Who wants to learn sewing skills while dating?

"Thank you sir for helping bury my family."

"It's just a small favor. What are your plans next?"

"Grow up quickly."

"Will you come with me?"

"where to?"

"My sect."

"What is a sect?"

"It's the place for those who cultivate immortality."

"Can I also become an immortal cultivator?"

"of course."

"Can I come here again in the future?"

"This place is where the secular world and the cultivation world meet. Once you can pass through the barrier between the two worlds, you can come back."

"How long will it take?"

"About twenty years." Mo Heng shortened the time so that the child would have something to look forward to.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Chu Jun took one last look at the tombstone before being picked up by Mo Heng.

On the way, Mo Heng suddenly remembered that he didn't know the child's name: "What's your name?"

“Introduce yourself before asking someone else’s name.”

"My name is Mo Heng, what about you, young master?"

"My name is Chu Yun, I'm two years old. How old is Mr. Mo?"

The gentleman said nothing, as if speaking out would be an admission that he was old.

The two fell silent. Mo Heng carried Chu Yun through the barrier between the two worlds and returned to Wuji Sect.

In the Wuji Sect, Mo Heng took Chu Yun's health into consideration and did not use teleportation, but flew back to Tianyu Peak on his sword.

Therefore, the news that Venerable Mo Heng brought a child into Tianyu Peak quickly spread throughout the sect.

"Have you heard that Grandmaster Mo Heng brought a child back and let him live in Tianyu Peak?"

"Tianyu Peak has been closed for thousands of years, even the headmaster has been barred from entering."

"That child looks only two or three years old, yet he's so highly regarded by our Grandmaster. I wonder what's so special about him."

"Master has been a Mahayana master for over two thousand years and has never accepted a disciple. Could it be that he has accepted a disciple?"

"No way! Those disciples who came here to see the Master must be pissed to death. Thousands of them have come and gone, but the Master never even glanced at them, and now a kid has gotten there first."

"That child is so lucky, he's favored by the master, so he doesn't have to worry about cultivation resources anymore, ah."

Everyone envied the child for being able to win the Master's favor even before his spiritual roots were determined. You know, Master Mo Heng had never accepted a disciple since he joined the sect, no matter how talented the child was, he never considered taking one in.

Over the past few thousand years, many talented independent cultivators wanted to come to the Wuji Sect and become Mo Heng's disciples, but they were all rejected.

Countless pairs of eyes were focused on Tianyu Peak, extremely curious about the child.

But unfortunately, Chu Jun hadn't come out since then. Master Mo Heng had never received outsiders in the past thousand years, and no one dared to spy on Master Mo Heng's territory. Helplessly, he could only wait for the child to come out of the mountains to see him.

This year, the flowers on Tianyu Peak bloomed again, and Chu Jun was five years old.

Because of the sect's rules, only after passing the initiation ceremony can one be truly recognized as a disciple of the Wuji Sect. Therefore, Chu Yun had to pass the assessment and participate in the initiation ceremony together with the other disciples participating in the disciple-recruiting ceremony this year.

The so-called assessment is to let children between the ages of five and ten who have not yet had spiritual energy enter their bodies climb the ten thousand steps from the sect gate to the sect hall. If they can climb up, they will be considered to have passed the first level of the assessment and be qualified to test their spiritual roots.

To test the spiritual roots, one needs to bring out the spiritual treasure and conduct the test in the sect's main hall.

At that time, the headmaster and all the elders will be present. Firstly, to select good seedlings with good eyesight and talent, and secondly, to supervise and prevent malicious incidents such as cheating and forgery.

The Wuji Sect recruits disciples from both the world of cultivation and the secular world. Every year, the Wuji Sect sends a team to the secular world to select qualified disciples and bring them back to the world of cultivation.

It's like when Mo Heng brought Chu Jun back to Tianyu Peak. Back then, Mo Heng had only left Tianyu Peak, where he hadn't left for a thousand years, after a sudden intuition that he would find something in the secular world. He searched in the secular world for two full years until he met Chu Jun.

