At this point,
Even the Late Fifth Grade Earth Immortal Sect Master Li of the Crane Immortal Sect was getting restless!
He picked up the cup filled with spiritual wine, raised it to Lin Xuankong, and revealed a warm and friendly smile.
"Look at those cultivators with Mr. Mu, they are all extraordinary, far surpassing ordinary Layer Nine Perfection cultivators, and even not weaker than some genius disciples of immortal sects!"
And those seven people actually called Mr. Mu their Adoptive Father!
Mr. Mu himself is quite powerful, easily defeating Chang Li who was wielding four Early-stage Demon King level Earthwalker Dragon. It's truly astonishing that Mr. Mu's seven adopted sons are also so extraordinary!
I believe that in this Disciple Recruitment Competition Ceremony of my Crane Immortal Sect, Mr. Mu's seven adopted sons and his confidante Xiao Ying'er will surely be victorious and join my Crane Immortal Sect with Mr. Mu!
As the sect leader of the Crane Immortal Sect, I extend my warmest welcome to Mr. Mu and his entourage in advance!
The Sect Master Li of the Crane Immortal Sect, Li, was clearly impressed by Lin Xuankong's ability to equip his close associates with Early Stage Immortal Artifact. This gave him no doubt about Lin Xuankong's artifact crafting skills, and he couldn't help but try to curry favor with Lin Xuankong once again!
However, unlike the Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er and the Earth Immortals of the Northern Desolate Immortal Sect and the Western Nether Immortal Sect, his gesture of goodwill was quite subtle!
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuankong immediately raised his cup to the Crane Immortal Sect's Sect Master Li, saying, " Sect Master Li's praise makes Mu Shiba a little embarrassed! Moreover, if we can join the Crane Immortal Sect Crane Immortal Sect, we will all become its retainers and disciples. We will need Sect Master Li's Sect Master Li support in the future, so please don't stand on ceremony!"
Upon seeing this, Sect Master Li of the Crane Immortal Sect laughed heartily and downed the wine in his cup in one gulp.
At this moment, Sect Master Li was already feeling extremely pleased.
The Earth Immortals from the Northern Desolate Immortal Sect, the Western Dwelling Immortal Sect, the Western Nether Immortal Sect, and other sects standing nearby, upon seeing this scene, couldn't help but show envy when they looked at Sect Master Li of the Crane Immortal Sect.
If this competition hadn't been held at the Crane Immortal Sect, and if they weren't currently in Spirit Crane Immortal City, on the Crane Immortal Sect's territory, these Earth Immortals would probably have already offered even more generous terms to 'snatch' them away!
Thinking that ' Mu Shiba ' had already agreed to join the Crane Immortal Sect Crane Immortal Sect become its first elder, the Earth Immortals from the Northern Desolate Immortal Sect and other immortal sects felt that the originally sweet spiritual wine had become somewhat bitter, and the spiritual fruits they ate were no longer so sweet!
The several earth immortals exchanged glances, all seeing the resentment and helplessness in each other's eyes.
At this moment, Sect Master Li of the Crane Immortal Sect suddenly raised his cup and addressed the assembled Earth Immortals:
"Today, Mr. Mu has agreed to become the First Elder of my Crane Immortal Sect, which is truly worthy of great celebration. In a few days, my Crane Immortal Sect will definitely hold a grand celebration ceremony to welcome Mr. Mu to join our Crane Immortal Sect. Fellow Daoists, you must attend! Hahahaha!"
At this moment, Sect Master Li of the Crane Immortal Sect was beaming with joy, as if he had just found a hundred Early Stage Immortal Artifact!
Seeing how happy Sect Master Li the Crane Immortal Sect was, the Earth Immortals from the Northern Desolate Immortal Sect and other sects became even more depressed, wishing they could smash their cups on the spot!
However, considering that Sect Master Li of the Crane Immortal Sect was currently using the name of ' Mu Shiba ', they couldn't directly refuse!
After all, they were all Earth Immortals from various powerful immortal sects. They might not give face to Sect Master Li the Crane Immortal Sect, but how could they not give face to that super weapon-refining master, Mu Shiba!
"Hehe, Sect Master Li seems quite pleased! However, I heard that you've encountered a bottleneck in your cultivation, and your cultivation level hasn't advanced for seven hundred years. Alas, besides welcoming Mr. Mu to your Crane Immortal Sect, this cup of wine is also meant to comfort Sect Master Li, so that you won't be unhappy because your cultivation hasn't improved!"
