96: Join the Immortal Sword Sect

The next morning.

Yang Lingchen woke up early, washed, tidied his clothes, and then, full of vigor, headed straight for the Immortal Sword Sect's Mountain Gate.

All the way, he was filled with anticipation, his steps firm and powerful.

Due to the large number of people coming to the Immortal Sword Sect for the assessment, it was a sea of people, shoulder to shoulder.

That's why the Immortal Sword Sect's Disciple Recruitment Ceremony lasted for a full month.

Half a month had already passed since the Disciple Recruitment Ceremony began, but the number of applicants continued to increase, and the enthusiasm showed no signs of diminishing. This was the immense charm of the Immortal Sword Sect.

Because for many young Cultivators, entering the Immortal Sword Sect was like a fish leaping over the Dragon Gate, an excellent opportunity to change their fate. Not only could they obtain abundant Cultivation resources, but they also had the chance to receive careful guidance from top experts.

As long as one became an Immortal Sword Sect Inner Sect Disciple, their Family would also receive the Immortal Sword Sect's protection, free from external disturbances and threats.

These numerous benefits were also important reasons why many youths yearned for and flocked to the Immortal Sword Sect.

After Yang Lingchen successfully registered at the registration office, he was led by a special attendant to the place for bone age and cultivation level testing.

Under a series of strict and precise tests, he successfully passed all tests with his solid cultivation level and standard bone age.

Immediately afterward, Yang Lingchen and a group of other youths who also passed the tests were led to the Illusion Assessment Room.

According to the rules, this was a mysterious and powerful mental illusion.

In this illusion, everyone would encounter various temptations.

Of course, upon entering the illusion, everyone's memories of the Immortal Sword Sect would be temporarily Sealed.

This way, one's true humanity and character could be revealed in the illusion. Only those who could awaken from the illusion within half an hour were qualified to become Disciples of the Immortal Sword Sect.

This was also the final crucial assessment of the Immortal Sword Sect's Disciple Recruitment Ceremony.

When Yang Lingchen stepped into the illusion, a white light suddenly flashed before his eyes, and then he appeared in a picturesque valley with clear waters, birds singing, and fragrant flowers. The beautiful scenery here was intoxicating, as if it were a paradise that everyone yearned for.

At this moment, a girl, as if from a fairyland, with a graceful figure, slowly walked towards him.

The girl was dressed in a luxurious pink gown, her exquisite and flawless face like a lotus emerging from water, her snow-white skin delicate and flawless, and her pair of beautiful eyes sparkled like stars, making one unable to help but fall into them with a single glance.

The girl blinked her charming, beautiful eyes and softly said, "Can you stay here with me, live in seclusion in the mountains, and enjoy the rest of our lives?"

"I'm sorry, but I currently have no plans to live in seclusion in the mountains."

Yang Lingchen politely replied.

At this moment, he was full of doubts and also very curious as to why he had inexplicably appeared here.

Of course, he didn't know that his memories of the Immortal Sword Sect had been temporarily Sealed.

Just then, the Vast Heaven Jade in Yang Lingchen's body vibrated slightly, and a mysterious power instantly flowed out.

Immediately, his Sealed memories instantly recovered. Yang Lingchen instantly understood that all of this was just an illusion.

Without hesitation, he directly struck the beautiful girl with a palm.

In an instant, all the illusory scenes vanished like bubbles, the illusion ended, and Yang Lingchen's consciousness directly returned to his main body.

"This kid is good. He broke through the illusion in less than a quarter of an hour. He's a good prospect." An Immortal Sword Sect Elder stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction.

Half an hour passed in a flash. During this half hour, people gradually woke up from the illusion. These people all passed the assessment and were able to enter the Immortal Sword Sect.

Of course, a large number of people were awakened by the Immortal Sword Sect Elders, and these forcibly awakened people could only be eliminated.

After the assessment, under the careful selection of the Elders from various peaks, Yang Lingchen was ultimately chosen first by Chen Yuyan, the Lingxiu Peak Elder.

Only at this moment did Yang Lingchen finally breathe a sigh of relief. After more than a month in the Central Domain Divine Land, he finally had a place to settle down.

"Chen Yuyan, doesn't your Lingxiu Peak not accept male Disciples?"

A burly middle-aged man frowned and asked.

This middle-aged man had already taken a liking to Yang Lingchen's potential during the illusion assessment and originally wanted to take him as his Disciple.

"Our Peak Master instructed me to choose a male Disciple, and our Lingxiu Peak just happens to lack a male Disciple to do dirty and strenuous work," Chen Yuyan said indifferently.

