Whoosh!
The elder's words made the eyes of all the disciples on the Hundred Empire Ranking shine. The countless spectators in the Martial Arts Practice Field exclaimed in surprise. What did it mean to become an inner disciple?
Although the Celestial Sect was not as rich as the Myriad Pill Pavilion, it was still a seventh-grade sect. The treatment of its inner disciples was much better than the outer disciples of the Myriad Pill Pavilion. It should be known that the so-called inner disciples could only be promoted to inner disciples after breaking through the Innate Realm and reaching the Golden Core Realm.
Lu Xiang looked at the elder of the Celestial Sect with an embarrassed expression. He did not expect the other party to offer such exaggerated conditions. Then, he looked at Chen Hao with a little worry.
"Thank you for your kindness, Elder Zhu. I'm sorry, but I already have a sect I like." Chen Hao bowed and cupped his fists with an apologetic expression.
Hearing Chen Hao's words, Lu Xiang smiled with relief. Leng Yihan also curled his lips slightly. Obviously, except for Tantai Lian and the others, everyone thought that Chen Hao had his eyes on the Myriad Pill Pavilion.
According to the selection rules between sects and disciples, Chen Hao could not go in advance before the Star-Picking Sect made their choice. This was also to protect the interests of many sects. What's more, during the Star-Seizing Sect's selection, Chen Hao was going to be in the top fifty.
The elder of the Celestial Sect looked very embarrassed, but he did not say anything. He then chose Yu Qiyu of the White Tiger Inheritance. Yu Qiyu walked over. Then, the elder of the Celestial Sect chose four disciples from the top 50. He did not choose again.
Next was the seventh-grade Nirvana Valley. After the seventh-grade Sect, there were five sixth-grade Sects. They all offered very generous conditions to the contestants in the top 10. Tantai Lian was also approached by a few sects, but as expected, they were all rejected by her. This was within everyone's expectations. She shared the Phoenix Inheritance with Chen Hao. There was no doubt that she would be in the same sect as Chen Hao. In everyone's opinion, this also meant that three of the top 10 were destined to be obtained by the Myriad Pill Pavilion.
The Eight Immortals crossed the sea, each showing his own ability. Although the previous seventh-grade and sixth-grade sects were the same as the Myriad Pill Pavilion and expressed their preference for disciples, except for Chen Hao and Tantai Lian, as long as the top twenty disciples were the first to be chosen, very few would disagree. There were still many people who would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Moreover, the grade of the sect was indeed not the most important thing.
However, there were exceptions. Yang Fan, who was outside the top 50, was one of the most outstanding. Since he had comprehended the true essence of the wind attribute, he was very popular. He had been called upon many times, but without exception, he had rejected all of them, including those from Rank 6 sects.
When one reached the fifth rank, the situation was similar to that of the sixth rank. However, when it came to the fourth rank sects, it would be difficult to pick a disciple from the top fifty. The chances of being rejected would also increase.
As for the Rank 4 Sects, the first choice was basically all rejected. You can only choose ten people after the top fifty. But even so, there were still quite a number of people at the top of the rankings who refused.
…
Finally, it was the Rank 3 Sect. The Star-Picking Sect was the strongest among the Rank 3 Sects and was the first to appear. The outer sect's Grand Elder, Elder Wu, had already learned of Chen Hao and the others' choices from Dongfang Ting. Therefore, from the moment the old man began to make his choice, his old face was beaming with joy.
"Chen Hao, I choose you for the first one. We are only a Rank 3 Sect, but Old Man can guarantee that we will treat you like a treasure … "
To everyone's surprise, the Elder of the third-rank sect looked directly at Chen Hao and said, "You're not going to waste any more time on him." The Elder of the fourth-rank sect didn't waste any more time on Chen Hao. There was no substantive promise. He only said that he would treat him like a treasure … What did that mean? What was considered a treasure? It was too much of a bluff. In everyone's opinion, there was something wrong with the old man's head.
However …
What made everyone dumbfounded was that Chen Hao actually smiled and nodded. His figure flashed and he appeared behind Elder Wu.
Lu Xiang of the Myriad Pill Pavilion was originally looking at the overconfident Elder Wu with a mocking gaze, but now he was completely stunned …
Leng Yihan also frowned at Chen Hao. Clearly, he had not expected Chen Hao to make such a choice.
Elder Wu's face was flushed, as if he had never felt so good before. After looking at Tantai Lian and nodding slightly, he ignored everyone's shock and chose Yang Fan first, then Ni Jianping second, and Li Yifeng third. Tantai Lian could only be kept for the next round. There was no other way. Tantai Lian was ranked eighth and belonged to the top 50. Then, after a long time, another six were chosen, making a total of ten people.
…
Round after round continued, and the later it got, the faster it got. Before the sky turned dark, all the disciples on the Hundred Empire Ranking finally had their respective destinations.
…
"Chen Hao, don't forget my two conditions …"
When the 50 Elders were about to leave with their chosen disciples, Leng Yihan stared at Chen Hao and transmitted his voice.
"I won't. What are the conditions? "
"I haven't thought about it yet. Let's talk about it later. Let's settle down first. After a while, I'll go find Master. I'll look for you then … "
"Up to you," Chen Hao said.
