25: Entering the Tianyang Sect

"Hmm? The Heavenly Sun Art? Is it specifically for Cultivating Yang Qi to quickly raise one's Realm?" Jiang Ye suddenly asked, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

"Exactly! The Heavenly Sun Art has seven layers in total. If you can learn it, with your talent, it will surely become your greatest asset," Elder Chen said with a hint of pride in his voice.

"Elder Chen! Everyone knows how difficult it is to Cultivate your Heavenly Sun Art. By letting him join your Tianyang Sect like this, aren't you harming him?" another Sect Elder couldn't help but interject.

Jiang Ye suddenly spoke up, his tone firm: "We've decided. We'll join the Tianyang Sect together!"

"What? All of you together?" Elder Luo panicked instantly and hurriedly advised, "Our Heavenly Dragon Sect also has many top-tier Cultivation Techniques, and they aren't that difficult to Cultivate. They can also help you Breakthrough your Realm quickly."

"The same goes for my Limitless Gate!" Elder Liu of the Limitless Gate also said hurriedly.

"Us too. You're still young; I suggest you go back and ask for your parents' opinion," another Sect Elder chimed in.

Shi Bao waved his hand directly, his tone blunt: "No need to ask. We're joining the Tianyang Sect together."

Elder Luo's face darkened, his tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction: "You... you chose my Heavenly Dragon Sect to come for testing. How can you join another Sect?"

Elder Chen smiled slightly and said in a calm tone, "It doesn't matter where the testing is done. The choice is entirely up to personal freedom. We can't force a few children, can we?"

"But they can't all go to your Tianyang Sect," Elder Luo said unwillingly.

Shi Feng stepped forward, his tone firm: "The three of us are together. We're only going to one place."

Seeing this, Elder Chen pondered for a moment and then proposed, "Alright then! How about this: the Tianyang Sect will take the three of them this time, and in exchange, we won't participate in any New Disciple Selection Tests next year. What do you think?"

After some back and forth, due to the persistence of Jiang Ye and the other two, the other Sects saw no hope of competing and could only let the Tianyang Sect take them away. Elder Chen also gave their Strength-Testing Tablets to the Heavenly Dragon Sect and withdrew from the New Disciple Selection Tests starting today.

Zhou Xuan also followed. Jiang Ye and the others almost forgot about him and hurriedly said to Elder Chen, "Elder Chen, please take him in as well."

Elder Chen glanced at Zhou Xuan, his brow furrowing slightly. "Hmm? Why is his Profound Qi foundation so poor? Wait, that's not right!" He suddenly noticed something, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

"What's wrong? He should be fine if he Cultivates hard," Jiang Ye asked.

Elder Chen shook his head, his tone solemn: "Someone has tampered with his body; otherwise, he wouldn't be at such a Realm. Let's go! Come back with us, and the Sect will help you nurse your body back to health."

Zhou Xuan was overjoyed upon hearing this and hurriedly bowed, "Thank you, thank you, Elder!" He secretly swore in his heart that once he succeeded in his Cultivation in the future, he would definitely eliminate those who had harmed him!

Six hours later, Jiang Ye's group of four returned to the Sect with the people from the Tianyang Sect. Having joined a Sect for the first time, they couldn't help but marvel at the vast and magnificent complex before them.

"Wow! Ye Zai, it's my first time seeing so many people practicing martial arts together," Shi Bao said excitedly.

"Me too!" Shi Feng couldn't help but exclaim.

Elder Chen chuckled, "Hehehe! Let's go. I'll take you to get your Disciple uniforms and arrange a place for you to stay."

"Thank you, Elder Chen!" Jiang Ye nodded in thanks and then asked, "I wonder when we'll be able to practice the Heavenly Sun Art?"

Elder Chen smiled, his tone gentle: "You guys are still far from it! First, start practicing the Sect's Basic Techniques. You can only practice the Heavenly Sun Art once your Realm reaches the Profound Extreme Realm. Even if I gave it to you now, you wouldn't be able to Cultivate it."

Zhou Xuan was a bit disappointed and asked in a low voice, "Then won't it take many years? There probably aren't many Sect Disciples who have reached the Profound Extreme Realm, right?"

The three of them looked at each other, and Shi Feng suddenly asked, "Um... Elder Chen, if we have already reached the Profound Extreme Realm now, can we all practice the Heavenly Sun Art?"

Hearing this, Elder Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hahaha! You're still young. Just focus on building a solid foundation and work hard to Breakthrough to the Profound Extreme Realm first."

However, before his laughter could fade, Shi Feng suddenly erupted with the aura of the Profound Extreme Realm, a powerful wave of Profound Qi instantly sweeping through the surroundings.

Both Zhou Xuan and Elder Chen were shocked! If they hadn't felt it themselves, they would never have believed that a thirteen-year-old child had actually reached the Profound Extreme Realm! One must know that even these Sect Elders were only at the Profound Extreme Realm.
