Chapter 2679: Sky Sect 5
Logically, they rarely engaged with individuals who hadn’t officially entered the sect, even though they often passed by this location.
This girl seemed rather clueless.
They couldn’t bear to witness her distress. They believed that if they didn’t enlighten her, such a naive girl might end up wandering aimlessly, much like a headless fly.
While there were others like her, the sight of her ignorance prompted them to share some insights. They felt compelled to prevent her from becoming completely lost in this unfamiliar environment.
The Sky Sect distributed the Guidance Scroll, attracting those who deemed themselves talented and fitting for the Sky Sect. However, obtaining the scroll was just the initial step. Upon arrival, individuals faced another test; those who passed it became true members of the Sky Sect, while those who failed were scattered elsewhere in the Third World, as if their Guidance Scroll acquisition had never occurred.
Many remained unaware of this process.
In contrast, she had arrived here before successfully passing the second stage and ascending on her own.
The situation was both amusing and bitter.
Nonetheless, she was the first to achieve this feat.
Considering the laughter she had brought them, they felt inclined to share more information. “Miss, the reason he was able to leave is that the Sect Leader of the Moon Sect took an interest in him and accepted him into the sect, allowing him to smoothly enter the Sky Sect. The fact that no one chose you suggests that no Sect Leader has taken a fancy to you.”
“…”
“Cultivators who obtain the Sky Sect’s Guidance Scroll gather people below the Sky Sect. This is where the sect leaders from various sects select their disciples. If chosen, one can ascend the stairs; if not, they remain below. Many go unchosen, but you’re unique – the only one to ascend without being selected. You’re quite special.”
“…”
“But your chances are even slimmer,” the two men stated, their tone serious. They didn’t mock Gu Chaoyan; instead, they observed her calmly.
Confused, Gu Chaoyan questioned, “What does that mean?”
It dawned on her that the arduous climb she undertook was not due to any inherent difficulty in reaching the top; rather, it was because she hadn’t been chosen.
If she was here now, did that mean she had no choice?
Damn!
After pondering for a moment, Gu Chaoyan exclaimed, “In that case, I might as well go back down.”
“It’s futile. We struggled to climb up, so let’s not waste our effort, okay?” the two men advised.
What did that imply?
“That’s correct. All the Sect Leaders can witness your actions, even at this moment. They have observed your inexplicable actions, and it’s likely they won’t choose you. It’s best to wait here. If, in seven days, there’s still no result, then you can leave. No need to go through so much trouble. Just be patient,” one of them suggested.
They exchanged glances, indicating they felt they had provided enough guidance. If she had known, she wouldn’t have dashed around aimlessly.
Considering their advice as a gesture of kindness, they left, attending to their own duties, leaving Gu Chaoyan standing alone in the wind.
Little did she know the Sky Sect had its own set of intricacies.
Hadn’t obtaining the Guidance Scroll meant truly entering the Sky Sect?
Why hadn’t the Chaotic Space reminded her? Crawling here for so long was indeed foolish.
