Entering the Divine King Realm!

"This... this is..."

Ji Jiuwu froze on the spot at the sight before him, muttering, "Could it be that Master is about to break through?"

Just as shocked as him were the disciples of the Dao-Seeking Sect, who stood there dumbfounded.

Even Qing Song and Yun He, who were already waiting outside the gate of the Dao-Seeking Sect, were attracted by this Dao Light. They exchanged a glance, then waved their hands, leaving a message in the sky.

Those who wish to become disciples must enter the Dao-Seeking Sect within three days to pass the first test.

The disciples from all the races who came to participate in the test were stunned when they saw this line of large characters. They did not expect the test of the Dao-Seeking Sect Seeking Sect to be so simple. As a result, countless beings poured into the Dao-Seeking Sect.

Yun He and Qing Song hurried up the mountain, discussing as they went, "Did you reduce the level of the fog array outside the mountain gate?"

After saying that, the two of them were stunned for a moment. Obviously, neither of them had done it. Fortunately, they already had tokens to control the mountain gate. After setting them up, they continued to climb the mountain.

The divine light grew brighter and brighter, soon shooting straight into the sky and shining brightly alongside the sun.

Everyone present waited quietly for Chu Feng to emerge from seclusion. Even Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian stopped what they were doing and waited quietly in the mountains.

As evening fell, the strange phenomenon ended, and Chu Feng emerged into the sunset. The moment he appeared, he became the sole focus of attention in the world, with all the sunlight concentrated on him.

He doesn't need to do much or say a word; just standing there, he is the supreme being in this world.

Upon seeing Chu Feng appear, all the disciples present knelt down and bowed to him.

Chu Feng broke through to become Divine King without a heavenly tribulation, but he was blessed by the Heavenly Dao. The moment he appeared, the entire Dao-Seeking Sect was enveloped in nine-colored light, and every disciple was bathed in the light.

Chu Feng spoke calmly, "Everyone, please sit cross-legged where you are and listen to my sermon."

His voice reached every corner of the Dao-Seeking Sect. The dozen or so lucky individuals who had just passed through the mist were overjoyed to hear this familiar voice. They never expected to hear the Dao Ancestor preach on their very first day at the Dao-Seeking Sect.

For a moment, Chu Feng's voice echoed throughout the entire Dao-Seeking Sect, and every disciple listened to the sound of the Great Dao.

Nine Heavens later, Chu Feng finished his lecture, and a burst of breakthrough aura emanated from within the Dao-Seeking Sect.

Cao Youqian and Xiao Chen entered a state of enlightenment, and they were only half a step away from the Saint Realm. After listening to Chu Feng's lecture, they would be able to break through to the Saint Realm in one fell swoop.

Seeing that they were in seclusion to break through their cultivation, Chu Feng did not disturb them. Instead, he gathered the disciples around him and asked, "Has anything happened at the Dao-Seeking Sect during my years of seclusion?"

Just as they were about to say that nothing had happened, they suddenly remembered something very important.

Ji Jiuwu was the first to step forward and admit his mistake, saying, "Master, we forgot that the disciple-acceptance ceremony was a few days ago, and we haven't yet brought those disciples up the mountain."

Chu Feng smiled upon hearing this and did not reprimand them. He said with a smile, "It's alright. Those newly accepted disciples must have a connection with me to hear my sermon. With their cultivation level, they cannot awaken from their enlightenment for a while. You may go down to the mountain area and choose your own disciples."

After saying this, he turned and disappeared. The crowd quickly and respectfully replied, "Yes, sir."

Ji Jiuwu then led his fellow disciples down the mountain in a hurry. When they saw that these little guys, just as their master had said, had not yet awakened from their enlightenment, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Qing Song asked, "Senior brother, how should we assess the aptitude of these disciples?"

Ji Jiuwu smiled and said, "Didn't Master already tell us the answer?"

Qing Song quickly realized that, according to his master, whoever woke up first among these disciples would have the highest talent.

After waiting for several days, the first young man to wake up finally appeared.

The moment the young man opened his eyes, he saw a group of powerful figures from the Dao-Seeking Sect smiling at him. He quickly stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Disciple Li Mu greets all the seniors."

No need for formalities.

Ji Jiuwu said with a smile.

Li Mu hadn't expected the powerful figures of the Dao-Seeking Sect to be so kind and approachable, completely different from what he had imagined.

You must know that in their city-state, those high-ranking figures would never speak to me in such a tone. I knew I hadn't come to the wrong place. I, Li Mu, will prove to the world that I am not an unlucky fellow!

He quickly stepped forward and asked, "Seniors, are there any other tests?"

Seeing that the others hadn't woken up either, Ji Jiuwu smiled and said, "Next, I will ask you a few questions. Just answer them truthfully."

"Please ask, senior."

Li Mu said politely.

