424: Danyangzi's doubts
In front of the Qingtian Sect Mountain Gate.
The group led by the Elder in the Mid-stage Great Emperor Realm, following the coordinates given by the Saint Middle-aged Man, traveled for a period of time, tore through space, and appeared near Qingtian City.
"Hiss, is this the Qingtian Sect that possesses an Immortal?"
As the group walked out of the spatial rift and saw the environment surrounding the Qingtian Sect, they could not help but gasp.
After all, as the current hegemon of the continent, the environment where the Qingtian Sect was located was truly pitifully simple.
"Everyone, stop staring. Since we have all arrived at the Qingtian Sect together, let us go pay our respects at the Mountain Gate together!"
The group was stunned for a moment. The Elder in the Mid-stage Great Emperor Realm was the first to react, reminded the others, then walked to the Qingtian Sect Mountain Gate and knelt down with a thud.
"This humble one, Ji Ao, has come to pay respects at the gate. May I request the Fellow Daoist guarding the gate to come out and meet me!"
"Hiss, that Fellow Daoist has already knelt. We should hurry over and join him."
"Right, right. This Fellow Daoist is too impatient. If we are going to kneel at the Mountain Gate, we should do it together."
Seeing the Elder in the Mid-stage Great Emperor Realm kneeling alone in front of the Qingtian Sect Mountain Gate, the other Great Emperors came back to their senses, all revealing expressions of dissatisfaction.
Although the group was somewhat dissatisfied, their footsteps did not falter. Instead, they all quickly walked to the Qingtian Sect Mountain Gate, knelt down, and shouted toward the Qingtian Sect's Mountain Gate.
"This humble one, Yuan Liu!"
"This humble one, Wu Huaqing!"
"This humble one, Zhuang Qingyu, has come to pay respects at the gate. May I request the Fellow Daoist guarding the gate to come out and meet me!"
The group knelt on the ground, extremely respectful, preparing to wait for the gatekeepers inside the Qingtian Sect to come out before stating their desire to join the Qingtian Sect.
After all, according to the information learned from the Saint Middle-aged Man, the Great Emperors who had entered the Qingtian Sect previously had all used this method. Since those people could enter, they could certainly enter as well.
Not long after the group finished speaking.
Two Qingtian Guards who had finished converting their Immortal Essence walked out from inside the Qingtian Sect's Mountain Gate, coldly scanned the kneeling Great Emperors, and then one of them spoke, "You have come to pay respects at the gate, for what purpose?"
Because they had Cultivated to the Peak Great Emperor and finished converting their Immortal Essence, they could no longer Cultivate, so Li Big Saber sent them to the Mountain Gate to replace Zhang Wu and Liu Liu. Now, the Qingtian Sect's Mountain Gate was under their responsibility.
Feeling the aura of the two Qingtian Guards, it was as unfathomable as that of the Qingtian Guard on the immortal path.
The eyes of the group led by the Elder in the Mid-stage Great Emperor Realm revealed expressions of horror, and then they replied with somewhat trembling voices.
"Re... Reporting, Fellow Daoist, we wish to join the Qingtian Sect. We wonder if your Sect is accepting members?"
"Yes... Yes, we all want to join the Qingtian Sect!"
After saying this, the group hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look at the two Qingtian Guards at all.
Because this group could not discern the cultivation of these two Qingtian Guards, it meant that the two of them were at least at the Peak Great Emperor cultivation.
The Qingtian Sect actually used Peak Great Emperors to guard the gate. They now even doubted whether the Qingtian Sect would want them; after all, their cultivation was not even as good as the Qingtian Sect's gatekeepers, so they had absolutely no value.
"Oh? You want to join our Sect?"
Hearing the group's answer, the two Qingtian Guards looked at each other, and then the Qingtian Guard who had just spoken said indifferently from a high position, "Since you want to join our Sect, then follow me inside."
After the Qingtian Guard finished speaking, he turned around and stepped into the Qingtian Sect.
When they came to the Mountain Gate to take up their posts, Li Big Saber had already instructed them that anyone who wanted to join the Qingtian Sect could be brought directly to the square, and then he would be notified.
Therefore, he could not be bothered to waste words and prepared to take them up directly.
"Ah? We can just go in like this?"
Upon hearing this, the group led by the Elder in the Mid-stage Great Emperor Realm all looked up in confusion, somewhat doubting that they had heard correctly.
After just sensing the cultivation of the two Qingtian Guards, they had already given up any hope of joining the Qingtian Sect.
After all, even the gatekeepers of the Qingtian Sect were stronger than them, which meant they were not even qualified to guard the gate for the Qingtian Sect, so how could they have a chance to join the Qingtian Sect?
Now, hearing the Qingtian Guard say they were to be taken into the Sect without any questioning, they wondered if they were hallucinating because they wanted to join the Qingtian Sect too much.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and follow!" Seeing the group led by the Elder in the Mid-stage Great Emperor Realm kneeling on the ground in a daze, the other Qingtian Guard scolded.
"Ah, yes, yes, we are going in now."
Scolded by this Qingtian Guard, the group hurriedly stood up and walked quickly into the Qingtian Sect.
Although they felt something was wrong with this matter, they had been the ones to ask to join the Qingtian Sect; now, even if it were entering a tiger's den, they had no choice but to enter.
Because if they went in, there was still a possibility of living; if they did not go in, they feared they would be blown apart on the spot.
After all, that Peak Great Emperor beside the immortal path had died just because he did not listen. If they dared to toy with the people of the Qingtian Sect, then perhaps they would find it hard to even have a quick death.
More than a dozen people, trembling all over in fear, stepped into the Qingtian Sect.
As soon as they entered the Qingtian Sect, they were surrounded by the dense Spiritual Qi of the Qingtian Sect.
"Hiss, it is worthy of being a Sect that possesses an Immortal; this Spiritual Qi is truly terrifying."
"Yes, if we could Cultivate in this kind of Spiritual Qi environment, I wonder how fast our speed of Breakthrough would be."
The group looked at the surrounding Spiritual Qi, rolling like a tide, and could not help but gasp.
"Stop standing there in a daze, follow me!" Seeing this group come in, the Qingtian Guard who had entered earlier said coldly to the group.
"Yes, yes, we are leaving now, leaving now." The dozen or so people came back to their senses, followed timidly behind this Qingtian Guard, walked toward the Qingtian Sect square, and before long, appeared on the Qingtian Sect square.
"You are to wait here and are not allowed to move around. I will go invite our Sect's Grand Elder to come over." Once they arrived at the square, this Qingtian Guard dropped this sentence and headed toward the Qingtian Sect Elder area, preparing to report to Li Big Saber and have him come over to test this group of people.
Seeing the Qingtian Guard leave, the dozen or so people hung their heads, just like a group of Mortals who had entered an Immortal gate, not daring to even breathe loudly, waiting quietly.
While the group was waiting for Li Big Saber.
Danyangzi, who was in the middle of Alchemy in the Time Pagoda, suddenly changed his expression, looked strangely at the entrance of the Time Pagoda, and muttered.
"Strange, why do I feel a sense of inexplicable agitation in my Divine Soul, as if there is something outside waiting for me?"
As a Great Emperor Peak Expert, his Divine Soul would not experience this condition for no reason; there must be some Karma-related matter outside the Time Pagoda that involved him.
