Chapter 403 I Established a Sect in the Cultivation World (32)
The other two sects who came to gather information remained silent and did not dare to cause trouble.
"You two, hurry back to the sect and report! Tell the sect leader what happened today, we need to reassess the strength of the Xuantian Sect."
"Quickly! Tell the sect leader that the Xuantian Sect can kill enemies beyond their level."
The assessment continued, but the atmosphere was completely different.
Every cultivator who embarks on the Path of Inquiry puts away all frivolity, their expressions becoming solemn and cautious.
Looking at the bustling scene before him, Zhou Jue realized that Zhao Sizhe and Cheng Gan had not only established their authority but also conducted a highly successful recruitment campaign.
She didn't rush forward, but simply observed quietly.
She noticed that Cheng Gan, on the platform, would occasionally glance at the crowd, as if searching for something.
Zhao Sizhe, meanwhile, was holding a jade slip and quickly recording something.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
After another incense stick's time, two more people struggled to pass through the Path of Inquiry.
Although the assessment progressed slowly, every successful candidate brought joy and excitement to the disciples of the Xuantian Sect.
Just then, a young man in line in front of Zhou Jue whispered to his companion.
"Hey, do you think if we could join the Xuantian Sect, we could learn that move from earlier?"
His companion lowered his voice and answered excitedly, "Need you even ask? Didn't you see it? That strange fire poker is an absolutely incredible magical artifact! One hit and it crippled a Nascent Soul cultivator! It's too powerful!"
"A fire poker?" Zhou Jue raised an eyebrow when he heard this word.
"Yes, fellow Daoist, didn't you see it just now? Actually, the magical artifacts sold by Xuantian Pavilion are quite good, but not as powerful as the one just now. I wonder if, if I join a sect, the sect might be able to provide me with such a magical artifact."
The young man became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he already possessed these magical artifacts.
"This Xuantian Sect is practically tailor-made for us rogue cultivators! As long as we can get in, one day we too can crush those Nascent Soul cultivators from those big sects who look down on us!"
Listening to their conversation, Zhou Jue realized that the guys from the Weapon Refining Hall had copied quite a few magical artifacts from Blue Star mythology.
She looked up at Cheng Gan on the high platform.
Cheng Gan happened to be looking in this direction at that moment, and their eyes met in the air.
In an instant, all the expressions on Cheng Gan's face froze, and Zhao Sizhe beside her sensed that something was wrong.
"What's wrong?"
Cheng Gan did not answer; her eyes were fixed on the blue figure at the back of the crowd, and her body was even trembling slightly.
Zhao Sizhe followed her gaze, and when he saw that face that was both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar, the jade slip in his hand fell to the ground with a "thud".
"Zong...sect master?"
He almost subconsciously used his divine sense to transmit his voice to Cheng Gan.
"It's her! It's the sect leader!" Cheng Gan's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement.
Two years of worries and two years of speculation have all come true at this moment.
The sect leader is back!
Zhao Sizhe took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He quickly picked up the jade slip and transmitted his voice to Cheng Gan: "Don't make a sound! There are too many people around now. Since the sect leader hasn't shown himself, we can't reveal his identity!"
Cheng Gan also realized what was happening. She nodded and sat up straight again, but her eyes could no longer leave Zhou Jue.
Zhou Jue nodded slightly to them as a greeting, then turned to the two young men next to her who were still excitedly discussing something.
"Fellow Daoists, I have some urgent business to attend to. Could you let us go first?"
The two young men initially wanted to refuse, but when they turned around and saw Zhou Jue's face, they were both stunned.
They couldn't explain why, but they felt that the female cultivator in front of them had an aura that was impossible to refuse.
"Uh... okay, alright, please go ahead, fairy."
"Thanks."
Zhou Jue thanked him and walked forward, followed by a man and a woman.
Instead of taking the Path of Inquiry, she walked straight towards the light screen of the mountain-protecting formation, an action that immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"What is this female cultivator trying to do?"
"Is she crazy? Trying to force her way through the formation?"
"Didn't she see what happened to that Nascent Soul cultivator from the Iron Sword Sect?"
Li Ming and the others on the high platform also frowned, not understanding what this female cultivator who suddenly cut in line was trying to do.
Zhou Jue walked to the light screen, reached out her hand, and gently pressed it on the flowing light screen.
Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, the seemingly indestructible mountain-protecting formation, which even a Nascent Soul cultivator's full-force attack could not shake, rippled outwards like water.
A door, just big enough for one person to pass through, appeared silently in front of her. Zhou Jue and the two people beside him stepped inside one after another. After they went in, the door closed instantly, and the light curtain returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
The entire venue fell silent.
All the cultivators who came to participate in the assessment looked at the three disappearing figures with the eyes of someone looking at gods.
What's going on?
Who are they?
Why were they able to pass directly through the protective mountain formation?
"They should be... disciples of the Xuantian Sect, right?"
"Of course! Otherwise, how would they have gotten in?"
"envious......"
On the high platform, apart from Zhao Sizhe and Cheng Gan, the other Nascent Soul elders were all shocked and stood up.
"Who...who is she?" Li Ming muttered to himself, "No, the two people behind her are...Chen Mo and Lin Qingqian, could she be the sect leader?! The sect leader has returned?!"
The next second, the three figures appeared on the high platform. She stood in front of Zhao Sizhe and Cheng Gan, looking at these old subordinates who had grown into pillars of the sect.
"It's been two years, everyone's doing a great job."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of every Xuantian Sect disciple present.
"metropolitan!"
"It's the sect leader's voice!"
"The sect leader is back!"
Upon hearing this voice, all the disciples of the Xuantian Sect stood up excitedly.
The way they looked at Zhou Jue was filled with fanatical worship.
Cheng Gan could no longer control her emotions. She quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply to Zhou Jue.
"Sect Master, you're finally back!"
As soon as she bowed, all the Xuan Tian Sect disciples on the high platform knelt on one knee and shouted in unison.
"Welcome back, Sect Master!"
The voices were perfectly synchronized and resounded through the sky.
Outside the mountain gate, the thousands of cultivators who were still in a daze were completely dumbfounded when they heard the grand "Welcome back, Sect Master!"
That female cultivator... is she the sect leader of the Xuantian Sect?!
Not a disciple, but the sect leader?
The sect leader of that sect who could severely injure a Nascent Soul cultivator in one move?
What level of cultivation does she need? At least late Nascent Soul stage, right? Maybe even a Deity Transformation Ancestor!
All the information exploded in their minds. They looked at the blue figure on the high platform, their eyes filled with nothing but endless shock and awe.
"Alright, get up, everyone."
Zhou Jue raised his hand, and a gentle force lifted everyone up.
"The assessment will continue. Don't let me disrupt the established procedures."
"Yes, Sect Master!" Zhao Sizhe replied excitedly.
Zhao Sizhe and Cheng Gan suppressed their excitement and addressed the cultivators outside the mountain, saying loudly:
"The assessment continues!"
