Chapter 64: Chapter 64: The Entrance Test
Subsequently, various Spiritual Beasts and Spiritual Birds flew through the sky from time to time. There were Fiery Fire Lions with bodies aflame, Thunder Hawks manipulating lightning, Divine Apes with the strength to uproot mountains, Giant Bears that could shake the land, Spiritual Deer treading upon auspicious clouds, and snow-white Divine Bulls…
One powerful Spiritual Beast after another appeared, leaving all the youngsters on the square utterly dumbfounded and profoundly shocked.
From the Outer Sect’s one hundred and eight peaks, a potent Golden Core Elder from each peak arrived, riding upon their mighty Spiritual Beasts, and within a mere quarter of an hour, all had assembled.
Qin Feng, too, was left clicking his tongue in amazement.
A family like the Zhao Family of Tieling County, which possessed a Golden Core Peak powerhouse, had already the capacity to call the wind and summon the rain in the Commandery, making small families like the Qin Family look up to them.
And now, here in just the Outer Sect of the Beast Taming Sect, so many exceptional Golden Core Elders had emerged, making the Zhao Family utterly insignificant by comparison.
He barely dared to imagine, if the Outer Sect was already this formidable, how overwhelmingly powerful must the Inner Sect be?
At that moment, Qin Feng’s heart swelled with a strong yearning. He wanted to enter the Inner Sect, to witness the glory within.
And this was not just his own desire; every Outer Disciple of the Beast Taming Sect harbored this aspiration. There was no one who did not wish to be admitted to the Inner Sect.
Only by entering the Inner Sect could one be freed from the miscellaneous duties of the Outer Sect and could one receive the True Inheritance, cultivating in peace with the possibility of achieving longevity.
“Silence.”
Following the reprimand from the Outer Sect Elder Li Qing, the disciples, who had been whispering and discussing amongst themselves, immediately quieted down and looked up at him.
However, Li Qing did not preside over the ceremony. Instead, he invited an authoritative-looking elder onto the stage.
“This is Elder Yang Wuhui from our Beast Taming Sect’s Law Enforcement Hall; Elder Yan will now guide you to join the Sect,” he announced.
After speaking, he stepped back two paces to give way to Elder Yan.
Yang Wuhui’s gaze was piercing as he swept it across the entire crowd. All the disciples were made uneasy by his look that seemed to see into their hearts, preventing them from harboring any frivolous thoughts.
Qin Feng secretly marveled, he faintly felt that Elder Yan’s authority surpassed that of all the Outer Sect Elders present, and their respectful attitudes towards this elder appeared to confirm this.
He could not even fathom what Cultivation level this Elder might have achieved. Could it be that he had already transcended the Golden Core Realm to become a being of the Purple Mansion?
“Our Beast Taming Sect has been established for tens of thousands of years, with a lineage tracing back to the beginning of the Ancient Great Tribulation,” Elder Yan’s voice was resonant and strong, his enunciation clear, ensuring that his words reached the ears of every disciple: “During the Ancient Great Tribulation, invaders from all realms and the rampaging Demon Clan committed countless acts of slaughter, leading to the devastation of all life forms.
Our founding master could not bear to watch the common people suffer and, with heavenly wisdom, created the Beast Taming Technique. He established our Sect, guarded the Southern Wilderness, and suppressed countless members of the Demon Clan. During the Ancient Great Tribulation, he established a resounding reputation and accomplished numerous great deeds.”
At this point, he paused for a moment before continuing, “In the tens of thousands of years following the Great Tribulation, our Beast Taming Sect has upheld our ancestor’s last wishes, suppressed demons and devils, and saved countless lives, never falling behind others.
You all desire to join our Beast Taming Sect, and must therefore embrace this philosophy. When heaven and earth face catastrophe, and our Sect faces calamity, you must be willing to make selfless sacrifices, unafraid of hardships, bravely stepping forward to fight for your lives. Can you do this?”
The disciples hastily replied, “We are willing to give our lives for the Sect!”
“Hmm.”
