"Situ Gang, this fellow is a Body Tempering Cultivator. Use your true abilities. Otherwise, others will think that the people of the battle realms are only capable of this much."
A battle-realm cultivator behind Situ Gang shouted with blazing eyes.
Ten thousand meters in the air, the two true inheritors who had brought in Xiao Chen and the others earlier watched the situation below with interest.
Chen Xiao smiled faintly and said indifferently, "Wang Cheng, these people from the lower realms are more interesting than we thought."
The youth called Wang Cheng said sullenly, "I nearly misjudged this Xiao Chen. His cultivation is not high, but he also cultivates a Body Tempering Technique. His strength is not that simple."
Chen Xiao looked around and said, "Senior Brother Wang, what do you think of these geniuses from the lower realms? Do you think any of them can become true inheritors?"
Wang Cheng entered deep thought and said, "I noticed that at least ten people have pretty good talent. This is especially so for that battle realm's Situ Gang. His cultivation is so vast that no one here can compare to him. If he enters a berserk state, he will be even more horrifying.
"However, it is hard to say whether they can become true inheritors or not. Let's see if they can handle the competition between the inner sect's five big factions first."
A disciple flew down from the floating inner city and landed beside the two. After bowing respectfully, he handed over a document and said, "Senior Brothers, the distribution of the inner and outer sect disciples that the elders discussed is already out."
Chen Xiao received the document and said, "Unexpectedly, they discussed for so long. However, it is finally out. If we had waited any longer, we would have run out of patience."
Wang Cheng smiled gently and said, "That's normal. The treatment of the inner sect disciples and the outer sect disciples is very different. It is already beyond my expectations that they can come out so quickly."
The two casually flipped through the document and slowly flew down to the courtyard, preparing to announce the contents of the document.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the courtyard was extremely heavy. The fanaticism in Situ Gang's eyes turned into a blazing flame. His strong aura slowly soared.
When everyone sensed it, they felt their hearts palpitate. They unknowingly took two steps back, afraid of getting caught up in the shockwaves of the battle.
There were rumors of the destructive power of the people of the battle realms unleashing their true strength. No one was willing to suffer such a calamity.
However, on the other side, Xiao Chen did not show any intention of backing down. He gathered his aura. Even when facing a strong battle-realm expert, he was neither servile nor overbearing, maintaining a calm expression.
Hu chi!
However, just as the intense battle was about to erupt, two vast auras suddenly appeared in the courtyard that tore through the clouds.
It was as if an invisible ocean had suddenly crashed down, silently covering everything.
Although Situ Gang's valiant and frightening aura was powerful, it was not worth mentioning in this vast ocean. Very quickly, it was submerged and disappeared without a trace.
Everyone quickly looked over and saw that Chen Xiao and Wang Cheng were already standing on top of the wall.
"It's a true disciple!"
Someone immediately recognized who they were. Their gazes were filled with yearning. They were shocked by the strength they had displayed.
Just by relying on their auras, they easily resolved the situation. Even someone as irascible as Situ Gang did not dare to lose his temper.
"Very good. At least you know your limits. Now, I will announce which of you can enter the inner sect and which will be assigned to the outer sect."
When Chen Xiao saw that no one said anything, he nodded and spoke in a calm tone.
When everyone heard this, they pricked up their ears. Outer sect and inner sect. There was only a difference of one word, but the treatment they received was as different as heaven and earth.
Everyone hoped that they would be assigned to the inner sect. Everyone showed expressions of anticipation as they waited quietly.
Wang Cheng, who was at the side, held the official document and said, "I will only read out the names of the people assigned to the inner sect. Those whose names are not read out are naturally outer sect disciples."
As the names were read out one by one, several people revealed joyful smiles. As for those whose names were not read out, they waited anxiously.
Xiao Chen did not have to wait for long before he heard his name called. He relaxed slightly.
As for Yue Chenxi and Gong Yangyu, they did not hear their names read out. Although they had expected this, they could not help but feel disappointed.
"I am not convinced. Why is he only an early-stage Inferior Grade Martial Monarch? Furthermore, he is a cultivator of the Sky Dome Realm. He is directly sent to the inner sect. I am a peak Inferior Grade Martial Monarch, yet I still have to struggle in the outer sect. "
A long-faced cultivator whose name was not read out shouted as he pointed at Xiao Chen.
The moment this cultivator said this, the people whose names were not read out felt dissatisfied and echoed his sentiments.
There were always some people who felt that others were only so-so, that they could not compare to them.
Xiao Chen did not find this strange. He could not be bothered with them, waiting to see how the two true inheritors would deal with this.
Chen Xiao and Wang Cheng did not seem surprised. Their gazes casually landed on the person who caused trouble first.
"This is not fair, absolutely not fair. I want to fight with him. I can prove that I am qualified to enter the inner sect."
