Chapter 362: Countdown to Shangguan Ziqian’s Exposure…
Including Ning Suyan and Chu You, everyone was still dizzy and hadn't quite figured out the situation.
After entering the hall, they were even more confused.
Originally, when choosing a sect or family in the world of cultivation, there was at least an introduction.
Here, whether it is a sect, a family or a country, they all have only a name.
"No? The names of the seven countries don't sound at all like they belong to the human race or some other race. What if we choose a country ruled by another race?"
Yelang was already devastated. From the time he was born till now, he had never encountered such a ridiculous thing!
Brother Xiaotu smiled slightly awkwardly:
"Everyone, choosing a faction is not a one-way choice, but a 'two-way choice'.
The names here are only those of seven countries, five great heavenly sects, and four great heavenly families.”
Zhao Ming: "What do you mean?"
Brother Xiaotu: "What it means is that the force you choose must also choose you before you can join it."
"What if I get rejected?"
Ye Jinyao was becoming more and more worried. The life and cultivation in the fairy world had seriously exceeded her cognition and ability.
This group of second-generation cultivators who were born in the world of cultivation since childhood are actually the simplest group of people among the seven realms of Hongmeng.
Ever since I was old enough to understand, I have been practicing cultivation all the time, and I believe that ascending to heaven and becoming an immortal is my lifelong pursuit.
No one told them what life would be like after ascending to the fairyland. How could they not be panicked at this moment?
Seeing that several people were worried, Xiao Tuge continued to explain:
"Each of you will have three chances to choose. You will then drop a drop of blood onto the three talent stones you have chosen. The screeners from the relevant forces will be able to read your talents remotely. They will then choose to accept or reject your joining based on your talents.
If the forces you choose three times all reject you, you will be listed as 'subject to random adjustment' and we will adjust you according to the situation.
In our fairy world, the sects and the world are divided into four levels: 'Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang'. Once rejected by the heavenly sects and families, they can only be transferred to the sects of the 'Earth, Xuan, and Huang' levels.
Their strength and cultivation resources naturally decrease in sequence.
After being transferred, no matter which faction you choose, if you still refuse, you will become a casual cultivator."
It would be better not to say this, as it would make them even more anxious.
Chu You sighed helplessly and immediately returned to his relaxed and enthusiastic state:
"You're all worried too much. Just now, Brother Xiaotu said that we are the first group of people to ascend in a hundred years. Many immortals have fallen in the immortal world in the past hundred years. We shouldn't be rejected."
After a pause, Chu You suddenly thought of something, and a flash of inspiration came to him:
"Brother Xiaotu, you just said that we have three chances to choose. If we are chosen by three forces at the same time, can I choose against them?
If only one faction chooses me, do I still need to confirm before we can reach an agreement?"
"Yeah!
I just forgot to tell you this rule, that's it! "
Brother Xiaotu looked at Chu You happily:
"For physical cultivators like Miss Chu and Miss Ning, as long as they don't choose the four nations established by the Sea Clan, Bird Clan, Beast Clan, and Demon Clan, the other three nations, sects, and families established by humans will definitely fight for them!"
Chu You understood and looked at everyone excitedly:
“That’s easy. We all choose the same three options, and unless one of the forces accepts all of us, we agree.
Otherwise, we will reject them all and accept the adjustment.
Once we are transferred to the same faction, we will accept it!"
After a pause, she considered that Chu You and Situ Yuner were mermaids, and quickly added:
“However, since Little Situ is a mermaid, it may not be easy for him to be accepted by human forces.
If you're worried about being dragged down, you can form a group and we can form a group at Wuji Mountain. How about that?"
"Who are you looking down on?"
Yelang was the first to be unhappy:
"Why are you dragging us down? It's clearly us who are dragging you down!"
Zhao Ming also said:
"Yes!
Are you, the Wuji Mountain, the only ones allowed to 'gather together like a ball of fire, and scatter like a sky full of stars'?
After all, we all came from the world of cultivation together, so can't we 'advance and retreat together, and share difficulties'?"
Jun Mohan rarely took the initiative to express his own opinions, and he was still so upright and righteous:
"Together, we advance and retreat together!"
Several other cultivators who were not from Wuji Mountain also expressed their agreement. Even Fang Tai, who was usually silent, spoke up:
"All living beings suffer, but even in suffering there is joy. My joy is to cultivate together with you, sharing the same ideals."
Upon hearing this, Chu You and several other people from Wuji Mountain exchanged glances and nodded.
This made Xiao Tuge dumbfounded:
"You...really want to do this?"
Just now, Brother Xiaotu and the others quietly investigated the approximate qualifications of these eighteen ascenders. In fact, there are differences in their spiritual roots or physiques.
If one has a heavenly spiritual root, he will naturally be easily accepted by all major forces, just like a physical cultivator.
However, ordinary top-grade or superior spiritual roots are almost as numerous as cattle hairs in the fairy world, especially for cultivators like alchemy cultivators and talisman cultivators who are common in the fairy world. I am afraid they may not necessarily be accepted by good sects or families.
Although it is not difficult to join a country, it is very likely that you will only be given the title of "commoner" at the beginning. You will be exhausted all day long and will not receive much compensation and resources. You can only barely make ends meet.
