122: The second round of apprenticeship begins

"Hehe, I finally managed to fool him."

Watching Gu Chen leave the Time Pagoda, Night Owl revealed a smiling expression and stepped onto the second floor of the Time Pagoda.

He had anticipated that Gu Chen wouldn't dare to seek confirmation from Jiang Chen, which was why he stubbornly denied it.

He was definitely going to enjoy a year of barbecue.

As Night Owl went up to the second floor of the Time Pagoda, there were no longer any Inner Sect Disciples or Personal Disciples on the first floor.

A group of Outer Sect Disciples stared at the entrance to the second floor, their faces filled with envy.

Previously, Personal Disciples had an advantage over them in terms of resources and elders; now, even in cultivation environment, Personal Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples had completely surpassed them.

A thousand times and two thousand times the flow of time was a world of difference.

In the future, the cultivation gap between them and the Personal Disciples, as well as the Inner Sect Disciples, would only grow wider.

"Brother Wang Ba, don't keep a straight face. Aren't I here with you? Let's cultivate hard together."

In a corner of the first floor.

Kun Kun patted Wang Ba's shoulder and comforted him in a low voice.

"Get lost, damn it! If it weren't for you, I would also be in the two-thousand-times space right now."

Wang Ba shook off Kun Kun's arm and walked away angrily.

"Brother Wang Ba, I was wrong, isn't that enough? Don't ignore me, wait for me!"

Seeing Wang Ba get angry, Kun Kun quickly chased after him, continuing to comfort Wang Ba.

On Qingtian Sect's plaza.

Beside Jiang Chen stood two majestic middle-aged men, who were the two Peak Great Emperors he had just summoned.

"Subordinate, Great Cannon Zhou!"

"Subordinate, Liu Tiezhu, greetings, Sect Master!"

The two men bowed respectfully to Jiang Chen.

"Mm, you may rise."

Jiang Chen nodded, called Li Big Saber over, and prepared to have him take the two to make arrangements, assigning them wherever there was a need.

As for their names, he had long become immune.

Let alone being called Great Cannon Zhou, even if they were called Sky-Piercing Cannon, his heart would no longer ripple in the slightest.

"Subordinate, Li Big Saber, greets Sect Master. May I know what instructions Sect Master has?"

Li Big Saber came to Jiang Chen's side and bowed respectfully.

"Mm."

Jiang Chen pointed at Great Cannon Zhou and Liu Tiezhu.

"Big Saber, these two are new elders. Take them to familiarize themselves with the sect, and if there's an opening, arrange a position for them."

"Yes, Sect Master!" Li Big Saber did not hesitate and immediately bowed to receive the order.

"You may all go!" Jiang Chen waved his hand, signaling that the three could leave.

"Subordinates take their leave!"

The three bowed again, then followed Li Big Saber off the plaza.

Watching the three depart.

Jiang Chen also returned to the Main Hall, ready to enjoy life.

Now, the sect was peaceful, and more and more people gathered outside the sect. When the sect opened to recruit disciples, it would be another wave of treasure chests.

So, he had to enjoy himself during this period to be energetic when opening treasure chests.

Days passed, and soon it was the day for the sect to open and recruit disciples.

There was no commotion within Qingtian Sect; those who cultivated cultivated, those who did odd jobs did odd jobs, and those who enjoyed enjoyed.

However, outside Qingtian Sect's Mountain Gate, it was a completely different scene.

The place was bustling with people; hundreds of billions of cultivators filled the mountain range for tens of thousands of miles outside the Mountain Gate.

They all stared intently in the direction of Qingtian Sect's Mountain Gate, waiting for the people recruiting disciples to emerge.

"Oh my goodness, it's a disaster! Why aren't the Qingtian Sect people coming out yet? I haven't bathed in a month."

"Wuwuwu, this servant has also been holding it in for a month. This servant can't bear it anymore!"

"Please come out and recruit disciples soon; we really can't hold on any longer."

Some cultivators, seeing no movement from within Qingtian Sect's Mountain Gate, all let out mournful cries.

Because too many people came for Qingtian Sect's disciple recruitment this time.

They were basically all standing, with no place to sit, let alone do anything else.

If Qingtian Sect wasn't an Imperial Sect, they would have long given up, relying solely on their belief that they must enter an Imperial Sect.

And in the crowd.

Huyan Xiaoyao and her maid also looked at the Mountain Gate with a resentful expression.

Originally, the two of them just wanted to come and watch the excitement and see what was so special about Qingtian Sect.

They hadn't expected Qingtian Sect's disciple recruitment assembly to be so popular, with hundreds of billions of people attending.

It made them stand there for a full month.

"Miss, let's go. This Qingtian Sect is so untrustworthy. They said they would recruit disciples today, but no one has come out yet," complained Little Lotus, the maid beside Huyan Xiaoyao.

She didn't understand what appeal Qingtian Sect had that Huyan Xiaoyao would rather stand here for a month than wait for Qingtian Sect to open its Mountain Gate and recruit disciples.

Upon hearing this, Huyan Xiaoyao rapped Little Lotus on the head with a knuckle and scolded her impatiently, "Go, go, go, all you know is to go. You've said that hundreds of times this month. If you say it again, I'll sell you to someone else to be their wife when we get back."

Huyan Xiaoyao deliberately widened her eyes at Little Lotus, trying to scare her into silence.

Of course, she wasn't just here to watch the excitement; if she had the chance, she even wanted to participate in Qingtian Sect's disciple recruitment and become a Qingtian Sect disciple.

After all, a mysterious sect that could produce rare Immortal Crystals and Great Emperors—she really wanted to go in and investigate.

"No, Miss, Little Lotus won't say it anymore. Please don't sell Little Lotus to someone else."

Hearing Huyan Xiaoyao threaten to sell her, the maid Little Lotus turned pale with fright.

She had followed Huyan Xiaoyao since childhood. Although she was just a maid, even the disciples of the Holy Lands in the Central Continent might not have her treatment.

So, if Huyan Xiaoyao really sold her, she would definitely have a miserable life.

"Hmph, if you know fear, then shut up. When your Miss gets serious, she even beats her own grandfather."

Huyan Xiaoyao threatened her again, then continued to look towards Qingtian Sect's Mountain Gate.

And Little Lotus stood obediently in place, not daring to complain anymore.

Not long after, under everyone's gaze.

Li Big Saber, taking small steps, with his hands behind his back, slowly flew into the air outside the Mountain Gate.

When the people below saw Li Big Saber appear, they immediately became excited.

"Oh, he's out! Qingtian Sect's Great Elder is out! He presided over the last disciple recruitment."

"Wuwu, they're finally going to start recruiting disciples. I've waited so bitterly."

"Haha, if my boy can enter Qingtian Sect, then this month of holding it in won't be in vain for this old man."

"Sister-in-law, the disciple recruitment assembly is about to begin. I definitely won't disappoint you."

Hundreds of billions of cultivators all looked up, happily watching Li Big Saber in the air.

A month of waiting would finally yield results.
