But even so, she also felt the cruelty of this sentence.
"The Ascension Ceremony is held every twenty years. Some mortals may have missed the last ceremony and waited until this one started, thinking they finally had a chance."
"But I never expected that I'm already over 20 years old and don't meet the requirements," said Wei Tao.
He had climbed up from the bottom and knew how precious the opportunity to become an immortal was.
But the more he knew, the more he lamented for mortals.
"Brother Wei, if you don't become an immortal by the age of 20, is there really no hope for you to become an immortal?" Yan Ting asked.
At this point, Wei Tao smiled and glanced at her, "You are still young, and there are many things in the sect that we haven't told you. I'm telling you these words, and I'm also telling Junior Brother Liu."
"But just listen to it and don't tell anyone, including the fellow students inside."
Wei Tao took a look inside the flying boat and said.
The Huashen Sect recruits new members every twenty years, targeting all those within its sphere of influence.
Wei Tao is only responsible for Liu Town and the surrounding villages, and there are other people to take care of other places.
But even so, it is impossible for there to be only three of them. Just arranging daily life, driving the flying boat, etc. require manpower.
Therefore, there are many servants inside the flying boat and some newcomers in the Qi training stage who need training.
Logically speaking, servants are not considered human beings, but Wei Tao feels that since they are all members of the sect, it is okay to call them junior brothers or sisters.
"Okay, I understand." Yan Ting said.
Liu An also nodded silently and said "hmm".
"Haha, you know, in the past, not to mention twenty years old, even thirty or fifty years old could have entered the immortal path."
"Ah?!" Yan Ting opened her mouth slightly.
Didn’t I say before that if you don’t enter the immortal gate by the age of twenty, you will never have another chance?
Why are you saying now that fifty years old is also okay?
But this time she learned her lesson and did not interrupt Wei Tao, but let him continue speaking.
"You should know the Blood Demon who once dominated the world and suddenly disappeared." Wei Tao asked, changing the subject.
"Yes, I know that this person is on the Demon Hunting Rankings. He seems to be ranked third."
The "Demon Hunting Ranking" is jointly compiled by several major immortal sects, and it contains some old demons who have been around for many years.
These old demons use extremely cruel methods to pursue their immortal path, but their realm is too high to be eliminated.
So several major immortal sects simply issued a bounty order and made a list. As long as you kill the people on the list, you can go to any immortal sect to receive a huge reward.
"The Blood Demon once massacred an entire city overnight in order to forge the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. Several elders from our sect went to rescue him but were also killed by him."
Wei Tao sighed, "The Blood Demon is extremely powerful, but you would never have thought that he was already seventy years old when he embarked on the path to immortality!"
"what?!"
Not to mention Yan Ting, even Liu An, whose stomach was churning, no longer felt dizzy and didn't want to vomit anymore.
There is no other reason, it's just that the news is too shocking.
He entered the immortal path at the age of seventy, slaughtered the elders of their sect, and stirred up the whole world with his own strength. If Wei Tao hadn't said it, they wouldn't have dared to believe it.
"Then Senior Brother Wei, how did the Blood Demon die in the end?" Yan Ting asked.
Who killed such a terrifying guy in the end?
Wei Tao shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"do not know?"
"The Blood Demon had already reached the Golden Core Divine Movement Stage at that time. He was only one step away from forging the Nascent Soul and becoming one of the best masters in the world. But after the blood sacrifice of the city, he disappeared."
Wei Tao said: "Some elders of the sect believe that he may have been in seclusion to break through the Nascent Soul and died."
Even though the Blood Demon was extremely cruel, when they heard the words "death and disappearance", the eyes of everyone present dimmed.
They were not depressed for the blood demon, but for themselves, for their illusory path to immortality.
The path to becoming an immortal is like this, with a cliff at every step. If you step over it, you will naturally take another step forward. If you fall off the cliff, you will be crushed to pieces.
"If that's the case, why did the sect set a twenty-year rule and not give those mortals more opportunities?"
