Chapter 134: Chapter 105: The Ancient Sky Rift
For those with Lower Quality Immortal Bones, reaching Soul Condensing was already quite difficult, yet now he possessed the qualifications to step into the realm of Divine Infant, or even higher realms.
Ever since the changes to the Hidden Dragon List, the attitude of the Taixuan Holy Land towards Chu Zheng had undergone a drastic transformation.
This was a genius whose talent did not pale in comparison to, and might even surpass, that of Ye Yulou, and his importance to Taixuan Holy Land had now exceeded that of one with a Superior Immortal Bone.
Even if one possessed a Superior Immortal Bone, it didn\'t guarantee they could, like Chu Zheng, be compatible with the Taixuan Divine Fire Scripture, a rarity in ten thousand years.
In the current state of disarray, once Chu Zheng\'s cultivation had progressed, he could extend the lifeline of Taixuan, buying a very long period of time, enough for Taixuan to gradually recover its vitality.
Looking at the sea of people below, Fu Quanliang subconsciously turned his head, glancing toward the entrance of the canyon behind him.
At the entrance, several elders in the Divine Transformation Realm and a Mid-Stage of Tongxuan Realm Pseudo-Immortal stood atop the cliff.
This Pseudo-Immortal, surnamed \'Gong\' and named \'Ru Long\', was not only exceptional in cultivation but was also the highest-skilled alchemy Grandmaster within the sect, capable of producing Semi-Immortal Pills desired even by the powerhouses of the Immortal Tribulation Secret Realm.
Gong Ru Long, dressed in plain robes with white hair and beard, seemed close to his seventies, yet stood straight-backed and spirited, his gaze sweeping over the crowd not far away with a slightly complex expression.
In his time, he was the last generation of disciples of Taixuan, with his master and the elders of that time long since passed. Now, in this vast Holy Land, there were no more than a hundred people.
He had almost thought he would not live to see the day of Taixuan\'s resurgence.
When it came to recruiting disciples, Geng Yiyang, as the Holy Master of Taixuan Holy Land, wouldn\'t personally interact with these cultivators.
As the master of a Holy Land, in the entire Southern Region, the only person who could freely see him was Ji Yuyan from the Immortal Alliance.
The elders now standing at the entrance, including Gong Ru Long, were only there to provide support.
Originally, it was only a few elders of the Divine Transformation Realm who were present; Gong Ru Long was there to select a few disciples to inherit his legacy.
In the current Taixuan Holy Land, there was mostly a group of old antiques, on the verge of death, like Fang Jiong, the youngest among them, was also in the latter part of his life.
Whether they could pass on their life\'s accumulation before their death had almost become a chronic worry for these elders.
The huge stone beneath Fu Quanliang was called the \'Sacred Shadow Stone\', akin to the Stepping Stone of Immortality of the Phantom Spirit Sect in effect, capable of determining a cultivator\'s Immortal Bone grade, and filtering out Immortal Seedlings inclined towards the Fire Attribute.
Now, as the person of the lowest cultivation within Taixuan Holy Land, it naturally fell upon him, Fu Quanliang, to undertake the task of recruiting disciples.
In Chu Zheng\'s absence, he was currently the only bridge between Taixuan Holy Land and the outside world.
Seeing Fu Quanliang glance over, Gong Ru Long on the precipice above slightly nodded his head and raised his hand to signal Fu Quanliang to begin.
Fu Quanliang took a deep breath, steadied his spirit, and slowly rose, leaping down from the Sacred Shadow Stone. He looked at the sea of people before him and loudly declared:
"I am Fu Quanliang, an Inner Sect Disciple of Taixuan Holy Land."
The moment he spoke, the crowd instantly fell silent, hushed and speechless.
Seeing this, Fu Quanliang\'s heart steadied, calming his increasingly fervent heartbeat, and he spoke again:
"This time, Taixuan opens its Sect Gate; no matter the grade of your Immortal Bone, only the following three conditions are required."
"Being under the age of ten." On
"Having never Channel(ed) Qi into the body."
"After entering the sect, severing all ties with your blood relatives and clan within a hundred years."
"Those who meet the three conditions and wish to join Taixuan, step forward!"
After stating these three rules, Fu Quanliang felt somewhat uneasy; in his view, the rules were somewhat strict.
Immortal Path Sects generally do not like their disciples to be too deeply entangled with the secular world, as it not only distracts from their cultivation but also brings a lot of trouble.
Mundane people are unlike Immortal Path Cultivators; if they are protected and reproduce without restraint, giving rise to a generation every decade or so, in several hundred years, that amounts to a spontaneous increase of hundreds of thousands of people.
This is just one disciple; if there are hundreds or even thousands of disciples...
In no time at all, just the numerous blood relatives of the disciples alone will number hundreds of millions, and the sects cannot expend energy on this multitude of people.
Even the largest territories would not suffice to sustain so many families of cultivators.
An increase in population means an increase in troubles. Any slight involvement of descendants may implicate the cultivator, leading to conflicts with other powers, increasing the chances of conflict and adding unnecessary losses.
The last rule of Taixuan Holy Land, to cut off from blood relatives and clan within a hundred years, could not be clearer in its intent.
These disciples are being cultivated for Taixuan Holy Land.
Children of ten may have just begun their enlightenment. Leaving their parents\' side, a hundred years hence, it\'s almost certain whether the disciple will be closer to Taixuan or their clan and parents.
Ordinary Immortal Sects, although they have some restrictions, do not overly bind their disciples; at most, they provide a few years of quiet time to avoid worldly disturbances.
In a few years, if the disciples still wish to take care of their own clans, the Immortal Sects generally do not interfere.
Because as time goes by, most cultivators, as their parents and close kin pass away, will naturally focus on the path of cultivation, their hearts belonging to the sect.
Similarly, if trouble arises due to a disciple\'s relatives, generally, sects will not care about the life and death of the disciple\'s kin. For the survival of the sect, when necessary, they may even abandon the disciple along with their family.
