Chapter 6

Listen to the Ao Han Sect's entrance selection competition!

In the world of Xuanzun Continent, the empire is the largest unit, below which are sects, and below the sects are cities and families. Feng Yun Wuheng now clearly understands this structure.

Families can almost be considered the stepping stones of this world's framework!

Take the Ao Han Sect, for example, which commands 13 cities and over a hundred families!

The Feng Yun family is just one of these hundreds of families, equivalent to a commoner!

The martial arts techniques in the world are divided into four ranks: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang. Each rank is further divided into high, middle, and low levels!

The highest martial arts secret manual of the Feng Yun family is merely a high-level Huang rank technique, the Thirteen Deadly Swords!

This kind of technique might be considered quite good within the "family" category, but when compared at the "sect" level, it is far from comparable!

It is said that within the Ao Han Sect, there are countless martial arts secret manuals, and the lowest and most basic among them is "high-level Huang." In other words, a technique that no one in a sect cares about is equivalent to the top technique of a family!

What does this mean?

Not to mention the alchemy pills and heavenly treasures.

For example, the "Qi Enhancing Pill" used by Feng Yun Xue to break through a level is absolutely a treasure at the "family" level! A treasure that cannot be measured by wealth! The entire Feng Yun family has no more than twenty "Qi Enhancing Pills"!

However, for a sect, the "Qi Enhancing Pill" is not particularly precious.

In summary, for a martial artist, especially one with talent, leaving the family and entering a sect is like a carp jumping over the dragon gate!

Feng Yun Wuheng deeply understands that if he wants to become a true powerhouse, he must enter a sect.

A large number of high-level techniques, high-grade alchemy pills, systematic training, guidance from innate martial artists, and special access to training grounds...

All these benefits.

Feng Yun Wuheng does not believe that his "Nine Swords of Dugu" is a high-level technique in this mysterious continent. The "Heaven and Earth Overbearing Technique" is a method to increase Xuan energy cultivation, not a martial technique. Therefore, to enhance his strength, he must obtain a high-level martial technique.

"Xue Sister, what exactly is the Ao Han Sect's entrance selection competition?" Feng Yun Wuheng's eyes were filled with excitement. Only in front of Feng Yun Xue does Feng Yun Wuheng show his true emotions, whether joy or worry. To others, Feng Yun Wuheng only shows coldness!

"Sure. Wuheng, Xue Sister will tell you. The Ao Han Sect is one of the five major sects of the Zhan Qin Empire, overseeing 13 cities and over a hundred families. Think about it, how many young martial artists and geniuses are there in these hundreds of families? And the threshold to enter the Ao Han Sect is extremely high!" Feng Yun Xue spoke eloquently.

Feng Yun Wuheng listened carefully.

"The rules of the selection competition were announced yesterday. First, among the 6 families of Qiu He City, martial artists aged 10 to 18 will be divided into groups by age for a knockout tournament: 10 to 12 years old as one group; 13 to 15 years old as one group; 16 to 18 years old as one group. The final competition will be for 10 spots." Feng Yun Xue's beautiful eyebrows furrowed. "Wuheng, all the young talents from the 6 families are competing for just 10 spots. This competition is intense, right?"

Feng Yun Wuheng was also shocked. Not to mention other families, just the Feng Yun family alone has at least 50 disciples aged 10 to 18! If we extrapolate this, the 6 families combined will have 300 participants. 300 participants for 10 spots... This is comparable to the competition for civil service positions in the world Feng Yun Wuheng came from!

"Indeed, it is very intense. It seems that entering the Ao Han Sect is not that simple. However, once inside, a martial artist's fate will undergo a qualitative change!" Feng Yun Wuheng murmured, "Xue Sister, I believe you will eventually make it. Ha, reaching the 6th level of innate Xuan energy is already quite impressive!"

"Wuheng, it's hard to say." Feng Yun Xue smiled, "But Xue Sister will do her best." She paused and added, "Wuheng, don't think that getting one of these 10 spots guarantees entry into the Ao Han Sect. This is just a basic condition! Qiu He City has 10 spots, and the 13 cities under the Ao Han Sect's jurisdiction have 130 spots! These 130 outstanding martial artists will be gathered for training, and then there will be even more intense and brutal competition! To become the final winner and enter the Ao Han Sect... it is very strict!"

Indeed, layer after layer of screening and elimination, it is too strict!

At this moment, Feng Yun Xue changed the subject, "By the way, Wuheng, something big has happened in Qiu He City recently. Several sneaky wandering cultivators have infiltrated Qiu He City, assassinating members of the six families. They even broke into the He family and the Yelü family, killing several people! Therefore, Wuheng, you need to be careful. It's best to move back to the main family residence."

"Haha..." Feng Yun Wuheng laughed, "Xue Sister, this seaside is actually much safer than the main family residence! Think about it, to reach the area where I live, one must pass through the main family residence. If those wandering cultivators really have the ability to sneak into this area from the main family residence, it means... ha, the Feng Yun family is really... hehe. Besides, what is there to come to this seaside? If they want to kill, they would naturally do it in the area where family members gather. Why would they come to this desolate seaside? Xue Sister, you should be careful. Why don't you move to the seaside?"

