After hiding for three days, Li Wutan felt safer, so he left the cave and walked towards the outside of Longyuan Province.
The Yuhua Sect is the supporter behind the Dali Dynasty. In the Dali Dynasty, the Yuhua Sect is the only state religion. Although people do not know where the Yuhua Sect is located, some people still know that the Yuhua Mountain is located in the east.
Walking and asking along the way, Li Wutan set out from Longyuan Province, passed through several large provinces including Wuling Province, Huayang Province, Taigu Province, etc., traveled thousands of miles, and after more than twenty days of wind and frost, Li Wutan finally came to a continuous mountain range.
At a glance, you can see the endless mountains in the distance, with peaks piercing the sky and straight as arrows everywhere. Some of the peaks are covered with flowers and many palaces have been built.
Countless thousand-foot waterfalls pour down from the mountain peaks, like countless jade dragons.
The sky is azure blue, like blue crystal, never a trace of dark clouds. The sun is shining brightly, and the soft, bright sunlight shines down, spotless.
On top of those hundreds of mountain peaks, pine trees are intertwined with roots and branches, exuding an immortal aura.
In the deepest part of the mountain, amidst the mist, there was a huge sky city that was vaguely visible, floating like a mirage, making people think they had arrived in the fairyland.
Li Wutan took a look and was stunned by the scene that looked like a heavenly palace.
A heartfelt shock arose spontaneously.
Even though he already understood the extraordinaryness of the Yuhua Immortal Sect when he came here, Li Wutan was still shocked after actually seeing this fairyland-like scenery. He could not describe the feeling at all. The various peaks he had conquered were like mounds in front of the Yuhua Mountains. They were incomparable. This was the real fairy mountain!
At this time, there were already some people waiting in front of the Yuhua Mountains. There were dozens of strong men, all of whom exuded an aura above the divine power realm. These people were all young strong men from various dynasties under the command of the Yuhua Sect. These people had no connections in the Yuhua Sect, so naturally they could not be directly accepted into the sect to become an outer disciple.
These people wait here for a period of three or two days at the shortest, or ten days or half a month at the longest, all waiting for Yuhuamen to give them a chance for a unified test.
Although the Yuhua Sect has its own way of recruiting disciples and followers, these helpless young cultivators are also within their scope of investigation. These people also have the opportunity to join the sect once a month through an exam.
Li Wutan came here naturally to take advantage of this opportunity to try to join the Yuhua Sect.
"Which country is this brother from?" A young man in luxurious clothes walked towards Li Wuotan, waving a folding fan.
"I am from the Dali Dynasty. I wonder where you are from?" Li Wuotian said with a smile. The man looked to be less than 20 years old. He walked with light steps and without any sound. From his movements, Li Wuotian found that he was a young strong man who was at least at the "Aura Realm". This was not common.
You have to know that in a sect, or in a force with inheritance, the "Qiqi Realm" is certainly inferior to anything else, but in the secular world, the "Qiqi Realm" is a big shot. If you serve the court, you can at least become a general commanding thousands of troops. Li Wuotan was more cautious about this person.
"Hey, I'm Fu Chao, from the Daxu Dynasty, Fengming County. May I ask what this brother's name is?" Fu Chao paused, and then said, "I see that big brother's realm is not low, he should be a person above the 'Aura Realm', so I came here to make friends. After all, there are hundreds of thousands of outer disciples in Yuhua Sect, and the internal competition is fierce. If you want to step into the threshold of inner disciples, you need to stick together for warmth."
"Okay! I'm Li Wutian. Since Brother Fu Chao is interested in joining forces with me, I will welcome him." Li Wutian said with a smile. Although he didn't know whether this person's intention was real, he still decided to accept him. It's not easy for a lonely person to survive in Yuhua Sect. He needs a few helpers. Or in other words, a few cannon fodder!
"Haha! Okay, Brother Li, please come this way. There are three friends here, all of whom I just met. They are all very powerful. I believe they will have no problem passing the assessment of Yuhuamen." Fu Chao was delighted and hurriedly led Li Wuotian towards the three people in the distance.
"Hello, Brother Li! I'm Ding Dong, I'm at the 'Aura Realm', and I'm from the Daxu Dynasty." A man in brocade clothes clasped his fists and said.
"My name is Yang Chun, I'm at the 'Inner Strength Realm', and I'm from the Dade Dynasty." A thin man said. Although he was thin, he gave Li Wuotian an extremely dangerous feeling. It seemed that he definitely had the means to threaten him.
"My younger sister Feng Xueting, from the 'Qiqi Realm', nice to meet you, Brother Li." A gorgeous young woman in red threw a coquettish glance at Li Wuotian and raised her two peaks.
This woman has a good figure, with a pair of slender legs, a wasp waist and big breasts, and a charming look on her face. She is a stunner.
Li Wutian looked at the charming woman and said with a smile: "I am Li Wutian, and I have reached the 'Divine Bravery Realm'. From now on, we can form a team and look after each other in the outer sect. We can also help each other when we go on missions."
