Because of the doubts in his heart, Di Jiu believed that after he and Geng Jihua joined the sect, Elder Yu would definitely come to see them again. When he did, Di Jiu would find out why he had decided to take them in.
What puzzled Di Jiu was that three days after the immortal sect recruitment had ended, he still had not seen Elder Yu.
When Geng Jihua boarded the huge immortal dharma ship, he started touching everything excitedly.
Even though Di Jiu had been focused on finding Elder Yu, he had not seen the old man again by the time the ship took off.
The speed of the immortal ship was very fast. The ship would be flying for a day and a night before it stopped at a huge square.

This place really exists, Brother Jiu. It’s like an immortal land.
Geng Jihua, who was standing behind Di Jiu, saw the vast imperial gate and got excited again.
He actually had been excited ever since they had joined the Galaxy Sect a few days earlier. When the ship took off, he simply forced himself to sleep. Now that the ship was off, he could finally sleep well.
Di Jiu had never seen a cultivation sect before, so although he was not as excited as Geng Jihua, he was still very impressed.
As they left the wide square, the words
The Galaxy Sect
could be seen in the clouds. They looked magnificent. At the end of the square was a bluestone road a few feet wide that led to the three words. Di Jiu could not see the Galaxy Sect yet, so he suspected that there was a protective array formation around it.
To his knowledge, the Galaxy Sect was a common sect, so this showed how huge the aura of a first-class sect would be.
An old male cultivator in deacon robes standing on the square told the person who had just disembarked,
All the outer sect disciples follow me now.

When the crowd separated, Di Jiu noticed that the Galaxy Sect had recruited at least 100 outer sect disciples. Although the square was relatively empty, he still did not see Elder Yu.
Di Jiu couldn’t wait any longer. He took a step forward and walked up to the cultivator who had tested his Spirit Root.
Senior Brother, may I ask why Elder Yu isn’t here?
he asked respectfully.
He and Geng Jihua had been recruited by Elder Yu, so the fact that Elder Yu had not visited them yet naturally made Di Jiu anxious.

Three days ago, Elder Yu received an urgent report, so he had to leave with the elders of the other major sects and go to the node,
the test cultivator said casually before he turned and left.
As a Spirit Root tester, he hated cultivators with bad Spirit Roots like Di Jiu, who relied on their social relations to enter a sect. If it wasn’t for Elder Yu, he wouldn’t even have bothered answering Di Jiu’s question.
Where was the node? Di Jiu wanted to ask, but when he saw the attitude of the test cultivator, he realized that it would be pointless to ask him anything.
At the end of the square, below the words ‘The Galaxy Sect’ was the bluestone road. The road didn’t look long. Di Jiu and the others followed the deacon. They had to walk for half an hour before they entered the sect and reached the main hall.
There were already a few cultivators inside the main hall. Although Di Jiu’s meridians were damaged and his mental strength couldn’t stretch out, he could still sense that every cultivator there was stronger than him.
As soon as they entered the hall, Di Jiu felt numerous mental powers scan his body repeatedly.
A male cultivator dressed in a brown robe took two steps forward and reached the group of disciples who had just entered.
My name is Zheng Jinghui. I am the outer sect deacon, so I will be taking care of all your concerns. Welcome to the Galaxy Sect. Before I tell you the rules, I would like to congratulate four disciples. Those lucky four will be accepted as true disciples by the four peak masters of the Galaxy Sect…

As the crowd started chattering, Di Jiu felt a bit confused. He had been asking questions for three days, yet it had been clear that all the disciples who had joined the Galaxy Sect were outer sect disciples. How could there be any true disciples among them at this stage?

Quieten down.
Zheng Jinghui snorted as he waited for everyone to be quiet. Then, he turned around and bowed before the four cultivators before saying,
We are inviting the four peak masters to choose a disciple each.

The first person on the left was a man as thin as a bamboo pole. The man looked at the jade slip in his hand before he looked up and asked,
Who is Fang Andu?

Di Jiu knew Fang Andu. He was the guy with the best Spirit Root at the Galaxy Sect’s recruitment event. He had a pure Fire Spirit Root.
Fang Andu was not tall, and his skin was as fair as a woman’s. When he heard his name, he immediately stepped forward happily and kneeled on the ground.
Disciple Fang Andu. Nice to meet you, Master.

