Chapter 1317 - Chapter 1317 Chapter 1181 Divine Sect Examination

Chapter 1317: Chapter 1181: Divine Sect Examination Chapter 1317: Chapter 1181: Divine Sect Examination A few days later, Xu Daofeng sent someone to summon Mu Qingyi for an assessment.

Mu Qingyi did not know what the assessments entailed, so she followed Xu Daofeng. Chu Mu wanted to learn more about his father from Xu Daofeng and Lu Yuqin, so he decided to go along to see, while also getting an idea of Divine Sect’s assessments, since he had nothing better to do anyway.

Uncle Bai Yu had already started looking into the Magic Spirit issue. He couldn’t possibly refuse his own daughter’s request and was sure to resolve it; meanwhile, Qingzi’s soul had begun to loosen a bit after signing a soul contract with the Little Demon, gradually showing tendencies of advancing to the Soul Controller level, which made Chu Mu quite jealous.

By the time Morning Crown Prince and Ye Wansheng also owned an Emperor-level Magic Spirit, Chu Mu realized he might soon be the only one alone at the Soul Emperor-level, which was quite a blow to his self-esteem.

Qingzi was cultivating in the courtyard, and Ghost Jinrou couldn’t simply go out, so she had nothing to do but sit in the yard reading a book. Ye Wansheng and Morning Crown Prince often mysteriously disappeared, leaving Chu Mu somewhat idle once again.

When following Mu Qingyi to Divine Sect Mansion, they coincidentally ran into an acquaintance.

“Ah, Sister Mu and Big Brother Chu, what brings you here?” Liao Yu ran over joyfully.

“That’s what we should be asking you,” Mu Qingyi said with a smile.

Liao Yu was quite likable as a kid.

“I originally live in Cloud City. Wen City is Uncle Peng’s home, and I go there to learn things,” Liao Yu explained.

As he was speaking, Liao Yu suddenly had a thought and looked at Chu Mu with sparkling eyes, “Big Brother Chu also intends to join Divine Sect? That would be interesting. Li ZuoTeng and Mu Zheng are both here, and they are the most likely candidates to be chosen by Divine Sect.

Liao Yu mentioned Li ZuoTeng and Mu Zheng, and Chu Mu remembered them as the leaders among the young experts of Cloud Realm.

“That’s not the case; it’s your Sister Mu who wants to join Divine Sect,” Chu Mu shook his head.

Mu Qingyi glanced at Chu Mu, not saying anything, but it was clear she meant to say that it was his idea after all.

“Ah? That’s too bad. Big Brother Chu is so strong; you might not even need the assessments,” Liao Yu said, a bit disappointed.

Even though he hadn’t witnessed it himself, Liao Yu was somewhat convinced that the creature with the Purple Flame capable of contending with the Stone Wing Dragon of Boundary Commander Wu Zhen might well be Chu Mu’s Soul Pet. Such a young and powerful person had even surpassed the two peerless masters he admired, Li ZuoTeng and Mu Zheng.

“You’ve come. Brother Chu, would you like to try as well?” Xu Daofeng seemed to have been waiting here for a while and immediately came over.

“Just taking a look,” Chu Mu wasn’t planning on joining Divine Sect. On one hand, he disliked joining any forces, and on the other, it seemed his father had gone to the Dark Sect. If Divine Sect and Dark Sect were truly at odds, it would be quite awkward.

“Haha, I don’t know why, but I always feel that you are an expert. It would be a shame if you don’t join our Divine Sect,” Xu Daofeng remarked.

“Big Brother Chu is of course an expert, and a very strong one!” Liao Yu interjected, his admiration for Chu Mu probably now surpassing that for the two young experts of Cloud Realm.

Xu Daofeng smiled, seeming to confirm his suspicion that Chu Mu was indeed much more capable than he appeared.

When they entered the courtyard, there were already about a dozen people standing there, apparently all young top experts from Cloud Realm. Chu Mu was surprised to see Wu Xu among them.

Wu Xu certainly couldn’t recognize Chu Mu as he stood next to a man who was somewhat unattractive, speaking amiably.

“That one there is Li ZuoTeng, the strongest among our young generation in Cloud Realm. The only person who can compete with him is Mu Zheng,” Liao Yu hurriedly pointed to the unattractive man.

“Which one is Mu Zheng?” Mu Qingyi, always more interested in those sharing her surname due to their potential familial connection, inquired.

“Are you looking for me, beautiful miss?” Just then, a neatly dressed man nearby turned around and spoke in a very gentlemanly tone.

“It’s Mu Zheng, Sister Mu, that’s him,” Liao Yu said, still excited.

Mu Qingyi looked Mu Zheng over but said nothing.

Mu Zheng gave a slight smile, also remaining silent, but his gaze fell on Xu Daofeng.

“If I’m not mistaken, you must be Chief Officer Lu’s disciple, Xu Daofeng, I’ve long admired you,” Mu Zheng said politely.

Xu Daofeng nodded politely, exchanging some pleasantries.

When Mu Zheng mentioned Xu Daofeng’s name, the other dozen people in the courtyard all looked this way and began discussing quietly, with a few even coming up to show goodwill.

Standing here, they were definitely the top young experts of Cloud Realm. From their attitude towards Xu Daofeng, it was clear that Xu Daofeng’s identity was quite extraordinary.

