."
After hearing this, Yi Jifeng was also dumbfounded. Taking down the two major sects was easy to understand, which meant destroying the Xuantian Sword Sect and the Lie Tian Sword Sect in the ten-year agreement, but what were the mortal realm and the myriad realms? He only knew about making a name in the Northern Chen Star.
"Anything else?" Yi Jifeng asked.
Duanmu Yun thought for a while and said, "Oh right, he also told me that I was the first to reach the summit, and he also said goodbye to me before disappearing."
After hearing this, Yi Jifeng smiled and said, "Sister Duanmu, then you don't have to worry. The senior obviously didn't hold it against you, otherwise he wouldn't have said 'goodbye' to you."
"I hope so!" Duanmu Yun still looked worried. She was very annoyed that she didn't think before she spoke, but she couldn't be blamed for that. She had never heard of the Seven Stars Sword Sect before. She only knew that she would wash clothes, cook, and warm the bed for the young master in the future.
Soon, the flying ship brought them to the Seven Stars Sword Sect!
