All of the other candidates were looking at Lin Lee strangely, and some glanced at him resentfully.
"Is he also a sword practitioner?" While some of them thought,
Soon everyone followed the gatekeepers in front of them, passing through the clouds and river. They landed on the open area of a different mountain peak.
Everyone sighed in relief. Just as they were about to relax, the gatekeeper's voice sounded again.
"Go inside that building; your final exam will be held there." The gatekeeper then pointed at the temple-like building.
Lin Lee and others turned and glanced at the wide building with an open entrance in front. Everyone nodded and then walked in that direction.
After reaching near,
Looking at the entrance written in front of him, Lin Lee walked inside.
Instantly, his surroundings changed. He appeared in a familiar room. 'This is the room I lived in during my first life,' Lin Lee thought, looking at his painting on the wall as well as the LED and computer desk. As he left, he walked outside the room.
Instantly, his body froze. 'Tang Xin'
looking at a little girl about twelve years old sitting silently looking outside through the window, "Brother, when will you return?" She muttered sadly, without noticing Lin Lee standing behind her.
Instantaneously, everything froze as if the whole time frame had paused; even tear drops flowing down the little girl's cheek froze.
Lin Lee walked forward, looking at her sad expression. "It seems this test is about the deep obsession hidden in my subconscious."
He muttered, then patted the little girl's head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Xin'er; soon I will see you." Instantly, everything around him disappeared, as if it were an illusion.
Lin Lee opened his eyes and glanced at the empty hall around him and the exit written on the wall in front of him.
He walked forward and exited the building.
"Ahhhhhhh, damn Huo, damn fire dragon tribe, I am going to annihilate your tribe; how dare you touch my wife?"
Lin Lee startled, halted, turned around, and glanced at the building behind speechlessly, hearing roars from a demon race candidate inside: 'This guy is probably very insecure about leaving his wife at home alone.'
Soon, other candidates walked inside the assessment building; after a while, only three candidates remained beside Lin Lee.
'Why only three?' Lin Lee thought surprised, then, thinking about something, he realized, 'It seems these other races are extremely vulnerable against obsessions, moods, and will compared to humans, because humans lifestyle depends wholly on struggle. That's why they can control their obsessions, adjust their moods quickly, and enhance their will through every hardship.'
The gatekeepers then appeared in front of them, looking at four candidates, nodding, throwing four jades toward Lin Lee and others, and announcing, "Congratulations! You all are now outer disciples from now on. Anyone among you who reaches the holy realm can apply for inner discipleship. Early immortals are core disciples, mid immortals are elders, and high immortals are great elders.
As for sect leaders and ancestors, they are top immortals," the gatekeepers explained, then stepped on their swords and flew toward the sect entrance.
Lin Lee glanced at them speechlessly and thought, 'So casual, they didn't even explain the function of jade's in our hands. What kind of laziness is this?'
"I didn't expect that a lowly race person like you would be admitted as a disciple; you should watch your back; this sect will not protect your clan and race." One of the demon candidates spoke, glanced at Lin Lee coldly,
Lin Lee shook his head, glanced at him, and in return replied, "You are wrong; this sect doesn't protect any race, whether human like me or demon like you. Also, why are you demons so against the human race?"
The demon candidate was startled. His face turned red because of anger, as if Lin Lee pocked his pain point and said, "Humph." He snorted and turned his head away angrily.
"Because humans were once one of the strongest races, riveling top devil and demon races in ancient times, then all three races fought a bloody war; in the end, all three races fell to the bottom; four pure beast races took advantage and became the owners of this continent." An old voice sounded behind him.
Lin Lee and others were startled; all of them turned and glanced at the old man standing behind them, speaking, rubbing his white goatee, and looking at them with a wide smile.
"Well, little guy, do you want to be my disciple?" The old man then ignored others and asked Lin Lee, looking at him with bright eyes,
Lin Lee shook his head and said politely, "I am sorry; I don't want to be a disciple of anyone anymore."
The old man was startled; even other candidates around them were startled, looking at Lin Lee strangely.
'This human race is really weird; can't he see this old guy is strong?' These other disciples thought gloatingly,
Sigh!!!
The old man sighed and waved his hand. "Well, it seems our fate doesn't match."
Instantly, all four candidates appeared in an unknown area, looking at a lot of wooden cottages in front of them, and the old man was nowhere to be seen.
'These are our residences.' Lin Lee thought to himself,
"Ha ha ha, a fool!" The demon disciple laughed mockingly and walked toward the cottages.
Lin Lee ignored them and walked toward a cottage located in the back corner, far from other cottages.
He walked inside the cottage, and after closing the door, he sat cross-legged, looking at the jade in his hand. After dropping the blood, it started shining, and Lin Lee put it above his forehead.
Instantly, information about the sect appeared in his mind, and then Lin Lee's expression became a little strange. 'This is more like an organization than a sect,' then a surprise expression appeared on his face muttered. "I didn't expect there are other continents beside this spirit continent."
The sect rules are:
Ranks depend on realm and strength; that's why realm and strength are not assessed upon admission to the sect.
Anyone joining the sect will be an outer disciple; in order to promote themselves, they will have to show proper realm and strength, then challenge and defeat the puppet with equal strength. After the ancestor rank or sect leader, there are other higher ranks in the main branch located in the immortal domain above.
Only ancestors who wish to use the ascension gate belong to the sect and will rise to a higher rank in the immortal domain.
The sect will not participate in any clan or race dispute; disciples are free to do anything or leave the sect premises without any kind of restrictions; fighting and killing in the sect premises isn't allowed; fair competitions; life and death duels are permissible.
Sect currency is immortal crystals only, in a 100-to-1 ratio for each low, medium, high, and top-grade immortal crystal.
One immortal crystal can be exchanged for 10,000 holy aura stones; there is no reverse exchange.
The sect has a time and space gate, which leads to other continents and the immortal domain above.
After understanding a few more rules and regulations, Lin Lee became speechless. 'This really looks like an organization rather than a sect. Also, what will these other continents in this lower world look like? Anyway, I will find out later.' He thought, then shook his head. Now is not the time.
After a while, he left the residence, looking at the floating mountains and peaks with huge chains binding each of them, wooden bridges, and buildings, feeling the heavy and ancient atmosphere in the surroundings. 'This sect history is extremely long.' Lin Lee thought that more than a thousand yuan, a yuan is 129,600 years.
Then I walked toward a building, which is the main pavilion of the sect; it has everything available for sale according to the information.
Walking inside the building, looking at the staff standing at the counter and dealing with the disciple,
He walked toward a counter, looking at the female with three wolftails flickering behind her. She was lying on the table, head down, lazily.
"Excuse me." Lin Lee asked calmly,
The female fox raised her head, glanced at Lin Lee, and then asked lazily, "What?"
Lin Lee became speechless, seeing her lazy appearance. 'This sect is really antique.' then asked, "Do you have immortal medicine plants?"
The female fox ear stood up hurriedly, straight up, and glanced at Lin Lee seriously. After a while, she nodded and said, "Yes, we have a lot of immortal medicine plants. What kind of medicine do you want?"
"Give me one copy of all immortal medicines available in the sect, including the top one; I also need the roots and seeds of all medicines from 1st order to 10th order plants." Lin Lee requested calmly,
Silence spread through the pavilion. Everyone turned and glanced at Lin Lee; even the female fox was surprised, then hesitated and said, "That will be extremely expensive."
