The Sānshèngyuàn's disciple acceptance ceremony is held roughly every two years, which isn't very frequent. Some sects in the Jiǔzhū even hold a disciple acceptance ceremony every year.
Because the mortality rate among cultivators at the Lingxi Realm is extremely high, even if they safely pass through the Lingxi Realm, there is no guarantee of safety when they reach the Yunhe, Zhenhu, or Shenhai Realms.
The incessant confrontation between the two major factions inevitably ensures that the Kyushu region will be perpetually engulfed in warfare.
To ensure that the sect has enough foundation for transmission, it must continuously absorb fresh blood.
Generally speaking, the disciple acceptance ceremonies of Tier 1, 2, and 3 sects don't just involve themselves, but also nearby sects of slightly lower ranks.
The requirements for joining the "???????一二三品宗門" are very strict. Each intake has a limited number of places, but many people apply. Those who are eliminated may not necessarily be unworthy of cultivation. Many outstanding talents have been discovered through this process.
So whenever a first, second or third-rate sect recruits disciples, those small and medium sects are happy to go and observe the ceremony. Firstly, it's a way of showing support, and secondly, they hope to seize the opportunity to find some discarded potential among those who were rejected.
As long as one demonstrates their abilities within such a grand assembly, they can join various sects, big and small.
Those who came to the ceremony were quite different from those Lu Ye had encountered in the Xiyue Valley. Back then, many of them hadn't even opened their spiritual apertures, they just had a basic assessment to see if they had the potential for cultivation.
Among those who came here to attend the ceremony, many already have a foundation in cultivation. Thus, their future potential is even more evident.
For the Three Saints Academy, this disciples recruitment ceremony was destined to be a fruitful one. Even during the registration phase, they had already discovered many promising candidates, which made the cultivators in charge of the event very happy.
< Guests arrived one by one and were warmly welcomed.

When news spread that Tang Yifeng, the head of the Bi Xue Sect, had arrived in person, even the San Sheng Courtyard had to treat him with utmost respect.
No matter what, over thirty years ago, the Bixue Sect was a banner of the Haotian Alliance.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ? Although the Bi Xue Zong has declined over the past thirty years, a dying camel is bigger than a horse. Moreover, with Lu Ye's actions recently, the Bi Xue Zong shows clear signs of resurgence.
<<>>
"Tang brother, why did you think of visiting my humble abode this time?" Yuganju was a little puzzled.
"What's wrong? You don't welcome me?" The Headmaster chuckled.
"How dare I? Tang brother, your presence is an honor to our sect. It's just that these past few years, I haven't seen you involved in such trivial matters."
The headmaster sighed softly: “Things are different now than they used to be. Back then, if we wanted to remove the Blood Oath Sect from the records, we could just do it. After all, there weren't many people, and a life of leisure afterwards wasn't so bad. Now that there are more young disciples, we can't remove the Blood Oath Sect from the records. We can't remove it, so we might as well develop it properly. One-Leaf suggested that I recruit more disciples to make plans for the future, but you know, the Blood Oath Sect hasn't accepted anyone in over thirty years. The old man never managed these things before, and I have no idea what the procedures are. This is a chance to learn by observing while you guys are handling it.”
"I see." Yú Gànjū suddenly understood. Now he knew how the Sect Leader had come to the San Sheng Courtyard to attend the ceremony.
So, you go ahead and busy yourself with whatever you need to do. I'll just take a stroll around here and look things over. Don't worry about me.
Although this is the case, the Sect Master is still the master of a sect, and moreover, a divine sea realm cultivator. He deserves some face. Thus, Dan Jiao immediately ordered a True Lake realm disciple to accompany and take care of him throughout his stay.

