Early in the morning, the morning sun had just risen, and a faint golden light sprinkled on the cliff, shining brightly. Many young disciples had already gathered here, and Jiang Xiaofan and Ye Yuanxue were naturally among them. They had come for the teachings of the elder, and would be cultivating here for three months.
This place was called the Cliff of Dao. In front of them was a precipice that was as smooth as jade. There was a huge word carved on it, and there was a faint aura of the Great Dao circulating around it. It was said that it was personally written by a saint in the ancient times.
"Swoosh …"
With a flash of light, a divine rainbow tore through the sky from the distant sky and landed on the cliff. It was an old man with white hair and beard who sat down cross-legged with his back facing the word "Dao". He glanced down indifferently, nodded slightly, and then began to impart the teachings.
As a super power, the Emperor Heaven School's selection of disciples was extremely strict. Out of tens of thousands of people, only close to a hundred people passed. At this moment, they were sitting cross-legged at the bottom of the cliff. Originally, their hearts were surging with excitement, but it was unexpectedly very calm here.
The old man on the Cliff of Dao was as calm as an ancient well. His voice was calm, without the slightest fluctuation of emotion, but he spoke very carefully. To Jiang Xiaofan and the others, the old man's words were simply like a treasure.
"Immortal cultivation is to let one's body merge with the Dao, connect with heaven and earth, and control objects with one's mind. When one reaches the highest realm, one can even fly in the sky, burrow into the ground, move mountains, and fill seas."
"The cultivation of cultivators can be roughly divided into five major realms, which are Minute, Enlightenment, Illusion God, Human Emperor, and Profound Immortal. Every major secret realm has nine small steps, which are also known as the Nine Heavens. As for the other pills and treasures, you can enter the Scripture Depository to read them in the future …"
The old man didn't say much, but it enlightened these people. At least to Jiang Xiaofan, every word the old man said was priceless advice, allowing him to know what divine sense was and what divine power was.
Divine sense, according to the common saying, referred to a person's will. However, cultivators had expanded this kind of will infinitely, and could do many miraculous things. Therefore, in the world of cultivators, one's will was called divine sense. Divine sense resided in the head, and that was called the sea of consciousness.
As for divine power, it referred to a kind of special power that cultivators obtained through cultivation. It spread throughout every corner of the human body, and was called divine power. Divine power would generally appear in different colors according to the cultivation method.
Jiang Xiaofan followed the old man's teachings and used his divine sense to look inside his body. He was a little surprised at that time, and he saw strands of divine power that appeared golden. He was actually already a cultivator at the first layer of the Minute, and was only a step away from the second layer of the Minute..
"Is it because the Buddhist scriptures are too mysterious, or is it because of the Immortal Spiritual Root?" Jiang Xiaofan pondered silently.

"The green jade slip contains the Pure Jade Merit Law, the foundation of our sect. The blue jade slip contains the Fasting Pill, which will allow you to not feel hunger or thirst. You will be here for three months, and if you have any questions during this time, feel free to ask …"
The so-called meditation was to close one's eyes and meditate, and use the power of divine sense to channel the Pure Jade Merit Law. This was not the first time Jiang Xiaofan did such a thing. Although he felt that it was very boring, he still forced himself to calm down and cultivate. He immersed his mind into his sea of consciousness to channel the Pure Jade Merit Law.
The Pure Jade Merit Law was divided into nine levels, and each level corresponded to a small step in the Minute Realm. Moreover, each level was more difficult than the previous one. However, Jiang Xiaofan cultivated it smoothly as if it was tailor-made for him. During this process, he also secretly cultivated the Buddhist Scriptures.
This was the second time Jiang Xiaofan cultivated this supreme Profound Merit Law. This time, he was shocked. The blood in his body was clanking, and his internal organs were shining with a golden light. It was as if they were made of gold, and they were filled with a powerful sense of power.
He directly stopped and carefully looked around. However, he was slightly relieved that the people around him did not seem to notice anything. Thus, he relaxed again and wholeheartedly immersed himself in cultivation.
After an unknown amount of time, he woke up from his meditation. He slightly looked inside himself and suddenly became very excited. He wanted to shout out loud. The Buddhist Scriptures were too profound. Although there were many saint techniques recorded, there was no systematic division of levels.
He did not know what level he had cultivated the Buddhist Scriptures to, but he found that he had reached the fifth level of the Pure Jade Merit Law. In other words, he was now at the fifth layer of the Minute Realm.
Most importantly, he found that his body was even lighter. His body was filled with endless strength. He felt that he could now easily lift a thousand jin boulder.
He excitedly turned his head and wanted to share his achievements with Ye Yuanxue. However, when he saw the scene in front of him, he was immediately speechless. The little girl's eyes were slightly closed. Her right hand was supporting her cheek. Her small head was drooping. She was actually sleeping.
Although Ye Yuanxue's appearance made Jiang Xiaofan's heart move, he still slightly shook her shoulder and whispered: "Little Xue, wake up, wake up …"
"Damn it, you're disturbing my sleep!"
Ye Yuanxue was awakened. Her jade-like hand gently rubbed her sleepy eyes. She pouted her small mouth and looked at Jiang Xiaofan with dissatisfaction: "Little Fan, what are you doing?"
"I …"
Just as Jiang Xiaofan wanted to speak, he was interrupted. The old man on the cliff opened his eyes and looked down. His gaze paused several times in the air before he nodded.
"Three months have passed. Now, you can go to the seven main peaks and choose a base. You can go alone or in groups. A month later, the Imperial Sky Sect's selection will be held. The top seven will be promoted to inner disciples and take charge of the seven main peaks," the old man said indifferently.
