Mu Tiantian ran forward and arrived at the most bustling spot. A huge circular platform had been set up in the middle of the road, with only narrow paths on both sides just wide enough for one or two people to pass through.
The people on the stage were performing shows, such as flying on swords, making people disappear, and manipulating objects.
"Our Shadowless Sect focuses on serving its disciples. We don't guarantee that you will ascend to immortality, but we ensure that everyone who comes can learn these basic spells. At the same time, we will allow you to easily convert spiritual energy into your own spiritual power. The Shadowless Sect is recruiting one thousand disciples for a limited time..." Before the woman in white on the stage could finish speaking, she was patted on the shoulder by a man with an ethereal aura next to her.
The man whispered a reminder, "The ship to the Demon Realm can't accommodate all these people."
The woman smiled at the audience and whispered, "Then let's add another boat, otherwise a thousand people won't be enough for those few monsters to eat."
The man hesitated, saying, "Even with another boat, it won't get across in a short time."
The woman said in a low voice, "You still have to add more people to my quota. His Excellency said I have to take at least a thousand people with me. Hurry up and don't delay my recruitment of disciples."
Upon hearing this, the man was able to immediately arrange for another ship to be dispatched.
The woman continued to talk about the benefits of her sect on the stage.
Mu Tiantian stood at the very front of the platform, where the spiritual energy was most abundant.
She tried calling out: "Seventh Commander?"
Qi Tong screamed in agony: "[Oh my god, help!]"
Mu Tiantian: [...Help? Is that your line? You, a system, need someone to save you? Could it be... you were taken away by the World Management Bureau for rework?]
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel worried.
Qitong: [Ugh... I'm going to drown... Help me...]
Mu Tiantian felt increasingly strange: [Drowned? Where are you now?]
The response from the Seventh National Congress has been delayed for a long time.
The woman on stage shouted, "Registration begins now."
The crowd below began to surge onto the stage.
Mu Tiantian was forcefully pushed onto the stage by the crowd and entered through their secret door.
Not far away, Feng Lin was blocked by two people dressed in black.
"Please, Lord Evil Lord, come back to the Underworld with us." The two bowed respectfully.
Feng Lin glanced at the two of them and said calmly, "You two arrived quickly."
"The Divine Realm has sent a High God to find you. If you don't come back with us, I'm afraid..." The two men in black said in unison, but didn't finish their sentence.
But the meaning is quite clear.
Feng Lin chuckled lightly, "Do you think you have the ability to capture me and take me back?"
"We are only asking you to return. Lady Ghost Princess has given a death order. If we cannot bring you back, we will not be able to return to the Underworld either." The two of them remained bowed and never straightened up.
He looked up at the platform set up by the Shadowless Sect in front of him and asked the two men, "Which sect is the Shadowless Sect that's recruiting disciples up ahead? Once you find out, I'll consider going back with you."
Upon hearing this, the two turned to look at the platform, where a woman shouted, "We have enough people to recruit disciples. Those who still want to apply will have to wait until next year. We'll take our leave now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the huge platform vanished without a trace.
"We will definitely find out the truth..." The man wearing a black headband didn't finish his sentence.
The man next to him, wearing a white headband, nudged him with his elbow. "You Ning, the person has run away."
You Ning sighed, "What should we do, You Hai?"
Youhai glanced at the spot where the platform had disappeared. "What else can we do? We can only follow orders and investigate the Shadowless Sect. At least if we meet again, we can tell you something if he asks us. If Lord Evil Lord really comes back with us, then everyone will be happy."
I think it's unlikely...
...
Mu Tiantian was jostled by the crowd. She glanced around but didn't see the familiar white figure, only a sea of people.
Moreover, the location suddenly changed from the middle of the street to the coast.
The bright moonlight allowed her to barely see what was ahead.
The woman in white who had just recruited disciples was now standing on a large ship, with everyone lining up to board.
"Is this Shadowless Sect... reliable? I've never heard of this sect before."
"Of course it's the newly established sect. A relative of mine had a child who successfully ascended to immortality after joining this sect."
