A Dimensional Journey Begins with the Dragon Clan

Chapter 1254 Getting Started

After entering the house, the woman prepared a table full of delicious food for them.

Jiang Feng and Jiang Tao sat down and chatted for a few words before getting down to business.

"Brother, sister-in-law, I came here this time mainly because I have something to discuss with you. It's about Xiaohao."

"About Xiaohao? What's the matter?"

The couple was a little confused when they heard this, "The county's big exam is coming up soon, could there be some unexpected event?"

"That's not the case." Jiang Feng shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "It's good news. Have you heard of Jin Xuan Sect?"

"Of course I've heard of it. I heard that it's the place where immortals practice. What's wrong?" Jiang Tao was very confused.

"The time for Jin Xuan Sect to recruit disciples this time just happened to coincide with the county's major examination, and there were several recommendation quotas in the family, and I happened to be assigned one."

"You mean... you want to give this spot to Xiaohao?" Jiang Tao frowned slightly and thought about something.

"Yes." Jiang Feng nodded and said affirmatively, "My son tried it last time, but he didn't have the talent. Lanlan is still young. I thought it would be a good idea for Xiaohao to try it. It would be a waste if we don't use this opportunity."

"But... this coincides with the big exam..." Jiang Tao hesitated. This was exactly what he was worried about.

"Oh, I knew you would say that."

Jiang Feng looked at his elder brother with some regret, "Brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but sometimes people just have to fight for it. Just like when I chose to go to the county, am I living a better life than you now? The opportunity to take the big exam only comes once every few years, but the opportunity to enter the immortal sect to practice may only come once in a lifetime! Do I need to tell you how to choose?"

"Or... why don't we ask Xiaohao what his own plans are?" The woman on the side suggested when she saw that Jiang Tao was undecided.

"Hey."

Jiang Tao sighed when he heard that, then nodded and looked at Xuan Hao.

"That's right, you are always very opinionated. My dear, what do you want to choose?"

"Of course I want to give it a try."

Xuanhao nodded without hesitation.

It should be said that this was the opportunity he had been longing for. He was worrying about how he could successfully enter an immortal sect like the Jinxuan Sect to find a way to practice.

But after staying in this family for so long, it is impossible to say that I don’t have any feelings for it at all.

Of course, he's not the only one with feelings.

The same goes for Jiang Tao's family.

After hearing Xuanhao's decision, the family of three looked at him with some reluctance.

The little girl Jiang Lanlan looked like she was about to cry.

"Brother Hao, are you really going to that sect? You won't go there and never come back, will you?"

"Don't worry, if I don't have that talent, I will come back. Even if I do... I will come back from time to time to check."

Xuanhao rubbed the little girl's head lovingly and assured her.

"Well, in that case..."

Seeing that Xuanhao was determined to leave, Jiang Tao did not intend to stop him. He looked at Jiang Feng and said, "Then second brother, I'll trouble you with this child."

Jiang Feng patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, big brother. Let Xiaohao give it a try. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work. If it does work, it will be a fairy fate. No one in the village or the county will dare to bully your family in the future."

"Hehe, that would be great if that were the case."

Jiang Tao smiled when he heard that.

Although Xuanhao has no blood relationship with him, his family has treated Xuanhao as a family member for so long.

If this kid really has this opportunity, his whole family will certainly be overwhelmed with joy.

"Immortals...what are the immortals in this world like?" Xuan Hao asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Second Uncle Jiang Feng's face suddenly became yearning, and he laughed and said, "Immortals are beings that can do everything in heaven and on earth. They have great magical powers that are beyond the comprehension of mortals like us. If you also have a chance to become an immortal, you will naturally understand it in the future. Good boy, keep going."

"Yeah." Xuanhao nodded slightly.

After meal.

Jiang Tao did not stay long. He left a message saying that he would report the quota and someone from Jin Xuan Sect would come to pick up Xuan Hao at the appointed time, and then left.

time flies.

A month later, it was time for Jin Xuan Sect to recruit disciples.

A month passed in a flash. During this period, in addition to daily farm work and reading, Xuan Hao spent more time on physical exercise and meditation, hoping to be in the best condition in Jin Xuanzong's selection.

On this day, the sky was just getting light and the whole village was still shrouded in tranquility. However, Xuanhao's heart was surging, as he knew that today was the day when Jin Xuanzong would send someone to pick him up for the test.

