655: Enter the Heavenly Alliance

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Yang Lingchen finally arrived at the territory of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

To smoothly join the Heavenly Dao Alliance, Yang Lingchen used the yellow springs diagram to conceal his cultivation level.

To outsiders, he appeared to be just a Spirit God Realm Cultivator.

The reason he kept his cultivation level at the Spirit God Realm was mainly to avoid drawing too much attention; otherwise, if he caught the eye of the Heavenly Dao Alliance's upper management, it wouldn't be so easy for him to obtain the saint yin pill.

The Heavenly Dao Alliance was one of the ten Peak powers of the Gods Star Domain, holding absolute authority in this vast and boundless Star Domain.

The Alliance Leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, Lin Shiyin, was exceptionally gifted and possessed unrivaled talent. Her cultivation level had even reached the Peak of the Heavenly Dao Extreme Realm, and her combat strength was considered that of a top-tier powerhouse even within the entire Gods Star Domain.

Under Lin Shiyin's leadership, the Heavenly Dao Alliance's ranking had risen from tenth among the ten Peak powers to seventh.

The territory of the Heavenly Dao Alliance was extremely vast. At Yang Lingchen's speed, it would still take him at least seven or eight days to reach the Heavenly Dao Alliance's mountain gate.

On this day, Yang Lingchen arrived at a vast mountain range composed of countless Peaks, each soaring into the clouds as if connecting heaven and earth.

This mountain range was named the Cangxuan Mountain Range, and it was considered one of the most extensive mountain ranges in the Gods Star Domain.

Countless powerful Yao Beast inhabited the depths of the mountain range, attracting numerous Cultivator for training and exploration.

The Heavenly Dao Alliance was located directly to the east of the Cangxuan Mountain Range, making the range a necessary path to reach the alliance.

Yang Lingchen did not choose to fly over the Cangxuan Mountain Range; after all, for him, this mountain range was also an ideal place for training.

With Yang Lingchen's current strength, it was already difficult to find an opponent in the entire Cangxuan Mountain Range, but to achieve the effect of training, he suppressed his cultivation level and continuously Cultivate his various Martial Skill.

Through continuous tempering, Yang Lingchen's Space Martial Skill was once again sublimated, and his various combat Martial Skill also saw some improvement.

Seven days flashed by, and on this day, Yang Lingchen finally arrived before the mountain gate of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

“Who are you? What business do you have at our Heavenly Dao Alliance?”

Just then, a Disciple guarding the mountain gate of the Heavenly Dao Alliance shouted loudly.

“This Junior has heard that the Heavenly Dao Alliance is a Peak power in the Gods Star Domain, so I have come out of admiration to seek apprenticeship,” Yang Lingchen said with a humble expression.

“Stinky brat, you have good taste, but our Heavenly Dao Alliance doesn't just accept anyone.”

The Disciple guarding the mountain gate took out an iron token, handed it to Yang Lingchen, then pointed to a small wooden cabin next to the mountain gate and said, “Take this token and wait over there! In three days, it happens to be our Heavenly Dao Alliance's annual Disciple Recruitment Ceremony.”

“Thank you.” Yang Lingchen cupped his hands and thanked him.

“Remember, no making trouble, or your qualification will be revoked,” the Disciple guarding the mountain gate warned.

“I understand.” Yang Lingchen nodded, then walked toward the small wooden cabin nearby.

When he arrived at the small wooden cabin, there were already over a dozen people sitting inside, each sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed to rest their spirits.

Yang Lingchen did not enter but found a clean spot outside the cabin to sit down.

He didn't take the upcoming Disciple Recruitment Ceremony to heart. With his current strength, he was considered a top-tier expert even within the entire Heavenly Dao Alliance, so participating in a mere recruitment ceremony naturally wouldn't be difficult for him.

The reason Yang Lingchen came to participate in the Disciple Recruitment Ceremony was mainly to obtain the saint yin pill, so he didn't plan to keep too low a profile, as a mediocre talent could never gain the attention of the Heavenly Dao Alliance's upper management.

Yang Lingchen's plan was simple: to rise within the Heavenly Dao Alliance as quickly as possible. Once he became the most outstanding Disciple of the alliance, asking for the saint yin pill should follow naturally.

Time passed, and it was soon the third day.