Hearing this, Wei Tao's expression froze and he said seriously, "Because of resources."
"resource?"
"From ancient times to now, the resources in the world of immortal cultivation have been decreasing day by day. If you start the immortal path before the age of 20, you will consume very few resources. If you start the immortal path after the age of 20, the resources consumed may be ten times that of the former."
Wei Tao said: "You and I are both cultivators, fighting for our lives. If others consume more resources, the resources we obtain will naturally decrease."
"That's why the sect has set up a ceremony to promote immortality every twenty years."
This is also the reason why he hopes to recruit more geniuses.
The more geniuses he recruits, the greater his contribution as the person in charge, the more rewards he will receive, and the more chances he will have to gather medicinal materials before his death and hire someone to refine the foundation-building pill.
If he could recruit a disciple with natural spiritual roots, his merits could be exchanged for a foundation-building pill.
"But how is that possible?" Wei Tao smiled inwardly, thinking that his wish was a bit unrealistic.
The entire Huashen Sect has not recruited any disciples with natural spiritual roots for a hundred years.
He was only in charge of Liu Town and the surrounding villages, so where could he get such an opportunity?
Yan Ting heard what he said and asked again: "Since it is only the consumption of resources that has increased, does it also mean that under certain conditions, the age limit can be ignored?"
Wei Tao looked at him and smiled, "Of course, just like you."
"Me?" Yan Ting didn't know what he meant.
"You are the daughter of an elder. Not to mention that you are not yet twenty years old and have not yet entered the immortal path, even if you are over twenty years old and have not yet entered the immortal gate, the sect will pay a price to let you in."
"This is reality." Liu An on the side sighed inwardly.
The servants in the flying boat work desperately just to enter the immortal gate before the age of twenty, and Yan Ting on the deck is their starting point.
No, before the end.
Even so, the mortals on earth envy these menial jobs, because at least menial jobs have a starting point, but mortals don't even know where to compete.
The gap between people is sometimes even greater than that between people and dogs.
"I will never break the sect's rules. I relied on my own talent to enter the immortal sect." Yan Ting stuck out her tongue, seeming dissatisfied with Wei Tao's statement.
"Of course, senior brother, I believe you are not that kind of person." Wei Tao praised, making the latter smile happily.
Only Liu An, who was standing nearby, could see it clearly.
Yan Ting's talent most likely comes from her parents.
The children of immortal cultivators are generally more likely to embark on the path to immortality. The better the talents of their parents, the better the talents of their children will be.
But ordinary people don’t have this opportunity.
"Except for your situation, if your talent is high enough, the sect can make an exception."
"What kind of talent is required?" Yan Ting asked.
Wei Tao replied: "For those with dual spiritual roots, the age limit can be relaxed to between 20 and 40 years old."
"The specific length of time to relax the limit depends on the quality of the dual spiritual roots."
"As for the natural spiritual roots or the special spiritual roots..."
"How is it?" Yan Ting was a little curious.
Qianxun 1 ⒈㈣①Э9
The Huashen Sect hasn't had any newcomers with natural spiritual roots for a hundred years, and the most they have are those with top-notch double spiritual roots.
Although the dual spiritual roots seem to be not far from the heavenly spiritual roots, they are actually a huge gap.
"As long as you are not dead, the sect will lead you to the path of immortality!"
Chapter 12: Ascension to immortality, ascension to immortality!
The speed of the flying boat was astonishing, it could travel a hundred meters in an instant. If we calculate it as six hours a day, that would be more than four thousand kilometers, so traveling ten thousand miles a day would be no problem.
Therefore, even though the Huashen Sect had a huge sphere of influence, Wei Tao and others arrived in Liu Town within the specified time.
"Junior Brother Liu, is this your hometown below?" Wei Tao said, pointing at Liu Town below the flying boat.
They were now only a hundred meters above the ground. Let alone ordinary people, warriors could definitely see them at such a close distance. However, with so many people coming and going below, no one noticed anything unusual.
