CHAPTER 853: CHAPTER 853: CHOOSING A SECT

Yun Shang also noticed Ling Chen and gave him a slight glance.

Then she started chatting with the seven members led by Su Ye.

"Alright, since everyone is here. Shall we begin?"

Yun Shang smiled and said.

"Yes, let’s begin!"

Chen Gang from the Sky Sword Pavilion nodded.

The other six Emperor Realm experts also nodded in agreement.

"Please have the top three from each province’s rankings step forward!"

Chen Gang said loudly.

Ling Chen and the others were already prepared.

On their way here, Su Ye had explained it to them.

Soon, twenty-four figures appeared in midair.

"You are the top three from each province, and you will be directly exempt from trials, earning the right to enter our Eight Heavenly Sects."

Chen Gang paused, looking at the young talents below, and said, "As for the other young talents, you must go through another round of competition. Only the top hundred can join our Eight Heavenly Sects."

Upon hearing this, the young talents from various provinces cast envious glances at Ling Chen and the other twenty-four.

Chen Gang retracted his gaze and looked at Ling Chen and the twenty-four others, saying, "I believe you’ve already learned about the Eight Sects on your way here. Now, make your choice directly!"

"Before you choose, let me introduce the Elders of the Eight Heavenly Sects."

"I am Chen Gang, an Elder of the Sky Sword Pavilion."

After speaking, Chen Gang looked at the people beside him.

"I am Su Ye, an Elder of the Taixuan Immortal Sect!"

Su Ye spoke.

Then, the Elders hosting the affairs of each sect began to introduce themselves.

"I am Zuo Yiyan, an Elder of the Nine Cauldrons Heavenly Sect!"

...

The Elders of each sect introduced themselves one by one.

"I am Yun Shang, an Elder of the Flower Immortal Sect!"

Finally, it was Yun Shang’s self-introduction.

As soon as Yun Shang said this, Ling Chen was stunned.

The Flower Immortal Sect is the only female cultivation sect among the Eight Heavenly Sects.

No wonder, back then, Yun Shang invited him to join her sect but refused to reveal its name at all costs.

So that’s how it is!

Only then did Ling Chen realize that he had fallen into a trap.

At this moment, he even felt a little sympathy for Shen Xing.

Back then, when Shen Xing ran away from home, it was very likely related to this.

No, sympathy is not needed.

He remembered that Shen Xing also warmly invited Ling Chen to join the Flower Immortal Sect!

It was clearly a deliberate attempt to drag him into the water!

But what could Ling Chen do?

Yun Shang had saved his life.

If not for Yun Shang, he might have long perished.

After the eight Elders finished their introductions, Chen Gang from the Sky Sword Pavilion smiled and said, "Then, follow the order of the provinces to make your choices!"

The Nine Provinces Continent is divided into nine provinces.

Apart from the Central Province, the other eight provinces are Qingyun Youcang, Yongming Huajiang.

Namely: Qing Province, Cloud State, You State, Cang Province, Yong Province, Ming Province, Hua State, and Jiang Province.

"Jiang Province!"

Chen Gang said.

The three prodigies from Jiang Province immediately stepped forward.

Ling Chen looked at the three.

Unexpectedly, these three were all at the quasi-emperor level!

Following their rankings, the three prodigies made their choices.

Next, the young talents from seven provinces each chose their sects.

Twenty-one prodigies completed their choices.

The Taixuan Immortal Sect and the Flower Immortal Sect each gained one member.

The Sky Sword Pavilion had four members.

The remaining sects each gained three members.

Among the twenty-one prodigies, there were nine quasi-emperor level experts.

Besides the three quasi-emperors from Jiang Province, the other provinces had only one quasi-emperor each.

Outside the Central Province, advancing to the Emperor Realm was extremely difficult.

The Taixuan Immortal Sect only recruited Divine Thought Masters.

Among the twenty-one, only one was a Divine Thought Master and chose the Taixuan Immortal Sect.

However, two people chose the Flower Immortal Sect.

Besides that one, another unsavory man chose, but Yun Shang directly rejected him.

This guy was too unattractive.

He ruined the face value of the Flower Immortal Sect!

Ultimately, the unattractive man chose the Sky Sword Pavilion.

