Plane: Apostle of the Secret Realm

A deep roar resounded through the entire secret realm, and Xu Feng frowned.

"This is……"

I originally thought that it would make up for the shortcomings of a certain elemental conception in the secret realm, but I didn't expect that after the realm golden beads were integrated into the secret realm, they would directly transform into the phantom of a mythical beast;
Chaotic Qilin Beast!
At the same time, there are [-] stars in Zhou Tian's battle, and the light suddenly blooms. Even if it is daytime, these [-] stars are also shining brightly, and they start to compete with the sun and the moon!

"I didn't expect that it was Zhou Tian Xing Dou Zhen who made up for it!" Xu Feng couldn't help but a pleasant smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The next moment, four phantoms of divine beasts appeared in the sky;
Qinglong, Baihu, Phoenix, Xuanwu!
The phantoms of the four divine beasts, each occupying a part of the world, all bowed their heads to the newly condensed Chaos Qilin Beast, expressing their submission!
When the Chaos Qilin Beast occupies the central heaven and earth, the entire Zhou Tianxing Formation will be completely complete!
Zhou Tianxing Douzhen comes with three skills, Zhou Tianxing Douzhen - Solid, Zhou Tianxing Douzhen - Destroy, Zhou Tianxing Douzhen - Kill!

The first two skills can be used, and they are both defensive and offensive. They are very powerful. The last Zhoutian Star Fighting Formation - Kill should be the most powerful killing move. Unfortunately, Xu Feng only collected four divine beasts and souls before. The final soul of the divine beast guarding the central area has never been collected.

Previously, Xu Feng tried to let the Netherworld Dragon guard the central area to form the Zhoutian Star Fighting Formation. Unfortunately, the level of the Netherworld Dragon was too low, and the Zhoutian Star Fighting Formation did not recognize its existence at all. Even if he reluctantly joined, The Netherworld Dragon's strength was unable to suppress the other four divine beasts at the same time to form a combined force, so in the end it had no choice but to let it go.

"I didn't expect that a domain golden bead could make up for the shortcomings of the Zhou Tianxing Formation!" Xu Feng thought to himself.

Soon, the Chaos Qilin Beast with the head of a dragon, the body of a deer and the tail of an ox, and covered with gray scales slowly rose into the air and occupied the central position!
In an instant, countless stars shed their light, as if to celebrate the return of the Chaos Qilin Beast. At the same time, the third skill of the Zhoutian Star Fighting Formation also became brighter from the originally unusable gray color.

Xu Feng couldn't help but want to try the last skill of Zhou Tianxing Douzhen, but thinking that he was still on the flying boat, he could only suppress his excitement for the time being. After all, the fewer people know about this bottom-of-the-box skill, the better. Lianzong, it's not too late to try after you have your own cave.

In the meeting hall of the Celestial Sect of the Upper Realm, Qinglian Sect

Today is the day when Qinglian Sect selects disciples. After a few days of selection, those who can stand in the Qinglian Sect's discussion hall at this time are almost all qualified to become inner sect disciples.At the same time, the elders of the Qinglian Sect were also sitting around.

"Hey, the sect's momentum is weak, it has become the end of a hundred veins, and it is difficult for the recruited disciples to have amazing talents..." the deputy sect master Qiu Zonghai glanced at the nearly one hundred disciples in the meeting hall, and said sadly in his heart.

It has been thousands of years since the suzerain went on a trip. If it weren't for the fact that the suzerain's soul lamp was not extinguished in the hall of spirits, most people would think that the suzerain of Qinglian sect had fallen.

"Elder Wang, is this the candidate selected by the sect this time, who is qualified to become an inner disciple?" Qiu Zonghai asked in a deep voice.

"Vice-Sect Master, there are 670 nine people selected this time, and a total of 340 seven people were selected, of which 250 five people can only become outer disciples, and the remaining 92 people are all here!" An old man with white beard and hair Seriously replied.

Qiu Zonghai nodded, and asked more than 100 elders present: "Elders, do you have any disciples who can catch your eye?"

Hearing Qiu Zonghai's question, the people who had just been selected at the scene couldn't help standing up straight, puffing out their chests, with a positive look, trying to show their best side.

It’s just that after so many days of selection, the various qualities of everyone present have been noticed by the elders. No one in this group of people is qualified to become a direct disciple. If it were a hundred years ago, these people in front of them would not even be able to enter. The inner sect has no qualifications and can only be reduced to an outer sect disciple, but now...

There was an embarrassing silence in the meeting hall. All the elders seemed not to have heard Deputy Sect Leader Qiu's question and remained silent.

You must know that every elder has a quota of direct disciples, and the selection of direct disciples by the elders does not necessarily have to be selected among the selected disciples. Maybe one time when you go out on a trip and see someone with qualifications, you can directly accept him. Be your own direct disciple, and then bring it back to the sect. If the quota of direct disciples is exhausted, even if you find qualified people in the future, you will not be able to accept them as your own direct disciple.

Therefore, for the elders, it is better to recruit direct disciples than to overfill them. They would rather hold on to the quota than recruit some who are not qualified enough to become their direct disciples.

Seeing that all the elders were silent, Qiu Zonghai couldn't help but frowned, and began to roll his name: "Elder Sun, you still have three places for disciples, why don't you choose one?"

"Hehe, to report back to the deputy suzerain, the old man is getting old, and even the current disciples are somewhat unable to teach them. They are really powerless for the new disciples!"

Qiu Zonghai nodded. Recruiting disciples cannot be forced. The elders are unwilling. Even if he is the deputy sect leader, he cannot force them.

"Elder Hai, you haven't recruited disciples for a hundred years. Don't these people catch your eye?"

The burly Elder Hai, with a face like a jujube, originally closed his eyes slightly to rest his mind. When he heard the words of the deputy suzerain Qiu Zonghai, he couldn't help opening his eyes, and glanced at the nearly one hundred newly recruited disciples in the hall, with a look of disdain on his face. Undoubtedly, he sneered twice and stopped talking.

Qiu Zonghai sighed in a low voice, shook his head, with a look of helplessness on his face.

Personally handed down disciples, both in terms of skills and cultivation resources, are far superior to inner disciples, and their success rate is also much higher than that of inner disciples. However, since the decline of the Qinglian sect, the elders have become more cautious in recruiting inner disciples.

"Everyone..." Qiu Zonghai wanted to continue persuading him. The elders have not recruited direct disciples for more than ten years, and some elders have not recruited direct disciples for nearly a hundred years. There are fewer and fewer people coming to Qinglianzong to learn from their masters. If this continues, Qinglianzong will lose its lineage.

For a large sect with more than a million disciples, this is simply a joke.

At this moment, a disciple suddenly rushed to the meeting hall.

"Reporting to the Deputy Sect Master, Elder Long who went to the Black Territory has returned!"

"Back?" Qiu Zonghai's eyes lit up and he asked quickly: "How many disciples did Elder Long bring back?"

"Reporting to the deputy suzerain, there are only...five people!"

"Are there only five people?" Qiu Zonghai's face darkened suddenly, he couldn't help shaking his head, and sighed secretly.
