Chapter 8 Selection

  In the Yang Realm, there are three major factions of demons. The one closest to Leng Qing Town is also the largest among the three, called the "Longevity Gate". The gatekeeper of Longevity Gate is Ye Chuan, a Night Demon-level strongman who is also the second strongest demon in the Yang Realm, only inferior to Qing Shan Dao.

  Zhang Important went to a place, which was 【Long Life Gate】, as soon as he walked to the entrance, he was blocked by two strong men of Lian Ti level.

  "Halt! The Long Life Temple is a sacred place, you cannot enter recklessly." One of them, holding a long spear, shouted sternly.

  "I'm not here to cause trouble, I'm here to collect the reward." Zhang said loudly.

  "A reward?" The guard looked him up and down, asking in puzzlement.

  "What bounty can you lead."

  "I caught one who claims to be a cultivator of the Wang Dao sect." As soon as Zhang Chong said this, he heard the two guards burst out laughing, one in front and one behind.

  "What?" One of them pointed at Zhang Chong's frail figure and said with a smile.

  "Did you catch Wang Daozhong? Just with your ability? Then I also caught the leader of Shu Mountain!"

  Zhang Chong saw they didn't believe him, so he raised his ring high and said:

  "You don't believe me? Well, here's the proof."

  After saying this, he shouted towards the ring,

  "Wang Daozhong."

  Wang Daozhong was almost killed by Zhang Chong's anger yesterday. Now seeing him shouting again, he replied in a bad temper:

  "Leave me alone."

  "Did you hear that?" Zhang Chong heard Wang Daozhong utter a sentence and then proudly said to the two guards,

  "You heard that."

  Two guards were stunned and looked at each other, saying

  "What did you hear? Are you talking to yourself? Don't tell me this broken ring is making a sound."

  Then he burst out laughing again.

  At this time, Zhang Chong finally understood that except for him, others couldn't hear what Wang Daozhong was saying. However, he still didn't give up and took out a few pieces of paper filled with words from his pocket.

  He waved these papers in front of the two guards for a few times and said,

  "You may not be able to hear it, but I can. Look, this is a cultivation technique that he taught me."

  As soon as he took out this paper, it was snatched away by the guard, who looked at it for a few moments before bursting into laughter again.

  "This is still a cultivation technique, I can write it too, haha."

  Zhang Chong listened to their laughter, knowing that they were laughing at his scribbles. He snatched it back and said, "You can't read, I'll read it out loud for you."

  Having said that, he began to read aloud.

  It turns out that those who are willing to practice demonic cultivation, most of them are poor people who can't make a living. Cultivating the body doesn't seem like building a foundation, as long as you have perseverance, and with time, most people can succeed. This also means that these two guards had never heard of any immortal cultivation techniques.

  They had already determined through previous judgments that this guy was here to cause trouble, so no matter what he said, they couldn't stop laughing.

  At this time, a man came from afar, riding on a unicorn rhino, walking slowly. Behind him, ten refining-level powerhouses followed.

  As they watched the figure approaching, the two guards were also frightened. They quickly kicked Zhang Chong to the ground and kicked him again, knocking him unconscious. They recognized the person walking towards them as a powerful warrior named Tu Bo, who was highly valued by Feng Xiaolou. He had already reached the ninth level of divine power and was only one step away from reaching the Night Demon level. The guards did not want this important figure to see a madman causing trouble at the gate.

  Tu Bo slowly walked to the door and looked at Zhang Chong who was fainting behind the guard, asking:

  "Who is this?"

  One of them was about to answer when the person next to him spoke up even quicker and said

  "The young man was extremely hungry and fainted at our doorstep."

  "Oh," Tu Bo listened to this and looked at Zhang Chong again, seeing that he was very young, then said:

  "These two days aren't for gathering all the young people nearby to select disciples of the Refining Body Tier, right? Alright, give him some food and let him participate as well."

  After finishing this sentence, Tu Ba led his men and walked into the door.

