"Swoosh!"
The huge sword shrunk and returned to the scabbard on Elder Gu Qingyang's back, causing Du Shaofu's gaze to be slightly curious. However, when he looked around, he was even more shocked.
The surrounding huge mountains were continuous. This square was actually formed by cutting off the top of a mountain.
In front of the square was a suspension bridge that was over a thousand feet long. The bridge was covered with wooden planks that connected to a mountain in front.
At the peak of the mountain, the three large words' Ancient Heaven Sect 'were engraved in a flamboyant and flamboyant manner. Looking at it, one could feel a vast aura surging over, causing one's heart to tremble. It was as if a hundred thousand mountains were collapsing, causing Du Shaofu to immediately withdraw his gaze.
Behind the mountain, there were continuous ancient buildings that were majestic and magnificent. Waves of vast aura slowly rippled.
From the surrounding natural energy fluctuations, in addition to the talent of his Pulse Spirit, it was not difficult for Du Shaofu to sense that there were many powerful symbol arrays hidden outside the mountain gate of the Ancient Sky Sect.
"Greetings, Elder."
The sound of rushing wind resounded. Soon after, many figures landed on the square. Their auras were not weak. All of them respectfully bowed.
There was a total of over ten young men and women. All of them were around twenty-one or twenty-two years old. However, their auras had all reached the Martial Lord level.
"As expected of the Ancient Sky Sect!"
This caused Du Shaofu to be involuntarily shocked. As expected of the Ancient Sky Sect. The younger generation guarding the gate actually had such talent.
"Rise."
Elder Gu Qingyang gestured for everyone to bow. After which, he said to Du Shaofu beside him, "Shaofu, follow me. This is the Ancient Sky Sect."
Du Shaofu nodded. Under the surprised gazes of the surrounding young men and women, he followed Elder Gu Qingyang onto the suspension bridge.
The wooden planks on the bridge were ancient, as if they had withstood the passage of countless years. Clouds were faintly drifting in the surroundings, and the valley below was deep like an abyss, giving people the feeling that they were in the clouds.
On the way to the Ancient Heaven Sect, Du Shaofu learned from Elder Gu Qingyang why Elder Gu Qingyang had come looking for him.
It turned out that when he was chased by several Kings on the Central Province's Long River, he encountered many fierce beasts and array glyphs. In the end, he even picked up a storage ring, which turned out to be the Ancient Heaven Sect's Outer Sect Disciple's promotion to Inner Sect Disciple.
However, he accidentally broke into it and took away a Qiankun Bag. It was supposed to be a reward for the first place in the assessment area. The middle-grade Dao Tool 'Heaven's Net' and a kind of Spiritual Medicine Liquid were also the rewards for the first place. However, they all fell into his hands in the end.
After crossing the suspension bridge, they entered the Ancient Heaven Sect. There was no extravagance or splendor, and there were traces of vicissitudes everywhere. The buildings were ancient.
"Greetings, Elder."
Along the way, many disciples of the Ancient Heaven Sect bowed respectfully when they saw Gu Qingyang.
On the other hand, Du Shaofu was shocked along the way. The young disciples of the Ancient Heaven Sect he met all had extraordinary cultivation bases. Any one of them would be a rare genius in the Stone Dragon Empire or Tianwu Academy.
However, these young disciples, who were considered geniuses in the outside world, didn't seem to have a high status in the Ancient Heaven Sect.
With so many geniuses gathered in the Ancient Heaven Sect, Du Shaofu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
No wonder the Ancient Heaven Sect could remain one of the nine major powers. With so many geniuses gathered here, it was enough to provide the Ancient Heaven Sect with an endless stream of new blood. There would always be someone who could stand out and become a top expert, allowing the Ancient Heaven Sect to stand tall.
At the same time, Du Shaofu was shocked to see so many geniuses gathered here, and they were all from the younger generation. At the same time, he was also a young man. Youthful blood always had a competitive heart. At this moment, he couldn't help but secretly look forward to walking his own path in the Ancient Heaven Sect. Would he be able to look down on everyone in the Ancient Heaven Sect?
"Shaofu, the Sect Affairs Office is on the left. You should report there first and receive your Munchū badge. This is a must-have item for the Munchū. After that, you can find me at the 'Tian Mu Peak'. I have to go find the Sect Master first, so I won't accompany you."
Elder Gu Qingyang interrupted Du Shaofu's hot-blooded thoughts and roughly pointed in a direction. He looked at Du Shaofu and said, "Although this is the Ancient Heaven Sect, the Ancient Heaven Sect isn't an ordinary place. It's not a teahouse, nor is it a home. The competition here might be crueler than you imagine. If there is competition, there will be fighting. As long as you don't go overboard, the Munchū won't suppress you. Therefore, you have to be careful and don't let others bully you."
"Yes."
Du Shaofu nodded. Although he didn't understand the specific meaning of Elder Gu Qingyang's words, he could vaguely understand some of it.
He was afraid that cultivating in the Ancient Heaven Sect wouldn't be too peaceful. Wherever there were people, there would be fighting, let alone in a place like the Ancient Heaven Sect where geniuses gathered.
Every genius had their own temperament and pride. It would be strange if there weren't any fights when they were placed together.
