The Great Wild God - Chapter 198

Chapter 198 Outer Sect Disciple
“So it’s Daoist Gu Yang’s disciple. Ji Lie is courteous.”

Ji Lie nodded slightly at Xia Xiangyi in return. Zhan Ran looked at Chang Xi with his divine gaze and asked with a smile,

“This is Miss Chang Xi?”

“Chang Xi greets Sect Master Ji.” Chang Xi bowed, but her dark big eyes were circling around Chen Xun and Li Yu. She didn’t know if they had said anything about her entering Yuanwu City pretending to be Baili Jingrong of the Thousand Swords Sect.

Gu Wentian glanced at Chang Xi and Xia Xiangyi. He didn’t want to ask about Chang Xi’s banning from the Plum Valley. He said, “Xia Xiangyi and Chang Xi, please send the two disciples of Sect Master Ji to the welcoming courtyard …”

“Li Yu is my senior brother, and Chen Xun is someone’s fellow Daoist.” Ji Lie explained, avoiding the Divine Night Sect underestimating Li Yu and Chen Xun because of their low cultivation.

Gu Wentian swept his eyes over Li Yu and Chen Xun, but he didn’t apologize for the misunderstanding just now. Generation was only effective in the sect, and leaving the sect only depended on cultivation realm. Even amongst the Divine Night Sect’s various peaks, the disciples only depended on their cultivation bases to get along with each other.

The fact that the Divine Night Sect was able to have Daoist Primordial Core Realm figures personally come to the mountain gate to welcome Ji Lie was enough respect for the Thousand Swords Sect.

Chen Xun naturally didn’t expect a True Human Origin Core Realm figure to think too highly of his insignificant role. He smiled and greeted Chang Xi, “Big Boss, we meet again.”

Chen Xun didn’t know Chang Xi’s real name until the end. He knew that she was the direct disciple of the Crimson Sun Peak of the Divine Night Sect, but Chang Xi didn’t know that he, Li Yu, had such a deep connection with the Thousand Swords Sect.

Ji Lie was the dignified sect master of the Thousand Swords Sect, yet he didn’t hesitate to surrender his identity and address him as Fellow Daoist Chen Xun. This truly made her unable to figure out what kind of relationship he had with the Thousand Swords Sect. Her dark eyes rolled around him, and she wished she could drag him into a remote forest and torture him to confess.

However, Xia Xiangyi was extremely embarrassed. At that time, he still treated these two people as sand bandits and threw them down to be chased after by the people of the Marquis Manor of Yuan Dynasty. However, since Martial Uncle Gu had asked them to send the two of them to the welcoming yard for temporary accommodation, he could only forcefully agree.

Ji Lie followed Gu Wentian and transformed into two rainbow shadows, heading straight for Purple Night Peak. Xia Xiangyi, Chang Xi, Chen Xun, and Li Yu walked towards the Myriad Pine Valley not far ahead.

The courtyard where the visitors from the mountain gate were received was not far away in the Myriad Pine Valley.

************************

“How do you know Ji Lie from the Thousand Swords Sect? Why are you Ji Lie’s senior brother?” On the way, Chang Xi couldn’t wait to ask why, “Why did you come back to the Divine Night Sect today?”

“Senior Li is Sect Master Ji’s senior apprentice-brother. I accidentally met with a disaster in the sand. I only went two times to report and deliver medicine. Thank you, Sect Master Ji, for your kindness,” Chen Xun said. “Sect Master Ji’s bottle of pills for healing Senior Li was half snatched away by the Great Master. We didn’t tell Sect Master Ji about it. Don’t worry, Great Master.”

Before explaining the Blood Pill and Demon Fiend matters to the head of the Divine Night Sect, Ji Lie had specifically instructed them not to spread the news so as to avoid causing unnecessary lies.

The Divine Night Sect still needed to decide how the various sects in the Northwest Region would work together to deal with this matter.

Chang Xi didn’t care, but Chen Xun changed the topic and said disdainfully, “I also said how did you all have spirit medicines to heal your meridians …”

Xia Xiangyi frowned slightly, thinking that Ji Lie’s sudden visit shouldn’t be a simple matter. Even if the Thousand Swords Sect, Mount Qiyun, and Marquis Yuan’s Manor had been entangled over the years, it wasn’t up to the Divine Night Sect to mediate.

Besides, even if the Divine Night Sect didn’t secretly help the decline of the Thousand Swords Sect, it was happy to see it succeed. Ji Lie couldn’t be so childish as to rush to the Divine Night Sect to ask for help because of this matter.

After a short moment, everyone entered Myriad Pine Valley.

From the mountain gate, there were stone paths that were nearly ten zhang wide, and the pine forests on both sides were moving like waves.

Chen Xun and Li Yu didn’t know what secret technique the Divine Night Sect had to use to protect the mountain. As they walked through the mountain gate, they felt that with each step they took, the spiritual energy would become denser. When they reached the valley entrance, the dense spiritual energy made one feel as if their hearts were soaking. The mist floating in the mountain forest carried a bit of spiritual charm.

