White Moon Sect

Renowned as one of the Four Immortal Sects, the White Moon Sect boasts a history exceeding even the Xia Empire.

Founded over 120,000 years ago by its founding ancestor, it stands as one of the oldest and most established sects in existence.

Though its long history has not been without hardship, the White Moon Sect has faced tribulations that threatened its very survival. Yet, 50,000 years ago, Daoist Su rebuilt the ancient sect, ensuring its continuation for generations to come.

Currently, Fairy Jiao, a cultivator of profound strength in the peak Tribulation Realm, holds the esteemed position of sect master.

A single rank away from achieving true immortality, she embodies the sect's enduring power and legacy.

Lu Feng, Fang Qi, and Lui Ningyue reached the base of the mountain, finally able to fully appreciate the imposing grandeur of the White Moon Sect's dwelling.

Lu Feng gazed at the towering peaks, which he feigned admiration to escape the pirate ship.

Though he had seen the mountain before, its sheer scale struck him anew. Even from the foot of the mountain, the summit remained shrouded in mist, a humbling reminder of nature's vastness.

Fang Qi and Lui Ningyue were equally awestruck by the sight. Their childhood tales of the sect paled in comparison to the reality before them, fueling their excitement and anticipation.

A young woman walked ahead of the trio, her unhurried pace and serene demeanor suggesting a tranquility untouched by the world around her.

She seemed to exude an air of dependability and seniority, despite appearing to be in her early twenties.

Dressed in pristine white robes and golden-laced sandals, her milky white skin glistened like jade.

Her long, white hair cascaded down her back, framing a gentle face. Crystal blue eyes, radiating a frosty aura, contrasted with her serene expression.

Lu Feng, who believed he had seen countless beautiful women in his past lives, felt a sense of awe.

Nothing he had witnessed before could compare to the woman before him.

In this world, the most beautiful woman he had encountered was the merchant lady he had shared a hotel room with, though he insists his intentions were pure.

Fang Qi assessed the woman standing before him, convinced of her strength and reliability in dangerous situations.

The sect entrance exam loomed, and having an extra capable ally wouldn't hurt.

"Miss, are you here for the sect examination?" Fang Qi inquired with enthusiasm.

The woman paused briefly before answering, "Yes, I am."

"Fantastic! Why not join us then? We're all here for the same reason, it's always better with more friends!" Fang Qi beamed.

Lu Feng and Lui Ningyue remained silent, allowing the talkative Fang Qi to take the lead.

The group had expanded in a matter of moments. Lu Feng believes that given Fang Qi's social skills, they might soon have an army for the entrance exam. He had to prevent calamity!

"I'm Lu Feng, these are Fang Qi and Lui Ningyue. We're all on our way to the sect entrance exam," Lu Feng announced, stepping forward.

Fang Qi bristled, feeling his conversation cut short. He shared an unspoken dislike for interruptions, a common trait among extroverts.

"Yun Yue greets the three of you," she replied.

"Yun Yue..." Lui Ningyue whispered, her voice barely audible, as if struggling to recall something from the depths of her memory.

Unaware of Ningyue's reaction, Lu Feng and Fang Qi walked ahead towards Yun Yue.

Suddenly, Lui Ningyue froze, unable to breathe or move. Her eyes darted towards Yun Yue, then quickly retreated, betraying a deep fear.

Yun Yue turned back to look at Lui Ningyue, concern evident in her eyes. "Did something happen?"

Lui Ningyue shook her head, avoiding Yun Yue's gaze.

"Then let's go."

Lui Ningyue followed, not daring to disobey.

Two men and two women continued walking towards sects.

While walking, Lu Feng's heart sank as he realized he had arrived at the sect examination completely unprepared.

He sheepishly turned to Fang Qi, "Say, brother Fang, do you happen to know anything about the exam?"

Fang Qi, still annoyed by Lu Feng's earlier interruption, responded with a smirk, "If I knew, why would I invite you?"

Lu Feng nodded in agreement, but then Fang Qi surprised them all.

