Chapter 64: Shén Xiāo Sect Fifth Watch Seeking Recommendation Votes

  The strong in the Refining Qi Realm are rarely seen even once in a while. But here, they can be seen with just a casual glance.

  "After all, being in different orbits is like being separated by mountains. Even if they are close at hand, if they are not people of the same world, they will never have anything to do with each other."

  Lin Xi felt a sense of emotion. It was also clear that all the strong practitioners who accompanied him were from powerful forces.

  In this regard, Lin Xi has no advantage at all.

  Unlike last time, today is the day when Shen Xiao Sect officially recruits disciples. Nobody dares to make any trouble here. If they do, it's simply seeking death.

  However, Lin Xi still couldn't see that this swamp was a barren land, where was the Shenyue Sect after all!

  "Excuse me, fellow Taoist, where is the Shen Xiao Sect exactly?"

  In the crowd, there were people asking questions. However, the person being asked simply ignored them. Even if someone knew the answer, they didn't have the mood to explain.

  Time passed slowly, and before I knew it, the sun was high in the sky.

  "Here I come!"

  Lin Xi's ears perked up as she heard someone calling out from amidst the crowd.

  "What an intense energy fluctuation!"

  Lin Xi immediately felt a vast and mighty energy surging forth from the depths of the earth.

  Rumble!

  Under everyone's gaze, a huge ripple spread out from the center of the swamp. The ground shook violently and emitted a buzzing sound.

  Boom!

  Under the gaze of everyone's shock, a violent gust of wind swept through the sky and earth, and a shocking purple light column suddenly burst out from the center of the ripples, piercing through the sky and earth.

  Endless clouds surged from all sides, and in the blink of an eye, transformed into a massive purple cloud vortex, swirling above. The energy throughout the entire sky and earth was completely disrupted.

  "What a tremendous fluctuation in energy!"

  Lin Xi felt a surging and overwhelming tide of yuanqi, wildly sweeping in. Before this boundless and majestic energy tide, any warrior was as insignificant as dust.

  "What is that!"

  Someone in the crowd had sharp eyes and gazed at the center of the ripples, letting out a cry of surprise.

  Lin Xi immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw a cluster of mountain peaks emerging from the center of the ripples, followed by a second cluster, a third cluster...

  Rumble!

  In the midst of a tremendous humming noise, nearly ten thousand mountain peaks emerged rapidly from the center of the ripples, under the gaze of countless people. It was as if they had drilled out from another space and appeared in this world.

  Space rapidly expanded, the area where everyone was located, originally only over 100 million square kilometers, but at this moment, more than 10 million mu of space suddenly appeared out of thin air. It's as if a piece of paper was folded up, but now suddenly unfolded, revealing its original appearance.

  Boom!

  When the vibration subsided, in the originally desolate swampy land, a dense mountain range appeared. Thousands of small peaks surrounded a majestic and magnificent giant mountain body standing on the ground.

  This mountain range covers an area of over 100,000 mu, and as far as the eye can see, there is no end in sight.

  In the distance, about a thousand or more zhang away, a massive screen barrier composed of clouds and mist rose up, resembling an overturned pot, as if it had been pressed down from the sky, enclosing the entire mountain range within.

  Buzz!

  When the last ripple of white foam had passed, the marshland in front of everyone's eyes disappeared instantly. Replacing it were thickets and clumps of grass.

  "This, this... is too unbelievable!"

  "This is simply a miracle!"

  …………

  One by one, the martial arts masters let out astonished exclamations. The location hadn't changed, but in just a blink of an eye, everyone found themselves in a completely different environment, with a majestic and grand mountain range appearing before their eyes. In front of this magnificent and awe-inspiring mountain range, every person felt as insignificant as ants.

  This method has already exceeded the understanding of a martial artist at the 10th level of strength.

  "This is the true way of the immortals!"

  Lin Xi praised, completely conquered by the immortal scenery in front of him.

  This is the Xian Dao sect of imagination, this is the realm that every warrior dreams of pursuing!

  No wonder I couldn't find Mount Tianyao, the methods of the immortals are simply beyond the imagination of ordinary people!

  "All those with the Immortal Dao recruitment token, warriors preparing to take the Immortal Dao assessment, come to Shenyue Mountain immediately. Everyone else, withdraw and wait outside!"

  A majestic and loud voice came from within the Shenyue Mountain, as if it were a divine spirit in heaven, unfathomable.

  With one sentence, the recruitment curtain of the Xian Dao Great World was immediately lifted.

  Hush!

  The originally quiet crowd suddenly burst out with a loud noise. Figures emerged one after another, immediately following the wide road that separated from the cloud and mist screen, heading towards Mount Shenyao.

  "Can I join the Xian Dao sect and obtain the Elixir of Immortality for my aunt? It all depends on this assessment."

  Lin Xi's heart was slightly tense, but he wasn't the kind of person who showed his emotions on his face. With a thought, he immediately blended into the crowd and headed towards Shen Xiao Mountain.

  In the depths of this immortal sect, no one dared to jump around randomly. One by one, they walked steadily along the winding mountain path, heading towards Shen Xiao Mountain.

  Bang!

  Just as they were halfway up the mountain, a loud explosion suddenly came from behind. Lin Xi turned his head to look, but only vaguely saw a burst of flying ash at the cloud and mist barrier, nothing else.

  "Hum! Thinking of taking advantage of the situation! Daring to come in without a Xian Dao Token, you're simply asking for death!"

  A man in a green robe standing beside him let out a cold snort and cursed loudly.

  Lin Xiwei sank into thought, only then did he realize that the Xian Dao token in his hand was not just a proof of identity, but also the key to pass through the layer of cloud and mist barrier restrictions.

