Summoning a Dou Zun Realm Expert, an Outer Sect Elder?

"System, use the Silver Summoning Card!"

On the stands, after recalling that the Misty Cloud Sect had colluded with the Hall of Souls, Ye Changge could not help narrowing his eyes.

Just in case, it was better to have more trump cards.

Although, in the current Dou Qi Continent, he did not really need any trump cards. With a Dou Emperor Realm ancestor who could descend with a single thought, what damn trump cards did he need?

Still, manpower would have to be compared sooner or later. No one ever complained about having too many experts.

As for the matter between Venerable Yao and Xiao Yan, he would deal with it after they returned.

Ding. Silver Summoning Card used successfully. Summoning...

Ding. Summoning successful.

Congratulations, Host. You have summoned a Dou Zun Realm Expert. Manifestation in progress.

"A Dou Zun?"

"With Ye Cheng as well, the sect's strength on the surface should barely be sufficient for the early stages of this battle against the heavens."

Ye Changge was still rather disappointed that he had not drawn a Dou Saint expert.

After all, a Silver Summoning Card could summon a Dou Saint Realm Great Power at most.

Still, he was satisfied. The goddess of luck could not always stand on his side, could she?

The previous Golden and Bronze Summoning Cards had both summoned the highest possible realm within their limits.

"Hall Master."

A middle-aged man appeared soundlessly beside Ye Changge.

There was not the slightest fluctuation of cultivation from him, making him seem like an ordinary person.

Unless he deliberately revealed the aura of his Dou Qi cultivation, who could have imagined that a Dou Zun Realm Great Power—an existence only beneath Dou Saints and standing at the peak of the continent's visible power structure—would appear here and greet someone so respectfully?

This one man alone was comparable to a first-rate force in the Central Continent.

Shi Hao and the other two also noticed Ye Changge's side.

"Such terrifying pressure?"

"I wonder which senior from the sect it is."

Xiao Yan still did not know about the Ye Emperor Hall, but Ye Changge had told Shi Hao that the Ye Emperor Hall's experts were either slumbering or traveling across the continent.

"Junior Brother, this is a senior from our Ye Emperor Hall. Let's go take a look."

Seeing Shi Hao and the other two approaching, Ye Changge said,

"You came at just the right time. Let me introduce you. This is Ye Bai, an Outer Sect Elder of our Ye Emperor Hall."

"An Outer Sect Elder!"

Shi Hao and Xiao Yan were both shaken. Senior Ye Cheng, an Outer Sect Elder, was already a Dou Ancestor Peak Expert!

The strength of this Outer Sect Elder was easy to imagine. He had to be an expert with even deeper Dou Qi cultivation.

"Shi Hao and Xiao Yan greet Elder!"

After their brief shock, the two spoke in unison.

"Mm. No need for such formalities."

Ye Changge fell into thought.

There were more and more people in the sect, yet the Ye Emperor Hall did not even have its own Sect Uniform.

Do not underestimate a Sect Uniform and think it was merely a piece of clothing. Uniform attire could strengthen disciples' sense of belonging and honor toward the sect, while also playing a major role in building the sect's reputation.

Ding. How can the future number one sect not have its own Sect Uniform?

Wouldn't it become a laughingstock if word got out?

Mission issued: Shine brilliantly at this Disciple Recruitment Assembly.
Mission reward: Exclusive sect uniform.

Just like that, someone had brought him a pillow when he was sleepy.

Ye Changge's eyes lit up. The system always appeared at exactly the right moment.

"Ahem. Enough nonsense. It's time for us to take the stage."

The Disciple Recruitment Assembly below had already entered its final stages.

The Misty Cloud Sect, the Imperial Family, and the other factions had nearly finished selecting their disciples.

As expected, the position of Young Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect still went to Nalan Yanran!

A fifteen-year-old three-star Dou Zhe—she had attracted everyone's attention.

As for the remaining disciples, they were divided among several Dou Wang elders within the sect and the other factions.

