Chapter 1 Rebirth

  "What projects will be participating in the general election?" Chen Xuan asked further.

  "There are three levels to participate in the grand election. The first two levels have already been passed by you, actually. The first level requires participants to be under 18 years old and have a true strength of at least seventh-grade in the back day, which you have met. The second level is a trial, where everyone will fight against puppets of their own level, and only those who defeat their opponents can pass the second level, which shouldn't be a problem for you either."

  "What is called a puppet is actually a wooden man made by the sect itself, and most of its strength is between 7th to 9th grade. If you have reached the spiritual martial realm, you can directly skip the first two levels and enter the third level. The difficulty of the third level is relatively high, challenging opponents who are one level higher than yourself. Every year, many people are screened out in this way, but as long as the contestant can persist for ten moves, they can pass. However, the difference between each grade is like heaven and earth, so those who can join Danxuan Sect are all top-notch talents."

  Pei Wenliang roughly told Chen Xuan all the things to pay attention to when participating in the sect's grand election, and Chen Xuan also had a general understanding of the grand election. It was actually just survival of the fittest, eliminating those without potential and leaving only the elite. Only now did Chen Xuan understand why the four major heavenly kingdoms' sects were the strongest, because they would rather have fewer but better members, and only in this way could they maintain their strength.

  "We haven't introduced our situation to you yet. The four of us are from Lian Shan Peak, and we are all inner disciples. Only those who reach the Spiritual Warrior Realm can automatically advance to become inner disciples, and the treatment they receive is different from that of outer disciples. The place where they cultivate is also different. All of this will be clear once you join our sect."

  Several people finished their meal and returned to their own rooms. After returning to his room, Chen Xuan took a hot bath, feeling refreshed all over. For the next period of time, Chen Xuan thought he should cultivate properly. This month's time was almost spent on traveling, with no time for cultivation at all. Chen Xuan felt that his dantian's true energy might completely transform into spiritual energy at any moment.

  A night's time was spent in dull and tedious cultivation.

  The next day, several people rushed along the road in a hurry, but not as urgent as before. Along the way, they chatted and laughed.

  "There is a fight in front."

  Several people suddenly stopped.

  "Let's go back and take a look, this is already within Dan Xuan Men's territory. Who dares to have a private fight here?"

  Several people began to approach.

  Chen Xuan saw two groups of people fighting each other. One side was all dressed in black, while the other side was a group of young boys, with the oldest looking around 17 or 18 years old.

  "Do you really want to kill us all?"

  A young man said.

  "As long as you abandon your attempt to join the Danxuan Gate, we won't make things difficult for you. If you persist in your foolishness, all of you will be killed."

  A black-clad leader said.

  "Why are you stopping us from joining Danxuan Gate? If Danxuan Gate finds out, will they let you off?"

  The boy spoke with a trembling tone.

  "Shut up, you little brat. You have two options: either choose to withdraw or choose to die." The man in black threatened.

  "We're out of here."

  Several slightly younger ones hastily chose to withdraw and said they would go out for a walk.

  "Wait a minute."

  Shi Yuan let out a loud roar and emerged from the dense thicket of trees.

  "What kind of rat-like people are you, daring to have designs on the master of Danxuan Gate?"

  After finishing, several others also stood out from the trees and flew to the front of the man in black.

  "Who are you and why do you want to stop Dan Xuan Men from recruiting disciples."

  Pei Wenliang said angrily.

  Withdraw.

  The leader of the men in black shouted and more than a dozen men in black fled quickly in all directions.

  "It's not that easy to leave."

  Four people rushed towards the black-clad man in four different directions.

  Chen Xuan took a glance at the black-clothed men, whose highest level was only around 9th rank of the Post-Heaven stage. The four of them didn't even break a sweat as they killed seven or eight of the black-clothed men, each capturing one alive and throwing them to the ground.

  "Who sent you to intercept the disciples joining Danxuan Gate?"

  These people's faces are unfamiliar, this time it should be an action against Dan Xuan Gate.

  "Come on, who exactly sent you?"

  The remaining four people looked at each other, firmed up their eyes, fell down one after another, and black blood flowed from the corners of their mouths.

  "They killed themselves."

  "I didn't expect their organization to be so tight-lipped, not even revealing a word after death; our footsteps quickened, hurrying to report the matter to the sect."

  "What about these people?" Wang Yuqing said, looking at a group of young men.

  "I'll go back and report to the sect first. You few lead these young men afterwards, in case there's another sneak attack." said Pei Wenliang.

  "Let's do it this way. You hurry back to report to the sect and strengthen the patrol range of thousands of miles around, so as not to have another sneak attack happen again. We'll follow afterwards."

  "I'll go first then."

  After finishing speaking, Pei Wenliang unfolded his light work and disappeared in a flash. Among these people, Pei Wenliang's light work was the best, so they all agreed to let him go back and report first.

  It was several people who turned back to look at a dozen or so young men.

  "Where did you rush from and how did you run into the man in black?"

  "We came from Lin City and don't know how we were targeted by them." A young man said, looking at the black-clad men.

  "Are you all here to attend the Danxuan Gate's annual disciple selection conference?"

  "Yes, we knew that the Dan Xuan Gate's Mountain Gate Disciple Selection Conference was about to begin, so we all rushed over together. We bumped into each other along the way and decided to try our luck."

  "Since you are going to participate in the sect's disciple selection conference, then come with us. We are inner disciples of Danxuan Gate and can ensure your safety along the way."

  A dozen or so young men cheered and jumped up, having just been making life-and-death plans, but now they could actually meet a disciple of the Dan Xuan Gate, how could they not be excited?

  "Don't be too happy yet, whether you can join the sect or not still depends on yourselves, we can only protect you until the task is completed, everything else will depend on yourselves."

  Simply tidied up the remaining food, and a group of people continued on their way.

  "Are you also here for the conference?"

  An older youth walked towards Chen Xuan.

  "Uh-huh."

  Chen Xuan responded with a sound.

  "My name is Yī Yún Shēng, I'm exactly eighteen years old this year, what's yours?"

  "Chen Xuan, 14 years old."

  Chen Xuan took a glance at the young man who was talking to him, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, his actual age looked like it had reached around twenty years old.

  "Where are you from? I'm from Lin City. From now on, we're all fellow disciples, and we should look out for each other in the future." said Yunsheng again.

  "Each other each other, I am from Hongling Town, a small place."

  All the way, everyone was talking and laughing, and their relationship with each other also became closer.

  A lone figure hastily rushes in the direction of Danxuan Hall.