  Climbing up the nine-story building, before long, we arrived at the top of the mountain.

  Looking up, clouds and mist gather, mountains rise and fall, like waves.

  On the mountain top, a white-robed disciple of the Shen Xiao Sect had been waiting for a long time, with an arrogant expression and cold eyes.

  "Each of you has received a grey robe, and in exchange for the jade token, you have been given a wooden token. Go to your respective rooms and wait. When the assessment time arrives, you will be notified."

  These Shenyue Sect disciples each had incredibly powerful auras, like vast oceans. Their strength was at least ten times greater than that of the disciples who had come to answer the Immortal Path's recruitment call previously.

  Lin Xi handed over the Xian Dao token, took the wooden plaque and clothes for the room. After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and asked casually:

  "Senior brother, may I ask what is the name of that magnificent main peak in the Central region?"

  "Hmmph!"

  The disciple of Shen Xiao Sect who was asked looked at him with disdain and said bluntly:

  "That's where the inner sect disciples stay. You didn't even pass the assessment. Don't even think about that place. - Just leave quickly."

  Lin Xi didn't think much of it and followed the crowd deeper inside.

  "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

  Suddenly, the crowd was in an uproar. Several apathetic disciples of Shenyao Sect surrounded a person and escorted him towards Lin Xi's direction.

  Seeing this group of people, not only the disciples of various sects who were present to take the assessment around them, but also the outer sect disciples who were preparing for the assessment at the top of the mountain, all showed a fearful expression and made way.

  Lin Xi was also pushed aside by the crowd. He didn't mind at first, but when that group of people brushed past him in an instant, Lin Xi's face suddenly changed:

  "Long Danny!"

  Among the guards of the Shényōng Sect, a stunningly beautiful woman with a captivating appearance and a national color was walking towards the interior of the Shényōng Sect. This woman was none other than the Ryōyō Saintess Long Dani, who had once met Lin Xi.

  Lin Xi is not tall, but in a crowd, he is absolutely one of the most conspicuous ones.

  Long Dani seemed to have also heard the voice, furrowed her brow, stopped in her tracks, and subconsciously glanced in Lin Xi's direction. Upon seeing him, her expression changed drastically.

  "Lin Xi!"

  Long Dani was also shocked beyond measure. She never thought that she would run into Lin Xi here.

  Lin Xi didn't hide it this time, his eyes burning with fierce anger. His memories of Long Dani were extremely deep. He just hadn't expected that when he killed Chi Lian Zong, Long Dani had already returned to the Long Shi family.

  However, birds of a feather flock together. If it weren't for Long Dani and her group being so eye-catching, Lin Xi might not have noticed her among so many people.

  Long Dani was stared at by Lin Xi's eyes and immediately felt a wave of panic in her heart, subconsciously turning her head away.

  "What's wrong, miss?"

  A burly man saw Long Dani stop in her tracks, furrowed his brow, and followed her gaze to look over.

  "Nothing, sister is still waiting for us. Let's hurry up!"

  Long Dani lowered her head and hastily walked forward.

  Several guards furrowed their brows and glared fiercely at Lin Xi before walking inside.

  "What? You actually know Miss Longshi?"

  Next to him, a disciple of Shen Ye Sect who was in charge of recruitment looked at Lin He with great surprise. The scene just now only lasted for an instant, but for a strong cultivator like him, he could see it clearly.

  "I don't know him. I've just met him a few times before."

  Lin Xi said lightly:

  "What's going on, brother? This Miss Long from the Dragon Family has such a huge influence. She doesn't even need to take the assessment and can just go in directly?"

  "Hey, how could you not know? She's the eldest daughter of the Long family, our sect's Holy Maiden. Her cultivation is above seven layers of Qi Refining. Even inner disciples have to bow and pay respects when they see her. You think she's got a big background or what?"

  The young man who spoke sneered. As for the internal affairs of these immortal sects, he naturally knew them like the back of his hand.

  "I see, thank you for pointing it out, senior brother."

  Lin Xi nodded slightly, his face expressionless. But in his heart, he felt a pang of unease.

  The origin of the Long family was far greater than he had anticipated.

  "This time's sect assessment is probably going to be troublesome."

  Lin Xi looked up at the sky, took a slight breath in, and immediately followed the crowd forward.

  Soon, a disciple of Shen Ying Sect came up and led Lin He to a quiet small yard after seeing his wooden sign.

  "Assessment is done in batches. When it's time, you will be notified."

  He dropped this sentence and left directly.

  Lin Xi didn't mind and went straight downstairs.

  …………

  At night, a column of air with a radius of over ten zhang shot down from the Ninth Heaven, thundering as it poured into the Grand Temple on top of a mountain peak.

  If you look closely, you will find that this column of air that pierces the sky is not purely gaseous. It's a torrent composed of countless crystalline yuanqi crystals. Each grain of these yuanqi crystals is equivalent to an eighth-grade beast dan.

  A mighty torrent, like a deluge from heaven and earth, poured into this great hall.

  At this moment, a white-clothed man with a majestic aura rushed into the grand hall. Inside the grand hall, red light swirled around, and a gigantic fire-red Vermilion Bird was spreading its wings, absorbing the surging flow of yuan energy that filled the sky.

  "Sister Shifu, I have news to report."

  The man did not dare to be slow and hastily bowed his hands.

  "Oh?"

  A lonely and cold voice floated down from above the grand hall, as if it came from another space.

  In an instant, the red light converged. The scarlet phoenix with wings spread wide in the great hall suddenly folded its wings and transformed into a stunningly beautiful woman.
