How can simply creating a sect make you invincible?

As the Sword Box Boy became the first to reach the top, others gradually began to ascend the Illusionary Spirit Staircase.

Ye Zi stood quietly at the edge of the crowd. If people hadn't witnessed her performance before, they would probably have just thought of her as an insignificant little girl.

Looking at the hundreds of young men and women, Wang Lin instructed one of his disciples, "Arrange for them to be tested for their talents! Once you have a few hundred people who have ascended the Illusionary Spirit Ladder, you can lead them directly into the sect to be tested for their talents."

"Yes... Elder Wang Lin, we will lead them into the sect for testing now."

Upon hearing that they were to join the sect, the hundreds of people who had just ascended the Illusionary Spirit Ladder all obediently followed behind the two outer disciples.

"Hey, Brother Sima, did you see how furious Nalan Xiu was just now? Hahaha..." Xiao Zhan said.

"Brother Xiao, before climbing the ladder, Nalan Xiu said he could easily pass the test, but he was proven wrong in front of everyone." Hahaha...

"I also heard him say that he wanted to be tested again, but the elder refused outright."

Serves him right! Nalan Xiu is always arrogant and domineering, it's so satisfying to see him suffer this time.

Two outer disciples were walking ahead when they suddenly realized there was no movement behind them. When they turned around, they saw hundreds of people standing still dozens of meters away, swallowing hard and staring in disbelief at the various scenes within the Wanfa Sect.

As soon as the group of several hundred people stepped into the Myriad Laws Sect, they were struck by the ethereal environment within, where the spiritual energy was so dense it seemed almost liquefied. They had never seen anything like it before and were utterly astonished. Even Ye Zi, Sima Nan, and Xiao Zhan, who came from prominent families, were amazed. Although they were from powerful clans and had visited many imperial clans and holy lands, they had never seen such an extravagant place—even the patriarch's secluded cultivation spot couldn't compare to a single corner of the Myriad Laws Sect!

The group was instantly overjoyed: they hadn't come to the wrong place after all!

Why did you stop? Hurry up and catch up!

Upon hearing the voice, the group snapped out of their daze and saw that it was two senior brothers urging them on from the front, so they quickly followed.

Upon catching up, Xiao Zhan quickly stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, senior brothers. We were shocked by the environment inside the sect. This place is too much like the legendary immortal realm."

"Yes, senior brothers, this place is so beautiful!" another boy quickly chimed in. "I feel that the rich spiritual energy here is much faster than cultivating with spirit stones. We've never seen such a wonderful environment before, and we're all amazed. We hope you two senior brothers won't mind."

"Hey, don't be nervous," one of the senior brothers said gently. "From now on, we're all fellow disciples. When we first joined the sect, we were just like you all. It's nothing. Let's go."

The crowd followed behind, unable to resist looking around: sometimes at the eight peaks, and the Wanfa Peak in the middle that soared into the clouds; sometimes at the pagodas in the distance.

"Senior brothers, that mountain peak that pierces the clouds is so majestic and imposing. What's its name?" Sima Nan couldn't help but ask.

"Not bad, you have a good eye," another senior brother replied. "This mountain is called Wanfa Peak, the mountain where our sect leader resides. Several of the sect leader's personal disciples are also on Wanfa Peak, but their cave dwellings are all located halfway up the mountain."

"The other eight peaks are Forging Dao Peak, Profound Talisman Peak, Illusion Array Peak, Pill Dao Peak, Overlord Body Peak, Crack Blade Peak, Sword Inquiry Peak, and finally, Empress Lingxu's Lingxu Peak. It is said that Lingxu Peak only accepts female disciples, but the specifics will only be known after the peak opens and accepts disciples."

"These eight peaks correspond to alchemy, weapon crafting, talisman crafting, body tempering, formations, saber techniques, sword techniques, and Lingxu Peak. Regardless of whether you have an ice, water, or fire attribute physique, Empress Lingxu is proficient in all of them."

"At that time, you can enter your favorite mountain through the assessment: those who like swords can go to Sword Inquiry Peak to become sword cultivators, and those who like alchemy can go to Pill Refining Peak to become alchemists. Each mountain will be led by a Great Emperor."

A group of people followed behind, becoming more and more alarmed and excited as they listened—that was the Great Emperor! Who wouldn't want to become the Great Emperor's disciple?

Hearing what the two senior brothers said, some of the women became more interested in Lingxu Peak, while a few others wanted to go to Sword Peak and Pill Peak. As for body tempering and weapon forging, they hadn't even considered it; they certainly didn't want to become some kind of "muscle Barbie."

The group arrived at a huge square, where a group of people were waiting for them in the center.

"Hey, someone's coming, Kun Kun, come quick..."

"Indeed, a disciple has finally reached the summit. If I had waited any longer, I would have gone moldy," Kun Kun said.

After the group arrived at the testing site, two outer disciples quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother Kunkun, Senior Brother Mage, Senior Brother Wang Teng, Senior Brother Daoxuan, and Senior Sister Liu."

Hundreds of disciples quickly followed suit and bowed, saying, "Greetings, fellow disciples."

"No need for such formalities."

"Senior brothers and sisters, these new junior brothers and sisters are in your care. We still need to go to the mountain gate to lead those who have reached the summit through the assessment."

"Okay, you guys go quickly, don't delay the assessment," Kun Kun said.

"Come over here and line up to fill in your names. After you're done, go over and strike the Great Dao Cauldron to test your talent," Liu Ruyan said.

Upon hearing Liu Ruyan's words, everyone lined up to fill in their names. The first to step forward was Xiao Zhan. After filling in his name, he went directly to the Great Dao Cauldron and stood there.

"You all know the rules for the talent test, right?" Kun Kun said. "The higher your talent, the more resources you'll receive. I hope you all perform well."

"We all know that," Xiao Zhan replied. "Before ascending the Illusionary Spirit Ladder, the elders said: 1-3 rings are for menial disciples, 4-6 rings are for outer disciples, 7-9 rings are for inner disciples, and 10 rings are for those who can become disciples of the sect leader."

"You all understand. The talent test officially begins. First up, 'Xiao Zhan'," the mage announced.

Xiao Zhan stepped forward, activated his cultivation technique, and golden fist battle patterns appeared. He then delivered a heavy punch, slamming it fiercely into the Great Dao Cauldron.

"Clang...clang...clang..."

Xiao Zhan listened intently to the sounds coming from the cauldron, and it wasn't until the seventh sound that the Great Dao Cauldron stopped. He felt a mixture of disappointment and anticipation.

"What? Brother Xiao's talent only gets seven hits? Didn't the Xiao family say that Brother Xiao has the potential to become a quasi-emperor?" Seeing Xiao Zhan's performance, Sima Nan also began to get a little nervous.

"Hmm, very good. Seven hits on the first test, it seems the disciples of this generation are all quite talented." Kun Kun, wearing overalls, put his hands in his pockets and looked at Xiao Zhan with a gratified expression.

Xiao Zhan felt a little uneasy under Kun Kun's gaze, and his anus involuntarily clenched a little tighter.

"Senior Brother Kun Kun, am I now considered an inner disciple?"

"Of course you count! From now on, you'll be an inner disciple of the Myriad Laws Sect. Stand behind me for now."

Upon hearing Kun Kun's words, Xiao Zhan squeezed his legs together and carefully walked behind Kun Kun.

"What's wrong with your legs? Why do you walk so strangely?" Kun Kun asked.

"No, it's nothing, Senior Brother Kun Kun," Xiao Zhan said somewhat awkwardly. "I was just too nervous, so my legs are a little numb."

"It's alright, just wait behind me."
