Invasion of the Heavens from Eternal Life

Chapter 48 Fang Qingxue's Recommendation of the Immortal Courtyard

At this moment, Fang Han suddenly sensed movement behind him. Before he could turn around, he heard a cold voice saying, "To be able to break through the sixth level of physical aura is already considered a genius. It seems that no one in our Fang family has reached this level. What is your name?"

Turning around, he saw a beautiful woman in flowing white clothes, who looked like the Guanghan Fairy or the Deep Sea Dragon Girl, looking at him from behind.

"Hello, Miss!" Fang Han said.

"It's you!" Fang Qingxue couldn't help but say in surprise when she saw Fang Han turning around.

Fang Qingxue still remembered the servant who had eaten the guts of a unicorn viper. She had even appointed him as the chief steward of Purple Lightning Peak's spirit beasts. After all, he was a talent of the Fang family, and she had asked Fang Qiang to look after him. Unexpectedly, in just over a month, he had broken through from the fifth level of the Divine Power Realm in the Physical Secret Realm to the sixth level of the Aura Realm in the Physical Secret Realm—a truly remarkable advancement.

After looking Fang Han up and down, Fang Qingxue couldn't help but nodded when she saw that he had abundant energy and a solid foundation.

As if he had thought of something, he said, "You've actually broken through the Qi realm. That's impressive! It would be a bit of a waste of your talent to have you help me raise spirit beasts. Coincidentally, our Fang family still has a spot for outer disciples in the Yuhua Sect, so you can fill it. If you can be promoted to an inner disciple, you might even be rewarded with a spirit weapon."

"Miss, I'm just a servant. Isn't this inappropriate?"

Fang Han said in surprise, he was indeed a little surprised.

All of these ordinary mortals had no status within the Yuhua Sect; they were nothing more than slaves. Only by becoming a Yuhua Sect disciple could one attain some status within the sect. This status surpassed even that of a secular emperor, and for ordinary slaves, it was a step to heaven! You have to know that even the ancestor of the Fang family was only an outer disciple within the Yuhua Sect.

Entering the Yuhua Sect, one could also learn more cultivation methods. The Heaven-Blocking Method and the Eternal Life Method were two different systems. Although Fang Han possessed the complete "Demon Emperor Ancient Scripture," it could only be used to cultivate the Heaven-Blocking Method. Advancing the Eternal Life Method required systematic study. Simply working in isolation without guidance would make a breakthrough nearly impossible.

Of course, if I don’t break through the realm of aura, this opportunity will definitely not fall on me.

"If I say you can do it, then you can do it. Don't underestimate yourself. In this world, it's not your status that determines your survival, but your strength. Only strength is eternal. From now on, you won't have to raise spirit beasts. Today, take my handwritten letter and go to the place where you can register as outer disciples."

Fang Qingxue said this in a tone that left no room for doubt. Then, he waved his hand, and a snow sign flew out from nowhere. Then, a ball of purple lightning appeared in his palm, attached to the snow sign, and transformed into eight large characters, which kept moving and flickering.

"Fang Han, outer disciple, accepted!"

These were the large characters condensed from lightning. After receiving the letter of introduction, Fang Han turned back to look at Fang Qingxue, but her figure had disappeared without a trace.

The next day, Fang Han didn't immediately head to the outer disciples' registration area. Instead, after serving "Crane Fairy," he gathered his 250 servants and began to lecture them. Finally, he selected a trusted aide to temporarily manage the "Spirit Beast Palace." His name was Fang Qing, a dutiful and honest servant. Over the course of a month, Fang Han had gotten to know his servants' personalities well. Most of them were bullies who feared the strong and bullied the weak. As long as he remained within the Yuhua Sect, these servants wouldn't dare to challenge him.

The true residence of the Yuhua Sect's outer and inner disciples was a city nestled in a plain nestled among the Yuhua Immortal Mountain. Within the city lay numerous academies and halls, with many disciples roaming about. From a high vantage point, they looked as tiny as ants.

This mountain plain appears extremely abrupt among the mountains, as if a powerful person used his magical power to move mountains and fill the sea to directly move many mountains and create such a mountain plain.

After everything was arranged, Fang Han rode on "Crane Fairy" and came to the mountain plain.

From Fang Qiang, Fang Han learned that there were many disciples in the Yuhua Sect. There were hundreds of thousands of outer disciples alone, more than 5,000 inner disciples, and 108 true disciples.

These disciples are all registered in the Yuhua Sect and have the official status of Yuhua Sect disciples.

