249: Arrival at Humanitarian
The station was like a village.
Although simple, it had a strong sense of ceremony, and the Humanity Sect Inner Sect Disciples were all gathered together.
Some were responsible for maintaining order, some for welcoming guests, some for collecting gifts, and they didn't forget to record the gifts from each sect, creating a joyous atmosphere.
In a large open space, many small wooden stools were placed.
The powerhouses from each sect honestly sat on the small wooden stools, their expressions a little awkward.
In their own sects, they were existences that everyone looked up to, but here at the Humanity Sect, they could only sit on small wooden stools.
To be honest, most of them were sitting on one for the first time.
Because those who came last year said they wouldn't come no matter what this year.
Almost everyone had arrived, and the high-ranking officials of the Humanity Sect were a little regretful that the other two great overlords still hadn't come; otherwise, with their wealth and influence, they would definitely have given many gifts.
"Sect Master, it's almost time, we can begin."
The Humanity Sect Sect Master was a middle-aged man, slightly short in stature, wearing a gray robe, with a small mustache on his lip, looking shifty-eyed.
But no one dared to look down on him.
He was the head of one of the three great overlords, a powerhouse at the Human Immortal level, and it was said that he was the foremost person below the True Immortal level.
His name was Dao Kun, and he was respectfully called Immortal Kun.
Dao Kun nodded, coughed dryly, and the Elder beside him immediately understood.
He gave a look to the side.
The next moment...
A crackling sound rang out, and everyone looked to see a string of firecrackers.
Only one string.
The powerhouses from each sect's faces twitched.
This Humanity Sect was truly stingy.
Although the selection of Inner Sect Disciples wasn't that important, and the main purpose was to collect their gifts, wasn't this too perfunctory?
After the firecrackers finished, Dao Kun nodded with satisfaction, stepped forward, and his voice rang out:
"The auspicious time has arrived.
Our Humanity Sect, presenting the fortune of heaven and earth, will select Inner Sect Disciples today.
Those with wealth... cough cough, those with talent, ability, and virtue, may enter the Inner Sect.
Alright.
Now, the selection of Inner Sect Disciples officially begins."
After speaking, he stepped back and whispered to the Elder beside him:
"How many gifts did we receive this year?"
"Hehe, a little more than last year.
We can be a bit more comfortable this year."
"Not bad, not bad."
Dao Kun nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask:
"How many want to pay to enter the Inner Sect?"
"Not many, only a dozen or so.
After all, there aren't many who can afford a million Spirit Stones."
"Tsk, a dozen or so, that's not bad."
Dao Kun sighed, reluctantly accepting this number.
He knew that perhaps some of these dozen were forced to join.
Besides that, the rest were also tricked into coming.
In fact, their Inner Sect Disciples were mainly selected by the Great Elders.
They had already been selected into the Inner Sect.
And the main purpose of this selection was just to receive some gifts.
As for the selection, it was just a bonus.
Perhaps they might really encounter one or two geniuses.
"How will the assessment be this year?
Is there a plan?"
Dao Kun asked.
Hearing this, the Elders looked at each other, exchanging glances.
There was no plan; it was improvised every year.
Seeing their appearance, Dao Kun knew it was the same as previous years.
"Alright then, let's improvise."
At the same time, in the crowd, Chen Changsheng looked at the vast sea of people around him and sighed:
"There really are a lot of people."
"Of course."
The Old Senior grinned and said:
"The Humanity Sect, no matter what, is one of the three great overlords in the Central Domain.
What's more, the Humanity Sect has the most Disciples.
Anyone who joins the Humanity Sect Outer Sect, who doesn't want to be able to enter the Inner Sect?"
"How many spots are there for entering the Inner Sect each year?"
"It's not fixed."
The Old Senior shook his head:
"It depends on the situation.
Sometimes there can be a few hundred, and sometimes there are even only a few."
As he spoke, he tilted his head towards Dao Kun and the others and whispered:
"It depends on their mood."
"So arbitrary?"
Chen Changsheng said in surprise.
The Old Senior smiled.
Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes:
"That...
I suddenly remembered I have something else to do.
Go take the assessment yourself, good luck!"
After speaking, the Old Senior left directly.
...
Qin Jiang and the others had already arrived within the Humanity Sect's territory.
He stood at the Chains of Command entrance.
Looking at the nine celestial horses pulling the Chains of Command, a hint of envy appeared in his eyes.
These celestial horses are truly handsome.
Compared to them, his own Little Xu was a bit lacking.
Ugly.
However, who told him to be nostalgic?
As long as Little Xu breaks through to Great Emperor, he won't change mounts.
Just as he was sighing, Qing Chan walked out of the Chains of Command, stood in front of him, and looked ahead:
"That old fellow from the Humanity Sect is here."
"The Humanity Sect's Ancestor?"
Qin Jiang asked.
Qing Chan nodded.
At the same time, a figure appeared outside the Chains of Command.
It was an Old Senior, holding a chicken leg in his hand.
If Chen Changsheng were here, he would definitely recognize that this Old Senior was none other than the old trickster who had been by his side all along.
"Hehe, Fairy Qing Chan, long time no see."
The Old Senior said happily.
He looked at Qin Jiang strangely, with some surprise in his eyes.
How could such a young fellow stand beside Fairy Qing Chan?
Moreover, looking at their positions, Fairy Qing Chan was actually behind.
Qing Chan glanced at the Old Senior and said indifferently:
"The Humanity Sect's invitation has been delivered to my face, so of course I have to come and show support."
"Then our Humanity Sect is truly honored."
The Old Senior said with a smile.
However, he was complaining inwardly.
He sent invitations every year and they never came, but they came this year.
Furthermore, he could sense the aura of Immortal Dao powerhouses in the Chains of Command.
A full four of them.
Did they come out in full force?
For their Humanity Sect, for a performative Inner Sect Disciple selection, they came out in full force?
What a joke.
This stance, on the contrary, looked like they were going to attack the Humanity Sect.
Thinking of this, he became vigilant in his heart, secretly probing the surroundings.
The Qinglian Divine Palace had acted, could it be that the Endless Holy Land had also come?
"Has the Humanity Sect's Inner Sect Disciple selection started?"
At this moment, Qin Jiang opened his mouth and asked.
Hearing this, the Old Senior looked at Qin Jiang.
Although he was young, he didn't dare to be negligent.
Being able to stand in front of Qing Chan already explained the matter.
"Who is this young friend?"
The Old Senior asked tentatively.
Before Qin Jiang could answer, Qing Chan spoke:
"Your Humanity Sect's intelligence is really lacking.
You don't even recognize Qin Jiang?"
"Qin Jiang?"
The Old Senior frowned slightly and muttered to himself:
"This name seems a little familiar..."
As he spoke, he took a bite of the chicken leg, his eyes lit up, and he slapped his forehead:
"I remember now!
Aren't you the young fellow who killed a Human Immortal at the Tiandan Palace?"
"Young fellow?"
Qing Chan's beautiful eyebrows furrowed, she let out a cold snort, and said discontentedly:
"Old Senior Dao Zhen, show some respect.
He is my husband.
From now on, remember to address him as Young Master Qin."