The Third Grade Earth Immortal of the Northern Desolate Immortal Sect raised his wine cup, his face bearing a congratulatory expression, but his eyes held a look of schadenfreude!
"That's right, I've also heard that Guo Haishan Sect Master Li's cultivation hasn't progressed for seven hundred years! Although my cultivation has progressed slowly, in the last eight hundred years, I've raised my cultivation from the late stage of the Subordinate Third Rank to the Third Grade Perfection. Once I find enough entry-level Profound Truth Jade Stone, I can consider whether to break through to the fourth rank!"
However, cultivation is something that cannot be rushed. Sect Master Li, please don't be anxious. I, Guo Haishan, am not necessarily able to catch up with your cultivation level!
Oh, by the way, Sect Master Li, you just said you wanted to welcome Mr. Mu to the Crane Immortal Sect. Of course, we should have a good drink about it!
Guo Haishan Immortal from the Western Nether Immortal Sect, wore a mocking expression, clearly displeased that Sect Master Li was so happy at the moment.
The Third Grade Earth Immortal from the Western Dwelling Immortal Sect shook his head, picked up his wine cup, and said to Lin Xuankong:
" Mr. Mu, I wonder if you are already married. Have you heard of the Lingxiu Fairy, who is quite famous in the Western Region of the Central Divine Dynasty of my Western Dwelling Immortal Sect? Her cultivation is now at the Fourth Grade Late Stage, and her Immortal Body is extremely perfect. She is known as the number one fairy in the Western Regions. Most importantly, the Lingxiu Fairy of my Western Dwelling Immortal Sect is also quite interested in the art of weapon crafting, but unfortunately she has never found a like-minded person!"
If Mr. Mu is interested, perhaps I could use the communication jade token to contact Lingxiu Fairy and have her come to meet Mr. Mu?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuankong was speechless.
Sect Master Li the Crane Immortal Sect laughed even more triumphantly.
Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er picked up her wine cup and sat down at the table next to Lin Xuankong. She raised her wine cup and smiled:
" The Lingxiu Fairy's Immortal Body and appearance are naturally far beyond those of ordinary people, but what standard is there for perfection? As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Mr. Mu has a confidante, Xiao Ying'er Xiao Ying'er, who I think is absolutely stunning. Most importantly, she and Mr. Mu are deeply in love. I think others should not interfere!"
After saying that, she raised her eyebrows at the Third Grade Earth Immortal of the Western Dwelling Immortal Sect, looking all smiles.
The Third Grade Earth Immortal of the Western Dwelling Immortal Sect, after hearing Crane Immortal Fairy's words, was momentarily speechless. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke:
"Everyone says that Crane Immortal Fairy of the Crane Immortal Sect is quick-witted and eloquent, and seeing her today, I can confirm it!"
Forget it, I won't interfere here anymore. I just hope that after Mr. Mu joins your Crane Immortal Sect, we can ask Mr. Mu to refine Early Stage Immortal Artifact. Please don't try to raise the price!
"Come, come, no matter what, with Mr. Mu joining us, our Western Region of the Central Divine Dynasty will surely continue to rise. In the future, when facing our fellow cultivators from the Eastern Regions, Southern Islands, Northern Wilderness, and the Divine Dynasty, we won't be ridiculed for not even having a single immortal artifact!"
Upon hearing this, all the earth immortals burst into laughter.
Afterwards, many Earth Immortals raised their cups to toast Sect Master Li and Lin Xuankong of the Crane Immortal Sect, celebrating Lin Xuankong Crane Immortal Sect.
Although these Earth Immortals were somewhat "jealous" because Lin Xuankong had joined the Crane Immortal Sect, there was nothing they could do since the deed was done. They could only suppress their frustration and outwardly celebrate with Sect Master Li of the Crane Immortal Sect and Lin Xuankong.
Overjoyed, Sect Master Li of the Crane Immortal Sect beckoned to Huang Liutao, a Second Grade Earth Immortal, and asked him to summon the female disciples of the Crane Immortal Sect who were playing celestial music and performing celestial dances.
soon,
High above, amidst the clouds, celestial music filled the air, and numerous beautiful, veiled female cultivators performed exquisite dances.
