465: Receive sect attire and select cultivation techniques

"Yes, Sect Master, we Disciples will definitely abide by the Sect rules!!"

Just as Jiang Chen's voice fell, over a hundred thousand newly admitted Disciples shouted in unison.

Even if Jiang Chen hadn't said it, they would still obey the Sect rules and ensure they didn't make even the slightest mistake.

After all, the terrifying Immortal Essence environment of the Qingtian Immortal Sect was a place many people dreamed of, and they had to cherish it.

"Mhm, next, the Grand Elder will arrange the subsequent matters for you."

Seeing the Disciples' earnest attitude, Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction, dropped that line, and then vanished from the square, returning to the Main Hall.

"Respectful farewell, Sect Master!" The hundreds of thousands of people bowed together once more toward the spot where Jiang Chen had disappeared.

"All Disciples, follow This Elder. After This Elder arranges your accommodation and you receive your Sect Attire and other items, I will take you to select your Cultivation Techniques and familiarize yourselves with the entire Sect."

Seeing Jiang Chen leave, Li Big Saber immediately took over, addressing the hundreds of thousands of people.

"Yes, Grand Elder!"

The hundreds of thousands of people responded and followed behind Li Big Saber, walking toward the Qingtian Immortal Sect Accommodation Area.

When the group arrived at the square of the Accommodation Area, Wang Three Spears and Bai Jie, two Outer Sect Elders, were already waiting there.

"Elder Wang, Elder Bai, these are the newly admitted Disciples. Please arrange their accommodation and distribute the Sect Attire and other items to them."

Leading the hundreds of thousands of Disciples before Wang Three Spears and Bai Jie, Li Big Saber spoke lightly.

As the Grand Elder, these matters were not within his scope of duties, so he would not overstep his bounds and do the work of the two of them.

"Yes, Grand Elder!"

The two cupped their fists in response, and after scanning the hundreds of thousands of Disciples, they each began to speak.

"All male Disciples, come to the left side!"

"All female Disciples, come to the right side!"

"Yes, Elder!"

As the two finished speaking, the hundreds of thousands of Disciples bowed and replied, immediately separating into two groups: men on the left and women on the right.

Seeing that the men and women had separated, the two did not hesitate. They each took out tens of thousands of sets of male and female Sect Attire, suspended them in front of the hundreds of thousands of Disciples, and then Wang Three Spears spoke slowly.

"This is the Sect Attire. Keep it safe for now, and find a chance to change into it after your accommodation is assigned."

"Now, each of you report your name, and This Elder will engrave your Identity Tokens!!"

After speaking, Wang Three Spears took out hundreds of thousands of Identity Tokens without recorded information from his Storage Space and suspended them above the heads of the Disciples.

He was preparing to wait for them to report their names, then extract a wisp of the Qi from their bodies to create the Qingtian Immortal Sect Identity Tokens.

"Disciple Feng Jie!"

"Disciple Ma Hang!"

"Disciple Li Qiuju!"

"Disciple Huang Xiting...!"

Hearing Wang Three Spears' instruction, the hundreds of thousands of Disciples stored their Sect Attire and immediately reported their names one by one.

The names of the hundreds of thousands of Disciples echoed above the Accommodation Area.

Wang Three Spears and Bai Jie immediately waved out tens of thousands of streams of power, extracting a wisp of Qi from each Disciple and sending it into the Identity Tokens, before engraving their names onto them.

"Alright, the Identity Tokens have been made. This is your proof of being a Disciple of the Qingtian Immortal Sect. If lost, you must immediately report it for replacement."

"Now, keep your Identity Tokens safe and follow us."

Wang Three Spears gave the instruction, and then he and Bai Jie led their respective Disciples to the Dormitory Buildings. After allocating their accommodation, they brought the people back to Li Big Saber.

"Reporting to the Grand Elder, all Disciples have been settled. We ask the Grand Elder to lead the Disciples to receive their Cultivation Techniques and familiarize themselves with the Sect Architecture."

Wang Three Spears and Bai Jie approached Li Big Saber, cupping their fists in salute.

At this moment, the hundreds of thousands of Disciples behind the two had all changed into their Sect Attire and were respectfully watching the three Elders.

"Mhm."

Li Big Saber nodded to the two Elders, then looked at the hundreds of thousands of Disciples behind them and said, "All Disciples, follow This Elder. This Elder will first take you to receive your Cultivation Techniques, and then we will familiarize ourselves with various places in the Sect."

"Yes, Grand Elder!"

The hundreds of thousands of Disciples responded, all looking excited, and followed behind Li Big Saber toward the Qingtian Immortal Sect's Cultivation Method Hall.

"Hehe, I wonder what Rank the Sect's Cultivation Techniques are. If we could Cultivate Tenth Rank Immortal Methods, our cultivation speed and fighting strength would increase significantly."

"That's right, Tenth Rank Immortal Methods are already considered Top Rank Immortal Methods. I heard that many Immortal Emperor bigshots only Cultivate Ninth Rank Immortal Methods."

