Six Realms Immortal Emperor

Chapter 20 First Arrival at the Sect

Without horses for transportation, they had to fend for themselves until they could buy one. Dongfang Siyu was fine, but Xu Jingtian and his companion suffered greatly, often exhausting themselves trying to keep up with Dongfang Siyu's pace.

Fortunately, within a few days, they bought suitable horses in a bustling town. The journey was uneventful, and after more than ten days, the three finally saw a majestic mountain.

What a majestic mountain range! The mountains stretch endlessly, one after another, like waves crashing on the sea, displaying a dense array of peaks and troughs. A gust of wind blows, and the azure mountains rise and fall like ocean waves, stretching endlessly to the distant horizon, disappearing into the misty depths.

Among those continuous mountain ranges, towering peaks rise straight as arrows, some covered with wildflowers and dotted with numerous palaces.

Countless waterfalls, some thousands of feet high, cascade down from the mountain peaks, resembling countless jade dragons.

Seeing the two gazing in awe at the mountains, Dongfang Siyu pointed to a towering peak that seemed to pierce the clouds and said dismissively, "That's where the Brahma Sect's headquarters is located. We can dismount here and walk along the mountain path for an hour to reach the foot of the mountain."

"Ugh! More walking?" Dongfang Sixing groaned inwardly upon hearing this.

Xu Jingtian didn't say anything. They'd already endured so many days; who cared about an hour?

Dongfang Siyu, after all, possessed cultivation, unlike the others. They had endured wind and rain and slept in the open along the way, without stopping, and were all exhausted.

"What, if you're afraid of hardship and can't make it up, then turn back!" Dongfang Siyu said indifferently. They haven't even entered the sect yet, and they can't even endure this little bit of hardship? They might as well just turn back.

"I'm not afraid of hardship, I'm not afraid of hardship!" Dongfang Sixing said repeatedly.

Throughout the journey, Dongfang Siyu remained indifferent to the two, and Dongfang Sixing, unaware of the reason, endured the hardships alongside Xu Jingtian but dared not inquire further. The two thus gained a thorough understanding of Dongfang Siyu's temperament, knowing her power, and dared not utter another word of dissent.

The three abandoned their horses and walked along the rugged mountain path towards the foot of the mountain. As they walked, Dongfang Siyu said to Tianmen behind her, "You two are lucky, but don't be too happy yet. Entering the Brahma Sect doesn't guarantee anything in the future. Some people spend their entire lives in the sect and still remain outer disciples."

Xu Jingtian and the other man agreed in unison. Their opportunity to be here was entirely thanks to this young lady; they would certainly have to rely on her in the future within the Brahma Sect.

Now that Dongfang Sixing had this opportunity, he cautiously said, "Thank you for your guidance, Miss. I will need your help in my cultivation within the sect in the future."

Dongfang Siyu glanced back at Xu Jingtian before letting out a cold snort and saying, "Here, it's not just about arduous cultivation; it also depends on one's luck, aptitude, and comprehension. These are all innate; no one can help you, and even if they wanted to, they couldn't."

These words seemed to be specifically addressed to Xu Jingtian, making him feel particularly uncomfortable. However, he pretended that nothing had happened and just kept his head down and continued on his way.

"Furthermore, there are many types of outer disciples in a sect. When you first enter the sect, you usually have to start from the bottom, either guarding the sect's herb garden, gathering spiritual herbs all over the mountains, or adding firewood to the alchemy fire. Unless you have exceptionally outstanding talent, you will be accepted as a disciple by some of the sect's elders who will teach you cultivation techniques, and then becoming an inner disciple will be just around the corner. If you cultivate well and are noticed by the Grand Elder, you will even have the opportunity to become a true disciple." Dongfang Siyu continued, her tone full of pride.

Dongfang Sixing, who was very good at reading people's expressions, quickly flattered her, saying, "I suppose the young lady must have been favored by some elder to be promoted to an inner disciple, right?"

Dongfang Siyu then revealed a slight smile and said, "That's right, the Transmission Elders don't accept just anyone. They have very strict requirements for accepting disciples, focusing on whether they have an affinity for immortality. If someone has no merits and is also foolish and ignorant, they definitely have no hope."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Sixing gave Xu Jingtian a deep look, his eyes revealing contempt. He smiled but remained silent.

Xu Jingtian knew perfectly well what he meant, knowing that Dongfang Sixing had always looked down on him. He thought to himself, "Don't get cocky. In terms of talent, I'm no worse than you; in terms of cultivation, I can definitely endure more hardship; in terms of intelligence, I'm certainly no less capable than you; in every way, I'm no worse than you!"

Dongfang Siyu rolled her eyes at Xu Jingtian again, and said in a low voice, "Later, the sect will send someone to pick you up. We are from the Dongfang family, and we are different from ordinary disciples. You must not say anything carelessly, and do not make a fuss. You must bring honor to the Dongfang family, and don't let others laugh at you!" She spoke the last few words with a stern tone.

