Chapter 211: Shocking the World
“Good…”
As Lin Qingzhu nodded, Meng Tianzheng replied and returned to his seat.
“This is a calamity for the world. We cultivators enjoy the providence of the world. How can we sit back and do nothing? From today onwards, the disciples of the seven factions will surround Qin Chuan’s Heavenly Ridge and set up a defense line.”
At this point, Meng Tianzheng’s gaze became especially firm. He continued, “Release the news that my Heaven Mending Sect is willing to advance and retreat with all living beings, protect a region and never take a step back.”
As soon as these words were spoken, all the masters present understood and stood up in unison.!!
“We will obey Sect Master’s decree!”
Everyone knew what kind of commotion it would cause in the Eastern Wasteland once the news of the Heaven Mending Sect was released. In this crisis, all the Holy Lands chose to protect themselves. Only the Heaven Mending Sect was willing to think for all living beings and protect their safety. Once this news spread, the Heaven Mending Sect’s reputation would reach a peak.
After receiving Meng Tianzheng’s signal, everyone left the Jade Pure Hall one after another and returned to the mountain to make arrangements.
Qi Wuhui, as the promoter, directly came to the disciple recruitment ceremony.
After everyone left, Lin Qingzhu did not stay any longer and also headed towards the assessment venue. At this moment, she was happy that her sect had made such a decision. Apart from being happy, she was also worried that the future would develop into an uncontrollable situation.
On the huge square of the disciple recruitment ceremony, there was a dense crowd. As outstanding geniuses appeared one after another, everyone discussed. This assessment was extremely exciting. During this period of time, they had already seen all kinds of magical physiques and were extremely shocked.
“I’m so nervous! It’s only been half a day, but so many geniuses have already appeared. I wonder if I can pass the first test when it’s my turn later?”
“Phew… There are really many geniuses who came to the Heaven Mending Sect’s disciple recruitment ceremony this time.”
“From the looks of it, there are already five Saint Bodies. There are countless people with innate divine bones.”
“It’s our turn later. We might not be able to pass the first round.” Someone said worriedly. As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere immediately became anxious.
None of them wanted to be eliminated. They had already thought about it repeatedly before coming. In the current Eastern Wasteland, the strongest was the Heaven Mending Sect. It was their honor to be able to enter such a sect, even if it was just a labor disciple. Moreover, it was a very dangerous situation right now. Once they failed to be chosen and left the powerful Heaven Mending Sect, they were in danger of dying at any time. Therefore, this was the entrance examination and also the examination that determined their life and death.
Everyone was nervous, afraid, hesitant, and uneasy.
Just as they were discussing, a stream of light flashed across the sky and a middle-aged man appeared on the stage. He had an upright appearance, was filled with heroic spirit, and had an oppressive aura. The moment he appeared, the square that was originally discussing fell silent.
Everyone’s hearts raced as they felt the suffocating pressure.
“This is… the peak master of the Hidden Sword Peak, Perfected Qi?”
“Heavens, it’s really him. I didn’t expect us to see such a legendary figure.”
After a few seconds of silence, the crowd instantly erupted again.
Qi Wuhui was now a Paragon expert. No matter where he went, he was the focus of everyone’s attention and the admiration of countless people. Most of the people present were ordinary people, as well as some descendants of aristocratic families. However, how many experts could they see? There were probably not many Cardinals, let alone Paragon experts.
The moment Qi Wuhui appeared, he shocked everyone. It also made people believe that only by entering the Heaven Mending Sect would they have a chance to survive.
“Senior Brother Qi, why are you here?”
Elder Wu, who was in charge of the first round of assessment, was stunned when he realized that Qi Wuhui had suddenly arrived. He could not figure out why Qi Wuhui, as the peak master, came here instead of staying in the Jade Pure Hall. This was only the preliminary test. There was nothing to see at all. The test that could truly reveal a person’s talent is at the back.
Could it be that he had an illegitimate son outside who was also participating in this assessment and wanted him to take care of him? Thinking of this, Elder Wu squeezed out a meaningful smile.
“Hehe, should I tell Sister-in-law about this later?” As he thought to himself, Elder Wu became even more suspicious.
Just as he was about to ask, Qi Wuhui slowly walked to the middle of the assessment stage and stared at everyone below the stage. He said coldly, “Let me tell everyone a piece of news…”
After saying that, the crowd instantly erupted.
“What news?”
Everyone asked and looked at Qi Wuhui, not knowing what he was up to.
Qi Wuhui smiled when he saw everyone looking over with solemn expressions. This was the atmosphere he wanted. Otherwise, he would be unhappy when he bragged later.
