Chapter 5: Purple Cloud Sect

Qingyan Continent has a vast area, and countless people are keen to practice, known as the East Immortal, the West Buddha, the Southern Demon, and the Northern Demon.

In the eastern part of the continent, there are many spiritual veins, and most of the immortal cultivation sects are gathered here, and there are more than a dozen immortal cultivation sects, as well as several immortal cultivation families of different sizes.

In the western part of the mainland, there are ancient Buddha ruins, and Buddhism prevails.

In the southern part of the mainland, there are mountains and forests that stretch for more than 100,000 miles, and demon cultivation can be seen everywhere.

In the north of the continent, there is no end in sight, the desert is lonely, and the yellow sand is thousands of miles. There are a few grasslands and several cities scattered in the middle, the resources are poor, and the elixir is even scarcer, but the Demon Cultivation Sect gathers here.

The Terrans are located right in the middle of the continent and are surrounded by many cultivation sects. Moreover, compared to the cultivation realm, the living area of the human race is also much narrower. However, because of the mutual restraint between good and evil, very few cultivators make trouble.

The Ziyun Mountain Range is located in the eastern center of the Qingyan Continent, stretching for thousands of miles, and the aura is relatively abundant. Purple clouds often fly away in the mountains, hence the name. The Purple Cloud Sect is located in the southeast of the Purple Cloud Mountain Range, and is one of the five major cultivation sects of the Purple Cloud Mountain Range, and it is also the first major sect in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Also in the Ziyun Mountain Range, there are also the four major immortal cultivation sects of the Ten Thousand Volume Sect, the Feiyun Gate, the Divine Sword Sect, and the Tianxiang Sect. The Ten Thousand Volumes Sect and the Feiyun Sect, like the Purple Cloud Sect, are all based on spiritual cultivation. Both the Shenjian Gate and the Tianxiang Gate are mainly sword cultivators, with most of the male disciples in the Shenjian Gate and most of the female disciples in the Tianxiang Gate.

The five major sects are all in the Ziyun Mountain Range, and they have the same qi and branches, and the relationship has always been good. Even the triennial ceremony for selecting introductory disciples is held on the same day. And today, it is this momentous day.

On the tall and stout stone pillars of the mountain gate, there are inlaid with various colored crystals, which are dazzling. On the tall gatehouse, the dragon and phoenix are painted, and there is a plaque in the middle, with the purple cloud pattern as the bottom, and the three words of Douda are written on it: Ziyun Sect!

In front of the mountain gate, there is a huge square, which is three or four hundred zhang wide. There are many stone tables and benches in the square, and several tall pavilions are also built. On both sides of the square, there are many tall trees with lush foliage.

This is one of the five major immortal cultivation sects in the Purple Cloud Mountain Range, the Purple Cloud Sect.

When the sun first arrived, the square outside the gate of Ziyun Sect was already crowded. Naturally, many of these people did not come to apply, and there were also family members who accompanied them. But with a cursory glance, there are at least two or three thousand young children who came to apply.

One of them had already occupied the tall pavilion early, and the young man sat in it, his face full of delicateness, following the servants and bodyguards, and there were people holding tea next to him, obviously the children of a rich family.

On some stone benches, there were also some young men with swords under their ribs, dressed gorgeously, with their eyes slightly closed, and their faces were confident and arrogant. Obviously, they are the children of those immortal cultivation families, and the reason why they don't go to fight for the pavilion is not because they are afraid, but because they disdain to compete with these ordinary people.

Of course, there are also those children who sit or stand, their faces are timid, they are all ordinary and even poor children. They have never gone out very much, and they have never seen so many people at once, so they are naturally timid.

Ma Yilong stood alone in the corner of the square, dressed in white, covered with a black cloth, others couldn't see his appearance at all, let alone what his identity was.

The most special person in the square is undoubtedly him. Even though he couldn't see clearly, there would still be many people who would look at him from time to time. Ma Yilong turned a blind eye to all this, just stared quietly into the distance, and no one could see what he was thinking.

In a hidden place outside the mountain gate, a Taoist priest and a young man in white were standing there.

"Master, you are really! The selection of disciples by the mountain gate is just a trivial matter, you are the head of the sect, as for coming here to observe secretly?" The young man in white looked puzzled, although he did not explain it directly, he also invisibly reluctantly followed.

"Nonsense! Three years later, it will be the day when the Holy Land will open! It is only once in ten years, and I have been waiting for it for seven years! Your master is already qualified to ascend, and I am already in the middle of the Yuan Infant, so I am one step away! This trip to the Holy Land, the Ascending Order is bound for us, do you say this is a trivial matter?" The Taoist priest looked displeased and rebuked the young man in white.

"I heard that the Holy Land is a very peculiar place, it is said that it was a prohibition set up here by Da Luo Jin Immortal back then! There is a large area of spell failure in the Holy Land, if it is not for a person with strong martial arts, he will not dare to set foot in this area, and the Ascension Order happens to be in this area!"

"That's not bad at all! I care about those who can become disciples of the inner and outer halls, and they are the hope of competing for the Ascension Order on the trip to the Holy Land here!" the Taoist priest nodded, full of anticipation.