The Eight Sects were not much different in strength.

The Sky Sword Pavilion was somewhat stronger.

Hence, the most choices went to the Sky Sword Pavilion.

But not significantly more.

"Qing Province!"

Chen Gang said loudly.

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen and the other two immediately stepped forward.

Ling Chen’s white hair was remarkably eye-catching.

Almost instantly, he captured everyone’s attention.

"Ling Chen, you choose first!"

Chen Gang added.

Ling Chen nodded.

Su Ye looked at Ling Chen with great anticipation.

On their way here, he repeatedly instilled in Ling Chen the idea that the Taixuan Immortal Sect was the best fit for him.

There should be no surprises.

Yun Shang also looked at Ling Chen.

She was also somewhat excited inside.

Afraid that Ling Chen might change his mind.

"I choose the Flower Immortal Sect!"

Ling Chen said loudly.

As soon as he said this, everyone’s gaze on Ling Chen instantly changed.

Especially some female cultivators.

Originally, they had a good impression of this delicate young man.

But unexpectedly, he was just another unsavory person.

Ling Chen, a grown man, chose a female cultivation sect, which was really indecent.

It was easy to see what this guy was up to!

Nothing but trying to take advantage of proximity!

Chen Gang furrowed his brow and said, "Ling Chen, the Flower Immortal Sect only recruits female cultivators. You must have seen what happened to that person before."

He was referring to that unsavory man.

"Ling Chen, don’t embarrass yourself and choose again!"

Su Ye from the Taixuan Immortal Sect said.

Even though Ling Chen didn’t choose the Taixuan Immortal Sect, he decided to give Ling Chen a second chance.

A quasi-emperor was rare.

Especially a quasi-emperor on the path of Divine Soul.

The one who chose the Taixuan Immortal Sect before was just a peak Emperor Realm Divine Thought Master.

"No need."

Ling Chen shook his head.

Yun Shang had saved his life.

Both falling into the Void and facing the threats from the Hidden Sect’s eight Emperors were related to Yun Shang.

He was not one to forget kindness.

And a man of his word.

Having promised Yun Shang, he had to fulfill it.

No matter how much ridicule he had to endure, it didn’t matter.

As long as he had a clear conscience!

"Why do you insist on this?"

Chen Gang gently shook his head and then looked at Yun Shang.

To him, Ling Chen was just humiliating himself!

"Ling Chen, welcome to the Flower Immortal Sect!"

Yun Shang smiled and said.

Ling Chen didn’t disappoint her.

Even if she and Shen Xing deliberately set a trap, Ling Chen willingly stepped in.

As soon as she spoke, everyone was stunned.

All looked at Yun Shang incredulously.

"Miss Yun, doesn’t the Flower Immortal Sect only recruit female disciples?"

Su Ye from the Taixuan Immortal Sect asked.

"Who said that?"

Yun Shang retorted.

Su Ye was instantly dumbfounded.

Though in recent years, the Flower Immortal Sect had only recruited female disciples.

But indeed, the Flower Immortal Sect had never explicitly said so.

"Then why did you reject that prodigy?"

Su Ye asked.

"He was too unsavory!"

Yun Shang said.

Upon hearing this, that unsavory man almost spat blood.

Many male prodigies felt a bit regretful.

If they had known earlier, they would have chosen the Flower Immortal Sect.

That sect was full of beauties, no, fairies waiting for them!

They were indignant inside, glaring at Ling Chen, envy and jealousy evident on their faces.

As for Ling Chen, he flew towards Yun Shang.

"Sister Yun Shang!"

Ling Chen stood behind Yun Shang.

"Hmm, you still have some conscience, kid."

Yun Shang glared at Ling Chen.

The new female disciple next to Ling Chen was stunned.

So, these two knew each other all along!

"Jiang Xiaoman, which sect do you want to join?"

Chen Gang asked.

"The Flower Immortal Sect!"

Jiang Xiaoman said.

"Welcome!"

Yun Shang spoke again.

Jiang Xiaoman was also accepted into the Flower Immortal Sect.

"Ling Wu, what about you?"

Chen Gang asked again.

"The Flower Immortal Sect!"

Ling Wu replied.
