11: How dare Xiao Chen be so immoral!

The Ancient Immortal Realm is vast and boundless.

Among it, forbidden zones and dangerous lands occupy ninety percent, making it unsuitable for living beings to reside.

However, even though only ten percent is habitable, it is enough to accommodate the myriad races of the Ancient Immortal Realm.

That ten percent of land is divided into nine domains.

A single domain is incredibly vast; without relying on teleportation arrays, an ordinary Cultivator would find it difficult to cross one in their entire lifetime.

The location of the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect is in one of the most prosperous regions among the nine domains—

The Canglan Domain.

As one of the Six Great Immortal Sects of the current age, the Mountain-Opening Ceremony held every five years is a grand event that draws the attention of the entire Canglan cultivation world.

From great dynasties and aristocratic families to reclusive Loose Cultivators, everyone wants to send their young Juniors into the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect.

However, during each Mountain-Opening Ceremony, the number of Disciples recruited by the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect never exceeds twenty.

Yet, those who reach the foot of the mountain and obtain the qualification for the assessment probably number in the tens of thousands... On average, only one out of several thousand Geniuses can enter the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect. The difficulty is imaginable... Mu Tian City.

A city directly under the jurisdiction of the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect located ten thousand miles away. Cultivators participating in the entry assessment will first gather here to receive their exclusive jade plaques.

Qin Tian scanned the vast sea of heads, feeling a long-lost sense of suffocation from the dense crowd.

“System, where are the Villains you mentioned?”

【Searching, please wait, Host.】

In the early morning, the System suddenly pinged, saying it had discovered two more Villains right here in Mu Tian City.

Based on the principle that having more teammates makes things easier, Qin Tian came directly.

As fellow Villains, he had to properly encourage (instigate) them to go find trouble for Xiao Chen... “I just don't know if borrowing someone else's hand can earn fate reversal points...”

As Qin Tian was pondering, a voice suddenly rang out by his ear.

“This Fellow Daoist, you must also be here for the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect assessment, right?”

Qin Tian was startled. The speaker was a grey-clad servant not far from his side, dressed plainly and completely inconspicuous.

“Would Fellow Daoist like to be one step ahead of the rest?”

“I have this year's assessment questions here. For only five thousand Spirit Stones, you can take a huge lead over the others!”

“You have the exam questions?” Qin Tian was greatly surprised.

“Are they authentic?”

“Of course! The name ‘Divine Hand Zhang Qing’ is known to everyone in Mu Tian City!”

“Oh?”

【Name: Zhang Qing

Realm: Grotto-Heaven Realm

dao seed: Black Dragon Attraction (Mystic Grade)

Special: Divine Hand of Theft

】

【Divine Hand of Theft: Theft is guaranteed to succeed against targets in a lower Realm.】

Interesting... The corners of Qin Tian's lips curled up as he tossed out a High-Grade Spirit Stone.

“Let me see those exam questions.”

Zhang Qing's eyes lit up!

A High-Grade Spirit Stone!

A single one was worth ten thousand ordinary Spirit Stones!

More importantly, the person in front of him tossed it out casually, as if he didn't care at all... This family background must be extraordinary!

Ignoring Zhang Qing's expression, Qin Tian took the exam questions and glanced at them.

“It looks quite convincing.”

With a slight stir of his Divine Thought, he added a few lines of text into the Jade Slip... “Take it.”

Zhang Qing was stunned. “Fellow Daoist, you don't want it?”

“You can't do this; once the goods are sold, there are no returns or exchanges!”

“Don't worry, since I've already seen it, I naturally won't take back the Spirit Stone.”

Zhang Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

“However, you must help me deliver this Jade Slip to someone. After it's done, I'll give you another High-Grade Spirit Stone...”

Zhang Qing: “?”

...At the Mu Tian City square, Xiao Chen was in high spirits and full of confidence.

“The Dao Seeking Immortal Sect's Mountain-Opening Ceremony is finally about to begin... As long as I enter the sect today, the Great Qian Empress will not dare to hunt me down openly. I will also have enough time to grow, and then I will thoroughly trample her!”

“Divine Firmament Peak, the number one Spiritual Root, and even the entire Dao Seeking Immortal Sect will all be under my, Xiao Chen's, control!”

“Hahahahaha!”

