AWB Chapter 2 Sect Assembly!
Chapter 2 Sect Assembly!
Nine bells rang out from the sky, followed by a beam of white light shooting straight into the clouds. Various strange phenomena swirled in the sky, like a white cloth splashed with colorful paintings!
Under the sunlight, an opening slowly appeared, like a new sprout, revealing a heavenly palace atop the clouds, filled with rare and exotic creatures, while the large sacrificial plaque in the center was dazzling and eye-catching.
Dragons and phoenixes flew out from the central pillar, singing in harmony.
Colorful lights accompany the flowing rosy clouds, and drifting clouds chase the shimmering light. Dragons and phoenixes descend in a graceful arc, transforming into long white jade steps that float upwards. The magnificent palaces and pavilions surpass all other sights in the world.
The Jade Palace in the heavens, with its twelve towers and five cities. An immortal touched my head, granting me eternal life.
What was the point of all that we went through before? Wasn't it all for this moment?
Cheng Jiu's desire for immortality reached its peak; if he didn't cultivate, he would become an immortal.
Wouldn't that be a waste of this life? Her eyes gradually became firm and clear.
"Every time I see the Ascension Platform open, I'm completely stunned!" a local exclaimed. No matter how many times they see it, the sense of awe only grows stronger!
The person next to him nodded, "That's right, it's said that this used to be the legendary Ascension Platform! Back then, all the ninth-level weapon-refining masters worked together to refine it, and the Heavenly Dao baptized it."
The quality of this Ascension Platform far surpasses that of any magical treasure in the world! Everyone knows its origin, but every time it is mentioned, the sense of pride is endless and makes people feel incredibly proud!
The person next to him nodded at first, then looked at him with disdain, saying, "You always bring up this old, tired story."
"Hmph, didn't you nod every time?" The two seemed to have a very good relationship. He glanced at Cheng Jiu, who was still in a daze, and said, "Hey! Kid, stop daydreaming. We're about to climb the Ascension Ladder. Don't be late."
Cheng Jiu snapped out of his daze and hurriedly expressed his gratitude. By this time, many people had already ascended the Ascension Ladder. The Ascension Ladder is only open for one hour; once it's closed, it closes. Sometimes, besides talent, luck is also very important. The key is that if you truly have the will to cultivate immortality, you will definitely arrive early.
The ladder to the Immortals may look narrow compared to the massive crowd, but that's not actually the case at all.
Despite the large influx of people, it was only a fleeting moment before they entered. Within half an hour, all the children from Chengdu who had come seeking immortality had ascended the Ascension Ladder.
It looks crowded, but in reality, there is a path in front of everyone. As a group of people walk uphill, some people gradually fall down.
It may look like there are 99,999 steps, but actually climbing them isn't tiring.
Anyway, Cheng Jiu jogged the whole way, as if he were walking on clouds, his mind filled with joy and anticipation.
Less than one percent of the children fell behind from the line.
These children may not understand, but their parents know that all of them will be sent to the mortal realm.
This ladder is called the Ascension Ladder. Most children are naive and romantic, but there are always children who harbor malice or evil intentions.
You may not realize it, but the Immortal Ladder will filter them out.
What? You mean you can properly teach and correct them?
Sorry, but the cultivation world has a population of over 100 million. Most of them may not be very talented, but almost all of them are capable of cultivation.
While most people in the mortal realm may not be able to cultivate, there are still hundreds of billions of people in the world.
The number of geniuses born from this pool is countless. There's really no need to be so foolish as to try and correct those disciples who are born with crooked minds.
Based on the order in which you ascend the Ascension Platform, a jade tablet will be automatically generated in the sky, indicating the order in which you will be tested. Cheng Jiu arrived neither too early nor too late, with a test number of 108,382.
There are still more than 10 people ahead of us.
Having experienced the horror of queuing in his previous life, Cheng Jiu almost wanted to give up.
