C22 The Five Mountain Sect

Three days later, a black shadow flashed across the blue sky like a meteor. Its speed was extremely fast. If someone could see it clearly, they would find that it was a Flying Profound Beast Purple Scaled Eagle. On the back of the eagle sat a few figures. In front of these figures, there were three triangular crystal balls the size of bowls placed in front of them. Dense spirit patterns were inscribed on the crystal balls, and the spirit patterns revolved like tadpoles. They emitted a red light. The brilliance emitted by the three crystal balls attracted each other, forming a triangular shield in front of the crystal ball. As the Purple Scaled Eagle flew at high speed, the triangular shield pierced through the air like a sharp blade. The air passed by the two sides of the triangular shield, making a hissing sound. The people sitting behind the shield were as flat as flat ground. They were not affected at all.

Duanmu Kuang was among the people sitting there. He had changed into new clothes and had already washed himself. He gave off a completely new feeling. At this moment, he was looking at the crystal ball and sighing. It had been three days. He had been travelling with Zhong Lingyan and the rest for three days. During these three days, these few people would always take out some strange things from time to time. It opened his eyes wide.

For example, this crystal ball was said to be a small formation that could be carried around by array masters. It was called the Wind Breaking Formation, which was extremely powerful. After using it, even the airflow brought by the Purple Scaled Eagle's flight could be easily broken. The person sitting behind the formation was not affected by the wind at all. It was as stable as sitting on the ground normally.

The wind brought by the Purple Scaled Eagle's rapid flight was huge. If it wasn't for the Wind Breaking Formation, the few Innate Stage warriors would have been blown off the back of the eagle and smashed into meat paste by the wind. Duanmu Kuang thought to himself.

"Formation master, it's formation master again!" First was the interspatial ring, then the acoustic jade, and then the crystal ball. The three high and mighty items that Duanmu Kuang had seen were all related to formation masters. This made him fascinated by formation masters.

"Silly kid, look, we're almost at the sect!" Just as Duanmu Kuang was lost in thought, Zhong Lingyan's voice rang in his ears. Duanmu Kuang looked over and saw five towering mountains in the distance. There was a thin layer of fog in the mountains, and he could vaguely see some houses in the mountains.

"We're here, we're about to reach the Five Mountain Sect." Duanmu Kuang was excited, but at the same time, there was a trace of anticipation and uneasiness in his heart. On the way here, he was informed. With his cultivation base, it wouldn't be a problem for him to become a disciple of the Five Mountain Sect.

However, the disciples of the Five Mountain Sect were divided into true disciples and core disciples. There were four ranks of inner disciples and outer disciples, and amongst them, true disciples had the most authority. They could enjoy the most resources in the sect. Outer sect disciples were the lowliest, and within the sect... Not only did they get the least resources, but they also had to guard the sect. Clean the place up.

After all, within the sect, there were still people who had to do these chores. As such, it could only be placed on those outer sect disciples who had no future and were almost marginalized. Furthermore, the sect did not provide for idle people. When you joined the sect, you would receive the protection of the sect. Other than completing missions within the sect at fixed intervals, as an outer sect disciple, your talent is lower than others, so it's only natural for you to do such chores. You can't ask those geniuses with great futures to give up their precious cultivation time to do these trivial things, can you?

This point is common in every sect. Therefore, it also doomed the tragedy of those outer sect disciples. As time passed, the gap between them and the genius disciples would only grow wider and wider. They would also become more and more marginalized in the sect, and would never be able to make a name for themselves.

Of course, there were also exceptions. There was also a genius whose glory had been concealed who had unknowingly become an outer sect disciple. Then, there were cases of him soaring into the sky, but they were all one in a million. Or even one in a million. So, what level of disciple could join a sect be? This was the most important step.

Now that Duanmu Kuang wanted to join the Five Mountain Sect, after learning that he had no fate with a true disciple and a core disciple, of course, he wanted to become an inner circle disciple. Although he didn't know how the inner circle disciples were treated, he didn't need to do those trivial things. As everyone knew, time was extremely precious to a martial artist. He had to waste his time guarding the mountain gate or something. Of course, he wasn't willing to. Moreover, he had a great grudge and wanted to quickly rise to become a powerhouse. He couldn't waste his time on these trivial matters.

