Out of the range of the town, the birds flew higher and higher. Because of the protection of their mana, they could only hear the wind whoosh past them.

There were no clouds in the distance as they looked down at the sea of trees from the back of the vicious bird. It was a unique sight to behold, causing Yang Fan and the others to be deeply amazed by the wonders of nature.

Layers upon layers of mountains stretched endlessly. There was an endless expanse of green, with some parts even turning black. It was a little eerie. At this moment, Yang Fan was different from the majority of the people present. Because he had been in the Misty Dragon Mountain Range for a long time, he knew that these were probably terrifying demonic beasts that resided there.

After flying for about four hours, the fierce bird began to fly downwards slowly, and what entered his line of sight was a tall mountain, where the houses were arranged in an orderly fashion. Halfway up the mountain, he could see a large plaza, and in front of the plaza was an ancient door.

"Wow, is this the Imperial Sword Sect?" Many people were shocked by the scene before them and cried out in alarm.

The two disciples from the Sword Controlling Sect revealed proud looks, as if they had already gotten used to this matter.

There were nearly a thousand boys and girls gathered in the plaza. Their ages were about the same as Yang Fan's group, and they were around fifteen to sixteen years old when the vicious bird landed in the plaza. This immediately attracted many people's attention.

Someone then asked in doubt, "Eh, why is there another group? Didn't they say that they only recruit disciples from the five cities?"

Someone said complacently: "Tsk, that one is already out of date. It was always like this in the past, but in some remote places, even if they received news of the Imperial Sword Sect's disciple recruitment, when they reached the examination, it would be over.

Therefore, there were some elders in the sect who suggested that in order to get some good seedlings to grow, they should apply to the empire for an additional platform. However, the dynasty's people wouldn't let the sect take away all the talents, so they specially arranged for such a small place.

"Isn't this obviously embarrassing the Imperial Sword Sect?"

"Yeah."

"However, in order to not lose face, I heard that they sent an elder this time."

"This … Isn't it fine to send an elder to guard such a small place? Isn't it fine if the deacon go?" You need to go through so much trouble. "

"Sigh, you don't know that even those with low cultivation cannot suppress the scene. As for deacons with high cultivation, I've heard that they have one. However, they have recently gone into seclusion."

"How do you know so much?"

"Hehe, I have relatives in the Imperial Sword Sect, otherwise I wouldn't have come here. I've heard that the dynasty's Royal Academy is pretty good. Most of them are descendants of the royal family. If they are lucky, they might even be chosen by the dynasty. It is even possible for them to become kings or to become marquis. If they are even a bit better, then they will marry a woman from the royal family. " The speaker had a look of yearning on his face, and there was even a bit of saliva at the corner of his mouth.

"Hmph, you sound like everyone can enter. I heard that you have to pay tuition to enter that place and it's not cheap." It's not like the Imperial Sword Sect would be able to accept as long as you're qualified. You don't have to worry about the fees at all. " A person beside him interjected.

"Hehe, but there are still benefits! As long as you're a student of the academy, you'll be protected. Furthermore, if you have a teacher following you during your training, at least you won't have to worry about any danger to your life. " The person who spoke scratched his head in embarrassment, but tried his best to defend himself.

"In any case, I won't go. If I don't experience the Life and Death Trials, how will I become strong?"

"You will definitely become a powerful expert." The embarrassed youth from before glanced at him and mocked.

"You …"

"Look, they're coming."

"Look, there are two more beauties. "Wow, that green-clothed girl is simply a Heavenly Immortal!"

"That's right!" That's right! "I have never seen such a beautiful woman in my life."

The chattering of the crowd was naturally heard by everyone. They all looked in that direction, wanting to see what kind of breathtaking woman it was.

Seeing Zuo Jian's group walk towards the crowd, Yang Fan was stunned. So there were actually so many that had the talent to cultivate. He silently reminded himself not to be too blind.

"Greetings elder and deacon." Everyone bowed and greeted him.

"Quickly, look, it really does look like a Heavenly Immortal."

"That's right!" I think amongst the disciples this time, the young lady is the most breathtaking. "

"That may not be the case. It's not enough just to have looks. I heard that there are quite a few talented women who have joined the Imperial Sword Sect this time. I heard that they are the ones who have the highest possibility of entering the Central Region in the recent years. "

As everyone listened to him, they couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. The Central Ring was an unreachable existence for them!

"Haha, the left elder has returned. I wonder how many disciples with potential have been recruited this time." Amidst the crowd's discussion, seven old men in white robes flew over with swords in hand. One of them was an old woman. The few of them landed on the square.

The speaker was an old man in a wide robe. From the tone of his voice, there seemed to be some gap between the two of them. Otherwise, he would have said it out loud even though he knew that the place Zuo Jian was recruiting was not good.

"Qiu Wenhe, I know what you mean, but I'm afraid I've disappointed you this time." Zuo Jian's face did not show his joy or anger as he said this calmly.

"Hmph, I'd like to see what kind of talent there is in such a small place." The old man looked annoyed when he saw Zuo Jian calling out his name.

"Haha, then the two of you better not quarrel as soon as you meet each other."

"That's right!"

At this moment, the two old men came out and separated the two with a smile, afraid that the two of them would start fighting if they disagreed.

"Haha, what the Sixth and Fifth Elders said is right. You two shouldn't argue with each other, we couldn't help but let our disciples see a joke." A laugh came from afar. An old man with an immortal demeanor descended with a long sword in his hand, giving off an invisible aura.

"Greetings, Grand Elder." Zuo Jian and the other elders all came forward to pay their respects.

"So it's the Great Elder. No wonder it looks different." Xing Hu looked at the newcomer and muttered.

The Great Elder then turned to look at Yang Fan and his group. His eyes lit up as he said, "That's right. I didn't expect that there would actually be a little kid at the eighth level of the Postnatal realm."

"How is this possible? A fifth floor is a miracle, how can there be an eighth floor?" The old man called Qiu Wenhe expressed his confusion and personally went forward to probe with his spiritual energy. Then, his expression changed, "This … How is that possible? "

"Haha, nothing is impossible." When Zuo Jian saw Qiu Wenhe's disbelieving expression, he felt really good and laughed.
