Chapter 607
Chapter 607
In the cramped room, Cao Xinghua sat in front of the computer with lifeless eyes.
Recently, his life has been going up and down…
He was originally an outstanding student who graduated from Anhu University and became a well-known company. In just two years, he had climbed to a high position. He had a car and a house. He also had young and beautiful friends. Now, he had become the winner of life…
His career had been framed. Not only had he been fired by the company, but he was also unable to raise his head in the circle. He had also paid a considerable amount of illegal fees. The house he had just bought and his car had been mortgaged.
Even his female companion ran away with the rich second generation.
Oh, this can’t be counted as recent. The female companion actually cheated on him a long time ago, just that he didn’t know about it.
Thinking of this, Cao Xinghua stared at the lifeless salted fish eyes, his finger tapping on the mouse as he mechanically browsed the various job seeking websites.
He didn’t read anything until…
A large, pop-up window that occupied two-thirds of the screen appeared.
“Want to understand the meaning of life, want to… live?”
More than a dozen bright words stimulated his nerves.
Cao Xinghua’s lifeless eyes had a little brilliance. For some reason, he pressed “Yes”.
Immediately,
Hua —
The computer screen rippled like water and appeared… a website with an exquisite picture.
Immortal Sect!
Self-cultivation, motivation, pursuit of life, and control fate…
Here, you can throw away the troubles of the world and pursue the pinnacle of life.
The background music echoed and looked down from the sky. The mountains were surrounded and the water was flowing. Just looking at the picture made people feel refreshed.
In the official agreement with Anxia, the website did not reveal the true power of the awakened. The “immortal sect” was just an extraordinary mortal sect.
Just like the sects in Anxia’s country, there was no part-time tourist spot.
However, what Anxia didn’t know was that although the video data on the website didn’t reveal any special power, the design of the entire website itself, including background music, text, and pictures, was the manifestation of special power.
Using runes, illusions, and many skills in music, even if one could only exert a bit of strength through the Internet, it was enough to change some things.
Cao Xinghua, who was at the lowest point of his life, was gradually attracted.
It turned out to be a sect, a place for “cultivation”.
To stay away from the mortal world and seek inner peace… It just so happened to attract Cao Xinghua.
He saw that on the website, it was written that the Immortal Sect’s recruitment ceremony would be in three days.
“Why don’t we… go take a look?”
He had the idea of avoiding the world.
-The premise was that the immortal sect was as the website said.
Cao Xinghua had never heard of the name of the “immortal sect”. He knew little about the sects in Anxia, but he saw a picture on the website. It was a national newspaper from two days ago, which published about the immortal sect.
He checked and found that it was true.
Even though the page occupied was not big, but with the national endorsement, this sect would not be fake.
Cao Xinghua made up his mind.
…
Summer calendar, 5th month, 1st, cloudy.
On this day,
The immortal sect office in Anhu welcomed many unfamiliar faces.
Although it was said to be an office, it was actually a building that was more than ten stories high. Even if not for in the city center, it was equally expensive. However, the immortal sect rented an entire building, fully demonstrating what it meant to be rich and overbearing.
A famous person once said,
“It doesn’t matter if an organization is strong or not. What’s important is to give them a name that is high enough and a face that has the same level of power.”
Tang Yu also believed that anything that could be solved with money was not a problem.
As expected,
Many of the “seekers” who had come from afar were also a little surprised.
The office at Anhu was not the place where the apprenticeship ceremony was held. It was just a gathering place.
At this time,
Tang Yu and Gong Ling were standing on the highest floor of the building. They were looking out of the window at a huge floor-to-ceiling window.
“Is there any problem with the manpower?”
“Yes, the fake puppets provided by Master are very useful.”
He also hired a professional management team. Even if there are several times more people, there will be no trouble.
Until the departure, the number of people registered was five hundred and thirty-two people.
He was sure that many of these people had ulterior motives, and those who could reach the end and become a part of the Immortal Sect, talent, moral character, and loyalty were all indispensable.
More than a dozen buses set off.
After driving for more than three minutes, they finally stopped at a village closest to the Door of Immortality.
“The first test of the Door of Immortality is to set off from here and walk through more than ten kilometers of forest to reach the real location of the Door of Immortality.”
A middle-aged man dressed in sports attire shouted as he held a loudspeaker.
He was one of the people who helped the assessment and was also the main person in charge.
However, this was the first time that Xiang Jinghong’s team had received countless orders to help the sect assessment.
He was clear about the assessment process.
Only,
Xiang Jinghong was very suspicious. After a few checkpoints, would there really be people who could reach the end… or would they be willing to reach the end?
Sure enough, when they heard that they needed to walk through more than ten kilometers of mountain forest, many people’s expressions changed again and again. Some people even cursed loudly.
After Xiang Jinghong and the others stopped cursing for a while, they followed the requirements and said, “Those who are unwilling can return to Anhu by bus. However, those who give up on their own initiative will forever lose the chance to join an immortal sect in the future.”
“Pah! Playing with us? Who wants to join your broken immortal sect!”
A one-meter-tall burly man swore and looked at Xiang Jinghong’s team with an unfriendly expression. Only when he saw that there were still many security guards wearing sunglasses did the burly man turn around and board the bus with an unhappy expression.
Not long later, more than thirty people had left.
This was the first stage, killing off some people with weak minds or simply playing around.
Cao Xinghua stood in the crowd and was not conspicuous.
He was not disappointed, instead, he was more interested.
The office and entrance examination all showed that the “Immortal School” was not ordinary, not the kind of casual sect… The only thing Cao Xinghua was worried about now was whether he could pass the examination.
After filtering away more than thirty people, the remaining nearly five hundred “Dao seekers” marched towards the mountain forest.
Cao Xinghua was in the middle and back section. He did not walk too fast, but tried to preserve his strength as much as possible – it was not easy to pass through a mountain forest of more than ten kilometers, not to mention that this was only the first test.
He saw that in the forest, many big trees were tied with red ropes. He knew that this was a reference object, and there was a road sign a little distance away, which said, “There is still a kilometer to the Immortal School.”
The lush forest was not hot, but he needed to cross obstacles from time to time. He pushed aside the branches or bushes. After walking for a few kilometers, Cao Xinghua began to catch his breath.
Xiang Jinghong was much more relaxed. He often ran far away and climbed the mountain. He was still at ease. At this time, he was holding a walkie-talkie and directing the entire team.
Most of their team followed the team into the mountain. The security personnel were responsible for guarding against the possible beast attacks. The medical personnel were ready to be treated at any time. There were also photographers carrying cameras. They recorded every bit of the team into the mountain.
They were very professional and worthy of their employment fees.
