Chapter 1315: Chapter 1179: Divine Sect Recruitment Chapter 1315: Chapter 1179: Divine Sect Recruitment Xu Daofeng wanted to introduce Chu Mu to Chief Officer Lu. Indeed, the independence of a territory, no matter where it was placed, was a significant matter. Regardless of the size of the territory, once independent, it implicated the dignity and POSITION of Cloud Realmâs rulers. Especially in a region that was already unstable, if someone spearheaded independence, it could likely trigger a territorial uprising, something the rulers definitely did not want to see.
Xu Daofeng also told Chu Mu that while the existence of territorial independence was recognized, the first one to achieve independence would absolutely become the target of all rulers, who would spare no effort to crush it. They could not allow such a leader to emerge, seeking to squelch any nascent desires for independence among others through the example made of the first.
âThe first one to declare independence will face nothing less than the entire Cloud Realm, and moreover, Cloud Realm is in a relatively stable period now. The ruler must also decisively ensure that no exceptions occur within the Cloud Realm. Therefore, you should understand that once we apply for territorial independence from Divine Sect, you and your New Moon Land will become enemies of the entire Cloud Realm,â Xu Daofeng explained the gravity of the situation to Chu Mu.
Xu Daofeng wished to dissuade Chu Mu from the idea of independence when introducing him to the Chief Officer.
âDonât worry, I wonât apply for independence yet,â Chu Mu said.
With his current lack of strength, Chu Mu wouldnât make any rash decisions.
Xu Daofeng gave a rueful smile, realizing that the madman hadnât taken in a word of the dire warnings he had just spoken.
This wasnât about when to declare independence, but whether it was possible to do so at all!
Cloud Realm was a Level Seven Territory, not to mention the Protector Generals, Boundary Commanders, and City Masters who were powerhouses in their own right. Just the forces under Li Xu alone were unimaginably powerful; Chu Mu might not even be able to withstand them, let alone face intervention from a Boundary Commander.
Throughout the journey, Xu Daofeng couldnât convince Chu Mu, and ultimately, he could only resign himself to introducing him to his own teacher.
Once they arrived at their residence, Chu Mu noticed a significantly larger crowd than before.
âItâs our Divine Sectâs recruitment. Apart from us chosen ones, every three years, our Divine Sect conducts a recruitment ceremony open to all young strong ones, selecting a few to join us initiates in the assessments. Those who pass will be listed as candidates, and over a period of three years, we observe their character, talent, potential, and background before they might finally become true members of Divine Sect,â Xu Daofeng explained to Chu Mu.
âAre there any specific requirements to participate?â Chu Mu asked.
âYes, under forty years of age, must possess Dominator-level strength, and no criminal record,â Xu Daofeng said.
These three requirements, while not extremely harsh themselves, the first and second form a significantly high barrier, eliminating as many as ninety-nine point nine nine nine⊠percent of people.
A crucial point was, first, that Dominator-level powerhouses were a minority among humans.
World City, with a population numbering in the hundreds of millions, had only one Dominator-level powerhouse.
Moreover, Divine Sectâs requirement of being under forty years old really set the bar high!
If the total population of the Cloud Realm could reach dozens of billions, this requirement would equate to it being barely a handful of people from those billions.
Otherwise, given the authority of Divine Sect, there would be applicants lined up from Seventeen Cities to Wen City, not just those few walking back and forth in the courtyard.
âBrother Chu, your qualifications meet the criteria. Are you interested in joining us? If you become a member of Divine Sect, you could also manage some unreasonable governance, which would allow your New Moon Land not to be oppressed,â Xu Daofeng said with a smile.
âDoes Divine Sect require adherence to anything particular?â Chu Mu asked.
âThere are many things to comply withâŠâ
âI might not be very suitable, Iâve gotten used to being lax,â Chu Mu said.
Chu Mu indeed met the first two conditions, but he felt he might not be able to meet the third. While he currently had no criminal record, that could change soon, and he was aware of his own character flaws. Divine Sect, demanding absolute justice, might be difficult for him to fit into.
âI could recommend someone, though,â Chu Mu suddenly thought of someone and spoke to Xu Daofeng.
âWho?â Xu Daofeng asked.
âA woman from our team; I think she would be quite suited to becoming a member of Divine Sect,â Chu Mu said.
Thereupon, Chu Mu briefly recounted Mu Qingyiâs role and actions in New Moon Land, allowing Xu Daofeng to understand her better.
Honestly, Chu Mu did feel that Mu Qingyi was well-suited to join Divine Sect. She possessed an unyielding spirit, intolerant of injustice and unfairness, and would not stand for the strong preying on the weak, as was evident from her outrage in Snow City.
And toward evil ones, Mu Qingyi showed no mercy, as demonstrated when she bloodstained the Queenâs Palace.
