Damn, I turned into a monster

Chapter 249 247 The Chosen One
The uproar in the online world, or more precisely, the martial arts world, over Guan Yu's master was of no concern to Wang Wu. After leaving the examination hall and officially entering the Qionglan Sect, Wang Wu entered a period of intense and exciting study.

"Road to Road, very Avenue."

"The name that can be named is not the eternal name."

“A name that is not extraordinary is like a bell in a vessel.”

"The Way is impermanent, like the light of the sun..."

Three months after entering the Qionglan Sect, Wang Wu was reciting the cultivation technique on a planet belonging to the Qionglan Sect, swaying his head back and forth. Although he didn't know the meaning of reciting this thing, everyone was doing it.

In fact, students who have just entered the Qionglan Sect will not be taught any cultivation techniques. They will only be given some books, which are not cultivation technique books, but just ordinary scriptures.

It was that Taoist book that Wang Wu was very familiar with back in his hometown. Although he had never read a single one, he was still very familiar with the few sentences that Wang Wu had just recited in some movies and novels.

Where did this thing come from? The Tao Te Ching or something? Because I wasn't interested in Taoist practices back in my hometown, I naturally wouldn't know.

However, in this context, this item comes from an ancient book of the Qionglan Sect, and the book is called the 'Heavenly Law Scripture'.

Ancient books are naturally passed down from ancient times, and this Heavenly Law Scripture has quite a history. It is said to have existed even before the Qiongyuan Civilization existed.

To put it simply, this cultivation manual was found by the Qiongyuan civilization in the ruins of a long-lost civilization. It has a long history and is said to contain great secrets.

According to some knowledgeable classmates, although this scripture looks ordinary, it actually contains a peerless martial arts technique, and if someone can decipher it, their fate will be completely changed.

Wang Wu naturally scoffed at this statement; or rather, he didn't care at all.

The reason I memorize this stuff is simply to pass the time, since I'm usually quite bored.

Candidates like them will have a relatively easy period after entering the sect, because the sect will not teach them any techniques, so they will not be given any tasks. Basically, they only need to do one task a year to get contribution points.

This period of time will last for ten years, mainly to allow cultivators to adapt to their place of cultivation and to have plenty of free time to engage in social interactions.

In the world of cultivation, interpersonal relationships and social skills are very important, even more so than cultivation itself and one's spiritual attainment.

As the saying goes, the mortal world tempers the heart; without experiencing the trials and tribulations of the secular world, the path of cultivation will inevitably be incomplete.

Of course, in this context it is called the 'Immortal Realm', while the mortal world is where these newly initiated cultivators used to live.

Only major sects like the Qiongyuan Sect and even higher-level megacities can be considered the 'Immortal Realm,' while places below them are all mortal realms and mundane worlds.

Here, some things are the opposite of those in the cultivation novels from Wang Wu's hometown.

In the secular world, he diligently cultivates every day without fail, hardly wasting any time on anything other than cultivation, just like the preparation for the college entrance examination back in his hometown.

But things are different here; here, you're preparing for the college entrance exam the moment you're born.

No need to consider social niceties, nothing at all. As long as you have enough talent, even if you come from a poor family, the local sect will immediately accept you into their ranks and provide you with the best living conditions. And all of this is for the moment you reach adulthood, or the moment you achieve mastery of the Dao—

Participate in the entry-level verification for large quantities.

As for those who lack talent, they are naturally able to experience the ways of the world earlier than these small-town geniuses. After all, with no hope of further education, they naturally have to enter society and support their families as soon as possible.

This is actually a society similar to Wang Wu's hometown, with many similarities, the only difference being the presence of supernatural powers and immortals capable of flying and escaping.

As for these geniuses, they are different from the top universities back home. After entering, they are not allowed to immediately devote themselves to studying. Instead, they are allowed to play for a while first.

Of course, geniuses like Wang Wu have relatively short periods of leisure time, only five years.

Five years later, Qionglan Sect will assign Wang Wu a master. As for who the master is, Wang Wu doesn't know, nor does he know what the master will teach him. Everything is random.

Of course, if you have connections, you can naturally contact or choose a master you want in advance, but the prerequisite is that you have connections.

As for Wang Wu, because of the presence of the First Martial Arts Master and the other two masters, he was actually entitled to the same treatment. However, Wang Wu wasn't interested in such things, so he let them arrange it for him.

As for what he's been doing lately, well, he's been cultivating, of course. If those other cultivators who passed the entrance exam were indulging in retaliatory entertainment, then he's doing it with a purpose…

Well, okay, he was indeed cultivating, diligently studying and practicing, and at most, he could only be considered to have a balance between work and rest.

"Only those who possess the Way can be called virtuous, not merely cultivating one peak, but extending their influence to all nations..."

He continued muttering, ignoring the young couple in the corner who thought they were well hidden, but were actually completely exposed to Wang Wu, and were having a fierce secret exchange of information. As a monster, he had seen this kind of scene far too often.

At least these humans know to turn off the lights, but in Tianmang City, the demons just find some nooks and crannies that they consider to be very secluded and not public places and start their activities.

Of course, some people will use deception, because if they are caught, they can argue that they were unable to control themselves and did not really disregard the law.

In broad daylight in Tianmang City, such behavior is certainly illegal and disorderly. Although not serious, it will still result in detention and a fine. Moreover, enforcement is quite strict, because if this regulation weren't in place, the city would descend into chaos.

It's inevitable that such rules and regulations exist in order to maintain stability.

This regulation exists in almost all demon cities in the Tianyuan Realm, as well as in the demon civilization of this star system. Although Wang Wu did not stay in Feng Kingdom for long, such a law does exist there.

But there are also public restrooms there, and they are mixed-use facilities, so those places are always overcrowded.

Humans, of course, have a different society and different social values, so such things are naturally a low-probability event here. Even in the place where Wang Wu is currently, the number of such young couples he can see is actually not many.

After all, it has only been three months, and most people's mindset has not changed yet. They are still maintaining their original state, diligently chanting scriptures and studying hard every day, hoping to become the chosen one.

Even if what they received was just an ancient document that had been studied for millions of years without yielding any results, before they were completely crushed by reality and realized their own limitations, they still possessed the pride of being "chosen ones".

After all, who among us here wouldn't be like that?