"Really?"
“I saw the child come back, how could that be fake? The spiritual energy on that child, tsk tsk, is something that we mortals can’t compare to.”
Listening to the discussions around her, Mu Tiantian recalled the behavior of those so-called "Shadowless Sect" cultivators on the stage earlier, and it all seemed like a pyramid scheme.
Even without spiritual roots, they have ways to help their disciples develop spiritual roots for cultivation and then ascend to immortality.
Is this how cultivation sects recruit students?
Just as Mu Tiantian was wondering, Qi Tong's voice suddenly appeared in her mind.
Qi Tong: [That scared me to death! I thought I was going to die.]
Mu Tiantian: [What's wrong with you? What's going on with this world? Didn't you say it was a D-level world? But there are... six domains and twelve realms here, which is equivalent to six realms, right? This must be at least an A-level world or higher. And it even includes the modern world and prehistoric species. Do you know I almost got eaten by a saber-toothed tiger?]
Seven: [I don't know what happened either. When I teleported you, there was a spatial tremor, and I lost consciousness. When I came to, I was possessed by an animal. I don't know who kicked me and I fell into the water. I just got ashore, and I don't even know what animal I'm possessing. And the moon above my head is green... Holy crap...]
Hearing Qi Tong's exclamation, Mu Tiantian quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Seven: [Oh my god... have you ever seen a black panther with five heads...? Ah! It's chasing me, and it's drooling! Come save me!]
Mu Tiantian was also getting anxious: [Tell me where you are first!]
Seven: [I really...don't...know, save...]
Another burst of electrical interference.
Mu Tiantian: [Seven Unifications?!]
The voice of the Seven Commanders was completely silenced.
"Miss?" The woman in white called out to Mu Tiantian, who was the only one who hadn't boarded the boat yet. "If you don't get on board soon, the boat will leave."
Mu Tiantian glanced at the heavy bottom of the boat, wishing it were about to be submerged in water.
"Won't it sink with so many people?" Mu Tiantian asked.
The woman said enthusiastically, "A new ship will be coming soon. It will definitely not sink. Miss, I can tell you don't seem to have any spiritual roots. Don't worry, as long as you join our sect, we can help you develop high-quality spiritual roots. As long as you cultivate diligently, you will definitely ascend to immortality."
The more Mu Tiantian listened, the more it sounded like a pyramid scheme. After thinking for a moment, she asked again, "Have you ever seen a black panther with five heads?"
"You mean the five-headed demonic leopard?" The woman became wary. "Why are you asking that?"
How could an ordinary mortal from the Mortal Realm know about magical beasts?
"I heard about it. It's something like a spirit beast or a divine beast. I'm just curious, does our sect have such a spirit beast?" Mu Tiantian asked sincerely with innocent eyes.
The woman raised an eyebrow slightly and smiled amiably, “Of course, every disciple who advances in cultivation can choose their own spirit beast. The higher the level of spiritual power, the more likely they are to choose a celestial beast or even a divine beast.”
Now Mu Tiantian was certain: the so-called "Shadowless Sect" was nothing but a complete sham.
Who knows where they'll take these people?
She said it was a five-headed demonic leopard, which sounded like the name of a magical beast. She said that the Seven Commanders were very likely in the Demon Realm.
She decided to follow them first, and then decide whether to escape depending on the situation.
Mu Tiantian boarded the boat and asked the woman with a look of surprise, "Can I really choose my own spirit beast?"
The woman smiled and said, "Of course."
Another one tricked. To be honest, this young lady is quite pretty. The Ghost Princess instructed us to find a few more girls for the Venerable One, human, demon, or ghost cultivator, as long as they are female, so that the old bachelor who has lived for 100,000 years can find a partner.
This is something we can show to His Majesty. Thinking of this, the woman's smile became even more obsequious towards Mu Tiantian, and she pulled her onto the boat.
at the same time.
Above the sea, a white figure sat atop a long sword, his strange eyes observing the situation on the ship through the white veil in front of him.
