Chapter 458: Famous Hao Tian
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Green Cloud Sword Sect was extremely attractive to sword cultivators from various domains as a sect established by the number one sword cultivator, Ye Qiubai.
It was not just the younger generation of sword cultivators.
There were also disciples of secret clans and sword cultivators from some aristocratic families who came to participate.
There were also some hidden experts and elders of other sects.
He wanted to come to the Green Cloud Sword to apply to be a Revered Elder.
Ye Qiubai stood on the high platform and looked down.
Behind him, Liang Feng rubbed his chin and said with a smile, “Looks like there are quite a few good seedlings this time.”
Jian Chaomian also nodded and said, “More than when the sect was first established.”
“Isn’t this all thanks to a certain boss who doesn’t do anything?”
Liang Feng glanced at Ye Qiubai and said meaningfully, “If someone comes back often, 1 reckon it won’t be long before all the genius sword cultivators in the Wilderness Region hear the news and come.”
Ye Qiubai smiled bitterly and said, “Alright, alright. Don’t mock me. I was wrong. 1 admit my mistake.”
“I’ll give you some compensation when the time comes, okay?”
Upon hearing this, Jian Chaomian and the other man look at each other and smile.
He revealed a smile that his scheme had succeeded and he had reached a consensus.
“Alright, it’s already noon. We should go over.”
Green Cloud Sword Sect’s recruitment was divided into three stages.
The first test was based on one’s talent.
Realms were not important. Talent was the most important.
As long as one was talented and had sufficient resources, one’s cultivation level would increase sooner or later.
Testing one’s talent was also the simplest.
Lu Changsheng set up a sword stone that could detect talents.
There were nine levels on the sword stone.
The participant was able to carve a layer of marks on each layer of the sword stone with his sword.
The more layers one could carve, the stronger one’s talent in the Sword Dao would be.
Liang Feng and Jian Chaomian had tried it before.
The two of them had carved their own marks on the fifth level.
The two of them were known as the demonic sword cultivators of the
Wilderness Region back then.
However, he could only carve down four levels.
It was obvious how difficult it was to carve his sword qi on the ninth level.
As for the second stage, it was perseverance.
The path of cultivation was difficult to begin with.
With talent but no perseverance, the upper limit would be very low.
The third stage was also the most important stage.
Character, the path of the Sword Dao.
It was the most mindful. If one could not move according to one’s heart, one would press forward.
Then the path of the sword would go astray.
If he used the Sword Dao to commit evil, it was even more impossible for the Green Cloud Sword Sect to take him in as a disciple.
At the mountain gate, when Ye Qiubai and the other two arrived, the sword cultivators who wanted to join the Green Cloud Sword Sect immediately bowed to Ye Qiubai.
“Greetings, Senior Ye!”
The sound waves shook the sky.
Ye Qiubai pressed his hands together and smiled. “Today is the day of our
Green Cloud Sword Sect’s recruitment. If you want to join the sect, 1 believe you know the rules. Let’s begin.”
At the mountain gate, there were nine sword stones.
As long as it was engraved on the third level, it would be considered a success.
Seeing this, the sword cultivators all walked to the sword stone.
He began to carve a sword upwards.
A few elders were checking at the side.
“Eastern region, thunderclouds, second level, failure.”
“Western Region, Xiang He. First level, failure.”
“The Northern Region did not leave any sword marks in the early Ming Dynasty. Failure…”
The examination of the Sword Stone was enough to eliminate more than half of the sword cultivators.
Ye Qiubai couldn’t help but shake his head when he saw this scene.
Indeed, the foundation of the Wilderness Region was still a little lacking.
Compared to the Boundless World, there were too few people who could truly be called geniuses.
The sword cultivators below watched this scene with bitter smiles.
“The thunderclouds in the eastern region are a family of sword cultivators. The young master of the Lei Clan is known as the genius of the Thunder Sword, but he still failed here.”
“Xiang He is the same. He has participated in many mystic realms and is famous. It seems like he still can’t meet the standards of the Green Cloud Sword Sect.”
“Definitely. The Green Cloud Sword Sect was founded by Senior Ye, so the requirements will naturally be very high.”
“I wonder who will be the first to pass?”
Liu Ziru disappeared on the spot as soon as he finished speaking.
The Sword Intent of the sword stone in the middle increased greatly!
Everyone looked over.
The woman in front of the sword stone had actually carved the fourth level!
“Who is that person? She’s so beautiful…”
“You don’t even know her? She’s the number one beauty of the Southern Region, Xin Hongyi!”
“Isn’t she from the Hidden Dao Academy?”
“The Hidden Dao Academy doesn’t restrict students from joining other factions.”
Ye Qiubai couldn’t help but smile bitterly when he saw this scene.
Liang Feng and Jian Chaomian looked at Ye Qiubai ambiguously.
“Some people are really lecherous.”
“Miss Xin has rejected countless suitors over the years. Even the people from her family’s marriage alliance were ruthlessly rejected by her. 1 wonder who she’s waiting for.”
Ye Qiubai was helpless.
Why did he show mercy?
It was nothing more than a fight and a rescue.
That was all.
Xin Hongyi raised her head and looked in Ye Qiubai’s direction. Then, she walked into the mountain gate and entered the second round.
“Central Region, Vast Heaven, sixth level passed!”
Sixth level?
Everyone looked in Hao Tian’s direction, their faces filled with shock.
“Who is this person? Why have I never heard of him?”
“He’s probably a rogue cultivator, but he’s actually engraved on the sixth level?”
Liang Feng and Jian Chaomian were also a little surprised.
His talent in the Sword Dao was actually higher than theirs?
Ye Qiubai smiled and said, “Looks like a good seedling has appeared. However, his sword intent is indeed quite interesting.”
Everyone’s Sword Intent was actually different.
Some people were fierce, but their Sword Intent was extremely sharp and aggressive.
Some people were good at scheming, so the Sword Intent leaned towards defense.
“Why? You want to nurture him yourself?”
Ye Qiubai smiled. “Let’s take a look first.”
After that, only loo people passed the first round.
Hao Tian was also the most talented among them.
After entering the second stage, the elder asked, “Haotian, which eider do you want to join in the future? Jian Chaomian or Liang Feng?”
Hao Tian shook his head and said, “I don’t want any of them.”
“Oh? Then who do you want to worship? Or do you want to cultivate by yourself?”
Hao Tian looked at the peak of the Green Cloud Sword Sect.
His eyes were filled with ambition!
“I want to become the Sect Master’s disciple. Only Senior Ye is worthy of being my master.”
The elders were all stunned.
Then, he smiled bitterly and said, “Sect Master doesn’t accept disciples.”
Hao Tian shrugged and said, “We have to try.”
On the other side, Ning Chenxin arrived at the Study Room.
The Study Room’s encampment was very simple.
There was a simple courtyard around for the people who cultivated the Confucian Dao in the Study Room.
In the center was a huge library with countless books in it!
In the past, people who cultivated Confucianism could be seen reading here.
It was rather quiet.
However, the Study Room was filled with a solemn atmosphere.
Those Confucian cultivators actually had some panic on their faces!
Ning Chenxin walked over and waved his hand.
Beams of white light scattered down.
Immediately, the panic on their faces dissipated.
His heart calmed down.
“Senior Ning is here!”
Ning Chenxin asked, “Tell me the whole story.”
Ning Chenxin could not ignore such a matter in the Study Room!
