Six months later …
On the training grounds of Nameless Peak, two figures were in the midst of training. A series of dull thuds could be heard throughout the entire Nameless Peak.
"Both of you, come and take a rest. There's no rush." Gong Bingye called out softly as she looked at the two figures.
"Yes, Sister Gong." Zhiqiao put down the long sword in her hands and picked up the pastries on the table, munching on them in satisfaction.
"I'll be there in a while." You Jiuling did not stop there. Her scrawny body continued to press against the mechanism of the wooden stake as she continued to strike her body.
With every hit, You Jiuling bit down on her lips to prevent herself from crying out. Her delicate face was sweating profusely, but she did not complain at all.
Every time he hammered, a surge of energy would flow through his limbs and meridians.
Zhiqiao, this lass, cultivated the Will of the Sword. As for You Jiuling, she did not cultivate the Will of the Sword. Instead, she cultivated the Titanium Grade Demon Body.
This skill originally only had three levels. But when it was imparted to someone, it could be trained up to level 6. Therefore, when Lin Fan had nothing better to do, he would write down all six levels and place them on Nameless Peak.
You Jiuling wanted to follow her Master's footsteps. Therefore, she chose to cultivate the Titanium Grade Demon Body.
This skill was extremely tough. For a child, it was hard to bear.
After You Jiuling acknowledged Lin Fan as her Master, she did not keep it for herself. Instead, she wrote down the Heaven graded upper level skill, Heaven and Earth Five Thunder Palm and placed it in the Nameless Peak's Skill Chamber.
When the last hit of the wooden pole landed on You Jiuling's body, a warm current broke through the bottleneck.
Titanium Grade Demon Body level 1 was completed.
You Jiuling wiped the sweat off her forehead and walked in front of Gong Bingye. Smiling sweetly, she picked up a pastry and said, "Thank you, Sister Gong."
During this period of time, Gong Bingye had resigned from her position as the Family Leader and stayed on Nameless Peak to take care of these two children.
"Junior Sister, Master said that cultivation must be done slowly. There's no rush." Even though Zhiqiao was young, she had entered the sect early. Therefore, she was no longer the youngest Junior Sister. Instead, she had successfully become the Senior Sister.
"Senior Sister, that's not right. Cultivation has to be persistent. Once you enter the right state, you have to push forward with an indomitable will, all the way till the end." You Jiuling munched on the cake while shaking her head.
Zhiqiao pouted. "Junior-apprentice Sister, I'm your senior-apprentice sister. You have to listen to me."
"That's not right. Senior Sister is wrong. Junior Sister has to correct her as well." You Jiuling shook her head.
"Junior Sister, if you don't listen to me, I won't play with you anymore." It wasn't easy for Zhiqiao to become a Senior Sister. Naturally, she wanted to enjoy the charm of becoming a Senior Sister.
"That's not right. You can't just listen blindly. You have to have your own thoughts." You Jiuling picked up another piece of pastry and said.
"Junior Sister, you have to listen to your Senior Sister's words." Zhiqiao placed her hands on her hips and acted like an adult.
"No." You Jiuling shook her head.
...
Looking at this scene, Gong Bingye pursed her lips and smiled, "Alright … alright, stop arguing. Eat your food and don't talk."
"Sister Gong is right. Eat your food and don't talk." You Jiuling replied.
Zhiqiao pouted her lips with a defeated look on her face. She had thought that after becoming a Senior Sister, she would have a little bum following her around. But to think that this Junior Sister would not listen to her at all!
Xiaobai, who was resting at the side, roared out lazily as well, as though he was agreeing with this statement.
"Sister Gong, I'm done eating. I'm going to cultivate now." You Jiuling wiped her mouth, "Senior Sister, don't you slack off! Otherwise, you'll lose all your face if I catch up to you!"
"There's no way I'll lose to you!" The moment Zhiqiao heard this, she swallowed the pastry down and went back into cultivation mode.
Zhang Ergou, who had been busy the entire time, looked at his two Junior Sisters. He then looked at the spirit statue in the Main Hall and let out a smile.
"Don't worry, Master. We've been working hard."
In this period of time, Xuan Yunxian would come by once a month. The first time she came, she would stand guard in front of the spirit statue for three days and three nights before leaving quietly.
The Fourteen Sand Bandits had come by a couple of times as well. Each time they did, they would report on how far they had progressed on the path of robbing and what sort of realizations they had gained.
...
Within that mysterious space …
Lin Fan could not move a single step. Eventually, he sat down cross-legged and entered into a state of enlightenment, sensing everything around him.
In this state of enlightenment, Lin Fan gradually entered into a mysterious state.
It was an indescribable state. That light spot that was so close yet so far away seemed to be floating right beside him.
As for how much time had passed, he had no idea at all. He did not know what was happening outside either.
Lin Fan had always wanted to wake up as soon as possible. He did not want to turn into a zombie.
