C21 Sect Elections

This was a soft Spirit Beast in the shape of an earthworm.

It was only the size of an ordinary earthworm used for fishing. What was different from normal earthworms was that this Spirit Devouring Worm was completely green, and had eyes, tongue, and other organs. Furthermore, the ratio and shape of the eye and tongue were actually similar to that of a human's five senses.

Fortunately, this kind of Spirit Beast was not aggressive. After it broke the shell, it first raised its head and glanced at Ox King. Then, it slithered towards Ox King like an earthworm, as if it had already recognized its master. Ox King saw that the crawling speed was really not fast, so he wanted to twist the little thing up with his fingers and throw it to the Controlling Beast in the Five Ultimate Martial World to deal with.

Just that, the most terrifying thing was that when his fingers made contact with the Spirit Devouring Worm, he immediately felt that the Spirit Qi in his body was like a river rushing out to the Spirit Devouring Worm. No matter how much he tried to control himself, it was to no avail.

In shock, Ox King quickly threw the Spirit Devouring Worm elsewhere.

"Hehe, you must be scared!" At this time, the Controlling Beast gave a rare chuckle of goodwill, and said: "The Spirit Devouring Worm is known to some as a spiritual beast that doesn't bite, be it the spirit energy in the ore or the air, even the spirit energy in the air, if one comes into contact with it, it can quickly devour the spirit energy in the human body. Right now, this Spirit Devouring Worm is still just a larva. If we wait until it becomes an adult, unless we cut off the part that comes in contact with it, it would be impossible to get rid of it. "

"That powerful?!" Ox King opened his mouth in surprise. His eyes spun and he said excitedly, "If that's the case, then cultivating it to become an adult bug and using it to fight is also a terrifying killing machine!"

"Cultivate as an adult bug …" That's not a simple matter. " The Controlling Beast sighed and said, "If it were to grow naturally, it would take at least ten thousand years."

"No way, 10,000 years?!" Ox King's face turned pale. He thought to himself that he might not even be able to wait ten thousand years, let alone ten thousand years. Even great cultivators like Golden Pill Ancestor usually only had a lifespan of 500 to 600 years.

In ten thousand years, just how eternal and indestructible was that!

Thinking about it, Ox King had no intention of fighting the Spirit Devouring Worm at all, so he might as well just treat it as the Spirit Beast's fodder!

Ox King stopped talking about this with the Controlling Beast and turned around. He opened his eyes wide and looked for the location of the Spirit Devouring Worm. He had just thrown away this little thing. If it had disappeared, then he would have lost a lot of money.

Oh, that's not right. The little thing was so big that he couldn't even muster up any strength despite being scared. If it fell to its death, there wouldn't even be a place for it to cry!

Thinking about this, Ox King panicked again and his eyes widened as he looked around.

After searching left and right for a while, not even a single strand of hair could be found, let alone the green earthworm shaped Spirit Beast. After scanning a few more times and still failing to find anything, Ox King finally started to really panic.

"Stop joking around, hurry up and come out!" Ox King was full of regret. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have thrown his hand off even if all his spiritual energy was sucked dry. With such strange insects, it was impossible to find the other one. Now that it was gone, if it really wasn't, Ox King couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be so anxious to vomit three liters of blood, or even be depressed for the rest of his life.

ji ji ji … *

While he was feeling anxious, Ox King suddenly realized that there were a few unfamiliar sounds coming from his legs.

When he hurriedly looked down, he immediately became happy: Isn't this the Spirit Devouring Worm that he was talking about?!

However, after seeing the Spirit Devouring Worm, Ox King couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Afterwards, he squatted down and observed the Spirit Devouring Worm carefully. After a while, he was sure that the little thing had grown to be about a third of its original size. It looked more like a caterpillar than anything else. But what surprised him the most was that the Spirit Devouring Worm had actually crawled onto his leg soundlessly and soundlessly.

It should be known, when they were searching for the little thing, Ox King had spread out his Spiritual Sense, but did not sense the existence of the Spirit Devouring Worm.

To be able to hide all of his presence while being probed by the cultivators and Spiritual Sense, this little thing seemed to be extraordinary!

Although Ox King thought that since this little thing could hide its presence, it would definitely be able to break through the enemy and become invisible if it was trained to be an adult bug. However, he had no choice but to sigh and give up on his idea after thinking about the long time it would take to grow up.

Turning his head, he called the Controlling Beast and said: "I can let you nurture this little thing for me, right?"

"No problem." The Controlling Beast answered straightforwardly, and said to him: "This bug is hermaphrodite, within a month it can enter the growth stage, and at that time it can reproduce. It only takes one month to reproduce each time, and after nine times, it becomes completely male and continues to survive as a male for a long period of time. "

"So it's like that!" Ox King nodded and said, "Then I will have to trouble Fellow Daoist to train them. I hope they will come in handy as soon as possible."

"Don't worry Fellow Daoist, leave this matter to me." The Controlling Beast nodded again, then added: "Also, this Spirit Beast has another benefit, it can increase the number of people that can hatch Spiritual Sense s. Not only would every time it hatched, it would also bring about a little growth for the Spiritual Sense, and every time its descendants reared, it would also bring about half of the effect it had when reproducing. Although these increases have been minimal, they have accumulated over a long period of time to be very substantial. "

"Ah!" These words made Ox King cry out loud, and he was full of excitement.

