Chapter 1 Rebirth

  The next day, no one went to disturb Chen Xuan, letting him have some space to consider whether or not to join the Dan Xuan Gate.

  Chen Xuan had been preparing to join the sect all day, and he originally planned to go out and gain experience on his own. He didn't expect their arrival to advance his plans by a lot. Once he chose to join the sect, his family's status would also rise with the tide. This was also Chen Xuan's main reason for wanting to join Danxuan Sect.

  Chen Xuan spent the whole day in cultivation, trying to improve his strength as much as possible before leaving his family. Even though he was a genius, when he arrived at Danxuan Gate, such a large sect, he was still weak and insignificant, like an ant.

  He must refine his spiritual power as quickly as possible to reach the Spiritual Warrior Realm, so that he can have a foothold in Danxuan Gate. Lao told himself that in the cultivation world, the weak are preyed upon by the strong, and with insufficient strength, one would also get inferior cultivation resources, even being killed or robbed of their resources. His own family was a living example, and without Lao's reminder, Chen Xuan had been driving himself every day to speed up his cultivation pace.

  "Xuan Er, have you thought it through? Are you going to join Dan Xuan Men?"

  "Yes, Father, I've thought it over."

  The next day, Chen Xuan's father confirmed again, although he hoped in his heart that Chen Xuan would not leave him, but for the future, he still hoped that Chen Xuan would join Danxuan Gate.

  "If you want to go out, we won't stop you, but once you're out, everything will depend on yourself. The outside world belongs to young people like you, but you have to promise us that after going out, you'll be careful and not act recklessly. Think things through before doing them, and make sure to plan carefully before acting."

  Chen Xuan's father said.

  "I understand, Father. This time when I go out, I don't know when I'll be able to come back home. You and Mother must also take good care of yourselves."

  They finished their meal amidst mutual reminders and Chen Xuan returned to his own room for dinner.

  After tonight, his own life is just beginning, and tomorrow he will leave the family. Although he has been with the family for only half a year, Chen Xuan has already become an integral part of this big family. Here, he has experienced the warmth of home, the friendship of brothers, and the care of elders, all of which have added to his emotional attachment.

  But to become a strong one, all these sentimental feelings must be thrown away. Gathering his scattered emotions, Chen Xuan quickly entered a state of cultivation again, not wasting any time.

  The night slipped away quietly, and a new day arrived quietly. A brilliant ray of sunlight shone into Chen Xuan's courtyard. He stepped out of the door, stretched his waist, and sat cross-legged for a night, his whole body felt sore, stretched his waist and his whole body felt comfortable.

  "Master, you're up."

  Ling'er's voice came from behind Chen Xuan.

  "Hmm!"

  Today is the day to respond whether or not to join Dan Xuan Men. Chen Xuan had made preparations early in the morning.

  "Young master, you're so cool today."

  "I didn't expect you to remember what I told you last time, and now you're using it to tease me!"

  "What I'm saying is true, young master was really spirited today, the whole person felt different, it's a change from inside out, and his temperament has also changed."

  "Little girl, have you started thinking about romance?" Chen Xuan teased Ling'er.

  "You're so bad, young master."

  Ling'er lowered her head in embarrassment and ran out quickly, causing Chen Xuan to burst into loud laughter.

  The time is almost up, they should be here soon. Chen Xuan tidied up his clothes and headed towards the family meeting hall.

  Arriving at the hall, it was packed with many people. The elders of the family had all arrived, and the four inner disciples of Dan Xuan Men were also among them. Today was so grand, how could there be so many people? Chen Xuan stood outside the door muttering to himself.

  "Xuan'er you came."

  An elder led Chen Xuan into the hall, and at this time, all the uncles and elders gathered around, asking about his well-being.

  "Everyone be quiet."

  Four disciples of Dan Xuan Men walked over.

  "What's the consideration like?" Wang Yuqing said with a slight smile.

  "I've thought it through, I'll join Dan Xuan Men."

