The news that Wu Ning had broken the highest record quickly swept through the entire human race.

The higher-ups of the various sects all stomped their feet and thumped their chests. If they had known that Wu Ning was so powerful, they would have gone all out to recruit Wu Ning into their own sects!

The sect masters of the four top-tier sects: Water Moon Tower, Liefeng Villa, and Yanyue Sect could not sit still any longer. They tore through the void and arrived outside the teleportation array that Wu Ning had descended into in the blink of an eye.

Before they arrived, they gave the elder who had gone to recruit Wu Ning a fierce scolding.

How could a bright diamond like Wu Ning wander outside? Even if they had to go all out, they had to recruit their own sect.

The moment Wu Ning stepped out of the teleportation array, he saw the big shots standing outside with flattering smiles on their faces. Sensing that something was wrong, he raised his foot and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the three of them.

The head of the Water Moon Tower, Shui Wuyue, could not help but say, “Hehehe, Wu Ning, congratulations on breaking the highest record. You’re really a young hero.”

This caused the other two big shots of the Liefeng Villa and the Yanyue Sect to look down on him and roll their eyes at him one after another.

Liefeng Villa’s leader, Lie Huo, lived up to his name and had a fiery personality. “Wu Ning, just say it. What would it take to have you join our sect?”

Yue Wumian, the head of the Yanyue sect, also nodded. “Wu Ning, just tell us what conditions you have. We will do our best to satisfy you.”

Wu Ning was still unmoved. “I’m sorry, I don’t have any intention of joining any sect now.”

The leader of the Water Moon Tower Sect said, “If you don’t have any now, then there will be others in the future. Then my Water Moon Tower will make a reservation first. Whenever you want to join our sect, we will be open for you at any time.”

Wu Ning facepalmed. What kind of big shots were these? Shouldn’t big shots be extremely cold and distant? At the very least, they should be emitting the aura of a big shot.

How could there be such a shameless person? He didn’t want to join now just to reject him. He even made a reservation. Why didn’t he make an appointment?

“I don’t want to join the sect because there are too many rules in your sects. It’s too restrictive. I’m used to being free by myself. I don’t want to be restricted by rules,” Wu Ning said.

The three big shots quickly said, “Don’t worry. If you join our sect, as long as you don’t kill people and start fires, of course, we also believe that you won’t kill people and start fires. You can do whatever you want. No one will restrict you.”

“And our sect can also be your backing. If you’re being hunted outside, you can go back to the sect to seek help and avoid being hunted.”

“Such good treatment, there should be some conditions, right?”

The sect master of Yanyue Sect shook his head and said slowly, “There are no requirements. I just hope that you will not forget that you were once a member of our sect when you have succeeded in your cultivation in the future.”

Lie Huo also quickly said, “Yes. Also, if you encounter fellow disciples who ask for help while you are training outside, you can lend them a hand.”

Water Moon Tower was not willing to be outdone. “We don’t have any requirements for you. On the contrary, we hope that you can grow quickly.”

Wu Ning was puzzled. They were already top-tier sects. Even if he succeeded in becoming a deity in the future, it would not be of much help to them.

“But there are three sects here. Which one should I join?” Wu Ning asked in return.

This was a problem. There were three sects, but there was only one Wu Ning. He couldn’t join all three sects, right? That wouldn’t do. One person couldn’t eat three meals.

Lie Huo said, “How about this? How about the three of us fight? Whoever wins, Wu Ning will join the sect. Is that okay?”

Shui Wuyue and Yue Wumian both nodded. Although this method was rough, it was indeed a good method. Strength spoke.

“Wu Ning, wait for us here for a while. Let’s go and have a fight. After the fight, I’ll bring you back to Water Moon Tower,” Shui Wuyue said with a smile.

Lie Huo could not help but retort, “Pfft, what do you mean? The one who’s bringing him back is me.”

Yue Wumian shook his head when he saw them like this. “What’s the point of fighting? We’ll find out who he’ll go with when the winner is decided, right?”

He took the lead and flew out to find an uninhabited place to fight. The three of them were all at Saint Realm. If they were to fight, it would definitely affect the surrounding area. Therefore, they had to find an uninhabited place.

The surrounding crowd exploded again.

“Damn, the three top-tier sect masters are fighting over Wu Ning. Why don’t I get this kind of treatment?”

“As long as you can break the record, you can also get such treatment.”

“This Wu Ning is out of the world. Even the top sects are fighting over him.”

“If I was as monstrous as Wu Ning, I would also want the three sect masters to fight before deciding which sect to join.”

“Forget it, how many times have you descended? You haven’t even gotten an S rating yet, and you still want an SSS rating? Stop daydreaming.”

After about half an hour, Yue Wumian flew over from afar. He did not see Liu Feng or Shui Wuyue.

Wu Ning could not help but ask, “Where are the other two sect leaders?”

Yue Wumian smiled and said, “Those two fellows were defeated by me. They said that they were too ashamed to come see you, so they left first.”

“Alright, let’s go. I’ll bring you back to the sect to take a look.”

Wu Ning nodded and said yes. His things were all in his interspatial ring. There was nothing much to pack, so he directly followed Yue Wumian back to Yanyue Sect.

After arriving at Yanyue Sect, Wu Ning found that there weren’t any grand palaces or buildings that Wu Ning had imagined. There were also no floating islands with immortal qi floating in the air. There were only simple and unadorned wooden houses.

Yue Wumian saw Wu Ning’s expression and guessed what he was thinking, “Although Yanyue Sect is the leader of the three top sects, our sect doesn’t believe in extravagance and waste. Furthermore, we have the treasures to repair those buildings and palaces. We might as well exchange them for resources for our disciples to cultivate. As long as we can live here, we don’t need to be extravagant.”

Wu Ning nodded in agreement. Indeed, as long as it was habitable, it was fine. After all, he could live anywhere.

“Moreover, don’t look at these ordinary small wooden houses. These small wooden houses are all surrounded by spirit gathering formations to gather spiritual energy all around us. It will allow you to cultivate better,” Yue Wumian continued.

Wu Ning was astonished. There were spirit gathering formations in every residence. It was truly a huge expenditure.

Yue Wumian said with a smile, “These spirit gathering arrays were set up with the treasures used to repair the palaces and buildings.”

“Go and pick a residence first. I’ll get someone to bring you to familiarize yourself with the sect.”

Wu Ning nodded and picked a residence randomly. Then, Yue Wumian left.

After Yue Wumian left, Wu Ning looked at the formation mark.
