Tsk!
It was indeed a sect that lived up to expectations.
It already knew that it was going to look for high-quality disciples and spirit pets.
It even knew how to deduce cultivation methods.
The sect was indeed not bad!
Ye Chen was very satisfied with it, so he started to check out the cultivation methods that the Scripture Collection Pavilion had given to him.
Great Development System: The user does not need to train, all abilities will be self-generated. Lifespan, cultivation, physique, luck, charm, and so on...
What the f*ck?
It's so powerful?
He did not have to do anything, and every aspect of him would be increased?
That was way too heaven-defying!
Ye Chen did not even need to think about it, immediately choosing to study it.
Suddenly, it felt like his lower abdomen had been emptied, and a huge, abrupt suction force started to consume the surrounding spirit qi.
At the same time, Ye Chen's cultivation level increased continuously.
Early Body Refining Realm...
Mid Body Refining Realm...
Late Body Refining Realm...
Peak Body Refining Realm...
Breakthrough!
Early Qi Refining Realm!
In just a short while, Ye Chen had jumped from a mortal to a Qi Refining Realm cultivator!
That had saved him more than ten years of hard training!
However, his energy centers were still absorbing spirit qi nonstop.
Whenever his realm increased, it would increase by a lot.
He was too strong!
Not only was he not required to cultivate on his own, but his rate of improvement was also incredibly fast!
As expected of the system's output!
Comparing the Great Development System with the other heaven-defying cultivation techniques...
Although the Green Star Nether Record, as well as the Heavenly Sorrow Illusory Spectrum, were both high-grade cultivation methods and extremely rare in large sects, before the immortal cultivation method, they seemed somewhat shabby.
Each person could only focus on one cultivation method. These would be left for them to practice when they recruited new disciples in the future!
There was also the Heavenly Observation Eye...
It was a spell that allowed one to see a person's attributes. It was not bad, and Ye Chen could learn it too.
Ye Chen picked the one with the densest spirit qi among the seven main peaks and named it "Dragon Head."
After that, Ye Chen started to train in the leader's training room on Dragon Head Peak.
Although the Heavenly Observation Eye was of a high rank, it was not difficult to learn.
With the system's help, a ball of light entered Ye Chen's eyes, making his eyes sharper.
"If I take the initiative to train and work with the Great Development System, will I be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort?"
Ye Chen then started to experiment.
...
At the same time...
Outside the mysterious great sect...
A girl in shabby clothes appeared in the middle of the mountain.
There was a bloody wound on her back that ran through to her entire spine.
More terrifyingly, there was a section of the girl's spine that had been replaced by a talisman.
Based on the wound, it looked like that section of her spine had been forcefully taken out from the middle.
Hatred was written all over her face as she gritted her teeth and endured the pain.
"Big brother, my good big brother, hehe... Cough... Cough...
"You stole my Supreme-Being Bone and broke my Path of Immortality, causing all the major sects to turn me away.
"I will repay this enmity tenfold!
"Although the Grand Mystery Sect has declined, it is still an orthodox cultivation sect.
"I must join the Grand Mystery Sect!
"It is my only hope!"
The hatred in Gong Lingyun's eyes turned into determination. She looked at the stone tablet at the foot of the mountain and knelt down respectfully.
"Gong Lingyun of the Eastern Province has come to pay her respects!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the black stone tablet immediately emitted a ball of light. It then entered the space between Gong Lingyun's brows.
The stone tablet was gauging her level of good and evil to determine whether she was hostile toward the Grand Mystery Sect.
After a short while, a hollow and mysterious voice resounded throughout heaven and earth.
"Pass. You have passed the test, and you will be allowed to inherit the Grand Mystery's teachings."
Immediately after, the Grand Mystery Sect's mountain gate appeared in front of Gong Lingyun.
It was extremely magnificent, and it exuded a supreme, as well as inviolable majesty, the entire time. People would involuntarily be in awe and reverence.
She looked up and saw that all of the Grand Mystery's peaks were shrouded in the clouds and mist. There was also a continuous flow of multicolored light, which was extremely magical.
The array was much more magnificent than anything she had seen in all of the immortal sects that she had come across!
