All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

The founding ceremony of Dengxian Pavilion is located in an independent space.

There is a huge square here. All those who have finished the exam will appear in the square and then be led to participate in the ceremony.

"What kind of a test is this! How can I, a genius, only get 150 points? And that last test is completely destroying my Taoism!"

A man at the Jindan stage appeared in the square at this time, cursing. It seemed that the experience just now was not easy for him to accept. Judging from his emotional state, he might have the tendency to explode and cause trouble on the spot.

But then a dreamy woman in pink gauze appeared before him and walked towards him with a smile, which frightened him so much that he didn't even realize it, and even showed a silly smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Dear guest, the ceremony is about to begin. Please follow me."

The woman who was so beautiful that she seemed almost unreal was able to control the Jindan cultivator who might have been angry with just a smile. He happily followed her to the crowd gathering area, thus defusing potential trouble invisibly.

Needless to say, she is actually Peach Blossom Demon, a disciple accepted by Wang Zhifan before the ceremony. Now she comes out to help. Just by using a little of her innate charm, she can quell many troubles.

Of course, with her strength, it was impossible for her to handle all the guests, but she was not the only one helping in the square. Wang Zhifan’s other two great demon disciples, Bingfeng and Qinglong, were also there.

Bing Feng is powerful but young and arrogant, and is mainly responsible for maintaining the most basic order. Qing Long is not simple. He is the strongest and has the most experience. He specializes in dealing with cultivators above the Jindan stage who want to cause trouble, and solves problems with verbal skills and physical strength.

As for the troubles that even he cannot solve, he has to find the chief disciple of Dengxian Pavilion, who is a pseudonym of Wang Zhifan. There is basically no problem that cannot be handled here.

At this moment, Wang Zhifan appeared in the square in his true form, appeared before everyone, and announced the official start of the opening ceremony.

"Everyone! The first round of the exam has ended! I hope everyone has gained a satisfactory opportunity! All cultivators who have passed the exam and are eligible to register with this pavilion can join this pavilion as formal disciples! Without further ado, the opening ceremony officially begins!"

After he finished speaking, a huge pavilion appeared above the square and slowly descended from the sky. In the pavilion, a fairy figure appeared and spread his fairy pressure to the square below, attracting a large number of monks to worship it unconsciously.

"Immortal above!"

"There really is an immortal in Dengxian Pavilion!"

"Is this the foundation of the Ascension Pavilion?"

……

Afterwards, under the eager gazes of many cultivators, Wang Zhifan's clone, the old immortal who was disguised as an immortal, walked out of the Ascension Pavilion and began the main program of the opening ceremony, preaching.

However, this segment does not talk about how a cultivator specifically cultivates to become an immortal. Instead, it starts from the perspective of Dengxian Pavilion and publicizes the differences between Dengxian Pavilion and other immortal sects, and what mature ways and resources to become immortal it has, so that everyone who is interested in joining Dengxian Pavilion listens very carefully.

"Since this pavilion is called the Ascension Pavilion, everything is focused on becoming an immortal, regardless of form. In addition to becoming an immortal through Taoism, there are also ways to become an immortal through martial arts, demons, and ghosts... Anyone who can become an immortal is included..."

The words of the immortal old man's clone soon attracted whispers from the monks who were listening around, because they heard a very exciting content, that is, the Ascension Pavilion actually supports multiple ways to become immortals. Some of them they had heard of, and some of them were completely heard for the first time, which surprised them.

Wang Zhifan was quite satisfied with the effect. He held the opening ceremony to publicize the extraordinary features of Dengxian Pavilion, so that people from all over the world who had the ambition to become immortals would come and join him. Then he would select the most talented people to complete the development of the immortal road and achieve the ultimate goal.

There is no need to go into detail about the founding ceremony that followed. Generally speaking, it was mainly focused on promoting the unique concept of the Ascension Pavilion, and also distributing some benefits, such as elixirs that improve cultivation, so that all participating cultivators can gain something. Even if they are eliminated from the exam and leave, they will not be in too bad a mood and can continue to promote the idea to the outside world.

It was not until the evening of this day that the opening ceremony was completely over. Most of the cultivators left the mountain gate of Dengxian Pavilion, leaving only hundreds of people temporarily in the pavilion.

Don’t think that these hundred or so people are the number of people admitted by Dengxian Pavilion this time. The actual number of people admitted is close to one thousand. However, Dengxian Pavilion is different from other sects. It does not keep all disciples in the sect for training. Most of the disciples are raised in a free-range manner, but they are regularly checked and given training resources, and the structure is relatively loose.

