123: Chapter 123 Extraordinarily High Welfare Benefits: Giving These People a Little Shock
"Why can he go up? Why? Where am I worse than him?"
"He is sincere, but you are not. You peeked at a young girl bathing in the illusion just now. Did you think no one would know?"
"You... how did you know?"
"How do I know? The ask-heart ladder displayed all your embarrassing deeds on the light screen. Billions of people saw it."
Outside the mountain gate, hundreds of millions of Cultivators who hadn't squeezed in yet watched the rankings on the light screen, stamping their feet in anxiety!
"Another one reached the top! The second place has gone up too!"
"The third place is almost there too! Nine thousand eight hundred layers!"
"The 100,000 spots, over a hundred are already gone!"
"I want to go up too! I'm dying of anxiety! Don't push me from behind!"
"What's the use of being anxious? He is sincere, so he can go up in one step! You are not sincere, so it's useless even if you squeeze to the front!"
"Who says I'm not sincere? My sincerity toward the Gu Family is evident to Heaven and Earth!"
"Heaven and Earth being evident is useless; only the ask-heart ladder being evident matters!"
Meanwhile, Mo Wen, who was the first to reach the top, stood inside the mountain gate, looking at the unfamiliar scene before him, feeling a bit dazed!
Spiritual liquid, ginseng fruit trees, enlightenment tea trees, spiritual jade, and many other things he had never seen before!
In his entire life, he had never seen such a place!
Calling it a fairyland would not be an exaggeration!
Even those Holy Lands and Emperor Families would look like they were in a garbage dump compared to being in a castle when placed before this!
Mo Wen was originally just a Loose Cultivator, his parents were both dead, he had no relatives or friends, his talent wasn't high, and after Cultivating for hundreds of years, he was still hovering in the Sovereign Realm!
He didn't even dare to approach the mountain gates of those large Sects or great Emperor Families!
It wasn't that he didn't want to go, but that he wasn't worthy!
He lacked talent, had no background, and possessed no resources!
Who would want him?
A few days ago, he heard that the Gu Family was recruiting Disciples, not looking at talent or Cultivation, only sincerity!
He didn't believe it!
In this world, where would such a good thing exist?
But he still came!
Because he had nowhere else to go!
Having an opportunity meant having hope, and he didn't want to miss this chance!
On the ask-heart ladder, he experienced nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine interrogations!
Every time, the ask-heart ladder asked him, "Why did you come to the Gu Family?"
"For resources? For status? To be looked up to by others?"
His answer was always the same: "Whoever gives me a chance, I will be loyal to them!"
In the illusion, the Gu Family faced a catastrophe, with strong enemies pressing on the border and blood flowing like a river!
Those fellow Disciples fell one by one; some ran away, some surrendered, and some hid in corners, trembling!
Mo Wen did not run!
His Cultivation was the lowest, but he charged to the very front!
He knew he would die, but he was not afraid!
Because the Gu Family gave him a chance, this life belonged to the Gu Family!
In the illusion, he died dozens of times, and every time, he died a miserable death!
But every time, he did not retreat!
Outside the mountain gate, his name disappeared from the light screen! As the saying goes, where there is one, there is two; soon, another ray of light appeared on the mountaintop.
The second person to reach the top was named Chen Shuanglian, a Disciple of the Ice Phoenix Clan, at the eighth level of the Sovereign Realm, with good talent and a good background!
Logically speaking, he had no need to come to the Gu Family at all.
But he wanted to become stronger and go further!
On the ask-heart ladder, he experienced the same interrogations as Mo Wen.
In the illusion, the Ice Phoenix Clan and the Gu Family both faced a catastrophe, and he could only save one!
He chose the Gu Family! Because he knew that only if the Gu Family lived, could the Ice Phoenix Clan live!
The third, the fourth, the fifth... one after another, the lights on the mountaintop became more numerous, and the names on the light screen disappeared one by one!
The 100,000 spots were being filled one by one!
Inside the mountain gate, Jian Wuji stood on the plaza, with the first batch of people who had passed the test standing before him.
Over a hundred of them, men and women, old and young, some Loose Cultivators and some Disciples of Emperor Families!
Jian Wuji looked around and spoke, "Congratulations to you all for passing the test."
The hundred-plus people straightened their backs in unison! They were afraid of leaving a bad impression in front of Jian Wuji!
"Passing the test is just the beginning! I don't care what faction or background you had before! Now that you have entered the Gu Family, you are people of the Gu Family! You must follow the rules of the Gu Family!"
Everyone pricked up their ears! They were afraid of missing a single word! They all raised their heads and puffed out their chests, looking at Jian Wuji!
Jian Wuji's tone was calm, "First, upon entering the Gu Family, you must never betray it for eternity! Among fellow Disciples, you must help and support one another; secret competition is forbidden! Violators will be expelled from the Gu Family!"
They did not speak. No one felt this rule was excessive. Because betrayal is not allowed anywhere!
Besides, they were all sincere people, all part of the same faction, so naturally, there was nothing to be petty about!
"Second, as Disciples of the Gu Family, all facilities within the mountain gate can be used without limit on time or frequency! Additionally, in the Cultivation Hall, everyone can choose one Emperor Technique to Cultivate!"
Immediately after, his tone shifted, and he said sternly, "However! External dissemination is forbidden! Violators will be severely punished without exception!"
As the words fell, the hundred-plus people were stunned! It wasn't because the rule was difficult! It was because they heard something incredible!
"Emperor Technique? Isn't that the Cultivation Technique of a Great Emperor?"
"The Gu Family was actually taking this out for them to Cultivate?"
The expressions on everyone's faces were indescribably wonderful! There were 100 people, so there were 100 expressions, and each one was different!
"Emperor Technique, that is a legendary thing! In the entire continent, besides the Gu Family, I am afraid no other faction could take it out!"
"Even if they had one, it would be treated as a treasured heirloom, hidden and tucked away, and only Core Disciples would be able to take a look!"
"The Gu Family, on the other hand, let them choose and practice freely!! This gap is not just a little bit!"
One must know that the Gu Family is recruiting 100,000 Disciples this time! Could the Gu Family really provide so much?
Everyone was shocked beyond measure! "Me? Did I hear that right? Emperor Technique?"
"You didn't hear wrong, it is indeed an Emperor Technique! This is too terrifying!! Directly giving it to us to Cultivate?!"
"The Gu Family!! The Gu Family is too generous!!"
"How is it that an Emperor Technique is like Chinese cabbage in the eyes of the Gu Family!! With so many of us, one for each person..."
Everyone covered their mouths, not daring to say anything else; some even slapped their own faces! Telling themselves this wasn't real! But the pain let them feel that this was real!
Jian Wuji continued, "Third, you will enjoy the same benefits as affiliated Disciples. Cultivation resources, Medicinal Pills, and spiritual fruits will be distributed monthly. If you perform well, there will be additional rewards!"
Everyone was speechless! First an Emperor Technique, then resources, Medicinal Pills, and spiritual fruits! And even additional rewards for good performance!
As expected of an Emperor Family, they are so extravagant, truly extravagant!
Just what was mentioned earlier, even the Emperor's children of a Quasi-Emperor Family might not have such treatment! Yet they could obtain it easily!
This meant their conditions were not a bit worse than those Emperor's children! It could even be said they were incredibly good! They never dared to even dream of these things before! Now everything was laid out in front of them!
And this was merely an insignificant thing that the Gu Family gave them, after all, there was plenty of it! But for them, it was simply shocking! It made their hearts unable to handle it! They all declared that they would pledge their lives to the Gu Family! Loyalty!