"Didn't they say that the Grand Mystery Sect has declined?
"Even the sect's ancestral shrine has been destroyed.
"How can it still be so exquisite?"
It seemed that the rumors were not credible.
Gong Lingyun shook her head. Her desire to join the Grand Mystery Sect grew stronger.
Without any hesitation, she entered the sect.
In an instant, the scene before her changed.
A dazed Gong Lingyun was back at home, and she saw that her elder brother had taken her Supreme-Being Bone with his own hands.
"Is this an illusion?" Gong Lingyun mumbled to herself.
Then, a glint of hatred flashed in her eyes. "Even if this is an illusion, I won't allow you to humiliate me again!"
...
In the leader's training room on Dragon Head Peak...
Ye Chen exhaled lightly and ended his training.
In a short period of time, his cultivation had improved again, and he had directly reached the peak of the Qi Refining Realm.
Due to the Golden Dragon of Fortune's existence, Ye Chen did not encounter any bottlenecks in the process of breaking through the realms. It was very smooth.
"The Great Development System is indeed powerful.
"In less than a day, it has already turned me from a mortal to someone at the Peak Qi Refining Realm."
Ye Chen was very satisfied with it.
However, after the Qi Refining Realm, there were still other realms such as the Core Condensation, Core Formation, Form Materialization, Nascent Soul Formation, Silent Spirit, Body Departure, Mind Splitting, Body Combination, even the legendary trial, Mahayana, and many more.
There was still a long way to go before he could become a giant.
Nevertheless, with such fast advancement, he believed that it was only a matter of time.
All of sudden, he seemed to sense something, and he pulled out the sect's map in the system.
On it, he saw a severely injured girl.
"Oh?
"This is the Inheritance Pagoda that's housing the peerless favorite of heaven?
"How could she be so miserable?"
Indeed, Gong Lingyun's body was covered in blood after being stripped of her spine. Following her long journey, she looked extremely haggard.
An undetectable glint flashed in Ye Chen's eyes, and the Heavenly Observation Eye, which he recently learned, began to operate.
Name: Gong Lingyun
Bone Age: 16
Aptitude: Excellent
Personality: Delicate - Resolute (transitional stage)
Cultivation: None
Constitution: Supreme-Being Bone (already plundered)
Luck: 30,000
Loyalty: 0
A lot of information filled Ye Chen's eyes.
"So, this is how the Heavenly Observation Eye is used. Not bad, not bad.
"However... apart from having a bit more luck, what else can this person do? I don't lack luck here.
"Didn't they say that the one who came was a peerless genius? She couldn't even keep her Supreme-Being Bone, how could she be called a genius?"
Ye Chen expressed his doubts about the Inheritance Pagoda's choice.
Based on the description, Gong Lingyun was just a loser who relied on luck to make a comeback.
However, the Grand Mystery Sect did not lack luck.
That elusive Golden Dragon of Fortune was no joke.
As long as one entered the Grand Mystery Sect's community, one's luck would constantly increase.
Even if it only increased a little every day...
Thirty thousand a day would make the whole process less than a hundred years.
Was a mere hundred years a long time for immortal cultivators?
Not at all!
"Inheritance Pagoda, have you made a mistake?" Ye Chen questioned unhappily.
"You despised your sect's Inheritance Pagoda, and it made our heart ache. So, we decided to work together with the mountain gate's defense array to increase the difficulty of the entry test. That way, you can see how unique the child of luck is."
Ye Chen suddenly raised his eyebrows. That can be done?
Be that as it may, so what if Gong Lingyun performed well and was worthy of praise?
With her spine being broken, it would be hard for her to get through the Path of Immortality.
Although her experience warranted sympathy, it was also an indisputable fact that she could not train.
No matter how talented she was, she could not change the end result.
Taking a step back, even if Gong Lingyun successfully entered the Grand Mystery Sect, she could only be a part-time disciple for the rest of her life.
Without divine medicine to help her reconnect her meridians, she would only be a mortal as long as she was alive.
Ye Chen did not need to recruit such a disciple.
If the standard was so low, he might as well find a random village and summon everyone to cultivate.
