The journey back was very quiet. Mo Wuji was a little depressed that he did not meet any Six-footed Lightning Crocodiles. He still had seven bottles of channel opening solution on him. If he could meet some lightning crocodiles, he was confident that he could open more than 30 meridians.
Two days later, Mo Wuji and Ding Bu'Er returned to Tian Luo Restaurant. Shen Lian was still nowhere to be seen. After knowing that Mo Wuji could cultivate and that Shen Lian was an immortal master, Ding Bu'Er decided to stay in the living room.
Mo Wuji did not stand on ceremony with Ding Bu'Er. Now that he had opened 27 meridians, it was time for him to cultivate.
When Mo Wuji started his spiritual energy circulation, he was almost shocked out of his wits. No matter how much spiritual energy he absorbed, it was like a drop of water falling into the ocean. It did not hinder his cultivation at all. Previously, when he reached Channel Opening Stage Level 1, he felt that he had reached a bottleneck. But now that he had opened 27 meridians, he had a feeling that as long as he continued to cultivate, his 27 meridians would be able to absorb more spiritual energy.
As he continued to absorb spiritual energy, his cultivation level continued to rise.
Even though Mo Wuji had never seen a genius cultivate, he could guess that even a genius would not be able to absorb spiritual energy as fast as him. His twenty-seven meridians were like a vast ocean, allowing him to freely roam about.
Mo Wuji forcefully suppressed the ecstasy in his heart. Whether meridians were spirit channels or not did not matter to him. With his current cultivation speed, he believed that as long as his meridians could keep up, no genius could compare to him.
Two days passed in a flash. Mo Wuji could clearly feel that he had reached the peak of Channel Opening Stage Level 1. Just as he was about to break through to Channel Opening Stage Level 2, he stopped.
It was not because his meridians were restricting his cultivation, but because he did not have the experience to break through to the second level. Shen Lian was not around, and he was afraid that he might make a mistake in his cultivation, resulting in an irreparable mistake. More importantly, the Spring Immortal's Gate was about to begin. Who knew how long it would take to break through to the second level?
...
As Mo Wuji walked out of the room, he saw Shen Lian staring at Ding Bu'Er. Seeing Mo Wuji, Shen Lian frowned and asked, "Mo Wuji, who is he?"
"He is Ding Bu'Er, my friend. Originally, your room was reserved for him, but you didn't have a place to stay, so I let you stay first. When Bu 'Er came, he insisted on not touching your room, so he stayed in the living room. "
Mo Wuji's words rendered Shen Lian, who was about to reprimand her, speechless.
Sensing that something was amiss, Shen Lian hurriedly said, "The Spring Immortal's Gate Conference has begun. I'm here to ask you to try your luck."
Ding Bu'Er was secretly praising Mo Wuji for his eloquence. When he heard Shen Lian say that the Spring Immortal's Gate Conference had begun, his gaze immediately landed on Shen Lian.
Initially, he did not have much expectations for the Spring Immortal's Gate Conference. Now that he had a Winged Sea Leopard egg, if he used it well, he might be able to join an immortal sect. Even if he was a servant disciple, being able to join an Immortal Sect was a very impressive thing.
Moreover, Wuji could cultivate even though he had mortal roots, so he might be able to cultivate as well.
"Let's go, we're here for the Spring Immortal's Gate Conference," Mo Wuji said hurriedly.
Mo Wuji knew his own situation. He was sure that his cultivation speed was not any slower than any other genius. But in reality, he was a mortal without spiritual roots. During the Spring Immortal's Gate Conference, it was almost impossible for a mortal like him to become a true disciple of an Immortal Sect.
Mo Wuji did not mind this at all. He was sure that he could join the Formless Blade Sect and become a servant disciple. That was enough for him. His main motive for joining an Immortal Sect was to come into contact with some immortal masters. If there were things he did not understand during cultivation, he could at least find someone to ask.
...
