C61 The Heavenly Dao Sect Accepts Disciples

The old monk looked at the shattered Buddha statue with deep fear in his eyes.

"Senior Brother, should we report this matter to the sect?" The old man asked.

Little Sha Mi shook her head. "Now that he's gone, we don't know where he's going. It's too late to report it to the sect."

"But our Zen Sect should have eliminated the demons and let this dangerous person go. If his demonic nature were to erupt, wouldn't he be harming all living things?" The old man was very unwilling.

"Buddha and devil can be killed with a single thought. Furthermore, he doesn't have demonic Qi on him. If we kill him by mistake, it would be a grave mistake!" Little Sha Mi shook her head. "Don't hold on to it. Go and bring people to change the Buddha statues."

Lin Yue knew nothing about this. He left the Myriad Buddha Mountain and headed towards the Heavenly Tao Sect.

The Heavenly Tao Sect was located at the north side of the Daxuan Country. It was nearly ten thousand miles away from here.

Luckily, Lin Yue had the Wind Controlling Technique, which allowed him to travel five hundred miles per day.

Twenty days later, they arrived at a place called Sky Gate County.

This place wasn't large, but it was densely populated, and the streets were bustling with activity.

"Come, little brother, you're also here to participate in the Heavenly Tao Sect's disciple recruitment, right? Come, I have a test procedure here, and I only need one tael of silver." Someone shouted at Lin Yue.

"Disciple recruitment, when will it start?" Lin Yue asked.

"You don't even know this?" The peddler looked at Lin Yue in surprise. "You are too inaccurate. You should buy this book of mine. It will start in three days."

Lin Yue took out one tael of silver and bought a bamboo scroll. On it were the details of the Heavenly Tao Sect's test.

This was not a secret. In Sky Gate County, even ordinary people were familiar with this process. This was because the Heavenly Tao Sect had been accepting disciples for thousands of years.

Lin Yue found an inn to stay at. After setting up a formation, he entered the Fiendgod Pagoda.

After staring at Ding Xiangzi's divine soul for a moment, he began to cultivate on the Tai Chi pattern.

On the third day, he arrived at a vast field.

This place was already packed with people. The Heavenly Tao Sect's disciple recruitment competition, which was held once every five years, had officially begun today.

There were tens of thousands of people gathered here. It was very lively.

After a moment, two sword lights shot over from the sky. A man and a woman appeared on the tall platform. The sword lights wrapped around their feet before dissipating.

The man was handsome and the woman was elegant.

"I am Li Zhiqing, this is my junior sister, Xia Ying. We are the inner circle disciples of Heavenly Tao Sect." The man said proudly. His voice wasn't loud, but it could clearly be heard by everyone.

"We will be responsible for the selection of the junior disciples. Those who pass will be brought to the sect for the next test " Li Zhiqing said, and a black stone the size of a human head appeared in his hand. He placed it on the table, "This is the testing stone, the examiner places his hand on it and infuses it with spirit energy. Depending on the color and degree of light on the stone, it shows how talented you are"

"Only those under the age of thirty are qualified to take the test, if there is a troublemaker, their cultivation will be directly crippled" Li Zhiqing coldly said, "The test begins now!"

Xia Ying took out a bamboo slip, held a brush, and stood by the side.

A man took the lead to step forward, injecting spirit energy into the stone, but the stone didn't even light up.

"Failed, next!" Li Zhiqing said coldly.

Just like that, twenty people walked up one after another. Not a single one of them could make the testing stone light up.

The crowd that was full of confidence could not help but feel worried when they saw this.

When the fortieth person went up for the test, the test stone lit up. However, there was only a faint light at the bottom.

"His talent in martial cultivation is slightly better than ordinary people, but it doesn't meet the requirements of the Heavenly Tao Sect. If he doesn't meet the requirements, then next!" Li Zhiqing said coldly.

The man's originally happy face immediately turned stiff, and he walked down dejectedly.

One. Red-clothed Woman slowly walked up and placed her hand on the testing stone. After a moment, the stone shone brightly and gave off a white light!

Li Zhiqing was also a little surprised and said in surprise, "Your talent is excellent, you passed!"

Xia Ying let the woman stand beside her and make some registration.

With the woman's success, everyone seemed to regain some confidence and went forward to take the test.

However, out of the 3,000 people who took the test, only less than 20 passed.

"This test isn't accurate. I'm clearly at the ninth level of the Pulse Opening, but I still didn't pass it. There's a kid who's only at the eighth level of the Pulse Opening, but he actually passed the test. Where's the logic in this?" Someone complained.

"Why didn't you say that he's six years younger than you? This test stone is to test your cultivation talent, not your cultivation base. Do you understand?" Someone shot him a disdainful glance.

Lin Yue walked up and pressed his hand on the smooth stone, injecting Spirit Qi into it.

As his silver hair was rather conspicuous, everyone quieted down and watched quietly.

The testing stone did not react at all.

"Failed!" Li Zhiqing looked at Lin Yue with disgust.

He was so young.

How could he cultivate in peace at such a young age?

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the testing stone emit a dazzling golden light!

"Extraordinary talent!" Li Zhiqing was extremely shocked and exchanged glances with Xia Ying.

It had been many years since the Heavenly Tao Sect had received such a talented disciple.

"Excellent talent, limitless future!" Li Zhiqing was delighted.

If he was brought back to the sect, the elders in the sect would definitely be happy.

