C13 Wishful Thinking
Lei Ao secretly channeled the Zhen Qi in the small world and filled his legs with power. His body suddenly shot up and he rushed up like an arrow.
Shua ~ Within a few breaths, Lei Ao's figure stood firmly in front of the blade faction leader and said to him: "I want to join the blade faction."
"Ah?" What did you say? "
The blade faction person's face was full of shock. In the past, there were many geniuses with extremely high potential that could easily pass the exam, but this was the first time someone as fast as Lei Ao had passed it.
"I want to join the blade faction." Lei Ao repeated.
The blade faction person heard it clearly this time. His face immediately revealed a happy expression, but before he could even respond, he was interrupted by a voice next to him: "Wait, this doesn't conform with the rules."
"Why is there a discrepancy?" The leader of the blade faction stared at him and said angrily: "If your Tyrant Sword Pavilion accepts a disciple, then my blade faction will not comply with the rules if we accept a person?"
No one asked for the majority of the day. The blade faction person in charge was already full of anger, but right now, he obviously didn't have a good face towards the Tyrant Sword Pavilion.
Just then, a woman wearing a light green dress and a veil walked over and said, "This little brother has the powers of the third sky of enlightenment, he should be a disciple of his sect, right? This is really out of line. "
"This …"
Hearing this, the blade faction leader hesitated. Lei Ao rushed up the stairs in a few breaths' time, this situation had fallen into their eyes. With their cultivation levels, it wasn't difficult for them to see through Lei Ao's strength.
The cultivation world placed great importance on one's sect. Once one joined a certain sect, one would never be able to betray it. The consequences of cheating on one's teacher and destroying their ancestors would be despised by the entire cultivation world.
Lei Ao explained, "I don't have a teacher, and neither do I have a teacher. I trained blindly to produce this myself."
Training blindly? Training blindly could help him reach the third level of insight in the Dao?
The person in charge of the Tyrant Sword Pavilion sneered: "Little brother is truly a prodigy. Compared to you, I'm afraid that even the elder who ascended to the Immortal Realm would be willing to admit defeat."
"Little brother, you can't speak carelessly about this matter. The consequences of abandoning your sect are very serious, so it's best for you to seriously consider it." The veiled lady had a face of disbelief as well.
"I'm not spouting nonsense. I've had a lot of strength since I was young. After fighting with those tyrants in the village, true energy appeared on my body. Later on, I managed to escape after killing them."
At this time, the heads of the various sects had gathered around. One of them said, "If you were able to unleash your potential in this life or death situation, it would still be alright. But how long is it since you started fighting with that tyrant?"
"A year ago." Lei Ao replied honestly.
"Ha, everyone, did you hear that? A year ago."
The person in charge of the Tyrant Sword Pavilion laughed out loud: "Fighting with a tyrant would allow you to activate your true qi, and then rush from a mortal to the third sky of enlightenment in a year's time. Isn't this speed even inferior to the chief disciples of the various sects? Furthermore, I heard him say that he was blindly practicing and that he is truly a peerless genius. "
This time, even the leader of the blade faction who wanted to accept Lei Ao revealed a strong sense of suspicion as he said to Lei Ao: "Tell me in detail the situation when you fought with the bully."
"His name is Wang Ba. When he was young, he had received guidance from an expert. Even the commanders in the army are no match for him."
Lei Ao explained the situation in detail. When he mentioned Wang Ba's cultivation method, the middle-aged Daoist's face suddenly changed and he shouted, "What did you say? "Divine fighting immortal arts?"
"That's right, what kind of Vajra Bodhisattva could he invite? Not only does his strength increase by several folds, he's invulnerable to swords and spears all over his body." Lei Ao was curious about this Taoist's reaction.
The person in charge of the Saber Sect said with a wry smile, "Divine Strikes Immortal Technique is the Mao Mountain Sect's absolute art. Fellow Huairen is the person in charge of the Mao Mountain Sect's recruitment this time. Since the bully understands the Divine Strikes Immortal Technique, it means that he is a Mao Mountain Sect disciple and you killed him."
The Mao Mountain Sect? Fuck, this damn Wang Ba has such a powerful backing? Lei Ao's face paled as he listened. This old fogey wouldn't want to kill him to avenge Wang Ba, right?
"Wait." The veiled lady suddenly interrupted and said, "Since this happened in the village, it should be a place where mortals live. Why would the disciples of the Mao Mountain Sect become bullies?"
