Sect Master Tongtian: Amazing, Exactly as You Said

Sect Master Tongtian, hearing this, scratched his head with a simple smile, a hint of embarrassment on his face. He said, a little sheepishly, "You forgot, I just recently joined Jie Sect myself.

"Li Er, you're familiar with things here in Jie Sect, what do you think Jie Sect will look for when choosing disciples?"

Li Er, upon hearing this, was somewhat speechless, but at the same time, he envied this Pan Laosan.

He envied him for receiving Sect Master Tongtian's guidance in swordsmanship, and was speechless because he didn't know to directly ask Sect Master Tongtian for help.

But this simple and honest demeanor clearly showed he was not one for flexibility.

When encountering a sage like Sect Master Tongtian, the correct approach should be to directly latch onto him, but he didn't seem to understand.

Li Er initially thought he was being modest, but it turned out he really had just become a disciple.

"Jie Sect will probably start by assessing temperament, for example..."

Li Er recounted the methods of selecting disciples from novels and short dramas of his past life. He also described how various disciples advanced, as well as the various institutional systems within the sect.

After all, this simple and honest Pan Laosan didn't seem to understand the ways of the world. If he didn't explain it clearly, he would definitely suffer.

The demons here were unruly, and no one would be able to help them when something really happened.

Li Er was probably too nervous after transmigrating, and now that he had finally relaxed, he said everything he knew, including some of his own speculations.

He never even considered that Sect Master Tongtian's Jie Sect was just starting out, and had no rules at all.

Sect Master Tongtian's eyes lit up as he listened. With this set of methods for selecting disciples and managing the sect, he felt that he could definitely make Jie Sect bigger and stronger.

When the time came, he would show his second brother, Yuanshi Tianzun, whether his approach of teaching all without discrimination could cultivate good disciples.

"Third Brother Pan, remember not to be a show-off. We need to keep a low profile in our actions," Li Er said worriedly, looking at Pan Laosan's gleaming eyes.

He guessed that this guy's eyes had started to shine after hearing about the Heaven's Pride Duel. It was obvious that he was a battle fanatic.

After all, the primordial world in the novels was fighting from beginning to end, never stopping from the creation of the world to the end of the Dharma Age, so he could understand why Pan Laosan's eyes were shining.

His battle-loving bloodline had been activated. After all, legend had it that Pangu, who created the world, fought against three thousand demon gods. This primordial world inherited Pangu's will and was definitely a place of battle.

Sect Master Tongtian, hearing this, told him not to be a show-off, and inwardly despised him: You are already being a show-off, going everywhere during the lecture and devouring spiritual energy lotuses.

If I hadn't intervened, you would have run away from the entire venue.

"Yes, yes. Oh, right, I have some cultivation methods here for you to study."

Sect Master Tongtian immediately took out the cultivation methods he had obtained from his eldest and second brothers, as well as his own cultivation methods, and gave them all to Second Brother Li, emphasizing the word "more."

Li Er was stunned for a moment, looking at this pile of jade slips.

He estimated that these were all third-rate cultivation methods, otherwise, how could there be so many?

But Pan Laosan was truly kind to him, taking them all out and giving them to him. Li Er would remember this friendship.

"Well, then, thank you very much, Third Brother Pan."

"Study hard, I'll go scout things out and tell you when I get back."

"Third Brother Pan, remember to be careful."

Golden Turtle Island—in front of Biyou Palace.

Many demons were shocked to witness what was happening before their eyes.

At this moment, Biyou Palace slowly rose, and a fairyland descended. A long, radiant staircase extended from the palace gate, as if leading all living beings into a path to an unknown world.

At the end of the staircase, a simple and unadorned stone tablet stood majestically, the words "Trial of Heart" shining brightly, revealing endless mysteries.

The plaza expanded, as if heaven and earth were being re-outlined. In the distance, a magnificent arena rose from the ground, filled with the intent to battle.

Not far away, another giant stele stood tall, the three characters "Heaven's Pride Ranking" gleaming with golden light. It was clear at a glance that it was used to record the achievements of the heaven's prides.

On Golden Turtle Island, various buildings sprung up like mushrooms after rain, each with its own unique characteristics.

The Treasure Pavilion was majestic and magnificent, resplendent and glittering, as if it contained endless treasures of the world.

The Alchemy Hall was filled with fragrant aromas, the furnace fires blazed, and the light of elixirs flickered within.

The Mystic Arts Pavilion was simple and elegant, with tens of thousands of books, and a dazzling array of martial arts manuals and secret techniques.

The Spirit Beast Hall seemed to have countless spirit beasts gathered, their roars shaking the heavens.

Each palace, each possessing its own unique charm, attracted the attention of the demons, making Golden Turtle Island even more mysterious and unpredictable, and planting in their hearts the impression that "this is what a sage's great sect should be like."

"Is this the aura of a great sect? I wonder how to join."

"Could it be that the previous lecture was just an appetizer? This is the true face of Jie Sect. I feel a sense of order."

"As expected of a sage who teaches all without discrimination and guides all living beings. The words 'Trial of Heart' give me a feeling that I am about to break through."