"However, I do happen to know about the exam questions. Would you like to hear about them, Miss Ningyue and Miss Yun Yue?"

Both Lu Feng and Lui Lingyue were taken aback, but Yun Yue's astonishment was even greater, as Fang Qi seemed to be telling the truth.

"Do you know about the examination questions?" Yun Yue asked.

Fang Qi responded with a boastful air, "Yes, our family elder has a close friendship with one of the White Moon Sect's elders, and they were able to obtain the exam questions in exchange for a great amount of wealth."

Lu Feng, who possessed only 10 bronze coins and a tattered robe, felt envious.

"Then please tell, little brother Fang Qi," she replied in a calm voice.

Fang Qi cleared his throat and began explaining. "The first question tests your spiritual roots, with no opportunity for cheating or bribery. However, the second and third questions allow for some flexibility."

He continued: "The second question is about justice. A cultivator from the righteous sect is fighting a demonic cultivator. However, the righteous sect cultivator is actually evil, while the demonic cultivator has never committed any crime. We have to choose who to save and who to kill."

Lu Feng, without hesitation, blurted out, "Kill the righteous sect cultivator."

Fang Qi stared at Lu Feng in astonishment, as this was a challenging question that had kept him up many nights.

However, Lu Feng answered it without hesitation.

Lu Feng explained, "This is a test about justice, and we cannot be restricted by ideals. Since the demonic cultivator has never committed any crime, killing him would be unjust."

Fang Qi nodded in agreement, having arrived at the same conclusion.

Lui Ningyue listened quietly, refraining from speaking, seemingly afraid of someone.

Fang Qi posed the third question: "We are stranded in a desert with fellow cultivators, all gravely injured and unable to escape. We discover a demonic cultivation technique that grants immense strength by devouring another's spiritual power. Should we learn this technique or face certain death in the desert?"

Lu Feng's response was immediate: "Learn the technique."

He reasoned, "The desert is teeming with weak spiritual beasts. We can defeat and devour them to regain our strength, eliminating the need to harm our fellow cultivators."

Fang Qi regarded Lu Feng with newfound respect.

It was true, nobody had explicitly stated that the technique required devouring their companions.

And in the face of such dire circumstances, survival outweighed the moral dilemma of learning demonic techniques.

Meanwhile, Yun Yue and Lui Ningyue were unconcerned with Fang Qi and Lu Feng's discussion.

The male duo were deeply engrossed in strategizing.

They meticulously analyzed each potential scenario, scrutinizing every detail and devising cunning methods to ensure their success in the upcoming exam.

Finally, they reached the base of White Moon Sect Mountain.

Fang Qi and Lu Feng inspected their surroundings. A grand gate stood tall, hundreds of feet high, exuding an ancient aura with stairs made of precious stones and a row of sect disciples responsible for conducting exams.

Below the stairs, members of noble families displayed their wealth with luxurious carriages, clothes, and jewelry.

As the first-rated immortal sect, becoming a disciple of the White Moon Sect meant unlocking a path to a limitless future.

A sect disciple stood before the sect entrance, emitting immense pressure and preventing entry until the examination began.

Lu Feng, Ningyue, and Fang Qi grew nervous, awaiting the start of the exam, marking their first step towards joining a sect and embarking on the path of immortality. Seeing them, he felt delight.

He wanted to check Yun Yue's expression and looked back

However, he saw Yun Yue walking past by him, not giving him a glance, straight to Sect's door.

Upon seeing her, the elders from various families were taken aback and quickly moved aside, bowing in respect.

The rows of disciples standing at the door, preventing others from getting in, all bowed and saluted as she approached.

"We welcome Acting Sect Master Yun Yue," they said in unison.

Yun Yue nodded and waved her hand, glancing at the crowd below. In a slow, pleasant voice, she announced,

"Lets begin the Sect Entrance exam."

Lu feng: "..."

Fang Qi: "..."

Lu Feng and Fang Qi looked overwhelmed, but Ningyue remained calm, as if she had been expecting this.

Lu Feng, "It's over, it's all over."
