Chen Xuan emerged from the Soul Sea and began to convert his spiritual power. This time, he felt that his spiritual power was even purer than before. Training always passed quickly in the dullness.
A new day dawned, and the Chen family was no longer like the previous days. Today, the entire Chen family was filled with joy, with smiles on everyone's faces.
Chen Xuan continued to practice his swordsmanship as usual. Last night, he discussed with Li Lao and decided that once he reached the Spirit Martial Realm, he would go out to experience the world and leave Hongling Town behind.
Staying in Hongling Town any longer wouldn't benefit his cultivation. If he wanted to advance further in his martial path, he had to experience higher existences. In Hongling, the Spirit Martial Realm was the limit. Chen Xuan was prepared to leave as soon as he reached that level and explore the continent.
"Young master, the master calls for you to come to the council hall. Someone is looking for you," Ling'er called out.
"I know, I'll go right away."
After tidying up, Chen Xuan left the courtyard.
"Who could be looking for me?" Chen Xuan wondered as he walked.
Chen Xuan quickly arrived at the family council hall and saw his grandfather and father inside, along with four young men and women. His grandfather had lost all the dignity of the family, fawning over these young people.
"Grandfather, father, I'm here."
"Xuan'er, you're here." Chen Xuan's grandfather pulled him over.
"These are the inner disciples of the Danxuan Sect. They are here to find talented disciples for the sect. They passed through Hongling Town and witnessed our battle with the Wu family. Since you defeated a high-level Spirit Martial expert, they want to recruit you into the sect," Chen Xuan's grandfather quickly explained their purpose.
No wonder his grandfather was so excited. The disciples of the Danxuan Sect, one of the Four Great Kingdoms, had come.
"Nice to meet you all." Chen Xuan bowed.
Pei Wenliang immediately came up and grabbed Chen Xuan's hand. "Don't be so polite. We're family from now on."
He approached Chen Xuan as if they had been friends for many years.
The others talked to Chen Xuan's father on the side, hoping to recruit Chen Xuan to their sect.
"Uncle, Chen Xuan was able to defeat a Spirit Martial expert at the age of fourteen, which is rare even in our sect. As long as Chen Xuan joins our sect, the Chen family will also prosper. The sect will also protect the Chen family. Moreover, Chen Xuan's talent will be greatly cultivated by the sect. You can rest assured to hand Chen Xuan over to us," Lu Feiyu said.

"Let's see what Xuan'er thinks. If he wants to go, as his father, I can't say anything. If he doesn't want to go, even if I want to say something, it's useless," Chen Xuan's father said.
They all came to Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan felt overwhelmed. He hadn't figured out how these people knew about him and how they came to this poor place. Chen Xuan had a lot of questions and naturally wouldn't agree easily.
"Chen Xuan, do you have a lot of questions about our visit?" Wang Yuqing walked up.
"It's normal to have questions. We may have been too abrupt today, coming directly to ask you to join our sect. If you have any questions, ask them now. As long as it's not leaking sect secrets, we will answer you," she said.
Chen Xuan organized his thoughts. "Why would you be interested in me? I haven't even reached the Spirit Martial Realm. In the eyes of your sect, I should be the lowest level disciple, right?"
"I'll answer that for you. At the age of fourteen, you were able to reach the Ninth Rank of the Innate, and you were able to defeat a Spirit Martial expert. These qualities are rare even among disciples of major families and sects. Although major families and sects have such geniuses, they are not many. The ones we are interested in are not your current realm, but your future potential," explained Shi Yuan Shang.
"With a sect as large as the Danxuan Sect, do you still need to go out and find disciples every year? There should be many people willing to join you every year!" Chen Xuan asked.
"Indeed, the Danxuan Sect also recruits disciples every year, but talents like you are rare. We came out this time specifically to find talents like you. If it were ordinary people, we wouldn't have come," Lu Feiyu continued.
"Let me give you a brief introduction to the situation of the Danxuan Sect. Those who haven't reached the Spirit Martial Realm are called outer disciples. The Danxuan Sect has tens of thousands of outer disciples. Those who have reached the Spirit Martial Realm are inner disciples, like us. Above that are core disciples, who must reach the True Martial Realm. Breaking through the True Martial Realm can enter the ranks of Holy Sons. Holy Sons are groomed by the sect to become future sect leaders," explained another disciple.
"What is the cultivation level of core disciples?" Chen Xuan asked.
They patiently answered Chen Xuan's questions one by one.
"Core disciples must reach the True Martial Realm. If the Spirit Martial Realm is one in a hundred, then the True Martial Realm is one in a thousand, and the Yuan Martial Realm is even rarer. The Danxuan Sect has tens of thousands of disciples, but less than a hundred have reached the Yuan Martial Realm," they explained.
Chen Xuan was excited to hear this. The True Martial Realm was not the end, and even the Yuan Martial Realm was just for disciples. He couldn't help but feel excited at the thought.
"Could you give me a day to consider?" Chen Xuan asked.
"Of course, of course," they readily agreed to Chen Xuan's request.
"We'll come back tomorrow. Sorry for the trouble today," they said, and the four of them bid farewell and left. Chen Xuan's grandfather hurried out to send them off. In his grandfather's eyes, the Danxuan Sect was a giant existence. His grandson didn't know much about the continent, and he didn't know how powerful the Danxuan Sect was.
"What is Xuan'er planning?" Chen Xuan's father asked as he approached.
"I originally planned to go out and explore after a while, to see other experts and the glory of the continent."
"Why didn't you agree directly just now? Do you doubt them?" Chen Xuan's father asked.
"I don't doubt them. As you said, no one would dare to impersonate a disciple of the Danxuan Sect. But why would such a large sect come out to find disciples?" This was what Chen Xuan couldn't understand. Every year, countless people wanted to enter these major sects, but now they were coming out to find disciples themselves. When things are abnormal, there must be a demon. Chen Xuan was cautious.
Chen Xuan returned to his place from his grandfather's and closed the door.
"Li Lao, do you think what they said today was true? Is it because I killed a Spirit Martial expert that they are so eager to recruit me?" Chen Xuan asked.
"It's possible. After all, no sect would reject talent," Li Lao replied.
"Li Lao, how does the Danxuan Sect compare to the other three sects?"
"These four major sects have been around in the Northern Region for over ten thousand years. They have survived the war between humans and demons and have extraordinary foundations. Their strengths are similar, and joining any of them would be similar for you. But the Danxuan Sect is also good. The founder of the Danxuan Sect and I had some friendship, I don't know if he's still alive. But it's up to you to decide whether to join or not."
That night, Li Lao talked to Chen Xuan about many things on the continent and the division of strength. Chen Xuan had a better understanding of the Danxuan Sect. For him, joining any sect was the same, as long as it could enhance his strength. Chen Xuan's first consideration was whether the sect was straightforward and righteous.
After a night of organizing information about the continent, Chen Xuan was full of expectations for the Danxuan Sect. Only when he reached the Danxuan Sect could he unleash his potential faster. In Hongling Town, he was considered a master, but once he reached the Danxuan Sect, he would be the lowest level disciple again, starting over from scratch.
