Chapter 38 Cloud Heaven Gate

What's happening here?
Could it be that my junior sister's voice didn't actually travel through the air, but instead resounded directly in my mind, which is why her voice wasn't affected by distance?

I need to think about this matter carefully after I get back from this competition.

The three of them didn't dwell on it too much and quickly refocused their attention on answering the questions.

Mo Jiuwei was not idle at all; she was curiously looking around, her eyes lingering on the handsome men and beautiful women.

The competition for the Three Arts Flower Gate has an age requirement; those over 40 years old cannot participate.

In the world of cultivation, 40 years old is still considered young. Even the lowest-ranking Qi Refining disciple has a lifespan of 200 years.

Therefore, almost everyone present was a young cultivator, and they had all dressed up specially, looking refreshed and energetic.

When she got tired of watching, Mo Jiuwei simply closed her eyes and took a nap. Anyway, she had a "bed" wherever she was, so she didn't need to pick and choose the time and place.

After the competition, Mo Jiuwei woke up from her nap.

She yawned, then quickly moved her neck, trying to find where Hu Jiu and the others were.

Is the competition over? What were the results?

Where are they?

It feels like so many people are missing.

Chen Lan smiled and said, "Junior Sister Jiuwei, you're awake? Your Senior Brother Hu and the others have passed the first round of preliminary screening and are now in the second round. If they pass this round as well, they will be qualified to participate in tomorrow's official competition."

Today's competition is just a selection process, not even a formal contest. Only those who make it to tomorrow will be considered.

Those disciples who failed the first round of screening had no face to stay and left immediately, many of them crying as they went.

Tsk, still too young!
Mo Jiuwei then understood.

She moved her head and soon spotted a figure not far away, engrossed in writing.

It's Du Yue!
Both rounds of the initial screening involved answering questions, but the content differed. The second round had fewer questions, but the difficulty was significantly increased.

Du Yue was writing when she suddenly heard her junior sister's voice—

[Ugh, that person was actually copying Senior Sister Du's answers! How shameless!]

Huh? Someone copied themselves?
Du Yue frowned and subconsciously turned her head sharply, only to meet a pair of astonished and panicked faces.

The man was startled; he was so engrossed in copying that he never expected to be discovered so quickly.

He froze for a moment, then his face turned red, and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at her.

[Haha, I finally found it!]

After watching this scene, Mo Jiuwei suddenly twitched her little nose.

Hmm, what's that smell? It seems kind of familiar...

[Never mind, it's too bland, I can't remember.]

Mo Jiuwei tried hard to think, but when she realized she really couldn't remember, she gave up. And probably because she was tired of thinking, she turned her head and fell asleep again.

Chen Lan found it amusing, reached out and straightened her tilted head, then affectionately touched her nose.

"Uncle-Master, can you smell anything?" Yi Xingyun asked Liu Feng in a low voice.

Liu Feng had been sniffing around ever since he heard Mo Jiuwei's voice, but he hadn't gotten anything out of it.

"I don't know what she was talking about, I couldn't smell it."

"Maybe it's because there were so many people and so many different opinions, but I didn't find anything particularly special," Yi Xingyun said. Another 15 minutes passed, and the second round of preliminary screening was also completed.

The results were given on the spot. With just a glance at what they wrote, the seniors could quickly determine whether a person should be eliminated or kept.

"Great! All three of us passed!" Yi Xingyun was overjoyed upon seeing the results!

The eliminated disciples left dejectedly with their heads hanging low, while the remaining disciples all wore happy expressions, including three members of their Immortal Sect.

"Not bad, not bad." Liu Feng laughed out loud. "It seems that we have achieved our goal for this trip. We are definitely not going to be at the bottom anymore."

"How could we possibly be at the bottom? So many people were eliminated in the first round, but we still managed to make it to the second round," Yi Xingyun said with a smile. "It seems that, just like our junior sister... they are indeed excellent."

Yi Xingyun had just taken a walk around the area and inquired about the situation. He then learned that most of the disciples who were competing had been learning their skills for one or two decades, with the shortest period being eight years.

The three members of their sect had only studied for two months!
What else could this be but excellence?
Hu Jiu and the others walked over with smiles on their faces.

"Uncle-Master, I have not failed you!"

Liu Feng grinned from ear to ear, "Good, good, good, you did a great job! You've worked hard. Let's go to Dan Yin Sect now, you should all get some rest."

After passing the selection process, they can stay tonight, and the cave dwellings they are assigned to are within the Dan Yin Sect.

After a night's rest, the competition began on the second day.

Mo Jiuwei was taken to the sidelines to watch, but she twitched her nose again as soon as she arrived.

Hmm, the flavor seems a little stronger today?

What did it taste like...? I can't remember...

Chen Lan couldn't help but look at Liu Feng, asking with her eyes.

But Liu Feng took a deep sniff and still shook his head.

They could neither smell it nor identify the scent that Mo Jiuwei was referring to.

Liu Feng glanced at Mo Jiuwei and suddenly felt an urge to ask her what it tasted like.

He inexplicably felt that the scent that Mo Jiuwei noticed for two consecutive days must not be from an ordinary source.

But after thinking about it, I decided against it and didn't ask any further questions.

"Meng Ling? It really is you!"

A voice suddenly rang out, and then two female cultivators walked out from the side of the crowd.

They were not very old, only about fifteen or sixteen, but they were dressed in luxurious clothes, with Qiankun bracelets or Qiankun rings on their hands, and their swords were all of the yellow grade.

Graded magical artifacts are more than ten times the price of ordinary ones, which alone shows that the two are of extraordinary origin.

The two women were looking at Meng Ling with surprise, especially when Meng Ling turned around at the sound and faced them.

Meng Ling's heart sank, and her brows furrowed.

"Meng Ling, what are you doing here? Liu Liu said she saw you earlier, but I didn't believe her. I didn't expect it to be true..." The woman in red looked at Meng Ling, then at Liu Feng and the others, "What sect are you from?"

"And who are you?" Yi Xingyun noticed Meng Ling's expression, which was definitely not the joy of seeing an old friend, so he roughly guessed the identities of the two.

“We are elite disciples of the Yuntian Sect. I am Liu Xiao, and this is my junior sister, Qiao Wenxue,” the woman in pink replied.

It really is Yuntianmen!
If we were to rank the major sects across the entire continent, the Cloud Heaven Sect would definitely be among the top five.

The fact that these two were able to enter the Cloud Heaven Gate and become its elite disciples is enough to show their extraordinary talent.
