The man in the golden robe was Chen Xiao, the Sect Leader of the Spirit Control Sect, who had been cultivating for over three hundred years and possessed the Cultivation of the late Core Formation stage.
Chen Xiao took the blue booklet, flipped through a few pages, nodded, and smiled, “Junior Brother Lin, you have worked hard.”
“It is my duty, Sect Leader Brother, you are too kind.”
Green Python True Person said humbly.
Chen Xiao nodded, his gaze turned to Shen Long and the others, his expression grew solemn, as he ordered, “New disciples, follow me inside to pay respects to the Grandmaster.”
He strode into the Grandmaster Hall, with Green Python True Person closely following behind, and Lin Sisi, among other new disciples, walked into the Grandmaster Hall one after another.
The hall was spacious and bright, with a huge statue of a man placed inside.
A silver Flood Dragon was coiled around the man’s body.
On the stone walls to the left and right, there hung dozens of portraits, depicting men and women, old and young—all invariably included Spirit Beasts, Spirit Birds, or Spirit Insects.
In front of the statue, there was a huge golden incense burner with a large number of incense sticks inserted.
“This is our Yuling True Monarch, the Grandmaster of the Spirit Control Sect.
Our sect was established over fifty thousand years ago.
Our Grandmaster has already ascended to the Spirit Realm.
During the peak of our sect, we had one Divinity Transformation and over twenty Nascent Soul Cultivators, but that is all in the past,” Chen Xiao said slowly.
Addressing the statue, he said, “Grandmaster, disciple Chen Xiao is bringing the new disciples to pay their respects to you.”
Chen Xiao bowed deeply.
Green Python True Person bowed as well, his expression respectful.
“Greetings, Grandmaster!”
Lin Sisi and the other eighty-something Qi Refining Cultivators bowed deeply, their expressions solemn.
Chen Xiao turned around, his authoritative gaze sweeping over Shen Long and the others.
“Li Qian, Zhao Bin.”
Chen Xiao called out.
“Disciple is present.” ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
A graceful woman in a purple dress and a handsome young man in a green robe stepped forward, their expressions respectful.
“The new disciples are in your care.
Teach them well; first take them to register, receive their entrance benefits, arrange their cave abodes, and then assign someone to teach them about Cultivation.”
Chen Xiao instructed.
“Disciple obeys,” Li Qian and Zhao Bin replied, taking Shen Long and the others away from the Grandmaster Hall.
Zhao Bin flicked his sleeve, and a palm-sized green boat flew out.
Inputting a spell, the green Flying Boat shone with dazzling green light, expanding to over ten zhang in length.
He and Li Qian stepped onto it, followed by Shen Long and the others.
Zhao Bin performed a spell, and the green Flying Boat rose into the sky, soaring upwards.
“Our sect is divided into One Hundred and Eight Peaks, of which there are seventy-two Inner Peaks and thirty-six Outer Peaks.
The Outer Peaks are where most Qi Refining disciples reside,” Li Qian began to explain.
“Disciple Gu Tianhong, Master Aunt Li, does that mean Qi Refining disciples can live on Inner Peaks?” Gu Tianhong asked politely.
“If a Core Formation Cultivator takes you as a disciple or your parents have cave abodes on the Inner Peaks, or if you overcome the eighteenth level of the Thousand Demon Tower, you can also stay on the Inner Peaks,” Li Qian replied.
“The Thousand Demon Tower is the treasure of our Spirit Control Sect and also a Spiritual Treasure.
It can create illusions of up to fourth-stage Monster Beasts to challenge those who enter.
The first eighteen levels will only produce illusions of first-stage Monster Beasts.
The higher the level, the stronger and more numerous the first-stage Monster Beasts will be.
On the eighteenth level, nine late-stage first-stage Monster Beasts will attack the challenger,” she continued.
Li Qian spoke slowly.
“So if one passes the eighteenth level, one can reside at the Inner Peak?”
Gu Tianhong continued to ask.
“Hmph, do you think it’s that easy?
You’re not allowed to use second-order Talismans and Talisman treasures, and you can’t use more than three high-power Magic Artifacts at once.
Without this restriction, those wealthy disciples would have passed through long ago.