Mo Wuji did not know how big Chang Luo was. He only knew that Chang Luo was the capital of the Xing Han Empire. At the same time, he also knew that Chang Luo was the biggest city in the Xing Han Empire. He had been in Chang Luo for a month, but he had not even seen a single corner of the city. He did not even know where the Imperial Palace was.
Today, he followed Shen Lian to Chang Luo's Imperial Plaza. Only then did he know that Chang Luo had such a spacious place. The plaza was filled with people. Mo Wuji and Shen Lian arrived late, so they could only watch from the outside.
In the middle of the plaza, there was an equally spacious marble platform. In the middle of this platform, there was a crystal pillar that was two meters tall. Mo Wuji knew that this was the item used to test for spiritual roots.
Other than this crystal pillar, there were tens of round altars built by sects around it. Every round altar was labelled with the name of the sect. Moreover, the altars of the big sects were larger, and were built more majestically. For example, the Heavenly Temple at the very front. Not only was it eye-catching, it was also several times the size of the other altars.
From Mo Wuji's perspective, this was a job fair. Big companies and small companies could be distinguished with one look.
Around the altars where the tens of sects were built, there were many signboards. However, these signboards all stated that they were recruiting service disciples. Mo Wuji could easily see where the Formless Blade Sect was recruiting service disciples. According to the scale of the Formless Blade Sect, it could only be considered to be below average among the tens of sects.
Shen Lian said to Mo Wuji, "Did you see? This Spring Immortal's Gate Conference is different from the past. In the past, only certain geniuses could take part in the test, and then participate in the sect selection. This time around, other than the geniuses, as long as you feel that your spiritual roots are not bad, you can participate in the sect selection. Take you for example, even though you came here as a servant. If you feel that your spiritual roots are not bad, you can still participate in the sect selection. "
Mo Wuji subconsciously looked at the dense crowd, and asked in surprise, "If all these people participate in the selection, how long will it take?"
Shen Lian laughed, "Do you think that anyone can take the test on the high platform? Only certain people can take the test on the high platform. If you are not a genius, then you have to pass the outer test first. "
As she said this, Shen Lian pointed to a tall building at the edge of the plaza, "That is the outer test area. There are some benefits to the outer test. Firstly, the fees are low. Secondly, if your talent is not good enough to become an outer disciple, you can apply to be a service disciple. For example, the service disciple recruitment office."
"Wuji, I'm going over there to test my spiritual roots." Ding Bu'Er saw that many people were rushing towards the outer test hall, and became anxious.
Mo Wuji did not intend to continue testing, and nodded to Ding Bu'Er, "Go ahead, good luck."
"Which sect are you from?" Mo Wuji suddenly thought of Shen Lian. Shen Lian was very knowledgeable, and was already at Channel Opening Stage Level 4 at such a young age.
"Even if I told you, you wouldn't know." Shen Lian casually replied, as if she did not want to delve deeper into this question.
Mo Wuji did not ask any further. He saw a tall man land on the round marble platform in the middle of the plaza, and stand beside the crystal pillar.
The huge crowd quietened down, and all eyes were on this tall man.
"On behalf of the Xing Han Empire, I welcome the various sects to Chang Luo for the disciple selection. I also welcome the geniuses of the Xing Han Empire to come to Chang Luo to choose their sects. The auspicious time has come, light up the firecrackers... "
As the tall man said this, nine firecrackers sounded from the edge of the marble platform.
"Who is this? Could it be the Emperor of the Xing Han Empire?" Mo Wuji whispered to Shen Lian.
"Of course it's the Emperor of the Xing Han Empire. Who else do you think it is?" Shen Lian rolled her eyes at Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji asked in confusion, "Even though the Emperor has a high status, this is the Immortal Sect Selection Conference. He shouldn't be considered much, right?"
Shen Lian looked at Mo Wuji speechlessly, "Do you think the Emperor of an empire is that simple? It's true that the Emperor cannot be placed above the sects. But do you think the top experts of the sects would come for this Spring Immortal's Gate Selection Conference? Those who come are just small fries. Even if there are some big shots, it would only be one or two. Their goal is to find a successor, and they would not even bother to show themselves. "