When the Headmaster resided in the Three Saints Academy, Lu Ye was fighting hard inside the Mirage Realm.
After being killed seven times by those dog thieves from the Wanmo Ridge, Lu Ye waited for half an hour before daring to enter again. The man was indeed gone.
Entering the Mirage Realm costs fifty points of merit. Within, one refines their Dao of Weaponry. One by one, shrouded cultivators are slain by the mist, and one's spirit flows more smoothly.
Two hours later, Lu Ye emerged from the mirage realm with a refreshed spirit and a sense of clarity.
Through such trials and tribulations, Lu Ye's understanding of the Way of Armament Cultivation has been elevated. Most importantly, he has tested the limits of his current abilities.
Let me make a few adjustments and replenish my own resources.
<<>>
As they arrived at Mingxin Peak and followed the descending light, Lu Ye strolled to Yunfu's residence. Before he could speak, a mute maidservant came out, smiling at Lu Ye and gesturing him forward.
Lu Ye gazed at the other person, a strange glint in his eyes.
<<>>
He handed over the several fish he had caught to the other party. Led by the maidservant, he walked through a corridor and arrived at the place where he often received teachings from Lady Yun in the past.
Lady Yun is reading a book.
"I've met Lady Yun," Lu Ye stepped forward and bowed.
The Cloud Madam sized him up and down with a warm smile. “Not bad, you've come back whole."
"The two treasures given by Madam were very helpful."
Even the most precious treasure is just an external possession. I heard about what happened to you. It's remarkable that you have such a high talent in array dao, even in the midst of Wanmo Ridge. This time, you really gave them a run for their money. In the future, will you be interested in specializing in array dao?
Let it be, this time even the disciple didn't expect things to develop like this. The main reason is that he gained too much in the Hundred Array Tower.
Please note: I only translated the text content within the tags. The HTML tags themselves were not translated. The Hundred Towers is a good place, I've been there once too, but I was too young back then and didn't understand its intricacies. While I did gain some rewards there, they weren't much. That said, you still want to major in Spirit Rune Path?
Lü Yè said, "The Way of Spirit Patterns encompasses various domains. As a disciple with this lineage, I wish to spend more time cultivating it."
"You're right about that. Once you master the way of Spirit Veins, learning anything else becomes twice as easy. Just like your harvest in Array Dao this time. Let's begin then. Show me what level of mastery you have in the way of Spirit Veins now."
"Having said that, Yunfu retrieved a jade tablet and handed it to Lü Ye.
"
Before this, the two of them often had such tests. Lu Ye naturally knew what to do, so he immediately activated his spiritual power and, with all his might, constructed a spirit pattern on the jade board.
The spirit patterns he chose were not derived from the talent tree, but rather learned from books.
After a while, gazing at the dense yin-yang duality on the jade tablet, Yun Fu nodded: "Significant progress."
<<>>
The more I come into contact with Spirit Patterns, the more I feel the profoundness of this path.
<<>>
It seemed as though the days had returned to how they once were. During the day, Lu Ye would learn the art of spirit patterns from Madam Yun. At night, he would take some books back to study them.
He had already finished reading all the books he had taken from Lady Yun before, and this time he came back just to exchange for a new batch.
< ??????? Days go by day by day.

The grand ceremony of the Sanshengyuan's disciples recruitment was drawing to a close. It wasn't a particularly significant event, so the results were already available after just a few days. Zhenhu Jing, who presided over the ceremony, had ranked the participating disciples based on their performances.
The top fifty, without a doubt, will be accepted by the Three Saints Academy. As for the rest, it depends on whether the sects attending the ceremony are willing to recruit them.
Generally speaking, as long as your ambition isn't too high, those ranked within the top five hundred can all enter a suitable sect.
As night fell, the young people who participated in the ceremony were both excited and nervous because the results would be announced tomorrow!
>The next day dawned, and everyone was waiting, but the Three Sages Academy was slow to announce the results. It seemed that something major had happened. Figures of True Lake Realm powerhouses shuttled back and forth between the inner and outer courtyards of the Three Sages Academy.
<<
>>>
During this grand ceremony, the top fifty outstanding young people who were supposed to be honored have all vanished!
This really scared the living daylights out of me.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! Over the years, countless initiation ceremonies have been held by major sects, but nothing like this has ever happened before. Some speculate that this might be the work of the Wan Mo Ling, but upon closer inspection, it seems unlikely. To silently abduct fifty people in a single night would require at least the strength of a Divine Sea Realm expert.
The Sea of Demons from Wanmo Ridge running to the Three Saints Academy? There's no reason for them to do something like this.
Meanwhile, inside the San Sheng Yuan, Gan Ju stared gloomily at the intelligence reports pouring in from all directions, his eyelids twitching: "That old fox Tang Yifeng is being too deceitful!"
It remains unclear what happened to the fifty people, and even the Three Saints Academy initially wasn't sure. But as a second-rank sect, they quickly uncovered the truth.

As Gan Jue recalled his conversation with Tang Yifeng that day, he suddenly understood why the old fellow had come to attend the ceremony.
<<>>
He had never seen such shameless behavior from a Sea God Realm cultivator! |
