On the second day of the second month, it was recruitment time.

The colossal airship slowly descended near the Seek Dao Sect, and countless young talents bounded out, excitedly gazing at the continuous stretch of mountains in the distance.

"There lies the legendary gate of the Seek Dao Sect!"

"Who knows how many will pass the test this time."

"It’s said that less than one percent made it into the Seek Dao Sect last session."

"That’s so low. I heard that both the Prison Suppressing Sect and the Five Elements Sect don’t have such extreme acceptance rates."

"Not only that, I’ve also heard that those who were filtered out either entered a super-grade sect or a first-grade sect, with only a few entering a second-grade sect."

"You see, even those who weren’t selected last time are considered promising seeds to other top sects."

"Young master, don’t forget the Clan Leader’s admonition; joining the Seek Dao Sect must not be forced."

Most of the young geniuses were accompanied by family elders. Whether they could join the Seek Dao Sect would decide their future paths. Without family elders, it was easy to lose confidence amid endless self-doubt before the test began and defeat oneself without a fight.

Of course, there were also those who came alone, like Lu Yang, who didn’t even know what a Spirit Root was last session and still tried his luck, or Meng Jingzhou, who had run away from home.

A handsome young man with a cold expression walked down from the flying ship, each step he took measured, with a long and sustained breath indicating he possessed martial skills.

The cold and detached young man looked towards the Seek Dao Sect not far away, with a hint of a mysterious smile curling at his lips.

"I hope the Seek Dao Sect can bring me some surprises."

"Fellow daoist, did you come by yourself?" a voice called out to the young man, who turned his head to see two youths around his own age, one with a shy smile and the other with a serious expression.

The one speaking was the youth with the shy smile.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Qi Tong, and this is Fang Ya. We two are also here to take the tests of the Seek Dao Sect. It seems you have the same goal as us. How about joining us?"

The young man with the cold expression gave a snort, "Who are you to call me ’fellow daoist’? My name is Gu Junye, the reincarnation of the Master of All Laws."

"Master of All Laws?" The youth with the shy smile was taken aback. The Master of All Laws was a celebrated and powerful Great Cultivator.

The Master of All Laws, a figure from the early period of the Great Yu Dynasty, had a natural affinity for magic skills and could quickly master any he attempted, almost as talented as an Immortal.

He reached Foundation Establishment at seventeen, Golden Core at eighteen, Nascent Soul at nineteen... His cultivation speed surpassed all other talented cultivators, reaching the Transcendance Tribulation Stage in record time, a historic feat.

He was known to say, "All magic skills are in my heart," which is why he was titled the Master of All Laws.

In the era of Daoist Xiantian, to praise a genius, one would say they had "the potential of the Master of All Laws."

What was the Master of All Laws doing here?

What is reincarnation? Was it a Great Divine Skill that the Master of All Laws had comprehended?

Qi Tong looked at Gu Junye with surprise and uncertainty, not expecting to encounter such legendary figures outside of Captive Peak.

The Vast Sea Daoist Lord slightly frowned, his gaze on Gu Junye wary. Was the other party the reincarnation of the Master of All Laws? Could it be that the Jiuyou Sect was created by the Master of All Laws?

"However, meeting here must mean that we three are fated. Follow me to the Seek Dao Sect," said Gu Junye as he walked towards the sect, signaling Daoist Xiantian and the Vast Sea Daoist Lord to follow.

"Ancestor, wouldn’t it be better if we waited at the gate rather than coming down from the flying ship?" the Vast Sea Daoist Lord sent a telepathic message, thinking it too troublesome.

Daoist Xiantian, who couldn’t send telepathic messages, spoke softly, "We must not miss any detail in our disguises. What if someone notices that we came out of the Seek Dao Sect? Wouldn’t our cover be blown then?"

The Vast Sea Daoist Lord felt the ancestor was overthinking things, but since it was the ancestor’s plan, he didn’t feel it appropriate to comment.

The crowd gathered at the Dao Seeking Sect like a tide, with several times more mortals coming to participate in the selection than the previous session.

All of this could be attributed to the widely popular storytelling "Legend of the Dao Seeking Sect" that had attracted many mortals who admired the sect.

Gu Junye and two others mingled in the crowd, inconspicuous.

Meanwhile, a carriage slowly passed by them.

On the carriage, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were muttering.

"Why has no one come to sit on our carriage?"

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou remembered that on this day three years ago, the Eldest Senior Sister got on the carriage, claiming she, too, was there for the entrance examination.

Meng Jingzhou, unaware of his impending embarrassment, boasted about knowing the exam questions; but when they arrived at the sect’s gate, the Eldest Senior Sister got off, flew into the air, and announced she was the chief examiner for that year’s test.

How impressive.

They also wanted to randomly invite someone onto their carriage and then claim they were there for the entrance examination, replicating Eldest Senior Sister’s experience.

Unfortunately, they never found the opportunity.

"Shall we have Old Ma make another round?" suggested Meng Jingzhou, after having Old Ma circle near the Dao Seeking Sect several times already.

Lu Yang shook his head, "Forget it, let’s get off. It’s almost time, and don’t forget we need to organize the examination."

The higher-ups of the Dao Seeking Sect, intending to train their disciples, had the sect’s disciples organize both this and the last entrance examination. The organizer last time was the Eldest Senior Sister, and this time it was Dai Bufan.

Dai Bufan felt that with him in charge, nothing could go wrong, so he let Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou become one of the organizers.

Elsewhere, Daoist Xiantian was making friends all around.

"Fellow Daoist, you’re also here for the examination, aren’t you? My name is Qi Tongtian, what’s yours?"

The man took offense at being called a "Fellow Daoist" by Daoist Xiantian.

He snorted coldly and said nothing more.

Any Tom, Dick or Harry thinks they can address me as a Fellow Daoist.

If not for Emperor Yu’s treasure, who would come to such a place?

They considered that even with the Dao Seeking Sect’s defenses relaxed during the recruitment, a hasty attack by their Great Yu Alliance might still be resisted, leading to the activation of the Sect Protection Array and holding off until Dynasty reinforcements arrived.

Such a scenario would mean a failure of their plan and an increased difficulty in acquiring Emperor Yu’s treasure next time.

Therefore, leading by example, he disguised himself as a mortal and participated in the entrance examination.

Joining him in the examination were several of his trusted subordinates.

Not far away, cultivators from the Great Yu Alliance were lying in wait, ready to strike inside and out at his command, to abruptly attack and defeat the Dao Seeking Sect!

At first, his subordinates thought the Alliance Hierarch was overreacting. To deal with the mere Dao Seeking Sect, why go through such trouble?

But when they saw a Body Integration Realm old horse disguised as a common horse, continuously circling around the Dao Seeking Sect, they realized the sect was not as simple as it appeared.

This old horse was clearly a great demon king belonging to the Dao Seeking Sect, patrolling secretly and looking for suspicious characters!

The subordinates communicated secretly with their Spiritual Sense; they were at Pass Tribulation stage and were not afraid of being detected by the Dao Seeking Sect’s people.

"The master is truly the master, always so thorough in his considerations."

"Of course, the master is none other than the famous Master of All Laws, a name that has resonated through the ages!"