If he cast a wide net, he might even be able to find a disciple with good talent.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.
Ye Chen increasingly felt that the Inheritance Pagoda had randomly recruited a so-called lucky child to make up the numbers.
After all, a genius was one in ten thousand, and a peerless genius was one in a million.
If Gong Lingyun's Supreme-Being Bone were still present, she would be considered a rare genius.
Unfortunately, she did not have it anymore.
"Your sect's Inheritance Pagoda heard your thoughts and felt that it made sense. After discussing with the Dispensary Pavilion, they decided to offer spirit medicine to help this genius recover and rebuild her spirit roots."
"How is that enough?"
Ye Chen did not buy it. "It's said that she was a peerless genius. One Supreme-Being Bone for a single dose of spirit medicine? Isn't this Supreme- Being Bone too cheap?"
"Your sect's Inheritance Pagoda rejects your extortion and says not to push your luck too far."
"Then, should I leave?"
"Your sect's Inheritance Pagoda has learned from its mistakes. It felt that it had committed some errors, so it decided to cooperate with the other buildings to develop a constitution template. In return, this template allows the geniuses to be reborn (estimated time, three days)."
Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction. "That's more like it."
Within the illusion formation, Gong Lingyun's body was shaking. It was obvious that she was going through something difficult.
A long time later, she opened her beautiful eyes.
The hatred that she had previously been filled with had been washed away by an unknown emotion.
At the age of sixteen, there was a sense of vicissitudes about Gong Lingyun.
Seeing this, Ye Chen nodded slightly.
This Gong Lingyun was indeed not bad. Her will was firm, and she did not lose herself in the illusion. Instead, she had grabbed the opportunity and stabilized her Dao heart.
If she could resume her cultivation, the future would be bright.
However, right after the illusion was one more test presented by another great array.
Gong Lingyun's body suddenly shook as she felt a powerful pressure enveloping her.
Under the mighty power, the wound on her back cracked open, and blood spurted out, drenching her to a bloody mess.
Crisp sounds rang out from her joints as if they were about to be crushed by the powerful force at any moment.
However, Gong Lingyun did not say a word. She gritted her teeth and endured everything in silence.
She knew that it was a test. Only by passing the test could she truly step onto the path of immortal cultivation.
The road to seeking immortality was far more bitter than this. If she could not even endure a little pain, how could she become an immortal?
Guided by that thought, Gong Lingyun persisted for two whole days.
On the third day, she fainted because she had lost too much blood.
When she woke up again, she was already in a quiet house.
Gong Lingyun raised her head and saw a man, who looked like a banished immortal, standing at the door. He was staring at her quietly with his hands behind his back.
She panicked and quickly got off the bed before she knelt down to greet him while she endured the pain.
"I am Gong Lingyun. Greetings to the Immortal Master!"
"Get up," Ye Chen said lightly.
"I am the leader of the Grand Mystery Sect. You have passed the entrance test and are now qualified to be a part-time disciple of our sect. Do you have any objections?"
"No, I would not dare. All honor to the leader."
Gong Lingyun was a little scared. She did not expect the leader to personally receive her after she had joined the immortal sect.
"Good."
Ye Chen waved his hand, and a square box fell on the side of the bed. "This pill is for you. It can rebuild your body and heal your injuries. Once you take it, you may head to Dragon Head Peak tomorrow and await your orders."
"Yes!"
Gong Lingyun was overjoyed. She never thought that the Grand Mystery Sect would have such a miraculous pill. She quickly thanked Ye Chen. "Thank you, Master, for your gift. I will never forget such a favor!"
Her dream had come true so quickly!
Right then, Ye Chen noticed that Gong Lingyun's loyalty to the sect had instantly increased to 80.
Her name had also appeared in the disciple column.
He could check her status at any time.
Ding!
"The sect discovered that the leader has taken in the first disciple, and it feels that there is a successor. The sect is elated and has taken the initiative to offer the Disciple Training Gift Bag.
"You have obtained the servant disciple lounge and cultivation room.
"You have obtained a Supreme-Grade Spirit Vein.
"Your sect's Inheritance Pagoda has developed a new body template, the Bright Moon Body disciple template."