It was entirely because there was a restriction on the flying boat. Once the restriction was lifted, not to mention ordinary people, even cultivators would be in the dark if they did not have spiritual awareness.
Liu An saluted with both hands and said, "Brother Wei, that's right."
He looked down at Liu Zhen with emotion in his eyes. He ran away from home in a rage that year, and he didn't know how his parents were doing now.
If the sect had not held the Ascension Ceremony, he would have asked his master for a spot and he wouldn’t know how long it would take him to come back.
"You and I are brothers, there's no need to be so polite." Wei Tao waved his hand.
His junior fellow apprentice was good in every way except that he was rather stubborn. Although they were brothers, there was no difference in seniority, so there was no need for him to bow to him every time.
"Brother Wei, you can't be polite...Okay." Liu An bowed subconsciously, but when he reacted, the gesture had already been made.
Yan Ting on the side shouted, "Okay, you guys are bowing here and returning the greetings there, aren't you tired? Hurry up and get off, I still want to visit the mortal world."
"Haha, Junior Sister Yan is right."
Wei Tao laughed out loud, and at the same time instructed the people in the flying boat to dock the boat at a larger open space below.
"It seems that the news of our arrival has already been passed on, and even the open space for us to dock the flying boat has been prepared."
Wei Tao looked down and saw dozens of figures standing by the huge open space. Most of them were looking up at the sky curiously, shaking their heads and looking left and right.
At the front stood three people, one in official uniform and one in a green robe.
The two men were standing on the side, led by the one in the middle wearing gorgeous clothes.
"City Lord, do you know the Immortal Master who came this time?" County Magistrate Luo, who was wearing an official uniform and had a big belly and was the head of the county, asked, "Do you need me to prepare anything?"
As for the man in the green robe, he is Liu Tongzhi, the dean of the Martial Academy and a master of the fifth level of physical training.
In the past, Dean Liu gave others the impression of being a silent, steady, strong man who would remain calm even if the sky fell.
But now he was a little panicked, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
He saluted with both hands and said, "City Lord, the Immortal Master came to visit. Why did he choose my small martial arts academy? What is the explanation? Please tell me clearly."
Liu Tongzhi had certainly experienced the Immortal Ascension Ceremony that was held every twenty years, but no matter what he had experienced or according to the previous rules, the Immortal Master would go directly to the City Lord's Mansion when he arrived, and it would be impossible for him to come to his martial arts academy.
But not long ago he received news from the City Lord's Mansion that the Immortal Master would come directly to him, and asked him to clear out a piece of land and prepare to welcome him.
This unexpected thing made him feel a little uneasy.
The middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes standing in the middle slowly said, "Don't worry, the two of you will be down soon."
"As for the preparations, how about the banquet prepared by Hexianju?" He looked at Magistrate Luo and asked.
County Magistrate Luo quickly replied, "We have already prepared everything, and the chefs involved in the banquet are the best in the county."
"Yeah." The gorgeously dressed middle-aged man nodded.
His name is He Wei. He is the local city lord and also an outer disciple of Huashen Sect.
The power of the Huashen Sect is extremely huge, and the area within a radius of ten thousand miles is covered by its influence.
What a vast land this is!
In this vast land, Huashen Sect is the only heaven.
However, this land has never cared about the affairs of the mortal world. Whether mortals in the land fight and die or dynasties change, as long as there is no large-scale death, it is not a big deal.
There are hundreds of thousands of outer disciples in Huashen Sect. Even with the power of Huashen Sect, it is impossible to keep supporting these people for free.
Therefore, every year, Huashen Sect would clean out some disciples who had no potential and were too old. These disciples were all those who had entered the immortal gate and were not ordinary people. It was a hassle for Huashen Sect to arrange a future for them.
Later, an elder suggested that these disciples should simply go to the mortal world to manage mortal affairs. Once this idea was proposed, it was immediately adopted.
After all, the Huashen Sect's sphere of influence is so vast, and there is no telling how many mortal kingdoms it has under its jurisdiction. It would be more than enough to arrange one in each city.
He Wei is such a person.
