Chapter Five: The Purple Sun Gate

  The Drumming Package was killed instantly by Hong Jun, and Sha Qi and the other two envoys stared at Hong Jun with wide eyes in disbelief.

  Killed the Four Tribulations scattered demons, Sha Qi didn't report incorrectly, but reported lightly. Being able to kill the Four Tribulations scattered demons, even Yuanying couldn't escape, what kind of strength is needed for that.

  They didn't dare move, staring at Hong Jun in terror, fearing that the next drumstick would be themselves.

  Gu Pan looked thoughtfully at Hong Jun's empty hands, his "Invisible Knife" had already been put away.

  Hongjun was very satisfied with this effect, put away his cold expression and smiled: "Where are you from?"

  "We are from the Starlight Headquarters of Tenglong Continent!" The two said in unison, they were thoroughly intimidated by Hongjun.

  "Tenglong Continent? Alright, alright, you can leave!"

  "Yes, sir!"

  Gu Pan looked at the three people hastily leaving and then smiled at Hong Jun: "Hong Jun, what kind of weapon did you use just now?"

  "Little punk, little punk, I've told you several times already, I'm older than you, so you should call me Brother Jun or even Big Brother Hongjun!" Hongjun muttered discontentedly, the Wuyin Knife reappearing in his hand.

  "This was the birthday gift my father gave me when I was sixteen!" Hong Jun felt a pang of sadness as he thought of his father. When his soul was absorbed into the Sealing God Chart, Hong Jun had truly felt his father's concern and sorrow.

  "Who exactly is your father? I've only heard you mention him, but never talk about it?" Gu Pan asked with a smile, curiosity in his voice.

  Whenever the topic of his father came up, Hong Jun couldn't help but reveal a hint of pride: "My father is a heroic figure that you can't even imagine, that's... never mind, you wouldn't understand anyway. Xiao Pan, are you interested in traveling to Teng Long Continent?"

  "I don't mind, if you want to go we'll go." Gu Pan smiled and Hong Jun was unwilling to mention his father, Gu Pan also wouldn't ask again.

  "Then let's go to Tenglong Continent!" Hong Jun stood up, pointing in the direction of Tenglong Continent and said: "Between Tenglong Continent and Qianlong, there is a turbulent star sea, where the true masters of Zixuan Star occupy more than half!"

  "Is the other half of the expert in the endless wilderness?"

  "Xiao Pan, you're not stupid either, hehe, let's go, we'll head to Tenglong Continent first!" Hong Jun flew out first.

  Tenglong Continent's largest sect is still the Ziyang Sect.

  Today is the day when Ziyangmen opens its mountain gate to recruit disciples once every hundred years, and the entrance has been packed with countless young people who have rushed to hear the news. When Hongjun and Pangu arrived, they could only stand at the outermost periphery.

  "Hey, young man, ask you, why are there so many people here today?" Hong Jun casually pulled over a teenager and asked with a smile.

  "Don't you know? Then what are you doing here?" The young man rolled his eyes and continued, "Today is the day when Ziyang Gate opens its doors to recruit new disciples. It only happens once every hundred years. Don't hold me back, I still want to squeeze my way to the front, hoping to be noticed by the immortals of Ziyang Gate and become their apprentice!" The young man pushed his way forward with a hopeful gaze, as curses occasionally echoed from inside.

  "Recruiting disciples?" Hong Jun smiled with his eyes narrowed.

  At noon, the Purple Sun Gate's mountain gate opened wide, and dozens of cultivators flew out from it, many of whom were scattered immortals. Outside the crowd, apart from Hong Jun and Gu Pan, there were also people from other sects on the Dragon Continent who came to watch. The Purple Sun Gate couldn't possibly take in all these people; if any of the remaining ones had good potential, they would be taken away as well.

  Hong Jun and Gu Pan blended in with the crowd of people who came to pay their respects, smiling as they watched the Zi Yang Gate's disciple selection ceremony. Every time the Zi Yang Gate opened its mountain gate, it would accept around a hundred or so disciples. The method of accepting disciples was very simple - the Zi Yang Gate had a type of magical artifact that could effectively filter out people with better qualifications.

  The magical instrument of the Purple Sun Sect is a circular disc-shaped artifact that can emit a special light. Those who can stand under this light for half an hour are generally not bad, those who can last for an hour are considered to be of good quality, and if they can last for more than half an hour, they are considered to be top-notch talents. Unfortunately, in the tens of thousands of years since its founding, the Purple Sun Sect has only found two such people, both of whom have now ascended to the realm of immortals, demons, and spirits.

  Ziyangmen's leader, Blue-whiskered True Man, flew to the front, gesturing for the young people below to be quiet. After that, he didn't say anything and directly threw out the magical artifact. The artifact flew into the air and grew larger, enveloping several tens of thousands of young people in a calm silver-white light.

  At first, they were bathed in a silvery glow, and these young people all felt warm and cozy all over, with an indescribable sense of comfort. But before long, some of the young people began to convulse and fall to the ground.

  "What's going on, it's so mysterious, it turns out to be the activation of one's own potential!" Hong Jun smiled and shook his head, and these silver-white rays also shone on him and Gu Pan. Hong Jun found that this ray was just a kind of ray that activated one's own potential, the greater the potential, the longer the duration, otherwise it would be like those young people who fell to the ground, exhausted as if they had overdrawn their physical strength.

  Half a minute later, only over a hundred people were still standing. The Zi Yang Men people in front of the mountain gate all smiled and nodded their heads, they were very satisfied with this time's effect.