Jiang Tao's family got up early and prepared a hearty breakfast. Although they were reluctant to leave, they were more happy and proud of Xuanhao. Jiang Lanlan's eyes were red, but she still forced a smile and cheered Xuanhao on.

"Brother Hao, you must work hard. I believe you can become an immortal!" Jiang Lanlan held Xuanhao's hand and said seriously.

Xuanhao touched her head and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, little sister, I will work hard."

The sun gradually rose, and the village began to get lively. At this moment, a melodious flute sound came from afar, and along with the flute sound, a figure slowly landed on the open space in the village. It was a young man in a white robe, with a handsome face and a noble temperament. He was the messenger sent by Jin Xuanzong to take in the new disciples.

"Who is Xuan Hao?" The messenger's voice was clear and spread throughout the village.

"It's me." Xuan Hao stood up and walked towards the messenger.

The messenger looked Xuanhao up and down and nodded slightly: "Not bad, come with me." Xuanhao looked back at Jiang Tao's family. Although they were reluctant, they still waved goodbye. Xuanhao took a deep breath, turned around and followed the messenger out of the village.

Along the way, the messenger did not say much, but took Xuan Hao to ride the wind, passing through countless mountains and rivers, and finally came to a towering mountain. Here, clouds and mists lingered, and the air was filled with fairy air. It was the mountain gate of Jinxuan Sect.

"This is the Jinxuan Sect. After you enter, someone will guide you to take the spiritual root test. I hope you can pass it." After the messenger said this, he turned and left.

Xuanhao stood in front of the mountain gate, looking at the huge stone door, his heart full of anticipation and nervousness. He knew that behind this door was a whole new world, and it was also the beginning of his journey to immortality.

Taking a deep breath, Xuan Hao walked into the mountain gate. As soon as he entered, several disciples who looked young came to greet him.

"New disciple, please follow me." One of the disciples said with a smile.

Xuanhao followed them to a spacious square, where many teenagers like him had gathered to take the test. Some were nervous, some were excited, and they were all waiting for the test to begin.

Soon, an old man who looked quite dignified walked up to the high platform in front of the square. He swept his eyes over all the new disciples and slowly spoke: "Welcome to Jinxuan Sect. I am the host of this test. Next, you will undergo a spiritual root test. Only those who have spiritual roots are qualified to become disciples of my Jinxuan Sect."

As the old man's voice fell, the atmosphere in the square suddenly became tense. Xuanhao also felt a little pressure, but he quickly adjusted his mentality. He believed in himself and he would definitely pass the test.

The test began, and the young men came forward one by one to be examined by the old man. Some showed happy smiles, while others were full of disappointment. Finally, it was Xuanhao's turn.

He walked forward and held out his hand for the old man to check. The old man closed his eyes, and after a moment, he opened his eyes with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"You... actually possess a rare spiritual root!" There was a hint of excitement in the old man's voice.

Heavenly spiritual roots are extremely rare and precious spiritual roots in the world of immortal cultivation. The possessor can cultivate at a speed far beyond that of ordinary people, and his future achievements are limitless.

The other young men waiting for the test in the square cast envious and shocked glances at the old man when they heard his words. The rarity of the Heavenly Spiritual Root was enough to make any immortal cultivator excited.

"Xuanhao, come with me." The old man said to Xuanhao with a gentle smile on his face.

Xuan Hao followed the old man out of the square, through several winding paths, and came to a quiet courtyard. The environment here is quiet, and the air is filled with a faint spiritual energy. It is obviously a good place for cultivation.

"From today on, you are a disciple of Jinxuan Sect." The old man looked at Xuanhao with admiration in his eyes, "I am the elder of Jinxuan Sect, you can call me Elder Yun."

"Disciple Xuanhao, greetings to Elder Yun." Xuanhao bowed respectfully.

Elder Yun nodded and continued, "Disciples with natural spiritual roots are extremely rare in our Jinxuan Sect. You will receive the best cultivation resources and guidance. However, the road to cultivation is long and full of challenges. You must be mentally prepared."

"Disciple understands." Xuan Hao answered seriously.

Elder Yun nodded with satisfaction, then took out an ancient book from his sleeve and handed it to Xuan Hao: "This is the basic practice of Jinxuan Sect, "Xuantian Heart Method". You should start practicing with it. Remember, the way to cultivate immortals is to focus on one's character, and not to rush for quick success."