Fish Yang Grass and other low-grade spiritual herbs were everywhere in the valley. More than ten bottles of stone carvings stood at the entrance of the valley like Empyrean Gods, revealing unparalleled might. People could not help but sigh at their own insignificance.

Down the valley path, rows and rows of black tiles of pill walls stretched out from the deep valley of the pine forest. There was actually no end in sight, afraid that hundreds of people would enter the courtyard. It was said to be a welcoming courtyard, but it was as if it was a city hidden deep within the pine valley.

This was only the welcoming yard of the Divine Night Sect. As for how large the entire Divine Night Sect was, it was difficult for Chen Xun to see its true appearance from within this mountain.

In the welcoming courtyard, in the stone pavement square that was several hundred feet square, there were currently crowds of people. The dense stubble was packed with young men and women. There were probably twenty to thirty thousand of them.

Most of these young men and women had peak Azure Yang Realm cultivation, and a small number of them were Reincarnation Realm cultivators.

Chen Xun was even more surprised. Most of these young men and women were dressed in luxurious clothes. Men were dignified and had extraordinary manners, while women were handsome and colorful. Their faces were beautiful, and their appearances were extraordinary.

“Ah, so these days are the triennial outer sect disciple selection day in Divine Night Sect …” Seeing this, Li Yu suddenly realized what was going on with the crowd in front of him.

Chen Xun thought to himself that the Divine Night Sect was one of the seven sects in Cloud Continent and the leader of the various sects in the northwest. Even if it was an outer sect disciple selection, there were countless aristocratic clans that would send their disciples to the Divine Night Sect to cultivate.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Chen Xun thought to himself, these young men and women probably didn’t lack royal relatives of noble status.

A disciple of the Divine Night Sect dressed in a crimson-green uniform saw Xia Xiangyi and Chang Xi’s silhouettes. Several people immediately surrounded him in a flattering manner, “Senior Brother Xia, why did Senior Sister Chang have the time to come to the reception yard?”

An experienced middle-aged disciple looked at Chen Xun and asked with a smile, “This is Senior Brother Xia. Senior Sister Chang recommended him to participate in the disciple selection?”

Chang Xi did not intend to pay any attention to the compliments of these deacon disciples. She thought of something and asked with a dejected expression, “Do the candidates I recommend have to go through an examination before they can be accepted as outer sect disciples?”

The middle-aged disciple’s heart trembled when he saw Chang Xi’s pretty face gently gently gently embracing the frost. He smiled embarrassedly and said, “Elder Fan is in charge of the outer sect disciple selection this time. I will go invite Elder Fan over for Senior Sister Chang.”

Before Chen Xun and the others could react, the middle-aged disciple sneaked into the courtyard with smoke rising from his feet. Chen Xun saw that he was also at the middle stage of the Reincarnation Realm, but he was extremely fearful of Chang Xi in his heart.

“What are you trying to do?” Xia Xiangyi’s face sank as she asked Chang Xi in a low voice.

“Chen Xun is not a disciple of the Thousand Swords Sect. Why can’t I recommend him to enter the sect?” Chang Xi asked.

Xia Xiangyi had no choice but to remain silent with a cold face, but looking at Chen Xun’s eyes was somewhat unkind.

Chen Xun secretly had a headache. It was fine if he wanted to enter the Scarlet Sun Peak Sect, but there was no need to offend the Scarlet Sun Peak’s eldest disciple, Xia Xiangyi, before entering. He coughed and reminded Chang Xi that he was still here.

“What? Are you still not interested in our Divine Night Sect?” Chang Xi asked Chen Xun in a loud voice.

Most of the outer disciples gathered in the welcoming yard today were from aristocratic clans. There were also quite a few royal relatives, all of them had extraordinary backgrounds and their eyes were higher than the top.

However, when Chen Xun and the others entered, they called a few Divine Night Sect disciples who were in charge of the selection, attracting a lot of attention. Chang Xi shouted loudly, and hundreds of gazes shot towards Chen Xun in unison. All kinds of gazes seemed to want to peel Chen Xun’s cocoons, and they were all thinking in their hearts,

What kind of background did this brat have that he didn’t even see in the eyes of the Divine Night Sect?

The gazes of the crowd were filled with ill intentions, and Chen Xun’s head was numb as well.

If he could protect the Divine Night Sect’s subordinates, he naturally wouldn’t have to worry that Qing Yangzi or the Su Clan would be able to find trouble with him again. The fact that he had killed three black-armored generals of the Marquis of Yuan Wu Manor could also be gently exposed, but he expected that Chang Xi might not necessarily have good intentions in forcefully dragging him into the Divine Night Sect.