"Hmph, the Qingtian Immortal Sect is an Imperial Sect. Even if they don't give us Tenth Rank Immortal Methods, they must have Ninth Rank Immortal Methods."

"Exactly. Sect Master said that we might even become Immortal Emperors or Divine Spirits in the future, so the Cultivation Techniques used in our Sect definitely won't be too poor."

The hundreds of thousands of Disciples followed behind Li Big Saber, discussing what Rank the Cultivation Techniques they were about to receive would be.

Immortal Methods in the Immortal Realm are divided into Twelve Ranks in total. Every three Ranks form one grade: Elementary, Intermediate, Advanced, and Top Rank. The difference between the Cultivation Techniques of each grade is vast.

For example, a person cultivating an Elementary Immortal Method, even if their Realm is slightly higher than someone cultivating an Intermediate Immortal Method, might not necessarily be the opponent of the person cultivating the Intermediate Immortal Method.

If a person cultivating a Top Rank Immortal Method were to fight someone cultivating an Elementary Immortal Method at the same Realm, it would be a crushing battle.

Therefore, they were very much looking forward to what Rank the Cultivation Techniques Li Big Saber would lead them to receive.

After all, the Qingtian Immortal Sect is an Imperial Sect, and the Sect Master can even defeat a Heavenly Emperor with a single move. The Cultivation Techniques practiced by its Disciples certainly wouldn't be too bad.

If they could obtain a Top Rank Immortal Method, smoke would rise from their ancestral graves.

In front of the Qingtian Immortal Sect's Cultivation Method Hall.

Li Big Saber brought the hundreds of thousands of Disciples neatly here.

Looking at the tightly shut hall door, Li Big Saber spoke lightly, "Elder Zhang, the newly admitted Disciples are here to select Cultivation Techniques. Please open the door and let them enter."

Now, the main Elders of the Qingtian Sect in the Lower Realm have all Ascended and returned to their respective posts. Thus, he couldn't just enter the Cultivation Method Hall casually; he had to greet Elder.

"Yes, Grand Elder!" Elder's voice came from inside the hall, and then the Cultivation Method Hall's door creaked open.

"Disciples, the Cultivation Method Hall is open. Go in and select your Cultivation Techniques yourselves. Once you have chosen, come out immediately to gather!"

Seeing the Cultivation Method Hall door open, Li Big Saber immediately turned around and spoke to the hundreds of thousands of Disciples.

"Yes, Grand Elder!"

The hundreds of thousands of Disciples replied in unison, all extremely excited, and rushed toward the Cultivation Method Hall.

After all the Disciples had entered, the door of the Cultivation Method Hall was closed.

"Hiss, where are the Cultivation Techniques the Grand Elder mentioned? Why don't I see any?"

"That's right, besides the Light Spots above our heads, there are no Cultivation Techniques here?"

Hundreds of thousands of people stood inside the Cultivation Method Hall, looking around blankly, trying to find the Immortal Methods.

Originally, Li Big Saber telling them to choose their Immortal Methods themselves had greatly excited them.

After all, when choosing Immortal Methods themselves, they could aim for the highest-grade Immortal Methods—picking whichever one they wanted.

But now, inside the Cultivation Method Hall, besides the Light Spots above their heads, there wasn't a single Cultivation Technique. Even if they wanted to choose an Elementary Immortal Method, they wouldn't have the chance.

"Stop looking around. The Immortal Methods are right above you. Close your eyes, concentrate, and communicate calmly. The Immortal Method suitable for you will actively fly into your mind."

Seeing the hundreds of thousands of Disciples looking around aimlessly like headless flies inside the Cultivation Method Hall, Elder, who was hidden in the dark, couldn't help but speak up to remind them.

"Hiss, so the Light Spots above our heads are the Immortal Methods! The Qingtian Immortal Sect has way too many Immortal Methods, doesn't it?"

"Exactly! It's already amazing for an Immortal Emperor Sect to have hundreds of thousands of Immortal Methods, but we have at least hundreds of millions of Light Spots above us. Isn't that too many?"

Hearing Elder's voice, the hundreds of thousands of Disciples all looked horrified as they gazed at the Light Spots above their heads.

Immortal Methods in the Immortal Realm are the foundation of a Sect's heritage. They are not easily leaked unless the Sect is annihilated and its resources stolen.

Therefore, for a power to possess hundreds of thousands or even millions of Immortal Methods is an astronomical number.

Now, the Cultivation Method Hall of the Qingtian Immortal Sect holds hundreds of millions of Immortal Methods, which is truly terrifying.

"Stop spacing out! Let's listen to the Elder and quickly communicate with the Light Spots above our heads to see what Cultivation Technique we can obtain."

While everyone was stunned looking at the Light Spots above their heads, a male Disciple in the crowd shouted, then quickly closed his eyes and tried to communicate with the Light Spots above.

"Right, right! Hurry and communicate calmly! I want a Tenth Rank Immortal Method!"

"Haha, I want a Tenth Rank Immortal Method too! With a Tenth Rank Immortal Method, even my grandfather wouldn't dare raise his voice at me."

