The victory of Bei Feng and the gang was a surprise to many as most people had not thought they would win.
Many had believed it would be easy for three Thousand Year Kings to overpower a bunch of Hundred Year realm cultivators, but had been proven otherwise. Nobody would have thought a demonic beast could kill a Thousand Year King within minutes and that Yan Bai, a Thousand Year King realm third layer cultivator, could be defeated by the trio!
After the onlooking cultivators left, only rubble and a bright-eyed Xie Shi San remained at the site.
This trip has brought me many treasures! Although demonic beasts cannot enter the Eternal Heaven Sect, these three cultivators can!
Thinking about that made Xie Shi San shudder with excitement. Despite being a powerful sect, the small number of disciples was still an insult to the Eternal Heaven Sect.
But it was not because nobody wanted to join them. It was because of their high prerequisites set for cultivation techniques! No ordinary cultivator could pick up the cultivation technique even if the manual was given.
The Eternal Heaven Sect only had tens of core disciples despite having tens of thousands of cultivators at their service!
Imagine how comfortable it would be for the core disciples to be served by tens of thousands of cultivators!
Xie Shi San could not hold back any longer. He turned around, and eagerly asked Bei Feng, “Would you want to join my sect?”
He already imagined how much glory he would receive for bringing those three cultivators back to his sect!
The number of cultivators who wanted to join the sect was uncountable, but the number of disciples remained at tens. Including the elders and leaders, the total number of people was merely a few hundred.
That proved how hard it was to enter the Eternal Heaven Sect. However, Xie Shi San was sure the trio could pass the test!
Once the trio passed, the sect would reward him generously!
“I don’t have plans to join any sect now. Thanks for the invitation. Here is your payment.”
Bei Feng shook his head, but seeing how eager the big guy looked, he felt bad, and looked away while waving his hand. Bei Feng had no idea which sect he was dealing with.
“Forget about the payment, if you guys go with me and take the sect’s test, I will give you each 50,000 high-grade spirit stones!” Xie Shi San offered. To him, spending 50,000 spirit stones to buy some fun was no big deal, while to ordinary cultivators, it was an abundance of wealth.
“What?” An astonished Bei Feng looked at Xie Shi San, not knowing if he should laugh or cry.
“One must know Eternal Heaven Sect doesn’t accept just anyone. You three have proven to be gifted, so there is a high chance for you all to pass our test and become core disciples!” Xie Shi San said proudly.
“Eternal Heaven Sect? What sect is that?”
The trio looked at each other in bewilderment.
“All you need to know is that once you become a core disciple, your status would be highly respected, and even a Ten Thousand Year King would not want to offend you!” Seeing that Bei Feng had doubts, Xie Shi San quickly explained everything before adding, “That’s not all, you won’t even need to pay for entering the Heaven Connecting Towers, and even if you commit a heinous crime, nobody outside of our sect can try you.”
Bei Feng was dumbfounded with how powerful the Eternal Heaven Sect was. Ten Thousand Year Kings were people who could travel across space in their bodies, and according to Xie Shi San, becoming their disciple would mean attaining equal status to theirs!
At the same time, Bei Feng thought the Eternal Heaven Sect was being over-protective.
Having so few disciples was the reason why they could not afford to lose any!
“So sorry, I have no intentions of joining a sect now.”
Bei Feng shook his head, and rejected Xie Shi San’s proposal. He had way too many secrets, and did not want any to get found out.
Bei Feng especially became scared of the dangers those powerful people might pose after Xie Shi San mentioned how strong the sect was.
“Sigh, I am doing so because disciples of the Eternal Heaven Sect have the right to recommend a candidate for the test in every hundred years. If you ever change your mind, bring this item of proof to the seventh Heaven Connecting Tower and take the test.”
Shaking his head in disappointment, Xie Shi San drew some blood from the trio’s wrists, and dripped it onto three jade seals, which he then gave them.
Xie Shi San had to consider his own pride, so after a few attempts at persuading the trio, he left.
“Eternal Heaven Sect.”
The jade seal was green in color, with a pine tree carved at the top.
The carvings of the pine tree were delicate and detailed, making the tree look realistic. It was as though a real pine tree was shrunken down a hundred times and imprinted on the jade seal! A bright shine reflected off the jade seal, shining directly into Bei Feng’s eyes and being etched in his mind.
In Bei Feng’s mind, ripples started to form as a seed sprouted. Within a short moment, a hundred zhang tall pine tree with dense leafy branches rose up.
The humongous pine tree hugged Bei Feng’s spirit, and relayed a mist to nurture it.
“Eternal Light, the end of nights!”
Bei Feng suddenly thought of that sentence as his face began to fill with seriousness.
“Roar!”
“Moo!”
Han Kui and the armadillo ran back to Bei Feng with pitiful looks across their faces.
“Okay, okay, I know you two fought hard.” Bei Feng coaxed the two demonic beasts.
Actually, Bei Feng had not expected Han Kui and the armadillo to be willing to fight for him till the very end. It was normal for the gangster rabbit Gu Qi to do so, but not for them.
After all, demonic beasts of that level all possessed high intelligence, so it would have been normal for them to avoid taking part in the harrowing battle, especially when the two beasts were not as powerful as Gu Qi. Yet, they chose to stay behind and fight.
Bei Feng did not mistreat them. He gave the two demonic beasts a life essence pill each, which would not only heal them, but also improve their skills!
Despite the small size, the life essence pills contained vast amounts of lingqi and life energy from century old stalactites, enough to impact a Thousand Year King’s health.
