Chapter 233: Leaving the Sect

Bei Suting looked gratefully at the black hair white bearded Defender Xu as she believed that this Defender Xu must be an expert of the Worldly Immortal King Stage.

Xia Mu appeared as if nothing happened as he smiled and said, ”The first matter is that Zhen Mo Continent is about to accept a top grade qualified disciple into Zhen Mo Continent to cultivate…”

Because of this statement, the originally low-spirited and depressed palace started roaring again. Many sect heads started to whisper and discuss about this.

”Special Envoy Xia, may I know if these newly recruited disciples will be sent straight to Star King Mountain to cultivate?”

Xia Mu sneered, send to Star King Mountain? Am I the one or are you the one dreaming? However, he maintained his smile as he replied, ”The top disciple that will be chosen from the selection here will be accepted into the Zhen Mo Continent to participate in the selection there. Only the top participant will be enrolled as a disciple of the big sect in Zhen Mo Continent. The prerequisites to enter the Star King Mountain are much harsher in which a disciple needs to have outstanding qualifications and a certain level of contribution to the Continent.”

Xia Mu’s words made the majority of the sect heads excited instead of dampening their mood. Zhen Mo Continent’s cultivation culture and level of knowledge were all superior over the Lost Continent so even if they were to join the other sects, being able to advance into the True God Stage would be a good enough achievement for the sect heads.

However, Jiang Xiushan was slightly troubled as he did not believe that the Zhen Mo Continent was as great as Xia Mu’s description. There must be a hidden reason why Zhen Mo Continent came over to the Lost Continent to recruit disciples.

Xia Mu used his hand to silence the noise in palace’s hall before saying, ”Ten days later, we will hold the top grade disciples selection. The top disciple that is chosen after this selection would follow us back to Zhen Mo Continent. After this year, we will come back to hold this selection once every three years.”

”Special Envoy Xia, there are some sects which are located further away from the Yan City so I’m afraid they might not be able to make it in time,” Feng Zhenqiu stood up in a hurry to say this.

In the battle at the Yin Tomb Beach, he was already wounded. Now that the Zhen Mo Continent expert was here, he managed to make it here to welcome Xia Mu even with his wounds.

Xia Mu replied faintly, ”Those located further away and couldn’t make it in time means that they have no fate. This is decided and we shall talk about the second matter.”

Feng Zhenqiu could only sigh as he sat back down. Even though he was only the second dean of the Heaven Seeking Palace, he was the one who made majority of the decisions concerning the Heaven Seeking Palace. In front of a special envoy from Zhen Mo Continent, even a person of such high status in the Lost Continent like Feng Zhenqiu had no say in anything.

”The second matter is that we have to find a particular person,” Xia Mu waved his hand after he finished speaking and a huge, clear portrait of a person appeared in front of the crowd, ”This man should be a cultivator of the Lost Continent and if anyone were to know of his whereabouts, we can arrange for that person to enter the Star King Mountain directly.

The moment the human portrait was revealed, there were at least seven to eight people in the hall showing uncertainty in what they were looking at. It seemed as though there was more than one person in the hall who recognised the man in the portrait. The sect leader of the Great Evolution Sect, Jiang Xiushan, stood up and said, ”Special Envoy Xia, a lot of people do know about this senior.”

The moment Xia Mu heard this, he stood up excitedly before exclaiming in a hurry, ”May I please know who he is and where he is now?”

From the time Xia Mu appeared in front of everybody, this was the first time everyone witnessed him being so polite with his words and even used the word ‘please’. Even though he was talking with a smile all these while, there was still an air of arrogance around him which made people felt that he didn’t treat any of them as being on the same level as he was.

”This man was the Lost Continent number one sect, Heaven Sect’s head called Jing Gumu,” Jiang Xiushan of the Great Evolution Sect had no hesitation in mentioning that the Heaven Sect was the number one sect around.

If it was anyone else, they would have only introduced him as the sect head of the Heaven Sect and not add the ‘number one sect’. Even though the Great Evolution Sect surpassed the Heaven Seeking Palace to claim first place in both the Sect Contribution Board and the Hundred Sects Alliance Contribution Board, Heaven Seeking Palace was still considered to be the number one sect in the eyes of many cultivators in the Lost Continent.

Jiang Xiushan’s reluctance to admit Heaven Seeking Palace being the number one sect and the fact that the Great Evolution was never truly number one led to him saying that the Heaven Sect was the number one sect instead. This made his heart felt a little more carefree.

”Where is he?” Xia Mu tried to control his excitement as he asked again.

Jiang Xiushan sighed as he replied, ”If sect head Jing was still around, how can these alien barbarians be this arrogant? Sect head Jing had already disappeared a few thousand years ago and I’ve heard that he disappeared while he was in closed door cultivation in his attempt to advance to the Worldly Immortal King Stage.”

”So who is the sect head of the Heaven Sect now?” Xia Mu used his eyes to scan through the crowd of sect heads.

By now, everyone was sure that Xia Mu was looking for Jing Gumu for something that was probably very important.

Jiang Xiushan continued, ”After the disappearance of senior Jing, the sect was broken apart and then eventually disappeared into the history of the Lost Continent

Xia Mu felt dejected as he sat down without making any noise.

After a few minutes, Defender Xu took the initiative to say, ”10 days later, there will be a disciple selection here at the Yan City Plaza and the selection slots will be limited to only a hundred. I will leave this selection in the hands of the Heaven Seeking Palace First Dean, Bei Suting and the sect head of the Great Evolution Sect. I hope that the Lost Continent would be able to produce its own expert without the need for them to cross the Five Elements Desolate Domain to reach here. That is all for today, all sect heads please return to prepare for the selection. We will see each other 10 days later.”