At this moment, several bells rang out from the peak of Zixiao Peak, which was hidden in the depths of the clouds. It sounded like an immortal voice that was ethereal. However, it didn’t sound very loud. After a long time in the valley, several rainbow shadows flew out from the left and right peaks and gathered together towards Zixiao Peak.

Seeing this scene, the eyes of these young men and women standing on the square outside the welcoming courtyard were filled with enchantment. They didn’t know when they would be able to ride the clouds and mist like these True Humanity Cultivators, sweeping across the Heaven Domain.

Xia Xiangyi’s expression changed slightly when she saw this scene. She really did not know why Thousand Sword Sect’s Ji Lie had rushed over. He actually called for the Sect Leader to ring the Brahma Heaven Bell and gather the Sect Leaders of the various peaks to discuss matters at the Crimson Sun Palace.

At this time, a short and fat old man dressed in a scarlet yellow robe followed the middle-aged disciples who had just entered into the courtyard and rushed out. Seeing Xia Xiangyi, Chang Xi laughed and said, “Junior Brother Xia, Junior Sister Chang wants to recommend someone to enter Gu Yang Peak as an outer sect disciple. Tell me, why do you need Junior Brother Xia?”

On the way to the Divine Night Sect, Chen Xun had roughly learned about the internal situation of the Divine Night Sect from Ji Lie and Li Yu.

There were only thirty to forty direct disciples like Xia Xiangyi and Chang Xi who had advanced to the Heaven Origin Realm in Divine Night Sect.

If one cultivated for a hundred years, there was really no hope of cultivating Origin Pills, then a Heavenly Origin Realm disciple would take on the duties of deacon, outer sect elder, and so on.

Although the short and fat old man in red and yellow robes in front of him also had the cultivation of a middle Heaven Origin Realm cultivator, and although he was an outer sect deacon elder, in the sect, he was still not comparable to Xia Xiangyi and Chang Xi’s direct disciples, who were expected to cultivate into Origin Pills with boundless potential.

Within the Divine Night Sect, there were seven peaks, including Gu Yang, Tian Xing, and Zi Xiao. Each peak was no weaker than a sect like Qiyun Mountain. Xia Xiangyi and Chang Xi were one of the seven peaks, the direct disciples of Gu Yang Peak.

Apart from the direct disciples, the disciples of Purple Night Peak also had differences between the outer sect and the inner sect.

It was easy to enter the Purple Night Sect’s outer sect.

To maintain such a large sect system, the Purple Night Sect needed to maintain close and friendly relations with the prefectures and cities. Apart from recruiting a group of talented young disciples from time to time to nurture them, most of the prestigious clans in the prefectures and cities of the Northwest Region recommended their own disciples to come over, and the Purple Night Sect would not reject them.

Therefore, the size of the outer sect disciples of the Purple Night Sect remained at over a hundred thousand throughout the year.

The outer sect disciples didn’t have much privilege and usually had many chores assigned to them. If they had the potential to advance to the Heavenly Yuan realm, they would enter the inner sect.

Only inner sect disciples could be considered true Divine Night Sect disciples.

And when it came to the potential to enter the Heavenly Absolute Realm, the most crucial point was that the Reincarnation Realm was capable of cleansing and opening nine spirit veins!

Of course, a cultivation genius who had just entered the early stage of the Reincarnation Realm and was capable of cleansing five or six spirit veins was also qualified to enter the inner sect of the Purple Night Sect.

Currently, the Purple Night Sect’s seven peak inner sect disciples were around a thousand strong.

Of course, disciples with exceptional aptitude, Xiantian Dao Embryo, and bloodline could also be direct disciples of the Seven Peaks Sect.

Therefore, Chang Xi looked young, behaved obediently, and acted recklessly. However, as a closed-door disciple of Daoist Gu Yang of Gu Yang Peak, her status in the Purple Night Sect was extremely high. Even an outer sect elder like Fan Chengqian had to look at her expression and act.

If Chang Xi wanted to directly stuff an outer sect disciple, Fan Chengqian would naturally close his eyes and take out the disciple register. He asked Chen Xun, “What is your name? Where is your clan’s clan’s clan? Are there any elders from the Divine Night Sect who used to cultivate in the past? What realm are they at now? What are they skilled at?”

Chen Xun was a little stunned. He had followed the Thousand Sword Sect’s Sect Master, Ji Lie, to the Divine Night Sect to inform them. However, Chang Xi’s movements were even faster. She directly received the disciple register from Fan Chengqian and filled in Chen Xun’s information with a dragon-like snake in her hand.

“Chen Xun, from the Azure Water Python Teeth Ridge. He is 24 years old and has no teacher or sect. He is at the peak of the early stage of the Reincarnation Realm and is skilled in artifact forging. He recommends Gu Yangfeng’s direct descendant, Chang Xi, to be recorded as an outer sect disciple of Gu Yangfeng …”

Chang Xi looked at Chen Xun with her beautiful eyes and thought to herself, “How are you going to escape from this old mother’s palm?”