"Even if someone has strong martial arts skills and has been chosen, how do you know that he will definitely participate in the trip to the Holy Land, and will not hesitate to venture into the area where the spell has failed to help you get the Ascension Order?" asked the young man in white.

When the Taoist priest heard this, he looked at the white-clothed young man with a wicked smile on his face and did not speak. After so many years of master and apprenticeship, the young man in white knows the master too well, and when he sees his expression, he can understand the meaning of the Taoist priest without asking. Although he was full of reluctance, he could only sigh helplessly and nodded gloomily.

This Taoist priest is the head of the Purple Cloud Sect, Chiyun Daoist, and the white-clothed young man is Liu Lin, the disciple he privately accepted. However, the people of Chiyun Dao have never announced it to the outside world, and few people know about it!

From top to bottom, the Purple Cloud Sect has a total of three Yuan Infant Monks and four Monk Cultivators.

The three Yuan Infant monks are: the Baiyun Dao people in the late Yuan Infant Period, the Chiyun Dao people in the middle Yuan Infant Period, and the Qingyun Dao people in the early Yuan Infant Period. The four monks in the Yudan period are: Tianfeng Daoren in the late Yudan period, Xuechen Daogu in the middle of Yudan, Liu Xinyuan in the early stage of Yudan, and Zhang Wancheng in the early stage of Yudan. Liu Xinyuan is a layman female cultivator, Xuechen Shigu is a Taoist female cultivator, Zhang Wancheng is a layman male cultivator, and everyone else is a Taoist male cultivator.

Tianfeng Dao and Liu Xinyuan are both disciples of Chiyun Dao people, Xuechen Dao Gu and Zhang Wancheng are disciples of Qingyun Dao people, and Baiyun Dao people have never accepted disciples in their lives.

Because of this, the Baiyun Dao people, who were supposed to be the head of the sect, gave up the position of head to the Chiyun Dao people, and concentrated on cultivation by themselves. At this time, the Baiyun Dao people were in retreat and cultivating, preparing to ascend to the spirit realm. But he still lacks one necessary thing - the Ascension Order!

The Baiyun Dao people, who didn't care about the world, handed over this matter to the Chiyun Dao people to handle it. Therefore, the Chiyun Dao people would be so concerned about this matter and hide in the dark to observe.

At this time, the mountain gate had been opened, and two disciples in the early stage of foundation building walked out of it, both of whom were about twenty years old. Behind them were a dozen or so Qi Refining Stage disciples, some older and younger, but none of them were more than twenty. And their cultivation is about ten layers of qi refining, and the low ones are only three layers of qi refining.

When they came out, all the people in the square were silent.

Several Qi Refining Stage disciples walked over, took two tables and four chairs, and placed them in front of the two Foundation Building Stage disciples. On top of the two tables, there is a pen and paper for registration, and a special magic plate is placed in each. Four chairs, two upright, were for two disciples in the foundation building period to sit on. The other two were placed on their sides, obviously for the Qi refining disciples who were in charge of registration.

In the Xiuzhen sect, there are many ways to select disciples and test the spiritual root, some use spirit mirrors, some use spirit stones, in short, there are many kinds of them. And what the Purple Cloud Sect used to test the spiritual root was the special magic plate on the table.

This disc is thin, the size of a washbasin. In the middle of the Dharma plate, there is a palm print with five fingers outstretched. On the periphery of the palm print, it is divided into five areas, on which are engraved the five characters of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. And the color of the five characters is also different, gold is white, wood is cyan, water is black, fire is red, and earth is yellow.

As soon as the table was placed, the two foundation building stage disciples were seated in the right seat. Two Qi refining disciples came over, sat sideways, and took out paper and pens.

"In Xia Jiang Shuyuan, this is Wang Xian, the senior brother of this sect! Among the people present, there must be many people who have been selected today, and they will also be our fellow disciples in the future. If any of them will make rapid progress in their cultivation in the future, don't forget about today and bring us with you!" a Foundation Building Stage disciple glanced at everyone and said loudly.

When he spoke, his face was sincere, although he said it very humblely, but it did not make people feel hypocritical. However, the other disciple of the foundation building period standing beside him, who was also called Wang Xian, kept pouting and looked disapproving.

Jiang Shuyuan glanced at Wang Xian and didn't say anything, just smiled gloomily.

"I heard that both of them were in the early stage of foundation building, why was that Wang Xian so arrogant?" said one of the people in the crowd in a low voice to the person next to him.

"Be quiet! What do you know, now the five major sects of the Ziyun Mountain Range are all the same, and the disciples they accept are divided into inner disciples and outer disciples, and among the inner disciples, they are divided into inner hall disciples and outer hall disciples! Jiang Shuyuan is just an inner and outer hall disciple, and he has no teacher. And Wang Xian is a disciple of the inner door and an apprentice of Zhang Wancheng!Moreover, this Wang Xian is still from the Xiuzhen family!" The other replied in a low voice.

With Jiang Shuyuan's cultivation, he could naturally hear it clearly, shook his head with a smile, and waved his hand lightly at several other Qi refining stage disciples. Now that the table has been set, it is natural to stand in two teams and test on both sides at the same time. Those Qi Refining Stage disciples understood what he meant, and immediately walked towards the square.