The thin, bamboo-like man nodded with satisfaction and led Fang Andu into the main hall.
Everyone was jealous of Fang Andu, who was already leaving. When he went through that door, he would be a true disciple. Only a handful of disciples with special Spirit Roots got such an opportunity.
The next person to come forward was a Dao nun with a long sword. Her eyes swept over the crowd before she said,
Wei Shanshan. You will be my disciple from now on. I am He Lianfeng.


Thank you, Master!
A woman in a red dress ran out excitedly and fell to the ground.
The third disciple, who was led away by He Mufeng, was Jin Chisheng, and the fourth one, who was accepted as a disciple by He Shuifeng, was Ping Yao. It was just as Di Jiu had expected.
Wei Shanshan, Jin Chisheng and Ping Yao all had double Spirit Roots, including one pure Spirit Root.
After the four true disciples were led away, Zheng Jinghui said loudly,
Everyone quieten down. Although those four disciples have better development prospects, you all still have a chance of becoming inner sect disciples. It is not impossible for you to become true disciples of the Inner Peak, or even core disciples.

Everyone, regardless of whether they understood or not, was listening to Zheng Jinghui’s words quietly.
Zheng Jinghui then added out loud,
However, this does not mean that you will become inner sect disciples as soon as you enter the Galaxy Sect. According to the rules of the Galaxy Sect, no matter how good your roots are, if you have not been chosen as a true disciple the first time, then you can only be an outer sect disciple. If you can’t attain the fourth-stage Qi Refinement realm in three years, you will automatically become a servant disciple or leave the sect.

Zheng Jinghui’s words made the outer sect disciples who had not known the rules anxious. It seemed like they would not be able to relax even after entering the Galaxy Sect. They hadn’t known that they would need to attain the fourth-stage Qi Refinement realm in three years. Otherwise, they would have been way more nervous.

All outer sect disciples need to build a foundation before they can apply to become inner sect disciples…

Di Jiu secretly thought that it would be really hard to become an inner sect disciple. In his opinion, building a foundation was not an easy task. His ancestors had left the Ji Nation to build a foundation without any idea where to go. It was not clear whether the foundation establishment had been successful either.

After becoming an inner sect disciple, you can apply for an individual cave abode.
When Zheng Jinghui saw the relaxed expression on everyone’s faces, he said with a sneer,
So far, only 50-60% of the people in the Galaxy Sect have successfully built a foundation. In other words, only five to six people from this group will be able to build a foundation.

His words were like a pot of cold water splashed on top of everyone’s heads. According to Zheng, if one excluded the four true disciples most likely to build a foundation, only two to three more people would successfully build a foundation.
Zheng Jinghui, who obviously did not care about everyone’s feelings, said,
The residences are allocated based on the quality of your Spirit Roots…

Zheng Jinghui kept talking for a long time before Di Jiu and Geng Jihua received the basic items for cultivation. They were given two sets of outer sect disciple robes, an identity card, a cultivation technique manual for Galaxy Qi cultivation, and a low-grade dharma saber. The sight of the saber made Di Jiu miss his old kitchen knife, which must have been taken away by the woman back in the Big Dipper Palace.
It would take him one month to get his first Spirit Stone. Plus, Spirit Stones could only be obtained through sect missions.
Elder Yu was not there, so no one looked after them. Di Jiu and Geng Jihua were assigned to the worst areas reserved for outer sect disciples.
Di Jiu did not care about his residence, as the aura there was still a lot better than on Earth.

Can I stop by tomorrow morning, Brother Jiu?
Geng Jihua looked around his residence before immediately running over to Di Jiu’s. Ever since they had joined the Galaxy Sect, his excitement had not subsided.
Di Jiu knew what Geng Jihua wanted. The next morning, they would be having their first outer sect disciple lesson, which would be an introduction on cultivation.

I won’t attend the lesson, but you go ahead. I have to rest for a few days. Please don’t bother me for no reason while I rest,
Di Jiu said.
He simply would not go. He had already attained the seventh-stage Qi Refinement realm, so he could now complete a Qi circulation. When he had tried to run a complete Qi circulation with the Major Conduit Internal Records earlier, his meridian healing speed had increased several times.
Therefore, the first thing Di Jiu would do now was skip class so he could quickly restore his meridians and cultivation level.