Hearing the Disciple's shout, all the other Disciples instantly snapped out of their daze, closed their eyes excitedly, and calmly communicated with the Light Spots above their heads.

As the hundreds of thousands of Disciples began to communicate, the hundreds of millions of Light Spots inside the Cultivation Method Hall rapidly flickered. Soon, beams of light shot out, entering everyone's minds and causing bursts of exclamations.

"Holy crap! I actually got a Twelfth Rank Immortal Method! This is the highest-grade Immortal Method in the Immortal Realm, something only an Immortal Emperor can possess!!"

The male Disciple who communicated first froze in place, his face stunned after checking the Rank of the Cultivation Technique in his mind.

Originally, he would have been satisfied with just a Tenth Rank Immortal Method. He never expected the Light Spot that flew into his mind to be a Twelfth Rank Immortal Method.

One must know that the Twelfth Rank Immortal Method is the highest-grade Immortal Method in the Immortal Realm. Even Immortal Emperor magnates only perfected their Cultivation Techniques to the Twelfth Rank after Breaking Through to become Immortal Emperors.

Therefore, another name for the Twelfth Rank Immortal Method is the Immortal Emperor Method. It represents the lifelong effort of an Immortal Emperor and would never be easily passed on unless to the person they valued most.

Now that he had obtained a Twelfth Rank Immortal Method, it was equivalent to receiving the most important Legacy of an Immortal Emperor. He was soaring!

"Haha, hahahaha! I also got a Twelfth Rank Immortal Method! I got a Twelfth Rank Immortal Method!!"

"Gagaga! Mine is the same! Mine is also a Twelfth Rank Immortal Method! I'm going to be terrifyingly strong in the future!"

"Oh my heavens! Mine is too! Our Sect actually allows Outer Sect Disciples to Cultivate Twelfth Rank Immortal Methods! Isn't this ridiculously extravagant?"

After these male Disciples exclaimed, many Disciples who had communicated with the Light Spots checked the Rank of their Cultivation Techniques, and they all stood in place, shouting with surprise and joy.

"Damn it! Why did they all get Twelfth Rank Immortal Methods, but I only got Eleventh Rank?"

"Yeah, mine is Eleventh Rank too. What's going on?"

"Mine is Eleventh Rank too! What is the meaning of this?"

Watching the Disciples who received Twelfth Rank Immortal Methods shouting excitedly, other Disciples who had checked the Rank of the Cultivation Technique in their minds stared at them in confusion.

Although obtaining an Eleventh Rank Immortal Method far exceeded their expectations, hearing that other Outer Sect Disciples received a Twelfth Rank Immortal Method instantly made them feel that the Eleventh Rank Immortal Method they held was no longer appealing.

After all, since they were all Outer Sect Disciples, the Cultivation Technique Ranks should at least be the same. How could some receive Twelfth Rank and others Eleventh Rank?

"Enough, stop shouting and spacing out here. The Immortal Methods in the Cultivation Method Hall all possess Spirituality. What specific Immortal Method you receive is based on your talent. Those of you who received Eleventh Rank Immortal Methods, blame your own insufficient talent."

Seeing the Disciples who received Eleventh Rank Immortal Methods standing in place, looking confused, Elder couldn't help but speak up to explain.

As the Elder of the Cultivation Method Hall, his duty was to handle issues regarding Cultivation Techniques for the Disciples, so he had to explain their confusion.

"Hiss, so that's how it is! I thought the Immortal Methods in the Cultivation Method Hall were distributed randomly. I didn't realize they were distributed based on talent?"

"That's right! No wonder some people's Cultivation Techniques are stronger than others. So that's the reason!"

Hearing Elder's explanation, the Disciples who received Eleventh Rank Immortal Methods all showed a look of realization.

After Elder said this, they instantly realized the issue.

Because all the Disciples who received Twelfth Rank Immortal Methods were those who had climbed above the Seven Hundredth Step of the talent testing ladder.

And those of them who received Eleventh Rank Immortal Methods were all below the Seven Hundredth Step. Perhaps this was the reason for the difference in their Immortal Method Ranks.

As all the Disciples understood the rules for receiving Immortal Methods in the Cultivation Method Hall, the Disciples who received Eleventh Rank Immortal Methods no longer felt confused; their faces were filled with nothing but excitement.

After all, even an Eleventh Rank Immortal Method was a Treasure they never dared to dream of before. If their Old Ancestors knew they could Cultivate an Immortal Method of this Rank, they would be so excited they'd crawl out of their graves.

"Alright, since you have all received your Cultivation Techniques, don't linger in the Cultivation Method Hall. Head out now."

Seeing that the hundreds of thousands of Disciples had all received Cultivation Techniques suitable for them, Elder, who was in the shadows, gave a reminder and then opened the door of the Cultivation Method Hall.

"Thank you, Elder!"

The hundreds of thousands of people bowed and thanked Elder toward the direction his voice came from, before orderly walking out of the Cultivation Method Hall.

When the last person stepped out of the Cultivation Method Hall, the door of the Cultivation Method Hall heavily shut.
