Uncle Zhou, who was standing in mid-air, looked down at Xiao Yuan with a hint of guilt in his eyes, but Xiyue was the eldest senior sister of Xianyun Sect, and her status and position far exceeded that of Xiao Yuan, a mediocre person who had just entered the Foundation Establishment Stage. The two of them were simply not from the same world!
"Xiao Yuan, if you were more sensible..."
"Zheng!"
At this moment, an ethereal sound of a piano came from the sky, penetrating through thousands of obstacles, fixing hundreds of magical instruments, and clearly reaching everyone's ears.
Everyone was struck by lightning. The beautiful and gentle sound of the piano echoed between heaven and earth, as gentle as the spring rain, soft as a veil brushing against the face, which made people's hearts soften and no longer have the slightest thought of fighting.
"Ding-dang-dang."
The magic weapons fell to the ground, and the noisy foot of the Xianyun Sect mountain became quiet. No one spoke for a long time.
The princess had a very complicated expression. With just one sound of the piano, she neutralized the attacks of hundreds of disciples in the Foundation Establishment Realm. Even those in the Soul Enlightenment Realm were affected to a certain extent.
It's hard to believe that this is something a woman of her age would do.
Xiyuexian and Caifengqin are unparalleled in the world.
"I must join the Xianyun Sect!" The princess glanced at the top of the mountain from afar, as if she saw the fairy with peerless figure standing in front of the hall, holding the guqin, her clear eyes looking at the people at the foot of the mountain.
It seemed that she was looking at the young man who called her Sister Xiyue!
"This bastard!"
A group of Xianyun Sect disciples gnashed their teeth, wishing they could pick up their weapons again to continue driving Xiao Yuan out.
However, they also heard that the sound of the piano could only be made by the eldest sister, and it was no longer appropriate to chase Xiao Yuan away now.
"Alas, Xiyue is still too kind-hearted."
Uncle Zhou sighed imperceptibly, then said in a clear voice, "The Xianyun Sect's initiation ceremony has officially begun. Those who wish to join our sect, please ascend the mountain from the Ascension Path!"
Everyone came to their senses and rushed towards the path to immortality built by light.
"Don't rush, I want to be first! The first one to arrive will definitely be able to join the inner sect!"
"Get out! First place is mine!"
"Who else but me, an inner sect disciple?"
"Old Zhu, I'm going all out!"
"Ouch, stop squeezing, my breasts are about to burst."
"Witch, get out!"
A group of ordinary people rushed to the immortal path frantically to fight for the chance to become immortals. From the foot of the mountain to the small town not far away, it was crowded with people, just like fish swimming upstream from the sea along the river, crowded together, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
This is enough to show how attractive cultivating immortals is to the people of Jiuzhou Continent!
Xiao Yuan stood there silently holding the broken sword. After a while, he followed the crowd and set foot on the path to immortality.
Many disciples of Xianyun Sect gnashed their teeth, but they could only watch him move up step by step.
"Immortal."
The princess bowed to Uncle Zhou who had come down specially for her, without any airs of a princess at all.
"Um."
Uncle Zhou nodded casually, glanced at the servants beside her, and asked directly, "Which prince's daughter are you? Why do you want to join my Xianyun Sect? Your Jiuzhou royal family is also one of the five major immortal sects. The Xuanyuan Emperor Qi has been passed down from ancient times to the present day, and it is also the supreme method to achieve immortality. Why choose the distant instead of the near?"
There are five major immortal sects in the Jiuzhou continent, namely Xianyun Sect, Jiuzhou Royal Family, Xiaoyao Sect, Longfeng Tower and Jiange.
Although the Jiuzhou royal family cannot be said to be the strongest among the immortal sects, they control the gentry of the world, are in charge of the people's livelihood, build water conservancy projects, arrange agriculture and sericulture, and establish academies to teach the people of the world.
Therefore, the Jiuzhou royal family has the most important status among the five major immortal sects. If the princess comes in person, the Xianyun Sect will definitely arrange for elders to greet her.
But she's just a princess...
In the Kyushu royal family, there are more than twenty princes, not to mention the dukes.
"Junior Xuanyuan Yan."
The princess first gave her name, then replied respectfully, "In reply to the Immortal Master, I hate the intrigues and factions in the officialdom, and yearn for the freedom and ease of the Xianyun Sect. Therefore, I have decided to abandon my status as a princess and use the Immortal Ascension Token to seek membership in the sect!"
Everyone in the Jiuzhou Continent can practice Taoism, so the difference between men and women is very small. Many women have joined the officialdom, and some have been granted titles and become prime ministers, and there are also many who have fought on the battlefield.
