114: Chapter 114 The conditions are actually this simple? Peeking into the new world

"He ran away just because someone glared at him? That's way too cowardly!"

"He's not cowardly; he's afraid of getting beaten up! With his attitude, that Senior could crush him with just one finger!"

Amidst the laughter, a white-haired old man stepped out from the crowd and cupped his hands toward Gu Chen.

"Young Master Gu, if I may be so bold, what are the conditions for joining the Gu Family?"

The hall instantly fell silent, and everyone pricked up their ears.

This was the most crucial question!

When an Emperor-level Family recruits Disciples, the conditions must be incredibly harsh!

Things like Aptitude, Cultivation, background, age, and so on!

Any one of those could weed out ninety-nine percent of people!

No wonder they said they only wanted one hundred thousand; the conditions must be extremely strict, otherwise they wouldn't be recruiting so few!

Gu Chen stepped out from behind Jian Wuji, looked around, and thought for a moment.

"Sincerity of heart! Righteousness of heart! Dedication to the Gu Family."

He paused, then added, "Just these three. We, the Gu Family, do not look at Aptitude, do not look at Cultivation, and do not look at background!"

"What?"

When the crowd heard this, they thought they had misheard!

The recruitment conditions were actually this simple?

This made them involuntarily slap their own faces, thinking it was a dream!

They only knew that the Gu Family was a Family with at least four Great Emperors guarding it!

Shouldn't a Family like that be looking at things like Aptitude and Cultivation?

They aren't looking at any of them? Could it be that they are here to do charity?

But for them, this was a good thing!

Doesn't this mean that everyone has a chance?

"No look at Aptitude? No look at Cultivation? Then do I have a chance too?"

"As a Loose Cultivator at the first level of the Sovereign Realm, can I go and try?"

"My Aptitude is average, and after Cultivating for several hundred years, I am still in the King Realm. I thought I had no hope in this life! Now it seems I can only..."

"Give it a shot! Don't worry too much!"

Those low-level Cultivators who had been turned away by large Sects and great Families, those Loose Cultivators with ordinary Aptitude and no background, those small Family Disciples who had been looked down upon their whole lives—all of their eyes were filled with light at this moment!

Even if it meant going in to sweep the floors, feed the pigs, or guard the gate, it would be fine!

As long as they could enter the Gu Family, they were willing to do anything!

This was the Family of a Great Emperor!

It wasn't like those who claimed to have a long history but were actually just relics of the past!

Moreover, the Gu Family didn't look at anything, only at sincerity and righteousness of heart. To them, this was much better than those powerful Families or Sects!

They not only restricted Aptitude but also restricted Cultivation!

Some even restricted appearance!

Saying they didn't want anyone ugly because it would affect the image of their faction!

"Screw that!"

Li Family Head stood to the side, watching the excited people, and felt moved in his heart.

He had lived for over ten thousand years and had never seen a Family that didn't take in people based on Aptitude or Cultivation, but only based on the human heart.

This was practically just doing charity!

He turned his head to look at the Clan Chief Bing Ru. "Clan Chief Ice Phoenix, what do you think?"

The Clan Chief Bing Ru looked at the Loose Cultivators and said softly, "The Gu Family is not lacking in resources, Aptitude, or strength; what they lack are people they can trust."

She paused, then added, "Sincerity of heart, righteousness of heart, and dedication to the Gu Family—these three conditions are likely harder to meet than any Aptitude."

Li Family Head nodded and said nothing more.

That was true!

After all, many people, for the sake of profit, would rather abandon their own Family or faction to join a hostile one!

Loyalty was far more valuable than any Aptitude!

Gu Chen waited for the discussions to quiet down before speaking, "One month from now, outside the mountain gate of the Gu Family in the Eastern Region, bring your sincerity!"

He turned and walked out of the hall. He had to go home too; Ru Shuang was pregnant, and she couldn't be exhausted or travel too much.