The moment Mo Heng saw Chu Yun, he knew he was destined to be with the immortals. Most importantly, he couldn't help but feel fond of him, and eventually took him back to his own residence.

Today, the barrier of Tianyu Peak finally opened. Chu Jun left the mountain for the first time in three years, full of anticipation for a new life.

Chu Jun was led by Mo Heng to the main gate of the Wuji Sect. Forged from a single block of black iron, its surface, weathered by tens of thousands of years, remained impenetrable, radiating a faint, cold glow. The Qilin pattern carved into the gate exuded an invisible aura of power, shocking those who stood before it. It was said that this pattern was personally carved by the sect's founder.

Behind the door is a wide square full of people. Further in is the ten thousand steps high staircase and the sect hall.

The Wuji Sect’s disciple-recruiting ceremony is held every five years, recruiting children aged five to ten, so there were quite a few children who were almost ten years old at the scene.

The world of cultivation and the secular world have a large population. There are hundreds of thousands of people who come to participate in the disciple-recruiting ceremony. There are good and bad people, and the quality is also uneven.

The Wuji Sect only accepts children with three spiritual roots or above. Those with three spiritual roots can enter the outer sect as menial disciples, those with two spiritual roots can enter the inner sect and have the opportunity to be accepted as disciples by Jindan and Yuanying cultivators, and those with a single spiritual root, chosen from among thousands, will naturally be valued by the elders in the Shenhua stage and accepted as disciples for training, so as not to waste their qualifications.

Of course, the sect will not treat unfairly those children with four or five spiritual roots who are brought from the secular world into the world of cultivation.

The sect will consult with them. If they wish to return, they are welcome, but their memories must be erased. If they wish to remain in the world of cultivation, they can be adopted by locals in towns under the sect's jurisdiction and cultivate on their own. The concentration of spiritual energy in the world of cultivation is far greater than that in the mortal world. Even if they stop at cultivating Qi throughout their lives, they are no longer mortals. It's up to them to make their own choice; the sect won't interfere.

As for the disciples of the immortal cultivation families, those with four or five spiritual roots were destined to serve only as supporting members of the main family. In smaller families, the elders might even offer some support. This was the pros and cons of being born into the world of cultivation.

In another quarter of an hour, it would be time for the disciples to take the test. Mo Heng was like an ordinary parent who was worried about his child. He normally wouldn't say a few words to outsiders, but now he was nagging and instructing his child, which surprised those around him who recognized him, but no one dared to discuss it under the nose of Venerable Mo Heng.

Chu Jun thought of himself as a grown-up boy, so he didn't ask Mo Heng to hold him. Instead, he held his hand and walked with his short legs to the ten thousand-step ladder, waiting for the test to begin.

The assessment of the Ten Thousand Steps Ladder is not just about climbing the stairs. There are illusion arrays at every step. Therefore, the difficulty of the assessment lies in whether you have the perseverance and determination to reach the top, and it requires people with upright minds and determination.

The ten thousand-step staircase is very easy for cultivators to climb and can be completed in a quarter of an hour, but for these children it takes half a day.

Chu Yun was only five years old, with a chubby face and big, twinkling eyes. Her little face was so cute that everyone loved her.

Chu Jun, who had short arms and legs, looked up at Mo Heng and said, "Master, I'm leaving."

As he said this, he clenched his little fists to cheer himself up. He looked so adorable that it touched the hearts of many parents around him.

Over the years, Mo Heng had personally taken care of Chu Yun's daily life, treating him like his own child. He couldn't even say a harsh word to him on a normal day, and even when he was practicing hard, he felt deeply distressed, doting on him. If Chu Yun hadn't had a mature soul, he would have been raised astray by Mo Heng's methods.

"Then Xiaojun, you have to protect yourself, okay? It doesn't matter if you can't climb up. Master will help Xiaojun through the back door." Mo Heng continued to "lead astray" Chu Jun.

"I don't want to. Only bad kids go through the back door. Master, don't worry, I will be there soon. Just wait for me upstairs."

"Yes, our Xiaojun is the best. Then Master, please watch Xiaojun go up."

"Yes! Goodbye, Master!"