"Are you kidding me? This is picking me to be a laborer!" Yang Lingchen was quite speechless in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak out presumptuously in front of the Elder.

"Chen Yuyan, can you let this kid go to me? How about you choose another male Disciple?" The middle-aged Elder still didn't give up and continued to persist.

"No." Chen Yuyan said decisively, then grabbed Yang Lingchen and flew towards Lingxiu Peak.

Lingxiu Peak is one of the Immortal Sword Sect's seven Main Peaks.

Lingxiu Peak had always only accepted Female Disciples; accepting Yang Lingchen today was already an exception.

Flying along, Yang Lingchen secretly sighed. In the Northern Profound Region, those in the Gui Xuan Realm could fly, but in the Central Domain Divine Land, only those in the King Realm could break free from the shackles of heaven and earth. The mountains and land below rapidly receded, and the wind whistled in his ears.

Not long after, Yang Lingchen was brought by Chen Yuyan to a secluded courtyard.

"From today onwards, this will be your residence. Your job is to be a sparring partner for the newly recruited Female Disciples of Lingxiu Peak, and at the same time, you'll have to do some dirty and strenuous work. Any problems?" Chen Yuyan said coldly.

"No... no problem." Yang Lingchen suppressed his anger and answered through gritted teeth.

Thus, Yang Lingchen settled down on Lingxiu Peak.

At the same time, the news of Lingxiu Peak accepting a male Disciple spread throughout Lingxiu Peak.

Everyone also knew that this male Disciple was actually used as a sparring partner for Lingxiu Peak's new Disciples, and to do some dirty and strenuous work incidentally.

Initially, Yang Lingchen had a relatively leisurely time, but from the third day onwards, many Female Disciples came one after another to spar with Yang Lingchen. These new Disciples of Lingxiu Peak had cultivation levels around the eighth or ninth layer of the Spiritual Profound Realm.

Although Yang Lingchen could easily overpower these people with his own strength, he couldn't strike too hard, as they were only there for sparring, exchange, and self-improvement.

Thus, Yang Lingchen began his career as a sparring partner on Lingxiu Peak. However, this kind of life was also quite leisurely; he sparred during the day and Cultivated frantically in the haotian jade space at night.

...

Medicine King Valley, Valley Master's Main Hall.

"Zhang Donghai, how dare you! I tasked you with overseeing Spiritual Medicine Peak, yet for your personal grievances, you caused irreparable losses to my Medicine King Valley. You truly deserve to die!"

An old man with a sharp Aura and cold eyes sat on the main seat of the hall. This person was none other than Xiao Minghao, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley. His voice echoed like thunder in the hall, filled with majesty and anger.

"Valley Master, please forgive me."

At this moment, Zhang Donghai trembled all over, kneeling on the ground, too scared to move, with large beads of sweat constantly rolling down his forehead.

"Is there any trace of that boy?" Xiao Minghao asked coldly, his face gloomy.

"Not yet, but he's already been put on wanted lists in all major cities. I believe it won't be long before he's found," Zhang Donghai said tremblingly, his voice filled with fear.

"Useless! You'd better pray that no Spirit Medicine was lost, otherwise, I'll flay you alive!"

Xiao Minghao roared, his powerful Aura seemingly solidifying the air in the entire hall.

...

A month passed in a blink of an eye. With the strong support of Medicinal Pills, Yang Lingchen's cultivation level successfully Broke through to the eighth layer of the Spiritual Profound Realm.

At the same time, Yang Lingchen's great name completely spread throughout Lingxiu Peak.

Because in this month, all the new Disciples of Lingxiu Peak were defeated by Yang Lingchen one by one, and even many veteran Disciples lost to Yang Lingchen.

The current Yang Lingchen could be said to be the number one in Lingxiu Peak's Outer Sect.

Meanwhile, during this month, Xiao Yu fell into a deep sleep in the haotian jade space.

Initially, Yang Lingchen was quite worried, but he relaxed after seeing that its breathing was normal and its vital signs were stable.

On this day, Yang Lingchen came to the Immortal Sword Sect's Mission Hall. He planned to take on a few missions to earn some points to exchange for items he needed.

Of course, the main reason was that he wanted to go out and get some fresh air, as the monotonous and boring daily Cultivation was not the life he yearned for.

The Mission Hall did not belong to the seven Main Peaks; it was where the Immortal Sword Sect issued missions. It was bustling with people, and many Disciples were looking for suitable missions.