Even a princess with a body of a thousand gold can pass the imperial examination in a fair and honest way, and in the future she can even rely on her Xuanyuan bloodline to become the emperor and rule the world.
But the probability of ascending the throne is too low, even for a prince it is impossible, let alone a princess.
"Immortality Order?"
She didn't take to heart the polite words Uncle Zhou said about giving up her status as a princess. Joining the Xianyun Sect did not mean giving up her status as a princess. This was just Xuanyuan Yan's way of expressing her loyalty to the sect.
"Yes."
Xuanyuan Yan took out an exquisite golden token from her storage bag and handed it to him. He took it, glanced at it, nodded, and put it away. He said, "With this Ascension Token, as long as your spiritual root aptitude is not too bad, you should have no problem joining the inner sect. Of course, the prerequisite is still that you can pass the Ascension Path."
"Yes!" Xuanyuan Yan's always respectful face finally showed a smile, "I will definitely pass the immortal path and join the sect!"
"Go ahead."
Uncle Zhou waved his hand, and his figure flashed by and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Xuanyuan Yan showed a hint of envy in her eyes. It was true that she was a princess, but even with her father's status as a prince, there was still a big gap between her and Uncle Zhou, the elder who was passing on skills to the Xianyun Sect and who was suspected to be in the Soul Bright Realm.
Not to mention that she is not the next princess yet. She has several outstanding brothers and sisters above her. It will not be her turn to become a princess even once in a hundred years.
So, when she was eighteen years old, she begged her father to give her an ascension order from the Xianyun Sect and decided to join the Xianyun Sect!
"I will definitely step into the realm of the gods and become a powerful person in the third realm of Tao!"
Xuanyuan Yan's eyes were firm. Although she was a woman, her aura was no less than that of a man.
After turning around and dismissing all the servants, she resolutely walked towards the path to immortality.
From this moment on, she was no longer a princess, but merely a disciple of the Xianyun Sect!
There is only one goal, to become a strong person in the third realm of Tao.
The so-called three realms of Tao refer to the strong people in the three realms of spirit, soul enlightenment, and Tao rhyme. Below them are the three realms of fetus: foundation building, Danxia, and spiritual fetus.
The title of a prince is hereditary, but it must be inherited by someone who has reached the third realm of the Tao. If Xuanyuan Yan can reach the third realm of the Tao, leave the Xianyun Sect in the future, and return to Jiuzhou to develop his career in officialdom, there is a high probability that he will become a prince in the future!
The prerequisite for all this is still to reach the third realm of Tao.
"Pooh!"
After Xuanyuan Yan ascended the Immortal Path, someone secretly pooh-poohed him behind his back and cursed, "What kind of princess is that? You still need the Immortal Ascension Token to join the inner sect! Humph, wait and see how I join the inner sect with my own ability, and then see how proud you are of this princess!"
The Ascension Order is actually a token released by the Xianyun Sect through various channels that guarantees one's joining the sect.
Some of these tokens are rewards to those who have made contributions to the sect, and some are simply marked with a fixed price. Of course, Xianyun Sect will not sell them themselves, but will let the sects and families that have joined Xianyun Sect sell them in exchange for money.
This is actually also the practice of the five major immortal sects, including many second-rate sects and families.
Many people are not surprised by this. Without a good background, one can only rely on one's own talent and hard work.
The immortal sect is actually no different from the secular world.
…
Embark on the path to immortality and embark on the road of cultivating immortals.
As soon as Xuanyuan Yan stepped onto the immortal path made of light, she felt as if she had come to a mysterious place.
The people around her quickly moved away from her, and the road under her feet became extremely narrow, only wide enough for her to stand.
She was a little surprised and looked down, and the ground had become illusory.
Looking up again, the main hall of Xianyun Sect seemed even smaller, as if it was located above the sky, and ordinary people could not touch it at all!
Calming her mind, Xuanyuan Yan took another step forward, and the ground quickly moved away from her again. After two or three steps, she was already standing in a vast and empty world filled with white.
There is only one path to immortality, circling upwards and made of white light.
"I see..."
Looking at the distant and unreachable gate of Xianyun Sect, and the empty surroundings with only vague figures of people climbing up, Xuanyuan Yan seemed to be thinking about something.
No wonder Xianyun Sect and other sects never reject people who come to seek immortality. Just through this path to immortality, it is enough to eliminate more than 99% of people, right?
"I have been cultivating immortality since I was young. Although my aptitude is not good, it only took me three or two years to break through the foundation-building stage. The path to immortality is just a small test for me!"
Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Yan no longer hesitated and climbed up with big strides.