Only those with outstanding qualifications, or those who have long been favored by Wang Zhifan, will have the treatment to stay in Dengxian Pavilion for long-term cultivation. This part is equivalent to the true disciples of Dengxian Pavilion.

Then Wang Zhifan, the Pavilion Master, discovered a very interesting scene. More than two-thirds of the true disciples in his pavilion were from the Tianyun Immortal Sect. Even Ouyang Chen, the current head of the Tianyun Immortal Sect's true disciples, was there. This really made him feel how thick-skinned the old immortal sects were.

At this moment, people from the Tianyun Immortal Sect, headed by Ouyang Chen, gathered in front of the immortal old man, listening to him explain in detail the path to becoming an immortal. Most of them even listened with great interest and had no intention of returning to the Tianyun Immortal Sect.

"Good fellow, those old fellows are planning to usurp our position? They sent their own talented disciples to our doorstep, allowed them to join the Ascension Pavilion, and then drained our resources step by step? Haha, I can only say that they are dreaming. What our Ascension Pavilion needs most is a brand new path to immortality. It doesn't make much sense for ordinary cultivation geniuses to stay here. If we perfunctorily deal with them for a while, they will naturally leave."

Wang Zhifan thought so about Ouyang Chen and other spies deliberately sent by Tianyun Immortal Sect, and did not take them too seriously.

In fact, it was pretty much as he thought. On the same day, several old monsters from the Tianyun Immortal Sect held several meetings, all of which were to discuss how to deal with the emergence of the Dengxian Pavilion.

It was not easy for the old guys to notice any small movement in the outside world. They were more concerned about their personal cultivation. But some time ago, Wang Zhifan broke into the Tianyun Immortal Sect and took away the three great monsters in their Demon Locking Tower. He scared an elder so much that he almost died on the spot, which made the Ascension Pavilion come into their sight.

Wang Zhifan knew about the existence of this group of people very early on, and was prepared for them to cause trouble, especially before the opening ceremony, he had planned to have a big battle with the Tianyun Immortal Sect, and then expand the reputation of the Dengxian Pavilion by the way.

Unexpectedly, the old guys did not play according to his plan at all. They only sent a group of elite disciples to take advantage of him, which made his plan of fighting a battle have no follow-up. He was almost tricked. It can be said that they were extremely cunning.

At this moment, in an underground secret room in the deepest part of Tianyun Immortal Sect, three old men with faint auras on their bodies were discussing the matter of Dengxian Pavilion.

One of them was short and ugly with wrinkles all over his face. He was wearing ill-fitting red cloth clothes. From the sound of the voice, it turned out to be a woman. She said to the other two, "In my opinion, this Ascension Pavilion must be related to the fairyland. To be able to enter and exit our sect's Locking Demon Tower as if it were nothing, one must be a true fairy. We must not offend them easily. It would be best if we can turn hostility into friendship and seek a way to transcend the calamity..."

Another frail old man with worn-out teeth, no hair, beard, and eyebrows completely gone nodded his head immediately and replied with a leaky mouth:

"Hongyun is right. The most important thing for us now is indeed the method to transcend the tribulation and become immortal. If we cannot succeed in transcending the tribulation within two hundred years, we will probably die of old age in the lower world. Compared with this, it is no big deal for our sect to suffer a little humiliation. What's more, the chief disciple of the Ascension Pavilion did not kill our disciples, but only kidnapped three monsters. The two families are not real enemies."

"Then do you know why the people from the Ascension Pavilion kidnapped a few monsters? I am completely puzzled by this..."

After hearing this, the third old man with black beard immediately asked respectfully, if Wang Zhifan was there, he would be able to find this person whom he had met in the Tianyun Immortal Sect’s market.

"This... maybe it's an order from someone in the fairy world? To capture him and make him a pet? According to the few words passed down by a certain immortal from our sect, the fairy world is actually very similar to the human world, with the same human relationships and emotions, but the fairy world has a strong spiritual energy, enough to support the existence of immortals. However, not all people in the fairy world are immortals. It's not uncommon to see people like me who are at the Mahayana level, the Tribulation Crossing level, or even lower..."

The old man continued to reply with his leaky mouth, telling about his understanding and speculation about the fairy world.

From their words, we can understand that they are the strongest people in this world. They are either in the Mahayana realm or the Tribulation Crossing realm, but they are also very old. If they don’t cross the tribulation and ascend to the fairyland, they will be completely finished. The worries in their hearts are no less than those of ordinary cultivators.

