Chapter 2044: Entrance Test Translator: Legge The few cultivators thought that Su Zimo had already gone far away and could not hear what they were saying. In reality, Su Zimo had the Grade 10 Green Lotus True Body and his hearing was strong. He heard their conversation clearly! “There’s such a rumor?” Su Zimo murmured softly. It seemed like Astral Gate was not an ordinary black-grade sect. However, those rumors did not affect him much. He only wanted to enter Astral Sect this time round to search for a quiet place to cultivate in peace. After a period of time, when his cultivation advanced and the search outside gradually relaxed, he would leave Astral Sect. A few hours later, Su Zimo’s gaze froze and he finally caught sight of seven majestic mountains standing on the horizon, almost at the same level as the skies! Astral Sect was right ahead! Before long, Su Zimo arrived at the entrance of Astral Sect. There were already many cultivators gathered in front of the mountain gate. There were tens of thousands of them spread all over the mountains! “There are so many people?” Su Zimo frowned. However, on second thought, it was good that there were more people. He would not attract attention even if he mixed in the crowd. Su Zimo drank his strong wine and surveyed his surroundings with intoxicated eyes. He noticed that among the tens of thousands of cultivators, some were Black Immortals and even low-level ones. Some of them were Earth Immortals. In fact, he even caught sight of a few Grade 7 Earth Immortals in the crowd! Among the group of cultivators, some of them were gathered with extraordinary bearings and similar attire. They wore the same badges and looked like they were from the same faction. According to the older cultivator from before, there was a high chance that these cultivators came from the same family clan. Su Zimo swept his intoxicated gaze around and saw a Grade 3 Black Immortal. He leaned forward and grabbed the latter to a corner. “Bloody hell, a Grade 3 Black Immortal like you came to join Astral Sect?” Su Zimo cursed and glared at that person drunkenly. The Grade 3 Black Immortal was skinny and had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. His eyes darted around and he could not move at all against Su Zimo’s palm! Su Zimo’s breath reeked of wine and that person almost vomited. However, when he sensed Su Zimo’s powerful aura suppressing him completely, he swallowed the vomit in his mouth. The person’s face flushed purple and he was so scared that he was about to cry. With a trembling voice, he said, “Exalted Immortal, I’m sorry, I was in the wrong. I’ll leave now.” When Su Zimo saw that, he felt a sense of guilt. Initially, he did not want to reveal any loopholes. To think that he would scare this person out of his wits. Instantly, he released the person and harrumphed coldly. “You’re not allowed to leave. Come back!” “Alright, alright. I won’t leave. I’ll listen to you, Exalted Immortal!” The person’s voice was trembling—it was clear that he was scared out of his wits. He was completely stunned. He could neither leave nor not leave. Su Zimo took out an Essence Condensation Pill from his storage bag and flicked his finger gently, causing it to land in front of the person. “I’ll ask you a few questions. Answer them truthfully.” “Exalted Immortal, please ask. I’ll tell you everything I know!” Although that person said that, he did not dare to take the Minor Essence Condensation Pill. Su Zimo asked, “Why hasn’t Astral Sect’s recruitment of disciples started yet?” The person said hurriedly, “Exalted Immortal, you don’t know. Every time Astral Sect opens its doors to take in disciples, it has to be during a fixed period. In a few days, it will officially begin.” Su Zimo acknowledged and asked again, “What are the rules for Astral Sect to accept disciples? Why do I see so many different cultivation realms?” “From what I know, Astral Sect recruits disciples not through cultivation realms, but through endowment and opportunities.” The person said, “When the mountain gate is opened, the entrance test will begin at night on that stargazing platform.” The person pointed in the direction of Astral Sect. Su Zimo turned around. Behind the mountain gate of Astral Sect, a stone platform stood tall. The person continued, “It’s said that this stargazing platform is made from a meteor and can connect with the stars in the skies. As long as we stand on this stargazing platform and our bodies can trigger starlight, we’ll be considered to have passed the test of Astral Sect and can join the sect.” Su Zimo nodded to himself. The entrance test of Astral Sect was rather unique and did not depend on one’s cultivation realm. However, Su Zimo was not worried. Given his endowment, talent, bloodline, physique and Essence Spirit, he could definitely pass this test. “Alright, I have nothing more for you,” Su Zimo waved it off and took out a few more Minor Essence Condensation Pills, tossing them to the Grade 3 Black Immortal. “Erm…” The person rubbed his palms and wanted to take it, but he was still a little afraid. Although it was only a few Minor Essence Condensation Pills, they were rare resources for him! Just as he was hesitating, Su Zimo had already turned to leave after drinking his strong wine. The person picked up the Minor Essence Condensation Pills hurriedly and was delighted. Su Zimo found a random spot and laid down nonchalantly without caring about the dust beneath him. Placing the wine jar on his chest, he closed his eyes and waited patiently. In the next few days, more and more cultivators gathered in Astral Sect. By the time the official recruitment of disciples began, there were already a hundred thousand cultivators gathered outside the sect! This was not a small scale. To outsiders, Su Zimo was mostly drunk and asleep at the side. However, among the hundred thousand cultivators, he had already roughly understood the background of some of them through listening. This night, the stars were resplendent and the mountain gate opened. Three middle-aged men stood above the mountain gate. They wore Daoist robes embroidered with stars and had calm expressions. All three of them were Heaven Immortals! “I’m Cold Light,” The Heaven Immortal in the middle looked at the cultivators from all directions and nodded slightly. “Everyone, welcome to Astral Sect to take part in this entrance test.” “I hereby announce the official start of the entrance test!” “Hold on!” Right then, a voice sounded from midair in the distance, interrupting Heaven Immortal Cold Light. Immediately after, two figures tore through the air at an extremely fast speed and arrived before him in the blink of an eye. The two of them wore Black Gold Feather Armors and had cold expressions. Although they were only at the Earth Immortal realm, their auras were not disadvantaged against Heaven Immortal Cold Light! Execution Guards! The crowd exclaimed. Many cultivators revealed deep reverence and fear in their eyes. In the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom, the Execution Guards represented killing and punishment! Although Cold Light was a Heaven Immortal, he did not dare to disobey the orders of the two Earth Execution Guards. Otherwise, he would be challenging the dignity of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom! Su Zimo narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he seemed drunk on the surface, he was secretly on guard. “Fellow Daoists, may I ask why you’re here?” Heaven Immortal Cold Light did not dare to delay and hurried forward. One of the Execution Guards took out a painting from his storage bag and opened it, revealing a painting within. The person in the portrait had green robes, black hair and refined features—it was Su Zimo. “The Great Jin Immortal Kingdom is using all our might to hunt down this person!” The Execution Guard surveyed the many cultivators beneath his feet and said in a deep voice, “If you see this person, capture him immediately without any mistakes! Anyone with any clues can report it and be rewarded generously!”