  Chen Xuan replied generously.

  "Good."

  Shi Yuan rushed up and hugged Chen Xuan tightly.

  "Brother, from now on we're family. When you join the clan, if anyone dares to bully you, just look for us."

  Chen Xuan nodded at the other three people.

  "From now on, we will be fellow disciples, so I hope everyone can give me more guidance in the future."

  "Alright, alright." Lu Feiyu nodded and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.

  "When do you plan on coming with us to the ancestral temple?"

  "Anytime." Chen Xuan said resolutely.

  "Shall we release it today then?" Shi Yuanshang was a bit impatient.

  Haha.

  The other two burst out laughing, hoping to return to the sect as soon as possible. Also, seeing Master Brother washing socks for us makes me feel comfortable just thinking about it.

  "Give me an hour and I'll bid farewell to my family."

  Chen Xuan said goodbye to his family and elders one by one, while his mother Qin Yulian wiped away tears beside him. This was the first time her child had left home since growing up.

  "It's almost time, we should set off."

  "Take care, everyone."

  Chen Xuan waved goodbye to everyone and strode out of the Chen family's gate with the four others.

  ……

  A group of five people, four men and one woman, appeared in front of the city gate, covered in dust and looking like they had been traveling for a long time.

  "We've finally arrived at Feixia City, after rushing for a month, we can finally have a stable meal and take a bath."

  Others also expressed the same feeling, this month has been rushing non-stop, several people have long been tired and complaining, if it weren't for the sect's annual recruitment conference, they wouldn't be in such a hurry, missing it would mean waiting another year.

  They found an inn and sat down together.

  "The young servant brought out all the best dishes and said 'Hurry up, bring another jug of good wine.' He also prepared five of the best guest rooms."

  "Alright, sir, just wait a moment."

  "Wang Shi Jie, why are we in such a hurry?" Chen Xuan was somewhat perplexed.

  "It's actually like this, every year on August 8th, our sect will hold a grand recruitment conference. Even if you were brought by us, you still need to pass the sect's selection process. With your qualifications, passing the selection shouldn't be too difficult. The prerequisite is that we must return before the selection, or else we'll miss it for another year. Today is already August 8th, and there are only seven days left until the selection. We need to arrive at our sect's outpost, Misty Mountains, before the selection. We still have about five days to get there. Let's rest well tonight and continue on our journey tomorrow." Wang Yuqing explained.

  Several people ate and chatted at the same time.

  "Brother, I should also introduce you to the situation inside Danxuan Gate." Pei Wenliang took a sip of wine and continued.

  "The Danxuan Gate is divided into four halls and sixteen peaks. Below the gate master are the masters of the four halls, and below them are the masters of the sixteen peaks."

  "There are four halls: the Law Enforcement Hall, the Elder Hall, the Dan Hall, and the Qiankun Hall. The Qiankun Hall is the most mysterious, only top-grade geniuses can be admitted to it. As for the Law Enforcement Hall, I don't need to say more, you should understand. The hall master is Ye Nu, a name that suits his personality - extremely hot-tempered. If you enter the sect, it's best not to break any rules."

  "The four halls each year also recruit disciples, but they are all of good quality, the rest are taken away by the Sixteen Peaks. The Dan Hall is actually where alchemy is practiced, as long as there is potential for alchemy or disciples who like alchemy can apply to join the Dan Hall. The Elder Hall is the same, requiring good qualifications, but only the Qian Kun Hall, they sometimes don't even take in one disciple a year, because their requirements are too strict, requiring absolute top-notch qualifications to have a chance of being accepted. However, anyone who can enter the Qian Kun Hall is a genius, the elite disciples of the Dan Xuan Gate are mostly from the Qian Kun Hall. You can imagine that the other three halls plus the Sixteen Peaks' disciples combined don't have as many elite disciples as the Qian Kun Hall. To get into the Qian Kun Hall, one needs to be extremely talented."
