Some female disciples were gathering not far away, and a group of voluptuous girls had already rushed over to register.
Ming Zhian and Xiao Linglong quickly hurried over and joined the queue.
A woman in a purple flowing gown, accompanied by two junior sisters, paused as she passed. She smiled at Ming Zhian and said, "This cultivator may return. We at Wan Li Sen Mu only recruit female disciples."
Ming Zhian returned her smile, "I know. I'm just accompanying her to the trial."
The woman nodded with a smile and walked straight to the registration desk.
A female disciple raised her voice, "Attention everyone! Please be quiet! The trial will now be presided over by Senior Sister Tie Xiaoyan of the Gai Xiao Sect's Proud Peak Gate."
Senior Sister Tie Xiaoyan of Proud Peak Gate was clearly the woman in purple. Her smile matched her name. "Esteemed ladies, some of you come from prominent families, others from various large or small clans. None of that matters. We at Wan Li Sen Mu are not strict in recruiting cultivators, except for one thing: we only accept female disciples. Any woman who has reached the first level of Qi Condensation may participate in this trial. Whether you seize this opportunity depends on yourselves.
The trial preparation time is three days from now. You may begin registering now. In three days, the location will be the same, and we will gather here. Do you understand?"
"Understood! ... Understood. ..."
Tie Xiaoyan nodded with satisfaction. It seemed this batch of female cultivators was polite and orderly.
As the girls eagerly registered, several spatial rifts suddenly tore open!
Six figures emerged from the void. They were all goddess-like beings. Their attire varied, but all exuded a captivating allure, hinting at what lay beneath. For any man to witness, even a single glance would cause their spirit to wither and fade.
The female disciples, along with Tie Xiaoyan, knelt in reverence, "Greetings, Grand Sect Master! Sect Master Shang Qian, Sect Master Bei Zhong, Sect Master Dong Xin, Sect Master Wu, Sect Master Mu Lan!"
Even the girls exclaimed, "Wha... What?! Five Sect Masters of Wan Li Sen Mu, and even the Grand Sect Master Dong Qian Yue is here? Holy hell!..."
Dong Qian Yue, riding a Phoenix of Nine Colors and clad in a sheer pink dress, exuded an unparalleled sexiness, a commanding presence that deterred blasphemy. "Rise."
"Thank you, Grand Sect Master! ..."
Ming Zhian whispered to Xiao Linglong, "That phoenix... I've seen it before. It's the one that brought me and Bake to Xiugu Realm."
Xiao Linglong paid no mind to Ming Zhian's words, instead gazing upwards, searching for something.
Dong Qian Yue offered a rare, faint smile, "Sects of Prosperous Flowers, Dense Woods, Five Fingers, Yao Chu, and Gai Xiao have all arrived? You are quite well-informed."
Dong Xin Que of the Five Fingers Sect lowered her head, giggling, "Didn't the Grand Sect Master also sense the powerful spiritual fluctuations?"
Dong Qian Yue looked down at the crowd, "A once-in-a-millennium encounter. This little girl is born with strong spiritual energy. Perhaps she is the future hope of our Wan Li Sen Mu."
Bei Zhong Xue Lian of Dense Woods Sect said, "Grand Sect Master, don't hog her from us. Let us have a share."
Dong Qian Yue's expression turned cold, "No."
Wu Junzhu of Yao Chu Sect fanned herself with her delicate hand, appearing a bit warm. "Grand Sect Master, don't be so stingy. Let us juniors have some of it. You always eat the meat; you must leave some soup for us to drink, right?"
Dong Qian Yue glared at her, "Junzhu, when have you ever seen me eat meat? Don't assume I'm ignorant just because I don't involve myself in worldly affairs. You already have two direct disciples, yet I have none."
Wu Junzhu smiled slightly, "The Grand Sect Master aims high and sees far, unlike us minor sect masters who can only scrape by with meager provisions."
Dong Qian Yue scoffed. Wu Junzhu licked her lips and wisely fell silent, "I take it back."
Dong Qian Yue turned to the other two who remained silent, "Ling Hua, Sister, do you two have nothing to say?"
Mu Lan Jie Jie of Gai Xiao Sect said, "Whatever the Grand Sect Master says goes. I have no objections."
Everyone watched the six sect masters argue incessantly. They dared not speak rashly, only murmuring their thoughts internally.
