Inside the gate, the spiritual pavilions were shining brightly. The immortals coming in and out were wearing wide embroidered robes, and their feet were not stained with any dust or mud. They looked indescribably free and easy.
Outside the door, there was a group of young people looking forward to going in.
Chen Sheng was one of the young men, but what he saw at that moment was no immortals or pavilions.
What he saw was a cruel world of cultivation.
One by one, the immortal cultivators fought each other for a tiny bit of resources and fell in the secret realm.
Even those who succeed by chance will be eliminated one after another under the baptism of time.
The fruit of immortality? However, it is just the fantasy of a group of people who are afraid of death.
When this thought arises, even the most determined person will feel frustrated and want to give up.
Mr. Chen was an exception. He immediately got rid of this delusion.
Then……
He saw the elegance of the immortal cultivation sect, with its pavilions and towers, immortals flying around, examiners testing the admission criteria, and a group of candidates like him.
However, this group of candidates were trapped in the illusion, their minds were in turmoil, and they had not yet broken free.
"The Illusion Heart Formation tests one's Dao heart. The more resolute a person's Dao heart is, the less likely they are to be affected."
Chen Sheng was the first person to escape from the Illusionary Heart Array, but his Tao determination was not so strong that it could not be shaken. Instead, he was an immortal who was not afraid of the ruthlessness and cruelty on the path of cultivation.
Immortality, this is his golden finger.
In his previous life, he was a white-collar worker. The only way for him to relax after get off work was to play a "cultivation and development" game, which rarely involved fighting and killing. It simulated an immortal cultivator and his understanding of life during the long process of cultivation.
After traveling through time, he truly possessed the characteristics of immortality.
After some effort, he found the Guangxiu Immortal Sect and began the entry examination.
The second person to wake up in the Illusion Array was someone Chen Sheng knew.
Later, he stopped paying attention to others.
After three sticks of incense.
The assessment of the Illusionary Heart Array is over.
The entire process of recruiting disciples for the immortal sect also came to an end.
"Those whose names are read out will be disciples of my Guangxiu Xianzong from now on."
The outer sect elder Fu Yunzi glanced at the final list, and when he was almost at the end, he picked up the red pen, ticked a name, and changed the fate of a mortal.
"Inner sect disciple, Chen Ergou."
"Inner sect disciple, Wu Taisheng."
"Inner sect disciple, Liu Shao."
"Inner sect disciple Zhao Tianyang."
"Outer disciple Li Baibai."
"Outer disciple Liu Chen."
…
"Outer sect disciple Chen Sheng."
After calling the names of more than a dozen people, Fu Yunzi's voice stopped. The young men whose names were not called looked ashen, knowing that their fate would be different from now on.
One became an immortal, the other a mortal. Decades later, the former was immune to cold and heat, while the latter had become a pile of bones.
"I don't accept it."
"A useless cultivator, the son of a lowly farmer, can actually enter the immortal gate, while I, the son of a wealthy man, am turned away."
There were some young dandies who couldn't accept it and protested loudly, saying that after spending so much manpower and resources, they still failed the exam.
However, these two poor people with no power or influence are ranked among the immortals.
What is this for? It would be great to recruit him. He will have enough money and will be much better than two white men.
"Evict."
Fushengzi took a look at the noisy young men below, knew their nature, and waved his hand lightly, asking his disciples to fight them off, with an indescribable calmness.
There is no explanation, and no need for explanation.
This made the young men who failed the exam feel powerless. Many of them had this attitude before, except that they were full of high spirits.
When the status of both parties is too different, they are unwilling to say even one more word.
"Brother Sheng, we are so lucky that we actually entered the Immortal Gate."
The person involved, Chen Ergou, was so frightened by the interruption that he broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, the immortal old man was a good man and did not drive him out.
In fact, he felt that what the young dandy said made sense.
If we keep him, the most he can do is chop wood for the Immortal Sect and hunt pheasants, which can be exchanged for money, but he is not worth much.
But if a young dandy boy is allowed to join the immortal sect, his father can easily take out dozens of gold. Even if there are a hundred of him, they can't earn that much money.
Maybe, the master of the Immortal Sect is not good at settling accounts.
"It's not easy to get into the Immortal Sect, but Ergou, you'll be fine."
The Immortal Sect’s assessment is divided into three aspects.
Qualifications.
Insight.
Tao heart.
Chen Sheng's aptitude and comprehension are both of average quality, but his heart of Taoism is the best, so he has to enter the immortal gate to see if he can rise up and be released.
Chen Ergou is much more powerful. The three of them are all top-notch. This is the kind of people Xianmiao is talking about.
If the top leaders of Guangxiu Xianzong hadn't been stupid, Chen Ergou would have taken off.