Just as Li Wutan was integrating into the small team, the long cries of cranes in the distance reached the sky, one after another.
Under the surprised gazes of the crowd, seven or eight white dots flew over like arrows. They were only the size of fists at first, but when they reached the sky above everyone, they had turned into cranes that were bigger than cows.
These cranes were extremely majestic. With their wings spread out, they stirred up gusts of strong wind. On their backs sat young Taoists wearing feather robes.
Chapter 48: Getting Started (asking for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets)
The crane landed, and the storm became more violent. As its wings flapped, the wind was as strong as arrows, and people and horses were knocked to the ground. Even Li Wuotian had to retreat a few steps at this level. This spiritual beast was indeed incredibly powerful.
Afterwards, these seven or eight young Taoists riding white cranes actually flew down.
These young Taoists first scanned the people present with their eyes with an arrogant look, as if they were gods looking down at mortals. Especially when their cranes stood up, they were twice as tall as humans, like huge monsters, which added to their majesty.
"Why did you mortals come to the Yuhuamen Immortal Mountain?" the leading person shouted.
Li Wuotian couldn't help but frown at this scolding. Looking at these people's cultivation, it was just the realm of divine bravery. They could only do some mountain patrol work in Yuhua Sect. They were probably outer disciples who entered the sect earlier than them. However, their attitude was so bad. It seemed that Yuhua Sect was not so harmonious. The struggle between them started from the moment they entered the sect.
"Reporting to the Immortal Master, we are here to participate in the monthly assessment of outer disciples." A man stepped out from the crowd. Although he was at the same "divine bravery realm" as these young Taoists, his attitude was extremely humble.
The outer disciples of Yuhua Sect are also high-ranking figures in the secular world, but they are not comparable to those of them who have not yet entered the sect.
Of course, if you pass the assessment, you will all be outer disciples in the future, so you naturally don’t need to be afraid of these people.
Li Wutan stood in the middle of the team but never showed his head. As the saying goes, it is easier to deal with the King of Hell than with the little devils. He had no interest in dealing with these outer disciples who patrolled the mountains.
"Hmph! Since you are here to take the test, follow me!" The young Taoist snorted coldly, his face unmoved, and he was obviously dissatisfied because these newcomers had delayed his training time.
The eight young Taoists rode away on the crane again. Li Wuotian and his men could only run on the ground according to the crane's guidance. Fortunately, the patrolling disciple knew the importance of the matter and did not fly fast, but let the crane soar slowly in the air.
As for those who can’t keep up?
I'm sorry, but there's no chance that you'll pass the trial!
Stepping into the Yuhua Mountains, the mountains are also steep and the trees are lush. Everyone follows the guidance of the cranes in the sky.
Finally, they went deep into the mountains. There were already many large halls densely packed in the mountains. There were also some disciples of the Yuhua Sect who were flying magic tools, flying around at low altitude, busy all the time.
Only when a cultivator reaches the secret realm of magical powers can he rely on his own abilities to fly. Before that, if a cultivator wants to fly, he needs to rely on the power of a flying magic tool or a spiritual tool. The people Li Wuotian saw in front of him were the disciples from the inner and outer gates. These people were all in the secret realm of the physical body, but some of them were wealthy and could get a flying magic tool, which allowed them to fly around in the air.
The disciples of Yuhua Xianshan are divided into outer disciples, inner disciples, true disciples, and then there are many elders such as the elders in charge of criminal law and martial arts, as well as deputy masters and finally the head monk.
Among them, the outer disciples fought with each other, wanting to be promoted to inner disciples, while the inner disciples fought with each other, wanting to be promoted to true disciples.
True disciples fight among themselves, hoping to be promoted to the supreme leader.
The elders also fought with each other, eyeing greater power.
The disciples with the highest status are the true disciples. Every true disciple has his own independent peak and a lofty status.
Some true disciples' magical powers were even comparable to those of the elders, but they did not make great contributions to the sect and could not be promoted.
White mist came out from Li Wuotian's mouth and nose, and white mist rose above his head. He secretly cursed the eight outer disciples of Yuhua Sect in the air. These bastards were riding on cranes and flying very fast. The people below were tired and panting. If they were not careful, they could not see the cranes in the sky, and thus could not reach the depths of Yuhua Mountains, and were eliminated.
At this time, the small team that Li Wutan had just joined, the members were quite strong and could still follow closely in the middle of the main group. However, there were a dozen people who were not strong enough and were getting farther and farther away from the main group. They could no longer be seen and were eliminated before they reached their destination.
Li Wutan naturally had no sympathy for those who were eliminated. Even his heart was beating extremely violently at this moment. Under the guidance of the crane in the sky, they galloped for a full five hundred miles in the mountains!
Finally, the crane above descended again.
The patrol disciple who had spoken earlier said, "Okay, congratulations on reaching here. In front is the place where the outer disciples of Yuhua Sect are assessed. Everyone, follow us."
Eight outer disciples got down from the crane. It was obvious that even the outer disciples of Yuhua Sect in front of them were not qualified to fly on cranes here.