He needed to go back early to take care of her health.

Everyone in the hall was digesting this news!

"One month from now, the Gu Family in the Eastern Region, what are we waiting for?"

"I'm setting off today! If I walk slowly, I'll arrive in exactly one month!"

"I'm going too! Even if I don't get selected, it'll be worth it just to inhale a few breaths of Spiritual Qi outside the Gu Family's mountain gate!"

"I heard the Spiritual Qi outside the Gu Family's mountain gate is even denser than in the Central Region! Inhaling more might just make it worth the trip!"

The news grew wings, flying out of the hall, out of the Central Region, and toward the Eastern, Southern, Western, and Northern Regions!

In less than half a day, the entire continent knew that the Gu Family was recruiting Disciples—not looking at Aptitude, not looking at Cultivation, and only recruiting one hundred thousand!

There were only three conditions: Sincerity of heart, righteousness of heart, and dedication to the Gu Family!

Many factions and individuals were set in motion, bringing their families, calling on friends, packing their bags, and rushing toward the Eastern Region!

Even if they weren't selected, it would be worth it to inhale a few breaths of Spiritual Qi outside the Gu Family's mountain gate; inhaling a few more might just allow them to break through their Bottleneck!

"Dad, are we going too?"

"Go! Why wouldn't we go? Even if you don't get selected, it's good for you to see the world."

"Okay! If I get selected, I'm flying far away!"

"You don't want your dad anymore?"

"It doesn't matter!"

"You brat, you haven't even been selected yet, and you're already thinking about that! Get ready to face my lion's fangs!"

...

Gu Chen walked out of the hall, and Ru Shuang was standing in the courtyard waiting for him.

Her hand was resting on her belly, and there was a smile on her face.

Old Patriarch Ru Feng stood to the side, looking at Ru Shuang with eyes full of affection.

"Let's go, let's go home." Gu Chen walked over and took Ru Shuang's hand.

Ru Shuang nodded. "Mm."

The group took to the air and flew toward the Eastern Region.

Ru Shuang leaned on his shoulder. "This trip out seems to have yielded quite a harvest."

Gu Chen smiled. "It is quite a harvest."

He lowered his head and looked at her belly. "The greatest harvest is right here!"

Ru Shuang's face flushed red, and she gently punched him.

Gu Chen squeezed her hand. "Go home and rest well. When the child is born, I will teach him how to practice the sword!"

Ru Shuang leaned on his shoulder and said nothing more.

Meanwhile, the Demon Realm was transforming into a new world!

The source crystal of creation hung in the center of the world, and seven-colored light continued to spread!

The sky had completely turned azure blue, vegetation was lush, and everything was flourishing.

Ye Chang stood on a mountain peak, looking at this new world.

"In another twenty days, it should be completely purified."

Qi Yunhai nodded. "By then, this will be the Gu Family's second base."

Yun Ni said softly, "Master said he wants to recruit one hundred thousand Disciples here; it will surely be very lively by then."

The other two said nothing, continuing to patrol this world on their own.

The five of them were scattered in five directions of the world, each keeping watch.

The source crystal of creation was in their midst, continuously releasing seven-colored light!

This world was slowly experiencing Rebirth from death!

Meanwhile, deep in the Void Realm.

On a continent not far from the Demon Realm, several powerful entities opened their eyes simultaneously!

"What is that aura?!"

A white-haired old man looked up at the Void Realm, his gaze piercing through layers of space and landing on that new world!

"A new world?!"

"The Spiritual Qi is so dense; it's more than ten times stronger than here."

Another person said.

"Who is creating a world? We have never heard of such methods!"

"Regardless of who it is, since it is ownerless land, it should belong to those with the ability!"

"Send people to investigate! Find out the location of that world and find out who is creating it! If it is ownerless land, we will take it!"

"Yes."

Several figures flew out from the continent and headed deep into the Void Realm!

Their target was that new world!

They did not know that the world already had an owner!