He did not give them any time to think. He directly rode a streak of divine light into the distance and disappeared into the horizon in an instant.
"The Imperial Sky Sect is a supreme force indeed. The selection of disciples is actually so strict. There are so many checkpoints!"
"Of course. It's said that there's a selection after becoming an inner disciple. It seems to be a competition for the core disciples. Right now, there are only seven core disciples in the entire Imperial Sky Sect. There's just one in each main peak!"
"I've heard about it too. Not only are core disciples extremely powerful, but they also have to be extremely loyal to the sect. Only by becoming a core disciple would one be qualified to become an elder, a grand elder, or even a saint. In the end, one would become the Sect Master and take charge of the entire Imperial Sky Sect."
After Elder Chuanfa left, the atmosphere was no longer as tense as before. The atmosphere was much more peaceful. Hearing their words, Jiang Xiaofan was secretly speechless. Choosing seven inner disciples out of a hundred people meant that there were only seven core disciples in the entire sect. This was even more f * cking strict than the legendary college entrance exam.
"Let's go, Xiaofan. Let's go and choose a better place."
Just as he was in a daze, a fragrance drifted over from beside him. Ye Yuanxue was pulling him toward a few main peaks not far away. Immediately, Jiang Xiaofan's imagination ran wild. When the others saw Ye Yuanxue's fairy-like beauty, they were all stunned. They were both envious and jealous of Jiang Xiaofan.
Not long after, the two of them came to a stop. There were a few cherry trees in front of them. The petals were pink, and there was a faint fragrance in the air. Green grass was everywhere, and there were many flowers in between, blooming in a myriad of colors.
Ye Yuanxue naturally liked this place very much, and Jiang Xiaofan even volunteered to build a small thatched cottage. Being able to live under the same roof with a peerless beauty was something that he had never dreamed of even in his wildest dreams. Of course, he had to work hard, and maybe some wonderful things would happen.
"What a beautiful environment!"
At this moment, a few well-dressed young men and women walked over from behind. Among them, an enchanting and beautiful woman praised. Her name was Liu Ruyan, and she was the daughter of the Biyue Palace's palace master. The Biyue Palace was only a small sect and was far from being comparable to the Imperial Sky Sect. She had been sent to the Imperial Sky Sect to cultivate three months ago.
When the young man next to her saw her like this, he smiled faintly and said, "Junior Sister, if you wish to cultivate here, I'll get those two to send you over."
"But I see that they like this place very much. They probably won't agree to it, right?"
"That's very simple. I'll communicate with them. I believe those two will agree." The young man's tone was very confident.
"That's right, Junior Sister. Don't worry. With Young Master Zhu taking action, you'll definitely be satisfied. Below the core disciples of the Imperial Sky Sect, there aren't many who dare to not give Young Master Zhu face."
Beside this man and woman, there were two other men who were around 20 years old. They were the previous outer sect disciples of the Imperial Sky Sect and hadn't been promoted to the ranks of the inner sect disciples. Moreover, they had also rushed over from some small sects and entered the Imperial Sky Sect to cultivate.
The Imperial Sky Sect wasn't worried that they would secretly learn their Dao techniques because they wouldn't impart the strongest profound techniques to these people. It wouldn't harm the sect's interests at all. Instead, they would be able to obtain sufficient benefits from them.
The man who spoke very confidently walked over. When he saw Ye Yuanxue, he clearly revealed a stunned expression. His gaze lingered on Ye Yuanxue for a very long time until she revealed a displeased expression. Only then did he turn his head away.
A strange glint flashed through his eyes. As he glanced at Ye Yuanxue, he clasped his fists towards Jiang Xiaofan and said, "I am Zhu Youwei, the cousin of the Imperial Sky Sect's core disciple, Zhu Xidao. I wonder if you can bear the pain and give this place to my Junior Sister Ruyan?"
He laid out his background, not only for Jiang Xiaofan to hear, but also for Ye Yuanxue to hear. As long as the other party was not an idiot, she would definitely be able to sense the hidden meaning in his words. The best result would be to obtain both the treasured land and a peerless fairy maiden by his side.
"I'm sorry. We like this place very much too. Please go somewhere else." Jiang Xiaofan rejected without even thinking about it.
When Zhu Youwei heard that, his expression immediately changed. In the Imperial Sky Sect, who didn't know of Zhu Xidao's name? Apart from a few core disciples and elders, no one dared to disrespect him. As his cousin, there were naturally very few people who dared to offend him in the Imperial Sky Sect. Moreover, he was also an inner disciple of the Imperial Sky Sect.
"But I want this place very much!"
Zhu Youwei's eyes shone with a terrifying light. He took a step forward and stared at Jiang Xiaofan intently.
"I'm really sorry, but we've already chosen this place. Forgive us for not giving it to you!" Jiang Xiaofan shook his head.
Seeing that Jiang Xiaofan wasn't giving him any face, Zhu Youwei's face sank. A cold glint flashed through his eyes as he said coldly, "I'm a very stubborn person. In the Imperial Sky Sect, I must obtain what I want."
Jiang Xiaofan never thought that there would be such a rude and overbearing person in a cultivation sect. Seeing how domineering Zhu Youwei was, he no longer treated him nicely. He shrugged and said unconcernedly, "Is that so? Then I'd like to see how you're going to obtain it."
At this moment, many people in the surroundings sensed that something was off. Many of them looked over. When they found out that someone dared to go against Zhu Youwei's will in the Imperial Sky Sect, they were stunned at first before revealing mocking expressions.
