“What has it got to do with him?” Lonemoon asked. “He’s not the main lead. Anyway, as you know, the characters in that novel have catastrophic body types – the geniuses that seemed Conan ¹ -possessed. No good will come out of being associated with them, especially the novel’s... Ah, it’s difficult to explain. But that’s why I don’t like that Bai Ze. Most of the trouble that the main lead got into was caused by him. The female lead was also a-”

“Oh.” Good that it was nothing. Shen Ying lost interest in the novel and turned toward the kitchen, “Chef, is the food ready?”

“Yes, Master. It’ll be out in a second,” Yi Qing responded. He carried two plates of seafood and walked out of the kitchen.

Shen Ying immediately picked up her chopsticks, ready to dig in.

“Hey... Let me finish,” Lonemoon pursed his lips. Why did she always stop listening halfway? “Didn’t you bring it up?”

“It smells so good...” Shen Ying gave Yi Qing a thumbs up. The appetite that seemed to have disappeared over the last few months was whetted. Steak rice, steak rice, steak rice! “Father Niu, let’s eat!”

“Eat my foot!” Is this the way you hold a conversation? He had not finished, who would want to...

Hey, that looks really yummy.

Why not...

He was just about to pick up his chopsticks, but Shen Ying reached out and grabbed a big piece of meat for herself. All that was left behind was a bowl of gravy.

“Hey, leave some for me!” There was an entire slab of meat; can’t she leave him a slice? He moved his utensils towards the slab of meat, but Shen Ying suddenly let go of it. The slab of meat dropped back into the bowl and the gravy splattered all over Lonemoon.

“Holy shit, Shen Ying, do you have...” Before he could finish, he raised his head to glance at Shen Ying and found that she was frowning and staring into the sky. “What’s up?”

She hardly ever looked this serious. He subconsciously followed her gaze and saw the blue skies above. “What do you see?”

Shen Ying’s face was blank. After a few seconds, she muttered, “A gate... seems to have opened up there?”

“A gate? What gate?” He looked closely and used his divine perception to scan the sky. “There’s nothing there. Where’s the gate?”

“It’s gone. Forget it. I think I saw something else,” Shen Ying looked back at the table and wiped it out of her mind. She reached for the slab of meat once again and finished it off in two mouthfuls.

Lonemoon was too late. “...” Motherf*cker! This b*tch did it on purpose! She must have!

After what happened with the Immortal Ascension Pagoda, the Invincible Sect’s reputation became on par with the three other aristocratic families. There were countless of cultivators who fought to join the Invincible Sect. The sects were now getting ready for their annual recruitment drive.

Given the Invincible Sect’s current prowess, they no longer had to mobilize all the members to move out to recruit disciples into the sect. Even Lonemoon had no intentions of leaving the sect’s grounds. He outsourced everything to Yu Hong. Yu Hong was the oldest of the nine female cultivators, and she was the most reliable one. When he recruited the female cultivators, she was of the highest cultivation level. Naturally, she was the Senior Sister of the group. Although Si Yu had overtaken her in terms of cultivation after two years, Yu Hong remained the leader of the group.

If Lonemoon was the manager of the Invincible Sect, Yu Hong can be considered his secretary. Whatever Lonemoon had no time to handle would be managed by Yu Hong. Therefore, it was only right to put Yu Hong in charge of the recruitment. Lonemoon’s mind would be set at ease this way.

Yu Hong was responsible. She brought the other eight female cultivators out of the Demon Realm and instructed them to head to different immortal towns. They were to recruit worthy disciples from these different towns – Invincible Sect was not limiting themselves to the Upper Azure Town. Within less than six months, the group proudly returned with new disciples.

There were a lot of them – the group of new disciples contained hundreds of people. They were dressed in a multitude of colors and their cultivation levels ranged from the Qi Refinement realm to the Nascent Soul realm. Each of them were of different body types but all of them looked equally strong – one can practically see the outline of their muscles which threatened to burst their sleeves.

Lonemoon: “...”

These are... the new... disciples?

-_-|||

Flips table!

Why do I suddenly feel like I’m in a market? Why are all of them iron barbies? They’re all females! He had already said he only wanted them to look at people’s spirit roots so he could pick those whom he wanted to recruit later on. How was he going to lead people to become quality sword cultivators now? None of them looked like sword cultivators!

Do you all have a misunderstanding about the way our sect is run?

“Yu... Hong,” he frowned as he pulled a red-clothed girl aside. “Are these... the best of the people you’ve met?”

“That’s right!” Yu Hong nodded excitedly, “Don’t worry, Elder, Si Yu has tested each of them and they’re all talented.”

Talented my foot! All he sees are muscles!

“What about sword cultivators?” You let Si Yu pick out all the barbie cultivators. If her way of testing picks out the sword cultivators, then she wins!

“Sword...” Yu Hong’s face fell.

“...” You forgot right? You definitely forgot.

凸(艹皿艹)

“But... Elder, aren’t we a sect of body cultivators?”

“Who said we’re a sect of body cultivators!” You chose to turn into body cultivators yourselves, right?

“But everyone is already here...” Yu Hong looked like she was being put in a spot. She explained herself, but her gaze landed on someone and brightened, “Sect Master!”

She left Lonemoon behind and ran toward the group, announcing, “My fellow sisters, this is the Sect Master of Invincible Sect whom I have been telling you about. She is the strongest cultivator of the Upper Azure World.”

The crowd seemed to explode. Hundreds of pairs of eyes fixed on Shen Ying. Together, they greeted her, “Greetings, Sect Master!”

Their united voices resonated within the hall.

The person carrying a pail of water, prepared to water Radish: “...”

Why are there so many people here all of a sudden?

“Hi... everybody,” Shen Ying waved apprehensively.

Everybody’s eyes brightened, and they responded together, “How are you, Sect Master?”

“Er, you’ve all been working hard,” she said in reply.

Everybody hesitated. A voice sounded out from the crowd, “For Invincible Sect!” Everyone echoed, “For Invincible Sect!”

Their voices were loud – some of them even used their Spirit Qi to shout. The walls of the hall seemed to vibrate.

Lonemoon: “...” Motherf*cker! Is this an army?

This wasn’t a recruitment drive. They are forming a freaking cult! They’ve brought a bunch of retards back!

His heart felt exhausted.

Lonemoon did not like the new disciples; he detested them. His heart was incredibly troubled over the future of the sect. He did not want them to become a sect of body cultivators. But If he accepted these disciples into the sect, there would be no hope for Invincible Sect to change its path.

He scanned each of their qualifications. Other than one or two of them who did not have good spirit roots, the rest of their spirit roots were... not bad. The sisters picked carefully. They just went off-tangent in their selection process.

Lonemoon had no choice but to accept them into the sect. In the end, he only sent a few Nascent Soul cultivators home. It was not that they had poor qualifications, but Nascent Soul cultivators can already be guest elders in the sect. There was no need for them to join as disciples. Invincible Sect had only been established awhile ago – they really did not need to recruit guest elders just yet.

He looked around at the new disciples of Invincible Sect. Looking at each of their excited expressions made Lonemoon worry for the future of the sect. Quickly, he set aside his worries and found that he had a breakthrough in his cultivation level. He was now a perfected Soul Formation cultivator. He had an irrepressible force about him.

He had a chance... to achieve Immortal Ascension!