Beyond that, there were countless servants who performed odd jobs within the sect and served the true disciples. As for the outer and inner disciples of the Yuhua Sect, they all lived in the city above the plains. "Fang Han! I can only take you here. The skies above this plain are restricted from flying. After dropping you off, I'll return to Zidian Peak. If you need me, just call me through the 'Spirit Beast Card.'" A sweet, female voice emanated from the Spirit Beast Card, a reluctant tone as Crane Fairy said.

"Okay, Miss Crane, go first. When I come across something delicious in the future, I will call you the first time!" Noticing the crane's disappointment, Fang Han patted the crane fairy's wings and comforted her.

"Okay! It's a deal! Pinky promise~" Fairy Crane said happily.

It touched Fang Han lightly with its wing feathers, flew around him, let out a long roar, flew into the top of the clouds, and flew towards Zi Dian Peak.

After watching "Crane Fairy" leave, Fang Han did not delay. He walked along the flat bluestone brick road outside the plain, carrying Fang Qingxue's handwritten letter, and went directly into the city and arrived outside the mansion on the east side of the city.

There is a plaque on the mansion that reads "Taxianyuan". The interior is renovated with great splendor and grandeur, and compared with it, the difference between a secular imperial palace is like the difference between a shabby thatched cottage and a prince's mansion.

This "Taxianyuan" is where the outer disciples of Yuhua Sect are assessed.

The Yuhua Immortal Sect's empire encompasses three major secular dynasties: Dali, Daxu, and Dade. The population of the Dali Dynasty alone reaches over seven billion. Countless members of powerful families, nobles, and royal families strive to become disciples of the Yuhua Sect. Even becoming an outer disciple allows one to learn profound and immortal arts, achieving prominence and ultimately serving as a catalyst for advancement in the secular world. This was the case for the ancestors of major families like the Fang family.

Therefore, every year, or even every month, the children of the three dynasties' princes and nobles were recommended to go here for assessment. However, the Yuhua Sect also had certain requirements for the disciples it accepted, only accepting young people, and only those who passed the assessment could be accepted as outer disciples.

At this moment, the square in front of the Stepping Immortals Academy was filled with many young men and women, dressed in rich attire and possessing sharp gazes. These young men and women, waiting here, were clearly recommended disciples about to take the entrance examination. Their lavish attire made it obvious that they were all descendants of royalty, nobles, governors, or even members of the imperial family.

Fang Han was dressed in brocade clothes. Although they were not too luxurious, her temperament was extraordinary. She had her own majesty and bearing. She was not inferior to many children from prominent families.

"In our Yuhua Sect, we're not even allowed to bring along a single servant. Do we have to do all the chores like making fire, cooking, and washing clothes ourselves? If that's the case, how can we have much time to practice?"

A prince holding a purple jade folding fan complained.

Upon hearing this, a man in bright yellow clothes couldn't help but sneer: "Haha! Liu Kang, if you don't like it, you can give the spot to me. It just so happens that one of my younger brothers also wants to enter the Yuhua Sect!"

The two were obviously old acquaintances.

"That's wishful thinking!" Liu Kang snorted coldly.

Once a disciple enters the Yuhua Sect as an outer disciple, their three meals a day are arranged by the sect. Furthermore, they are given talismans such as the "Clean Clothes Talisman," the "Dust Repellent Talisman," and the "Soul Fire Talisman." Their meals are prepared with premium medicinal herbs, a hundred times better than those served in the imperial palace. And this is only for outer disciples. Once admitted into the inner sect, the food is even better. This position is so precious, it's worth a million gold. Even if the emperor asks, he won't give it up.

"Getting a recommendation from an outer disciple is nothing. It's not easy to become an outer disciple! If you can't defeat the divine puppet and pass the test, then everything is in vain." A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl said coldly.

Her skin was as white as jade, her eyebrows were bright and her teeth were white. She wore a fire jade hairpin inlaid with thumb-sized pearls on her head, a bright red dress as bright as fire, and a pair of white jade shoes on her feet. It was obvious that she was also from a noble family.

"That's right, Princess Hongyi is right. Never underestimate the outer sect examination! The divine puppets used in the outer sect examination are rumored to be incredibly powerful, invulnerable to swords and spears, and three to five times stronger than masters at the divine realm, making them extremely difficult to defeat. Last year, three princes of our Dade Dynasty failed the examination. You must be careful!"

Another disciple of a prince from the Dade Dynasty said.
