The Shang Qing Sect is located at the very southern border of Yuezhou. Thousands of miles were considered its land, and it could be described as prosperous, spacious, and resourceful. It was basically a small country.
The capabilities of this Sect were powerful enough to be known as the leading force of Yuezhou. Together with the other two sects, the three of them peered down onto the entire Yuezhou like they were the rulers.
One could say that if you ignored the terrifyingly powerful Clans who never show themselves, the Shang Qing Clan was the most powerful force. Only the two other Sects could try and compete against it!
Therefore, every time the Shang Qing Sect opens its door to admit more pupils, many descendants from other Clans come over to participate. Even those from clans of power would try to get admitted into the Sect in order to receive convenience in the future.
Though every single force has inheritances to give, those who get into the Shang Qing Sect get an extra layer of protection that allows them to live more worry-free.
Of course, other than the cultivators with the extraordinary identities who try to get in, more of those who apply are nomadic cultivators. These people have low statuses, no backgrounds, no spiritual stones. All they have is the heart to climb up higher.
Therefore, how could they forego this great opportunity? If they get themselves into the Shang Qing Sect, then every single one of these people gets the chance to change their fate!
Currently, more than a few 10,000 people were gathered at the Shang Qing Sect’s entrance.
At first glance, black heads were everywhere. The description of a sea of people was not an exaggeration.
What could they do? The words Shang Qing Sect represented power and represented the strong of Yuezhou. Its name was highly attractive, enough to drive descendants miles away over as well as the nomads without backgrounds.
The Sun had just rose. Everyone at the scene was silently waiting with anticipation painted on their faces.
Ling Xian was the same.
After leaving the City of Dan, he was traveling towards the Shang Qing Sect. After three long months of traveling, he finally arrived here.
The body he was in had also changed into the clone he tweaked.
Compared to the original, the appearance of this clone was very much ordinary and had absolutely no temperament about it. It could be described as the type that could not be found amongst the crowd.
This was what Ling Xian wanted.
Don’t forget, he was the winner of the gathering of alchemists and the monster who brewed a perfect Dan. Though three months had passed, his fame remained bright as the Sun and nobody had forgotten about him!
Because of this, if he didn’t change his appearance, he would be asking for trouble. Therefore, he made himself look as ordinary as ever. His intention was to not catch unnecessary attention.
This clone of his made him very satisfied.

Now we wait for the beginning of the test. I wonder what kind of test the Shang Qing Sect will throw?
Ling Xian frowned slightly, but very quickly, he relaxed.
Though the cultivation level of this clone was merely of the ninth level, his real cultivation was of the advanced stage of the completion level. He naturally didn’t need to worry about the test itself.
Nothing could stop him after all.
Everyone was silently evaluating themselves and wondering what kind of test would occur.

I heard the test last time was extremely difficult and only 100 or so people were accepted. I wonder how many people will pass the test this time.


Hehe, I don’t know about others, but I know that the little princess from the Xia Dynasty will pass for sure. She is a Heaven’s Favorite with the Qi level of 10!


The prince of the Qi Dynasty will pass for sure as well. He has a Qi level of 10. The test will be easy for him.


Other than them, many descendants of the different clans are now of the meditation level. They could easily pass any test.


Aye, I wish I had Qi of the tenth level. Then, I can truly be comparable to those geniuses and easily get myself into the Shang Qing Sect.

Everyone discussed and exclaimed over the geniuses with level 10 Qi.
Normally speaking, all those who pass the meditational stage are named Heaven’s Favorites and valuable members to their respective clans.
The Shang Qing Sect was no exception.
From this, it became certain that as long as one reached the tenth level of Qi, he could pass the Shang Qing Sect’s test easily.

The tenth level of Qi?

Hearing all the discussions by his ear, Ling Xian slightly frowned. His clone was only of the ninth level. If what everyone was saying was correct, then he had no way of passing the test.
This made him sigh,
It seems like I have to break through to the tenth level first.

Then, he retreated quietly in order to achieve his breakthrough.
Originally, he wanted to be low key and not catch any attention with his cultivation. But based on the situation, if he didn’t improve his Qi level to 10, he would have no chance of entering the Shang Qing Sect.
Therefore, he had to give up trying to appear lowkey. He had to break through in hope of entering the Shang Qing Sect.
Therefore, Ling Xian left the crowd, and after some time, he arrived before a mountain range.
Because everyone had gathered at the Shang Qing Sect’s entrance, where he was ended up was very isolated. Not only were there no human shadows, but there were also no traces of beasts.

I will break through to the tenth level here first. It’s not hard for me to do that anyways.

Ling Xian faintly smiled and hopped onto a thick branch.
He was right. To be at the tenth level of the meditational stage was not hard. It was actually really easy. Don’t forget, counting the time he spent in the Hidden Territory, he had broken through twice.
Plus, his original body was of the advanced stage of the completion level. The talent this clone possessed was similar to his original body. With his experience, achieving what he wanted was going to be easy, similar to taking something he already had.
Therefore, after he allowed spiritual energy from the Heavens in for a few short seconds, he broke the chain that stopped him from reaching the tenth level of Qi.
In other words, he merely spent a few seconds to break through to the undefeatable realm of the meditational level!
The difficulty of the undefeatable realm does not need to be repeated. Many cultivators cannot achieve it in their lifetime. Yet now, he used just a few seconds to get there. How dominating was this?
Luckily, nobody else was there other than him. If anyone else saw this scene, they would be puking blood from anger.
Everyone else cultivated so roughly and couldn’t break through to the undefeatable realm. Yet Ling Xian did it so easily. Anyone would be jealous and would hate him!
Even Ling Xian himself was somewhat surprised. But very quickly, he accepted it.
Though the cultivation level of this clone was low, the meridians were replicates of the original self. Since his original self was of the advanced stage of the completion level, it meant he had no bottlenecks to overcome. This meant if he wanted to, he can get to the completion level right away!

To be able to break through instantaneously sure is a nice feeling. However, in order to not attract any suspicion from the Shang Qing Sect, I have to stop myself.

Ling Xian grinned and continued,
Okay, since I have broken through, then let me hurry and get back.

He then hopped off the tree branch and headed towards the Shang Qing Sect.
By the time he got there, the test had already begun.
He saw that there were four grey-haired elderly sitting on top of the chairs. In front of them were extremely long ques and every single participant headed to the second table after passing the first.
It became obvious that there were four parts to the Shang Qing Sect’s test.

So it’s begun. I wonder what kind of test the Shang Qing Sect that rules Yuezhou creates.
Ling Xian’s eyes flashed with anticipation.
