568: Sect Trials, Disciple Recruitment Ceremony

Yun Mo's expression was extremely solemn, but he quickly put these thoughts aside. These things were actually not important anymore. Su Chen was just like the Grand Elder; they both had their own secrets.

It was best not to pry into other people's secrets. He understood this basic rule, so whether it was Su Chen or the Grand Elder, he would not ask.

The three members of the Bloodthirsty Divine Sect were slain, and the crisis was resolved. However, the Disciples were not tight-lipped, and the matter quickly spread, creating a huge influence in the surrounding area.

Originally, the Haoran Sect, the Jinyang Sect, and the Yanyue Sect were equals, with the Haoran Sect perhaps having a slight edge.

But now that this matter had spread, many people were skeptical at first, but with so much evidence placed before them, everyone had to accept the fact.

Thus, the prestige of the Haoran Sect became unstoppable.

The number of people for the Disciple recruitment assembly in a few days had instantly surged by nearly ten times.

There was a fundamental difference between a force at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal level and one with an Immortal King. If one could join the Haoran Sect, their future would be bright!

A force with an Immortal King powerhouse was rare, even when looking across the entire Nine Star Empire.

On Qiudao Peak.

Su Chen looked down, casually unleashed two spatial slashes, and then lay back down, his face full of enjoyment.

...

The day for recruiting Disciples arrived quickly.

The area in front of the Haoran Sect was packed with people preparing to become Disciples, far more than expected.

In the past few days, the Haoran Sect had adjusted the entrance trial, and even Su Chen had joined in. He found doing these things quite interesting sometimes.

Perhaps it was a matter of mindset; thinking about the extremely long time he had to wait in the future, Su Chen wanted to try many things, just for fun.

In front of the Haoran Sect.

Su Chen was wearing Elder robes and sitting in a room. Inside, there was a table and two chairs. Su Chen was sitting on one side, and on the other side were those Disciples who wanted to enter the Sect.

Su Chen looked at the person in front of him with a serious expression: "Why do you want to join the Haoran Sect?"

The person who was asked answered without hesitation.

"Reporting to the Elder, I am doing this to improve my cultivation and to become a titan of the myriad worlds in the future."

Su Chen nodded. The Disciple thought there was a chance, only to hear: "Alright, you can go now."

He immediately slumped, his face full of unwillingness. Although he didn't understand why he was eliminated just like that, this was the Haoran Sect, and he dared not ask.

"Next."

Su Chen called out again, and someone immediately walked in.

The person was petite, with a youthful face, and quite good-looking; she could be considered a delicate beauty.

After seeing the scene inside, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned. This was completely different from how other Sects recruited Disciples.

Other Sects did not have this process.

"This young woman, Jiang Xiaowan, greets the Elder."

Su Chen gestured for her to sit down, then asked the same question: "Why do you want to join the Haoran Sect?"

Jiang Xiaowan was slightly stunned, not quite understanding why he asked this question. Her eyes rolled, and she immediately replied: "For cultivation."

On this point, she did not lie but sincerely stated the answer from her heart.

Su Chen asked again: "Then why do you cultivate?"

Jiang Xiaowan thought for a moment, then said with a solemn expression: "To serve the Sect. The Sect cultivates us, and once I achieve success in my cultivation in the future, I will naturally add bricks and tiles to the Sect!"

Su Chen waved his hand: "Go down. You are eliminated."

In fact, Su Chen asking these questions was basically useless. He could see their Heart-Nature, Luck, and Karma at a glance; asking questions was just a formality.

The Haoran Sect's model was different from other Sects, so it naturally could not recruit Disciples indiscriminately. Their Heart-Nature had to be very good; otherwise, they would not be accepted. Secondly, if their Luck was too poor or their Comprehension Ability was too poor, that wouldn't do either.

They had to follow the elite route.

Jiang Xiaowan's face immediately turned bitter, and her lips began to tremble. Her eyes red, she took two steps forward: "Elder, I don't know where Xiaowan has failed to satisfy you? As long as the Elder agrees to let me enter the Haoran Sect, Xiaowan can agree to anything the Elder wants."

Jiang Xiaowan looked somewhat pitiful and a bit anxious; she wanted to enter the Haoran Sect too much.

As she spoke, her hands began to undo her clothing. As long as Su Chen agreed, she could even give herself to him immediately. Being able to give herself to an Elder, she wouldn't be at a loss; furthermore, she would have a backer within the Haoran Sect in the future.

Although a maiden's first time was very important, compared to the benefits she would gain, it was not worth mentioning.

Su Chen looked at her. It had to be said that this girl had a somewhat youthful appearance, and being only eighteen or nineteen, she was truly irresistible to those with specific fetishes.

But what kind of person was he? Using this to test a cadre? Which cadre couldn't withstand such a test?

Su Chen looked coldly at Jiang Xiaowan. The latter felt her hair stand on end, dared not offend him further, and hurriedly left.

"Next."

"Next..."

"I'll ask you a question."

"Elder, please speak."

"Forget it, you are eliminated."

Su Chen spent nearly three hours examining them. In the end, only eleven people passed, while nearly three thousand were eliminated.

"What is your name?"

"Wang Erniu."

"The name doesn't sound good, next."

"What does your family do?"

"A waiter at a restaurant."

"Next."

Su Chen asked some questions extremely casually. If he didn't like the person, no matter what they answered, he would just say "next".

On Tianran Peak.

Yun Mo and the other Elders looked at each other. The Third Elder couldn't help but ask: "Sect Head, is this really okay?"

Yun Mo glanced at him and then said: "Why don't you go and offer some suggestions?"

The Third Elder immediately looked confused: "Did I just say something? I shouldn't have spoken, right?"

He looked at the other Elders around him, his face full of innocence, as if he really hadn't spoken just now.

Yun Mo glared at him.

Su Chen's status in the Haoran Sect was now extraordinary. Primarily, they did not want to ruin Su Chen's goodwill toward the Haoran Sect. The other Elders had been in the Haoran Sect for a long time, but Su Chen was different; he hadn't been in the Haoran Sect for long, and his attachment certainly wasn't that deep.

Provoking Su Chen's displeasure at this time would certainly be bad.

Yun Mo withdrew his gaze and looked at the Haoran Sect's plaza: "However, this Elder Su really has some ability. I'm afraid asking questions is just a formality. I don't know if you have noticed, but basically, the people he screened have all passed the other subsequent trials."

The Elders finally realized this.

That's right! They really hadn't noticed this point.
