C289

The sudden appearance of the middle-aged man in the sky caused many youths who had already gathered on the platform to reveal looks of astonishment. They were all dragons and phoenixes within the various empires and possessed extraordinary talent, but they did not expect that they were unable to even sense the aura of a middle-aged man from the Nether Sect. How could they not be shocked?

This middle-aged man looked to be in quite a peaceful and stable state. Even though he had restrained his aura extremely well, for some reason, these youths on the Mizar Platform all felt an enormous pressure. This kind of pressure was something that they had never felt before, even from ordinary Earth Origin Stage practitioners.

Narrowing his eyes, Qin Shaojie's expression did not change much. In his previous life, he had met many strong experts, and forget about peak Earth Origin Stage or life and death realm, even saints have met many of them.

It was just that this middle-aged man in charge of reporting in had such strength, it seemed like the Nether Sect was indeed powerful.

The twelve of you came here to record your information, so the following challenge was actually quite simple. All you needed to do was to walk from the Qing Yang platform to the entrance of Nether Sect. If the challenge was successful, one could become an honorary disciple of the Nether Sect.

He had been in charge of recruitment in the Nether Sect for a long time, so he had a clear understanding of the process. But luckily, the recruitment for disciples in the Nether Sect was relatively easier compared to the recruitment for other sects. Of course, the process was not complicated.

Everyone followed the middle-aged man's words and looked over. The Sun Arena was hundreds of miles away from the Nether Sect, so it was not difficult for Three Spiritual Realms to cross this distance. After all, they could fly when they reached the Three Spiritual Realms. However, this seemingly simple challenge did not make anyone happy. Especially those youths who had inquired about it before, their brows tightly knitted together.

The method of disciple recruitment for the difficult Nether Sect had never changed. It was a pity that very few people could actually pass this kind of test, which showed how difficult it was. Even those who were confident in themselves felt their hearts sink at this moment.

However, they all knew very well that no one had a choice under these circumstances, unless they retreated.

Li Mu, sixteen years old. A member of the Darkhan Dynasty, Seven psycho s, and Spirit Lake Realm.

Chen Fei, fifteen years old, from Lan Xu Dynasty, seven psycho, and Spirit Lake Realm.

Wang Yuanhong, 18 years old. Rota Empire, Eight psycho, peak of the Spirit Sea Realm.

Qin Shaojie, seventeen years old, from Great Yan Dynasty, Five psycho, Spirit Lake Realm.

Qin Shaojie was the last one to go up to record personal information. It had to be said that all of the youngsters at Qingyang Platform possessed considerable talent, although they had never seen the Nine psycho s before, they were all at least part of the Seven psycho s. Other than a few spiritual spring realm s, most of them were at the Spirit Lake Realm and Spirit Sea Realm. This level of strength could already be considered quite high.

In addition, these youths were nurtured with resources expended by various large empires, so their combat prowess should be much higher than disciples of the same level. If these youths were placed in the Great Yan Dynasty, all of them would have become elite disciples like Liu Mubai. However, it seemed that this place could only be one of the requirements to enter the Nether Sect.

Looking over, these youths still revealed some seriousness on their faces. Clearly, even though they were extremely clear about their own strength, they did not have absolute confidence in passing this so-called simple test.

One step succeeded, one step failed. If he could step into Nether Sect, then he would no longer be ordinary and lonely in this life.

But when Qin Shaojie revealed this information, not only did the other youths present, but even the man in charge of enrollment for the students for the students of the Nether Sect had a trace of confusion on his face.

The Five psycho s?

Nether Sect had not recruited any more members of the Five psycho s since a thousand years ago, and all of them were at least of the Six psycho s. Over time, this also became a rule of the Nether Sect.

After all, regardless if the Five psycho s were at the Spirit Sea Realm or the Spirit Lake Realm, they were all useless in the eyes of the Nether Sect. Cultivating talent would determine one's future ability to walk on the path of martial arts for a long distance. Due to the Inherent Skills of the Five psycho s, he could at most reach the peak of the Earth Origin Stage on the road of martial arts, and most of them might not even be able to reach the threshold of Earth Origin Stage.

This kind of disciple could be said to have no great value in cultivation. After all, in such a large Nether Sect, a legacy would last for more than thousands of years. If the disciples he raised were to be counted with Earth Origin Stage, then that would cause the value of the Nether Sect s to be greatly reduced.

Feeling the strange gazes and gazes from the crowd, Qin Shaojie also sighed, now he finally understood why Zhou Tian looked to be in a difficult position when he recommended him to the Profound Iron Token. It was obvious that Qin Shaojie, who was considered the cream of the crop in the Holy Flame Academy, would find it difficult to even catch a glimpse of him in the Nether Sect.

This brat was recommended by the Holy Flame Academy and he still wanted to give it a try during this trip to the Nether Sect.

