Chapter 861: Chapter 862: The Ye Siblings
Chu Fengmian followed the mories of his previous life and flew toward the Ancient Desolate Sect.
Along the way, Chu Fengmian encountered many martial artists heading in the sa direction.
It was clear that these martial artists also intended to go to the Ancient Desolate Sect.
Chu Fengmian wasn’t surprised by this. The Ancient Desolate Sect, as one of the Seven Sects, was well-known across the Nine Domains. Hardly any martial artist hadn’t heard of its na.
For countless martial artists in the Nine Domains, joining the Seven Sects was a dream co true.
Many capable martial artists would head to the Ancient Desolate Sect, hoping to try their luck and beco disciples.
After all, becoming a disciple of the Ancient Desolate Sect ant soaring to great heights. Any sect’s disciple from the Seven Sects was soone that nearly every powerful figure in the Nine Domains would want to flatter and befriend, possessing a high status.
But not many disciples could truly pass the sect’s examinations, as the Seven Sects demand perfection.
Nevertheless, the fa and resources within these Seven Sects continue to attract nurous martial artists.
Along the way, Chu Fengmian encountered at least tens of thousands of martial artists, which was just the tip of the iceberg.
Every year during the examination of the Ancient Desolate Sect, millions, even tens of millions, of martial artists co to participate, yet only a few thousand might pass.
It’s a one in ten thousand chance, even more brutal than the Beimang Academy examination, which is a one in a hundred chance.
However, the Beimang Academy examination requires a quota, which has already filtered out so martial artists, while the Ancient Desolate Sect examination doesn’t require a quota.
Any sect disciple of the Seven Sects can go to participate in the examination.
“This should be near Ancient City, right?”
Chu Fengmian looked at the enormous city before him and thought to himself. This city was hundreds, even thousands, of tis larger than Ningzhou Ancient City.
This is where the Ancient Desolate Sect is located, Ancient City.
In the entire Nine Domains, it counts as one of the largest cities, as behind Ancient City is the Ancient Desolate Sect, one of the Seven Sects.
In the city, almost any martial artist walking around casually is considered a pretty talented genius. The place was lively, with so traveling together.
Chu Fengmian was visiting Ancient City for the first ti. Upon entering, he went to a nearby tea house.
On the second floor, he chose a spot by the window and sat down.
Chu Fengmian only knew that there was a Divine Tree within the Ancient Desolate Sect, but he didn’t know its exact location or how to obtain the Jade Dew Holy Fruit.
He needed to gather information before taking any actions; otherwise, if he failed, it would be infinitely harder for Chu Fengmian to blend in and obtain the Jade Dew Holy Fruit.
This ti, Chu Fengmian planned to infiltrate the Ancient Desolate Sect, and the sect’s experts likely wouldn’t suspect anything, making it easier for Chu Fengmian.
But once he was exposed, the Ancient Desolate Sect would definitely be more vigilant, making it much more difficult for Chu Fengmian.
There is only one chance, and Chu Fengmian must seize it.
“The Ancient Desolate Sect rose to prominence over ten thousand years, and Ancient City has reached such prosperity.”
Chu Fengmian sighed as he observed out the window.
Ancient City has gradually beco prosperous due to the rise of the Ancient Desolate Sect.
It’s safe to say that the martial artists who ca each year to join the Ancient Desolate Sect were enough to support the city’s prosperity.
The inn Chu Fengmian was in quickly filled up, with no seating left.
“Sir, if you don’t mind, may we join you for a while?”
As Chu Fengmian gazed out at Ancient City’s scenery, a gentle and refined voice suddenly spoke by his ear.
Chu Fengmian turned his head and saw a handso young man who had spoken.
A young woman stood nearby, looking slightly younger than the man; their resemblance suggested they were siblings.
“Please, have a seat.”
Chu Fengmian nodded.
The tea house was already full, so it was normal for soone to ask to share a table since Chu Fengmian was alone.
“Thank you, sir.”
The young man nodded and thanked Chu Fengmian.
They sat across from Chu Fengmian, eting his gaze.
Both their strengths were around the peak of life-and-death realm, very close to the power Chu Fengmian displayed. At their age, having such strength ant they ca from impressive backgrounds.
“I am Ye Zhan, and this is my younger sister Ye Ya. May I ask how to address you?”
Ye Zhan took a sip of tea and slowly spoke to Chu Fengmian.
“Chu Bai.”
Chu Fengmian casually replied.
His previous na was Chu Jianbai, and now he simply removed “Jian,” becoming Chu Bai.
Chu is a common surna in the Nine Domains, so even the Ancient Desolate Sect disciples wouldn’t suspect anything upon hearing Chu Fengmian’s na.
“Chu Bai?”
Ye Zhan repeated the na, then pondered and spoke slowly.
“Seems like Brother Chu isn’t a martial artist from the Central Domain.”
“Oh? How do you know?”
Chu Fengmian casually asked.
“Just a guess, if such a person as Brother Chu were in the Central Domain, he wouldn’t be unknown.”
Ye Zhan said with a smile.
“Indeed, I’m from the Western Domain.”
Chu Fengmian nodded.
A martial artist at the peak of life-and-death realm is unlikely to be unknown, especially considering Chu Fengmian’s age, marking him as a genius in his own right.
Even though he might not be dazzling, he couldn’t be faceless, which is why Chu Fengmian had prepared his identity from the start.
“From the Western Domain, it seems Brother Chu has co a long way, also for the Divine Tree trial this ti, right?”
Divine Tree trial?
Hearing this term, Chu Fengmian felt sowhat surprised, as it was the first ti he had heard of this.
But it seed, looking at these Ye siblings, they had co because of the Divine Tree trial, otherwise, they wouldn’t have used “also” in their sentence.
“Indeed.”
Chu Fengmian nodded discreetly, then suddenly asked.
“I originally ca to the Central Domain for training. When I heard about the Divine Tree trial near Ancient City, I ca to take a look. However, I know little about it. Could Brother Ye explain?”
Chu Fengmian initially thought these martial artists ca to join the Ancient Desolate Sect and attend its examination.
But now it seed there might be another reason, which was the Divine Tree trial ntioned by Ye Zhan.