…
Elder Wu, Dongfang Ting, and the low-level disciples of the Zhaixing Sect who were participating in the Shenwu Relic trial, along with Chen Hao and the other new disciples of the Hundred Empire Ranking, began to teleport through the enormous Transmission Formation of the Thousand Treasures Chamber of Commerce. In less than an hour, they entered the city closest to the Zhaixing Sect.
"This city is called Star City. It's only forty thousand miles away from the Star-Picking Sect. It's also one of the cities under the jurisdiction of the Star-Picking Sect." After coming out of the teleportation array of the Myriad Treasure Chamber of Commerce's branch, Elder Wu, who was flying in the air, said to the new disciples.
Gazing at the huge city below them and the endless mountain peaks in the distance, many of the disciples on the Hundred Empire Ranking had a trace of excitement in their eyes. After walking all the way from the dynasty to today, they were finally going to start their real life in the cultivation world. Even Chen Hao was a little excited.
"Senior Brother Chen Hao, we'll be brothers in the same sect from now on. Please take care of me in the future. I'm Bai Shuang, a low-level disciple of the outer sect … "
While everyone was flying quickly toward the Star-Picking Sect, some disciples greeted Chen Hao and the other new disciples. Of course, most of them greeted Chen Hao. He was the runner-up of the Hundred Empire Ranking and a super genius who had tied with the champion. Everyone could imagine what kind of status Chen Hao would have after entering the Star-Picking Sect. Moreover, with Chen Hao's talent, his future achievements would be incomparable to theirs.
Chen Hao was neither warm nor cold. He responded indifferently to the disciples who came over to curry favor. The only thing that made Chen Hao depressed and Tantai Lian blushed was that almost everyone who came over to greet them would cup their fists and nod to Tantai Lian. It was clear that they treated Chen Hao and Tantai Lian as Dao companions.
After two hours, they had traveled 40,000 miles in a flash.
The mountain peaks pierced through the sky, extremely tall. Compared to the Xiao Clan's back mountain, Tianlu Mountain, they were many times taller. They were as straight as swords and abnormally steep. Strange flowers and herbs covered the peaks, and many palaces stood among them. White clouds floated at the foot of the mountain. The sky was blue and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was extremely abundant.
"This is our Star-Picking Sect. Every mountain is more than 10,000 feet tall. There are 3,600 mountains in a radius of hundreds of miles. There are 36 main mountains, and they are nearly 30,000 feet tall. This is also the origin of our Star-Picking Sect's name. "
As everyone gradually approached, numerous waterfalls, icy jade-colored lakes, mountain streams, waterside pavilions, towering old trees, and strange flowers and plants appeared successively before their eyes, causing Chen Hao and the others to be extremely shocked in their hearts. Especially the vast, powerful, and profound aura that enveloped an area of almost 500km was far from something any Sacred Grounds in the Mortal World could compare to.
"The world of cultivation is indeed the world of cultivation. How can the secular world compare to such a unique cultivation environment? The Blessed Paradises of the secular world are practically everywhere in this world, with Blessed Paradises everywhere … "
"Yes, our Star-Picking Sect is only a third-grade sect. What are those sixth-grade and seventh-grade sects like?"
Some of the disciples on the Hundred Empire Ranking whispered in shock.
As they approached the first towering peak, several streaks of flowing light on auspicious clouds shuttled through like lightning. The leader was actually riding a strange bird that was several feet long. This strange bird's feathers were sparkling and translucent, like sharp knives lined up side by side. The top of its head was golden, and its claws were like hooks, emitting a metallic luster.
"Elder Wu, welcome back! I heard that this time the Hundred Empire Ranking got a super genius who tied with the champion? " A young disciple was sitting on the strange bird. He rushed to the front of the crowd and scanned the new disciples on the Hundred Empire Ranking with lightning speed. He quickly locked onto Chen Hao, who was beside Dongfang Ting, and asked, "It's you, right?"
"Yes, this is Chen Hao!" Elder Wu smiled and said, "Has everything been arranged?"
"Yes, it has been arranged. These are their tokens, "the young man said. At the same time, 58 tokens floated to Elder Wu.
…
When Chen Hao and the others stepped into the Zhaixing Sect to officially report, in the Xuanwu Imperial Palace, the Emperor of the Xuanwu Empire, Mu Qing, and the leaders of the kingdoms and forces that Chen Hao and the others belonged to, who had been waiting in the depths of the palace for more than ten days, finally looked excitedly at the huge teleportation formation.
Rays of mysterious light flashed out, and a figure appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Greetings, Immortal Hou!"
The Emperor of the Xuanwu Empire, Mu Qing, and the others immediately bowed to the old man who appeared.
"Congratulations, your Xuanwu Empire has done very well in the Hundred Empire Ranking this time!"
Hua!
Hearing the words of the messenger from the cultivation world's Wan Zhen Chamber of Commerce, everyone present was pleasantly surprised.
"Immortal Hou, what's the situation? Did you enter a high-level sect? "Xuan Cangfeng, the Emperor of the Xuanwu Empire, asked impatiently.
"Sigh …" The old man sighed and shook his head.
"This …" Everyone's excitement from hearing the old man say that the results were very good immediately changed.
"Your Xuanwu Empire has a super genius, Chen Hao … Unfortunately …"
"What happened to Chen Hao?" Zhao Xingchen, who had arrived early, asked in a panic.
"He was the runner-up of the Hundred Empire Ranking and tied with the champion!"
"What?" Hearing the old man's words, everyone's eyes widened in shock. They could not believe what they had heard.
