Chapter 205: Entering the Sect

Six streams of Genesis Qi clouds floated in mid-air, with six figures sitting cross-legged upon them. Potent and powerful Genesis Qi fluctuations subtly emanated from their bodies, intimidating the entire world.

Under the deterrence of these six Divine Dwelling stage experts, the many chosen ones throughout the land became as quiet as cicadas in winter. Not daring to show the slightest arrogance, they were all extremely docile.

This was because they all knew that the six individuals before them practically held their futures in their hands.

The Six Sacred Sects were the most powerful sects in Cangxuan Heaven. As long as one could enter and cultivate there, their future would be far superior to staying on a continent like this. After all, the Six Sacred Sects gathered the best resources and experts in Cangxuan Heaven.

Therefore, in the eyes of many, even becoming an ordinary disciple in one of the Six Sacred Sects was better than remaining a chosen one on the Boundless Continent.

Zhou Yuan's gaze also fell upon the six envoys. In the Saint Remains Region, he had already learned about the Six Sacred Sects, and he also knew that the barefoot elder was the envoy of the Cangxuan Sect.

As for the pale, beardless, somewhat sinister-looking middle-aged man named Zhao Pan, he was the envoy of the Sacred Palace.

The other four sects were the Beidong Dragon Suppressing Hall, the Sword Seeking Sect, the Heavenly Ghost Mansion, and the Hundred Flowers Immortal Palace.

These four major sects were also renowned in Cangxuan Heaven, veritable behemoths.

On the cloud, Zhao Pan, the Sacred Palace envoy, swept his stern gaze across the crowd. His gaze was like a knife's edge; no one dared to meet his eyes.

"Although you are all chosen ones from the Boundless Continent, it's not so easy to enter one of my Six Sacred Sects," Zhao Pan's indifferent voice rang out. "You should know that within Cangxuan Heaven, there are tens of thousands of continents, and the Boundless Continent is utterly insignificant among them. On other continents, there are countless more chosen ones. And in those places, envoys from the Six Sacred Sects also go to select disciples. So, don't think that having performed well in the Saint Remains Region means you can be complacent. If you were truly placed among the entire younger generation of Cangxuan Heaven, you wouldn't be impressive enough."

Zhao Pan's indifferent voice was like a basin of cold water, directly jolting awake the many chosen ones who had been feeling complacent due to their good performance in the Saint Remains Region.

Zhou Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, as he felt that when Zhao Pan spoke, his cold gaze seemed to linger on him for a moment, as if the words were directed at him. However, his expression remained unchanged, neither pleased nor angry.

"How annoying," Luluo mumbled softly.

Zuoqiu Qingyu glanced at Zhou Yuan and whispered, "I received news earlier that it was this Sacred Palace envoy, Zhao Pan, who intervened to save Wu Huang's spirit."

Zhou Yuan's eyes narrowed, a flash of anger crossing their depths. So it was this guy who was causing trouble and ruining his plans. If not for him, he would have been able to completely eliminate Wu Huang's spirit in the Saint Remains Region, tidying everything up cleanly, instead of now being left with a lingering issue.

"Heh heh, Envoy Zhao Pan, there's no need to be so strict," a laugh rang out as the many chosen ones across the land remained speechless. It was the Cangxuan Sect envoy, Mu Wuji, who said, smiling, as he gently tapped his pipe, "I think some of these youngsters are quite promising. With proper cultivation, they might very well become pillars of the sect."

"Alright, enough idle chatter. Let's begin the selection." The speaker was a white-robed man with a stern face, whose Genesis Qi felt exceptionally sharp around him. A steel sword lay across his lap. This was precisely the Sword Seeking Sect's envoy.

"Those who have ascended the Saint Stairs, step forward." A beautiful woman spoke softly. She wore a palace robe embroidered with delicate hundred-flower patterns, clearly indicating she was the envoy of the Hundred Flowers Immortal Palace. As soon as her voice rang out, dozens of figures emerged from among the countless chosen ones. These were precisely the chosen ones who had ascended the Saint Stairs, and Zhou Yuan, Yaoyao, Luluo, and others were among them. What surprised Zhou Yuan, however, was that Ye Ming was also present, but the other few individuals were nowhere to be seen.

The six envoys looked at these dozens of chosen ones and suddenly made their move. Genesis Qi surged out, forming large hands that roughly grabbed several individuals each, throwing them onto the Genesis Qi clouds behind them, regardless of their willingness. Soon, only a few figures remained on the spot. These were the more outstanding chosen ones, namely Zhou Yuan, Yaoyao, and Luluo.

"My Sword Seeking Sect specializes in the sword. Are you willing to join?" The Sword Seeking Sect envoy was the first to look at Li Chunjun, his voice much softer, clearly having taken a liking to Li Chunjun's talent in swordsmanship.

Li Chunjun nodded lightly and said, "I am willing." His original goal had always been the Sword Seeking Sect.

