Chapter 19 Arriving at the Spiritual Cultivation World's Recruitment Site
A deafening roar reverberated in my ears.
The image of my body being flung to pieces flashed before my eyes.
Ji Mingran felt enveloped in heavy darkness, and his breathing became increasingly heavy and slow.
Suddenly, waves of intense weightlessness surged through her senses.
She is falling.
Yes, you are falling. The clear, gentle voice seemed to come from a very distant place, very low in volume, but sounded very familiar.
Ji Mingran thought vaguely.
Yes, she's falling.
Huh? She's falling!
Ji Mingran suddenly awoke from his unconsciousness, involuntarily gasping for breath as fresh air instantly filled his lungs. His tightly closed eyes barely opened in the wind, and he found himself headfirst, plunging towards the ground.
The lush green ground magnified rapidly before her eyes. Without time to think about what was happening, she quickly formed a hand seal and cast a spell, tightly enveloping herself in a Vajra Array.
Ji Mingran inhaled and exhaled large gulps of air.
Whether just now or now, she only needs to breathe normally, and a large amount of spiritual energy will be inhaled into her body along with the air, without having to distinguish the impurities in the air before guiding it.
Her cultivation level was low, and the array she could activate could only be maintained for a short time. Now she didn't know where she was going to fall. The teleportation array was not easy to use, so she could only use the Vajra Array to protect herself from injury.
Fortunately, the spiritual energy here is pure, so once the Vajra Formation expires, it can be immediately re-set and continuously renewed.
When she continued the Vajra Formation for the thirteenth time, the towering trees intertwined with the lush green waves were already clearly visible, with branches thicker than her arm pointing straight up to the sky, directly towards her head!
Unable to stop the downward trend, Ji Mingran quickly reached out and grabbed a tree branch.
A series of crashing sounds rang out as the branches snapped and scattered in all directions under the immense impact of her descent.
After crashing through countless branches, Ji Mingran's downward momentum weakened, and his feet got stuck between the branches. With his head down and body hanging upside down, he barely managed to stop his fall.
Although I was dizzy and a little disheveled from the impact, I managed to land safely.
Before his vision cleared, Ji Mingran heard a commotion under the tree.
"Get down, get down."
"This is the first one! Number one."
"I wonder what level of power this expert is at."
"No one should try to take people from my Xuan Yi Sect."
"Anyone with discernment would definitely choose my First Sword Sect. You guys are nothing."
"Pah! Your Sword Sect is all talk and no action. Who doesn't know that the number one Sword Sect is Hongqi Sect?"
"Huh? This person has absolutely no cultivation."
"A lucky one has arrived?"
"Ugh, what bad luck! I should have known better than to wait here!"
"I have heard of the extraordinary encounters that mortals have made by mistake and entered the Heavenly Gate, but this is the first time I have ever seen it with my own eyes."
"What use is he? He has no cultivation whatsoever, and he's not young either. I think his talent is extremely limited. Our sect has plenty of outer disciples. I've been ordered to come and find someone with real ability."
"Don't say that, after all, luck is also a part of strength."
"Then let the sects that can handle the luck take it. My First Sword Sect is not willing to waste time."
One of them shouted, "People are coming from over there! A huge group!"
With a whoosh, the whole group of people vanished on the spot.
Ji Mingran hadn't figured out what was going on yet; he just felt very dizzy. In his field of vision, a bright red, round object was rhythmically swaying up and down.
She became increasingly dizzy as she looked at it, and had no choice but to speak with difficulty.
"brother."
The round object paused.
The red back of his head slowly turned around, revealing a boy with slanted eyebrows, a high nose, and sharp features beneath his fiery red buzz cut. He had a blade of grass between his thin lips, and his whole demeanor was both arrogant and nonchalant.
He raised his beautiful almond-shaped eyes and said with great interest, "Oh, still alive."
After saying that, he shook his head violently, saying as he did so, "Are you dizzy? Are you dizzy? Are you dizzy?"
The head was shaken rhythmically.
Ji Mingran was shocked that someone's appearance and demeanor could be so completely different. "You are..."
Is he mentally disabled?
However, before he could utter those three words, vomit gushed from his mouth.
Ji Mingran felt the contents of his stomach gushing out, and he couldn't stop regretting it.
Oh dear, I shouldn't have eaten so much before setting off.
After crossing the Heavenly Gate, she, the girl, and the horse were like being shoved into a high-speed washing machine, swept up and spun around by the power of the world's rift.
To protect the horse, the girl broke free from Ji Mingran, but was eventually swept away and left to jostle alone until she finally fainted.
Although she tried her best to protect her body, she was tossed and turned violently, and since the food she ate for dinner had not yet been digested, her stomach felt bloated and uncomfortable after she woke up.
After vomiting, Ji Mingran felt refreshed.
The boy ahead continued to complain.
"I knew that old man was up to no good. Why did he have to get involved in this mess? He's always dreaming of recruiting disciples from the lower realms. Everyone knows that capable people are already being snapped up, leaving only the incompetent ones here, foaming at the mouth, trying to recruit anyone."
Hearing the boy complain about him, Ji Mingran didn't care at all. Instead, he asked with great interest, "Hey, is your sect recruiting disciples?"
The boy immediately shut up and stopped talking.
Clearly, he didn't want to deal with Ji Mingran.
