Desolate Hall is situated in the southwest corner of Dao Sect. A dozen overgiant peaks that touched the heavens, formed a circle. On top of these giantpeaks, streams of silver-like waterfalls poured down. A loud rumbling soundricocheted across the entire domain.

On top of these large peaks, one could see numerous large halls. Meanwhile,countless number of figures were just like ants as they traversed across it. Itreleased a vibrant and prosperous atmosphere.

Surrounding these large peaks, was a several thousand mile long river thatswept across it. It looked just like a river in heaven. When one got near toit, one could actually realize that this enormous river was actually formedfrom Nirvana Qi!

A genuine Pill River!

The resources of these super sects evidently did not lose out much to thoseancient sects.

When Lin Dong saw that hovering Pill River, that was the first thought thatflashed past his mind. Promptly, he was secretly excited by it. He hadpreviously experienced the benefits from cultivating in a Pill River. However,due to time constraints in the Ancient Battlefield, he could not linger on andhe only briefly enjoyed it before he left regretfully. Therefore, when he sawthat there was actually a Pill River in Desolate Hall, his heart was naturallyfilled with joy.

“In Desolate Hall, there are three thousand disciples and three hundred directdisciples. All of them are excellent members who have been through the moststringent tests. On the outskirts, there are tens of thousands of branchdisciples. If they are able to pass the tests, they are always welcome tobecome full fledged disciples of Desolate Hall.” Standing beside Lin Dong, WuDao pointed at several dozen large peaks. There was a tinge of pride in histone.

“Three hundred direct disciples, three thousand disciples, tens of thousandsof branch disciples…”

When Lin Dong heard the figures, he was instantly shocked. He was clearlyaware that in order to become a direct disciple of a super sect, according tothe Hundred Empire War’s rules, one must step into the Nirvana Golden Ranking.However, right now, just the number of direct disciples of Desolate Hall,already stands at three hundred.

The three hundred of them were obviously the elite and they must be topgeniuses just like Lanying and the rest.

Even after adding together the total number of Nirvana Golden Ranking membersin the current Hundred Empire War, there was less than half of this number.Based on this, it seems like these super empires truly had many other avenuesto recruit members.

Lin Dong did not inquire about the three other halls. However, with just arough gauge, he was able to deduce that their numbers surely exceed theDesolate Hall.

It seems like the total strength of the Dao Sect was truly terrifying. Thisalso allowed Lin Dong to clearly witness the terror of a super sect. Bypossessing such strength, in the Eastern Xuan Region, how could any empirecompete with such a monstrous beast.

With these terrifying disciples as a foundation, one’s sect would definitelybecome powerful.

“Lin Dong, based on your performance, you naturally possess the qualificationsto become a direct disciple. However, there is something that this old man mustmention. Even in the Desolate Hall, you will face intense competition.Therefore, if you want to enjoy preferential treatment, you must proveyourself. Else, you will be quickly replaced.” Wu Dao’s expression was solemnas he stared at Lin Dong and said.

“This type of competition is also a way to train our disciples. Therefore, wewill not easily intervene in fights between disciples. If you want to continueto enjoy your privileges, the only thing you require is the ability to assertyour right.”

“You are the current champion of the Hundred Empire War and you have recruitedmany disciples for our Dao Sect. We will naturally have to reward you for it.However, whether you have the ability to enjoy this reward, will still dependyour own abilities…”

“What reward?” Lin Dong smiled as he curiously asked.

“Pill River Head Immersion.”

Wu Dao gently smiled as he pointed to that massive Pill River and leisurelysaid: “In the deep region of the Pill River, there will be some extremely pureNirvana Qi generated each year. We term it as the Nirvana Golden Qi. That stuffis extremely beneficial for Nirvana stage practitioners.”

“At that time, the hall master and I will personally manipulate the NirvanaGolden Qi to temper your body and your internal Yuan Power. If you are able tohandle it, your strength would surely surge.”

“Sounds pretty good.” Lin Dong’s eyes gently lit up. Something that requiredthe combined efforts of both hall master must be pretty good.

“Of course it is. This Nirvana Golden Qi is originally reserved for DesolateHall’s top disciple. If it was not for the fact that you have performed aservice of great merit, you will not be able to enjoy it.” Wu Dao rolled hiseyes at Lin Dong and said.

“Who is the strongest disciple in Desolate Hall now?” Lin Dong gently smiledand asked.

“The four senior direct disciples. All of them are at seven Yuan Nirvana stageand they are no pushovers.” With his hands behind his back, Wu Dao sadisticallyteased.

“Seven Yuan Nirvana stage huh.” Lin Dong’s eyes gently hardened. Promptly, heslowly nodded his head before he softly said: “They are powerful indeed.However, it is not difficult to overtake them.”

With Lin Dong’s current strength, he could fight evenly with a six YuanNirvana stage expert. Therefore, if he continued to improve, he could mostlikely contend with a seven Yuan Nirvana stage expert. Right now, he had justentered the Desolate Hall. Therefore, he should have time to slowly catch upwith those seniors.