But is it really befitting of the cultivation world?
She was just spacing out for a while when a large group of people in front of her disappeared.
It turned out that it wasn't at all like she had imagined, where people lined up one by one to touch the towering pillar, with people registering and elders coming over to compete for those with good talent.
The result was that there was a formation in front of the large pillar. The formation could accommodate 5000 children. Once activated, it could awaken the talents of 5000 children at the same time, and the talents would be recorded in their individual jade tablets.
One unique aspect is that the child's appearance will display different colors depending on their aptitude: white, green, blue, purple, and gold. Five colors in total.
It made her hallucinate the gacha pulls from her past life. Most of them were white, a few were purple, and there were only one or two gold ones. She had only gotten one gold one after at least four rounds!
As for choosing a sect, there are thousands of celestial ships in the sky, each representing a different sect.
The elders of the sect were all watching below. Their divine senses were incredibly vast, and when they saw someone they liked and deemed suitable, they would send a message to their jade slip.
Then, if any of the children below are interested, they can choose their favorite sect from these sects.
It's a two-way selection process. Of course, you should try to complete the selection before the sect conference, otherwise no sect will accept you then. They'll think you're indecisive and incapable of great things.
What? You're saying that people with children might not understand these procedures?
That's impossible. All the children here are over six years old. Children in the cultivation world are mostly precocious. The children who can come here must have elders who are cultivators.
And once they step onto the ascension platform, these rules are transmitted into the consciousness of each child.
The disciples accepted by a sect can be innocent, but they cannot be completely naive.
Cheng Jiu thought of the grand scene at the beginning, and then looked at this highly efficient and down-to-earth selection method, and felt a little disillusioned.
I thought it was a series of tests that would reveal an unparalleled genius, and I heard a chorus of "wows."
And that's how it is. So many people, at most you can only see a general idea of their qualifications. Even when it's a card draw, gold cards are displayed separately, but here, you can't even see the person's face!
She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed! So what was the point of that big pillar behind her?
Just as she was lost in thought, it was soon her turn.
The best spot on this ascension platform is right here. There are so many people, but each person has an invisible barrier around them to prevent them from communicating with each other, while also giving them a great deal of space to be alone.
You have to understand that these are all children. If they start arguing, it could really cause a whole bunch of them to cry.
Standing inside the formation, she was still a little nervous.
But soon the formation was activated, and a warm current filled her body, so warm and comfortable that she squinted her eyes.
The elders watching from above immediately spotted her, Jin! She had only appeared once before, and they all extended invitations to her.
After awakening, Cheng Jiu and the other children were teleported to another large square!
This place is much more spacious; even hundreds of thousands of people would only occupy a small corner of it!
Cheng Jiu couldn't help but sigh at the damn assembly line-like feeling, which made her feel completely uninvolved. She even had a sense of unreality, as if she had just awakened.
Here, communication is possible. Disciples from sects with whom they have a preference have already made mutual selections, and those who accepted the invitations have begun to make friends everywhere.
Among those who cultivate immortality, the most important things are wealth, methods, cultivation, companions, and place, and friends also fall under the category of companions.
Moreover, they awakened in the same batch; in their previous lives, they were classmates.
Just get to know them, make a good first impression, and if you can actually become friends, that's a win!
However, they wouldn't be so tactless as to strike up a conversation with people who were choosing a sect; if they did, they might miss the opportunity and offend them badly.
They came to make friends, not to make enemies.
Cheng Jiu looked at the message on the jade tablet: Heavenly Wood Spiritual Root, Spiritual Essence Immortal Body, his aptitude is excellent!
In the cultivation world, there is an unwritten rule that those with four-character names all possess extraordinary physiques.
The Spiritual Essence Immortal Body is a top-tier furnace physique. Even if one does nothing, one's cultivation will naturally increase over time without any bottlenecks.