  A moment later, there were seven people standing there, including Hong Jun and Pan Gu. The Blue-bearded True Man also noticed the two of them, but found that one was in the middle stage of Golden Elixir and the other was in the late stage of Void Spirit, looking at them with suspicion. Generally, those who can cultivate to the Golden Elixir stage are people with a sect, and they won't come here to pay homage. And when someone else is recruiting disciples, making trouble is a very serious matter.

  Half a time later, only Hong Jun and Pangu were still standing there. The people of the Purple Yang Gate and other small sects who came to find their disciples were all staring at the two, and they just stood there, not leaving, occasionally chatting for a few words.

  Lan Xuzhen couldn't help but speak up first, putting away the magical artifact and asking directly: "Why are you two fellow daoists standing in our disciple selection area?"

  "Old man with blue beard, are you asking us?" Hong Jun smiled and pointed at Bluebeard.

  Lan Xuzhen was most proud of his three-foot-long blue beard, but in the midst of a large crowd, he was called "Blue Beard Old Man" by a Jindan stage junior, and his old face couldn't hold up. The others from the Purple Sun Sect had already flown down, surrounding the two men, glaring at Hong Jun.

  Hong Jun Hao didn't mind the gazes of these people, and said to Bluebeard: "Bluebeard old man, don't misunderstand, my brother and I are just taking a look at how you select your disciples. We won't disturb you, we'll leave first." After saying that, he took Gu Pan and was about to leave.

  "Slow down, where are you from? Whose disciple are you?" Blue-whiskered True Man's face was pulled long, being repeatedly teased by this mid-stage Golden Elixir brat, even the best temperament couldn't withstand it, let alone Blue-whiskered True Man's wasn't that good.

  "We have no sect, no school, just curiosity. Now that our curiosity is satisfied, we should leave. Bluebeard, you won't invite us to stay for dinner, will you?" Hong Jun smiled at the empty space where Bluebeard was standing and turned around to walk away.

  "Insult our sect leader, do you think you can just leave?" A cultivator from the Zi Yang Sect immediately blocked Hong Jun and Gu Pan's path, not allowing them to depart.

  The other cultivators nearby gathered together, watching the two bold and daring youngsters with great interest, who actually dared to tease Bluebeard True Man.

  "Hey Bluebeard old man, won't you let us pass?" Hong Jun stopped in his tracks and continued to shout at the Blue-whiskered True Man.

  "This Daoist friend, I am the leader of the Ziyangmen, Blue-whiskered True Man, not Old Bluebeard. The two of you want to leave, we naturally won't stop you. Huiming, let them go!" Blue-whiskered True Man waved his hand, indicating that the people of Ziyangmen should not block their way and let them leave.

  There are too many people here, and there are other cultivators present. If they see the mighty Purple Sun Sect being troubled by two juniors, one of whom is only in the Golden Elixir stage, the face of the Purple Sun Sect will be lost. Now, Blue Whisker True Man suspects that these two were intentionally sent to cause trouble, and on the surface, he let them leave, but secretly dispatched a Second Tribulation Loose Immortal to follow them.

  Hong Jun mounted his flying sword, Gu Pan flew directly, and the two of them left the Ziyang Gate barracks in a grand manner.

  Ziyang Gate will also take back more than a hundred excellent disciples, and other cultivators will start selecting good disciples from the remaining people. The small storm seems to have passed like this.

  The two loose immortals were followed by Feng Yangzi, who kept a distance. Hong Jun and Gu Pan didn't go anywhere in particular, flying around and playing everywhere, truly having the appearance of touring mountains and rivers.

  After five days, Feng Yangzi couldn't take it anymore and sent a message to Lan Xuzhenren, who agreed to let him forcibly interrogate the two.

  Having received the order, Feng Yangzi directly teleported in front of the two and blocked their way.

  "Why did this Taoist friend block our way?" Gu Pan asked first.

  Feng Yangzi had been harboring a bellyful of anger for the past few days, and now he glared at Gu Pan, rebuking him sternly: "Speak! What kind of people are you? Why did you go to our Ziyang Gate to stir up trouble?" Feng Yangzi's anger was mostly directed at Gu Pan; as for Hong Jun, he didn't even deign to look at him.

  " Fellow Taoist, you've misunderstood. We've already explained it before. We just happened to pass by there, nothing more!" Gu Pan's face was full of surprise, he couldn't understand Feng Yangzi's attitude, and Hong Jun didn't speak up either, taking the opportunity to educate Gu Pan instead.

  "Are you determined not to say anything?" Feng Yangzi's face gradually turned gloomy, and the top-grade spiritual sword flew out, its tip pointing directly at Gu Pan.

  "What do you mean?" Feng Yangzi pointed at him with his sword, and Gu Pan's face changed immediately, taking him back to a past event on Earth in an instant.

  That was still in the era of civilization on Earth, Gu Pan hadn't cultivated yet, the person he loved the most was taken away by others with a gun pointed at his head, when he returned after cultivating, the civilization on Earth had already been destroyed, and that loved one was never seen again.

  Hong Jun quickly noticed Gu Pan's change, Gu Pan clenched his fists tightly, with veins bulging out, and his eyes became fierce. His body also emitted a faint purple glow.

  "I'll kill you if you don't speak! Interrogate that Golden Dan stage brat!" Feng Yangzi's face turned red with rage as he saw Gu Pan dare to stare at him like that. His immortal sword shot forward, intent on killing this person who dared to look down on the Purple Sun Sect and look down on him, Feng Yangzi.