“Are you also participating in the assessment?” Mu Qingyi asked Xu Daofeng.

“No, the difficulty for me is a bit higher because I was directly selected by my teacher. If I can’t prove my strength, it would dishonor my teacher,” Xu Daofeng explained.

“What exactly is this assessment about?” Mu Qingyi was rather clueless since she hadn’t prepared anything and had been brought in unexpectedly.

“This should be an assessment of strength and ability, I can’t say exactly what… Oh, I must go now. Tang Officer will soon come to tell you what you’ll need to do next. I wish you success,” Xu Daofeng said.

Mu Qingyi nodded and glanced around at her competitors.

Apart from Chu Mu, there were quite a few other spectators; the real candidates for the assessment, including Mu Qingyi, totaled eleven.

After a short wait, the member of the Divine Sect known as Tang Officer appeared. He didn’t say much but directly led everyone in a certain direction to fly.

Seeing that the other spectators were also following, Chu Mu followed along as well. Because of Wu Xu’s presence, Mu Qingyi did not summon the Crowned Phoenix King but instead rode the White Tiger, following behind the group, while Chu Mu, sitting on Dream of Oblivion, followed at a leisurely pace, occasionally asking Liao Yu about matters related to the Cloud Realm.

“Who is that guy?” Li ZuoTeng glanced at Chu Mu, who rode the dark purple phoenix, and asked.

A low-grade Master Phoenix Clan not previously seen, Chu Mu had already attracted attention when summoning Dream of Oblivion, not to mention the comments elicited when flying over the city.

“He doesn’t seem to be a participant in the assessment,” Wu Xu said.

Those taking part in the assessment had medals on their chests; Chu Mu did not. However, Li ZuoTeng and Wu Xu both realized that this individual, riding a low-grade Dominator, must be very strong and subconsciously considered him a competitor since there was only one spot available.

“That’s good then,” Li ZuoTeng dismissed further concern about Chu Mu.

…

“Isn’t this the direction to Wen Mountain?” Liao Yu, also sitting on Dream of Oblivion, asked with some confusion.

By then, Tang Officer had already led the eleven assessors past the furthest of the Forty-six Cities, going deeper into the mountain range.

“What is Wen Mountain?” Chu Mu asked.

“It’s a famous Mysterious Realm outside of Cloud City. It’s inhabited by very strong Dominator-level creatures. Maybe the assessment location is set there,” Liao Yu explained.

After a long journey, Tang Officer did indeed bring everyone to Wen Mountain.

Wen Mountain was expansive, and even with the ability to fly, it was easy to get lost deep in the mountains, which reminded Chu Mu of the scale of the Giant Mountain in the Elf Realm.

You didn’t guess wrong; our examination site is in Wen…

… Mountain,” the Divine Sect Officer Tang said as he glanced at the eleven aspirants.

“What you have to do is simple. Not long ago, a Ferocious Beast that slaughtered a City in ‘World’ fled into Wen Mountain. Capturing it will complete this assessment.”

As Tang Officer spoke, Liao Yu quietly told Chu Mu, “I heard of that Ferocious Beast. It’s a Blood Drinking Demon, its strength about that of a low-grade Master. It killed an entire City, creating a horrific bloodbath. There’s even a bounty of about 1000 Xuan on it already. I didn’t expect the Divine Sect to use this for the assessment. If your strength hasn’t reached low-grade Master level, you probably would have to withdraw on your own.”

While the objective of the examination was indeed simple, completing it was much harder. It was not just a test of strength but also of tracking and capturing skills. Chu Mu was worried if Mu Qingyi could stand out among the ten young experts from the Cloud Realm.

“There’s only one path into Wen Mountain, of course, you can try other routes if you wish, if you’re not afraid of not being able to get out. We’ve confirmed the information — that Blood Drinking Demon is still somewhere in Wen Mountain. Whether you trap or kill it doesn’t matter; just bring it back to me. However, there’s something I must tell everyone. Our Divine Sect differs from other forces; we don’t adhere to the concept of ‘the victor takes it all.’ We need to hold onto our beliefs, so fighting each other over the Blood Drinking Demon is not allowed. Whoever obtains it keeps it. No stealing. Lastly, the right to choose is decided by Chief Officer Lu. If you have too heavy a belligerence, even if you bring back the Blood Drinking Demon, the selected person may not be you,” Tang Officer stated.

Tang Officer glanced at all eleven assessment members and then waved his hand, “Go on out I hope I won’t be disappointed.”

Just as Tang Officer finished speaking, a few individuals quickly rode their Soul Pets into the mountain, looking quite anxious.

“I’m going,” Mu Qingyi said to Chu Mu.

“Yeah, go ahead. I have nothing to do, I’ll wait for you here,” Chu Mu responded.

“Yeah.” Mu Qingyi nodded and rode the White Tiger into Wen Mountain.

…

“Woo woo woo~~~~~~~~”

Not long after Mu Qingyi left, Mo Ye, who had been sleeping on Chu Mu’s shoulder, suddenly opened its eyes and stared at Wen Mountain.

“What’s wrong?” Chu Mu asked.

Mo Ye conveyed to Chu Mu that it had sensed some unrest and a powerful presence within Wen Mountain.

“I had Qingyi bring a Spirit Butterfly, if there’s any danger, Dream of Oblivion will sense it,” Chu Mu said. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, welcome to Qidian (NovelFire.net) to cast your recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