Looking out, you can see a huge plain appearing among the peaks in the distance.
A majestic city was built on this plain.
There are many academies and gymnasiums in the city.
This plain is not natural. The eternal giants in the Yuhua Sect moved many peaks among the Yuhua Mountains and created this habitable plain.
This magical power of moving mountains and filling the sea is truly horrifying.
This is Yuhuamen, where the real disciples live and practice.
The number of people in the Yuhua Sect is astonishingly large, with a total of 400,000 outer disciples.
There are also about 5,000 inner disciples with prominent status.
These disciples practiced in the Yuhua Sect's academy all day long, or were organized by the sect to go out on various dangerous trials to train their will and physical strength in order to acquire supernatural powers and reach the realm of heaven in one step.
They are all people of prominent status. Even if they cannot cultivate to the realm of magical powers, they can cultivate their bodies to the highest level and make some contributions. They can obtain one or two magical instruments and spiritual tools from the Yuhua Sect, and then return to their families and enjoy endless wealth and glory in the court.
After arriving here, Li Wutan and his party secretly adjusted their breathing, then walked step by step along the road and entered the majestic city in the plain.
This city is paved entirely with white stones, which are smooth and beautiful. It is countless times more beautiful, wider, and cleaner than Longyuan City.
Li Wuotian knew that this outer sect assessment would be presided over by several so-called "half-elders" in the divine transformation realm. An assessment of this scale would naturally not be difficult for Li Wuotian.
These people also had no ability to detect his cultivation method. Even the seemingly "ordinary" top-grade treasures and Taoist robes on his body were not good or bad with their eyesight.
Only when Li Wutan is promoted to an inner disciple will he have the opportunity to meet the real elders of the Divine Power Secret Realm in formal occasions. At that time, he must be careful and not wander around wearing this supreme treasure.
Chapter 49: Yuhuamen's Entry Examination (asking for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets)
After more than half an hour, the group, led by the eight outer disciples, arrived at a mansion in the city.
This mansion covers an endless area and is even larger than the Fang Mansion that he had seen before. On the plaque above the main entrance are three large characters "Taxianyuan" written on it!
This "Taxianyuan" is the entrance academy of Yuhuamen, where the entrance disciples are tested.
At this time, in the square in front of "Taxianyuan", there were many young people, both men and women, who were dressed extremely richly, had extremely sharp eyes and had very prominent identities. It was obvious that they were all recommended to come and join the temple.
The treatment of these people is completely different from that of Li Wutan and others!
Seeing this, Li Wutan couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. When compared to others, one will die. The treatment of these princes, princesses, young masters and young ladies is indeed not comparable to that of someone like him who has no background.
Yuhua Sect, one of the ten major sects of the immortal way, controls several dynasties and is high above everyone else.
The Dali Dynasty alone has a population of several billion, with countless aristocratic families, nobles, and royal family members, all of whom are trying their best to stand out. There is no doubt that entering the Yuhua Sect, even as an outer disciple, is a capital for promotion, and one can also learn supreme magical powers.
So every month every year, someone is recommended, gets a spot, and comes here for the assessment.
"These people are all big shots. I don't know which governor's son, royal prince, princess, county lady, prince's son or whatever. Anyway, those who can come to the 'Taxianyuan' of Yuhua Gate are all people of prominent status!" Fu Chao said with emotion beside Li Wuotian.
Where is the word "fairness" in the world?
These people can set foot here directly, but those who have no one to rely on who want to join the Yuhua Sect have to be harassed by the outer disciples. The treatment of the two sides is simply as different as heaven and earth.
"Haha! A little bit of status is nothing. If you are successful in your cultivation and step into the secret realm of supernatural powers, even the emperor will give you some respect. Power is nothing but a passing cloud in front of the immortals. Fu Chao, you should restrain your emotions and concentrate on dealing with the next test." Li Wuotan said in a deep voice.
"Brother Li is right!"
The small team members on the side, Feng Xueting, Yang Chun, and Ding Dong nodded repeatedly and said yes!
Bang!
At this time, the two doors of the "Taxianyuan" slowly opened, and two young Taoists wearing water and fire Taoist robes walked out. They glanced at the people outside who were preparing to take the test, and said loudly: "Today, the outer disciple test begins, you all come in."
Immediately, these distinguished disciples filed in.
Immediately afterwards, Li Wutan and other helpless cultivators quickly followed.
As they stepped over the threshold, they suddenly felt different, as if they had truly stepped into the path to immortality.
Entering the "Taxianyuan", following the large group of people, turning left and passing through a winding corridor, rockery, and lakes that is seven or eight miles long, you will suddenly arrive at a vast hall.
The princes and sons of powerful families who had just entered were also gathered in this hall.
The hall is three thousand steps wide and can accommodate ten thousand people. People standing in it feel particularly small, especially in the deepest part of the hall, where there is a pitch-black door. From inside, you can vaguely see pairs of red eyes staring at everyone, revealing a fierce, domineering, cruel and bloody aura.
The whole hall seemed like a hall where the devil was sealed. It was gloomy and terrifying.