Seeing the middle-aged man shake his head in disappointment, Qin Shaojie also took out his black iron order badge and spoke with certainty. When the middle-aged man's gaze landed on the black iron token, his expression turned serious.

Perhaps other people didn't know much about this Xuan Iron Token, but since the middle-aged man had been in charge of recruitment for so many years, he naturally knew a little about it. The Mysterious Iron Token was one of the very rare keepsakes that the Nether Sect had. Anyone who had the token would have the chance to participate in the recruitment of disciples in the Nether Sect.

After all, most of the recommendations were only from dynasties or empires, or even major academies, and the significance of the Mysterious Iron Token was great, so if there was no need to recommend disciples, they could even ask Nether Sect for a favor. As long as it was within the scope of the Nether Sect's permission, this matter would not be a problem. Therefore, the Darksteel Token was not only rare, but also precious.

He hadn't thought that this young man would actually use the Xuan Iron Token. It was just that he was quite surprised that he wanted to take this chance and place to participate in the trial.

He didn't ask for the location of the Xuan Iron Token, but it all depended on whose hand he was holding it in. Anyone who handed it over to the Nether Sect would be able to obtain a certain amount of luck. If you don't participate in this time's assessment, you can even make some requests to Nether Sect. As long as you are not too excessive, my Nether Sect will satisfy you.

Wealth and honor, the dynasty's general, Earth rank martial skill, cultivation secret technique, cultivation realm increase, and so on, my Nether Sect will promise you that.

Taking a deep breath, the middle-aged man slowly guarded the Xuan Iron Token well as well. In total, there were only 108 black iron tokens scattered throughout the Hundred Great Empire, and more than half of them had already been collected. This was Qin Shaojie's first time receiving one.

Seemingly worried that Qin Shaojie did not understand the importance of the Profound Iron Token, the middle-aged man also explained in a low voice.

And under this kind of explanation, even the eyes of the youths beside him started to flicker with light. From a certain point of view, this Profound Iron Token was equivalent to a promise from the Nether Sect, and just imagine, the promise from the Nether Sect was a priceless treasure! As long as he had this promise, it would basically mean that he was a gold medal for life within the jurisdiction of the Nether Sect.

Moreover, when they heard about the extremely important Earth Ranked Martial Technique and the increase in realm among the many youths, the middle-aged man said it in an understatement. It was enough to see how strong Nether Sect was. Honestly speaking, when everyone first heard of Qin Shaojie's strength, they looked down on him, but now their eyes were flickering, this Mysterious Black Iron Token was truly something good.

In their eyes, it was impossible for the five psycho s to pass this kind of trial, and even if they did, they would not be able to gain a foothold in the Nether Sect. After all, they were only branch disciples, and if they wanted to become an official disciple of the Nether Sect, they would need to pass through many levels of tests.

Therefore, to everyone watching, the best way for Qin Shaojie to obtain it was to use the Mysterious Iron Token to obtain some benefits within the Nether Sect.

However, two of the youths were also frowning. No matter how strong the profound iron order that Nether Sect had mentioned, it was still inferior to a fight to the death with someone who had entered the Nether Sect. If they could enter the Nether Sect, these so-called things would no longer be a true temptation. However, the Five psycho s did not have the qualifications to participate.

Of course, this was only because Qin Shaojie had nothing to do with the rest of them, so what they cared about was not the result.

Thank you, but I don't need any of those things. If the talent of the Five psycho s does not meet the qualifications to participate in the Nether Sect's Trial, then this brat hopes to use this Profound Iron Token in exchange for an opportunity. That's all.

The importance of the Profound Iron Token surprised Qin Shaojie as well. It seemed that he owed the Holy Flame Academy a huge favor. After all, this thing was very precious. Qin Shaojie did not think that there would be a second one.

However, if he had known that the Holy Flame Academy had such an iron order, it would be rare for him to use so much effort to help the Holy Flame Academy. After all, the Nether Sect would definitely protect the Holy Flame Academy safe and sound if he brought the iron order to the Nether Sect.

It's just that at this point, Qin Shaojie had no choice.

Since that was the case, trading for an opportunity with his profound iron medallion was the only method that Qin Shaojie could think of.

As for the so-called Wealthy and Magnificent Imperial Family, as a cultivator, he didn't care at all. An Earth Ranked Martial Technique and its levelling up, as well as its secret training techniques, were indeed very attractive to warriors. However, Qin Shaojie already had his Heaven Calamity Technique. As for raising his cultivation level, Qin Shaojie was even more worried.

Therefore, something that was extremely attractive in the eyes of others was completely useless against Qin Shaojie.

Wait here for me.

Seeing Qin Shaojie's affirmation, the middle-aged man spoke in a low voice, and then disappeared from the space.

It looks like, this Mysterious Iron Token could break the rules set by the Nether Sect, but it would still require some of the sect's experts to make a decision.