"I have no problem. Brother Sheng, you have no problem either. You are so smart and know so much."
Hearing Chen Sheng's confident words, the tension in Chen Ergou's heart suddenly relaxed.
He was actually a little scared, thinking that what he had in front of him was too empty and fake.
He failed to catch the pheasant, but he met Chen Sheng, the eldest brother of his clan, who was looking for something called the Ascension Order.
later.
He followed Chen Sheng, managed to have enough food and clothing, and actually found the treasure, digging out two orders of ascension to immortality.
With this, the two came to the Guangxiu Immortal Sect, participated in the Ascension Conference, and were successfully selected.
"Er Gou, since you call me Brother Sheng, I will have a heart-to-heart talk with you again."
Seeing that Chen Ergou was still in a daze, Chen Sheng called him Brother Sheng again, and he said something from his heart, "Before the great way, all beings are equal. There is no need to feel inferior, but don't be arrogant and don't lose your original heart."
Chen Ergou is no longer the same as before. He is a treasure in the eyes of the top leaders of Guangxiu Xianzong, and his rapid rise to fame is inevitable.
but……
When you suddenly gain power, your mentality will definitely be unbalanced.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
He knew that many people gradually lost themselves in the pursuit of popularity.
I only hope that Chen Ergou can stick to his original intention, make progress courageously, and eventually become a great master of the immortal way.
"Brother Sheng, you make it sound very complicated."
Chen Ergou was confused and obviously didn't understand. He just felt that Shengge's words were too confusing.
At this very moment.
"My name is Wu Taisheng, nice to meet you, fellow Taoist."
A handsome young man, with a faint smile on his face, walked up to Chen Ergou in a well-mannered manner.
"The eldest prince? I have met him..."
Chen Ergou felt inferior.
He knew this man; he was the eldest prince of the Shangwu Kingdom. When he arrived, he was riding in a magnificent chariot, like an immortal from heaven descending to earth. He only took one look at him, then lowered his head in shame, not daring to look again.
Now that this kind of person came over and talked to him, he felt very weak and had no confidence.
"Fellow Daoist, please don't be like this. As fellow disciples, we should communicate more in the future."
Wu Taisheng, however, behaved very kindly, and was eager to become friends with Chen Ergou. His enthusiasm was definitely not fake.
"Well said."
The sound of a flowing spring came from the side.
She was a simple, elegant and calm girl, wearing a plain long dress, with fair skin, like a god in the clouds. She took three or two steps and floated in front of Chen Ergou.
"Hello, fellow Taoist."
The elegant girl spoke slowly and gracefully.
"Miss Liu Shao!"
Chen Ergou's pupils shrank slightly, his face turned red and felt a little hot.
This was the first time he was so close to a woman, and a woman so beautiful and noble.
Liu Shao came from a noble family that had been passed down for hundreds of years. Her knowledge of etiquette was almost ingrained in her bones. She was absolutely a noble lady from a prominent family.
He was very lucky to have met such a person.
Then……
"snort!"
The fourth inner disciple appeared.
He was a famous young hero in the martial arts world, who enjoyed taking revenge and repaying kindness, so he despised Chen Ergou's inherent humility and also looked down on the social skills of princes and ladies.
They all practiced Taoism.
It also brings the mundane vulgarity into the immortal world.
For this reason alone, he was unwilling to make friends with Chen Ergou and the other two. He snorted coldly and left.
"You guys talk, I'm leaving first."
Mr. Chen also left.
Obviously, this is a high-end game for inner disciples.
Wu Taisheng and Liu Shao did not try to persuade him to stay, but just nodded slightly.
Chen Ergou wanted Chen Sheng to stay, but he couldn't think of any topic to persuade him to stay. His hand, which had been extended halfway, fell down weakly and he grabbed the corner of his clothes, feeling very helpless.
What kind of people are Wu Taisheng and Liu Shao? They have been immersed in the game of power since childhood. Reading people's words and expressions is a basic skill for them. With just a few words, they brought Chen Ergou out of his confusion.
With the deliberate guidance of the two, Chen Ergou gradually relaxed and the atmosphere became very harmonious.
The three of them talked for a long time. Chen Ergou didn't remember anything. He just knew that it felt great to be praised so highly. No one looked down on him, only positive comments.
Moreover, the people he made friends with were important figures whom he had never met before.
In other words, he is now considered a big shot.
He was a little bit adrift.
Feeling dizzy.
Wait until Wu Taisheng and Liu Shao left.
A gust of wind blew by.
Chen Ergou was shocked and woke up.
He thought of himself a moment ago, and a sense of strangeness arose spontaneously, as if he was looking at a stranger through a mirror.
He was silent.
"Brother Sheng, I think I understand a little bit."
In the silent wind, that simple boy walked further and further away.
