Chen Feng and Chen Ling walked into the Chen Family’s Main Hall together.
The spacious hall was already crowded with children around their age, and lively chatter echoed throughout the room.
Suddenly—
“Silence!”
A powerful voice thundered across the hall, instantly quieting everyone.
The speaker was the First Elder, Chen Wan.
Standing beside him at the front of the hall was the Family Head, Chen Fan, whose dignified presence commanded everyone’s respect.
Chen Wan looked over the younger generation before speaking in a solemn voice.
“Today is a special day for the Chen Family.
It marks the beginning of your cultivation journey.
You will soon depart for one of the greatest sects in the Central Plains—
The Heavenly God Sect.”
Chen Fan stepped forward with his hands behind his back.
“Every great family sends its most talented descendants to the sect.
There, you will cultivate, grow stronger, and one day return to bring honor and glory to the Chen Family.”
His sharp gaze swept across every child.
“You are the future of our family.”
After a brief pause, he continued,
“To aid you on your journey, the family will provide each of you with five Spirit Stones.”
Spirit Stones were condensed crystals of pure spiritual energy, or Qi.
They served as both the primary currency of the cultivation world and a valuable resource for cultivation.
Just then—
BOOM!
A deafening clap of thunder shook the heavens as lightning illuminated the sky outside the hall.
Everyone instinctively rushed outside.
Hovering above them was a gigantic eagle with wings large enough to cast a massive shadow over the entire courtyard.
Standing proudly upon its back was an elderly man whose powerful aura radiated like an invisible mountain.
Chen Fan smiled faintly.
“That is Elder Wen Fian of the Heavenly God Sect.
He has come to escort the new disciples to the sect.”
The giant eagle slowly descended before the Main Hall.
After stepping onto the ground, Elder Wen Fian greeted both the Family Head and the First Elder with a respectful nod.
His gaze soon fell upon the gathered children.
“So these are the young talents joining the Heavenly God Sect?”
A smile appeared on his face.
“It seems several of them possess remarkable potential.”
Following his instructions, the children boarded the giant eagle one after another.
Chen Ling quickly found a seat beside Chen Feng.
Without hesitation, she gently held his hand before resting her head on his shoulder.
“Let me sleep on your shoulder for a while…”
She smiled softly.
“After today, who knows when we’ll get another chance to sit together like this?”
Chen Feng smiled faintly.
“Alright.”
“Get some rest.
I’ll wake you when we arrive.”
With everyone aboard, the giant eagle spread its enormous wings and soared into the sky.
The wind howled as it flew above mountains, rivers, forests, and endless clouds at astonishing speed.
Less than half a day later, the Heavenly God Sect finally came into view.
The sect’s enormous gates towered toward the heavens like ancient giants.
Countless runes glowed faintly across their surface while a mysterious protective formation surrounded the entrance.
Chen Feng gently tapped Chen Ling’s shoulder.
“Wake up, Chen Ling.”
“We’re here.”
She slowly opened her eyes before looking around in amazement.
“So…
this is the Heavenly God Sect…”
After passing through the outer gates, the group ventured deeper into the sect.
Floating islands drifted peacefully among the clouds.
Majestic mountains pierced the heavens.
Waterfalls flowed through the sky like silver dragons, while the surrounding spiritual energy was so rich that simply breathing felt refreshing.
Just then—
A graceful figure descended from the sky.
She wore elegant white robes that fluttered gently in the breeze, her appearance resembling that of a celestial fairy.
Her calm gaze swept across the new disciples.
“Who among you is Chen Feng and Chen Ling?”
The two immediately stepped forward.
“We are.”
The woman nodded.
“My name is Meilin.”
“I am your Senior Sister.”
She carefully observed the two children before continuing,
“After your Spirit Roots are tested, you will follow me to Azure Cloud Peak.”
“Master is already waiting for your arrival.”
Chen Feng and Chen Ling respectfully bowed.
“Greetings, Senior Sister Meilin.”
Following her instructions, the two walked toward the Spirit Root Testing Stone.
Chen Ling stepped forward first.
The moment her hand touched the stone—
A brilliant pillar of icy-white light shot into the heavens.
An overwhelming cold spread throughout the area as frost rapidly formed across the ground beneath everyone’s feet.
Elder Wen Fian’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“An Ice-Type Top-Tier Spirit Root!”
He couldn’t hide the excitement in his voice.
“Azure Cloud Peak has truly gained an extraordinary disciple.”
Soon, it was Chen Feng’s turn.
Without the slightest trace of nervousness, he calmly placed his hand upon the testing stone.
The next instant—
A terrifying pillar of light erupted into the sky.
Its brilliance seemed capable of devouring the heavens themselves.
The entire Heavenly God Sect trembled.
To Be Continued…
