My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 240 Unhappy
More than half a month ago,

Wu Tianhao then came to his door.

It was for the purpose of taking Xiaoyu away.

At that time, he had extended an invitation to Shen Changchuan.
Invite him to join the Longxiao Sect.

Shen Changchuan, who already had an agreement with the Shen family patriarch, naturally did not refuse and readily accepted the invitation, agreeing to go on the day when the Longxiao Sect opened its gates to recruit disciples.

After Wu Tianhao took Xiaoyu away,
Shen Changchuan then began to digest and absorb the gains from his battle with Xu Ziming.
Shortly afterward, he absorbed and refined the mid-grade spirit stones in his possession to improve his cultivation.

Perhaps it's due to his transformation and improvement in character.

Or perhaps the previous accumulation was sufficient.

Anyway, in the short ten days or so of cultivation that followed,
This allowed Shen Changchuan's cultivation to improve naturally, quickly breaking through that small bottleneck and reaching the peak of the ninth level!

After the peak of the ninth level,

Next comes the exit from the body!

With my long-cherished wish about to be fulfilled, all that's needed is to take one more step and the world will be within reach.

This made Shen Changchuan wish he could use his connection with the Shen family patriarch to get a Nascent Soul Pill and advance to the Nascent Soul realm!

However, because the jade slip Shen Chong gave him mentioned the connection between the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Body and the future advancement to the Profound Core stage,
Ultimately, he managed to suppress all his thoughts.

Although the Mystic Elixir is very far away

If anyone knew that he was already considering advancing to the Profound Core stage at the mere Qi Refining stage, they would surely laugh their heads off.

But Shen Changchuan believes that people should still have dreams.

He would rather go slower now.
They also didn't want to completely ruin their future.

So he temporarily stopped cultivating.

That was just a few days before the Dragon Sky Sect was recruiting disciples.

Shen Changchuan then prepared to go out.

However, what he did not expect was that...

Just then,
His ancestor sent him a message.

He said that there had been some problems with his mother, but fortunately he returned in time, and everything was alright for the time being.
However,

However, Shen Changchuan had no choice but to conceal his identity and temporarily return to Tiannan City.
As a result,
Even with Xiaofeng's help,

However, this still caused a delay, making us two days late.

"What's the big deal? Even cultivators have to relieve themselves sometimes, and besides, you sent a message in advance."

"Furthermore, although the sect opened its doors to new members two days ago, not just anyone can enter the Dragon Sky Sect. Those who wish to join must undergo an examination."

"You've come at the perfect time. The assessment has entered its final round. Next, you will enter the 'Test of the Heart' with them. Once you pass it, you will officially become a disciple."

Wu Tianhao explained a few words to Shen Changchuan in a friendly manner.
Then he led the way ahead.

He led Shen Changchuan into the area covered by the mountain-protecting formation.

along the way,

Through casual conversation

Shen Changchuan also learned about the requirements of the Longxiao Sect for recruiting disciples.

One's cultivation level is at least the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Secondly, the age must not exceed fifty years old.

Those who meet the requirements can participate in the assessment.

Assessment,

It's roughly similar to an initial screening process.

The first challenge is climbing a mountain.
Climbing mountains should be incredibly easy for a cultivator, especially one in the late stage of the Qi Refining realm. After all, cultivators with magical power are many times stronger than mortals, and some highly skilled cultivators can easily fly to the top of mountains thousands of meters high with just a few spells.

However, as an assessment for the Longxiao Sect, it is naturally not as simple as it appears on the surface.

When cultivators embark on the path leading to the mountain, their magical power is sealed by an invisible force, and at the same time, they feel an additional pressure on their shoulders corresponding to their cultivation level, making them like ordinary people as they climb the ten-thousand-meter-high mountain.

Although cultivators possess willpower and physique far surpassing those of mortals.
However, the long journey of tens of thousands of meters is undoubtedly a great test for the physical and mental health of cultivators.

According to Wu Tianhao, more than half of the candidates were eliminated in the first round alone.

The second and third rounds of assessment were also very similar.

It mainly revolves around aspects such as willpower, character, and strength.

The extremely difficult assessment

This caused the assessment to last for more than two full days.
And those who can make it to the end

Only two or three hundred people remained.
It represents about two to three percent of the total number of people participating in the assessment.

This made Shen Changchuan feel somewhat emotional.

Although the Dragon Sky Sect is newly established,
But it wasn't some makeshift operation.
The disciples selected from thousands of people are all first-rate in terms of talent, ability, willpower, and character.

From this, Shen Changchuan could almost foresee that, in the near future, this newly established Longxiao Sect would become the largest cultivation force in the entire Tiannan Region!
In the blink of an eye,

Under Wu Tianhao's guidance, Shen Changchuan moved forward quickly.
They skipped all those tests directly.

As someone who, even at the Qi Refining stage, could defeat a true cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, and was practically handpicked by You Longzi, this was a remarkable achievement.
Unlike others, he didn't have to go through the grueling process of passing through each stage of assessments.

Once you pass the final test of your conscience, you will be able to join the Dragon Sky Sect.

Soon,
Under Wu Tianhao's leadership,
Shen Changchuan arrived at a square.

More than three hundred people were gathered in the square at this time. They were all cultivators who had passed all the tests in the past two days and made it to the end.

At the end of the square,

It was a white vortex that seemed to distort space.

A group of cultivators in the square were queuing up to enter one by one.

"The Heart-Questioning Pass is nothing special. It's just a passage whose main purpose is to screen out any potential spies from the demonic path or hostile sects, so as to prevent the recruitment of those with ill intentions."

"Through that passage lies the true mountain gate of the sect. It is an ancient grotto-heaven site, which Master has modified. It would be quite suitable as the true mountain gate's residence."

As they spoke, Wu Tianhao led Shen Changchuan directly toward the passage where the Heart-Questioning Gate was located.

Shen Changchuan, who was following behind, hesitated for a moment.

Isn't it a bit inappropriate for so many people to cut in line?
But at this time,

Upon seeing Wu Tianhao arrive,
The cultivators who had been gathered outside the vortex entrance all made way for each other.

A large area in front of the entrance to the Heart-Seeking Gate quickly cleared out.

Ok,

Earth's morality does not apply to this world.
"Go in. Once you pass this test of your conscience, you might become my junior brother."

Wu Tianhao pointed to the spatial vortex in front of him and spoke to Shen Changchuan.

in an instant,
All eyes turned to Shen Changchuan.

Indifference, curiosity, and amusement are just some of the reactions.

Shen Changchuan's expression remained unchanged.
We are about to step into it.

But at this moment,

"We have never seen this person in the previous rounds of assessments, yet he has been able to directly enter this simplest test of conscience. This is a major event for the Dragon Sky Sect in recruiting disciples. Senior, are you not afraid of making the sect's entrance assessment a laughing stock by resorting to such deception?!"

Among the cultivators at the rear,
A disgruntled voice spoke up.