Since the founding of our sect, only a little over twenty Qi Refining Cultivators have managed to pass all eighteen levels.
If one does manage to pass all eighteen levels, they will be granted an audience with the Sect Master Uncle and rewarded with a Foundation Establishment Pill, enjoying the same privileges as Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and may even be taken as a disciple by a Core Formation Cultivator,”
Li Qian explained.
“Master Aunt Li, who is the most recent Cultivator to have passed the eighteen levels?
Are there any restrictions on attempting the Thousand Demon Tower?”
Shen Long asked politely.
“The most recent Cultivator to pass the eighteen levels is Master Uncle Shangguan.
Master Uncle Shangguan is the most prominent among the Yuling Nine Outstanding and has a great chance of advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage,”
Li Qian said with a proud face, then her tone shifted as she continued, “To attempt the Thousand Demon Tower, one needs to expend Kind Attribute.
Otherwise, everyone would try their luck.”
“Attempting the Thousand Demon Tower is a path of ascension for ordinary disciples, but it’s not an easy path to take.
It’s better to earnestly cultivate and accumulate Kind Attribute to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill!”
Zhao Bin advised.
Before long, the azure Flying Boat came to a halt, and below was a massive Azure Stone Plaza, with a dazzlingly bright giant tower at its center, engraved with Monster Beasts patterns.
Numerous Cultivators from the Spirt Control Sect were gathered around the tower.
A golden light erupted on the sixteenth floor, and a blood-soaked man in red flew out, rapidly plummeting toward the ground.
A white cloud soared skyward, cushioning the fall of the man in red, and slowly descended.
“Another failure; it seems he’s determined to make it through the eighteenth level,”
Li Qian said with a frown.
“This is Tang Yan, Junior Brother Tang.
Including this time, he’s failed seven times.
Every few years, he attempts the Thousand Demon Tower and has gained a bit of fame in the Spirt Control Sect,”
Zhao Bin introduced, then changed his tone as he continued, “The saying ‘Where there is a will, there is a way’ is apt for the successful, but countless are the failures.
I don’t recommend you follow his example.
In our sect, some Qi Refinement Cultivators arrogantly consider themselves above others, reaching the ninth level of Qi Refinement before thirty, stubbornly attempting the Thousand Demon Tower.
Most give up after two or three failures without much impact, but those who persist through four or five tries have already missed the best age for Foundation Establishment and live with regrets forever.”
He formed a spell with his fingers, causing the light of the azure Flying Boat to intensify, thereby increasing their Escape Speed.
Less than half an hour later, the azure Flying Boat landed at the entrance of a massive azure tower, with many Spirt Control Sect disciples coming and going.
Engraved on the tower were the characters for “Executor.” This was the place where the Spirt Control Sect handled mundane affairs and where missions and stipends were distributed.
Zhao Bin put away the azure Flying Boat and walked towards the Executive Tower, with Li Qian leading Shen Long and the others to follow.
Upon entering the Executive Tower, a spacious and bright grand hall came into view.
Inside the great hall was a long azure counter, behind which stood more than twenty Spirt Control Sect disciples dressed uniformly in green robes.
“Chen Qing, these people are new disciples; distribute the entrance benefits to them and do it quickly—we also need to arrange their accommodation,”
Li Qian ordered.
An elder in green robes, over sixty years old, responded and signaled the other disciples to distribute the entrance benefits to Shen Long and the others.
Shen Long took out his identity badge and handed it to a Green-robed Attendant, who placed the badge on top of a large golden Law Disk the size of a grinding plate.
The golden Law Disk lit up with a golden light, and the Green-robed Attendant returned the identity badge to Shen Long, handing over a blue Storage Bag to him.
“For every new disciple, there’s a Dust-Proofing Garment, one medium-grade Magic Artifact, one Flying Artifact, a bottle of Qi Nourishing Pills, and a hundred Spirit Stones; there are also two Jade Slips that provide information on the sect’s forbidden areas and the Heaven and Earth Exotic Insect List.
If there’s nothing missing, then follow me,”
Li Qian directed.
Shen Long received the blue Storage Bag, his Divine Sense quickly checked it, and he nodded in agreement.
If the entry benefits are so generous, it is no wonder so many Loose Cultivators desire to join the Spirt Control Sect.
