Chapter 1577: Invitation

“My apologies, but the Dragonblood Legion isn’t recruiting. We are one solid ent.i.ty forged through battle. Whether it’s the first generation Dragonblood warriors or the second generation Dragonmark warriors, our emotions were born and baptized through blood and fire. There’s no way for others to gain such a relations.h.i.+p with us. Joining the Dragonblood Legion is not a matter of how high your cultivation base or how great your talent is. All the twelve thousand members of the Dragonblood Legion have one heart. Even if we wanted to accept you, without having gone through blood and fire, life and death, there’s no way we can be united. So thank you for thinking so highly of me, but I’m sorry to say that I cannot accept,” said Long Chen.

Although there were several Empyreans amongst the neutral camp, Long Chen couldn’t accept them.

It was as he said. The Dragonblood Legion was like a weapon forged together, and their forger was countless trials and tribulations. They had been smelted together by the merciless world with its cruel flames. After that forging, it was difficult for new people to join them.

Although they had felt that the chances were low, hearing this decisive answer still disappointed countless people.

“However, don’t be too disappointed. The Dragonblood Legion isn’t accepting new members, but the Xuantian Dao Sect’s large gates are open to any upright and open-hearted people. Although it’s not joining the Dragonblood Legion, joining the Xuantian Dao Sect will still allow us to fight shoulder to shoulder against our enemies,” said Long Chen.

Their eyes lit up. That was true. By joining the Xuantian Dao Sect, wouldn’t they have more chances to interact with Long Chen? Perhaps in the future, there would be a chance that they could join the Dragonblood Legion.

“I want to join the Xuantian Dao Sect. My sect is too cowardly and ordered me to join Sha Guangyan’s side. Such weak and cowardly higher-ups almost caused me to die. Fortunately, I was smart enough to choose the neutral camp, or I wouldn’t exist any longer. If I had listened to my sect’s orders, I’d have lost my life, so this life was won by me. I want to leave my sect and join the Xuantian Dao Sect. Would the Xuantian Dao Sect want a traitor like me?” asked a rank nine Celestial.

His voice quivered slightly, but he said what countless other disciples wanted to say. Of the disciples present, over eighty percent of them came from sects that had told them to join Sha Guangyan’s side.

Some sects had even ordered them to join that side, or they would be viewed as criminals who had betrayed their sects.

However, geniuses were naturally rebellious. It was hard to change what they had set their minds on.

Not all of them chose to stand on the neutral side because they believed Long Chen was falsely accused. There was also another portion that had simply been irritated by their sect’s orders and so they deliberately went against them.

However, now they felt a burst of fear, as well as anger toward their higher-ups. Those higher-ups had almost sent them to their deaths.

Betraying one’s sect made them traitors, and others would look down on them. That was a name that they would never be able to get rid of in their life.

However, who wouldn’t want to join the Xuantian Dao Sect? They had the old patriarch, a Netherpa.s.sage expert, as well as Long Chen’s Dragonblood Legion. Who could stop their rise now?

Anyone who joined the Dragonblood Legion would instantly have their status rise. The Xuantian Dao Sect’s brilliance would surpa.s.s all expectations for sure. Joining them was definitely the wisest decision.

However, would the Xuantian Dao Sect accept them, people who had betrayed their sect?

“The Dao is endless, while love should be limitless. The Xuantian Dao Sect’s cultivation is based on cultivating the Dao. The Dao contains all things, so we naturally have room to expand. As long as your hearts remain righteous, then no matter your status or talent, my Xuantian Dao Sect will welcome you.” Li Tianxuan smiled amicably.

However, inside, he was extremely moved. His palms were sweaty. He knew the Xuantian Dao Sect was truly rising.

“Many thanks, Xuan Master! Disciple wishes to join the Xuantian Dao Sect!” A rank nine Celestial flew over and kowtowed toward Li Tianxuan.

“I also want to.”

“I also- hey, don’t push me!”

“Whose hands are those? If you dare to touch me again, I’ll kill you right now!”

Everything became chaotic as the heavenly geniuses of the neutral camp fought to fly to the front.

Tens of thousands of experts were rus.h.i.+ng over. Sixty to seventy percent of those experts were rank nine Celestials. Liu Cang’s smile looked like a flower in bloom.

There was no way to differentiate them into inner and outer sect disciples. These people were all geniuses amongst geniuses, experts amongst experts.

The Xuantian Dao Sect had now picked up countless treasures- no, the treasures had taken the initiative to jump into their hands. It wasn’t even possible to pick them all up.

w.a.n.g Zhen couldn’t help but bitterly smile. He looked at Hua s.h.i.+yu, Zhao Ziyan, and the others. He saw a similar sadness in their eyes.

They were originally the Xuantian Dao Sect’s top geniuses. However, once these people joined, they would immediately be drowned out.

Li Tianxuan patted w.a.n.g Zhen on the shoulder. “Don’t be dejected. You will always be the heavenly geniuses of the Xuantian Dao Sect. No one will surpa.s.s you. Of course, that’s on the precondition that you don’t compare yourself to Long Chen.
