The defiant young man who was pushed out wanted to continue boarding the ship, but was sent flying by a member of the Tianhe Sect who was guarding the entrance.

“If you can’t board the ship, it means your talent doesn’t measure up. Don’t cause trouble here!”

It was then that everyone realized that boarding the ship was the first test.

Considering the size of the vessel, the first stage might eliminate more than half of the people.

“This is too cruel! Could this be a bluff?”

Some people couldn’t quite believe it.

Usually, only those who considered themselves talented dared to come seek tutelage. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have come all the way to the Tianhe Sect, instead they would have joined some small sect or power, but now, more than half of these “prodigies” were going to be eliminated at the first stage.

No one responded, but everyone became apprehensive.

Only Xu Mu knew that for the Tianhe Sect, having the talent to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage was the absolute minimum. If one couldn’t become a Foundation Establishment, there was simply no point in cultivating them. As for those at Qi Cultivation Stage, if the sect wanted them, they could recruit them in droves at any time.

As for most cultivators, about ninety percent of them would only reach the early or middle stages of Qi Cultivation, like Xu Mu, who was still at the early stage of Qi Cultivation in his sixties. Although it was harsh, it was quite normal in the Cultivation World.

As for these self-proclaimed geniuses, the only ones at a comparable level to Leng Yuening and Si Tan’er were those with a chance to reach Foundation Establishment Stage, but even then, their chances were slim. Furthermore, a huge amount of resources would have to be invested.

For powers at the Foundation Establishment Stage, or even the Golden Core Stage, these people could be considered talents. But for the Tianhe Sect, these people meant nothing.

With the same investment, the Tianhe Sect would indiscriminately decide to cultivate a single Golden Pill cultivator over one hundred Foundation Establishment ones.

In simple terms, the Tianhe Sect pursued an elite strategy. They targeted their recruitment towards Golden Pill cultivators, so the elimination rate was not high at all.

As more and more people got eliminated, everyone became aware of the ruthless nature of the test. Those who managed to board the ship were overwhelmed with joy, some even shedding tears, while those who failed were distraught, pleading for a second chance.

But the disciples of the Tianhe Sect showed no mercy.

Soon, it was the turn of Xu Mu and Qi Yue’s group.

“Brother, I’m a bit nervous, can I hold onto your clothes?”

Qi Yue, his palms sweaty, asked while holding onto Xu Mu’s clothes.

“You’re on the verge of becoming a grand master, and you’re worried about this little test?” Xu Mu laughed.

“Damn it! Brother, don’t joke about this. If I get eliminated, it’ll be so embarrassing!”

Qi Yue said with a grim look on his face.

“Don’t worry, I believe in you.”

Xu Mu comforted him, patting him on the shoulder.

“Brother, do you also see that I am a legendary talent among people?” Qi Yue was surprised.

He was here because when he was in his family, a Loose Cultivator who was passing by inspected him and proclaimed that he was a rare talent, hence the long journey here.

“Not exactly.”

“What do you mean?”

“What I mean is, I believe in you. Even if you get eliminated, you should be able to handle it.”

Is this supposed to be comforting? Or is it not?

After being comforted in a unique way by Xu Mu, Qi Yue loosened up a bit. The two of them stepped onto the stairs together, immediately enveloped by an invisible force.

Qi Yue didn’t feel anything, but Xu Mu could sense it very clearly.

Neither of them were thrown out. They boarded the ship smoothly.

“I succeeded!”

Qi Yue felt a bit weak, but his face was flushed with excitement. He clenched his fists and swung them around.

“See, Brother! I really do have the destiny to become a Nascent Soul elder!” Qi Yue couldn’t help bragging.

He seemed completely unaware that there were already hundreds of people on the ship. If only passing the first stage meant becoming a Nascent Soul elder, then it would have been too easy to become one.

“Well then, I’ll congratulate you in advance!”

“You’re too kind! When I become a Nascent Soul elder, I’ll definitely make you the Sect Master of Tianhe Sect. Ha ha!”

Qi Yue, who had just passed the first stage, quickly resumed his optimistic nature.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Among their group that had passed the stage, except for the girl in pink, the rest were all eliminated.

“That’s really too bad, they were all pretty good, I think.” Qi Yue said regretfully.

They were all chatting happily just a moment ago, even considering going on adventures together after joining the sect.

Now, in the blink of an eye, they were in different worlds. They didn’t need to worry about the future, they knew they were unlikely to meet again.

After the initial selection, only six to seven hundred out of the original four to five thousand boys and girls managed to board the ship.

According to the Tianhe Sect’s calculations, this was already the largest batch in recent decades.

Amid the envy of many youngsters, the ship slowly moved away from the shore, sailing upstream towards the Tianhe Sect.

The Tianhe Sect was hundreds of meters off the ground, with the river sloping nearly sixty degrees upward. Normally, water wouldn’t flow uphill, let alone carry such a large ship upstream. The spectacle was naturally due to the power of the Formation.

The young boys and girls, experiencing this for the first time, couldn’t help gravitating to the ship’s edge to look outside.

The river seemed to be constrained by an invisible channel, flowing upward against the current. At the bottom of the clear water, there were numerous strange aquatic creatures. Except for the abnormal upstream current, the river looked the same as any other.

“Brother Xu, why aren’t you going to have a look? There are many spirit fish in there. I could catch them and roast them for a nice meal!”

Qi Yue licked his lips, feeling greedy.
