Chen Wei shuddered, as if the figure before him were a god of death, not a man.
Finally, he gathered his courage and stood up.
Qingyi was powerful, of course, but he wasn't exactly an unrivaled expert in those lands, not at his level of cultivation.
"The Chen family will not forget your help, Senior Brother... I am Chen Wei, may I know your na?" Chen Wei bowed respectfully.
"Long Qingyi." Qingyi replied, gesturing for him to stand up.
With a wave of Qingyi's hand, the blood covering his body was swept away, and a fresh set of clean clothes covered him.
"Ah... so you're Senior Brother Qingyi. Thank you so much for saving our lives!" Chen Wei declared with genuine gratitude.
"It's nothing. Now, can you tell where I am?" Qingyi asked, stretching.
"Oh... about that, can I tell you while we walk? I'm almost late for sothing important, the Cosmic Dawn Sect's disciple selection."
Qingyi nodded with interest, and together they quickened their pace. During the journey, Chen Wei told him everything he knew.
They were in the world of the fallen moon, a small planet in an isolated planetary system in the northernmost regions of the celestial plane.
The Chen family and the Luo family, both insignificant powers even in that world, dread of the day when they could have one of their mbers as a disciple in the Cosmic Dawn Sect.
A path to glory.
That was why the Luo family's henchn attacked Chen Wei and his
servant.
In the mortal heavens, sects held great power, power that, in the immortal heavens, was concentrated in the hands of great empires. Even so, none of these great empires or sects could even imagine ruling an entire world.
But from what Chen Wei described, the Cosmic Dawn Sect ruled a entire star systems.
Since each star system had at least four stars, the sect's territory encompassed four stars and more than fifteen planets, five of which were inhabited.
And yet, it was rely a small and insignificant faction among the orthodox sects that ruled the celestial realm.
It had great formation masters and powerful elders, but its combat power was waning day by day, unable to produce a disciple strong enough to compete for resources with neighboring sects.
It was for this reason that the sect opened its recruitnt process, accepting anyone willing to try their luck in the tests of talent and power.
Generally, they would only accept nobles from great houses, but the need for great talents changed everything.
From commoners to bandits.
Everyone rushed toward the recruitnt centers established by the
sect.
Hearing that story, Qingyi sighed and opened his status screen.
Imdiately, his face filled with bewildernt.
What had happened to his lust points?

'System... what the hell is a G lust point?" Qingyi asked, confused.
[Golden Lust points. Only with G lust points can you purchase items from the Celestial Sky. All your regular lust points have been automatically converted into G lust points.]
Receiving that response from the system, Qingyi could only sigh in
defeat, gazing toward the horizon, where thousands of auras were
gathering.
"Senior Brother Qingyi, we're almost there," Chen Wei said,
quickening his pace.
Soon, the three arrived at a clearing surrounded by countless youths
of different backgrounds, from rchants to beggars.
The only requirent was to have an awakened Dantian, so the
masses had gathered, more than ten thousand crowded together
right there.
The place was noisy, with a few scuffles over spots up front breaking out in the middle of the crowd.
Everyone wanted to catch a glimpse of the entrance to the hidden moonlight secret realm, guarded by ten disciples and an elder. The disciples' uniforms bore star symbols on their chests, three on
each, symbolizing that they were inner disciples.
The elder, on the other hand, had six stars on his chest.
He was an ordinary-looking old man with a long white beard and
steady eyes.
"Silence," the elder said, his voice low and hoarse.
Everyone fell silent imdiately.
'I can't see through any of their cultivation...' Qingyi thought, his eyes
scanning the disciples and the elder with curiosity.
When he activated his draconic eyes, he saw a Qi so powerful it
forced him to look away.
In fact, he was back at the bottom of the food chain. 'Luckily, I can only go back up, right?' Qingyi's lips curved.
"Is Senior Brother Qingyi going to participate in the selection? I recomnd it... a talent like yours will surely be appreciated." Chen
Wei whispered beside him.
Qingyi nodded.
He was far too weak and needed both far more lust points and a
better understanding of his position within the Celestial Heaven, since Chen Wei knew very little about the overall situation there.
Qingyi himself knew only Qianyao's father, a peak-level existence at the very center of the Celestial Heaven's power.
If he could find him, his ascent would be as easy as cutting through
butter.
Unfortunately, he had no ans of contact, so he had to take the hard road.
"Everyone is here for a single reason." The old elder stood up, his body rising into the air as a powerful aura descended upon everyone there. "To beco the spearhead. Respectful disciples of the Cosmic Dawn Sect, young heroes who will one day beco the future of the sect."
He waved his hand, and the entrance to the hidden moonlight secret realm opened.
It looked like a cave with a dark interior, but with the elder's wave, its interior lit up, like a portal to another plane.
[NT: In this universe, "star system" does not follow the actual astronomical definition. It is rely a territorial and political division used by the sects and empires of the celestial sky.]
