Chapter Nine: Three Trials

this moment, Jiang Yun finally understood the words of the woman in white before her death. They were not a threat!He didn't know if others could recognize these gates, but he knew, this was—the ghost...Through the cracks in the mountain gate, one could clearly see five peaks on which streaks of light shot up into the sky. From afar to near, in an instant, they arrived above the mountain gate. Five people were directly flying through the air and appeared before everyone.

Looking down at the five people standing high above in the air, the crowd immediately erupted.

"Only those with the cultivation of Fortunate Land Realm can display the flying technique. My goodness, could it be that all five of them are Fortunate Land Realm cultivators The Asking Dao Sect truly has a deep foundation!"

"The Land of Fortune, a realm that one would never dare to imagine. You have to know, in our entire Wuyang City with hundreds of thousands of people, there is only one cultivator at the Land of Fortune realm."

Ginger Cloud was also shocked. Although he wasn't a cultivator, he still knew this common sense.

The first three realms of cultivation are Pulse Connection, Blessed Land, and Cave Heaven. He wasn't sure if there were cultivators at the Blessed Land realm in the Ten Thousand Mang Mountains, but in the whole Ginger Village, the strongest, Grandpa Jiang Wanli, was only at the ninth level of Pulse Connection.

It's me!

Right now, there are five cultivators from the Fortunate Land realm who have arrived at this questioning place. Four males and one female, and they don't seem very old. The youngest, a man with a strong appearance, seems to be about the same age as himself. This gives Jiang Yun a strong feeling that he has come to the right place.

The five people who flew out from the Questioning Dao Sect stood in mid-air. The powerful aura emanating from each of them was like five mountains, pressing down on everyone and making it difficult to breathe. People involuntarily lowered their heads and dared not look at them.

Five figures, with impassive faces and cold eyes, swept their gaze over the crowd. From the middle, a young man who seemed about the same age as Jiang Yun, spoke in a loud voice: "My name is Xiao Yishu. Today, I'm here on behalf of the founder of Wendaomen to explain the rules for accepting disciples."

"My sect accepts disciples regardless of age or cultivation level. There are only three tests: to examine one's Dao Heart, Dao Spirit, and Dao Body."

To be honest, Ginger Cloud was still a little worried. Although she had defeated Feng Wujie, who was at the fifth level of Tongmai, not long ago, she was just an ordinary person after all, and she didn't know if she could pass the Wen Dao Sect's assessment.

But now hearing Xiao Yi's straightforward words, stating that it didn't matter about cultivation level, he felt a little more at ease.

Among the Three Passes, whoever passes any one pass can become an attendant disciple of my Question Dao Sect; whoever passes any two passes can become an outer sect disciple; and whoever passes all three passes will directly become an inner sect disciple!

Servant, outer gate, and inner gate!

Three different disciples' identities naturally represent the different treatments they can enjoy after entering the sect.

Jiang Yun couldn't help but think of Feng Wuji. The other party had already been taken in by the Lunhui Sect as an inner sect disciple. In this regard, his aptitude was clearly quite good.

If one wants to contend with him, the most prudent method would be to become an inner disciple as well.

Xiao Yi continued, "There are dangers during the assessment process. While death is unlikely, injuries are very possible. Therefore, everyone should carefully consider their own abilities and not be overly competitive. If anything happens, our sect will not be responsible."

After a moment of silence, Xiao Yishu's expression suddenly turned cold, and his voice took on a more serious tone: "I ask the Daozong, it is a sect for the human race, only accepting disciples from the human race. Therefore, if any of you are demon race, please leave voluntarily and don't try to deceive us. When the disciple recruitment begins, once we discover your true identity, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

As for the Yaozu, Jiang Yun had also heard that between heaven and earth, all things possess a spirit. Besides humans, the most common beings are plants, animals, even mountains and rivers, which can cultivate. Once they successfully cultivate, they become Yao.

Although humans and demons are both living beings, due to the idea that "those who are not of my race must have different hearts," they have been at odds since ancient times. In fact, the human and demon clans have essentially been in a state of hostility.

As Xiao Yi's words fell, the handsome man who had ridiculed Jiang Yun before suddenly pointed at Jiang Yun and said, "You are a demon clan, aren't you"

Ginger Cloud's brows furrowed slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. This man had just sarcastically ridiculed him earlier, and now, in front of the disciples of Wen Daozong, he dared to call him a demon!

Although Ginger Cloud had no experience in the world, he was naturally intelligent and knew this person held no grudge against him. The other party was merely trying to gain attention by putting him down, hoping to impress others with their showmanship.

For such a person, you either fight back forcefully or ignore them completely. After his anger subsided, Jiang Yun chose the latter. After all, he was new to this place, unfamiliar with everything, and it was better to avoid trouble than get involved. He endured it.

The handsome young man's words caused a burst of laughter, but also drew some disapproval. A plain-clothed, tall and burly man couldn't help but speak up: "Ho Yuan, this younger brother may be dressed oddly, but you don't need to target him like this."

The handsome young man named Huo Yuan widened his eyes and said, "Tang Yi, which eye did you see me targeting him I just asked him a question. Who among us dressed like a monster"

"Shut up!" Xiao Yishu suddenly spoke in a cold voice. The two simple words were like two heavy hammers, slamming heavily onto Huo Yuan and Tang Yi.

Both of them let out a muffled grunt. Huo Yuan "deng deng deng" retreated several steps and bumped into the person behind him before barely stopping, while Tang Yi only took one step back and let out a loud roar, forcibly standing firm.

This way, the two of them naturally didn't dare to speak. Tang Yi was fine, but Huo Yuan's gaze towards Xiao Yishu flickered with a trace of resentment that was barely perceptible.

Jiang Yun's eyes narrowed slightly. This was the power of the Blessed Land Realm. Just two words could actually repel two cultivators!

Xiao Yi's gaze completely ignored the two of them. He cast a deep look at Jiang Yun, then retracted his eyes and spoke in a loud voice: "Now you have your last ten breaths of time. After ten breaths, the assessment begins!"

The ten breaths of time was apparently given to those demon race to leave, and indeed six or seven figures darted out of the crowd at an extremely fast speed, fleeing in terror. Apparently, they were the demon race.

Jiang Yun didn't look at the figures of those who had left, but nodded towards Tang Yi, who had just spoken up for him, as a gesture of thanks.

After ten breaths, Xiao Yi’s voice boomed once more: “Good, now all those who wish to join the sect, follow us into the mountain gate. Those who have no business here, wait outside the mountain gate!”

Among the crowd present, many were there to bring their own family members. These people are not allowed to enter the Wenda Sect.

Most people streamed into the entrance of Wen Daozong, where they found a vast plaza large enough to hold tens of thousands. On the ground were some thick lines, and at each corner of the plaza stood a statue of a beast that was dozens of meters tall.

The four beast sculptures are unknown creatures, though they differ in appearance, each is ferocious and frightening. Their expressions are lifelike, making them seem as if they could come alive at any moment.

Outside the square, thousands more people were gathered. From their attire, it was easy to tell they were all disciples of the Way of Inquiry School.

As a once-every-three-years event for the initiation of new disciples, naturally all the disciples within Wendaozong wanted to come and see the excitement.

Ginger took the opportunity to look around. Although many people remained outside, there were at least two thousand people standing inside the square at this moment.

At this time, Xiao Yishu's voice rang out: "The first round begins, Xiang Xuan sister, please!" word: "Man Mo told you, your Yaoshengzong are guests, and our Jiuyi Zong are the true masters of this place!""By here, I'm referring to the Dao Ancient Realm!"As Mang Shang's voice fell, a sudden cha...
