Chapter 770: First Group of Disciples

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Night. A bright moon was hanging high in the sky.

Under the pale glow of the moon, a small and petite figure was currently meditating on a boulder.

She was Four Nine Immortal Sect’s first—and only—disciple, Ye Ling.

A faint amount of vital energy coursed through her body, and it was evident that her meridians had already been opened up. She could absorb vital energy into her body now, and she had officially become a cultivator of the First Stage Dao Body.

She raised her limpid and intelligent eyes and looked toward the white-clothed and otherworldly figure in the distance.

After a long time, she finally shook her head and came to her senses. “Master1, I’ll definitely cultivate earnestly,” she murmured. “I’ll strive to become stronger so that I can repay you for all that you’ve done for me…

“Ling’er definitely won’t disappoint you!”

Ye Ling came to a resolution in her mind, and a determined look appeared on her delicate little face. She focused her attention back on cultivation. Her cultivation aptitude was excellent, and she could definitely become a brilliant cultivator in the future!

…

The next morning.

A flat, frisbee-like machine flew out from the Phoenix Research Institute and hovered above Four Nine Immortal Sect.

It was hundreds of meters in diameter, and its sleek white body dazzled under the bright morning sunshine. It appeared especially sci-fi and futuristic.

Liu Qianhuan was extremely excited. “Wow! Isn’t that a UFO?!”

Xuanyuan Cheng also expressed his feeling of surprise. “Have we seen that thing somewhere before?”

“There was a similar looking UFO in Celestial Immortal Shou Yang’s tomb,” An Lin said.

They all came to a sudden realization. No wonder it looked so familiar!

Xuanyuan Cheng and the others recalled the terror of being dominated by the bald male. Tang Ximen, on the other hand, recalled the horrors of lying on the stretcher like a useless bludger.

Whoosh!

The white UFO disappeared in the clouds and flew toward the distance at an insanely quick speed.

Today was the day where the prospective disciples would be taking their trial.

According to an unofficial estimate, the number of people who wanted to enter the Four Nine Immortal Sect numbered in the millions!

Males, females, old or young… These prospective disciples came from all walks of life.

After five days of careful selection, Dong Guo, White Scale Wolf God, Liu Qianhuan, Su Qianyun, Xiao Chou, and Xiao Ze whittled the field down to tens of thousands of disciples. These were individuals who had reached the minimum criteria.

Right now, Bai Ling was heading toward the Purple Star State’s selection grounds to bring the tens of thousands of prospective disciples over to undergo the final trial. In the end, An Lin and the others—who all believed in elitist education—would perhaps only accept a few dozen individuals as core disciples. As for the acceptance rate of normal disciples who would be responsible for dealing with more trivial matters, that would be completely up to their moods.

After whittling down the field of prospective disciples, Xiao Ze teleported back to report to An Lin.

“Master, the disciples who will attend the final trial include sixteen Soul Formation Stage cultivators, three hundred and nine Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators, two thousand three hundred and thirty-three Dao Body Stage cultivators who are above the Sixth Stage Dao Body, five thousand two hundred and one Dao Body Stage cultivators who are below the Sixth Stage Dao Body, and one thousand two hundred and ten mortals who have decent aptitude…

“Um… Master, I saw a supreme-grade female as well! Are you interested?” he asked in a whisper as he shuffled toward An Lin.

As he spoke, he glanced at the distant Xu Xiaolan out of the corner of his eyes.

Uh-huh, Master’s wife didn’t hear that.

An Lin chuckled. What kind of person was he? How could he target the disciples of his own sect?

“Little Xiao, I’m not scolding you, but you’re already a pavilion lord. How come you’re still so immature?

“If we want to grow our sect, we need to create a good and harmonious atmosphere! If you become so giddy after seeing a beautiful female, how are you going to act as a role model for others?

“We need to lead by example and strive to be honest and upright. This is the atmosphere that a top cultivation sect should aim to create, understand?” An Lin didn’t hold back in his scathing reprimand.

Xiao Ze lowered his head in embarrassment. “Master is correct.”

“So, tell me which female it was who made you so giddy!” An Lin stood up straight as he asked this.

Xiao Ze was momentarily dazed. “She’s a cultivator from the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas,” he whispered. “Not only is she breathtakingly beautiful, but she’s also supremely talented and extraordinarily powerful. Her bloodline is also extremely pure. As long as she cultivates earnestly, she even has a chance to reach the Dao Integration Stage. What do you say? Is she a supreme-grade female?”

An Lin was stunned. “Such a capable individual actually wants to join our sect? Is the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas willing to let her go? That’s a talent who might reach the Dao Integration Stage!”

He wasn’t belittling his own sect; it was just that there was absolutely no need for that female to join them. What was in it for her?

How powerful was a Dao Integration Stage cultivator? One such cultivator could match an entire super sect!

“This is the most exciting part of her story! I heard that due to some reasons, she fled from the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas not long ago. Otherwise, there’s no way we would be able to snatch such a prodigy over. How’s that? Are you interested, Master?” As he spoke, Xiao Ze started making strange faces at An Lin. It was as though he was saying, “I’m sure you understand.”

When An Lin heard this, he immediately felt that it sounded familiar.

“Say, is this supreme-grade dragon female that you speak of called Bei Lian?”

Xiao Ze was startled. “Holy f*ck! Master, how did you know?”

An Lin: “…”

At this instant, the white UFO reappeared in the sky. It started to descend slowly.

Ten thousand cultivators who were about to undergo the final trial appeared on the territory of the Four Nine Immortal Sect.

A stunningly attractive female who appeared like an icy lotus appeared before Xiao Ze and An Lin.

Xiao Ze pointed toward the female and was just about to speak.

However, that female had already started walking toward them. Her mesmerizing eyes swam over An Lin’s body, and she gracefully extended her delicate hand. “An Lin, we meet again!”

An Lin smiled as he shook her hand. “Dragon Princess, long time no see. Welcome to Four Nine Immortal Sect!”

Bei Lian covered her mouth and chuckled. “I hope that Sect Leader An Lin isn’t contemptuous of me.”

“How could I be? If you want to join my sect, I’ll let you enter through the back door! We can do away with the trials and whatnot!” An Lin spread his arms as he spoke lavishly.

“Nah, I’ll play by the rules. Sect leaders need to maintain their impartiality. You can’t break the rules for me.” Bei Lian’s aloof expression had already been replaced by a carefree smile.

“That’s fine by me. With your strength, you’ll pass the final trial easily. That’s right, how have you been these two years?”

“Me…”

…

Xiao Ze’s eyes were wide with shock. He glanced at An Lin, then he glanced at Bei Lian.

The two of them were conversing cheerfully, and he couldn’t join in on the conversation at all. He suddenly felt like he was an extra…

At the same time, Xiao Ze also felt a great sense of admiration for his master.

As expected of his master.

After finally discovering a stunning female, it turned out that she was actually Master’s friend! He had female friends spread all throughout the world; he truly was a ladies man… Xiao Ze was extremely envious!

He couldn’t help but glance toward Master’s wife.

M-hm, her eyes were filled with a killing intent…

An Lin suddenly shuddered for some reason, and he immediately chuckled. “Bei Lian, I wish you all the best for your upcoming trial. I look forward to having you join our large family!”

This was a clear sign that An Lin wanted to finish the conversation. Bei Lian smiled and walked back to the group of disciples.

Xiao Ze sighed with emotion upon seeing this, and he started to feel a bit of sympathy for his master. So what if he was a ladies man? A single glare from his wife, and they would all be dead…