He could already imagine that, even if the benefits of this little thing's reproduction were as great as a drop of water thrown into a lake, if his descendant were to continuously multiply and expand, it was very likely that this drop of water, or the area where half of the droplets gathered, would become as wide as a lake, or even a sea!

Although this could be a long and distant process, its benefits were immeasurable!

At this time, Ox King finally understood why the Controlling Beast did not hatch the Spirit Devouring Worm's egg personally, and chose to leave the opportunity to him. It turned out that there was actually such a huge benefit to it!

Thinking about it, Ox King's gratitude towards the Controlling Beast had reached a point where it could not be described with words.

At this moment, he had an unprecedented confidence in his future. Initially, he still had an indifferent attitude towards entering the Controlling Beast Lair, but immediately, he underwent a fundamental change: With the existence of the Controlling Beast, as long as he truly entered into the business of the Controlling Beast, his future development would definitely be immeasurable.

As he thought about it, Ox King suddenly remembered that the Controlling Beast Temple would only accept disciples tomorrow, so he should have made preparations in advance.

Thus, Ox King cleaned up the room and checked all the items on his body. He once again started to meditate and adjust his breathing. He prepared to adjust his condition to its best in order to prepare for tomorrow's entrance exam.

"..."

One day without a word.

The next morning, Ox King suddenly opened his eyes and woke up from his meditation.

After leaving the room, he did not go to the inn's counter to check out the bill. Instead, he went straight out the door. Without a doubt, everyone was either there to watch the excitement or to participate in the sect entrance exam. Thus, there was no need to ask for directions and they could directly follow the stream of people.

Before long, Ox King had followed the stream of people and arrived at the northern side of Celestial Spirit City.

This was the place where the Controlling Beast Temple would openly recruit disciples, thus there was a very large plaza. Ox King sized up the plaza and found that the square was probably no larger than ten miles. And on the north side of the square, which was around five kilometers in size, there were over ten temporary high platforms. There were ten to twenty cultivators either sitting or standing on them. The robes of these cultivators were also colored in three colors, gray, blue, and white.

Ox King asked the people at the side casually, and knew that the gray cultivators that were responsible for taking care of all the trivial matters were the outer disciples of the Controlling Beast Temple.

The ones dressed in blue were the inner disciples. They just stood there and were in charge of guarding. As for the people dressed in white, each stage only had one person sitting in the center. They were the high and mighty Martial Uncle of the Foundation Establishment Period Sect, who was also the leader of each stage.

As for the method of disciple recruitment, every stage was different.

There was no need to ask about this, as many people were talking about it. One of them was to test the attributes of the spirit root. Those with outstanding talent could be accepted directly into the sect. The other type had people like people who were accepted by the sect as offerings, who could give Controlling Beast s, eggs, or all sorts of rare items, and were accepted as disciples. In addition, there were also cultivators who entered the sect with outstanding battle prowess, as well as cultivators with various cultivation assistive techniques.

It was clear that the Controlling Beast Sect had different ways of accepting disciples, and it seemed like it had provided many opportunities for the rogue cultivators.

However, in reality, there weren't many disciples who could be recruited. Apart from spiritual roots or talent, which didn't limit the number of people, the other three methods only had a total of five hundred disciples in each category.

Amongst them, there were also 50 people who were allowed to donate treasures, 200 people who were allowed to compete, and 250 people who had a supporting skill.

Although the latter method appeared to have more slots, it seemed to be more lax than the other categories. However, in reality, the supporting skills of Cultivation World were the so-called Nine Arts, and every skill could be subdivided into several smaller categories. Thus, there was a possibility that they might be even rarer than the other types. This was also the reason why there were only four ways to recruit disciples, yet there were more than ten platforms built.

Not to mention the exceptional talent in choosing spirit roots, there were a total of five hundred slots for the other three categories. However, there were tens of thousands of cultivators here, and the intensity of the competition was evident.

Ox King watched the group of cultivators for a while and thought left and right. He felt that if he really had to participate in the assessment, there would be no hope. He definitely had no chance to compete in this aspect. This was because the cultivators who were participating in this competition, were at least those with Level 4 of Qi Refinement and higher Cultivation Level s. As for the cultivation of the nine arts, he himself had nothing to gain from it. Although he had the help of the Controlling Beast, he couldn't let the Controlling Beast go to help him tame it when faced with the examiner's shining eyes.

In addition, donate treasures... Forget it, cultivators who come out of the North Wilderness are even first level middle stage Spirit Beast s, so how could they have treasures to offer?

Thinking about it this way, all three of them had nowhere to go, the rest seemed to be only a test of their spiritual roots.

If he did not test his talent, he would have a Jade Plate given by Wei Feiyan. However, after standing there for two hours, Ox King did not see any place that specialized in collecting disciples. He could not just jump onto the stage and say that Wei Feiyan had introduced him, right?

That way, they might just kick him out. Although a lot of things are dependent on relationships, since the other party did not intentionally create a platform to collect the keepsake, it was obvious that they were relying on their own abilities on the surface and our sect was fair in accepting disciples. As for what was going on behind the scenes, it was not something that would be put on the table. Thus, if he wanted to get away from this relationship, he could only do it quietly.

After putting these things in his head for a while, Ox King decided to test his spiritual roots.

Ever since he was born, even though he knew that he had spiritual roots, he didn't know how talented he was. Furthermore, if one wanted to run away from their relationship without making any noise, then they would have to come into contact with the disciples of the Controlling Beast Sect!
