Chapter 585: Master Lian (Part 5)

However, if the purpose of the Green Lotus Sect’s recruitment competition was to absorb more members, it was unlikely they would encourage infighting.

There weren’t many people who made it to this stage.

As the last person was transported out, it seemed the test had reached its conclusion.

The elusive cultivators of the Green Lotus Sect appeared once again.

This time, besides Senior Brother Renshu Chang, there was also a middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man had higher cultivation and seniority.

Renshu Chang stood respectfully by his side.

"My surname is Han. You may call me Uncle Master Han. First, congratulations on passing the final test..."

A buzz of excitement broke out as those people who is waiting for the next test showed expressions of surprise and joy.

So, it was the final test.

Did this mean they were now disciples of the Green Lotus Sect?

Since the middle-aged man had asked them to call him Uncle Master Han, only sect disciples could do so.

Wigilia Han understood their feelings and did not interrupt their whispered conversations.

"Uncle Master Han, I heard that Master Lian will choose a disciple from among us. May I ask if the result is already decided?"

A richly dressed noble stepped forward and asking him nervously.

His question echoed the thoughts of everyone else here.

The plaza fell silent again, with dozens of eyes fixed on Wigilia Han, filled with tension, anxiety, and anticipation.

A few remained calm.

Wigilia Han’s gaze swept over everyone’s face.

Whether they were truly composed or not, nothing escaped his eyes.

"I know you are all very concerned about it. Some of you are here specifically for Master Lian. However, Master Lian’s thoughts are beyond our understanding."

"You have passed the final test and will now be inner disciples of the Green Lotus Sect. Shortly, Senior Brother Chang will explain it to you what it means to join the Green Lotus Sect..."

Before Wigilia Han could finish his sentence.

From the distant, mist-shrouded peaks, a sudden, awe-inspiring pressure radiated out, forcing everyone to bow their heads in terror.

Even beasts and spirits could not lift their heads, their eyes filled with horror.

In an instant, the presence was quickly retracted, but the deep sense of despair and fear lingered in everyone’s hearts.

An old man in a gray daoist robe walked through the air, standing atop the clouds and looking down at the crowd.

"Welcome, Master Uncle," Wigilia Han and the other three disciples turned in unison, bowing their heads deeply to greet the old man in gray robe.

There were few people in the entire Green Lotus Sect whom they could call Master Uncle, and the old man’s overwhelming presence made it impossible for them to lift their heads.

Everyone instantly guessed the identity of the old man in gray robe—the revered Master Lian, the guardian of the Green Lotus Sect.

Apart from Amalia and Kenny Lin, the others were instantly filled with excitement, their eyes burning with fervor as they gazed at Master Lian.

Having just arrived on Mystic Void Continent, Amalia and Kenny Lin were unaware about Master Lian’s illustrious deeds and did not hope to be chosen by him.

Compared to the others’ excitement, their calm demeanor made them more stand out.

Master Lian nodded his head slightly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd with a sense of pressure.

Even though his aura was restrained to the utmost, everyone still felt their scalps tingle.

"Master Uncle, have you come to choose a disciple?"

Wigilia Han stepped forward, braving the pressure.

He deliberately lowered his voice, ensuring that those in the plaza could not hear him.

"Is there a problem?" Master Lian’s gaze returned to him.

"Of course not," Wigilia Han replied.

He dared not have any objections.

If even the sect leader couldn’t dissuade the Master Uncle’s decision, what could they do?

His presence here was already the answer.

"Master Uncle, may I ask which disciple you have chosen?" Alisha Fan cautiously asked, their curiosity overwhelming their fear.

They did not dare to compete with Master Uncle for a disciple.

Renshu Chang and the white-robed cultivator also looked on expectantly.

"You will know in due time," Master Lian replied calmly.

The four faces did not show any signs of disappointment; they had already received the answer they wanted.

It was clear that Master Uncle had already made his choice.

While everyone was speculating about who had been lucky enough to be chosen by Master Lian, the other peak masters began to appear.

The six other peak masters flew over in unison, landing before Master Lian.

The sight of them bowing together was both grand and imposing.

"Greetings, Master Uncle," they chorused.

Master Lian’s seniority was indeed very high; all the peak masters’ teachers were his juniors.

"No need for formalities," Master Lian said, lifting his wrist lightly.

His voice was crisp and decisive, and the light of great wisdom fell upon each of them.

Wigilia Han explained unhurriedly, "Master Uncle, the Peak Master Kong, and the others have also come to select disciples."

"I am aware," Master Lian replied.

With that, Master Lian looked directly at Kenny Lin in the corner of the plaza and said confidently and authoritatively, "Would you be willing to be my disciple?"

Everyone instantly held their breath, feeling a mix of envy, jealousy, disappointment, and confusion, but almost no resentment.

No one dared to question Master Lian’s criteria for selecting disciples.

However, not knowing the criteria, they evaluated Kenny Lin based solely on his cultivation level and found him to be only at the Foundation Building stage.

Even though he was on the verge of breaking through, they still felt puzzled.

Especially a few people in the plaza who were at the Golden Core stage and not much older than Kenny Lin felt a strong sense of bewilderment mixed with their slight envy.

Surely, Master Lian’s criteria weren’t based on appearance.

They couldn’t believe that for a second.

Wigilia Han and the other peak masters did not think this way.