As for whether or not his physical body state would be damaged, that was something that Lin Fan was not worried about.
Given his physical body state right now, no matter who it was, they would not be able to damage a single bit of it. Indestructible physical body state was no joke.
At this moment, Lin Fan seemed to have found a way back. That was because those light spots seemed to be able to be controlled while he was in the state of enlightenment.
Or perhaps, these light spots were forming a maze. As long as he could find the exit, he would be able to walk out and return his consciousness to his body.
Seven months had passed …
Eight months had passed …
...
One year later …
Glory Sect was bustling with activity today. There were many people gathered at the entrance of the sect.
These people were all commoners. The reason why they were gathered at the entrance was because the recruitment period of Glory Sect had arrived.
For these commoners, they all wanted to join a big sect and become a disciple of a big sect. They wanted to learn those unparalleled skills and walk towards the pinnacle of their lives.
Some of these commoners did not have a weak cultivation state to begin with. However, in order to pursue a higher cultivation state, they could only join a sect.
For these commoners, some of them had decent cultivation states to begin with. However, in order to pursue a higher cultivation state, they could only join a sect.
For these commoners, the treasures of the Heavens and Earth were things that they could only dream of.
Some of these commoners came from illustrious backgrounds, and were disciples of the royal family of a country. Some of them were poor and destitute, and belonged to the commoners amongst the commoners.
At this moment, all of the commoners who had come for the examination were whispering and discussing amongst themselves.
"Silence." Suddenly, a figure appeared at the entrance of the sect, looking down at the crowd with a stern expression.
All of the people who had come for the examination shut their mouths as they looked at the figure with a fiery gaze.
And this figure was none other than Zong Hentian.
"Participants of the examination, the first test is to climb the Heavenly Stairs." Zong Hentian said. He then opened up his palm. All of the participants who had a cultivation state suddenly realized that their cultivation states were being locked down.
There were a total of more than 300 steps in Glory Sect.
"Once you reach the top, you will pass the first test."
After saying this, Zong Hentian walked up.
All of the participants followed closely behind, fighting to be the first to climb.
...
Time passed by quickly. Eventually, only half of them managed to make it through.
As for those who did not succeed, they were extremely disappointed. On the other hand, those who succeeded were ecstatic as they chatted with one another.
Zong Hentian stood before a statue. Raising his head, his face was filled with longing.
"All of you, shut up!" The moment Zong Hentian heard these participants talking loudly, his face turned frosty as he scolded them.
"Everyone, raise your heads and look at this statue for an entire day and night." Zong Hentian looked at the statue and said gently.
Within the crowd, someone asked meekly, "May I know if this is the second test?"
"No." Zong Hentian replied.
The moment everyone heard this, they could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
Some of the people who used to be arrogant and despotic were grumbling as well.
"What's so good about this broken statue?"
"It's laughing like an idiot."
"Could it be a chicken? That's way too ugly! "
"Sects sure are weird. To look at this statue for an entire day and night, wouldn't they go blind?"
But of course, these were just their thoughts. They did not dare to voice it out. But now that they had entered a sect, they had to look at it.
Zong Hentian looked at this batch of participants and spoke up, "The person on this statue is a man of indomitable spirit. If any of you don't want to look at it, you can continue with the second test."
The moment everyone heard this, their hearts leaped with joy. Since they did not have to look at it, what was the point of looking at it? Naturally, they would continue with the test. What was so good about a broken statue?
One after another, people followed behind Zong Hentian. However, there were still three people below the statue.
The three of them were not standing. They were kneeling down and kowtowing.
The people following behind Zong Hentian were laughing out in their hearts. Were these three retarded? Not only could they not stand, they had to kneel?
"Aren't you guys going to take part in the test?" Zong Hentian looked at the three of them and asked.
"Sir, our country was once attacked by a beast stampede. It was this sir who saved our country. We know that he's from Glory Sect. Therefore, we came all the way here to join Glory Sect." The three of them replied.
"Junior Master, to think that there are so many things that we don't know about you." Zong Hentian looked at the statue once more. He then looked at the people behind him, "You guys have been disqualified. Leave now."
"Huh?" The moment everyone heard this, they were dumbfounded. They did not know what was going on. The second test hadn't even started, and it was over just like that?
"The three of you have passed the test. From now on, you're disciples of Glory Sect. Follow me." Zong Hentian pointed at the three of them. Ignoring the dumbfounded faces of the crowd, he prepared to leave.
The three of them were equally dumbfounded. They had not expected to become disciples of Glory Sect just like that. This … this was way too easy, wasn't it?
"BOOM!"
At that moment, a loud sound came from the statue.
Zong Hentian, who was about to leave, stopped in his tracks. His face changed as he looked at the statue in disbelief.
"Could it be …?"
Just then, a voice boomed through the skies.
"Holy f * ck! How much pain and suffering did the Young Master go through? How many brain cells did he waste? Finally, he's out of the maze and back …!"
