Chapter 155: A Bunch Of Trash
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - -
The moment inner disciples, like Hou Yucheng, entered the Heaven Seeking Palace, there were personal guides to bring them around. On the other hand, outer disciples, like Mo Wuji and Zhen Shaoru, were gathered together and herded around.
Mo Wuji did not mind; he had even been a service disciple before, so how would this treatment be bad? Since he entered the Heaven Seeking Palace, he was constantly looking up and down.
Within the Heaven Seeking Palace, there were truly less sights were clouds pervaded in the air. A 20 to 25 meters wide bluestone path extended forward. There were rows upon rows of magnificent buildings, imbuing a majestic atmosphere. Mo Wuji also saw an unfathomably deep valley. There were many clouds hovering within the valley. Faraway, there was a mountain. On that mountain, was an extremely eye-catching structure.
This eye-catching structure was a colossal tower which extended into the clouds. No one could even see the top of the tower.
”That's the Heaven Seeking Palace's Immortal Training Tower, it's one of the symbols of the sect.” Seeing Mo Wuji mesmerized with the high tower, Zhen Shaoru chuckled and said.
Immortal Training Tower? Mo Wuji immediately recalled the Fringe City's Immortal Training Tower. He heard from Yan Qianyin that the Fringe City Immortal Training Tower was modeled after the one in the Heaven Seeking Palace. Not even a year had passed, and he already got to see the Heaven Seeking Palace's Immortal Training Tower.
Since this was the Heaven Seeking Palace's Immortal Training Tower, it would definitely have a Lightning Tempering Room. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji's heart burnt furiously. He couldn't wait to concoct his new channel opening solution before entering the Lightning Tempering Room to open his meridians.
A black robed man landed in front of the crowd of outer disciples. His gaze swept across the outer disciples before saying quietly, ”The Heaven Seeking Palace is a gathering of geniuses. Here, there are no trash, only geniuses.”
Everyone else was silent; they knew deep in their hearts whether they were geniuses or not. Clearly, many of the people here felt themselves to be geniuses.
The black robed man suddenly stopped before snorting, ”But this legacy has been broken. Because today, the Heaven Seeking Palace is accepting a pile of trash, and the pile of trash is you…”
The group of outer disciples immediately became restless. Clearly, they were not comfortable with those words. Besides Mo Wuji, almost everyone was a glorious hero or a Chosen of their sect. To think that they would actually be treated as trash the moment they entered the Heaven Seeking Palace.
”Quiet down! Whoever mutters another word will immediately be kicked out of the Heaven Seeking Palace.” The black robed man’s words were filled with killing intent. The crowd instantly went silent.
Waiting for the crowd to quiet down, the black robed man continued with a cold face, ”Because all of you depended on the spiritual herbs within the Five Elements Desolate Domain to enter the gates of our Heaven Seeking Palace. If not for the Five Elements Desolate Domain, you all are trash.”
Mo Wuji thought in his heart: This guy has balls. Exchanging spiritual herbs for an opportunity to enter the Heaven Seeking Palace was definitely decisions made by the members of the upper echelons. This fella is actually criticizing those people for breaking the rules.
”... So all of you can only stay in the most trashy outer sect mountain…” As he said this, the black robed man waved his hand, and an extremely vivid and life-like image of a mountain appeared in front of everyone. The mountain was even stratified under different districts; Mo Wuji saw that District A was at the peak, while District C was at the foot of the mountain. In the middle, there were Districts B and D.
After everyone had a clear look at the mountain, the black robed man coldly continued, ”Before you enter the mountain, you will need to climb the Heaven Seeking Staircase. 10 steps will get you into District C. 11 to 15: District B, while climbing above 15 steps would allow you into District A. If you can't even climb ten steps, then you can f*ck off to District D.”
The moment the black robed man finished his introduction, someone asked, ”Senior, why is the District D the worst when its height is no lower than District B?”
The black robed man coldly replied, ”Because District D is positioned at the back of a spiritual energy gathering array, and the spiritual density is extremely low. Furthermore, District D disciples get allocated the least resources. But there are advantages to District D too. At least District D is broad and vast; everyone can have space for their own backyard. So if you want to live comfortably, don't take that 10th step.”
Everyone instantly understood. But why did they come to the Heaven Seeking Palace? To live more comfortably? All of them were the prides of their sects, why in fart's world would they want to seek comfort in the Heaven Seeking Palace? Wouldn't they be able to be as comfortable as they liked back in their own sects?
There's only one goal here, that is to enter the inner sect and become a true disciple of the Heaven Seeking Palace.
Staying in a place without spiritual energy was akin to destroying their own future, much less becoming a true disciple.
Perhaps there was only one person who would think otherwise: Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji was clear about his own situation. The amount of spiritual energy he absorbed during cultivation was crazy. Staying in a spiritual energy sparse environment might affect him, but it was still better than staying with a crowd. If he stayed in a crowd, someone would immediately notice when he starts cultivating, and even find out how absurd his absorption speed was.