  The guard didn't let out a sigh of relief until Tubas had walked far away. One of the guards who hadn't spoken yet turned to another and said,

  "How could you and Tu Ba lie like this?"

  "So what do you want me to say, that we were knocked unconscious? That we let him wreak havoc here for a long time? Wouldn't saying all this be asking for trouble?"

  That man heavily patted his head and said with his mouth.

  "But now, Toubatsu-sama wants him to participate in the selection, what should we do?"

  "What's to be done? Just follow suit and that's it. These are the words of Master Tuo Ba, if anything happens, he'll take responsibility."

  Zhang Chong never expected that after being kicked unconscious, not only did he get a meal out of it, but also got the opportunity to participate in the selection for disciples of the Refining Body level. As he stood among the crowd, he was also extremely excited.

  "If I can get in successfully, then for the rest of my life, I won't have to worry about food." He was secretly encouraging himself.

  By his side stood a youth about the same age as him, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome and extraordinary. His figure was obviously much more robust than Zhang's.

  Zhang Chong warmly greeted him with a friendly smile.

  "Hello, I'm Zhang Chong."

  "My name is Liu Sheng."

  The man also nodded in a friendly manner, but his expression remained serious throughout.

  The selection was simple. Each person took turns going up, striking a green stone and splitting it open, thus passing the test. Therefore, although there were many people on the field, progress was extremely fast.

  Suddenly, in the team, a strange commotion arose. Zhang Chong discovered that two refining-level powerhouses were dragging away a struggling young man who had already been seriously injured, but was still speaking.

  "I just know a few magic spells, I haven't cultivated anything."

  "What's going on here?"

  Zhang Chong asked Liu Sheng.

  "That young man knows the secret of the immortal cultivator's technique, as a rule, he should be put to death."

  Liu Sheng said faintly, and at the same time, a mournful cry came from a distance.

  This sound caused Zhang Chong's face to turn white instantly, and he immediately thought that he was just loudly reciting the cultivation mantra a moment ago?

  This couldn't help but make him feel extremely fortunate. If those two guards had really understood, wouldn't he have ended up like that young man, dying miserably on the spot?

  "Brother can't die, brother must live on strongly." Zhang Chong's heart was silently reciting this phrase, his legs were lightly trembling, apparently still in a state of fear. And his hand that was about to pat his chest froze suddenly, for there was a piece of paper with written talismans at that spot.

  "He mustn't be discovered." Zhang Chong thought to himself, taking a wrong step towards the back of Liu Sheng, borrowing half a step, and at this time, he lightly pulled out a corner of the paper and quickly began to chew it.

  Liu Sheng was standing there, standing upright like a flagpole, but he was also disturbed by the rustling sound behind him. He turned his head to take a look and found that Zhang Chong was hiding there, eating something with big mouthfuls.

  "What are you doing?" Liu Sheng asked.

  "I'm hungry." Zhang Chong replied vaguely, and then swallowed even more of the paper with big gulps, regardless of how unpalatable it was.

  Liu Sheng

  Before he knew it, it was Liu Sheng's turn to take the stage. He walked quickly onto the stage where nine green stones were placed. The one on the far left was only the size of a brick, while the one on the far right was as big as a person. Liu Sheng didn't hesitate and walked straight to the largest stone. With a calm and composed demeanor, he let out a loud "Hah!" and struck the stone with his palm. The stone split open like it had been cut with a knife, breaking cleanly in half from top to bottom.

  "Good skill," Tuo Ba said lightly, applauding softly as he sat there, turning to say to the side.

  "This Liu Sheng, I'll have him come see me later."

  After a while, it was Zhang Chong's turn to take the stage. He took a deep breath and said to himself in his heart,

  "Fifteen years of hard work, it's all about today, I must crack it open, I must crack it open."

  He walked onto the field and went straight to the smallest stone. With a loud shout, he swung his palm and chopped it down.
