The next day, when Shu Jianyue arrived at Tianyuan Terrace, there were already quite a few people there.

The disciples of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect stood on the steps, while those who had passed the test were on the Tianyuan Platform, and those who had not passed had been sent down the mountain.

Many people looked at Shu Jianyue strangely when they saw her carrying two children.

After all, no one has ever brought a child into a sect before.

Shu Jianyue calmly walked to the front and stood there, looking up at the sect leader and the grand elder above.

Not many people came out early, so once Shu Jianyue arrived, almost everyone had arrived.

The Grand Elder stepped forward and announced, "First, we will test the spiritual veins. Each elder and peak master will then select disciples suitable for their instruction to take under their wing."

"Today we will select closed-door disciples and registered disciples. Those who are not selected will be automatically classified as outer disciples."

"Don't be discouraged if you're not selected. The sect's annual grand competition can help you get promoted to an inner disciple."

"If one works hard and is noticed by the peak master or elder, it is possible to be promoted to a disciple or a closed disciple."

"The first person to emerge from the Thousand Extremes Illusionary Realm yesterday was Shu Jianyue. You can come up first to have your spiritual veins tested."

Shu Jianyue nodded and stepped forward, placing her hand on the pulse-testing stone in front of her. She infused it with spiritual power, and the pulse-testing stone began to glow, gradually changing from a pale white to a cyan-blue, and finally to purple.

This change immediately caused a stir at the scene.

"A Purple-Grade Spiritual Vein!"

"A purple-grade spiritual vein has appeared on the Eastern Continent."

Shu Jianyue frowned. She had clearly suppressed the purity of the spiritual vein before coming here, so why was it still purple?

The sect leader was so shocked that he stood up from his seat. "Quickly, go and invite the patriarch."

This is a rare purple-grade spiritual vein, a once-in-a-millennium find on the Eastern Continent.

“I see it.” The Supreme Ancestor of the Hunyuan Sect appeared beside him.

Few people at the scene noticed his arrival, except for a few elders and peak masters around the sect leader.

The Grand Elder was stunned for a while before he came to his senses. A purple-grade spiritual vein is not something that just anyone can take in.

When he turned around to ask Yu Yangzi for his opinion, he saw the ancestor standing right beside him, so he immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Ancestor."

The disciples below, regaining their senses, immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Ancestor."

The old patriarch, Gu Yunxiao, looked at Shu Jianyue and asked, "Would you be willing to become my disciple?"

Shu Jianyue heard many people gasp.

What a pleasant surprise!

Looking at the familiar old man above, he scratched his chin and thought, "This is the Supreme Ancestor of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect. Even the Sect Master has to call him Ancestor. If I become his disciple, wouldn't I rise in rank and become the most senior disciple in the Hunyuan Immortal Sect?"

"Ancestor, isn't this against the rules?" Danfeng Peak Master Tian Yi frowned as he looked at Shu Jianyue. If he took her in, wouldn't she become their grandmaster uncle?

A grandmaster uncle who's only sixteen or seventeen?

Gu Yun glanced at him and said calmly, "Does the sect rule prohibit me from accepting disciples? Or do I need your permission to accept disciples?"

Tian Yi immediately knelt down, "This disciple dares not, but how can she, a newcomer to the sect, be appointed as a leader?"

"What, do you think it's shameful to call a young girl your grandmaster?" Gu Yun said with a smile, glancing at Xiang Yuyangzi.

Yu Yangzi immediately replied, "The Ancestor has his own reasons for accepting disciples, and I dare not interfere."

Gu Yunxiao then looked at Tian Yi and said, "How can a cultivator achieve great things if he has such a narrow mind?"

Although his face was serene, there was an underlying pressure that made Tian Yi feel suffocated as he spoke.

Tian Yi gradually bowed, "This disciple knows his mistake, please forgive me, Ancestor."

Gu Yunxiao withdrew his oppressive aura and looked at Shu Jianyue, "Are you willing?"

Shu Jianyue naturally agreed; she wasn't stupid. "Okay, but I have two children, and I have to bring them with me to the sect."

Gu Yun smiled and nodded, "Of course, I like them very much too."

Shu Jianyue raised an eyebrow and knelt down, "Disciple Shu Jianyue greets Master."

"Alright, the apprenticeship ceremony can be held on another day. You come up first." Gu Yun smiled and gently helped Shu Jianyue up from a distance.

Everyone on Tianyuan Terrace looked at her with envy.

He went from being an unknown nobody to becoming the grandmaster of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect in no time. Who wouldn't be envious?

The Grand Elder coughed lightly and continued, "The second one is Gongchengxi."

Gongchengxi breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the vein-measuring stone.

He already knew the grade of his spiritual veins, since it was impossible for a large family not to have a vein-testing stone.

Thinking about family matters, his eyes darkened.

The pulse-testing stone lit up, finally settling on the blue area.

Although there is a purple-grade spiritual vein ahead, blue-grade ones are still very rare in the Eastern Far Continent.

"What an eye-opener today! The first place is purple grade, and the second place is blue grade. Amazing!"

"You know, they're not young anymore, so why did they only enter the Hunyuan Immortal Sect at this age? Such a spiritual lineage has yet to gain any reputation."

"Yes, that girl has a child. Do you think she might be from a powerful family?"

"I've heard of Gongchengxi before. He's a young genius who used to cultivate in his family. I don't know why he suddenly decided to join the Hunyuan Immortal Sect. I don't recognize that girl."

"I know the Gongcheng family. They were a big family before. They even produced a Nascent Soul expert. I just don't know why they suddenly disappeared."

Shu Jianyue looked at Gong Chengxi, somewhat surprised.

The sect leader glanced at the patriarch, and seeing that he didn't move, he stepped forward and asked Gongchengxi, "My sect only has one disciple. Would you like to become my disciple?"

Without thinking, Gong Chengxi knelt down and said, "Disciple Gong Chengxi greets Master."
