The next day, no one disturbed Chen Xuan, allowing him the space to consider whether to join the Danxuan Sect.

In fact, Chen Xuan had been preparing for joining the sect all day. Originally, he had plans to go out for training, but their arrival accelerated his plans. Once he chose to join a sect, the status of his family would rise, which was the main reason why Chen Xuan wanted to join the Danxuan Sect.

Chen Xuan spent the whole day practicing. Before leaving his family, he wanted to improve his strength as much as possible. Even though he was a genius, in a large sect like the Danxuan Sect, he was still weak, like an ant.

He needed to quickly refine his spiritual power to reach the Spiritual Martial Realm so that he could establish himself in the Danxuan Sect. Elder Li reminded him that the cultivation world was a survival of the fittest; if his strength was insufficient, he would receive fewer cultivation resources than others. His family was a living example of this. Without Elder Li's reminder, Chen Xuan pushed himself every day to accelerate his cultivation.

"Xuan'er, have you made your decision? Will you join the Danxuan Sect?" his father asked.

"Yes, father, I have made up my mind," Chen Xuan replied.

The next day, Chen Xuan's father confirmed again. Although he deeply hoped that Chen Xuan would not leave, he still wanted him to join the Danxuan Sect for the future.

"If you go out, we won't stop you. But once you're out there, everything depends on you. The outside world belongs to young people like you. But promise us, be careful after you go out. Don't act recklessly. Think carefully before you do anything. Plan before you act," his father said.

"I understand, father. I don't know when I'll be back this time. Please take care of yourself and mother," Chen Xuan said.

After a meal and mutual admonitions, Chen Xuan returned to his room. His journey was about to begin. Although he had only been with his family for half a year, he had already become part of this big family. Here, he experienced the warmth of home, the bond of brotherhood, and the care of his elders, all of which made him feel nostalgic.

But to become stronger, he had to leave these attachments behind. Suppressing his emotions, Chen Xuan quickly entered a state of cultivation, not wasting a moment.

The night passed quietly, and a new day dawned. Brilliant sunlight shone into Chen Xuan's courtyard. Stepping out of the door, he stretched lazily. Having sat cross-legged all night, his body was sore, but stretching made him feel refreshed.

"Young master, you're up," a voice sounded from behind him.

"Yeah." Today was the day to give his reply to joining the Danxuan Sect, and Chen Xuan had been prepared since early morning.

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

"Young master, you look really cool today," said Ling'er.

"I didn't expect you to remember from just one mention. You're using 'cool' to tease me now?" Chen Xuan teased Ling'er.

"I'm serious, young master. You really seem spirited today. It's a change from the inside out. Your aura has changed," Ling'er said.

"Young miss, are you in love?" Chen Xuan teased Ling'er again.

"Young master, you're so bad," Ling'er said, blushing, and ran out, leaving Chen Xuan laughing heartily.

It was almost time. They should be here. Chen Xuan tidied up his clothes and walked towards the family meeting hall.

Entering the hall, it was filled with many people, including elders from the family and the four inner disciples of the Danxuan Sect. Chen Xuan wondered why it was so grand and why there were so many people.

"Young master, you're here," an elder greeted Chen Xuan, and soon other relatives gathered around, asking about his well-being.

"Everyone, please be quiet," the four inner disciples of the Danxuan Sect walked over.

"How's your consideration?" Wang Yuqing asked with a smile.

"I've made my decision. I'll join the Danxuan Sect," Chen Xuan replied generously.

"Great." Shi Yuan embraced Chen Xuan. "We're family from now on. If anyone dares to bully you in the sect, come find us."

Chen Xuan bowed to the other three. "We'll be brothers in the future. Please guide me."

"Of course, of course," Lu Feiyu nodded.

"When do you plan to accompany us to the sect?" Shi Yuan was a bit impatient.

"Haha." The other two laughed. They all hoped to return to the sect soon, especially to see the eldest senior brother washing socks for them. Just the thought made them feel comfortable.

"Alright. Give me an hour to bid farewell to my family," Chen Xuan said.

Chen Xuan bid farewell to his family elders one by one. His mother, Qin Yulian, wiped her tears. It was the first time her child had grown up and left home.

"It's almost time. Let's go," Chen Xuan said to the others, waving goodbye to everyone as they stepped out of the Chen family's gate.

Before a large city gate appeared four men and one woman, dusty and tired-looking from a long journey.

"We've finally arrived at Feixia City. It's been a month-long journey. Finally, we can have a decent meal and take a bath," one of them said.

The others agreed. They had been rushing for a month, tired and complaining. If it weren't for the annual recruitment assembly of the sect, they wouldn't have been in such a hurry. Missing it meant waiting for another year.

They found an inn and all sat down.

"Waiter, bring us the best food, and make it fast. Also, another pot of good wine. Prepare five clean guest rooms," one of them ordered.

"Yes, sir, please wait a moment," the waiter said.

"Wang Sister, why are we in such a hurry?" Chen Xuan asked, puzzled.

"Well, you see, the sect holds an annual recruitment assembly on the eighth day of August. Even though you were brought by us, you still need to pass the sect's selection. With your talent, passing the selection shouldn't be too difficult. But you must return before the selection, otherwise you'll miss it for another year. Today is the beginning of August, and there are seven days left until the selection. We need to arrive at the sect's base, the Misty Mountain Range, before then. It'll take us about five more days. So, we're resting well tonight and continuing our journey tomorrow," Wang Yuqing explained.

As they ate and chatted, Chen Xuan's friend, Pei Wenliang, spoke up.

"Let me introduce the situation of the Danxuan Sect to you. The Danxuan Sect is divided into four halls and sixteen peaks. Below the sect master are the four hall masters, and below them are the sixteen peak masters.

"The four halls are the Enforcement Hall, Elder Hall, Dan Hall, and the most mysterious one, the Qiankun Hall. Only top-tier geniuses can be admitted to the Qiankun Hall. The Enforcement Hall doesn't need much explanation; its hall master is Ye Nu, whose name matches his personality—he's extremely wrathful. It's best not to break the sect's rules if you enter.

"The four halls recruit disciples every year, but only those with excellent talents are chosen. The rest are taken by the sixteen peaks. The Dan Hall is where alchemy is practiced. As long as you have the potential for alchemy or enjoy it, you can apply to join the Dan Hall. The Elder Hall is the same. Only those with excellent talents are chosen. But the Qiankun Hall... they sometimes go a whole year without accepting a single disciple. Their requirements are too strict; you must have top-tier talent to have a chance of being accepted. However, anyone who enters the Qiankun Hall is a genius among geniuses. They make up the majority of the elite disciples of the Danxuan Sect. You can imagine how few elite disciples the other three halls and sixteen peaks have in comparison," Pei Wenliang explained.
