THE GREAT GOD
Barren Land
On the way, Ryu also asked Tou Shuijing to rest when it was getting dark to recover.
Jiu Tou She and Tou Shuijing also took turns to fly, until now they had reached Dazuo City and asked to land in a small Forest not far from the City Gate.
In the small Forest Ryu again summoned Dao Luo, Yan Ran, Luan Hua, Wenlie, Guang Cheng, Wu Tian and Yu Wei to complete their group.
" A further two days of New Students' reception will be held in this City. I hope you all pass the selection. Activate your Rainbow Armor to disguise your cultivation level to become a late stage Earth Swordsman." Ryu.
" Good God Great." Sahut them simultaneously.
Ryu also gave the Rainbow Armor to Tou Shuijing and Jiu Tou She in order to disguise their cultivation levels to become late stage Earth Swordsmen.
Feeling that everything was done, Ryu led them towards the direction of the Dazuo City Gate.
While waiting for the appointed day, Ryu and his 9 subordinates searched for an Inn to stay for a few days.
*****
On the predetermined day, Ryu came out of the Inn room followed by 9 members of the Universe Force who had also come out of their respective rooms.
" Greetings of the Great God."
" Greetings Young Master."
Tou Shuijing, Jiu Tou She and the seven members of the Universal Army saluted.
" Mm-hm... Now we go to the selection place." Ryu led them out of the Inn to the City grounds where the selection of the prospective Pupils was held.
Seen all over the Corner of the City now the Cultivators from the various small and medium Sects as well as free Cultivators were seen filling the road section which made Ryu and his subordinates look difficult.
Since their goal was the same, Ryu and his 9 subordinates preferred to walk the very back row.
After waiting for quite a while in line, Ryu and the 9 subordinates who were with him now got their turn to be checked their cultivation level by some Elders of the poisonous Mist Sect.
Ryu gestured for his 9 subordinates to check first, whereas he chose to last while checking around where the 50 Elders were busy with their respective tasks.
After a while, it was now Ryu's turn to check that made the Sect Elder slightly frown.
" The young... If you may know if you are from the Great Sect?" Ask the Elder.
" Senior Sorry... I have never been a Sect Disciple. I'm just an adventurer. " Ryu said a little theatrically.
" It seems you chose the right Sect. " Stek Elders smile meaningfully.
After waiting for quite a while, the cultivation level selection had ended. now all the registries are divided into 2 Groups where the first group for intermediate stage Earth Swordsman counted 570 people and the second group for late stage Earth Swordsman counted 340 people, including Ryu and his 9 subordinates.
As for Cultivators who still reached the early Earth Swordsman stage was declared dead.
After all gathered in the previously designated place, now seen the figure of a white-haired Old Man aged around 60 years, but in fact he was over 900 years old was heading to the pulpit.
" Please give her attention for a moment. Introduce my name Zhang Mo, one of the Elders of the Poisonous Fog Sect. For prospective Pupils who reach the final stage of Earth Swordsman directly declared pass the first selection to be a Core Disciple candidate. As for the middle-stage Earth Swordsman, there should be a match practice. Rank 10 and above, we will elevate them to Inner Disciples and Rank 11 to 25 will be outer disciples." Elder Zhang Mo said.
After he finished speaking, Elder Zhang Mo descended from the pulpit towards the new Disciple who had already reached the late stage Earth Swordsman.
" Congratulations to all of you. I can't believe this year so many young people have reached the final Earth Swordsman stage." Elder Zhang Mo smiled widely.
" Thank you Elder." The 340 Core Disciple candidates lowered their heads.
" Now you can rest while waiting for the selection to end." Elder Zhang Mo asked the Core disciple to rest.
The soldiers took them to a large building that had been provided by the Mayor.
Ryu and the other core disciples, now headed towards the building where all took their respective room keys according to the number had been given.
Ryu who was already in his room, now immediately laid his body to rest.
One day passed, all Core candidates were now asked to return to the City field in order to leave with the inner disciple and outer disciple who had finished.
" Now you all have passed for the first stage selection. Now we're going to the next selection place." Elder Zhang Mo brought the prospective Disciple towards the east of Dazuo City.
After traveling for three days Patriarch Zhang Mo led them towards a plain that looked like a stretch of barren land.
" This selection is an Order from the Patriarch of the Poisonous Mist Sect. In the middle of this barren land was a Lake. In the depths of that Lake, you can find Water Ginseng. If you get the Water Ginseng, then he is the one who has the right to become the official Disciple of the Toxic Fog Sect." Elder Zhang Mo said.
" It is only in the Lake that Water Ginseng can grow. But they are very difficult to find because the lake is very deep. So, I suggest you guys be careful, because in this arid land it's much more terrible than the Forest prohibition." Patriarch Zhang Mo.
Hearing those words, Ryu and his 9 subordinates wryly smiled as the Water Ginseng grew numerous in Quzhu World.
But in order not to be the center of attention, they also seemed to participate to look for it even though they had to take another path.
" You've only got three days. So you can find him as soon as possible." Patriarch Zhang Mo said.
The prospective disciples immediately moved quickly in order to get Ginseng Air where they thought Ginseng Air was the most difficult treasure to find.
But for Ryu and his 9 subordinates now just walk casually while paying attention to the circumstances around.
After walking far enough, Ryu and his 9 subordinates chose to go to Quzhu World to take the Water Ginseng to look still fresh where They each brought one so as not to cause any attention.
Ryu asks his 9 subordinates to return to their respective residences, while Ryu returns to the barren land where they were previously.
Ryu continued his journey to find the Land Element Lord to be in. He also continued to walk until passing through several places where the barren land like forming waves of various places.
Until at night, Ryu continued down the expanse of arid land through hundreds of sky-level Spirit Beasts, but Ryu focused more on his goal to feel a soft gaze like dust on the ground on his left side.
Getting a sign, Ryu walked straight in that direction where he was very sure that the dust was from the Land Element Lord.
The night now changed with the morning where Ryu who continued to walk all night now appeared before him a large Hill where grew a tree that looked strange.
Ryu continued to walk closer to the Hill until it got closer until the Hill became clearer.
