Pill God Returns

"Yang Song has entered the Hanging Mountain. It seems like the recruitment standards of this year's Competition of Multi Kingdoms have been lowered by a lot."    

    

"That can't be helped. This year's Competition of Multi Kingdoms has been brought forward by a month, and we have also lost an entire month of cultivation time. A month of time is enough for many people to make a breakthrough in their cultivation."    

    

"It's better to lower the standards. I wonder if the Ten Great Sects will accept First Empyrean of True Martial Stage warriors."    

    

"First Empyrean of True Martial Stage? That's impossible. No matter how low the standard is, it's impossible for it to reach such a low level."    

    

"How is that impossible? Didn't the Savage Temple recruit a group of people from the Hengling Domain? Among those people, many of them were First Empyrean of True Martial Stage. Even the Ninth Empyrean of Spirit Sea Stage warriors were recruited by them. "    

    

"That's true. Doesn't that mean we have hope as well?"    

    

"Haha, it's worth looking forward to."    

    

Everyone was talking at the same time, and their hearts were filled with anticipation. As for those First Empyrean of True Martial Stage experts who had agreed to join the other sects, they were all filled with regret. If they had known earlier, they would have waited for a while to see if anyone from the Ten Great Sects wanted them.    

    

The old man from the Hanging Mountain slightly relaxed his brows. Originally... Normally, the people from the Hengling Domain who fulfilled the requirements would mostly enter their Hanging Mountain. They had maintained a certain connection with the Hengling Domain, the Transfer Array of the Wind Cloud Empire. It was built by them.    

    

However, an accident happened this year. A Earth Spirit Body appeared in Hengling Domain and was taken in by the Savage Temple. In order to recruit him, the Savage Temple even took away the rest of the people in the Hengling Domain. This had caused the Hanging Mountain to be unable to recruit anyone from the Hengling Domain, which was why they had recruited more people from the other domains. They were here to fill in the void in the Hengling Domain.    

    

As for the First Empyrean of True Martial Stage cultivators that these people mentioned, it was simply impossible for them to recruit them as well. Even if their Ten Great Sects lowered their standards, it was impossible for them to lower their standards to such an extent. A First Empyrean of True Martial Stage warrior, if it wasn't for his special talent... Their resources would not have been wasted on these people either.    

    

At this moment, he shifted his gaze to the Hengling Domain. He glanced at Wu Chen. This man was most powerful expert, one of the people in the Hengling Domain. He was also the only one who hadn't entered the Savage Temple, and his talent wasn't bad either. If he could recruit this man, he would be able to compete with all the other people in the Hengling Domain except for the Earth Spirit Body. Therefore, he had to recruit this little devil into the Hanging Mountain.    

    

Very quickly, Wu Chen won his opponent in the fourth round. This man was a familiar face, one of the experts of the Shiji City, Wei Mingkun.    

    

"I admit defeat."    

    

Wei Mingkun could be said to have seen Wu Chen walking towards him step by step. He knew it very well. Wu Chen's strength was very terrifying. The night before he entered the Shiji City... Wu Chen had defeated Wang Yilun. At that time, his cultivation base had just broken through to the True Martial Stage. Now, his cultivation base had improved at an incredible speed, and he had already broken through to the ___. His cultivation base was on par with his, and his strength had become even more terrifying. He was unfathomable. In the face of such a terrifying expert, he had to admit defeat. ... What else could he do?    

    

Wu Chen shrugged his shoulders. It didn't matter if Wei Mingkun admitted defeat or not. With his current strength, dealing with Wei Mingkun was a piece of cake.    

    

Wei Mingkun's admission of defeat had caused quite a stir. This was because Wei Mingkun's cultivation base was Third Empyreans Of the Genuine Martial Stage, and it was said that he already possessed the qualifications to break through to the Fourth Empyrean of True Martial Stage. Such a person actually didn't even fight Wu Chen. How could he not be shocked when he admitted defeat?    

    

However, this also showed how terrifying Wu Chen's strength was. He was definitely not someone an ordinary person could match.    

    

"Wei Mingkun, you are willing to join our Astral Sect."    

    

The Astral Sect had thrown out an olive branch to Wei Mingkun. Although he had admitted defeat, he had no choice but to admit defeat. But it doesn't affect him, because his power and cultivation are both there. His performance in the previous three matches had been stunning, and he had even defeated a Third Empyreans Of the Genuine Martial Stage expert. The reason why he admitted defeat this time was because he had encountered an existence that was even stronger than him.    

    

"I'm willing."    

    

Without any hesitation, Wei Mingkun immediately agreed. Who would be foolish enough to refuse the good intentions of the Astral Sect?    

    

Soon, the fourth round of the test was over. More than half of the people had already been recruited by the Super Sect, leaving only about one-tenth of them who had yet to join the sect.    

    

Among these one-tenth of the disciples, a large portion of them were only First Empyrean of True Martial Stage warriors. And it wasn't like the Super Sect didn't want them. It was just that their expectations for themselves were too high, and they hoped that the Ten Great Sects would lower their standards and accept them as their disciples. In the end, they rejected the invitation of the Super Sect.    

    

"The fourth round is finally over. I wonder if I will have the chance to join the Ten Great Sects? I'm regretting it now. "    

    

"I told you to agree to join the Myriad Lotus Sect a long time ago, but you refused to listen to me. Now you know how to regret it."    

    

"That's not necessarily the case. What if the Ten Great Sects takes a fancy to me?"    

    

"What? Are you still daydreaming? You are hopeless."    

    

"Let's wait for the fifth round. If the Ten Great Sects doesn't want it, I will agree to join the other Super Sect."    

    

"That's good. I hope we can make it in time."    

    

The fourth round was over. More than half of the day had passed. The next five rounds would be the key test.    

    

At this moment, an old man from the Taiyi Sect stood up from his chair of light. In his hand was a list of names.    

    

"After the first four rounds of testing and selection, I believe that many people have found a sect that they like. Next, the fifth round of testing will be held. Please prepare the names of those who have read the names. Accept the fifth round of testing. "    

    

"Sikong Sheng, Xiao Canghai, Hu Nan, Wu Chen."    

    

Very quickly, the name list was read out. There were only 24 people in total.    

    

After the name list was read out, a wave of commotion broke out in the crowd. The crowd clamored and discussed animatedly.    

    

"Why are there only 24 people? What about the others? Aren't they going to participate in the test?"    

    

"Why isn't my name here? Could it be that I've been abandoned?"    

    

"I told you to agree earlier, but you refused. Now, it's fine. You don't even have a chance to take the test. Now, let's see how you will explain it to your family."    

    

"You are only a First Empyrean of True Martial Stage, but you are delusional enough to enter the Ten Great Sects. Now, you have received your retribution."    

    

"I regret it, I regret it, I regret it."    

    

Those who didn't join the sect all regretted it. Each of them had a sad face, as if they had lost their parents.