Ji Mingran, seemingly oblivious to the boy's obvious resistance, went straight to the point and asked, "Do you think I'm suitable to join your sect?"
The boy glanced at Ji Mingran and the vomit left on the branches beside her, his eyes filled with disgust, and refused decisively: "I don't think so."
He covered his nose with his hand, then turned his back to Ji Mingran, not looking at her again.
"Okay." Ji Mingran shrugged, straightened up like a carp, turned his upside-down body around, and then leaped down, nimbly jumping between the branches before finally landing safely.
She forgot about the pain as she crossed the battlefield, and then she became numb.
Ji Mingran stood under the tree, stretched his body slightly, and walked towards the place that the people had pointed out earlier.
Strolling slowly, with the help of more than a dozen teleportation arrays, Ji Mingran finally heard a commotion of voices ahead. Looking into the distance, the number of people gathered was even greater than what he had seen before.
Some were waving sect banners, some had set up stalls, some were hawking their wares, and others were distributing flyers. It was a bustling and lively scene.
Upon closer inspection, several people were surrounding one person.
They gathered in small groups, trying their best to persuade the bewildered person in the center to join their sect.
“Young friend, the spell you used when you landed just now is from the same lineage as our Jing Shi Sect. It is likely that one of our elders has some connection with you in the lower realm. Young friend, would you like to come to our sect?”
The young man in the center frowned: "But I have never heard of any ancestor from the sect entering the Jing Shi Sect of the Spirit Cultivation World in the Small World."
"This, this, this..." The cultivator was probably a novice, and after a long pause, he finally managed to say, "Perhaps there is a time difference between the lower realm and the spiritual cultivation world. Moreover, it is not easy for the spiritual cultivation world to transmit messages to the lower realm. It is possible that your sect has not received the latest news."
The young man snorted coldly: "I am just a rogue cultivator, what sect or master do I have?" After saying that, he ignored the embarrassed cultivator who was trying to persuade him and strode forward.
However, he had only taken a few steps when he was surrounded by people again.
"Young friend, why not join our Hidden Nine Paths? We are the best in talismanic arts in the east of Yanzhou. You are sure to achieve great things if you join us."
"The Suqi Sect is quite famous in Yuanzhou. They are skilled in magic and artifacts. Young friend, you may want to consider them."
"Our Xiaosu Pavilion is the number one sword sect in the northwest of Qingzhou, but our ancestor Wuji is extremely skilled in magic. Fellow Daoist, would you be willing to join us?"
The cultivators vied to recommend their families, but one cultivator alone did not mingle with the others. He stood outside the circle and slowly spoke.
The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, but it was clearly audible.
"Flowing Illusion Valley".
The young man stared at her intently, then turned and followed her without saying a word, leaving with her.
The cultivators from the Suqi Sect exclaimed in surprise, "Why would Liuhuan Valley come? These sects never actively recruit people."
"There's probably some connection between them," said the cultivator from the Hidden Nine Paths Sect. "The major sects might not come to recruit people, but they will come to pick them up."
"Forget it, forget it. Let's find someone else." The group of them split up and ran off to the other people they had their eyes on, squeezing into small circles of people to begin a new round of persuasion.
Ji Mingran watched from the sidelines as the cultivators from various sects of the spiritual cultivation world vied to cross the Heavenly Gate.
She stood there for a while, watched several more talent-grabbing battles, and gradually understood.
Those cultivators who can cross the Heavenly Gate to reach the Spiritual Cultivation Realm have already reached the pinnacle of cultivation in their respective small worlds. Moreover, they have experienced countless battles and fights. Compared to disciples of the same level in the Spiritual Cultivation Realm who only study and cultivate within their sects, they have richer practical experience and their advancement and breakthroughs are smoother. Therefore, cultivators who have crossed the Heavenly Gate are highly sought-after by various sects in the Spiritual Cultivation Realm.
Therefore, various sects in the spiritual cultivation world would send their disciples to guard various locations at the Heavenly Gate teleportation point in advance, so as to recruit cultivators from other worlds as soon as possible.
However, recruitment is not always successful. There are countless sects and factions in the various small worlds, and many of them have already achieved great success in the spiritual cultivation world. After that, the disciples of the same sect will naturally follow in the footsteps of the ancestor and join the ancestor's sect.
In addition, there are the top sects in the spiritual cultivation world, renowned far and wide. Countless cultivators flock to them, kneeling and begging to join, so there's no need for them to condescend to recruit disciples. Of course, if a cultivator is fortunate enough to be favored by a major sect, the sect will send someone to pick them up and bring them to the sect's territory.
Cultivators who have just crossed the Heavenly Gate are easy to identify. Even the most composed person will be overwhelmed by the spiritual energy-rich spiritual cultivation world, and will show various expressions such as surprise, novelty, and joy. Moreover, no matter how varied the expressions are, they will eventually all converge into confusion and bewilderment.
Therefore, spiritual practitioners are always able to accurately identify the people they want.
As Ji Mingran observed from her spot, cultivators from various sects hurried by. A few people paused briefly as they passed by her, but ultimately no one stopped.
Gradually, the cultivators from the small world who remained here took their places in the territory of their respective sects, waiting for their senior brothers and sisters to take them away.
There were no more lone individuals at the scene, except for Ji Mingran.
Many eyes, both openly and secretly, were on her.
However, the person involved was completely unaware.
Ji Mingran looked left and right, then stumbled towards the nearest Jing Shi Gate.