Qi Wuhui walked to the edge of the stage and looked down at everyone. “Just now, the seven peak masters of my Heaven Mending Sect held a meeting. We’ve made a decision regarding the calamity facing the Eastern Wasteland.”
“What decision?”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately became serious and focused. There was nothing they cared about more now than this. Because no one could guarantee that they would be chosen, they were extremely anxious.
“On the decree of my Heaven Mending Sect’s Sect Master, Heaven Mending Sect is willing to advance and retreat with the world in this calamity. With a hundred miles of Qin Chuan as the boundary, we will set up a defense line. We welcome everyone in the world to come and fight the enemy together…”
“What!”
As Qi Wuhui’s voice fell, everyone present instantly erupted. No one expected the Heaven Mending Sect to suddenly release such news today. Those who had been eliminated just now were originally thinking of going to other Holy Lands to give it a try before the situation crashed.
Now that they heard this, they instantly stopped. If the Heaven Mending Sect took action, there was probably no safer place in this world.
“Heavens! In this crisis, all the Holy Lands have closed their doors. The Heaven Mending Sect actually…”
Some people were indescribably excited, and their voices were trembling. It was as if they had seen a trace of hope in despair.
“At this time, not only did they not close the mountain gate, but they also chose to advance and retreat with all living beings. The Heaven Mending Sect is worthy of being the number one holy land in the Eastern Wasteland. We’re not wrong to come. It is worthy of our respect, worthy of us coming all the way here.”
For a moment, it was as if a huge fire had ignited in everyone’s hearts.
Just as Qi Wuhui had guessed, this news caused a huge commotion as soon as it was released. The crowd was in chaos. Everyone became excited. They saw the hope of survival and the Heaven Mending Sect’s loyalty to the people.
Just like Lin Qingzhu’s Dao Discussion on Mount Yun Ding back then.
To stand up for the world, to stand up for the people, to inherit the ultimate techniques, and to bring peace to the world.
Perhaps this was their founding philosophy, the concept of their cultivation. They had also done it and were already implementing it.
The sky trembled and a voice came from the sky. It was like the sound of the Great Dao, long and distant.
“All elders and disciples of the Heaven Mending Sect, please pay attention. Under the orders of the Sect Master, Heaven Mending Sect will transcend the tribulation for the sake of Qin Chuan’s safety.
“All elders and disciples, move out immediately when you hear the decree. Use the Heavenly Ridge as a boundary and form a formation to fight the enemy. There must be no delay…”
As soon as these words were spoken, the mountain trembled. Tens of thousands of lights flew out from the caves and pavilions. In the sky, it emitted a dazzling seven-colored light.
Everyone was incomparably excited as they looked at the Heaven Mending Sect’s disciples flying down from the sky. When had they ever seen such a scene? There was only reverence and admiration in their eyes, as if they had seen a savior.
In the Seven Peaks, more than ten thousand disciples came out together. All of them went down the mountain and rushed to Qin Chuan’s Heavenly Ridge.
Such a magnificent scene instantly caused a huge commotion, and the scene erupted.
Those high-spirited young men and young beautiful women carried a sword on their backs and left the mountain without looking back.
Everyone was deeply moved, especially the commoners. In order to survive, they specially came up the mountain to seek an immortal encounter. Unfortunately, their talent was limited and they were eliminated. They thought that their lives would end here, but they did not expect the Heaven Mending Sect to not give up on them. They were willing to send out all their forces to protect Qin Chuan’s territory and protect their peace.
For a moment, the name “Heaven Mending Sect” had become much more respectable in everyone’s hearts. It was like an inviolable pure land that occupied an extremely high position in their hearts.
After a commotion, some people knelt down and bowed. “Thank you, Sect Master Meng, for not abandoning us. We are willing to go through any difficulty for the Heaven Mending Sect without hesitation…”
Deafening cries sounded as everyone said from the bottom of their hearts.
When such a shocking scene fell into the eyes of those who had just passed the first round of assessment, they could not help but feel a trace of honor. Even though they were not disciples of the Heaven Mending Sect yet, they felt honored by the orthodoxy they had chosen.
Qi Wuhui felt very relieved when he saw this. He looked up at the disciples of the seven factions who were constantly flying past and felt extremely worried. Back then, weren’t old fellows like them also in high spirits? With a command from the Sect Master, they dared to enter the uninhabited region. They had never feared death.
It was still the same in this generation. As long as Meng Tianzheng gave the order, they would dare to kill the Heavenly King. He was sentimental as he looked at everyone. They must already have the thought of risking their lives for the Heaven Mending Sect. Unless it was those ungrateful villains, no one could resist this scene.
Qi Wuhui glanced at Elder Wu indifferently and said, “The assessment continues.” He had achieved his goal, so there was no need to stay here. As an expert, he naturally had to have the demeanor of an expert.
