The day of Broad Creed Mountain's disciple recruitment ceremony was about to begin.
After the news had spread, youngsters of various lands who were looking forward to joining Broad Creed Mountain all hurried over.
The reason they had spread the news so early was to give these people time to get there.
After all, it was a long journey. For martial practitioners and even mortals with comparatively lower cultivation bases, they might not be able to reach the foot of Broad Creed Mountain their entire lives if they did not have any special means of transportation.
Just the Royal Reed Sea alone, from south to north, from east to west, spanned more than a million kilometres.
Let alone the heavens and earth outside of the Royal Reed Sea.
In order to receive these people who wished to join them and also to expand their influence, Broad Creed Mountain had dispatched many people to various locations.
Only those who had passed the initial selection process would be brought back to the Royal Reed Sea and Broad Creed Mountain to participate in this ceremony.
Currently, Broad Creed Mountain still had relatively few members in the World beyond Worlds.
Still, the already famous Broad Creed Mountain had attracted many young geniuses of their own accord to join them, saving them a great deal of effort.
In the Royal Reed Sea, while Broad Creed Mountain had not been high profile these past years, it had already soundlessly gradually permeated the entire Royal Reed Sea.
It was like back in the Eight Extremities World. Broad Creed Mountain had possessed the land of the Heaven Domain, but had many smaller sects subordinate to it, forming a massive network.
Currently, in the Royal Reed Sea, this network was also beginning to take shape. Relying on this network, Broad Creed Mountain's recruitment of talents and recruitment of disciples this time was greatly facilitated.
"Are you feeling bored not going out to receive guests?"
There were not many young martial practitioners of Broad Creed Mountain who were still here. Most of them had been sent out, with only a few remaining on the Mountain.
Yan Zhaoge naturally did not need to be sent out.
Not only could he not be sent out, he had to remain on the Mountain.
Some of the guests invited to the ceremony this time had come to Broad Creed Mountain and needed him to receive them.
Beside Yan Zhaoge stood two youngsters who shook their heads upon hearing his words, "No."
One of them was tall and sturdy. His facial features looked rather handsome.
It was just that he wore a black Yan Zhao Mask over his right eye.
It was none other than the orphan of the Listening Thunder Peak's Xia Family, Xia Guang, who had accompanied Yan Zhaoge back from the southern Blazing Heaven Territory.
At this moment, Xia Guang appeared to be less than twenty years of age.
At that time, he'd over-utilized his Bloodthunderbolt Ritual in a fierce battle with an elder of Three Foot Mountain, causing his lifespan to be greatly reduced, causing him to look as if he was over fifty and about to enter old age from the prime of his life.
That was not because Xia Guang had intentionally changed his appearance. Instead, it was because his lifespan had been greatly damaged. According to his lifespan, he was indeed about to step into old age.
But now, he seemed to have returned to his youth.
This was not because he had intentionally changed his appearance. Instead, after entering Broad Creed Mountain, he had been able to cultivate in one of the ten Primordial Heavenly Scriptures, the Life Creation Heavenly Scripture, thus greatly increasing his longevity.
Compared to his long lifespan, his current age couldn't even be considered a young man. He could only be considered a teenager.
Xia Guang's current attire had also changed from his original red clothes to the standard attire of a core, direct disciple of Broad Creed Mountain. Like Yan Zhaoge, he wore a white robe and a blue robe with a black border.
If possible, he naturally hoped to be a receptionist and welcome guests.
More than six years had passed since the massacre of the Xia family at Listening Thunder Peak.
There should be two other survivors aside from Xia Guang.
Yet, after so many years had passed, Xia Guang had still not been able to find his kin.
As time passed, Xia Guang felt increasingly uneasy, his hopes diminishing. It was just that he was unwilling to give up.
After Yan Zhaoge had shocked the world by rampaging through the south previously, Broad Creed Mountain's momentum had been extraordinary this time's opening ceremony, causing the clouds all around to move.
If his kin were still alive, they would likely have rushed over after receiving the news.
Still, Xia Guang was not suited to be a receptionist.
First not mentioning his violent temper and quick temper, he had seldom interacted with the outside world when he had lived in seclusion in the Xia Family.
While he had often ventured outside to temper himself after having entered Broad Creed Mountain, he had still not been very mature in how he dealt with people.
This had to do with his experiences and also his personality.
In recent years, the 'Blood Thunderbolt' Xia Guang had been a rather resounding name of Broad Creed Mountain's younger generation.
Still, there were both good and bad aspects to this name. While Xia Guang had established Broad Creed Mountain's might with his outstanding strength, he had also stirred up some trouble, big or small, from time to time.
While many things were not necessarily his fault, if someone more experienced in human relations were to handle them, the results would be much better.
Of course, in comparison, Yan Zhaoge was much better at stirring up trouble than him.
While Xia Guang did not want to remain on the Mountain, he had always unconditionally obeyed whatever Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di said.
It was just that ever since people had come to join the Mountain, he had often been secretly keeping watch at the entrance of the Mountain, seeing if any of his kin had arrived.
Standing beside Yan Zhaoge alongside Xia Guang was a young girl who also appeared to be less than twenty years of age. She was beautiful and transcendent, just that a cold intent emanated from her entire body.
It was Sikong Qing.
She had already Transcended Mortality and entered Sainthood several years ago. Not counting Xia Guang who had come to join him, she was the fourth Martial Saint of Broad Creed Mountain's third generation disciples after Yan Zhaoge, Xu Fei and Feng Yunsheng.
In recent years of cultivation, she had already attained the second level of the Martial Saint realm, even beginning to attempt a breakthrough into the third level of the Martial Saint realm.
Still, ever since having come to the World beyond Worlds, as compared to Xu Fei, Xia Guang and even Ying Longtu and Shi Jun, Sikong Qing had been much more low-key.
Most of the time, she would be cultivating in seclusion within the Mountain.
At this point, Sikong Qing was also aware of many things as she understood that the situation was unique. Therefore, she did not object to the arrangements made by Yan Zhaoge, Fu Enshu and the others.
She was not a restless person as she was more willing to immerse herself in the ocean of martial arts and explore its profundities.
When she had ventured out to temper herself in the past, it had been more for the sake of tempering herself rather than out of interest.
Not being a receptionist, remaining on the Mountain would have more time to cultivate. Sikong Qing would naturally not feel bored.
"If I am not wrong, junior apprentice-sister Sikong, after this opening ceremony, there will be a preliminary confirmation of your matter," Yan Zhaoge said. "It is just that it is still uncertain whether the outcome will be good or bad at that time. You still need to be prepared for it."
As compared to whether it would be safe or not, the outcome here more referred to whether Sikong Qing still had to remain low-key and bide her time like she was now.
Sikong Qing said calmly, "It is fine. I understand."
Now, some other Broad Creed Mountain disciples approached, unable to conceal the reverence in their gazes as they looked at Yan Zhaoge.
Yan Zhaoge turned, smiling, "What is it?"
That disciple hurriedly answered, "Senior apprentice-uncle Yan, a guest has arrived. Chief invites you to go receive him."
"Oh?" Yan Zhaoge asked, "Do you know who it is?"
The other party answered, "He calls himself the 'Earthly Young Master', surnamed Chen and named Kunhua."