This truly broadened Lin Xuankong's horizons.
After all, in his previous life, Lin Xuankong had seen dances, no matter how beautiful the moves were, most of them involved dancing on the ground. However, the dancers of the Crane Immortal Sect had a cultivation level of at least the eighth level of perfection, and most of them were ninth-level cultivators!
When the numerous cultivators and dancers danced, they were not only able to float in and out, performing various eye-catching dance moves in mid-air, but their bodies were also extremely flexible due to the special techniques they had cultivated, enabling them to perform various difficult and wonderful dance moves that ordinary people could not do at all!
This made Lin Xuankong secretly sigh; the enjoyment of immortals was indeed worlds apart from that of ordinary people.
Cultivators at the eighth or ninth level would be considered top-tier experts in any dynasty, capable of controlling the lives and deaths of millions.
If this were Lin Xuankong's previous life, he would be a superhuman, a god-like being, probably revered and worshipped by millions. But in the Crane Immortal Sect, these eighth and ninth level cultivators can only become dancers for people's amusement!
While Lin Xuankong and the many Earth Immortals were drinking and making merry, the fourth round of the competition had already begun.
However, at this moment, besides focusing on the cultivators who were competing, many of the more than 100,000 cultivators were also looking at the immortal banquet that was taking place in the clouds high in the sky!
As everyone watched Lin Xuankong mingling and drinking with numerous Earth Immortals, almost every cultivator wore a clear expression of envy.
Those were the high and mighty Earth Immortals, terrifying beings who could kill dozens or even hundreds of ninth-level cultivators with a wave of their hand. Above the clouds were also several vice-leaders of immortal sects, and even a Sect Master Li from the Crane Immortal Sect.
However, these Earth Immortals, who held incredibly high positions and possessed terrifying strength, were all toasting Lin Xuankong Lin Xuankong repeatedly, showing him the utmost respect!
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, many cultivators would hardly have believed it!
Another hour or so passed,
The fourth, fifth, and sixth rounds of the competition have now concluded.
After this competition, the remaining victors are mostly talented disciples from various immortal sects, with only a small number being so-called prodigies from various dynasties!
The Lin Family Seven Tigers and the Third Princess Xiao Ying'er did not disappoint Lin Xuankong. This time, they still relied on a Early Stage Immortal Artifact to quickly defeat their opponents. Apart from Hu Shuo and Li Er, who suffered some minor injuries and then recovered quickly with the Marsh Python Gallbladder Juice, the others completely defeated their opponents!
These rounds of battles have once again proven that Early Stage Immortal Artifact in hand truly makes one stand out!
The other cultivators, even if they won, paid a heavy price. In order to obtain the qualification of a disciple of the Crane Immortal Sect and to obtain the Sixth Heavenly Meridian Vein Spirit Crane, many cultivators fought with their lives. After three rounds of battle, even with the help of the Earth Immortals of the Crane Immortal Sect, more than a thousand cultivators still died!
As a result, by the seventh and eighth rounds, the competition was proceeding at a slightly faster pace.
One reason is that there are fewer and fewer cultivators participating in the competition.
On the other hand, with the final qualification becoming increasingly close, how could everyone not fight tooth and nail?
The third reason is that after so many rounds of elimination, only extremely strong cultivators remain. When experts clash, the outcome is naturally swift, unlike when novices fight amongst themselves!
As a result, after two rounds of competition, over a thousand more cultivators were killed or injured!
Faced with increasingly powerful opponents, the Lin Family Seven Tigers and the Third Princess Xiao Ying'er had no choice but to use their trump cards once again, each automatically using their second Early Stage Immortal Artifact!
The group that came with ' Mu Shiba ' actually used Early Stage Immortal Artifact again. This scene, seen by many cultivators, naturally caused the more than 100,000 cultivators to show extremely surprised expressions once again.
At the same time, after noticing that the Lin Family Seven Tigers and the Third Princess Xiao Ying'er had once again used a Early Stage Immortal Artifact, the earth immortals in the clouds high above, including Crane Immortal Sect Master Li the Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er, became even more respectful towards Lin Xuankong.
The competition continued until the afternoon before the final round was completed!
What pleased Lin Xuankong the most was that the Lin Family Seven Tigers and the Third Princess Xiao Ying'er each quickly defeated their opponents with just two Early Stage Immortal Artifact. They didn't even have to use a third Early Stage Immortal Artifact, nor did they use the Immortal Capturing Array Formation that Lin Xuankong had taught them!