Feng Yun Xue covered her mouth and laughed, "Alright, Wuheng, your Xue Sister is not afraid of those wandering cultivators. If they really had great abilities, they wouldn't be sneaking around and assassinating! Wuheng, Xue Sister will leave now. I won't come to see you again before the Ao Han Sect's entrance selection competition ends. I need to seize this last bit of time to practice and comprehend sword techniques. Xue Sister's goal is to enter the Ao Han Sect! Also, to beg the innate martial artists of the Ao Han Sect to unseal your dantian!"

"Sure, Xue Sister, you can definitely do it!" Feng Yun Wuheng said solemnly. In his heart, he was secretly laughing... unseal my dantian? Forget it! I don't want it!

After sending off Feng Yun Xue, Feng Yun Wuheng threw himself into intense training!

He also understands that next month, the Ao Han Sect's entrance selection competition is his chance!

Indeed, Feng Yun Wuheng's parents died because of the Ao Han Sect, and he naturally hates the Ao Han Sect. However, to practice high-level martial techniques, to seek revenge, and to ultimately stand at the pinnacle of this world, he can only choose to enter a sect! Of course, the Zhan Qin Empire has four other major sects, but with Feng Yun Wuheng's identity, there is no possibility of joining any other sect besides the Ao Han Sect!

Because the five major sects only select disciples from the cities and families within their jurisdiction, and they will never make an exception!

As for becoming a wandering cultivator, Feng Yun Wuheng has never considered it. Wandering cultivators are in a very dangerous situation, constantly under attack and slaughter by the major sects and families, living in constant fear! Wandering cultivators also oppress and kill each other!

In the days that followed, Feng Yun Wuheng trained even more diligently and rigorously!

One day.

After the morning training with the sea waves, Feng Yun Wuheng sat by the thatched hut as usual, eating wild fruits and resting.

What was unusual was that today, Uncle Fu did not bring him his meal. However, this was not surprising. To the entire Feng Yun family, except for his sister Feng Yun Xue, Feng Yun Wuheng was just a piece of trash, a useless existence, and it was normal to forget to bring him a meal for a day or two.

Feng Yun Wuheng did not care about these things. In the afternoon, he continued to practice the Nine Swords of Dugu, comprehending sword intent and sword rhythm.

On the beach.

Feng Yun Wuheng held a branch, moving freely, thrusting and slashing, displaying the various subtleties of the Nine Swords of Dugu. Occasionally, he would thrust a stroke of genius, like a hanging antelope horn, leaving no trace.

Fully immersed in the world of swords.

Suddenly...

"Hmph! My master was indeed right! You, this useless boy, seem to be secretly practicing martial techniques... Hehe, what are you practicing?"

A sharp, harsh voice came directly from the thatched hut. Feng Yun Wuheng immediately returned from his training state, retracted the branch in his hand, turned around, and narrowed his eyes to look in the direction of the voice.

He saw Uncle Fu, hunched over, holding a bamboo basket, standing by the thatched hut, smiling sinisterly.

"Today, he was late in bringing the meal, and I thought he wouldn't come, but it turns out... hmm, he actually discovered me." Feng Yun Wuheng's face remained calm as he slowly walked toward the thatched hut, tightly gripping the branch in his hand.

"Hehe... From the day you requested to live in seclusion by the seaside, my master suspected that you weren't as simple as you seemed. Indeed, you secretly started practicing martial techniques! What? What are you trying to achieve with such painstaking effort?" Uncle Fu's face lit up with joy. He was ordered to monitor Feng Yun Wuheng daily under the guise of delivering meals, but after a year, he had found nothing. Today, Uncle Fu was delayed by some matters in the morning and rushed over in the afternoon. Unexpectedly, he discovered Feng Yun Wuheng's secret!

Reporting this news to his master, he imagined that his master would greatly praise him and reward him for his efforts.

Uncle Fu's heart was filled with joy. Although Feng Yun Wuheng still showed no trace of Xuan energy, just waving a branch around, this was a common sight.

However, Uncle Fu could embellish the story and exaggerate it to his master, making it sound very serious. His master would be pleased and reward him.

Whether Feng Yun Wuheng was truly practicing martial techniques was no longer important!

Feng Yun Wuheng slowly walked up to Uncle Fu and said calmly, "For the past year, you have been delivering meals and monitoring me every day, rain or shine, and we have never exchanged a single word. Today, let's have a good talk. You are going to report what you saw today to your master to get some rewards, right?"

"Hehe, my master said you are a cunning and deep-thinking boy. Indeed, you are! Even in the face of great danger, you still chatter on and on in front of me, and your face doesn't change. You don't seem like a little child at all. It's best to get rid of you early!"

Uncle Fu threw the basket in his hand, his aura suddenly rising, his face twisted in a sinister expression, "Come with me, and meet my master!"

Feng Yun Wuheng was not the least bit concerned. With a thought, 26 grains of Xuan energy were absorbed into his body!

A faint Xuan energy flowed through Feng Yun Wuheng's limbs and bones! His aura instantly became fierce and domineering!

"Hisss! It... it's 2nd level innate Xuan energy!" Uncle Fu looked as if he had seen a ghost, "You... you were sealed by the elders of the Ao Han Sect, unable to gather any Xuan energy for life. Where... where did you get this Xuan energy?"

"Oh? So, my current Xuan energy level is 2nd level innate. In a year, from having no Xuan energy to reaching 2nd level innate, this speed is acceptable..." Feng Yun Wuheng nodded to himself, "Alright, this is my true secret. You are the first to know it."

With that, he stepped forward, a cold and deadly intent appearing at the corners of his mouth!