When the other chosen ones saw this, they understood that the remaining few were the ones the envoys were truly interested in, hence the direct inquiry. Unlike the previous chosen ones, whose preferences weren't even considered, and who were simply allocated randomly. But even so, the many chosen ones were immensely envious, as they didn't even have the qualifications to be randomly assigned by the envoys.

"The Yama Sect you cultivated previously was founded by a former deacon of my Heavenly Ghost Sect. Are you willing to join the Heavenly Ghost Sect now?" the eerie black-robed figure said, looking at Zhen Xu.

Zhen Xu nodded respectfully.

"These two little girls are quite good. How about both of you join my Hundred Flowers Immortal Palace?" The beautiful woman looked at Luluo and Zuoqiu Qingyu with a smile.

Luluo and Zuoqiu Qingyu exchanged glances, and seeing that the other envoys didn't speak, they gracefully bowed to the beautiful woman.

The beautiful woman smiled faintly, her beautiful eyes then turning to Yaoyao beside Zhou Yuan, saying, "This little girl is also quite to my liking..." Although Yaoyao's Genesis Qi was thin, the beautiful woman could tell at a glance that her spirit cultivation was extremely strong. If she specialized in spirit cultivation, she might achieve extraordinary things in the future.

"Ahem, Envoy Shang Yu, two should be enough," Mu Wuji coughed and said. The other envoys also nodded, allowing the Hundred Flowers Immortal Palace to take two. Mainly, they couldn't be bothered to contend with a woman, especially since the Hundred Flowers Immortal Palace was unique in only accepting female disciples.

Seeing that the other envoys were all against it, the beautiful woman named Shang Yu could only shake her head regretfully.

After the subsequent selection, Ning Zhan joined the Beidong Dragon Suppressing Hall.

"Ye Ming, you can join my Sacred Palace." At this moment, the Sacred Palace envoy Zhao Pan suddenly looked at Ye Ming and said indifferently.

Many chosen ones throughout the land stirred, feeling dissatisfied. After all, Ye Ming was from the Eastern Profound Continent, and his interference in their Boundless Continent was already against the rules. They hadn't expected him to be favored by the Sacred Palace envoy. However, Zhao Pan didn't even glance at their commotion, only looking at Ye Ming.

Ye Ming hesitated slightly but eventually nodded. The Sacred Palace was currently at its zenith in Cangxuan Heaven, and being able to cultivate there was indeed an excellent choice.

Mu Wuji, exhaling blue smoke, glanced at Zhou Yuan with a smile, then turned to Yaoyao beside him and said, "Are you willing to join my Cangxuan Sect?"

Yaoyao nodded indifferently.

Thus, in the end, only Zhou Yuan remained...

All eyes in the world turned towards him. Everyone knew that Zhou Yuan was the most outstanding individual in this Saint Remains Region event.

As expected, Mu Wuji chuckled, "Zhou Yuan, as the one who ascended the Saint Mountain in this Saint Remains Region, you may freely choose which sect to join."

The world fell silent, all awaiting Zhou Yuan's choice.

But just as Zhou Yuan was about to speak, the Sacred Palace envoy Zhao Pan suddenly spoke indifferently, "Zhou Yuan, if you join my Sacred Palace, we will overlook your act of slaying Wu Huang's physical body. And you should know that my Sacred Palace is currently the strongest sect in Cangxuan Heaven. As long as you enter, you will certainly receive cultivation and support."

Zhao Pan looked down at Zhou Yuan, his tone slightly dismissive and arrogant. In his view, he had shown Zhou Yuan enough respect and had even extended an olive branch. If Zhou Yuan were smart, he should know how to choose. In truth, his words weren't out of particular regard for Zhou Yuan; after all, it was just a selection of chosen ones from a small Boundless Continent. He spoke up simply because he knew Mu Wuji valued Zhou Yuan, and he specifically wanted to cause some trouble and vex Mu Wuji. Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Mu Wuji's expression immediately turned grim, and he glared at him angrily.

"Hmph, 'overlook'?" Mu Wuji sneered. "If he himself was incompetent and had his physical body destroyed, who are you going to complain to?"

Zhao Pan ignored him, simply looking down at Zhou Yuan.

All gazes turned to Zhou Yuan.

Under the numerous watchful eyes, Zhou Yuan smiled. He looked up at Zhao Pan and said, "I appreciate the envoy's high regard, but the Sacred Palace's threshold is too high; I fear I wouldn't be able to reach it." After speaking, he looked at Mu Wuji and said, "I am willing to join the Cangxuan Sect."

His voice echoed.

And Zhao Pan's expression suddenly turned sinister, a furious shock appearing in his eyes. The next moment, he suddenly stepped forward, and a tempestuous Genesis Qi pressure instantly surged forth, engulfing Zhou Yuan.

"What an ungrateful wretch! Since that's the case, then I'll settle the matter of you slaying Wu Huang's physical body with you!" His chilling voice resounded.
