The Tongtian Sect begins its selection process, with hundreds of children vying for a chance to cultivate immortality. While many are disqualified for lacking spiritual roots, a few, including Li Chenyang, show promise. Li Chenyang passes the initial test, securing a spot in the next stage. However, his grandfather Li Maolin seems troubled despite his son's elation.

Not long after, the group arrived at the Ascension Mountain Range.

Even at the outer edge, just by looking up, one could see a towering and grand mountain peak reaching into the clouds.

The surrounding mountains could not compare, unable to hide its presence, shrouded in white mist, exuding immortal aura, giving off a mysterious feeling.

The children saw such a tall mountain for the first time, unable to hold back their exclamations of astonishment, their faces filled with longing as they imagined the beautiful prospects of cultivating in this Spirit Mountain.

However, among these dozens of children, the number who could successfully be admitted into the Tongtian Sect might not exceed the count of one hand!

It was unfortunate they were born at the wrong time, for if it were the early days of the Tongtian Sect, they would have had a much higher chance of becoming disciples.

Unfortunately, the Tongtian Sect grew too rapidly; now its traditions are orderly, not lacking disciples, naturally making the requirements much stricter than before.

“In Ascension Mountain, flying at high altitudes is prohibited, except for seniors at the Realm of Human Immortality and above, or for the Spiritual Boat during disciple admissions.”

One disciple laughed, saying, “So we are also benefiting from your luck.”

Otherwise, given their cultivation, they wouldn’t qualify to fly at high altitudes within the Mountain Gate; this might be one of their rare opportunities in their lifetime.

“Don’t be fooled by the sect’s seemingly complex and extensive rules; these regulations are not only restrictions but also a form of protection. If you are fortunate enough to enter the sect, be sure to memorize them seriously and carefully!”

The group of children were bewildered, unable to grasp the meaning of these words, only Li Chenyang and another oldest, shabbily dressed child showed thoughtful expressions.

As they spoke, the group arrived before Ascension Mountain.

When they disembarked from the Spirit Boat and looked up at the Spirit Mountain before them, it caused another profound impact on their minds, making them deeply aware of their own insignificance.

“We’re here!”

The leading disciple took a glance around and said, “Currently, there are less than three thousand children participating in the test. You can rest nearby, recover a bit, but don’t wander far, as you might take the test at any time.”

“Got it.” The children’s scattered responses rang out.

Because they were close and the children testing their Spiritual Roots weren’t too numerous yet, they were part of the earliest group to return.

Only one or two hundred children arrived before them, still far from meeting the required number for the test.

Every complete activation and initiation of the Immortal Ascension Array consumes a vast amount of Spiritual Energy, requiring some precious Spiritual Objects as well.

Therefore, only when the number of test participants reaches three thousand will the Great Array be opened.

During other times, gathering such a large number of test-participating children in a short period is difficult, so to reduce consumption, the formation can only be initiated at a lower degree.

Of course, the formation’s necessary functions and effects can still be fully exerted.

While waiting for more test participants to arrive, Li Chenyang did not wander around but stood in place, using his eyes to observe the nearby scenery.

He didn’t know why, but after entering the Tongtian Sect’s grounds, a feeling of familiarity yet strangeness arose within him.

It was as if he had visited the Tongtian Sect before, but due to the great passage of time and changes around him, he felt unfamiliar.

Moreover, Li Chenyang always felt someone was secretly watching him, but no matter how he searched, he couldn’t find the source, making him suspect that it might be his imagination.

In truth, it wasn’t an illusion; someone was indeed watching him!

But if spoken of, others might not believe it, because that person was none other than the current Tongtian Sect Leader, Li Zhirui!

At the moment Li Chenyang stepped into the Ascension Mountain Range, Li Zhirui, who was refining Pills in his Cave Mansion, sensed it.

He knew the reincarnated one he had been waiting for years had finally arrived at the Tongtian Sect!

He then remembered it was the day of the Tongtian Sect’s fifty-year grand opening of the Mountain Gate, so he immediately focused on the children waiting to participate in the entrance test.

Additionally, the number of children at that time wasn’t many, allowing Li Zhirui to quickly identify the reincarnated one’s identity.

However, since their identity information hadn’t yet been entered into the sect’s archives, he didn’t know anything about the other’s background or qualifications.

“Has he noticed I’m watching him?”

Li Zhirui observed Li Chenyang’s eyes flicker with suspicion, his entire body tensing, cautiously scanning around, as if trying to find the person behind it.

“Should I say, it’s truly worthy of being the reincarnation of a former Golden Immortal? Even without starting cultivation, his Spirit Sense is remarkably high!”

Although Li Zhirui didn’t conceal his gaze, as a Mystic Immortal Cultivator, remote observation of a mortal child, the disparity between them was incredibly vast; yet, it could be detected by him, no one would believe it when told.

However, he slightly concealed himself afterward, making the other unable to feel the sensation of being watched.

Li Zhirui did not retract his focus due to this; although the reincarnation of a Golden Immortal is certainly special and likely to pass the entrance test.

But there’s always a chance, and Li Zhirui must ensure this person successfully enters the Tongtian Sect, even if it means intervening in the fairness and justice of the Immortal Ascension Array.
