Chapter Fifty-Four: Chivalrous Justice Gate

  The Innately Strong Ones are a handful of strong individuals standing at the pinnacle of the world. Even in the Three Great Martial Sacred Lands like the Ancient Yue Sect, they can be counted on one's fingers. The Innately Strong Ones within the Ancient Yue Sect are either traveling the world or exploring ancient forbidden lands, or else they are in seclusion, cultivating and striving to ascend to an even higher level.

  At this time, in the ancient Yue Sect, the two great pre-heavenly strongmen guarding the sect were Lü Yidao and Kong Xueren. These two great pre-heavenly strongmen absolutely could not leave the sect at the same time. Otherwise, if an enemy's pre-heavenly strongman broke into the ancient Yue Sect, it would be a huge disaster for the ancient Yue Sect.

  Lü Yidao and Kong Xueren were at a stalemate, neither willing to give in. If either of them made contact with Su Han first, the probability that Su Han would choose the other as his master would increase.

  After a brief stalemate, Lü Yidao immediately said: "Forget it, old ghost Kong. Since that's the case, let our disciples take action instead. This way, no matter whose disciple invites him over, we won't spoil the harmony between us."

  Kong Xue nodded slightly: "Good!"

  Lü Yidao held a black talisman in his hand, and the black talisman suddenly burst into flames, turning into a black light that shot up into the sky and directly entered the gate of Guyue Sect.

  Before long, a thirty-zhang-long, mysterious aura-filled, double-winged wooden warship flew out of the sky.

  "What is this?"

  "A ship that can fly in the sky!! In this world, there is actually a ship that can fly in the sky, I've never seen it before."

  “……”

  Looking at the flying ship soaring in the sky, most of the martial arts geniuses below showed a hint of astonishment in their eyes. It was the first time they had seen a building that could fly in the sky since they were born.

  "Look at that flying ship in the sky, Flying Spirit Ship, Lü Old Ghost, you're actually willing to bring out this kind of treasure."

  That flying spirit boat was a treasure obtained by Lü Yidao when he was young and explored the ruins of an ancient powerful being. There were only a few in the entire Guyue Sect. Lü Yidao cherished it so much that he wouldn't easily show it to others, but this time, for the sake of recruiting disciples, he even took out this extremely precious flying spirit boat, obviously determined to get Su Hanzhi.

  Kong Xueren's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he also took out a transmission talisman to burn it. A black light suddenly shot up and flew into the mountain gate of Guyue Sect.

  Before long, a giant python with a body length of over ten zhang, covered in silver scales and exuding an aura of powerful pressure, flew out from the mountain gate of Guyue Sect.

  Lü Yidao gazed up at the silver giant python in the sky, a complex expression flashing across his eyes: "Silver Scales Heavenly Python, Old Devil Kong, you've finally cultivated it into a pre-heavenly demonic beast."

  That Silver Scaled Heaven Python was a young Kong Xue's accidental acquisition of a demon beast egg, the Silver Scaled Heaven Python. After decades of careful cultivation, this Silver Scaled Heaven Python was finally cultivated into a congenital demon beast. With this Silver Scaled Heaven Python as his helper, Kong Xue became equivalent to having a congenital level strong helper. This way, his strength in the ancient Yue Sect could also rank among the top five.

  Su Han naturally did not know that for his sake, a great commotion had been stirred up on Mount Gu Yue. He knew that his resolute departure from the mountain would likely enrage the Gu Yue Sect, so as soon as he left the mountain, he immediately jumped into a river and flowed downstream, following the river to a distant place.

  After a while, Gu Yue's disciples soon found the river where Su Han had jumped in, but the river was vast and they quickly lost track of Su Han.

  There are nine sacred places of martial arts in the world, and three of them are located within the territory of the Great Flame Empire. They are the Luo Shan Sect, which ranks first in overall strength, the Guyue Sect, which ranks second in overall strength, and the Xiaoyi Gate, which ranks third in overall strength.

  The Xiaoyi Gate is located in the Lingyun Mountains, also a super-large sect that has been passed down for thousands of years. The strong people in the gate are like clouds, and their reputation is far-reaching.

  The grand recruitment ceremony of the Xiaoyi Gate was a month later than that of the Guyue Sect, but when the recruitment ceremony began, there were also crowds of people in front of the mountain gate of the Xiaoyi Gate.

  "Fourfold condensation boundary in two days, unqualified, next one!!"

  By a test of bluestone pillar, a disciple wearing a heroic gate gown looked at the young man being tested by the side of the bluestone pillar and said coldly.

  The young man's face flashed with a hint of shame and he slipped away from beside the bluestone pillar.

  On the square, three Chivalrous Gate disciples with acquired Nine Heavens Divine Realm cultivation were chatting idly.

  A man with a long sword on his back, wearing white clothes and a white robe, with a righteous air between his eyebrows, looked at the young men who came to join the Xiaoyi Gate with a frown. He let out a long sigh: "Alas, our Xiaoyi Gate's recruitment ceremony is one month later than Guyue Sect. All the good seedlings have been taken away by Luoshan Sect and Guyue Sect. This time, among the three sects' recruitment, Luoshan Sect has geniuses like Yuntian Hai, Weijin Ke, and Pang Long, while Qingyun Sect has talents like Qinglian Princess, Lüxue Qing, and Ning Changhe. Our Xiaoyi Gate still hasn't recruited a single postnatal seventh-order spiritual energy realm martial arts genius, and I'm afraid that in two years' time, at the sects' grand competition, we'll repeat our mistakes and end up at the bottom again."

  A sect's disciple represents the future of a sect. If one can recruit many talented and outstanding disciples, then this sect will prosper. If a sect is full of mediocre people, then its future won't be promising either.

  Another man, about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, holding a folding fan in his white robe, smiled lightly: "Mufeng Shidi, don't worry. The Xiaoyi Gate's kung fu is exquisite and emphasizes the cultivation of a strong and broad sense of justice in one's heart. As long as you have a strong sense of justice in your heart, even if you are not talented, you can still possess formidable combat power and it will be much easier to enter the Xiantian Secret Realm compared to the other two sects. Moreover, although our Xiaoyi Gate may not be able to recruit many talented disciples, when it comes to the strength of our elite disciples, we are not inferior to the other two sects."

  "Although that's the case, every time there's a big competition between the three major sects, seeing the other two sects' arrogant attitudes makes me unhappy."

  "Sevenfold Spirit Realm in two days!! Age sixteen!!"

  Just then, a somewhat excited voice came from one of the chivalrous school's disciples.

  Shen Mu Feng and the other two were all masters of the Zong Shi realm, their six senses far more acute than ordinary people. They immediately turned their heads, looking in the direction where the sound came from, and saw a young man wearing a black shirt, with a handsome face, standing calmly in front of the bluestone pillar.

  Shen Mu Feng's body technique unfolded, and with a rise and fall, he arrived in front of the black-clad youth. Looking at the youth, his eyes had a hint of fervor: "I am Shen Mu Feng, the one in charge of this year's Xiaoyi Gate recruitment. What is your name?"

  "My name is Su Han, from the Western Yuan Town of the Great Flame Dynasty, the Su Family!"
