Chapter 19: Bu Tian Cult

Chapter 19 Butian Sect

Butian State, vast and boundless, is home to many races. This is a land of spiritual beauty and grandeur, lush with divine mountains and Holy Lands, and permeated with Spiritual Qi.

As one of the Three Thousand Provinces, it is not much different from Heavenly Immortal State, equally peaceful and magnificent, with outstanding people, flourishing myriad races, gods appearing, countless strong individuals, and many beautiful myths and legends left behind.

And now, Lin Fan was sent to this state by Qi Daolin, not hesitating to cross hundreds of millions of miles and dozens of great states, just to infiltrate a top power in this state—the Butian Sect.

Just by hearing the state's name and the sect's name, one can tell the power of this sect; it almost controls an entire great state and is named after its sect, which is rare in the Upper Realm.

“Damn it, this old man is really unreliable. He just threw me here and left, without even telling me how to join, teaching me some experience, or arranging an identity. What if I get discovered? That would be terrible!” Lin Fan complained, feeling anxious and uneasy.

This time, he came to secretly learn, not to formally join. Facing such an immortal great sect, he was very worried about revealing his connection with the Supreme Dojo, which could bring disaster.

Qi Daolin's reputation was truly too bad. In his early years, he joined more than a dozen great sects, secretly learning countless Divine Abilities from each Family. After being discovered, he became an existence hunted by everyone, shaking the entire Upper Realm.

For this reason, various sects also strengthened the screening of new Disciples, strictly checking their origins to prevent such incidents from happening.

…

Outside the area where the Butian Sect is located, Lin Fan arrived at this region. Here, there is a giant city specifically for receiving outsiders, acting as a gateway.

Although it is only an outpost, it is extraordinarily grand and majestic, covering an extremely wide area. Its prosperity far surpasses many national capitals, with dense crowds and a constant flow of people.

Its terrain is also extraordinary; from a distance, it looks like a large Dragon prostrate here, with clouds and mist rising, auspicious light flowing, and various buildings grand and tall. There are even many spiritual mountains and flying waterfalls, and a large river flows through the streets, making it very magnificent.

“Butian Sect Admission Handbook! Those who want to know how to join, come and take a look!”

“Purple Orchid Grass, an eight-thousand-year-old quasi-Holy Medicine, can solidify the Physical Body, making the Physical Body flawless. Those interested, come and bid! A rare treasure medicine!”

“Divine Rank Magical Artifact, the Scarlet Blood Divine Spear, incomparably sharp and unstoppable, specially designed to break through various shields and armors, with powerful might, essential for combat! Don't miss it, first come, first served!”

“Five-Colored Luan Bird Divine Ability…”

In the bustling city, vendors shouted continuously, their voices intermingling. Various rare treasures were exchanged, making it very lively.

Moreover, none of the people doing business here were simple; they were backed by Butian Sect Elders, and no one dared to forcefully seize anything or cause trouble.

Lin Fan merely glanced at them and did not linger too long. For someone who frequently visited Celestial Immortal Academy and had seen too much, he did not find anything new or surprising.

However, this place was very large, not at all smaller than the cities of Celestial Immortal Academy. Looking out, the area it covered was astonishingly vast. Walking within it, one would quickly be overwhelmed by the crowds and lose direction.

Unfamiliar with the local roads, Lin Fan wandered around this area for a long time, more than an hour, without reaching the city's central area, remaining in the outer regions.

“Uncle, do you know how to join the Butian Sect?” Lin Fan asked a street vendor. They lived here permanently and undoubtedly knew many things about this place.

The vendor looked up and didn't see anyone speaking. He looked down and realized it was a five or six-year-old child, showing surprise. He was amazed that such a young child wanted to join the Butian Sect.

“Little friend, joining the Butian Sect is not easy. This is one of the highest cultivation Holy Lands in the Upper Realm. Many great Families send their Disciples here, gathering countless talents, yet many still find it difficult to enter. You are too young; it’s better to wait a few years before coming back!” the vendor advised.

This was not disdain, but rather due to his extremely young age. Even if he had potential, it had not yet been developed, and his cultivation could not be very high, making it almost impossible to pass the test and join.

“Uncle, please tell me. I traveled a long way alone to get here. I must at least try!” Lin Fan's big eyes were clear and sparkling, as he earnestly sought guidance.

“It's not that I won't tell you, but this year's enrollment has already ended. If you want to join, you'll have to wait until next year!”

“Is there no other way to join?” Lin Fan asked pitifully, like an abandoned child.

The man sighed, thinking he came from some small tribe, and couldn't bear for him to have made the trip for nothing, so he said:

“There is a way. The Butian Sect’s doors are always open for peerless geniuses. In the center of this city, there is a monument erected by the first Sect Leader, which can test a person’s combat power, talent, potential, and so on.

For beings of different aptitudes, the stone tablet will shine with different colors: white, green, red, purple, and gold, in ascending order. White is the lowest, and gold is the highest. As long as you reach red, you can be exceptionally admitted and enter the Butian Sect at any time!”

Lin Fan pondered, feeling that this method was too high-profile. He originally wanted to enter discreetly, as he would eventually leave.

But now that he had missed the enrollment, he definitely didn't want to wait another year. Being alone outside would be too much of a waste of time, and cultivation also required resources.

“Thank you, Uncle, I understand.”

Finally, Lin Fan thanked him and rushed towards the central monument.

It took him another hour to find the place the vendor mentioned: the central square of the city. This area was vast and empty, with no halls or buildings, only a massive, grand platform.

And on that ancient stone platform stood a crystalline monument, magnificent and majestic, emitting light, hundreds of feet tall, with complex and mysterious patterns carved upon it.

There were many beings in this place, surrounding the entire stone monument, both male and female, fierce birds and members of the Human Race, all discussing. Some even looked joyful, eager to try.

Most of them came from very distant places, also to join the Butian Sect, and some were already Disciples of the sect, also taking the test.

In any great sect, the stronger one's power and the higher one's talent, the more resources one naturally receives.

Lin Fan observed carefully. The people who came here were much older than him; the youngest were eleven or twelve, and the oldest were over twenty. He appeared very small among the crowd.

“It is said that whoever can make this monument shine with a golden light can directly become a Butian Sect Legacy Disciple and enjoy the highest treatment.” Everyone was very excited, all wishing to become peerless Disciples and ascend to heaven in one step.

“Everyone, just dream on. In countless years, only two or three people in the Butian Sect have been able to make this monument emit brilliant golden light. Those few individuals are all renowned throughout the Three Thousand Provinces!”

Someone sighed, knowing how difficult it was. Such people were all rare Prodigies and heroes, and how many could achieve that?

“But I heard that not long ago, the Butian Sect’s new Saintess made this monument shine with golden light, and its radiance was even more dazzling than those of the past few individuals,” someone said.

“Hiss~, the Butian Sect is truly amazing. It seems another peerless strong individual is about to emerge, surpassing past predecessors!” Many people were shocked.

Afterward, someone else uncovered the background of the Butian Sect's current Saintess, which was astonishing: “She was born with a strange phenomenon, causing the sun to dim and all the stars in the heavens to shine simultaneously. It is speculated that she might be the Reincarnation of a certain Female Immortal.”

Lin Fan stroked his chin, a hint of interest rising in his heart. He also wanted to see what his own talent was like, where he would rank, and if he would be inferior to Yue Chan, who was rumored to be the Reincarnation of Qing Yue Zhen Xian.