When he saw Lin Dong’s smiling face, Wu Dao secretly nodded his head. He hadpersonally witnessed Lin Dong’s rise during the Ancient Battlefield. For ayoung man from a low rank empire to stand out in the battlefield, was already amiracle by itself.

“If you want the obtain the qualifications to learn the Great DesolateScripture, you must defeat them. However, that is for later.”

“With regards to the Pill River Head Immersion that we promised, there areonly a few rare individuals in Desolate Hall that have enjoyed this treatment.Since you are only a new disciple, there are bound to be some disciples whofeel disgruntled. With regards to this issue, you would have rely on your ownabilities. We will not intervene.” Wu Dao casually said.

“Understood.” Lin Dong gently smiled as he nodded his head.

“Besides, what do your two other friends plan to do?” Wu Dao’s eyes suddenlyturned towards Little Marten and Little Flame, before he asked.

He was clearly aware of their true identities. Therefore, he understood thatLittle Marten would not join Dao Sect.

“In two day’s time, I will depart together with Little Flame.” Little Martencasually said.

“Depart?” When Lin Dong heard his words, he was instantly shocked.

“Don’t worry, I will take him out for a spin. There is a place in Eastern XuanRegion which is extremely beneficial for him. It is best for him to train overthere.” Little Marten smiled as he said.

“Big brother, second brother said that I will be able to improve rapidly atthat place. Let me follow him first. If you face any problems, use the YuanSpirit to send a message to second brother. We will come immediately. LittleFlame scratched his head while he grinned.

“Don’t worry, with me around, nothing will happen.” Little Marten smiled atLin Dong.

When he saw the situation, Lin Dong hesitated for a moment. Promptly, he chosenot to dwell on this issue. The reason why Little Marten chose to follow LinDong was because he was worried for him. Now that he had joined the Dao Sect,as long as no accidents occur, he should be in safe hands. In that case, LittleMarten could enjoy more freedom.

Furthermore, Lin Dong knew that Little Marten had many secrets. Since thelatter did not wish to tell him, he did not want to ask him as well. Right now,he was still not powerful enough. Therefore, Little Marten’s knowledge was oflittle use to him.

“Alright, we have reached the Desolate Hall. All of you will take the rest ofthe day to recuperate. Tomorrow, we will head to the Pill River stage. At thattime, we will perform the Pill River Head Immersion for you.” Wu Dao led thecrowd to a huge mountain. With a wave of his arm, several disciples immediatelyleapt forth. Following which, he looked at Lin Dong and the rest before hespoke.

“Yes!”

When they heard his words, the crowds responded respectfully.

Wu Dao gently nodded his head. Promptly, a smile appeared on his face:“Besides, congratulations on becoming official disciples of Desolate Hall. Thiscan be considered as your home in the future.”

When they heard his words, a grateful expression surfaced on Liu Bai and therest’s faces. After a long and arduous journey, they had finally becamedisciples of a super sect.

Just like the spot where Lin Dong and the rest reached, in the eastern side ofDao Sect, there was also towering mountains. The atmosphere here was actuallymore majestic than the Desolate Hall.

This was the place where the Sky Hall was located.

In the sky above the Sky Hall, there was also a hovering Pill River.Furthermore, this Pill River was larger than the one at Desolate Hall. At acursory glance, you could see no end to it and could only feel that rich andpotent Nirvana Qi drifting off from the river. It even caused its surroundingsto warp.

Upon closer inspection, one could see several floating platform above the PillRiver. Seated above the platform, were several disciples quiety training.Streams of powerful vibrations continuously emerged from within their bodies.

Most of these platform were scattered around the surroundings of the PillRiver. Nonetheless, typically speaking, the closer it go to the center of thePill River, the less platforms there were. Meanwhile, the number of disciplesseated above also decreased.

Swoosh.

A splitting wind sound suddenly rang out above the Pill River. Faintly, it wasaccompanied by the crisp sound of a instrument, which sounded just like ateana. That noise caused several disciples to open their eyes to stare at thatalluring figure flashing past the horizon. Meanwhile, they seemed to beintoxicated by that sound.

The alluring figure in the sky did not bother about their glances as shedirectly headed to the deepest spot in the Pill River. Finally, she landedabove the final platform.

When that alluring figure landed, her red dress swayed. It was actually YingHuanhuan, who had previously bickered with Lin Dong.

When she landed on that platform, she immediately looked in front. At the edgeof that platform, was a lady quietly seated down. Meanwhile, rich and potentNirvana Qi swiveled around her.

That lady was dressed in black ceremonial robes and she had a slim figure. Hersoft green hair was casually tied up by a green lace and the tip was faintlycurved at a sharp angle. Her hands were placed on her knees and there was aseal on her jade fingers. Above her handseal, a green longsword was placedbetween two seals, while a faint sword aura slowly emerged. It actuallyforcefully split apart the surrounding Nirvana Qi.

“Sis.”

When Ying Huanhuan saw the lady dressed in black ceremonial robes, sheinvoluntarily pouted her tiny mouth.

The lady in front of her was actually the number one younger generation memberin Dao Sect, the Big Sister of Sky Hall, Ying Xiaoxiao.