"Yes!" Xu Jingtian and the other man became a little nervous after hearing what Dongfang Siyu said, and hurriedly nodded.

As she spoke, she took out a small wooden sign from her chest and waved it at the mountains.

Before long, the mountain air surged and rapidly parted to both sides. A sword light flashed through the air like lightning, and when the sword light dissipated, a young man in white stood on the ground.

He wore a white Taoist robe with a blue bird-patterned gold belt around his waist. His hair was jet black, his figure was tall and slender, and his eyes held a cold indifference. He was truly an extraordinary man with an imposing presence.

This is the legendary immortal?!

Upon seeing that the young man, despite his young age, could fly on a sword, Xu Jingtian and his companion were filled with fervent excitement. Had Dongfang Siyu not given them instructions beforehand, they would have shouted with joy.

The young man in white had bright, piercing eyes and exuded an elegant and extraordinary aura. He first noticed the young and beautiful Dongfang Siyu, and his eyes immediately lit up as he said with great enthusiasm, "Oh, it's Junior Sister Siyu. Why did you only arrive today? It's a pity you missed the day for selecting outer disciples. It must have been a very tiring journey since we last met!"

A flicker of disgust crossed Dongfang Siyu's mind. She herself had only recently been promoted to an inner disciple, and this Senior Brother Yan Gang possessed astonishing cultivation, making him exceptionally powerful among the inner disciples. There was no need for him to be so enthusiastic towards her. In her understanding, Senior Brother Yan Gang's friendliness was definitely not for any good reason.

But she was too embarrassed to show it, and said in a lukewarm tone, "Reporting to Senior Brother Yan Gang, apart from encountering a few petty thieves and losing one disciple on the way, everything else went smoothly." Pointing to Xu Jingtian and the other person, she introduced, "These are the two spots for my residence."

It turns out that the young man in white is named Yan Gang. Xu Jingtian thought to himself, it seems that Dongfang Siyu is very popular in the sect, even the disciples with high cultivation levels are fond of her.

The young man in white, with an arrogant expression, coldly swept his gaze over Xu Jingtian and the other man.

"Greetings, Immortal!" Xu Jingtian and the other person quickly bowed to him.

The young man in white paid them no attention, merely glancing at them casually before saying with a disdainful expression, "It's them?"

Xu Jingtian felt as if his entire body had been seen through as he was swept by that gaze, making him extremely uncomfortable. He then realized that the Taoist immortals were indeed powerful; even a simple glance from them should not be underestimated.

Dongfang Siyu said, "That's right, these two are the clansmen recommended by the Dongfang family, and their martial arts are currently at the third level of the physical body realm."

The young man frowned, but quickly relaxed, asking with concern, "The people Junior Sister brought are indeed all quite remarkable. Junior Sister just mentioned losing a disciple; they certainly aren't ordinary petty thieves. Who dared to lay a hand on my Junior Sister Siyu? If I find out, I'll tear them apart!"

Dongfang Siyu clearly didn't want to talk about this matter too much, but she was helpless against his friendly attitude. She frowned and replied, "Replying to Senior Brother Yan Gang, it was due to the negligence of our clansmen that the thief had the opportunity to take advantage of us. This matter is not worth mentioning."

Then, a rare smile appeared on her lips as she softly said, "The two of them missed the outer disciple selection. They'll have to rely on Senior Brother Yan Gang's help to see if they can participate in the final selection rounds."

It turns out that this selection of outer disciples wasn't limited to the Dongfang family; other families that had been promoted to inner disciples also had the opportunity to nominate three candidates. However, these disciples were all selected from the secular world, and their physical qualities and talents varied greatly; some were not suitable for cultivation within the sect.

The Brahma Sect first needs to conduct an initial selection of these outer disciples. Only those disciples with exceptional talent and outstanding conditions will be selected by the Transmission Elders for training and to serve as the sect's future foundation.

Due to a minor mishap, Dongfang Siyu and her group, despite their best efforts, still missed the day of the sect selection.

Yan Gang was indeed pleased to see Dongfang Siyu smiling. He patted his chest and said proudly, "It's just a matter of making a trip and saying a few words. I'll take care of it!" He then laughed and said, "I knew it. No matter how petty the thief is, he'll be scared out of his wits and run for his life when he sees our Brahma Sect's Junior Sister Siyu."

Dongfang Siyu said shyly, "Senior Brother Yan Gang is joking. I'm not that scary!"

Yan Gang laughed awkwardly, "Oh, I misspoke."

Dongfang Siyu was too lazy to pay attention to him, so she said, "Then thank you very much, Senior Brother Yan Gang, for taking the two of you up the mountain. I won't bother you any longer and will take my leave first."
