Ninth In the World

Because of the doubts in his heart, Di Jiu believed that after he and Geng Jihua joined the sect, Elder Yu would definitely come to see them again. When he did, Di Jiu would find out why he had decided to take them in.

What puzzled Di Jiu was that three days after the immortal sect recruitment had ended, he still had not seen Elder Yu.

When Geng Jihua boarded the huge immortal dharma ship, he started touching everything excitedly.

Even though Di Jiu had been focused on finding Elder Yu, he had not seen the old man again by the time the ship took off.

The speed of the immortal ship was very fast. The ship would be flying for a day and a night before it stopped at a huge square.

“This place really exists, Brother Jiu. It’s like an immortal land.” Geng Jihua, who was standing behind Di Jiu, saw the vast imperial gate and got excited again.

He actually had been excited ever since they had joined the Galaxy Sect a few days earlier. When the ship took off, he simply forced himself to sleep. Now that the ship was off, he could finally sleep well.

Di Jiu had never seen a cultivation sect before, so although he was not as excited as Geng Jihua, he was still very impressed.

As they left the wide square, the words “The Galaxy Sect” could be seen in the clouds. They looked magnificent. At the end of the square was a bluestone road a few feet wide that led to the three words. Di Jiu could not see the Galaxy Sect yet, so he suspected that there was a protective array formation around it.

“Thank you, Master!” A woman in a red dress ran out excitedly and fell to the ground.

The third disciple, who was led away by He Mufeng, was Jin Chisheng, and the fourth one, who was accepted as a disciple by He Shuifeng, was Ping Yao. It was just as Di Jiu had expected.

Wei Shanshan, Jin Chisheng and Ping Yao all had double Spirit Roots, including one pure Spirit Root.

After the four true disciples were led away, Zheng Jinghui said loudly, “Everyone quieten down. Although those four disciples have better development prospects, you all still have a chance of becoming inner sect disciples. It is not impossible for you to become true disciples of the Inner Peak, or even core disciples.”

Everyone, regardless of whether they understood or not, was listening to Zheng Jinghui’s words quietly.

Zheng Jinghui then added out loud, “However, this does not mean that you will become inner sect disciples as soon as you enter the Galaxy Sect. According to the rules of the Galaxy Sect, no matter how good your roots are, if you have not been chosen as a true disciple the first time, then you can only be an outer sect disciple. If you can’t attain the fourth-stage Qi Refinement realm in three years, you will automatically become a servant disciple or leave the sect.”

Zheng Jinghui’s words made the outer sect disciples who had not known the rules anxious. It seemed like they would not be able to relax even after entering the Galaxy Sect. They hadn’t known that they would need to attain the fourth-stage Qi Refinement realm in three years. Otherwise, they would have been way more nervous.

“All outer sect disciples need to build a foundation before they can apply to become inner sect disciples…”

Di Jiu secretly thought that it would be really hard to become an inner sect disciple. In his opinion, building a foundation was not an easy task. His ancestors had left the Ji Nation to build a foundation without any idea where to go. It was not clear whether the foundation establishment had been successful either.

“After becoming an inner sect disciple, you can apply for an individual cave abode.” When Zheng Jinghui saw the relaxed expression on everyone’s faces, he said with a sneer, “So far, only 50-60% of the people in the Galaxy Sect have successfully built a foundation. In other words, only five to six people from this group will be able to build a foundation.”

His words were like a pot of cold water splashed on top of everyone’s heads. According to Zheng, if one excluded the four true disciples most likely to build a foundation, only two to three more people would successfully build a foundation.

Zheng Jinghui, who obviously did not care about everyone’s feelings, said, “The residences are allocated based on the quality of your Spirit Roots…”

Zheng Jinghui kept talking for a long time before Di Jiu and Geng Jihua received the basic items for cultivation. They were given two sets of outer sect disciple robes, an identity card, a cultivation technique manual for Galaxy Qi cultivation, and a low-grade dharma saber. The sight of the saber made Di Jiu miss his old kitchen knife, which must have been taken away by the woman back in the Big Dipper Palace.

It would take him one month to get his first Spirit Stone. Plus, Spirit Stones could only be obtained through sect missions.

Elder Yu was not there, so no one looked after them. Di Jiu and Geng Jihua were assigned to the worst areas reserved for outer sect disciples.

Di Jiu did not care about his residence, as the aura there was still a lot better than on Earth.

“Can I stop by tomorrow morning, Brother Jiu?” Geng Jihua looked around his residence before immediately running over to Di Jiu’s. Ever since they had joined the Galaxy Sect, his excitement had not subsided.

Di Jiu knew what Geng Jihua wanted. The next morning, they would be having their first outer sect disciple lesson, which would be an introduction on cultivation.

“I won’t attend the lesson, but you go ahead. I have to rest for a few days. Please don’t bother me for no reason while I rest,” Di Jiu said.

He simply would not go. He had already attained the seventh-stage Qi Refinement realm, so he could now complete a Qi circulation. When he had tried to run a complete Qi circulation with the Major Conduit Internal Records earlier, his meridian healing speed had increased several times.

Therefore, the first thing Di Jiu would do now was skip class so he could quickly restore his meridians and cultivation level.