After Xia Ying registered Lin Yue, she asked him to wait by the side for a moment.

In the end, only forty people passed the test.

Li Zhiqing took out a flute and blew it twice. Then, he heard the sound of an eagle.

One. This time, everyone saw clearly that it was a huge white-headed black-feathered eagle.

Spreading its wings, it was a full 30 meters long.

It seemed like Li Zhiqing and Xia Ying also rode on this eagle to come here. However, when the time came, they changed it to flying swords, shocking some of the testers.

Lin Yue and the others sat on the broad back of the eagle, taking off under the envious and jealous gazes of everyone.

This eagle was called the White Head Eagle, a high-level First Order demonic beast. It was usually used as a transportation tool by the sect after training.

Most of them were the first to fly in the sky. They looked at the vast land under their feet and shouted excitedly.

"Be quiet. Don't think that you have entered the Heavenly Tao Sect just because of this. This is just the beginning of the test." Li Zhiqing said coldly, "It's already considered good that half of you are still alive."

Everyone quieted down and began to adjust their breathing.

Four hours later, they arrived at a mountain covered in dense spiritual energy.

Li Zhiqing asked everyone to get off the eagle's back and lead them for an hour before arriving in front of a tall mountain made of white jade.

"So it's Senior Brother Li, Senior Sister Xia, are you the new disciple this time?" The two guarding the gate said with a smile.

Li Zhiqing nodded and led Lin Yue and the others into a tall tower.

"This tower is called Sky-ascending Tower. It has a total of 99 floors. Those who can climb up to the 60th floor and above are qualified. The higher the floor, the stronger their perseverance and patience. The higher the potential, the better. " Li Zhiqing said.

In front of him was talent, but in this stage, it was a test of perseverance.

In the path of cultivation, talent must not be few, but it must also have perseverance that ordinary people could not compare with.

If he wanted to become an inner circle disciple of Heavenly Tao Sect, he must pass the trial of Sky-ascending Tower.

It was said that the proud disciple of the Heavenly Tao Sect, Yu Chenjian, had at most reached the eighty-ninth floor in the past.

In the past hundred years, there had never been a disciple who could reach the 90th floor.

Every time a new disciple tested the Sky-ascending Tower, the elders of the sect would pay attention to him with their divine sense.

Generally speaking, those who could reach the 75th floor would be selected by the elders of the sect. Those who could reach the 80th floor would be accepted as inner sect disciples without any suspense.

The treatment of inner sect disciples was not something that outer sect disciples could compare with.

The elders of the Heavenly Tao Sect were all Void Breaking Stage, and their horizons were very high. Some of them had never recruited disciples for hundreds of years, and some of them had never had any disciples in their entire lives.

In order to cultivate new disciples, the Sect Master wanted to prevent these old fellows from slacking off. According to the rules, as long as someone managed to climb up to the 80th floor of the Sky-ascending Tower, they had to accept him as a disciple.

There weren't many elders in the Heavenly Tao Sect, less than 20 of them. There were also some who were roaming the outside world, and there were only about 10 of them in the sect.

The Sky-ascending Tower's test had always attracted the attention of many people. Every time the test was conducted, there would be many disciples who would come and watch.

It was said that the mysterious Sect Master of the Heavenly Tao Sect would also pay attention to the test in the Sky-ascending Tower.

The Sky-ascending Tower was built by the founding ancestor of the Heavenly Tao Sect. Each level required nine steps to climb, and each step would be harder than the previous one.

The forty rookies came to the front of the Sky-ascending Tower anxiously.

This pagoda was different from ordinary pagodas. There was no inner space, and it was entirely built with black profound stones. Every nine steps, there would be a large platform.

However, the higher one went, the smaller it became. At the top, there was a peak that was similar to a pyramid.

Lin Yue chose one side to climb up. This was a rare opportunity, and he had to give it his all.

Lin Yue easily walked up the first nine steps. He felt that there was nothing different from ordinary steps.

After entering the second step, Lin Yue didn't stop at all. He continued to climb until he reached the tenth step. Only then did he feel a little tired.

According to Lin Yue's current physique, even if he climbed up a thousand-meter high cliff, he would not feel tired.

This Sky-ascending Tower was indeed interesting.

Lin Yue silently climbed up to the 30th floor. His entire body was drenched in sweat. Only then did he understand the power of this pagoda.

The higher he went, the greater the gravity. It was extremely strenuous for him to even lift his feet.1

"Did this Mountain Split Ancestor learn Newton's Law?" Lin Yue muttered in his heart. According to his estimations, these thirty levels were already five times the gravity.

He raised his head to take a look. At present, no one had given up.

Lin Yue looked at Red-clothed Woman. She seemed to be very relaxed in front of him.

He saw the name of this girl on the register. Her name was Mo Qingcheng, Pulse Opening Ninth Layer.

Mo Qingcheng seemed to have sensed Lin Yue's gaze. She glared at him coldly and continued forward.

Although this man's talent was not bad, his white hair made people feel uncomfortable looking at him.

Furthermore, she was in front, exposing her back and perky back to Lin Yue. That glance also had a hint of warning.

Lin Yue was not frightened by her. Instead, he was unbridled and unrestrained. He swept his gaze across her perky butt.

He wasn't in the mood for that right now. It was purely revenge.

"Hmph!" Mo Qingcheng snorted in disgust and quickly climbed up.

Finally, they reached the 40th floor. Finally, someone started to give up. The gravity here was at least 20 times stronger!