Therefore, in Duanmu Kuang's heart, he wanted to become an inner circle disciple of the Five Mountain Sect. He only wanted to become an inner circle disciple. However, he had to go through a test to see if he could pass the test. He was not confident either, and could not help but feel nervous.

The Purple Scaled Eagle let out a low cry and slowly landed in front of the entrance of the Five Mountain Sect. Only then did Duanmu Kuang carefully see the Five Mountain Sect's appearance.

As the name implied, the Five Mountain Sect was built among the five great mountains. The main peak was located in the middle, and the other four mountains were like stars surrounding the moon, decorating the surroundings of the main peak. The mountain gate of the Five Mountain Sect was located on the path that one had to pass to enter the mountain. It was the mountain gate in front of them. It was over a hundred meters tall, and its entire body was cast from cold iron. On the iron wall above the mountain gate, the words "Five Mountain Sect" were carved into the iron wall in a flamboyant manner. It exuded a sense of vicissitude and majestic Qi that had been passed down for a long time.

As far as the eye could see, the palace on the mountain peak was laid out horizontally. The imposing aura of the mountain gate in front of him made Duanmu Kuang unconsciously feel tiny when he stood in front of the mountain gate.

On both sides of the mountain gate stood a dozen disciples of the Five Mountain Sect dressed in light blue clothes. Each of them had eyes like an eagle, staring at the people coming and going in and out of the mountain gate. There were a lot of people coming in and out of the mountain gate. It extended into the mountain gate, so dense that one couldn't see the end of it.

There were martial artists and ordinary people in the stream of people. Most of them were youths at the Body Refinement Realm. However, in the two streams of people that entered and exited, the expressions on the people's faces were completely different. The people who rushed into the mountain gate all had hopeful and excited expressions, and those who walked out of the mountain gate... Most of them had dejected and unwilling expressions.

Even though these people who walked out were dispirited and unwilling, no one revealed any dissatisfaction. There was even less of a person who dared to cause trouble. They all obediently lined up and walked out.

"These people should be here for the Five Mountain Sect's test," Duanmu Kuang thought as he looked at the crowd in front of him.

Duanmu Kuang's guess was right. This was the perfect time for the Five Mountain Sect to recruit disciples every year. These people were all here for the Five Mountain Sect's examination. In the Zhennan feud, the Five Mountain Sect was known as the five big sects, namely the Sky Cloud Martial School, the Flower Pavilion, the Desolate Sky Society, and the Blaze Sect. As one of the five big sects, the Five Mountain Sect had been recruiting disciples for a long time. In the Zhennan feud, its influence could be imagined.

For ordinary people or ordinary warriors, if there was a junior who could join the Five Mountain Sect, even if they could become an outer circle disciple, it would be a great honor to their ancestors. With this kind of mentality, people from all over the land rushed to the Five Mountain Sect with their daughters. This caused a huge crowd in the mountain gate of the Five Mountain Sect.

Duanmu Kuang and the others who got off the back of the eagle naturally attracted the attention of many people. Through the clothes, people knew that the Seventh Elder and the others were from the Five Mountain Sect, but Duanmu Kuang wasn't wearing the uniform of the Five Mountain Sect. His identity caused the crowd to discuss amongst themselves. The disciples who were guarding the mountain gate hurried over and greeted the Seventh Elder and the others. At the same time, they were secretly sizing up Duanmu Kuang. They were the outer circle disciples of Five Mountain Sect. They had never seen someone like Duanmu Kuang when they were guarding the gate. Furthermore, Duanmu Kuang had come back with the Seventh Elder and a few senior brothers and sisters from the inner circle. This naturally made them curious.

The Seventh Elder only nodded his head in response to their greetings. After giving them some instructions, he turned around and said to Duanmu Kuang, "Duanmu Kuang, I have already told them about your situation. They will bring you to the examination venue later. As for whether you will become an inner sect disciple or an outer sect disciple... We will return to the inner peak first. "

After the Seventh Elder finished speaking, he led Zhong Lingyan and the others towards the inner peak. Duanmu Kuang hurriedly bowed.

"Silly brat, you can do it. I will come and find you another day." Zhong Lingyan's pleasant voice entered his ears. Looking at the beautiful woman's back as she left, Duanmu Kuang could not help but be stunned.