Both Chu Mu and Mu Qingyi pursued the path of Soul Pets, differing in that Chu Mu could sometimes be ruthless, a character trait developed while he was in Prison Island, which he could no longer change. However, Mu Qingyi was of a kind who preferred to remain unbowed, making her far more suitable than Chu Mu for becoming a member of Divine Sect.
âWhat about her strength? Our Divine Sect greatly values personal character, but strength is also crucial, lacking which one isnât qualified to arbitrate anything,â Xu Daofeng inquired.
âSheâs a Soul Controller; I think that should be sufficient,â Chu Mu replied.
Xu Daofeng was stunned!
Soul Controllerâthis concept is completely different from possessing Dominator Level strength, because Soul Master Level Experts still have a lot of room for improvement!!
In Xu Daofengâs view, it was already surprising for a Xuan Master to emerge in their team, let alone another woman who was a Soul Master. She was in no way inferior to him. Thinking back to how he had shown a smug expression during his own introduction, Xu Daofeng felt somewhat unable to show his face.
âYou people are somewhat abnormal.â It took a while before Xu Daofeng spit out these words.
After speaking, Xu Daofeng specifically glanced at Chu Mu because he remembered that Ye Wansheng had introduced Chu Mu as their leader.
Being able to kill Boundary General Li Kuangdeng, the person standing in front of him must also be very strong. This group really concealed their capabilities well!
âThen quickly have her come over, our recruitment time is very short,â said Xu Daofeng.
Chu Mu nodded and glanced at the Little Black Phoenix perched on Little Mo Xieâs head.
Dream of Oblivion was spoiled by Little Mo Xie. In the past, whenever they arrived in a city, it would always split into Spirit Butterflies and linger, but now it mainly slept soundly with Little Mo Xie all dayâLittle Mo Xie really missed the days of daily battlesâŠ
Dream of Oblivion knew what Chu Mu wanted it to do. After its eyes flashed with some light, a small feather fell from its wings.
This small feather transformed into a cute, petite Spirit Butterfly and then fluttered its wings toward a certain direction, disappearing from view after a short while.
âIs this a Messenger Soul Pet?â Xu Daofeng curiously asked.
âNot exactly.â
âŠ
In the Mountain Courtyard, Mu Qingyi was chatting with Ghost Jinrou in the yard while the Morning Crown Prince, unable to interject, sat beside them, somewhat dozing off.
âPuff puff puff puff~~~~~~~~~â
The purple-black Spirit Butterfly lightly landed on Mu Qingyiâs shoulder, making some ethereal sounds.
âChu Muâs Dream of Oblivion, what message has he brought?â The Morning Crown Prince immediately became alert.
âHe asked me to go to the Divine Sect Mansion in Seventeen Cities, and to bring the Fire Detoxification Potion that Ye Qingzi concocted. I donât know what matter it is for him to want me to go personally,â Mu Qingyi said.
âCould it be that Chu Mu, that big guy, couldnât get any information from Xu Daofeng, so he sent youâŠâ The Crown Prince was speaking when he realized Mu Qingyi was glaring at him and decisively shut up.
Mu Qingyi now firmly believed that the originally pure and simple Morning Crown Prince was slowly being influenced by Ye Wansheng.
âŠ
Mu Qingyi did not hesitate; she took the Fire Detoxification Potion and headed out as Chu Mu had said.
When she arrived at the Divine Sect Mansion, Chu Mu and Xu Daofeng were already waiting for her there. Chu Mu sat there, smiling with questionable intentions, which made Mu Qingyi wonder if he was really planning to sell her out like the Morning Crown Prince had said.
âJoin the Divine Sect?â Mu Qingyi blinked.
Up to now, Mu Qingyi still didnât have a thorough understanding of the Divine Sect, so joining the Divine Sect seemed a bit too sudden.
âMiss Mu, it doesnât matter if you donât understand. Even if you pass this assessment, thereâs still a three-year observation period. During these three years, you can slowly understand the Divine Sect and its duties. If you qualify, youâll be one of us. By then, it will be your choice whether to join the Divine Sect or not. Of course, I believe that as you learn more about the Divine Sect, you wonât refuse to join,â Xu Daofeng confidently said.
âLet me think about it,â Mu Qingyi said.
While speaking, Mu Qingyi already pulled Chu Mu aside and stared at him: âWhatâs going on, why suddenly ask me to join the Divine Sect?â
Mu Qingyi wouldnât know that Chu Mu really was planning to sell her out, to sell her to the Divine Sect.
âI just objectively think youâre very suitable,â Chu Mu said.
âThen why donât you join yourself? If Xu Daofeng and that Chief Officer Lu knew about your strength, they would definitely make an exception for you,â Mu Qingyi said annoyed.
âIâm not of pure nature,â Chu Mu said with a sheepish smile.
Mu Qingyi couldnât help but laugh and cry, yet someone admitted to not being of pure nature.
But thinking about it more carefully, it was true. Chu Mu appeared normal on the surface, but in reality, he had many tricks up his sleeve.