"That's for sure!"
The eighteen people spoke in unison without any hesitation.
Seeing this, Brother Xiao Tu did not try to persuade them any further, but placed the sixteen names in front of the eighteen people.
The seven great immortal kingdoms: Yunlan Kingdom, Qingyu Kingdom, Chiyan Kingdom, Youyue Kingdom, Yuheng Kingdom, Lingyuan Kingdom and Xingluo Kingdom.
The five top-grade sects: Qiankun Taoist Sect, Xingchen Sword Sect, Baicao Fairy Valley, Huanmeng Fairy Pavilion and Ziyan Divine Sect.
The four great families of heaven: the Yehe family, the Beiming family, the Duanmu family, and the Gongsun family.
Everyone was a little confused about whether to go to the country or to the family sect.
After thinking about it, their eyes finally focused on Chu You and Ning Suyan in tacit understanding.
Chu You was ashamed:
"What are you all doing, looking at us?"
Yelang: "You have the most ideas and methods, and Uncle Ning has the most experience. It's up to you to decide."
Chu You: “…”
Although what he said was not very pleasant to hear, Chu You had to admit that what Ye Lang said was indeed true.
Chu You and Ning Suyan looked at each other and said in unison:
"Choose a country!"
The reason is very simple. Sects and families choose the best from the best, and in most cases, each sect has a different focus. Even comprehensive sects like Wuji Mountain may not be willing to accommodate all of them.
A country must have the largest territory and the scope of its jurisdiction must also be extremely wide.
Although the hierarchy may be the most, it is precisely because of the "levels 3 and 6" that they are very likely to all be accepted!
Chu You had just inquired about it. The three major human race countries often intermarry with countries of other races, so it is very likely that they will accept Situ Yuner.
"it is good!
Just choose the country!"
The others nodded without any hesitation.
But when they looked at the names of these seven countries, they were a little confused:
Which three should I choose?
If none of the countries selected are self-established by humans, they will most likely be rejected, and we will have no choice but to obey the arrangements.
But among these names, only "Qingyu Kingdom" sounds like a country built by animal immortals.
The other six are hard to judge.
"Or, shall we draw lots?"
Chu You made another extremely unreasonable suggestion, but it has become a highly feasible method at present.
So, under Xiao Tu Ge's third surprised look, this group of disciples actually started drawing lots and counting the votes!
When it was finally concluded that the three countries of "Yunlan Kingdom", "Yuheng Kingdom" and "Xingluo Kingdom" had the highest number of votes, Chu You secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, "Lingyuan Country" is not on the list.
Because the name of this country is exactly the same as the name of the female-dominated country in Chu You’s sixth reincarnation!
Although it was most likely a coincidence, Chu You still felt a little uncomfortable.
When Ning Suyan handed the selection result to Brother Xiao Tu, Chu You asked in a low voice:
"Brother Xiaotu, among the three countries established by humans, are they male-dominated countries? Or female-dominated countries?"
"Both! There are even some countries that are more tolerant..."
Brother Xiaotu smiled and kept the secret:
"You have only obtained your identity cards, but have not yet been accepted by the forces of the immortal world, so you have not truly entered the immortal gate.
Therefore, I am not in a position to reveal too much specific information about these forces.
However, you don't have to worry too much. Even if you become a casual cultivator, we will give you a copy of "The Grand View of the Immortal Realm," which contains the latest records of the major forces and can help you better understand the specific situation of the immortal world."
"That's good."
Chu You felt a lot more relieved, at least he wasn't wandering around blindly.
Then, under the guidance of Xiao Tu Ge and others, the eighteen people dripped their blood on the three talent stones in front of them.
For them, it is a very common operation.
Because the eighteen people huddled together for warmth, they didn't feel nervous at all.
Little did they know that the three countries they chose, the four countries they didn't choose, the five great sects and the four great families were all in an uproar at the same time!
Because the choices of all the newly ascended immortals are in the same immortal jade slip group and can be seen!
Eighteen people ascended at once, and there were only sixteen forces for them to choose from for the first time.
Not to mention that every faction has someone selected, but according to convention, at least half of the factions should be selected.
Moreover, it is common for three or five of them to make the same choice.
Eighteen people like this, all making the same choice, is rare in the past thousand years!
Huanmeng Fairy Pavilion selection officer: "Tsk tsk! I saw several fairy ladies and thought our Huanmeng Fairy Pavilion would have new members. I didn't expect that all of them chose the country?"
The selection officer of Baicao Fairy Valley said: "There are three alchemists here, but Baicao Fairy Valley, which prioritizes alchemy cultivation, didn't choose me. Isn't our name obvious enough?"
The Star Sword Sect selection officer said, "Our names are obvious, but they didn't choose us, even though they have two Heavenly Grade Sword Cultivators. What on earth are they trying to do?"
Purple Flame Divine Sect's selection officer: "I have a bold guess, but I don't want to say it now!"
Screeners: "Tsk... (disdainful emoji)"
If Chu You was also in this jade slip group, he would definitely be shocked.
Because the emoticons sent by these screening officials were exactly the emoticons she designed for Shangguan Ziqian’s Baibaozhai jade slips!
Now, there is also a fierce dispute among the internal screening officials of the three countries they chose.