Those who had been selected were all brimming with high spirits.

"Haha, I've finally entered the Misty Cloud Sect I've always dreamed of joining."

"Congratulations, congratulations. You've all gotten what you wished for."

"Teacher, the Disciple Recruitment Assembly is over. Let's go."

Nalan Yanran, who had long since returned to Yun Yun's side, cupped her hands and asked her teacher.

"Wait a little longer. I received word that there will be an exchange tournament among the disciples of the major factions later. Let's watch for a while longer."

"And those few—just where did they come from?"

Yun Yun spoke casually from the side.

"Ah, Teacher means those mysterious people?"

"Everyone, this Disciple Recruitment Assembly of the Misty Cloud Sect has concluded successfully."

"Next comes the exchange tournament for the sects and factions of the Jia Ma Empire."

The various sects and family factions were invited to the center of the venue. Naturally, only the major forces with some standing within the empire received such treatment.

As for the smaller sects and families, they could do whatever they liked.

Of course, Ye Changge's group of five was also invited up. This had been specifically arranged by the Misty Cloud Sect's Grand Elder.

"Everyone, now that we are all gathered here, the exchange tournament officially begins."

"Each of you may send out your finest disciples for a match. Naturally, their ages must be comparable. The strong must never bully the weak."

The eyes of the various sects lit up. This was the perfect place to make a name for themselves.

This grand Disciple Recruitment Assembly had drawn the eyes of the entire Jia Ma Empire here. Even though it had already ended—

—the excitement had yet to fade. Making even the slightest splash here was something one could boast about for a lifetime.

Clearly, the disciples of the various sects understood this as well.

"Haha, then I won't stand on ceremony, everyone. Mu Kui of the Mu Family seeks instruction. Who dares fight me?"

"I, Mite'er Tai Mei of the Mite'er Family, have come to challenge the Mu Family."

The two began fighting as soon as they spoke, trading punches and kicks in a closely contested battle.

In the end, Mu Kui of the Mu Family narrowly won.

As the match between the two great families of the Imperial Capital came to an end, the other factions' battles also continued in full swing.

"Master, this disciple would like to go stretch his limbs as well."

Shi Hao could no longer hold himself back at the sight. Since recovering from his injuries, he had yet to have a proper battle.

"Mm, the Dou Spirit Realm already."

Ye Changge looked at Shi Hao, who was ready to fight. This kid had only been at the peak of the Da Dou Shi realm when he came to the Misty Cloud Sect, yet he had silently broken through already.

"Yes, Master. I broke through after taking just a few steps."

"Holy shit, Eldest Senior Brother is in the Dou Spirit Realm!"

Xiao Yan stared in shock at his Eldest Senior Brother, who was about the same age as him. Comparing people really could make one furious!

"Shi Hao, Outer Disciple of the Ye Emperor Hall, seeks instruction."

In the time it took to speak, Shi Hao had already stepped into the center of the arena. Dressed in black robes, his eight-foot-tall frame radiated an imposing aura, while intense battle intent filled his chiseled face.

"The Ye Emperor Hall? I've never heard of that sect."

"That can't be right. A sect invited to this exchange tournament shouldn't be some nameless little sect, should it?"

"I remember now. Isn't that the sect that fell from being a first-rate force in the empire to an insignificant one?"

The many factions below the stage began discussing it among themselves.

Everyone here was a prominent figure in the Jia Ma Empire. Not just any nobody could issue a challenge.

"Grand Elder, the Ye Emperor Hall is an insignificant little faction. What right does it have to sit here and compete with us?"

Seeing the noisy scene, the Misty Cloud Sect's Grand Elder stepped forward to explain.

"What? Do you have a problem with that?"

"I personally invited the Ye Emperor Hall. If anyone is dissatisfied, come seek instruction from this old man."

He wanted to use this sect gathering to test the Ye Emperor Hall and see whether they had found the sect's internal inheritance, so that he could take a share for himself later.