With that question, Taoist Huairen's expression changed once again. "My disciples never interact with mortals. Even if they occasionally pass through the mortal regions, they would not stay for three days."
The person in charge of the blade faction said, "From what this little brother is saying, it seems like the bully has been rampaging in the village for decades. Daoist Huairen, is there any disciple in the sect who has gone out for a long period of time?"
"Nope." Dao Elder Huairen ruminated over it carefully before shaking his head and saying, "The disciple who goes out to gain the longest experience is only five years. Furthermore, my sect does not have a disciple named Wang Ba."
"He is not from Mao Shan Sect." Lei Ao quickly said, "That Wang Ba saved a Taoist from a young age. Later on, that Taoist taught him the Godly Hammer Immortal Technique."
"Eh? You said that there's a Daoist who passed down the divine fighting technique to him? " Fellow Daoist Huairen seemed to recall of something as he asked, "What's the name of your village?"
"Sang Mo Village."
"That's right, 30 years ago, when eldest senior brother went out on a trip, he was ambushed by an enemy, and then he hid in a mortal village called Sang Mo to recuperate. He only returned to his master half a year later, and the Divine Strikes Immortal Technique was passed down at that time."
"It's good that you killed him. Although he is not a disciple of my sect, he is using my sect's secret arts to bully mortals. If I find out, I will still take his life."
Fellow Daoist Huairen glanced at Lei Ao, but did not pursue the matter of the divine cultivation technique.
However, even if Taoist Huairen did not pursue the matter, some people would still obstruct Lei Ao with ill intentions.
The person in charge of the Tyrant Sword Pavilion insisted that it was impossible to cultivate from a mortal without true energy to the third level of the Dao comprehension in a single year. He even compared the outstanding disciples of various great sects, causing everyone's faces to turn ugly.
"What are you doing?" "We are all people of high standing, yet they are so sincere in seeking a teacher. It is one thing if you all don't accept them, but you all are even forcing them to do so. Why can't you all see others with greater talents than you all?"
The one who spoke was a middle-aged man who was about thirty years old. At this moment, his eyes swept across everyone's faces. His eyes were full of disdain and contempt.
The face of the person in charge of the Tyrant Sword Pavilion stiffened as he said angrily: "Yang Feng, what do you mean by this?"
"It's nothing. I'm just not used to seeing the jealousy of some people. Tsk tsk, the first-rate school doesn't even have this much tolerance. It seems like he's just a kid in his teens. Should I kill him on the spot to make him satisfied?"
"Who's jealous? This kid's background is unknown. He clearly has a master, and I'm just maintaining the distance. "
"Unknown origin? She had explained in great detail earlier. It was from a small village in the mortal empire. The village had been verified by Taoist Huairen that it truly existed. As for whether he has a master or not, what does that have to do with you? Are you sure he has a master? "
"This... Although he couldn't be sure, who could comprehend the method of Qi Refining on their own in just one year? And he was even promoted to the third level of the Dao Enlightenment? "
The person in charge of the Tyrant Sword Pavilion was somewhat reasonable, but he was still quibbling. However, facing the middle-aged man's questioning, he didn't dare to get angry. Looking at the other people's faces, it seemed that they were very afraid of him.
"The third level of insight in the Dao?" Hmph, that's because you have eyes but are unable to see. " The middle-aged man sneered: "Whether or not he has a master is his own business, the one he wants to enter now is the blade faction, even if in the future there is a situation where he bullies his master and exterminates his ancestors, it will be dealt with by the blade faction, what are you blindly meddling in? Isn't it just that the red-eyed Saber Sect has taken in a good seedling? "
"That's right. No matter what happens in the future, it will be the responsibility of my blade faction."
The person in charge of the blade faction took the opportunity to state loudly: "Since this child has joined my blade faction, from now on he is my blade faction's person. I hope that everyone can do a few things and do not make things difficult for him again."
Speaking to this point, it was indeed hard for outsiders to interrupt. The person in charge of the Tyrant Sword Pavilion resentfully glared at Lei Ao as he returned to his seat.
"Thank you for your help, big brother." Lei Ao cupped his hands gratefully towards the middle-aged man.
Brother? The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment before smiling, "You're welcome, I've never seen your potential before. I hope you don't want to walk on the wrong path."
After this farce, the various sects did not have any intention of continuing the examination. They hastily ended today's assessment, returned to their respective temporary residences, and relayed the events of today's events to the sect.
