He Yijian joyfully pledged eternal loyalty to Tingyu Pavilion and the Immortal Sect after receiving the Sect Leader's promise and Pavilion Master's support. Wen Ping released representatives from 16 five-star influences upon receiving their White Crystals, but announced Shen Jue's death to the Shen Family, leading to their swift annihilation by the Evil Spirit Knight. Amid preparations for the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking, Wen Ping initiated construction of the costly Fifth World for time acceleration and released the third Immortal Daily issue announcing recruitment within ten thousand miles of Star Sword Mountain Range and Azure Abyss Pool.

Beast vehicles from the Endless Knowledge Pavilion shuttle ceaselessly in and out behind shops across every city in the Star Sword Mountain Range and Azure Abyss Pool.

Crate upon crate of Immortal Daily gets transported by these beast vehicles, and shop staff swiftly haul each arriving crate inside without delay.

Before long, almost five hundred thousand copies of Immortal Daily sell out completely.

Shop workers rush to unload more stacks, yet the pace of transporting the newspapers fails to match the furious buying speed.

Endless lines of eager customers form in front of the shops, snapping up copies of the third edition of Immortal Daily.

Even after waiting half an hour, they gladly fork over the coins and snatch their copy of Immortal Daily with thrilled expressions.

This frenzy unfolds at the same time in dozens of cities, including even affiliates of Red Leaf Sect who once opposed Immortal Daily but now join the buying rush.

Unable to compete with Endless Knowledge Pavilion, they line up to purchase the newspaper!

Once folks clutch the fresh issue of Immortal Daily and spot the bold headlines proclaiming Immortal Sect recruitment, they yell excitedly to nearby people without a copy.

On crowded streets, clusters of three or five huddle together, poring over Immortal Daily and gasping in awe as they read.

"Immortal Sect is recruiting!"

"Check out these huge letters!"

"Sect Members are sure to rank in the top 100 of the Red Domain on the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking!"

"Immortal Sect's claim is outrageously bold!"

All are stunned, for promising a top 100 spot on the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking feels wildly over-the-top.

The Red Domain spans immensely.

It boasts billions of inhabitants.

Yearly, the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking draws harsh entry rules, featuring countless once-in-a-century geniuses.

To vow top 100 entry upon joining the Sect is downright jaw-dropping!

This Immortal Sect really knows how to boast big!

As they scan further, the recruitment numbers hit them, sparking even greater shock.

"Eighty people!"

"Immortal Sect aims to take on 80 recruits!"

"That means Immortal Sect wants all 80 to storm into the top 100 of the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking."

Shock waves through the crowds over and over.

Looking back at the past five centuries of Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Rankings, even giants like Red Leaf Sect, Xuan Court Pavilion, and Yin Yang Family could barely secure over 20 disciples in the top 100!

Of course, miracles have happened before.

In the last century's Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking, one such miracle struck.

No less than 23 Yin Yang Family disciples claimed top 100 spots!

It rocked the entire Red Domain!

But Immortal Sect brazenly aims for 80 in the top 100—utterly mind-boggling.

"Is Immortal Sect just bluffing wildly, or do they mean it?"

"Sounds like a total joke."

"80 people guaranteed top 100! Does Immortal Sect run the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking or something?"

Most stay doubtful, then glance lower to the Sect Member requirements.

Under 40 years old!

Naturally, that's merely the baseline.

Over 40-year-olds can't join the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking anyway.

Not a big hurdle.

Second requirement: Half-Step Mountain Suppression Realm suffices!

This stipulation leaves everyone baffled.

What's the deal?

Didn't they promise top 100?

Hitting Half-Step Mountain Suppression Realm before 40 marks one as a genius, sure—but the Red Domain teems with them.

In past Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Rankings, Red Domain's top 100 floor was Lower Realm Mountain Suppression, packed with Middle Realm folks and even some Upper Realm standouts!

That's the real power level of the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking!

Yet Immortal Sect asks only for Half-Step Mountain Suppression.

Seeing this, masses grow utterly perplexed, sensing Immortal Sect is pulling everyone's leg—and not even in a funny way.

...

Baiyue City.

Wen Ping strolls solo down the street, ears catching the buzz around him about Immortal Sect's recruitment drive.

Hearing most dismiss Immortal Sect as joking, Wen Ping shrugs it off—these skeptics don't qualify anyway.

Let them chatter.

Right then, he pulls out the Sound Transmission Stone to reach Chen Xie.

"How's the third issue selling?"

Chen Xie replies amid the hustle, "Sect Leader, Endless Knowledge Pavilion reports from cities show the third issue outpacing the first two wildly. Absolute madness around Azure Abyss Pool. I dispatched folks to print two to three million copies per city at start, but they vanished in an hour. In a giant like Jianshui City with millions of residents, sales might hit ten million copies."

"Impressive." Wen Ping gives approval.

Chen Xie presses on, "Folks crave outside news fiercely—even Heaven-Gazing Gorge locals. With Heaven-Gazing Gorge so huge, most never venture far in life. Sect Leader, riding this wave, we could have every Red Domain soul reading Immortal Daily in half a year!"

Chen Xie's voice surges with thrill here.

If all Red Domain reads Immortal Daily, the world-changing plan's first stride solidifies!

Next: Primordial Yang Domain!

Then the Seven Great Domains!

Finally, whole Heaven-Gazing Gorge!

After his fervent spiel, Chen Xie tones down suddenly, "One thing might irk you, though."

Wen Ping says flatly, "Out with it."

Chen Xie pauses, words measured, "Endless Knowledge Pavilion intel shows Star Sword Mountain Range and Azure Abyss Pool folks doubting the Immortal Sect recruitment announcement."

"Nobody buys it, huh?"

"Some do." Chen Xie gives a wry laugh, as Sect Leader nails the harsh truth he dodged.

Truth be told, he checked it himself, quizzing Immortal Daily readers.

Universal doubt reigns.

They scoff at Immortal Sect's overblown top 100 vow.

Not just doubt—scorn too, branding Immortal Sect clowns, fame-hungry lunatics scamming recruits. Once in, no escape; leaving means Sect betrayal.

Immortal Sect harbors Upper Realm experts.

Spot the trap—who rebels?

These barbs spread with Immortal Daily's buzz, gossip multiplying one-to-ten, ten-to-hundred.

Everyone's in the know!

Then, laughter rings from the Sound Transmission Stone—Wen Ping's. "Ignore the doubters. As long as the real qualifiers believe it. Plenty exist, and they'll pick Immortal Sect for sure."

"Sect Leader, how so?"

Chen Xie puzzles.

Wen Ping clarifies, "Half-Step Mountain Suppression Realm folk won't crack Red Domain top 100 on Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking anyway. Joining Sect risks nothing if top 100 fails—instead, they gain Immortal Sect disciple status. With Upper Realm guardians, its pull is irresistible to them."

Chen Xie nods, getting it.

Wen Ping adds, "Station watchers at the five Master’s Dao Maze—report any stir straight to me."

Chen Xie agrees with a nod.