By now, thousands of Spirit God Realm Cultivator had gathered outside the Heavenly Dao Alliance's mountain gate, all here for the Disciple Recruitment Ceremony.

As a Peak power of the Gods Star Domain, the days when the Heavenly Dao Alliance recruited new Disciple were very popular.

Of course, the conditions for the Heavenly Dao Alliance to recruit new Disciple were also very strict: first, those with a cultivation level below the Spirit God Realm were not accepted; those over a million years old were not accepted; and those with poor combat strength were also not accepted.

These three points alone left countless people beyond reach.

Yang Lingchen followed in the middle of the line, waiting for the arrival of the Heavenly Dao Alliance's examination Elder.

About fifteen minutes later, a middle-aged man wearing a purple robe with a resolute face walked over.

The newcomer was exactly the Eighth Elder of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, Xu Yingtian, who was also the examination Elder for this recruitment of new Disciple.

“This Disciple Recruitment Ceremony will be personally hosted by this seat. Before we begin, there are some things I must clarify.”

Xu Yingtian's gaze sharpened, and he said in a solemn voice, “From its founding until now, my Heavenly Dao Alliance has never proactively participated in the disputes of various major powers, but that does not mean we are afraid of trouble. If your backgrounds are not clean, or if you have ulterior motives toward my Heavenly Dao Alliance, you may leave now, and this seat will not pursue the matter.”

“If you want to take a chance and challenge the intelligence capabilities of my Heavenly Dao Alliance, then do not blame this seat for starting a massacre.”

After a moment, seeing that no one withdrew, Xu Yingtian announced the start of the examination.

The Heavenly Dao Alliance's examination was quite strict; first, age and cultivation level were verified, followed by a test of combat strength.

Once all these criteria were met, it was time to verify identities.

If the identity verification passed and a heavenly dao oath was sworn before the statue of the Heavenly Dao Alliance's Ancestral Master, one could become a Heavenly Dao Alliance Disciple.

Yang Lingchen's examination went very smoothly; whether it was age, cultivation level, or combat strength, he passed with outstanding results.

To avoid drawing attention, the cultivation level he displayed to the outside was the Seventh Layer of the Spirit God Realm.

Entering the Heavenly Dao Alliance with this cultivation level was a decision he had made after careful consideration.

If the displayed cultivation level was too high, it might arouse suspicion from the alliance's upper management, but if it was too low, he might not be taken seriously within the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

“What is your name? Which Sect have you joined before this?”

Xu Yingtian scrutinized Yang Lingchen carefully, his sharp eyes seemingly able to see through a person.

He hadn't expected such a young Genius to appear at the Heavenly Dao Alliance's Disciple Recruitment Ceremony.

“Junior Yang Lingchen is a Loose Cultivator who has never joined any power,” Yang Lingchen said politely with cupped hands.

“Very good, you have passed the examination.” A flash of appreciation appeared in Xu Yingtian's eyes.

In his view, Yang Lingchen was a piece of unpolished jade waiting to be carved, because he had just exerted spiritual pressure; if a Spirit God Realm Cultivator were lying, he would be able to tell at a glance.

“Thank you, Senior.” Yang Lingchen bowed politely.

The examination ended quickly. In the end, two hundred and twenty people met the criteria, but the Heavenly Dao Alliance only selected the fifty most talented young people.

Then, led by a Deacon of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, these fifty young people arrived before the Ancestral Master's statue at the Heavenly Dao Alliance's Mountain Gate Plaza.

“Now, swear a heavenly dao oath before the Ancestral Master's statue, and you will become Disciple of my Heavenly Dao Alliance,” Xu Yingtian said loudly.

Soon, all the new Disciple swore the heavenly dao oath, declaring they would never betray the Sect.

“Disciple Yang Lingchen joins the Heavenly Dao Alliance with no ulterior motives, only to pursue the Peak of the Martial Dao. As long as the Heavenly Dao Alliance does not fail this Disciple, this Disciple will never fail the Heavenly Dao Alliance.” Yang Lingchen raised his right hand and swore the heavenly dao oath.

“This Stinky brat is quite slippery.”

Xu Yingtian felt something was slightly off about Yang Lingchen's heavenly dao oath, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Next was the apprenticeship segment, and many of the Heavenly Dao Alliance's upper management appeared on the scene.
