"Haotian, you may leave!"

This order came from Su Liang. It was no ordinary order. This order made everyone hear his helplessness because he could not bear to see the pain and despair of Haotian.

It had already been a quarter of an hour since Haotian's test. During this quarter of an hour, Su Liang spread out his divine sense and observed the expressions of everyone present.

The Hollow Jade Sect had been established for eight thousand years. It was the earliest sect to appear in the cultivation world. The sect had all sorts of cultivation techniques, but it lacked the techniques to counter the five elements.

The other four sects' appearance time couldn't be compared with the Hollow Jade Sect's, and the sect's cultivation techniques weren't as complete as the Hollow Jade Sect's. They also didn't have the five elements' technique to counter each other.

Once Haotian entered the Hollow Jade Sect, regardless of whether he could cultivate or not, he would be a disciple of the sect. Not to mention the fact that the four sects didn't have a technique to counter the five elements, even with such a technique, the Hollow Jade Sect wouldn't give up Haotian.

Su Liang didn't care about the expressions and thoughts of the people from the four great Immortal Sects. He simply ignored them.

There were experts in the field, and it was just as the crowd had discussed. If the Yin Yang Sect hadn't been destroyed, they could have taken Haotian as their disciple. Unfortunately, they could only think about it now.

Even though the Yinyang Sect was destroyed, the Demon God's Sect was still around. Even if the Yinyang Sect's cultivation method was lost and Haotian could cultivate the demonic cultivation method, it was still possible.

Once Haotian enters the Demon God's Sect to cultivate, he will definitely become an enemy of all the righteous sects in the world. The Hollow Jade Sect didn't want to see such a result, and the other sects also didn't want to see it. Su Liang looked at the few people in the crowd with a meaningful look, then looked at the other few.

The crowd began to discuss and talk about the annihilation of the Yinyang Sect. If it weren't for the changes in these people's emotions, Su Liang would have found it hard to recognize that these people were the remnants of the Yinyang Sect's extermination.

They all had different cultivations. There was only one person who had reached the tribulation stage, and that was Ji Chun. They had arranged Hao Yang Tian for the disciple recruitment ceremony to take the test. The sect's main purpose was simply to help Ji Chun.

The Yin Yang Sect had been destroyed, and Gui Chun had been reduced to a rogue cultivator. Now that the two races were in chaos, if Gui Chun entered the Hollow Jade Sect as guest elder, it would be a good thing for both the Hollow Jade Sect and Gui Chun.

During the sect's disciple recruitment ceremony, more than a hundred tribulation cultivators had come to watch the ceremony. Even if it was Shentu Shun, it was still almost impossible for him to obtain it.

Everyone knew the importance of Shentu Shun. Whether or not he was bestowed by the heavens, for the sake of Shentu Changsheng and for the sake of the future of the Demon God's Sect, it was impossible for the Demon God's Sect to not come.

During the recruitment ceremony, even if the Demon God's Sect found Gui Chun, they wouldn't act against him in order to obtain Shentu Shun. As for leaving the sect, with the way the Demon God's Sect did things, they would definitely eliminate him.

The people of the Hollow Jade Sect could think of these problems, as well as Gui Chun. To resolve this crisis, it was best to stay in the Hollow Jade Sect, but to do so, one needed an opportunity. Now that the opportunity had been brought up by the Hollow Jade Sect, it was Haotian.

Ever since the Demon God's Sect annihilated the Yin Yang Sect, they had been pursuing him. How could Gui Chun not know that, in order to obtain Shentu Shun, he had appeared in the Hollow Jade Sect. If he left the sect, he would definitely be hunted down.

As for now, he could only continue to stay in the Hollow Jade Sect and seek refuge. But with the appearance of Haotian, he could just take him in as a disciple and use his status as a guest elder to stay in the Hollow Jade Sect.

Seeing Gui Chun sympathize with Hao Yang Tian and shake his head and sigh, Su Liang understood Gui Chun's helplessness and helplessly looked at the others.

The Five Great Immortal Sects were still unable to possess a technique to counter the five elements, but the small sects and small sects only had a technique to counter the five elements, which was even more insignificant. Su Liang didn't look at the small sects and small sects' elders, but at the many rogue cultivators.

From the expressions on everyone's faces, Su Liang could see that some people were praising and encouraging Haotian, but they didn't do anything to support him. He could also see that some people were full of pity, ridicule and impatience towards Haotian.

The indifference and indifference of the crowd meant that the hope to change the fate of Haotian had been shattered.

"Ah …"

"Why?"

"I clearly have peerless talent for cultivation, so why can't I cultivate it?"

"Since I can't cultivate, why didn't you let me become a mortal? Why did you give me hope?"

"Since you gave me hope, why do you want me to despair?"

"Ah, I can't accept it!"

"God damn it, why did you do this to me?"

"This is unfair to me!"

"I can't cultivate in this life. If there is an afterlife, even if there is a slight possibility, I, Haotian, will definitely defy the heavens!"

"I can't cry, I want to leave with a smile. This is my final dignity …"

With his ancestor's order, Hao Yangtian understood. This time, he failed to change his fate. He could not blame his ancestor for letting him leave, because no one was willing to take him as a disciple.

No one could blame him for not accepting him as a disciple, because this was his life. He could only blame the heavens for giving him peerless cultivation talent, yet not letting him cultivate it.

The heavens had treated him unfairly. He felt sad and indignant, but there was nothing he could do. He could only look forward to the next life.

