Chapter 203 Entry Treatment
When they arrived at Niujiao Ferry near Qihua City, Mu Changsheng and the other two boarded the ferry to Lingshan Sect.
The ferry sailed northward, and in less than half a day, it had left the territory of the Kamikaze Kingdom and arrived at the Huanglong River.
The Huanglong River was vast and boundless. The ferry owner reminded everyone, "Fellow Daoists, we have arrived at the Huanglong River. The Lingshan Sect's Sect Master Xiao and the Demon Clan's Demon Emperor Yu Daoling had a battle here not long ago, which created a spectacle that you must see."
Upon hearing this, Mu Changsheng and the other two looked outside the boat with curiosity. They saw countless waves hanging in the sky on the river in the distance, which did not fall for a long time. The waves were so high that they even exceeded the ferry which was thousands of feet above the ground.
After seeing the amazing sight on the river, Mu Xun began to wonder: "How can such high waves last for such a long time?"
"It is the remaining power of the Nine Realms masters that is at work." Yang Wuque replied: "Two Nine Realms masters collided there, and both of them had residual power left. The strength of the residual power of both sides is similar, and neither can overwhelm the other. They can only keep colliding and wearing away. When the residual power of both sides is completely worn away, the waves will disappear. I have heard that the residual power of some masters can exist for thousands or even tens of thousands of years."
……
Two days later, the ferry entered the territory of Lingshan Sect, but it was still some distance away from its destination.
After entering the territory of Lingshan Sect, Mu Changsheng immediately had two major feelings. One was that the concentration of spiritual power here was obviously several times higher than that outside. The second was that there were too many mountains here. Each mountain was a towering mountain thousands of feet high, and there was almost no gap between the mountains. The entire territory of Lingshan Sect seemed to be composed entirely of mountains.
"With so much spiritual power and mountains, no wonder it's called Lingshan Sect." Mu Changsheng sighed in his heart. Among the Nine Realms, the Tianling Realm has the richest resources. With the support of the Tianling Realm, the Lingshan Sect also has enviable resources.
At the same time, information booklets about Lingshan Sect began to be sold on the ship, because those who took the ferry into Lingshan Sect were basically there to take part in the Lingshan Sect's entrance examination.
As expected, the information booklet sold very well, and Mu Changsheng and the other two also bought one.
After reading the intelligence, Mu Changsheng finally understood the reason why Lingshan Sect possessed so much spiritual power and mountains. The spiritual power was so rich because Lingshan Sect had buried countless spiritual veins underground here, and then used the Soul Locking Array to lock all the spiritual power overflowing from the spiritual veins within Lingshan Sect, so the concentration of spiritual power here was so much higher.
As for the countless mountains here, they were not originally there, but were moved from all over the Nine Realms when Lingshan Sect was first founded, forming a total of 100,000 mountains. After successfully entering the Lingshan Sect, every cultivator can arbitrarily choose an ownerless mountain as his or her own place of practice.
"Each person has a Taoist mountain. The Lingshan Sect is so ambitious." Yang Wuque couldn't help but sigh out loud.
"Indeed." Mu Changsheng echoed. These mountains are not ordinary mountains. They are located in the territory of Lingshan Sect. The spiritual energy in the mountains is extremely rich. Just scattering a handful of spiritual medicine seeds on the mountain will make them bloom and bear fruit. Just planting spiritual medicines on the mountain can create wealth that ordinary people can hardly imagine.
Suddenly, a voice interrupted the conversation of the three people: "Can you lend me your intelligence booklet?"
Mu Changsheng turned around and looked in the direction of the voice, and found that it came from a ragged, haggard man. Judging from his appearance, he probably couldn't afford to buy the intelligence booklet, so he asked for help out of necessity.
"Of course." Mu Changsheng agreed and handed over the information booklet.
"Thank you." The haggard man thanked him in a low voice, then quickly took the booklet and read its contents eagerly.
The monk had an excellent memory, and the haggard man finished reading it quickly and returned the booklet.
"My name is Mu Changsheng. May I ask your name, brother?" Mu Changsheng asked with a fist clasped.
"Chen Qun." The haggard man replied in a low voice, then turned and walked away, as if he didn't want to talk to anyone.
Seeing this, Mu Changsheng decided not to dwell on it any further.
Afterwards, the speed of the ferry slowly decreased, which meant that everyone was about to reach their destination.
Finally, the ferry stopped at the foot of a mountain, and eighteen people, including Mu Changsheng and his three companions, and Chen Qun, got off the boat together. It was obvious that these eighteen people were here to take part in the Lingshan Sect's entrance examination.
After everyone got off the boat, an energetic old man came to greet them: "Hello fellow Taoists, I am Gao Chong, the elder of Lingshan Sect, and I am here to take you to participate in the Lingshan Sect entrance examination."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, the importance of the elder of Lingshan Sect was not light, because there were only three elders in total between Lingshan Sect and Tianling Sect, one of whom was a guest elder in the name of Yi Qianhuan, the patriarch of the Demon Clan, and the other two were the law enforcement elders of the two major sects respectively.
The word "law enforcement" also shows that the elder of Lingshan Sect in front of him holds a high position and power.
So everyone was shocked that they were greeted by an elder-level figure right from the start.
Gao Chong didn't care about the shock of the crowd, but pointed to a high mountain in front of him and said with a smile: "This mountain is the mountain for our Lingshan Sect's entrance examination. The first test is very simple. You will pass if you climb to the top of the mountain within half an hour. In addition, you cannot fly, attack, interfere or help others during the climbing process."
Upon hearing that the first test was so simple, some people present were eager to try, while others looked cautious.
Mu Changsheng belonged to the latter group, and thought to himself: "It can't be as simple as just climbing a mountain."
Gao Chong waved his hand and continued with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone. Before the assessment officially begins, there will be a question-and-answer session. Simply put, you can ask any questions and I will answer them. If you are not satisfied with my answers, you can choose to give up the assessment at any time. This session is very important. After all, as everyone knows, the entrance examination of our sect is life-threatening. It concerns your life and property, so you must be careful."
After Gao Chong said this, everyone present looked at each other in surprise. For a moment, no one dared to ask questions, because the person in front of them was an elder of Lingshan Sect. Except for Mu Changsheng and the other two, the others probably had never met a big shot of this level.
However, the first person to ask questions was not Mu Changsheng and the other two, but Chen Qun, who had previously borrowed the intelligence booklet from Mu Changsheng.
Chen Qun walked out of the crowd and asked with red eyes: "Why did you cede almost half of the Tianshuang Realm to the demon race?"
Faced with such a question, Gao Chong did not get angry, but replied calmly: "Because the demon race is so powerful, if we really want to fight it out, we humans will most likely win, but the price we pay will be far greater than the half of the world we cede."
Chen Qun was silent for a moment, then asked, "Why does an entrance exam have to have a 50% mortality rate?"
Gao Chong continued, "As the saying goes, you can tell a person's character by the age of three. This may not be accurate in itself, but the entrance examination does reveal some things that monks often like to hide. Through those things, we can determine whether a person will have a good or bad future. We want to kill those monks who are almost certain to take the path of evil in the future. You may think that our way of judging is not accurate enough and that we are forcibly depriving others of their lives, but I am here to remind you that if you are not satisfied with our assessment method, you can turn around and leave at any time, and we can even reimburse you for the round-trip ferry fare."
