#345 - Chapter 345 Sect Ceremony - Qi Refining Level 3000, Accepting The Empress As A Disciple At The Beginning

In a flash, three days passed.

After Lin Yaoyao and the others finished their evening banquet, some went into secluded cultivation to break through their realms, while others continued to refine their techniques.

Meanwhile, after Xinghe Sect quelled all the chaos in Lianyun Continent, they began their grand sect ceremony.

A three-day-long disciple recruitment event!

This sect ceremony would be incredibly lively.

After all, Lianyun Continent now only had two major sects: one was Yuxiang Sect, which wasn't destroyed because of its relatively good relationship with Xinghe Sect.

The other was Xinghe Sect, the largest sect in Lianyun Continent and also the one that ruled it.

This time, the Xinghe Sect's disciple recruitment ceremony would attract countless people seeking to join.

Previously, each major sect had its own territory, and they could only recruit disciples within their own territory, without overstepping boundaries.

But now it was different; the entire Lianyun Continent was under the control of Xinghe Sect, and anyone from anywhere could come to the Star Gazing Pavilion to join the sect.

Even if you didn't come to Xinghe Sect, you could join other sects, but those other sects were also affiliated with the Star Gazing Pavilion and had to listen to it in everything.

Whether it was cultivation techniques or the resources used, they all depended on Xinghe Sect's distribution.

That was the extent of Xinghe Sect's control.

Even if you weren't in Xinghe Sect, you still had to obey Xinghe Sect's distribution.

Xinghe Sect was the main sect, and the others were branch sects.

Everyone knew which was stronger and which was weaker.

Therefore,

when Xinghe Sect announced that it would hold a grand sect ceremony, many people immediately set off, preparing to participate.

But to participate in Xinghe Sect's disciple recruitment, one had to meet the standards.

First, they must not have deep ties with other sects, and second, within three generations, they must not have relatives who were members of other sects.

These two conditions directly eliminated nearly half of the people.

After all, which large family didn't rely on a sect?

But even after eliminating nearly half of the people, there were still many people who wanted to join Xinghe Sect.

"Ding, detected a Child of Destiny born with luck approaching Xinghe Sect, please go and accept him as a disciple!"

Ye Kong was stunned when he heard this, feeling somewhat surprised.

A disciple recruitment ceremony actually had a good disciple.

Ye Kong put down his fishing rod and leisurely went down the mountain.

Di Mu saw this and immediately followed.

"Ye Kong, where are you going?" Di Mu asked as she followed.

"Going to accept a disciple," Ye Kong said calmly.

Di Mu frowned slightly upon hearing this and said, "Isn't it still in the screening phase? And aren't you allowed to not accept disciples?"

"I'll accept whoever catches my eye," Ye Kong said indifferently.

After Ye Kong walked down Xiaoyao Peak, he saw that disciples were being screened at the entrance of Xiaoyao Peak.

Anyone with qualified talent could enter the Xinghe Sect gate and wait for each peak to choose.

"Martial Uncle Ye Kong!" The Daoist child respectfully greeted when he saw Ye Kong.

"Martial Uncle Ye Kong, are you here to accept a disciple? The sect master asked me to invite you to Xinghe Square to choose a disciple," the Daoist child said again.

Ye Kong ignored him and searched for the Child of Destiny in the crowd.

However, he looked left and right but didn't see any Child of Destiny.

At this moment, outside the sect gate,

many young men and women were lining up, waiting to be screened.

"It's almost my turn, I wonder if I'll have a chance," a young man dressed in coarse linen clothes said excitedly.

"Heh, others joining Xinghe Sect is no problem, but you… a mud-legged guy, who would take a fancy to you?" A man in brocade clothes behind him said.

Chen Tiedan's enthusiasm didn't diminish at all upon hearing this.

"I should always give it a try."

"It is said that the peak master of Xiaoyao Peak will also accept disciples, I wonder if I can be favored by the peak master of Xiaoyao Peak," someone said.

"Xiaoyao Peak, isn't that just a broken mountain peak?"

"Brother, you're outdated, do you know about the Thirteen Continents Competition? Do you know about the Nascent Soul Ranking, Golden Core Ranking, and Foundation Establishment Ranking? The ones at the top of the three rankings are all disciples of Xiaoyao Peak."

"That's right, although the peak master of Xiaoyao Peak is weak, his disciples are more heaven-defying than the next, who in the entire cultivation world doesn't know them?"

"It would be great if I could be their junior brother."

Many people were looking forward to it, wanting to join Xiaoyao Peak and become Lin Yaoyao and their junior brothers and sisters.

Chen Tiedan was even more excited upon hearing this.

"Next!" The Law Enforcement Hall disciple testing talent shouted expressionlessly.

Chen Tiedan saw that it was his turn and walked onto the testing platform full of anticipation.

There was not a single ray of light on the testing platform.

"No talent, next!" The Law Enforcement Hall shouted expressionlessly.

"Give me another chance, please give me another chance?" Chen Tiedan said anxiously.

"Chen Tiedan, get down, don't embarrass yourself up there," the young man in brocade clothes behind him shouted.

Chen Tiedan looked at the person testing the talent upon hearing this.

"Okay, let's test it again," the Law Enforcement Hall disciple said, being relatively understanding.

Chen Tiedan stood on the testing platform and tested his talent, but there was still no light.

The young man in brocade clothes came up, kicked him down, and then a burst of blue light erupted on the testing platform.

"Good aptitude," the Law Enforcement Hall disciple said, writing down his name.

All those whose names were written down were people with good aptitude and would be given to Ye Kong for priority selection.

Chen Tiedan lay on the ground, wanting to cry but having no tears.

"Could it be that I really don't have the talent for cultivation?"

He tested several times in a row, but there was no reaction at all.

"Greetings, Martial Uncle Ye!" The Law Enforcement Hall disciple who was testing talent immediately cupped his hands and saluted when he saw Ye Kong walking out.

The young men and women who were queuing up for screening all looked at Ye Kong after hearing this.

"He's the peak master of Xiaoyao Peak? So handsome!"

"I want to take him as my teacher!"

"Although he's weak, that doesn't stop me from admiring him!"

Many people secretly discussed.

"Martial Uncle Ye, these are the people with better talent, the sect master asked me to record a copy for you," the Law Enforcement Hall disciple said respectfully.

Ye Kong glanced at it casually and threw it aside.

He looked around and saw Chen Tiedan lying on the ground, full of disappointment.

He was dressed in rags, but he had a look of perseverance, and most importantly, he had super strong luck.

It's you!

Ye Kong walked over, bent down, and extended his hand.

Chen Tiedan saw this and wiped his hands on his clothes.

"Are you willing to take me as your teacher?" Ye Kong said softly.

"You are… the peak master of Xiaoyao Peak?" Chen Tiedan asked weakly.

"That's right," Ye Kong nodded.

Chen Tiedan's mind went blank.

The peak master of Xiaoyao Peak… wants to accept me as a disciple?

As soon as these words came out, everyone was extremely shocked.