He laughed wildly in his heart.

Suddenly.

A figure flashed past him.

“Who?!”

Xiao Chen was instantly alert. Ever since he was struck by lightning for no reason, his nerves had become extremely sensitive.

“Someone stuffed something into your robes,” the remnant soul within the heaven swallowing seed spoke silently.

“Hmm?” Xiao Chen was slightly stunned and looked into his robes.

It was an exquisite Jade Slip.

“What is this?”

As his Divine Thought probed into it, Xiao Chen’s body shook!

“The questions for the entry assessment!!!”

Wild joy appeared on his face!

“Hahaha, This Young Master is indeed the chosen one of destiny. Someone actually delivered the most needed item out of thin air!”

“With this, I won't even need to reveal any of my trump cards to easily take first place...”

...On a tall building in the distance, Qin Tian looked at Xiao Chen, a smile appearing on his lips.

【Host, I found them.】

Following the System's guidance, Qin Tian locked onto two people in the crowd.

【Name: Mu Changfeng

Realm: Grotto-Heaven Realm

dao seed: Mu King Blade (Mystic Grade)

Special: Cannon fodder subordinate of the Great Villain

】

【Name: Lin Sanyue

Realm: Grotto-Heaven Realm

dao seed: Frozen Moon Spear (Mystic Grade)

Special: Cannon fodder subordinate of the Great Villain

】

“Who is the Great Villain?”

【The Great Qian Empress, You Ruoli.】

“Great Qian?” Qin Tian pondered. “It seems to be a Dynasty in the Canglan Domain, apparently very powerful.”

“But what's with this Empress?”

“Sending two Grotto-Heaven Realms here, are they rushing to deliver experience points?”

“Doesn't she know that for a protagonist, killing enemies across Realms is a common occurrence?”

Qin Tian shook his head.

Stupid teammates!

He had to find an opportunity to give her some good pointers!

Otherwise, this Xiao Chen would eventually be fed until he was full by the Great Qian Empress... "Xiao Chen has the questions for the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect entry assessment in his hands."

In the crowd, Mu Changfeng’s body shook!

“Who is sending a voice transmission?!”

He suddenly looked around, but it was impossible to distinguish anyone in the vast sea of heads.

“What's wrong?” Lin Sanyue asked in a low voice.

Mu Changfeng quickly explained.

“What did you say?!”

“Don't get excited! We don't know if this news is true or false yet!”

Lin Sanyue shook her head. “No, the news must be true. This kind of specific news would be meaningless if it were false.”

“This person sent you a voice transmission, so they must know our identities and the mission we were ordered to carry out to kill Xiao Chen.”

“How is that possible? We are on a secret mission!” Mu Changfeng's face was full of disbelief.

“I guess, without a doubt, this person must have a connection with Her Majesty the Empress, and Her Majesty personally entrusted him to help us.”

“Xiao Chen has the assessment questions on him. As long as we inform the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect, his qualification for the assessment can be cancelled.”

“At that time, if Xiao Chen cannot enter the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect and has no backer, wouldn't killing a Dao Entry Realm like him be easy?”

Mu Changfeng realized, “That makes sense.”

Immediately, Lin Sanyue squeezed through the crowd and approached the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect Disciple responsible for coordination.

Qin Tian watched the two of them move, a satisfied smile curling on his lips.

“These two aren't stupid after all.”

“Hopefully, Xiao Chen's qualification can be successfully cancelled...”

...Not long after, a sky-shaking voice rang out in Mu Tian City.

“Where is Xiao Chen?”

On the square, Xiao Chen was stunned.

“Looking for me?”

“Could it be that the Elder of Lingxiu Peak sent word?”

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen felt a surge of joy.

“As expected, no woman can resist my charm!”

He stepped forward openly and said loudly:

“Junior Xiao Chen is here!”

A Divine Thought came from within the city, scanning Xiao Chen thoroughly.

Then, a Jade Slip slowly floated up from Xiao Chen's person.

While everyone was somewhat confused, they heard a booming, angry voice.

“Hmph!”

“How bold, Xiao Chen! To think your character is this corrupt!”

“To dare to steal the entry assessment questions, using deception and showing no bottom line!”

“This Seat announces that your qualification for the entry assessment is cancelled!”

Buzz—!

Xiao Chen was completely dumbfounded...