It is for this reason that they are quite cautious towards the Ascension Pavilion, which is almost obviously from the fairyland. They dare not offend it casually, and even think about when they can please it. Therefore, it is understandable that they sent their disciples to test it.

Before they figure out the attitude of the Ascension Pavilion, they cannot risk having their old bones broken. They will first test it with their disciples. Subsequent actions will be mainly to meet their needs. They will not care about the small matter of Wang Zhifan robbing their Demon Locking Tower.

And the problem lies here. Wang Zhifan is not actually a visitor from the fairyland. He has never even been to the fairyland of this world. It is probably wishful thinking for the old guys to expect to learn from him how to overcome the tribulation and go to the fairyland.

In fact, the core difficulty of this instance is the dilemma that this group of the strongest natives are currently facing. The fairyland is on the other side, but to get there, they must pass the tribulation and bear a very huge risk. Even the strongest cultivators in this world cannot pass it stably, so how can the players who join in halfway do it? There is a high probability that they will die of old age in this world and will not be able to reach the threshold of passing the tribulation.

If Wang Zhifan was an ordinary player, according to the design of the copy, he would also be trapped in the difficulty of tribulation and spend a lot of time on it. But the reality is that his strength is too beyond the limit. He doesn't care about tribulation or fairyland at all. He can force his way through it with just a little effort. As the saying goes, one force can break all laws.

The three ancestors of the Tianyun Immortal Sect discussed for a while, and suddenly a sound transmission spell appeared in their ears, telling them the latest news, which made their expressions change slightly.

"The Ascension Pavilion held a grand examination and ceremony, and hundreds of our disciples passed the test and gained many opportunities. What exactly is the purpose of the Ascension Pavilion?"

The short woman in red named Hongyun was confused.

"Tell me the details of the opportunity quickly, so that I can see where it comes from in the fairyland!"

The old man then asked for details about the source of the intelligence and soon received a detailed response.

After all, the disciples of Tianyun Immortal Sect went there to gather intelligence. Although Wang Zhifan knew about it, he did not stop them. At present, the intelligence has already been transmitted back to Tianyun Immortal Sect.

But after listening to Jiyuan's story for a while, the old man frowned, feeling that something was wrong and it was very different from what he had imagined.

The reason is very simple. He did not see any traces of the fairyland from the opportunity. Instead, there were many very strange products, which would never appear in the fairyland!
"Silicon-based swordsmanship? Iron man armor? Firearms and magic weapons? What are these? Why have I never heard of them in the previous records of the immortal world?"

The old man quickly cast a puzzled look at his two companions, hoping that they would have relevant knowledge during their long exploration. As a result, both of them shook their heads decisively.

"From these opportunities, I'm afraid this Ascension Pavilion is not from the Immortal Realm, it must have another origin."

Hongyun quickly stated the conclusion.

"Another origin? If it's not the Immortal Realm, then could it be the Demon Realm? The Monster Realm? But those places are completely fictitious!"

The old man disagreed with this conclusion and shook his head even more violently.

The youngest of the three, the black-haired old man, did not say anything, but immersed himself in the intelligence. Then he suddenly let out a light exclamation, attracting the attention of the other two.

"I've seen this guy in the market before! He's actually the chief disciple of the Ascension Pavilion! No wonder I felt so strange at the time, as if I was affected by an external force! It seems that this guy is the one behind it!"

The black-haired old man obviously remembered that he met Wang Zhifan when he was setting up a stall in Tianyun Market a few days ago, and then Wang Zhifan activated the power of the Ring of Destiny to make him a tour guide.

"What did he ask you to do? Tell me in detail!"

The other two became very interested when they heard this, and a possible breakthrough in intelligence appeared.

Then the black-haired old man began to recall and narrate, saying that Wang Zhifan had asked him about the common sense of cultivating immortals at that time, and asked him to introduce the several major realms of cultivating immortals, which reflected a lot of problems.

"It seems that this person is not from the Immortal Realm. If he is from the Immortal Realm, he would not be unaware of this kind of common sense of cultivation. The Ascension Pavilion is probably not from the Immortal Realm either. They are establishing a sect this time, and I'm afraid they have some big plans. We can't just ignore it!"

Hong Yun immediately concluded that this meant that the attitudes of several people towards the Dengxian Pavilion had undergone an important change. Not long ago, they were still thinking about obtaining the method of overcoming the tribulation from the Dengxian Pavilion, but now they just felt that the Dengxian Pavilion had ulterior motives and must be guarded against.