Their aptitude will also continuously improve, as will their cultivation techniques, spiritual roots, and even their future choices of the Dao. All of these will be continuously enhanced within the Spiritual Essence Immortal Body.
In short, I am constantly getting stronger, even while I sleep.
Moreover, it generates its own spiritual energy, which is also the gentlest and has extremely strong endurance!
Combined with her Heavenly Wood Spiritual Root, she's practically invincible! Being a minor cultivator is an extraordinary talent.
She decided to go to Guiyuan Sect, although, judging from her aptitude, Medicine King Valley was more suitable.
But what could she do when Liu Qi was there? Although she didn't know if the other party had bad intentions, what if they used the fact that she had been drugged to threaten her? Wouldn't she be finished?
It's possible the other person didn't have bad intentions, but she didn't want to see "acquaintances."
As for other sects, the Dragon Abyss Sect is a famous sword-cultivation sect that pursues the goal of splitting the heavens with a single sword. Although it occupies five cities, swords are truly money-devouring beasts, and it is very poor!
His close ally was the Wuji Sect, which focused on body cultivation and aimed to break through the void.
However, no physical training is free from spending money. It's only slightly better than the Dragon Abyss Sect. In terms of spending money, people can't compare to swordsmen.
As for the Cloud Soaring Sect, she never even considered it; it would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den.
She hadn't even considered anything below the five major sects. To be honest, compared to the five major sects, all the other sects were far inferior.
She has the right to choose one of the five major sects, so why would she choose a minor sect?
The person who invented this jade pendant was a genius; it was faster than finding a job these days! And it precisely selected offers!
After choosing a sect, Cheng Jiu began to stroll around. Seeing a dispute ahead, her gossip radar went off, and she casually walked over, her ears peeking in the direction of the argument.
"Li Xiaoer, I didn't expect you to come to the sect conference! I thought you would stay at home and dare not come out!" The boy was dressed in a blue robe, with a delicate and handsome face. He looked like a well-mannered young scholar. If he did not speak, he would look like a polite and well-mannered young scholar from a distance.
Faced with the arrogant young man, the chubby child opposite him seemed a little timid. "Horse, Horse Dog, listen up, I've changed my name. I'm now called Li Xuanze, and I have purple aptitude. I... I'm not afraid of you!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Gou'er said, "So what if you changed your name? You're still nothing." He bumped into Li Xuanze, who stumbled and fell to the ground! "A piece of trash is a piece of trash. You don't behave when you see me? Do you want a beating?" He reached out and patted Li Xuanze's face. Li Xuanze didn't dare to resist at all and shrank his neck.
Cheng Jiu watched from the sidelines, thinking, "Isn't this blatant bullying?" Before she could think any further, the matter was over in a flash.
"Do you believe I'll tell your aunt!"
"My aunt, do you think my aunt would talk about me, her nephew, for your sake?" Ma Gou'er said nonchalantly; his aunt doted on him.
“Of course it will! When my uncle and I visited your aunt’s house last time, she was so hospitable. She often invites my uncle to her house. If I complain about her then, your aunt will definitely scold you!” The chubby boy said confidently.
"Nonsense! How could my uncle not know your uncle came to my aunt's house? He never said he knew your uncle!" Ma Gou'er said with disbelief.
"No, I've seen my uncle go into your aunt's house several times. Last time I had to beg my uncle to take me to your aunt's house. Your aunt has a Shulan lily, right?" the chubby boy said.
"Really, really." Ma Gou'er hesitated for a moment, but was starting to believe it. "Your uncle came to my aunt's house, how come my uncle-in-law didn't know?"
"Of course it was your uncle who went to your house! I've seen him several times!" the chubby boy said. "My uncle went to your aunt's house, and your uncle came to your house. They just missed each other." He had a smug look on his face, as if he already knew it.
"It's a lie! My uncle often comes to my house, but I've never seen him, and my parents haven't mentioned it either! It must be fake!"
