Chapter 938: Chapter 881: Ye Wuping Awakens (Second Update) Meanwhile, as a large number of prodigies began to challenge the Master’s Dao Maze, the number of people passing through started to soar, which made Wen Ping very satisfied and relieved.
The impact of this auction was better than expected, reducing the originally planned recruitment time from two months to one, shortening by a full month.
Five days after the auction ended, 80 people were successfully recruited!
A total of 23 Mountain Suppression Realm prodigies were recruited.
As for the Half-Step Mountain Suppression Realm, there were a total of 57 people.
At this point, there were still two months left before the start of the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking. After recruiting 80 people, the ten Master’s Dao Maze images were shut down, and the Immortal Sect Daily announced on the same day that the Immortal Sect would no longer recruit.
Those prodigies who hadn’t made it through, or were halfway through and failed, sighed one by one upon hearing this news, feeling quite regretful.
Of course, they didn’t really think they could guarantee a top eighty position, nor did they believe that the Immortal Sect could truly ensure the Red Domain’s first place!
What they wanted was merely the opportunity to purchase the Four-Vortex Vortex Map!
In their regret, they didn’t realize this was why, despite having higher talent and stronger abilities than others, they couldn’t pass the Master’s Dao Maze.
The Master’s Dao Maze filters out all those with ulterior motives who enter the Sect!
Of course, they were completely unaware of this, merely thinking that those who were less talented yet passed the Master’s Dao Maze had immense luck.
At the same time, after recruiting 80 people, Wen Ping began to assign and oversee the cultivation of the 80 people by Elders Qin Shan, Yu Mo, and Yu Jiang.
As usual, the entry-level starts with Sect tasks, then enters the Nirvana House, and finally enters the Fifth World.
If they weren’t suitable for this cultivation path, Wen Ping would send them to Wind Valley to explore the Secret Realm there, alongside Chen Qin, who initially joined the Immortal Sect.
It’s worth mentioning that Wen Ping also sent one person to Fa Yuan Valley.
Initially, Wen Ping didn’t plan to let newcomers touch Magic, as mastering Magic isn’t a simple matter. However, upon discovering the person unexpectedly acquired Sword Control Skill, learning it within just half an hour, he changed his mind.
This person was named Zhuge Tianming, from a four-star family power that was recently annihilated, thus becoming a Loose Cultivator.
Zhuge Tianming merely sought guidance in the dormitory area where Elder Qin Shan lived, staying only for half an hour. Upon leaving, he saw a disciple practicing Sword Control Skill and decided to try it, resulting in an astonishing outcome.
Zhuge Tianming rose with sword control!
Accomplishing in half an hour what typically takes at least a week to complete!
Wen Ping specifically checked his spiritual power, and found Zhuge Tianming’s spiritual power was very ordinary, like most Half-Step Mountain Suppression Realm experts, nothing special.
It proves that geniuses truly exist.
Thus, after completing Sect tasks, Wen Ping immediately sent Zhuge Tianming to Fa Yuan Valley to explore the newly discovered trial grounds discovered by Luo Mi.
Those opportunities inside are suitable for Zhuge Tianming to explore.
If successful.
Zhuge Tianming could gain a secret ultimate move.
If he fails.
Zhuge Tianming would only waste a few days.
Weighing the pros and cons, Wen Ping made this decision.
...
Fa Yuan Valley.
At the edge of a Floating Mountain, Luo Mi, holding the Celestial Demon Sword of the Immortal Slaying World, stood at the trial entrance with Zhuge Tianming.
The entrance was a tightly closed stone door!
Looking at the stone door, Luo Mi, in a senior brother tone, said, "Tianming Junior, your senior discovered a trial ground here and got a Four-Vortex Vortex Map as a reward. You know how precious the Sect Leader’s vortex maps are now. You are stronger than me, and very likely to obtain the trial rewards inside before me. The Sect Leader promises that the first to obtain the trial reward in this ground will get a Four-Vortex Vortex Map! You lack White Crystal to buy one, don’t you? Here’s your chance, just see if you can seize it."
Zhuge Tianming nodded, slowly walked forward, and pushed open the stone door of the trial ground, revealing the bottomless corridor behind it.
"Senior Brother Luo Mi, I’ll lead the way!"
With that, Zhuge Tianming stepped in first.
Intending to clear the way for Luo Mi, and also protect him, Zhuge Tianming turned around only to find Luo Mi’s figure missing.
Of course, it wasn’t that Luo Mi ran away.
But rather that there was simply no way back for Zhuge Tianming.
The stone door at the entrance had already disappeared, leaving him only the endless stone corridor and the darkness of this world, visible only a yard ahead.
"Tianming Junior!"
Luo Mi, outside, was startled when Zhuge Tianming suddenly vanished, and quickly rushed in with the Celestial Demon Sword.
As a senior brother, he had to protect his junior!
Thinking so, he completely forgot about his Divine Profound Lower Realm strength.
Also forgetting Zhuge Tianming was a Half-Step Mountain Suppression expert!
Who was protecting whom?
Who was hindering whom?
