Preparing to Open the Mountain, Finalizing the Rules

"I'll sleep after I'm full, and I'll eat again when I wake up."

"Life is so boring!"

Outside the imposing gates of the Azure Cloud Sect, the Black Emperor stretched and said lazily.

"Second brother, you're slacking off again!"

"Big... Big Brother! What brings you here!"

"Hah! I was just bored, so I came over for a stroll."

"Those elders are too much of a handful. They cultivate three times a day, each time for four hours. I can't keep up with them."

Little White yawned and walked towards the Black Emperor as he spoke.

"You mean, working this hard every day, are you trying to kill yourself?"

"It's still good to relax a bit."

As the Black Emperor spoke, he continued to cultivate his own immortal techniques in his mind.

This immortal technique is called the Sleeping Dream Ascension Great Art, a cultivation method at the Immortal King level. It is not only extremely powerful but also very unique.

As the name suggests, "Ascending to Immortality in Sleep" means that one can cultivate while asleep.

Haha, you think I sleep all day?

Wrong! Utterly wrong!

You openly engage in corruption, while I, the Emperor, am secretly involved.

I'll secretly crush you all! Hahaha!

"Sigh, I still have to keep going. Cultivation is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind."

"I'd better go back and continue my secluded cultivation later."

After saying that, Little White also stretched.

"I wonder where my lord has gone traveling and when he will return. I wish I could go traveling with him."

Upon hearing this, the Black Emperor shook his head. "I don't know."

"It seems that the Lord went out to find something very important. I wonder if he has found it yet."

Just then, the space above the void rippled, and three figures descended.

"Little White, Black Emperor, what are you two chatting about?"

Feng Qingyang flew down and spoke with a smile.

The two people behind him were none other than the Immortal Emperor Array Master Fu Minglan and the Body Cultivator Nie Pankong.

"Metropolitan!"

Little White ~ Black Emperor: "Greetings, Sect Master!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, the two beasts were initially delighted, and then spoke respectfully in unison.

What a coincidence! The sect leader is truly elusive; just when you mention the sect leader, he appears.

"Yes, let's join the sect."

After Feng Qingyang finished speaking, he took the lead and entered the sect.

He then briefly toured the sect, and everything seemed normal.

During his travels, everything in the sect proceeded smoothly.

Feng Qingyang was very satisfied with this, as it meant he could easily become a hands-off manager.

No! It means going out at any time to personally handle some very important matters.

Just like this search for the remaining Second Tribulation Sword Body.

After the inspection, Feng Qingyang used his divine sense to notify all the five-star and above elders to go to the Azure Cloud Immortal Hall for a meeting.

A short while later, inside the magnificent Azure Cloud Azure Cloud Immortal Hall.

At this moment, all the five-star and above elders of the entire sect had arrived.

"We pay our respects to the sect leader."

All the elders spoke respectfully in unison.

"Alright, everyone, please take your seats."

From his seat, Feng Qingyang glanced at all the elders below and then raised his hand in a gesture.

All the elders present now represent the high-end combat force of the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect.

Everyone is here now, not a single person is missing.

They all looked respectfully at Feng Qingyang, who sat in the main seat, and many elders even had endless fanaticism in their eyes.

The sect leader has just returned from his travels and is already holding a major meeting; there must be some important arrangements to make!

"Our sect is holding this general meeting today to announce two things."

"First, the sect will establish Formation Hall, recruiting powerful array masters from the Upper Heavens Immortal Realm, with Immortal Emperor Minglan serving as the hall master."

"The sect has established Body Cultivation Hall to recruit powerful Body Cultivator, with Barbarian Emperor Pan Kong serving as the hall master."

"At the same time, the two hall masters Seven-Star Elder are awarded honorary medals."

The majestic sound of the Feng Qingyang echoed throughout the main hall.

Upon hearing this, Fu Minglan and Nie Pankong, who were sitting at the front, immediately stood up and bowed in gratitude. "Thank you, Sect Master."

After their initial shock, all the elders at the back of the main hall quickly came to their senses.

"We will obey the Lord's orders."

"We pay our respects to the two hall masters."

These two unfamiliar seniors turned out to be a Celestial Emperor and a Barbarian Emperor, respectively!

Wow! Just how many senior members of the sect are still out there?!

Most of the elders have become numb to this and have long been used to it.

You can never be sure how powerful a sect is, because every now and then, an even more powerful senior from the sect will return from his travels.

"The second thing our sect wants to announce is that, one month from now, our Azure Cloud Immortal Sect will once again open its gates and Opening the Mountain to Accept Disciples!"

Time really flies; it feels like it's gone in the blink of an eye.

The last time the Azure Cloud Sect Opening the Mountain to Accept Disciples was...

More than ten years have passed since then, back when we were still in the Barren Martial Realm.

There were some minor flaws in the arrangements during the last mountain opening, so we must do a better job this time and make proper arrangements.

After a moment of reflection, Feng Qingyang made up his mind.

"We will obey the sect leader's orders!"

The sect Opening the Mountain to Accept Disciples has finally decided to reopen the sect! This is indeed a momentous event!

You should know that the Azure Cloud Sect currently only has a little over 100,000 disciples, which is pitifully small.

Outside of the Immortal Emperor level, let alone the Immortal King level sects, there are more than ten million disciples.

Immediately afterwards, Feng Qingyang discussed the specific arrangements for this mountain opening with the elders.

They quickly made up their minds.

The first and second tasks of this mountain-opening ceremony were the same as the first one.

One can become Servant Disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect by passing through the Illusionary Sky Ladder.

Then we moved on to the second item, the Nine Cauldrons Great Dao Bell test of talent.

It is also worth mentioning that, after entering the Upper Heavens, the Nine Cauldrons Great Dao Bell has had many restrictions lifted due to its world level.

Three chimes are enough to make someone a genius in the Immortal Realm, five chimes an Immortal Realm, six chimes an unparalleled prodigy, and seven chimes a peerless genius.

Those who ring eight times will surely become Immortal Venerables, and those who ring nine times are Immortal Emperor Potential. As long as they do not die young, they will surely become Immortal Emperors.

As for those who Ten Bell Rings, their future is immeasurable!

As before, those who can knock three times can directly enter the outer sect if their cultivation level meets the requirements, while those who can knock six times can directly enter the inner sect if their cultivation level meets the requirements.

As for the Core Disciple, Sequence Disciple, or even higher-level sect disciples and divine disciples, those will need to be determined separately.

In addition, two new rules have been added to select more outstanding disciples.

After passing the Great Dao Bell test, those who pass the test with four rings can choose to continue challenging the Mirror Sky Trial Hall and the Disciple Trial Tower.

One challenge is to defeat oneself, and the other is to overcome one's own obsessions and desires, which also reveals the strength of the challenger.

"Alright, the rules for this mountain opening are set."

"The next two trials will be presided over by the Grand Elder Mu Shuixian and the Second Elder Luo Chen."

"The first two trials were presided over by Elder Ye Bai from the outer sect, along with the sect's immortal pet Little White, the Sect Protecting Divine Beast Black Emperor, and the Howling Moon Silver Wolf Tian Jiu."

"You all go and prepare."
