Chapter XIV: The Host is Inexperienced

After the mountain gate was knocked,

And no one appeared, instead, a stiff puppet emerged from the gate.

This puppet was created by Jiang Chen using the Chaos Immortal Scripture to simulate the divine technique "Scattering Beans to Form Soldiers," originally meant to deter those seeking to join the Taiyi Mountain Gate.

Now Jiang Chen, Ji Xuan, both in seclusion, while Chen Fan completely ignorant of external affairs,

So when Xiao Tian knocked on the door,

Only this puppet appeared to greet him.

Although the puppet's strength was not high, being created using the "Scattering Beans to Form Soldiers" technique, it appeared lifelike, albeit a bit rigid, and could only utter two phrases..

The puppet asked, "Are you here to join the sect?"

Xiao Tian nodded hastily and said, "Elder, the reputation of the Taiyi Sect precedes it, and we have long admired it. We've come here today to formally seek to join the sect."

"The sect's enrollment ceremony will be held in September. You should come back then to join the sect," echoed the puppet's voice.

Hearing this, Xiao Tian's face fell with disappointment, but he still asked tentatively, "Elder, I am eager to join the sect. Could you arrange for me to meet a senior disciple?"

"The sect's enrollment ceremony will be held in September. You should come back then to join the sect."

The puppet repeated the same words.

This repetition frustrated Xiao Tian greatly.

September was still more than two months away,

And he had only a little over two months left in his lifespan!

Time was running out!

Was he supposed to just wait here until then?

"Alas!"

Xiao Tian sighed heavily, no longer seeking accommodation, as it was clear the puppet would not budge.

"Old Ancestor, this elder puppet is simply too heartless," Xiao Tian complained to the voice in his ring.

But the Old Ancestor's tone turned grave as he said, "Tian'er, this is not a living person...."

"What?!" Xiao Tian was shocked.

"That elder is not a living person but a long-lost ancient puppet technique. I heard about it when I traveled through the Eastern Wilderness. I never expected to encounter it here," the Old Ancestor's voice carried deep astonishment!

Xiao Tian was even more surprised!

An ancient technique long lost to history!

"Could it be that the Taiyi Sect is an ancient inheritance?" Xiao Tian speculated.

The Old Ancestor's tone was solemn, "I don't know, but what I can confirm is that my calculations using life's divinations have never been wrong. The Taiyi Sect is not such a simple sect. The stone tablets, puppet techniques, everything indicates the sect's strength and mystery. Perhaps they really have a way to save you."

"Old Ancestor, what should we do now?"

"Wait here until the Taiyi Sect's enrollment ceremony begins, then enter the sect."

"Alright."

After that, Xiao Tian found a cave in the mountain forest, sat inside to heal, slowing down the speed of his death, waiting for the day when the Taiyi Sect's enrollment ceremony would begin.

Meanwhile, in the Taiyi Sect.

Jiang Chen was indeed in seclusion, unaware that someone was seeking to join the sect at the mountain gate, otherwise, he would have definitely noticed Xiao Tian, the Child of Destiny.

It could only be said that it was destined to happen.

For the next month, Jiang Chen spent his days in contemplation of the Chaos Immortal Scripture, except for the daily sign-in.

The rewards for signing in were various pills, array formations, and meditation chambers. There were no appearances of sect buildings, indicating a low probability of their occurrence.

The array formations, meditation chambers, and various pills were basically guaranteed rewards for signing in.

Additionally,

During this month, Jiang Chen's cultivation reached the peak of the Heavenly Pill Realm, just one step away from breaking into the Purple Mansion Realm.

In fact, Jiang Chen could break into the Purple Mansion Realm in one go,

But he was planning for a greater future,

Using the Chaos Immortal Scripture to reshape his physique, transforming the Moonlight Divine Body into the Chaos Body, or even the Chaos Immortal Body, so he didn't rush the breakthrough.

Because the higher the realm, the greater the difficulty in evolving into the Chaos Body.

"No hurry..."

"The Moonlight Divine Body is powerful, but ultimately not the strongest. I must evolve into the Chaos Body," Jiang Chen thought to himself.

In this world, there were ten thousand types of Minor Physiques, ten thousand types of Major Physiques, a hundred types of Supreme Physiques, and ten types of Supreme Immortal Bodies.

The Moonlight Divine Body ranked among the top hundred of the Major Physiques,

While the Chaos Body was the number one among the hundred types of Supreme Physiques,

As for the legendary Chaos Immortal Body, it was the number one among the ten types of Supreme Immortal Bodies!

It was obvious which was stronger.

Jiang Chen possessed the Chaos Immortal Scripture, and with just one Immortal Emperor-level technique, he could elevate the Chaos Immortal Scripture to a higher level. There was no reason for him not to desire the Chaos Body or even the Chaos Immortal Body.

"But there's no need to rush."

"Calculating the time, the Meteor Saint's Secret Realm is about to open."

Jiang Chen calculated with his fingers, then stood up and walked out of the Taiyi Mountain.

Sure enough,

Ji Xuan was already waiting for Jiang Chen here, lying carelessly against an ancient tree.

Seeing the Master, clad in a blue Daoist robe, ethereal and dignified, Ji Xuan shivered, quickly stood up, and respectfully said, "Disciple pays respects to Master!"

"No need for formalities."

Jiang Chen waved his hand, his gaze fell on Ji Xuan, and he smiled lightly, "You've already broken through to the Sea Realm, not bad."

Ji Xuan hurriedly said, "Thanks to Master's teachings, otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't have broken through so quickly."

"Mm."

Jiang Chen nodded, saying, "The Meteor Saint's Secret Realm is about to open. I'll take you back to the imperial capital, and you can participate in the Meteor Saint's Secret Realm."

Ji Xuan was overjoyed, incredibly excited.

Whose Master could compare to his own Master's strength?

Bringing back such a powerful and mysterious Master, he would definitely teach those arrogant princes a lesson!

By then, wouldn't his coolness value soar like flowing water?

Thinking back to the humiliation he suffered in the first few days after crossing over, and thinking about himself taking revenge soon, Ji Xuan couldn't help but feel extremely excited!

"Master, let's go!"

Saying that, Ji Xuan rushed towards the mountain gate like Sun Wukong, in a hurry.

"You little monkey."

Jiang Chen chuckled and scolded, then casually shouted, "Thunderbird."

Swoosh—

A loud cry rang out, and the massive Thunderbird flew out from a divine peak, covering the sky as it soared towards the Taiyi Mountain.

Looking up, Ji Xuan was dumbfounded.

[Ding, the host was shown a naive appearance by others, embarrassing! Minus 5 show-off points.]

"F*ck...Dog system."

Ji Xuan cursed inwardly, his face turning red...okay, maybe he was a bit of a country bumpkin. What kind of character was his Master? How could he possibly walk to the imperial capital? There must be a majestic mount! ..................