Xiao Yan and Feng Lingling of the Five Elements Immortal Sect easily defeated their opponents with their Great Five Elements Technique, becoming the most watched cultivators in the entire competition, apart from the Lin Family Seven Tigers and the Third Princess Xiao Ying'er!
Besides, nine of the other ten victors were talented disciples from various immortal sects.
Only one person, named Luo Tian, was a cultivator from a dynasty called the Great Luo Dynasty.
His Heavenly Demon Bone Demonic Technique were extremely powerful, capable of summoning an almost endless number of eighth-tier demonic phantoms to swarm his opponent using an attack method similar to the Fire Spirit Sect's self-destructing giant sparrow.
In other words,
Besides the Lin Family Seven Tigers and the Third Princess Xiao Ying'er
Of all the so-called peerless geniuses from various dynasties, only one cultivator surpassed some of the talented disciples from immortal sects to become the final victor!
This is actually quite normal. The genius disciples of various immortal sects are originally so-called peerless prodigies from various dynasties. After joining the immortal sects, they also obtain some of the sects' resources and powerful cultivation techniques, so naturally they are stronger than the cultivators from the various dynasties!
Thus, the Crane Immortal Sect's Disciple Recruitment Competition Ceremony finally came to an end, and the more than 100,000 cultivators who had watched left the Crane Immortal Sect's Martial Arts Field with lingering excitement!
As they left the Martial Arts Field, almost every cultivator was talking about Lin Xuankong.
A ninth-level cultivator from a remote dynasty possesses a total of seven Early Stage Immortal Artifact.
A ninth-level cultivator from a remote dynasty dared to directly confront Duan He and Chang Li, the Flame Saber Duan He Fire Spirit Immortal Sect.
A ninth-level cultivator from a remote dynasty was respected by many Earth Immortals, and was even directly invited to the high heavens to enjoy the spiritual fruits and wines, and the celestial music and dances that only immortals could enjoy!
This scene was something that these more than 100,000 cultivators had never even dreamed of!
It is conceivable that once these more than 100,000 cultivators return to Crane Immortal City and their respective dynasties and sects, the name ' Mu Shiba ' will immediately become known to everyone in countless dynasties and sects in the Western Region of the Central Divine Dynasty!
After the many cultivators left,
The twenty victors, excluding Lin Xuankong, were all taken to the Crane Immortal Sect's Martial Arts Hall, located on one side of the Martial Arts Field!
Lin Xuankong naturally followed Sect Master Li the Crane Immortal Sect, Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er, and others to the Martial Arts Hall. At this moment, Lin Xuankong's eyes were filled with anticipation. He knew that next, the treasure he cared about most would appear— the Sixth Heavenly Meridian Spirit Material!
This martial arts hall, located on the east side of the Crane Immortal Sect's Martial Arts Field, is extremely magnificent and splendid. Its beams and pillars are made of black iron, and the floor is covered with arrays engraved with countless mysterious patterns, which are even more powerful than the arrays in the Martial Arts Field that can withstand the attacks of Early Earth Immortal!
Inside the lobby,
Sect Master Li of the Crane Immortal Sect, stood on the innermost high platform. More than a dozen Earth Immortals from the Crane Immortal Sect, including Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er and Second Grade Earth Immortal Huang Liutao, were lined up on his left and right. Two hundred elite disciples of the Crane Immortal Sect stood solemnly on both sides of the Tang Dynasty.
Earth Immortals from various immortal sects, such as the Northern Desolate Immortal Sect Western Dwelling Immortal Sect Western Nether Immortal Sect, and the Five Elements Immortal Sect, sat on seats on both sides of the main hall. Lin Xuankong, who had become the first enshrined disciple of the Crane Immortal Sect, was seated in the first seat on the left!
His seat was prominently placed at the very top among all the Earth Immortals.
A cultivator at the Layer Nine Perfection has actually reached such a position. This is clearly unprecedented, whether in the Crane Immortal Sect, the Northern Desolate Immortal Sect, the Western Dwelling Immortal Sect, or the Western Nether Immortal Sect!
However, none of the Earth Immortals present, including all the disciples of the Crane Immortal Sect and the twenty victorious cultivators, raised any objections, nor did any of them feel that anything was amiss!