Elder Yan slowly nodded his head, then said, “Our Beast Taming Sect has ten major precepts; first, you must not deceive your masters or destroy your ancestors; second, you must not betray the Sect; third, you must not harm your fellow disciples; fourth, you must not commit adultery…
Keep in mind that these ten precepts must not be violated, or you will be subjected to severe punishment without mercy!” @@novelbin@@
The crowd responded once again, “The disciples dare not.”
“Alright, next, let us invite the image of the Ancestor. After all the disciples pay homage to the Ancestor, you will be considered disciples of the Beast Taming Sect.”
With Elder Yan’s words falling, a series of lights suddenly rose in the front of the main hall at the plaza.
Countless lights converged together, transforming into a figure hundreds of feet tall. Everyone looked up to see that it was the image of an elder with a kind and benevolent face.
Following the appearance of this divine image, everyone, including Yang Wuhui and the Outer Elders from the one hundred and eight peaks, all respectfully bowed deeply.
Afterward, Yang Wuhui stood up, turned to the young people in the field, and commanded, “Disciples, pay your respects to the Ancestor.”
In an instant, all the disciples knelt down, and after three prostrations and nine bows, they were considered part of the Beast Taming Sect.
Elder Yan’s expression seemed to soften a bit as he nodded slightly, “Now that you’ve joined our Beast Taming Sect, you must abide by the rules and diligently pursue cultivation, striving to achieve something at the earliest.
Alright, next, activate the Array. All disciples will step forward on their own, each depending on their own fate which Outer Elder you manage to reach, you will join that peak.
And if in the end, you cannot make it out of the Illusion Array, don’t worry. The Sect will still assign you to the various peaks, so your cultivation will not be delayed.”
Elder Yan waved his large sleeve, and behind him, Li Qing and the others quickly formed spells to activate the Array.
With a rumbling sound, a heavy noise came, and then in front of the main hall at the plaza, one thousand eight hundred and eight platforms rose.
The Outer Elders of the various peaks flew up and landed on the platforms, and as they channeled their Mana into the platforms, illusory images emerged before them.
At the same time, the space of the plaza seemed to shift for a moment, and when the disciples opened their eyes again, they found that the scene before them had changed completely, completely different from before; there was no main hall, no Elders, and no other disciples in sight.
Each of them seemed to be in a strange world, enveloped in a vast expanse of white fog, seeing nothing, with only a voice seemingly tempting them to move forward.
This was a test for the new Outer Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect, designed to test the disciples’ temperament and their subconscious preference for certain types of Spiritual Beasts.
Of course, this was just a minor test at this stage and did not represent the future achievements and choices of Spiritual Beasts for these disciples.
After all, they were still young, their nature could still grow, and their preferences could change. What the future held, nobody could be certain.
Qin Feng walked forward in a daze, not knowing how long or how far he had gone, as if it were but a moment and yet many days had passed.
The feeling frustrated him, and he wanted to stop for a proper rest.
However, it seemed as if another voice in his heart was urging him to keep moving.
Ultimately he was of a resolute nature, so instead of stopping to rest, he continued to walk.
Finally, when his patience was almost exhausted, some scenery began to appear ahead, no longer just an endless expanse of white.
Qin Feng felt a surge of joy and looked up carefully to see many illusory images emerging through the mist—dragons and phoenixes, tigers and bears, all kinds of creatures from the animal kingdom; anything that existed in the world was present here.
In the midst of it, he had an epiphany and walked towards the illusory shadow of the Demon Beast he was most familiar with.
At last, he approached the shadow and was about to reach out to touch it when his spirit was suddenly jolted, and he came to his senses, only to find that there was no such illusory shadow, and the vast white fog had also dissipated into nothing.
And he had unknowingly reached the front of a platform.
He looked up, and on the platform stood a beautiful woman with a graceful figure.
The woman felt his gaze and also looked down at him.
PS: The beautiful woman with hands on hips and chest puffed out: What are you looking at? Hand over your recommendation tickets quickly, or else I’ll let out really fierce and ferocious beasts! Owooooo…
What do you think?