Du Shaofu more or less understood this. If the Ancient Heaven Sect was peaceful everywhere, it probably wouldn't have been able to become one of the nine great powers. Only with competition would there be progress. This was the most powerful guarantee for the Ancient Heaven Sect to nurture countless experts.
Whoosh …
As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Gu Qingyang turned around and left. Du Shaofu also turned around and headed in the direction Elder Gu Qingyang had pointed out. Along the way, he met many disciples of the Ancient Heaven Sect, but none of them recognized Du Shaofu, nor did they greet him.
"So this is the Ancient Heaven Sect."
Du Shaofu walked slowly through the Ancient Heaven Sect, looking around. He felt like he was in a dream. Back then, he had come to the Central Continent to explore. How could he have imagined that he would return to the Ancient Heaven Sect now?
He remembered that when Guo Ming was in Beiling City, he had wanted to invite him to join the Profound Talisman Sect. He had no intention of joining back then, but now he had joined the Ancient Heaven Sect. Du Shaofu thought that this might be the will of the heavens.
However, after half an hour, Du Shaofu finally found the general affairs office in the direction Elder Gu Qingyang had indicated.
It was a medium-sized courtyard. The square outside was filled with many young male and female disciples. The youngest was seventeen or eighteen years old, while the oldest was twenty-two or twenty-three years old.
These young male and female disciples weren't old, but their auras were extremely strong. Only a few of them were at the Pulse Spirit Realm. Most of them were at the Martial Lord Realm.
Du Shaofu found a young man and asked. After confirming that this was the general affairs office, he also began to line up behind the crowd.
From the discussions of the surrounding disciples, Du Shaofu learned that these young male and female disciples were outer sect disciples of the Ancient Heaven Sect. They had come to the general affairs office to receive their monthly daily necessities and a fixed amount of medicinal pills. However, it was said that the resources of the outer sect disciples were much worse than the inner sect disciples.
While waiting in line and listening to the discussions around him, Du Shaofu gained a general understanding of the Ancient Heaven Sect.
In the Ancient Heaven Sect, not only were they disciples, but they were also princes and princesses of the various empires.
However, in the Ancient Heaven Sect, if one's talent wasn't enough, they could only be outer sect disciples. They were all treated the same. Princes and princesses didn't have any privileges in the Ancient Heaven Sect.
Inner sect disciples had a high status in the Munchū. Even their living quarters were different from the outer sect disciples.
The Ancient Heaven Sect was also filled with competition. Aside from not killing, there were countless fights every day.
In the Munchū, there were even cases of people snatching treasures.
However, this kind of thing couldn't be done anywhere. Instead, it had to be done in a place called the Sky Martial Plaza. Otherwise, they would be severely punished by the Munchū.
After waiting for more than an hour, it was finally Du Shaofu's turn. However, at this time, there was also a long line behind Du Shaofu.
"Where's your badge and sect pass? You need to use your badge and sect pass to receive them."
Inside the Chore House, what opened the door to the outside was not a door, but a window. It was only the size of two heads, and a young man of about 28 or 29 years of age poked his head out and looked at Du Shaofu.
"I …"
Just as Du Shaofu was about to speak, a commotion suddenly came from the crowd behind him. Then, a loud shout entered Du Shaofu's ears. "Brat, get out of the way! Let us receive it first. Step aside."
"It's the people from the Crouching Tiger Society."
"It's Zheng Mingzhou. We can't afford to offend them. His elder brother has already become an inner sect disciple."
"It's a pity that he didn't pass the test. He's still an outer sect disciple."
Amidst the commotion, some soft discussions could be heard. Figures immediately retreated, as if they didn't want to provoke anyone.
At this moment, Du Shaofu raised his head and saw a dozen young men with arrogant faces. They didn't care about the people in the line and walked straight to Du Shaofu.
There were a total of 13 young men, all of them between the ages of 20 to 23 or 24. They were clustered around a fat young man with a face full of fat.
"Brat, didn't you hear clearly? Get out of the way, or we won't be polite!"
Seeing Du Shaofu's dazed expression, the young man who had just scolded Du Shaofu thought that Du Shaofu had been scared silly and immediately shouted again.
Du Shaofu indifferently raised his head and looked at the young man who had just scolded him. He frowned slightly and his face started to show some displeasure. Then, he said, "First, watch your mouth. Second, if you want to do anything at the Sect Affairs Office, you can queue up at the back."
As Du Shaofu's voice fell, the surroundings suddenly became strangely quiet. Even the young man who looked to be in his late twenties behind the Sect Affairs Office window looked at Du Shaofu with some astonishment in his eyes.
"Where did this brat come from? Doesn't he know the Crouching Tiger Society?"
"I'm afraid this brat is in for some bad luck. He even dares to provoke the people of the Crouching Tiger Society."
Sighs could be heard amidst the silence. Gazes after gazes were directed at Du Shaofu, and all of them contained a strange fluctuation.
"Little Yu wrote the last two chapters this afternoon. However, the plot was completely different from what I wanted. Therefore, I clenched my teeth and rewrote it, causing it to only be updated now. However, Little Yu really didn't slack off today. I just wanted to write it better so that everyone would like it more. Little Yu sincerely apologizes for the delay in updating. "