"Heaven's Pride Ranking! Being on this ranking represents the sage's approval, right? Is that arena the way to prove oneself?"

Hundreds of thousands of demons were in a frenzy. The things that Jie Sect revealed made them eager to join.

Searching for the book title doesn't work, you can try searching for the author, maybe it's just a name change!

For example, the Alchemy Hall.

Waves of elixir fragrance filled the entire plaza. Just smelling the fragrance gave one the feeling of breaking through. What would happen if one ate it!

After a while, hundreds of thousands of demons quieted down, because they saw the conditions for entry—a stone tablet appeared on the steps in front of Biyou Palace.

The entry requirements were clearly written above: Walk the Trial of Heart.

The level of disciple one becomes is determined by the height reached on the Trial of Heart. One's disposition is an important factor in determining how far one can go on the path of cultivation.

Jie Sect's method of selecting disciples is simple and crude, but very effective, because the simpler it is, the fewer flaws it has, and the harder it is to achieve.

This is the ultimate simplicity of the Great Dao.

When the changes to Golden Turtle Island ceased, a massive wave of merit descended from the heavens, splitting into two.

One went straight towards the Tongtian Sect Master in Biyou Palace, while the other wandered around Golden Turtle Island, unable to find its target. In the end, it all went to empower the Trial of Heart and the Heaven's Pride Ranking, instantly transforming them into two Acquired Merit Treasures, becoming important treasures for suppressing the Jie Sect's fortune.

Sect Master Tongtian looked at the merit in his hand with some shock, completely unable to imagine that he could obtain merit in this way, and that this merit was for teaching.

He noticed that the other wave of merit did not descend upon Li Er, which was somewhat unexpected. He didn't expect that even the power of the Great Dao's merit couldn't find his trace.

"He's more than just a glimmer of hope, could he be Dunyi? But Dunyi is undefined. He's just a Golden Core Stage cultivator now, so he should be where my Jie Sect's hope lies.

This merit..."

Sect Master Tongtian raised his hand and sent the merit into the Trial of Heart and the Heaven's Pride Ranking.

Although he really wanted this merit to create a Merit Treasure, to show off to his second brother.

But in order to hide Li Er's existence, this merit had to be used in this way, to let it merge with Li Er's merit, otherwise, if someone came to Jie Sect and saw the Trial of Heart in the future, they would discover that this merit was only half, and thus deduce the existence of another person.

"But obtaining two Merit Treasures to suppress our fortune is also a good thing. It's time to bring Li Er into Jie Sect."

In a corner of Golden Turtle Island, Li Er also sensed the changes in Golden Turtle Island.

He stopped studying the knowledge in the jade slip and wanted to go out and see what was happening.

After all, it was difficult for him not to be curious about such earth-shattering changes.

Just as he walked to the entrance of his cave, he sensed a dangerous aura and hurriedly ran back inside to hide, immediately dispelling his curiosity.

"I have to get rid of my curiosity in the future, or it'll be too dangerous.

I forgot that this is the Primordial World, where people die as easily as breathing."

Li Er immediately set a rule for himself: meddle less, be less curious, and live for a hundred years first.

"Alas! Without mastering the knowledge of this world and some of its common sense, I can't understand the knowledge in these jade slips at all.

It's no different from a heavenly book, this is the sorrow of being illiterate." Li Er looked at the pile of jade slips in front of him, on the verge of tears.

It was clearly a cultivation method, but he couldn't understand it.

The novels said that the information in those jade slips would be imprinted on the soul, and one could immediately understand it, but for him, he had to read it word by word.

The only good thing was that he had reached the Golden Core Stage and had a primordial spirit, so he could read faster and remember the words, but the problem was that he really didn't know what these words were saying.

"Li Er, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah! You scared me, Third Brother Pan, knock on the door next time you come in." Li Er looked at Sect Master Tongtian, who had suddenly appeared, and said with dissatisfaction.

He was indeed a little unaccustomed to this kind of unpredictable behavior in the cultivation world, it was too terrifying.

Sect Master Tongtian was stunned for a moment. Knock on the door? This cave doesn't have a door.

Forget it, I'll install a door for him later.

"Haha, I'll pay attention next time. You look so gloomy, what's wrong?"

"I can't understand the knowledge in these jade slips you gave me, simply put, I'm illiterate." Li Er admitted generously, not afraid of losing face, after all, not understanding is not understanding.

Sect Master Tongtian was speechless.

He had never seen someone who was illiterate and could say it so confidently.

But if he didn't know how to read, how would he know the rules of the sect?

"Third Brother Pan, do you have any jade slips that can make people understand words immediately, like a divine sense mystic art?" Li Er said a little embarrassedly.

After all, he knew from Sect Master Tongtian's expression that the other party didn't quite believe him.

There was no way, he spoke so well about the sect rules earlier, he didn't look like an illiterate at all.

"Yes, wait a moment, I'll look for it." Sect Master Tongtian deliberately turned around and opened the storage bag on his body, took out a jade slip from it, and imprinted a divine thought on it.

Anyway, this was very simple for him.

"Here, by the way, Jie Sect has started recruiting disciples."

"What are the conditions?"

"Walk the Trial of Heart, exactly what you said."
