401: A hundred billion cultivators gather at Qingtian

While enjoying Liu Shu's foot bath service,

Jiang Chen took out the mementos left by his cheap Revered Master and began to reminisce.

He had to admit, even though his cheap Revered Master had tricked him into coming up the mountain and then died, the mementos he left behind were quite good.

Seeing Jiang Chen looking at those unhealthy books again, Liu Shu pouted, looking unhappy.

She had served Jiang Chen for so long, yet he was still reading these books instead of doing anything substantial. She really didn't know what Jiang Chen was thinking.

While Jiang Chen was enjoying Liu Shu's thoughtful service,

across the entire continent, Cultivators who had heard of the Qingtian Sect's deeds all brought their juniors and rushed towards the Qingtian Sect like their lives depended on it, wanting to stay near the Qingtian Sect and wait for it to recruit Disciples.

As these Cultivators continuously arrived around the Qingtian Sect, they instantly packed the entire Qingtian City, making it incredibly crowded.

At the Qingtian City Gate.

Two Cultivators from the Gu Family and Mu Family, responsible for Qingtian City, stood at the city gate with melancholic expressions, looking at the dense crowd of Cultivators lining up to enter the city.

"Alas, the speed of the city's expansion can't keep up with the increasing number of incoming residents."

"Indeed, the greater the Qingtian Sect's reputation, no matter how much we expand this city, it still won't be able to accommodate all the Cultivators from the entire continent."

The two sighed as they watched the Cultivators from all over the continent desperately trying to enter the city.

Although they had raised the entry fee again and again, it was now several million Top-Grade Spirit Stones, but wealthy Families from all over the continent still poured into the city.

Now, the entire Qingtian City, let alone inns, was packed with Cultivators from all over the continent, making it almost impossible to walk.

As the two sighed, a young man from the Gu Family approached them, bowed, and reported, "Reporting, two City Lords, there is truly no more space in Qingtian City. If we let more people in, I'm afraid there will be people trampling each other."

Upon hearing this, the Gu Family's City Lord immediately shouted at the young man, "Since there's no more space, why are you still reporting to me? Why aren't you quickly stopping the fee collection for entry and telling these people to find a place to rest on the nearby mountains themselves?"

Although these people entering the city contributed a large amount of Spirit Stones to the Qingtian Sect, what Qingtian City lacked most now was not Spirit Stones, but spacious room.

After all, even if he didn't consider these Cultivators from all over the continent, he had to consider the families of the Qingtian Sect's Disciples, to prevent too many people from entering the city and affecting their lives.

"Yes, City Lord, I will go and stop collecting entry fees now."

After being shouted at by his own City Lord, the young man from the Gu Family immediately bowed in agreement, walked to the city gate, and shouted loudly, "Everyone, stop queuing! Qingtian City is full. Please find a place to settle in the nearby mountain ranges yourselves."

After saying this, the young man directly ordered the fee collectors to leave, not giving those queuing to enter the city any chance to object.

"Damn it, young sirs, come back quickly! We've already queued up to the city gate, at least let us in!"

"That's right, young sirs, we'll double the Spirit Stones, just let us in!"

Seeing the young man simply declare that Qingtian City was full and then take the fee collectors into the city,

the Cultivators who had queued up to the city gate all shouted unwillingly.

They had already inquired clearly when they arrived: anyone who entered Qingtian City would be among the first to participate in the test once the Qingtian Sect opened its Mountain Gate to recruit Disciples.

Now they had queued up to the city gate but couldn't enter, which was truly bad luck.

"Alas, let's go, let's go. Since Qingtian City isn't accepting anyone, we'll go to the nearby mountain ranges and find a good spot."

"Right, right, hurry and occupy a spot in the nearby mountain ranges. If we're any later, there won't even be any spots left in the nearby mountain ranges."

"Quick, quick, quickly occupy the best spots in the nearby mountain ranges."

Seeing that the people from Qingtian City no longer paid attention to them, the people queuing to enter the city,

all scattered and quickly occupied the closest spots near the Qingtian Sect.

Although the people from Qingtian City didn't give them any Face, they dared not cause any trouble.

Because they had long since found out that Qingtian City was entirely inhabited by the families of Qingtian Sect Disciples.

Even if they had eaten Immortal Courage, they wouldn't dare to take any drastic actions against the families of Qingtian Sect Disciples.

After all, the Qingtian Sect truly had Immortals. Even if they ate ten Immortal Courage pills, they wouldn't dare to offend the people of the Qingtian Sect.

As this group of people who had been queuing all went to settle in the nearby mountain ranges, the later arriving Cultivators also went to various mountain ranges to settle, preparing to stay there long-term, waiting for the Qingtian Sect to open its Mountain Gate and recruit Disciples.

Time flew by, and soon half a month had passed.

The mountain ranges near the Qingtian Sect were occupied by at least hundreds of billions of Cultivators from various continental plates.

And Cultivators were still continuously descending from the sky near the Qingtian Sect, making the already somewhat crowded mountain ranges even more congested.

Some powerful Families even fought fiercely to snatch positions in the mountain ranges near the Qingtian Sect, leading to constant battles outside the Qingtian Sect.

"Alas, why isn't the Qingtian Sect opening its doors to recruit Disciples yet? If they don't recruit soon, who knows how many Cultivators will die every day fighting for territory."

"Indeed, all capable Cultivators on the entire continent have come towards the Qingtian Sect. Who knows how many battles occur every day, yet no one from the Qingtian Sect comes out to manage it."

"I heard that the last time the Qingtian Sect recruited Disciples was over a month ago. Who knows when the next recruitment will be."

Watching the constant battles in the nearby mountain ranges, some Cultivators who were not involved all stared at the Qingtian Sect Mountain Gate, hoping that the Qingtian Sect would recruit Disciples soon so they could be relieved early.

After all, if the Qingtian Sect didn't recruit Disciples, and no one managed these nearby mountain ranges, it would eventually affect them.

Inside the Qingtian Sect Mountain Gate.

Zhang Wu and Liu Liu sensed everything outside the Sect and simultaneously opened their eyes.

"Brother Zhang, so many people have gathered outside the Mountain Gate again. We should report to the Elder. Even if they don't recruit Disciples, someone should be sent out of the Sect to maintain order," Liu Liu said to Zhang Wu.

"Mm, Brother Liu, then I will go report to the Grand Elder this time," Zhang Wu nodded, stood up directly, and walked towards the Qingtian Sect's interior.

Qingtian Sect Elder District.

Zhang Wu appeared before Li Big Saber's residence, bowed, and reported, "Reporting to Grand Elder, hundreds of billions of Cultivators have gathered outside the Mountain Gate, waiting for our Qingtian Sect to recruit Disciples. Large numbers of battles are occurring daily, disturbing the peace around our Qingtian Sect."

"Oh, so many Cultivators have come again?" Hearing Zhang Wu's words, Li Big Saber, who was trimming grass with his Big Saber, immediately swept his Divine Sense outside the Mountain Gate to investigate the situation Zhang Wu described.

After carefully observing the situation outside the Mountain Gate for a while, Li Big Saber put away his Big Saber and said to Zhang Wu outside his residence, "Mm, This Elder understands. This Elder will now go report to the Sect Master and come up with a solution."

With so many people gathered outside the Mountain Gate now, he definitely had to consult Jiang Chen.

Whether to open the Sect for recruitment or do something else, it all depended on Jiang Chen's wishes.
