Master, when can I become your wife?

"Are we just going to stand here and watch? It doesn't seem very interesting."

Looking at the crowd who were engrossed in the illusion, Wu Lingxiao felt somewhat bored.

This is his first time coming to see the sect recruit new members.

I originally thought I'd see if there was anything interesting, but now it seems I was just overthinking it.

Yue Qingge explained, "Otherwise what? Do you want to watch these people fight? We're recruiting disciples, not warmongers."

"Tch." Wu Lingxiao curled his lip. "Then I'm going back to climb the tower."

After saying that, Wu Lingxiao turned and left.

Long Xiao was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed.

What happened here has nothing to do with him; he should just go back and climb the tower with Wu Lingxiao.

Ye Junze looked at the Mirror of Inquiry, stretched, and said, "This thing seems to last for about ten days. I'm going back to get some sleep. You can wait here by yourself."

He was quite familiar with the recruitment process for sects.

After all, he had originally planned to find himself a disciple when the sect recruited new members.

But there's no need for that now.

The process of recruiting disciples for the Daoist Sect is very simple.

The Mirror of Inquiry is used to screen qualifications.

The "Heart-Questioning Mirror" is used to screen people's character.

Only those who meet both the qualifications and moral character standards are eligible to join the Daoist sect.

"Hmm, let me take another look."

Lin Qiu nodded; he was still looking for a disciple he liked.

……

Several days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Before the sect's recruitment process was even over, the Dao Asking Sect welcomed new guests.

On this day, a celestial ship bearing the flag of the Heavenly Demon Palace arrived outside the Dao Seeking Sect.

It was obvious that people from the Heavenly Demon Palace had arrived.

As for what we're here for...

Ye Junze could roughly guess what was going on, but he didn't expect the Heavenly Demon Palace to arrive so quickly, as if it had been planned all along.

On the celestial ship of the Heavenly Demon Palace, a graceful woman stood in front.

Standing beside him were the demoness of the Heavenly Demon Palace and the young master of the Heavenly Demon Palace.

The woman standing at the front was Ling Lian, the second protector of the Heavenly Demon Palace. When she saw the recruitment notice from the Dao Seeking Sect, she couldn't help but smile.

"Is the Dao Seeking Sect recruiting new disciples? Looks like we've come at just the right time."

"The Heavenly Demon Palace? What are you doing here?"

Upon seeing the Heavenly Demon Palace's immortal ship, Yue Wuchou flew over to inquire.

He wasn't worried that the Heavenly Demon Palace was there to cause trouble.

After all, the people on the immortal ship didn't have the ability to cause trouble; they couldn't even break the sect's protective formation.

Besides, who would want to cause trouble with their own holy son or daughter?

The young master and the demoness of the Heavenly Demon Palace are comparable to the holy sons and daughters of their Dao Seeking Sect.

However, these two are slightly older, so their cultivation levels are above Wu Lingxiao and Yue Qingge.

Ling Lian smiled slightly and said, "Of course we were invited to participate in this exchange match."

"An exchange competition?"

Yue Wuchou frowned; he really didn't know about this.

Wu Tianqiong didn't tell him.

"Alright."

Yue Wuchou did not stop them, but instead had the group of people let in.

There's no need to be wary of them; the Daoist Sect has the resources to do so.

The Heavenly Demon Palace's immortal ship was very conspicuous, and upon entering the Dao Seeking Sect, it immediately attracted the attention of many disciples.

"Holy crap, isn't that the Heavenly Demon Palace's immortal ship? Has the Heavenly Demon Palace invaded?"

"What are you thinking? What makes these people think they can break in?"

"They must have come to our Dao Seeking Sect to observe, since the people from the Heavenly Demon Palace are like this, they have no knowledge."

"Indeed, but I'm a little worried that these lunatics will cause trouble."

"This is not something you should worry about."

"..."

The disciples who were passing by offered their opinions.

The disciples of the Heavenly Demon Palace who were on the ship blushed slightly upon hearing the Dao Asking Sect's evaluation of them.

Who are you calling a lunatic?

Oh shit!

If they weren't currently on the territory of the Dao Seeking Sect, they would definitely go down and show these people what the price is!

What's infuriating is that they can only vent their anger in their hearts at the families of the Dao Seeking Sect disciples, but they can't rush out to teach them a lesson.

Many disciples of the Heavenly Demon Palace entered the immortal ship cursing and swearing, determined to ignore the noise and not want to be bothered.

Not long after the Heavenly Demon Palace Immortal Ship entered the Dao Seeking Sect.

Ye Junze was summoned to the council hall once again.

However, this time he came alone.

Looking at the empty council hall, Ye Junze immediately prepared to leave.

Yes, the person sitting inside, Wu Tianqiong, is not human at all.

This probably means they only called him over.

Otherwise, even if the other eleven peak masters didn't give them face, surely they all did?

"Hey, hey, don't go!"

Wu Tianqiong immediately stopped Ye Junze and explained helplessly, "Everyone else made excuses for not being able to come, so this time we can only trouble you."

Ye Junze was stunned. Good heavens, none of them really gave him any face.

It seems I misunderstood Wu Tianqiong.

"what?"

Since things have come to this point, let's ask about the situation first before deciding whether to agree or not.

Wu Tianqiong explained, "The Heavenly Demon Palace has sent people. This exchange competition will be held at our Dao Asking Sect."

Ye Junze nodded. "And then?"

Wu Tianqiong shrugged and said, "Hey, you know, in these kinds of exchange matches, whoever wins gets to save face."

"I called you here not because I need your help with something, but to ask if your two disciples can win the championship in their respective realms."

Ye Junze's expression was strange. "That's it? Why didn't the others want to come? Did you not even invite them?"

"Ahem, that's not important, is it?"

Wu Tianqiong coughed slightly, looking somewhat embarrassed. Clearly, he was still a little ashamed to have deceived a child.

Ye Junze was speechless. "I'm not so sure about Qingqiu Xue. She doesn't cultivate the techniques of Hidden Sword Peak, and she's still young. As for Luo Yunxi, she should be achievable."

Both Qingqiu Xue and Luo Yunxi have a happiness index of around 120 points.

This means they have an additional 120% increase in combat power, making them absolutely top-tier among those of the same level.

But Qingqiu Xue is still young, and Ye Junze does not intend to let her participate.

Wu Tianqiong smiled and nodded. "That's good. So, can you win the championship in the Tribulation Transcending stage?"

"Do you want to listen to what you're saying? I am the peak master, and I'm only at the early stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm."

Ye Junze was speechless. Actually, he could understand Wu Tianqiong. It would be very embarrassing to let the opponent win too many games on home turf.

Without going into too much detail, from the Qi Refining stage to the Tribulation Transcending stage, there must be at least four realms where their Dao Seeking Sect has won.

Four to three, that's the most basic requirement.

If it doesn't reach that level... then it means that Wu Tianqiong, the sect leader, is incompetent.

"Yeah, that's a real headache. Seven realms, what if the other side wins the championship? Wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?"

Wu Tianqiong sighed, feeling somewhat exhausted.

Ye Junze: "Six."

Originally, it was thought that Wu Tianqiong only wanted to win, but it turned out that he wanted to win so thoroughly that he was going to be kicked to death by the Heavenly Demon Palace.