Lin Xuankong, however, was quite moved.
I originally planned to join the Crane Immortal Sect Crane Immortal Sect and become an ordinary disciple, hoping to gain access to some of the Crane Immortal Sect's resources, a Crane Immortal Sect Crane Immortal Sect Immortal Yuan Cave Mansion breakthrough, and some of its immortal techniques.
Little did he know that simply revealing one of his many trump cards—his skill in crafting immortal artifacts—would earn him such an honor!
At this moment, apart from the Lin Family Seven Tigers and the Third Princess Xiao Ying'er, almost all the other cultivators who were victors looked at Lin Xuankong with a hint of envy on their faces.
They were both participating in the competition, both vying for the Sixth Heavenly Meridian Spirit Material of the Crane Immortal Sect, yet the other person sat at the head of all the Earth Immortals, while they had to stand in the main hall. The difference in their treatment was like heaven and earth!
Feng Lingling from the Five Elements Immortal Sect had her big eyes darting around as she looked at Lin Xuankong, a hint of resentment on her face.
Sect Master Li of the Crane Immortal Sect glanced at the many victors, then stroked his three long strands of beard and solemnly spoke:
"You are all geniuses among tens of thousands of geniuses, and outstanding talents among countless prodigies. It is a great honor for our Crane Immortal Sect to be able to accept you as disciples!"
Of course, among you are disciples from other immortal sects who have come to compete for the Sixth Heavenly Meridian Spirit Material. Since my Crane Immortal Sect has promised the other immortal sects that we would use this Disciple Recruitment Competition Ceremony to fairly distribute the Sixth Heavenly Meridian Spirit Material Treasure, we will naturally not go back on our word!
After speaking, he nodded slightly to Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er.
Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er took out a golden-patterned ghost Ghost Doll Pouch Ghost Doll Pouch from her bosom. She reached out and touched the pouch, and when she withdrew her right hand, there were already twenty-one round spiritual objects shimmering with a hazy spiritual light above her right hand.
The spirit object was neither metal nor stone, neither wood nor fire. Besides shimmering with countless wisps of spiritual light, it constantly conjured various illusions: miniature blazing suns with shimmering light, miniature full moons with shimmering cold light, and countless stars with shimmering spiritual light. It also seemed that countless beings of all kinds were constantly appearing and disappearing within it, as if countless things were contained within that small spirit object!
Many victorious cultivators, including the Lin Family Seven Tigers and the Third Princess Xiao Ying'er, as well as the earth immortals from various immortal sects, all showed a look of amazement upon seeing this scene.
As cultivators, they had naturally seen all sorts of Kui Water Spirit Material, Yimu Wood Spirit Material, Thick Earth Spirit Material, Metal Spirit Material, and Departing Fire Spirit Material. However, among all the ordinary and rare spiritual objects they had seen, there was none that could compare to the ethereal spirituality of this Sixth Heavenly Meridian Spirit Material before them!
Most remarkably, it seems that looking at these Sixth Heavenly Meridian Spirit Material for even a short while can bring peace of mind and clarity of spirit!
Guo Haishan, Third Grade Earth Immortal of the Western Nether Immortal Sect, couldn't help but sigh:
"As expected of the Sixth Heavenly Meridian Spirit Material, its spirituality truly surpasses that of the Five Elements Spiritual Material, making it the most important spiritual object that transcends the Three Realms and the Five Elements!"
Unfortunately, when I advanced from the Layer Nine Perfection to the Earth Immortal Realm realm, I didn't encounter any fortuitous encounters and couldn't obtain such a spiritual item that could greatly increase my chances of surviving the Heavenly Tribulation! If I had had such an opportunity back then, I would be far beyond the third-grade realm now; I would probably have already made great strides to the fourth or even Fifth Grade Earth Immortal realm!
The Third Grade Earth Immortal from the Northern Desolate Immortal Sect also sighed, "It's said that the Sixth Heavenly Meridian Spirit Material only appears once every nine thousand years! Old Guo, Old Yan, you and I are just like them, born at the wrong time. But if we hadn't advanced to the Earth Immortal Realm realm back then, how could we have lived to this point with only the lifespan of the ninth level of the realm!"
At this point, he looked at the twenty winners, a hint of envy in his eyes, "These youngsters, although they are all latecomers, are all exceptionally talented and have incredible luck!"