In these three years, he was despised, ridiculed, and rolled his eyes. In order to change his fate, he braved the ridicule of the entire world and decisively appeared in front of everyone under the heavens. The result was still depressing.

"…"

Receiving the order from the ancestor master, Haotian didn't pay any more attention to the distinguished guests of the sect. He knelt down towards Yin Xian, Su Liang, and Wen Su without saying a word. He only answered with three bangs of his head.

The people in the great hall finished their tests and returned to the great hall. He knew that these people wanted to take him as their master, and he had already lost the right to take them as his master, so he was no longer able to enter the great hall.

If they couldn't enter the main hall and could only stay, it would only be more embarrassing. The only option was to leave the main hall, leave the plaza, and return to their residences, waiting for the sect's arrangements.

"Sigh, he clearly has excellent cultivation talent, but he can't cultivate. If it were us, we probably wouldn't be able to accept such a blow. He actually can endure it. This child's temperament is not bad, but it's a pity!"

"That's right …"

Haotian left. Looking at his desolate back, those who encouraged and supported him could only sigh. Those who mocked and despised him were even more so. Those who remained cold and indifferent.

If Tian Ci was also on the square looking at Hao Yang's bleak back, what kind of mood would he have? He should be feeling sympathy for him.

Since fate had already determined them, there was no need to force them. Since everyone was indifferent, why would they care about their expressions? Haotian had already left.

"Although this Haotian has excellent aptitude, he doesn't have the corresponding cultivation technique, so he's equivalent to trash. Tell me, what do you think the Hollow Jade Sect is trying to do?"

"Could it be that the Hollow Jade Sect found the Five Elements Resisting Technique that was left behind by the Yin Yang Sect?"

"Impossible! If the Hollow Jade Sect can find a technique to counteract the five elements, then once Haotian cultivates it, he will definitely become the foundation of the sect. There's no way anyone else will know about it!"

"What Fellow Daoist said makes sense!"

"Then what does the Hollow Jade Sect mean by this?"

"Who cares what the Hollow Jade Sect wants. This kid is not Shentu Shun, he doesn't care about us!"

"That's true!"

Someone had already seen through the Hollow Jade Sect's intentions by letting Haotian come out for the test. It was just like what some people whispered. No matter what intentions the Hollow Jade Sect had, as long as this matter did not involve Shentu Shun, no one would care about it and point it out.

"… …"

"Fellow cultivator Yin Xian, what does this mean?"

The elder in charge of the disciple test took Hui Jing and the copper mirror, which was a matter of course. However, this proved that whether or not Shen Tu Shun was bestowed with Heaven's Gift, Hui Jing and the copper mirror still needed to be used, and the two mirrors were taken away just like that.

When Hui Jing and the copper mirror were taken away, Yin Xian was not surprised at all. This was because it was one of the steps the sect had arranged for the grand ceremony in advance.

Faced with Cao Ba's question, many people were surprised, and even more people were confused. They were worried that the crowd would misunderstand, so even if Yin Xian didn't want to explain, he couldn't.

"The previous ceremony of accepting a disciple was a great event for this humble sect. It is my honor to be able to attend this ceremony!"

"Tian Ci, you are my esteemed guest. I understand that you are very concerned about me. Like you, I am also very concerned about you."

"Since Fellow Daoists are here to observe the ceremony, I will definitely give you fellow Daoists, as well as an explanation to everyone in the world. Fellow Daoists, please do not worry too much!"

"Fellow Daoists, please wait a moment. We understand everything!"

In the disciple recruitment ceremony, the guests were all guests. Whether it was the crowd or the heaven's gifts, they all had to listen to the arrangements of the Hollow Jade Sect. Everyone understood that this was what Yin Xian wanted to express, but at the same time, they also understood that Yin Xian did not want to anger the masses.

After the elder in charge of disciple testing took away Hui Jing and the copper mirror, he did not leave. Instead, he directly went to the position closest to the three palms and took out Hui Jing and the copper mirror.

When Hui Jing and the copper mirror appeared before the crowd, everyone understood the Hollow Jade Sect's intention. Whether or not the heaven's gift was Shentu Shun, during the test, this was a form of protection for the heaven's gift.

This also confirmed what Yin Xian said. Not only was everyone concerned about Tian Ci, the Hollow Jade Sect was also concerned about her. This was a scheme, but no one could say anything about it.

Since he had nothing to say, there was no need for him to say anything more. He just waited for the Hollow Jade Sect's next arrangements to be completed.

The disciple recruitment ceremony was only officially over after the test was completed. If there were only a few people here, then the ceremony would definitely be held. However, since there were so many people, it would naturally be inconvenient for the ceremony to take place.

During this period of time, one could only do ordinary things. This ceremony of accepting a master could only be arranged to be held in the end.

"Junior Brother Su, please bring out the Scarlet Core Demon King and Tian Ci, little friend Huo Luan!"

This year's disciple recruitment ceremony of the Hollow Jade Sect was in the name of inviting everyone to attend. In reality, the Hollow Jade Sect had to give an explanation to the people of the world for their status.

Although the ceremony was only a pretense, the disciple recruitment ceremony was, after all, the main topic. Since the disciple recruitment ceremony was only halfway, it started to prove the identity of the heaven's gift, and everyone was caught off guard.

Astonishment and astonishment only lasted for an instant. When they heard that a Heaven's Gift was about to appear, the expressions in almost everyone's eyes changed.
