Cultivating To Immortality

"Ahead is the main headquarters of our Eastern Luo Sect. I will take you to verify your identities and complete the entry procedures." The blue-robed Elder controlled the teleportation disk, flying towards the mountains ahead.

The new disciples looked at the blessed land below, their eyes gleaming, and they couldn't help but exclaim in low voices, "Oh my god, is this the Eastern Luo Sect? It's too magnificent."

"The Immortal Qi here is so dense. If I could cultivate here, I would definitely achieve twice the results with half the effort."

"From now on, I will cultivate here. Just thinking about it makes me excited."

Even Fang Hong couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The environment here was indeed good, and the Immortal Qi was very abundant. It truly lived up to its reputation as the most powerful sect headquarters in the Eastern Luo Immortal Territory.

The disk flew for a moment, and the blue-robed Elder controlled it to slowly descend on a not-too-tall mountain peak.

Everyone looked closely and saw a magnificent hall standing on the mountaintop. Above the hall entrance hung a golden plaque with the three characters Immortal Service Hall carved on it.

Fang Hong's gaze swept across the surroundings, and he noticed that besides their group, there were several other Elders, each leading a group of new disciples towards the Immortal Service Hall. They were all clearly there to complete their entry procedures.

"Every three years, our Eastern Luo Sect sends Elders to various countries and cities in the Immortal Domain to recruit new disciples. Today happens to be the day when all new disciples gather to report, which is why you see so many disciples from the same batch."

The blue-robed Elder explained patiently as he led everyone towards the Immortal Service Hall.

"This is the Immortal Service Hall, responsible for handling disciple identity registration, material distribution, and other affairs."

"If you have the opportunity to breakthrough to the Golden Immortal realm in the future, you will be promoted from Outer Sect Disciple to Inner Sect Disciple. At that time, you will also need to come here to re-register your identity and exchange your disciple token."

Everyone nodded in agreement, firmly remembering the blue-robed Elder's words.

Afterward, the blue-robed Elder led everyone into the Immortal Service Hall.

The interior of the hall was spacious and bright, with neat bluestone paving the floor. There were also many attendant disciples inside, systematically handling various matters.

The blue-robed Elder directly led everyone to a counter in the hall.

"These are the new disciples recruited from Ascension City this time. Please process their entry procedures."

The attendant disciple respectfully acknowledged, then took out a palm-sized round immortal mirror and said to everyone, "Before officially entering the sect, everyone needs to undergo a Heart-Questioning Test."

"Everyone, please stand in front of this immortal mirror in order and relax your minds. The immortal mirror will automatically examine your inner selves."

When Fang Hong heard the words Heart-Questioning Test, his heart stirred slightly.

This process was almost identical to when he joined the Azure Emperor Holy Land in the Lower Realm, both using an immortal mirror to examine the disciple's true heart.

The purpose of this Heart-Questioning Test was to screen out those with malicious intentions. If someone tried to sneak into the Eastern Luo Sect with intentions detrimental to the sect, the immortal mirror would immediately detect it.

Fang Hong genuinely wanted to join the Eastern Luo Sect to use the sect's resources to improve his cultivation. He had no evil thoughts in his heart, so he naturally passed the Heart-Questioning Test smoothly.

However, while waiting for other disciples to be tested, Fang Hong did indeed see a few people with ulterior motives.

When two people stood in front of the immortal mirror, the mirror instantly burst out with dazzling red light, clearly indicating they were deemed unqualified.

The Eastern Luo Sect's law enforcement disciples, who were already on standby nearby, immediately stepped forward and, without a word, escorted the two away.

The two were filled with fear. Daring to play tricks during the Eastern Luo Sect's Heart-Questioning Test would likely lead to a very tragic end.

After passing the Heart-Questioning Test, Fang Hong successfully received his Outer Sect Disciple token, officially becoming an Outer Sect Disciple of the Eastern Luo Sect, and also collected some entry materials.

Immediately after, the blue-robed Elder led everyone to the Outer Sect Disciple living quarters.

About an hour passed, and Fang Hong finally settled all the trivial matters.

At this moment, he was standing by a secluded pavilion in his Immortal Cave, leaning on the railing, his gaze overlooking the distant, undulating mountains.

Mist lingered among the mountains like a light veil, and the sunlight, scattered down, dyed each peak with a faint golden glow, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

Fang Hong's Immortal Cave was on Latent Immortal Peak, one of the Outer Sect Disciple living areas.

This mountain peak was several thousand feet high, clearly divided into a hundred layers from the foot to the summit.

Each layer had a large number of ready-made Immortal Caves, neatly arranged, presenting a spectacular sight at a glance.

According to the sect's rules, the higher the layer of the mountain peak, the denser and purer the Immortal Qi contained in the air.

The concentration of Immortal Qi directly affected the speed and effectiveness of Cultivation, so living in a high-level Immortal Cave was a great temptation for all Outer Sect Disciples.

Fang Hong, by virtue of his first-place finish in the entry assessment, was arranged by the sect to reside on the very top layer of Latent Immortal Peak.

This was the place with the densest Immortal Qi and the most secluded environment on the entire mountain peak. It was a small perk for top assessors, both demonstrating the sect's emphasis on outstanding disciples and allowing him to have more superior Cultivation conditions.

As for the other disciples who entered at the same time, they could only be allocated Immortal Caves according to their rankings in the assessment.

The higher the ranking, the higher the layer they could live on, while disciples with lower rankings could only live on the lowest layer of the mountain peak.

Of course, even the lowest layer definitely had better Immortal Qi concentration than other places, and these disciples were already content.

After settling in, Fang Hong slowly walked around his new Immortal Cave, carefully checking every corner.

The scale of this top-layer Immortal Cave was even better than he had expected, with all the necessary facilities for cultivation.

Artifact Refining Room, alchemy room, cultivation room, and so on. The backyard of the Immortal Cave also had a spacious fertile field that could be used to plant some Immortal Plants.

From the perspective of living and cultivation, this was indeed a rare and good place.

However, Fang Hong usually spent most of his time cultivating inside the years pearl, so these excellent facilities were actually optional for him, serving only as auxiliary tools for occasional outdoor activities.

Moreover, as long as Fang Hong could successfully breakthrough to the Golden Immortal realm, he would be able to shed his Outer Sect Disciple status and become an Inner Sect Disciple of the sect.

At that time, he would be able to enter the core area of the sect, choose a mountain peak among the continuous immortal mountains, and personally open up his own Immortal Cave.

The Immortal Qi concentration in the core area was several times better than the top layer of Latent Immortal Peak, and the environment was also more secluded and safe. That was the true treasure land for Cultivation.

Thinking of this, Fang Hong raised his hand and made a few illusory strokes towards the entrance of the Immortal Cave. A light blue barrier instantly appeared, enveloping the entire Immortal Cave.

This was the Immortal Cave's inherent protective formation, which could effectively prevent outsiders from trespassing at will and avoid being suddenly disturbed during Cultivation.

But Fang Hong still felt it wasn't secure enough, so he cast dozens of spell formulas in succession, adding dozens of restrictions on top of the protective formation, layer upon layer of defense, ensuring that no one could peek into the Immortal Cave.

The reason Fang Hong was so cautious was because when the blue-robed Elder left earlier, Lin Xiang, who was with him, suddenly reminded him.

Wang Hu, whom he had killed in the assessment, actually had an older brother within the Eastern Luo Sect, and that person was no longer an Outer Sect Disciple, but a genuine Inner Sect Disciple.