That long-faced cultivator jabbered on endlessly to Chen Xiao and Wang Cheng.
Wang Cheng frowned slightly and pointed with his finger. A deep blue sword Qi shot out from his fingertip.
The sword Qi was incredibly sharp. It ignored the long-faced cultivator's protective Quintessence and directly tore a small hole in his chest.
Without any warning, Wang Cheng attacked directly, mercilessly teaching this person a lesson. When the other people who agreed with the long-faced cultivator saw this scene, they immediately shut up.
"Why did you injure me? I did not do anything wrong. Are you all that great just because you are true inheritors?" the long-faced cultivator asked as he held his chest in intense pain.
Wang Cheng did not say anything. Chen Xiao formed hand seals with both hands and formed a cage-like hand seal. Then, he sent it at the long-faced cultivator.
A light flickered, and the cage-like hand seal entered the long-faced cultivator's body. His aura vanished, and he became like an ordinary person.
"What's going on? Why can't I circulate my Quintessence?"
The long-faced cultivator exclaimed in horror when he felt the situation in his body.
Chen Xiao said expressionlessly, "As true inheritors, we have the authority to enforce the rules. We can kill those who look down on the decisions of the Elders' Assembly.
"Since this is your first time in the Haotian Sect, I will only punish you a little. I will seal your dantian for one month."
Wang Cheng said, "Outer sect disciples can take the test every once in a while. If you are strong enough, it would not be difficult for you to become an inner sect disciple."
Seeing the two's strength, no one dared to say anything else. They all kept quiet.
The two leaped off the wall, and Chen Xiao said, "Inner sect disciples, follow me to the east of the city. Senior Brother Wang will lead the outer sect disciples."
The one or two hundred people who came split into two groups and headed out of the courtyard.
Just as they were about to leave, Yue Chenxi said sincerely, "Senior Brother Xiao Chen, thank you for your help."
Xiao Chen had risked offending a battle-realm genius to shield her. Yue Chenxi's gratitude to Xiao Chen was indescribable.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "You are my friend. If you are in trouble, how can I sit back and do nothing? I believe that you will definitely help me if I am in trouble. Work hard. I will look out for you in the inner sect. Given your talent, you will definitely regain your former pride. "
Yue Chenxi nodded heavily and said, "I definitely will."
The two waved goodbye. Gong Yangyu, who was at the side, said some words of thanks before leaving silently.
Under Chen Xiao's lead, the group quickly headed to the east of the city. The east of the city was very large, but there was only one entrance.
There were people guarding the entrance. When the disciples guarding the entrance saw Chen Xiao, they immediately bowed respectfully.
"Every month, you will receive ten thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones and ten Inferior Grade Spirit Gathering Pearls. Every seven days, an old senior of the sect will give you a lecture. However, you are not allowed to ask questions. If you ask in private, you will have to pay Spirit Stones. "
Chen Xiao first brought the group to register. After they received their inner sect identity medallions, he explained the treatment and sect rules that inner sect disciples enjoyed.
Ten thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones and ten Inferior Grade Spirit Gathering Pearls. Everyone could not help but reveal expressions of joy. None of the sects in the lower realms were able to enjoy such treatment.
Furthermore, Spirit Gathering Pearls were even rarer. They required a large number of Martial Sages to refine them by exhausting their cultivation.
The teachings of an old senior would also enlighten them. Most true experts would not be so kind as to share their cultivation experiences with others.
"This is where you will be staying. Every ten rooms will share a Rank 1 Spirit Vein's origin. Every month, you will need to spend ten thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones."
Chen Xiao pointed at a row of simple residential areas and said slowly.
When everyone heard the first half of what Xiao Chen said, they all revealed excited expressions.
In the lower realm, a Rank 1 Spirit Vein's origin could support a large sect with tens of thousands of people. Here, ten inner sect disciples could share one.
However, when they heard the second half of what Xiao Chen said, their faces immediately sank. They would only receive ten thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones a month. Just the cost of their accommodation would be used up.
If they wanted to cultivate, obtain Medicinal Pills, or go out exploring, they would not have any Spirit Stones left.
"You need Spirit Stones? That is too expensive."
Chen Xiao ignored everyone's complaints. He continued, "If you want to stay in a better place, you can pay an additional Spirit Stone and enjoy a Spirit Vein's origin to yourself.
"Furthermore, everyone will have to take on a mission from the sect at least once a month. However, you new disciples will have one month to familiarize yourselves."
After that, Chen Xiao answered a few simple questions from the crowd. Then, he took his leave. Before everyone's envious gazes, he flew to the floating mountain peak that belonged to him.
The houses in the residential area were all adjacent to each other. Compared to the independent courtyard that Xiao Chen lived in, the environment was much simpler.
After tidying up the house, Xiao Chen sat at the head of the bed and started to think about his cultivation goals.