Xuan Hao took over the "Xuantian Heart Sutra" and felt the depth and mystery contained in the book, and his heart was filled with yearning for the path of cultivating immortals.

"Disciple will definitely practice diligently and live up to the elders' expectations." Xuan Hao said firmly.

Elder Yun smiled slightly, then pointed to a quiet room in the courtyard: "That is your place for training, you can start now."

Xuan Hao bowed again and turned to walk towards the quiet room. He knew that from this moment on, his life would change dramatically. He would no longer be the boy who helped to farm in the village, but a disciple who embarked on the path of cultivating immortals.

Entering the quiet room, Xuan Hao sat cross-legged, opened the "Xuantian Heart Sutra", and began to study it carefully. Every word and sentence in the book deeply attracted him. As he read deeper, he gradually felt the mystery and unfathomable depth of cultivation.

As night fell, the entire Jinxuan Sect was immersed in tranquility. Xuanhao practiced in the quiet room for a whole day, and he felt a subtle change in his body, which was the feeling of spiritual energy flowing in his body.

He knew that this was just the beginning of his journey to immortality, and that there was still a long way to go. But he had the confidence, determination, and perseverance to pursue a higher realm and explore the unknown mysteries.

In the process, he would often think of Jiang Tao's family and the warm little village, which was his eternal home and his eternal concern. He secretly vowed that no matter what the future holds, he would remember his roots and those who gave him warmth and support.

The road to becoming an immortal begins from now on.

------

As the night deepened, the gate of Jinxuan Sect became more mysterious. Xuanhao was immersed in the practice of "Xuantian Heart Method" in the quiet room. His breathing gradually became slow and deep, and he seemed to be integrated with the surrounding environment.

He didn't know how much time passed during his practice. When the first ray of morning light shone into the quiet room through the window, Xuan Hao slowly opened his eyes. He felt a warm current slowly flowing through his body. Although it was weak, it was extremely pure. This was the first time he felt the existence of spiritual energy.

Xuanhao stood up and walked out of the quiet room to greet the new day. The flowers and plants in the courtyard looked particularly vibrant under the morning sun. He took a deep breath and the fresh air made him feel refreshed.

"How does it feel to practice?" Elder Yun, who had already stood in the courtyard at some point, asked with a smile.

"Disciple can feel the presence of spiritual energy, although it is still very weak." Xuan Hao answered respectfully.

Elder Yun nodded and said, "The key to cultivation is perseverance. Although your spiritual roots give you a higher starting point than others, the path to immortality depends more on personal perseverance and understanding. Today, I will take you to see the sect master, who will give you more guidance."

Xuan Hao was delighted. It was undoubtedly a great honor and opportunity for him to meet the sect leader.

Following Elder Yun, Xuan Hao passed through the numerous palaces of Jinxuan Sect and came to the main hall where the Sect Master was. It was magnificent and majestic, which made people feel awe.

The clan leader was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties. He had a handsome face and extraordinary temperament. His eyes were deep, as if he could see into people's hearts.

"Xuan Hao, this is the leader of our Jinxuan Sect, Zhenren Tianji." Elder Yun introduced.

"Disciple Xuanhao, greetings to the sect master." Xuanhao bowed respectfully.

Tianji Zhenren nodded slightly, his eyes swept over Xuanhao, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Heavenly spiritual roots are really rare. Elder Yun, you have a good eye."

Elder Yun smiled and said, "Master, you are too kind. This is also Xuanhao's own blessing."

Tianji Zhenren turned to Xuanhao and said, "Xuanhao, since you have a natural spiritual root, your path of cultivation will be broader than that of ordinary people. But remember, the path of cultivation is full of unknowns and dangers. You must be prepared to face challenges at any time."

"Disciple understands." Xuan Hao answered seriously.

Tianji Zhenren nodded, then took out a jade slip from his sleeve and handed it to Xuanhao: "This is my Jinxuan Sect's advanced technique, the Tianji Jue. You can try to practice it on the basis of practicing the Xuantian Heart Technique."

Xuan Hao took the jade slip and felt the powerful magic power contained in it. His heart was filled with excitement and anticipation.

"Disciple will definitely practice hard and live up to the expectations of the sect master and Elder Yun." Xuan Hao said firmly.