"I already know your name. Tell me about your life."

Ji Jiuwu had already obtained the secret method for attracting geniuses from his two senior brothers, which was a top secret of their lineage.

Li Mu was stunned again. Was the Dao-Seeking Sect's assessment really this casual?

In his memory, the examinations of the major clans in the city-states all focused on physique, bloodline, comprehension, and so on. Why would the examination of the Dao-Seeking Sect, the number one power in the world, be...?

Despite his confusion, he recounted his experiences from childhood to adulthood, saying, "Finally, he muttered, 'Senior, am I a cursed star, a jinx? Everyone connected to me...'"

Li Mu dared not continue speaking until the very end, and could only secretly observe the expressions of his seniors.

To his surprise, after hearing his story, the seniors didn't show any disgust on their faces; instead, they looked at him with intense admiration.

???

Li Mu wore a completely bewildered expression.

Ji Jiuwu and the others realized their expressions were too exaggerated. They hadn't expected this guy to match everything their master had said. Had this prodigy arrived so quickly?

What kind of techniques do you want to practice at my Dao-Seeking Sect?

Ji Jiuwu suppressed his smile and asked.

"This... I haven't thought about it yet. After all, what I learned before was all learned by stealing information; I haven't actually practiced it."

After finishing his sentence, Li Mu scratched his head awkwardly. Feeling the expectant gazes of his seniors, he felt a surge of determination to work harder.

"It's alright. Once you've mastered the basics, we'll see what you're best suited to learn," Ji Jiuwu said nonchalantly.

"Senior, do you mean I passed the test?"

Li Mu asked excitedly.

"Good, please sit on the stone steps first."

As soon as Ji Jiuwu finished speaking, he heard a gurgling sound.

Li Mu's face flushed instantly, and he lowered his head awkwardly, muttering, "That's strange. I was definitely full when I came here, and I can go hungry for seven days after eating one meal, so why am I hungry again now?"

"Hahaha..."

Ji Jiuwu laughed and said, "That's because you haven't had a drop of water for ten days. Fortunately, the Spiritual Qi in this mountain is abundant, and the morning dew is enough to fill the stomachs of ordinary people, so you haven't starved to death."

Qing Song casually flicked his wrist, sending a drop of spiritual dew flying towards Li Mu, who instinctively opened his mouth.

After swallowing a drop of spiritual dew, Li Mu felt warm all over and his hunger completely disappeared.

He quickly cupped his hands towards the Qing Song and said, "Thank you for bestowing upon me the spiritual elixir, senior."

Qing Song smiled but didn't speak, instead waiting for the second disciple to wake up.

As time passed, eight beings gradually awoke. Among them were four Human Race and four cultivators from various races. One of them, a little creature made of jade, was particularly eye-catching.

Ji Jiuwu and the others knew he was extraordinary just by the spiritual light emanating from him, Yun He even praised him in public as having the appearance of Saint.

On the first night, the nine little ones followed Ji Jiuwu to the mountain to pay their respects to Chu Feng.

When they saw this legendary number one person of their time, their faces lit up with admiration, and they even forgot to bow.

Chu Feng smiled as he looked at the little ones and said, "Why don't you want to worship me when you see me?"

The nine little ones then realized what was happening and knelt on the ground, saying, "We pay our respects to the Dao Ancestor."

No need for formalities.

Chu Feng said calmly, "From now on, you don't need to call me Dao Ancestor. Just call me Sect Master. If you can become disciples of my nine disciples, then you can call me Grandmaster."

The nine little ones said in unison, "We will obey the sect leader's command."

"You may all leave."

Chu Feng waved his hand as he spoke.

"Promise."

After the nine little ones responded, they followed Ji Jiuwu out of the main hall.

Seven days later, the Dao-Seeking Sect's disciple-acceptance ceremony concluded, with a total of over five hundred people joining the Dao-Seeking Sect. Compared to the hundreds of thousands of beings who came to participate in the Dao-Seeking Sect's trials, five hundred was a pitifully small number.

All living beings realized that it was not an easy thing to join the Dao-Seeking Sect. Soon, some people remembered that they had heard that the founders of the Famous Sword Holy Land and the Tyrant Fist Holy Land came from the Dao-Seeking Sect. As a result, many cultivators who had not passed the trial decided to go to these two sects to become disciples and learn from them.

The arrival of the new disciples injected boundless vitality into the Dao-Seeking Sect Dao-Seeking Sect. Looking at the new disciples diligently cultivating, Chu Feng felt as if he had returned to his days at the Dao-Seeking Academy. He couldn't help but miss his family and disciples at the Dao-Seeking Academy. Now he was just waiting for his two disciples Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian, to break through to the Saint Realm so that they could take up the new banner.

Several months later, Chu Feng sensed two different fluctuations of energy emanating from the back mountain of the Dao-Seeking Sect...
