I hacked through the chaotic world with my blade-Chapter 1562 - 369: Look, This Is the Mortal You Once Scorned_4
"Uncle, what’s wrong?"
"Oh, nothing much, just thinking how in the blink of an eye, this child has grown up and become a mid-stage Qi Refinement cultivator."
Lin Fan is aware of the situation in the Cultivation World.
It seems like everyone he encounters is either in the Core Formation or Nascent Soul Realm.
In reality, cultivators who reach such realms have gone through countless life-and-death experiences and consumed unimaginable resources before reaching this stage.
What surprises Lin Fan is that Wei An’s third tribulation has just arrived.
The third tribulation has begun.
The outcome of tribulations doesn’t appear immediately but requires a process. It might be tomorrow, it might be years, or even a decade. Regardless, the gears of Wei An’s tribulation have started to turn.
In the inner city.
Many cultivators were crowding towards the open space, and all the loose cultivators were excitedly filled with fervor upon hearing that the Baoling Sect was recruiting disciples. Being accepted as a disciple of Baoling Sect would truly mean soaring high, relying on strong support.
In the Cultivation World, it’s all about background, strength, and backing.
Wei Qiu, who was squeezed among the crowd, gazed at the cultivator on the high platform. Although the distance was far, he could still feel the terrifying might emanating from him.
"In the future, I must become a great cultivator like that." Amidst the crowd, Wei Qiu clenched his fist, secretly vowing in his heart to become such an existence. He understood that his family was just average; his father and great-uncle were ordinary people, and his grandmother was a loose cultivator with only mid-stage Qi Refinement cultivation, offering him limited help.
He wanted to change his destiny, wanted to change his family’s fate.
The only way to change destiny was to become a cultivator, to become a disciple of an Immortal Sect.
The Baoling Sect cultivator on the high platform felt somewhat helpless. Ever since the incident with the magical sword in the Frost Secret Realm, Baoling Sect had suffered heavy losses, with numerous mid-level cultivators dead or wounded, even many Nascent Soul cultivators had fallen.
For an Immortal Sect, this was an unbearable blow.
Thus, Baoling Sect had to open its doors to recruit disciples for the first time. In fact, Baoling Sect wasn’t the only one doing this; other Immortal Sects were also following suit.
"Quiet." The green-robed cultivator spoke up.
The scene was silent, not a single sound could be heard.
"Body Refinement Realm stand on the left, Qi Refinement Realm in the middle, those who have successfully established their Foundation stand on the right, and those not over forty remain. Those over this age leave the plaza, retreat outside."
As the green-robed cultivator spoke these words, many cultivators at the scene were stunned, looking at each other incredulously. Wasn’t this too strict? This wasn’t just selecting disciples; it was choosing cultivation prodigies, those under forty with Foundation Establishment?
Then, those over forty with Foundation Establishment were eliminated?
Under the gaze of the green-robed cultivator, even though some cultivators were unwilling, they could only quietly leave.
For Baoling Sect, since they were choosing disciples to join the Immortal Sect, they had to pick the best. Otherwise, if they relaxed the restrictions too much, it would appear as though Baoling Sect wasn’t very strict in disciple recruitment to the outside world.
The originally crowded plaza suddenly became desolate.
Not a single Foundation Establishment cultivator stood on the right, leaving it empty.
Yet, there were quite a few standing in the Body Refinement and Qi Refinement lines.
The green-robed cultivator approached the Body Refinement line and, upon seeing one of the loose cultivators in the lineup, frowned and pointed at him, "How old are you?"
"Reporting to Immortal Master, I am thirty-five years old, at late-stage Body Refinement."
"Get out."
The green-robed cultivator shouted angrily, his voice like thunder, shaking the man until his blood surged and he couldn’t help but spew a mouthful of blood. Then he sternly said, "If you think the Baoling Sect’s disciple selection is something you can mess around with, you’re free to stay and give it a try."
As the green-robed cultivator grew angry, some loose cultivators in the Body Refinement group silently ran away.
Some knew they were useless but tried to exploit the loopholes in what the green-robed cultivator said, showing off a bit of cleverness. But who could have expected to provoke the Immortal Master’s wrath?
Some of the observing loose cultivators whispered among themselves, some couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Truly ridiculous. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
The thirty-five-year-old still at the Body Refinement Realm truly dared to stay inside, wasn’t he going to make people laugh till their jaws dropped?
Suddenly.
The green-robed cultivator’s gaze fell on a young boy, "What’s your name?"
"Reporting to Immortal Master, my name is Chen Wushuang."
"Chen Family disciple?"
"Yes."
"How old are you?"
"Thirteen years old, at late-stage Body Refinement."
The green-robed cultivator nodded with great satisfaction, very good, indeed very good.
Not far away, Ni Zhen was smiling proudly. Yes, that’s her son. Ever since she joined the Chen Family, given the resources, her cultivation advanced rapidly. At thirty-seven, she had reached early-stage Foundation Establishment.
She was highly valued by the Chen Family, and she helped her husband start getting involved in some of the Chen Family’s businesses, their status rising significantly.
But it’s strange, when she was in the outer city, her cultivation speed was extremely fast, twice the result with half the effort. She thought she could break through to Foundation Establishment at thirty and get the attention of the family’s patriarch personally, but who could have thought, after marrying into the Chen Family and having a child, her progress slowed down? Even with numerous spiritual medicines to cultivate, she barely reached Foundation Establishment at thirty-seven.
Now her child is even more outstanding, possessed of a spirit root far superior to hers, thirteen at late-stage Body Refinement, nearing breakthrough to Qi Refinement Realm. Thirteen-year-old Qi Refinement Realm, how terrifying, supported heavily by the Immortal Sect, he surely could reach Foundation Establishment before thirty.
