System Journey to Godhood

The day of Heaven Swords Sect's recruitment examination had finally arrived. Crowds of cultivators had already waited in front of the Heaven Swords Sect gate from the morning eager to test their ability and luck to get the opportunity to join the sect.

Many scions and ladies from small to big families and prodigy from small and medium sects could be seen alongside many cultivators from humble backgrounds.

The Heaven Sword Sect was famous for its love for talent disregarding their background and gender. As long as the person's talent was remarkable, the sect wouldn't have a scruple to recruit them as disciples.

"I underestimated the competition for joining one of the big sects, even cultivator in the fifth level of Qi Transformation joining the examination," said one of the young cultivators with a solemn expression.

"That is not surprising look there, he was Xian Bu Yu one of the young geniuses of the Xian Clan, he was already at the seventh level of Qi Transformation in early 20," said one of the cultivators, joining the conversation.

"There's also Fairy Meng from Meng Clan. There is a rumor that she had been able to use Swords Qi. Her proficiency in Sword Dao was even got complemented by the Third Elder, Elder Meng."

"There also Sword Twin of Mt. Luo, Xi Ning'er and Xi Ying'er. Some said that their combination attack could even killed a peak Qi Transformation Stage cultivator."

"There is a lot of geniuses join the examination this year, is there anything special with examination this year?" asked one cultivator curiously.

"Of Course it's different. The Soaring Dragon and Phoenix Competition that only holds every five years will come up soon. If these geniuses want to participate, joining Big Sects like Heaven Sword Sect would be their better choice," said one cultivator excitedly. When the name "Soaring Dragon and Phoenix Competition" came from his mouth, his blood boiled with battle spirit.

Becoming the winner of Soaring Dragon and Phoenix Competition was the dream of every young cultivator in the Eastern Region. 

Aside from the fame and glory that they got as the geniuses of their generation, they could also enjoy great benefits if they could secure their position in the top ten.

One of them was to get a chance to enter Soul Cleansing Pond in one of the secret realms managed by the Council of Eastern, which was a joint organization with its member were the top brass of Nine Great Families--now, Eight Great Families-- and Three Big Sects.

Soul Cleansing Pond could help cultivators to strengthen their souls thus made breakthroughs to the Nascent Soul stage became easier.

These ambitious youth of the Eastern Region definitely wouldn't miss those opportunities.

Amidst those crowds, Snowy and Feng Xue quietly walked toward the gate to enter the sect earlier.

Before Elder Yang departing that time, Feng Xue had already asked him to make arrangements so Snowy could enter the inner court without joining the examination.

It was not that Feng Xue didn't have confidence in Snowy. On the contrary, she was afraid that Snowy will make too big of a commotion that could alert the enemy who had targeted Snowy's former host.

She wasn't sure whether they had someone to monitor Eastern Region but it was better to prevent the worse case from happening.

While Snowy and Feng Xue leisurely approached the gate, they inevitably became the center of attention due to their graceful figure.

Many male cultivators looked at them with adoration and passion. 

On the other hand, the female groups' reaction was more complicated. Some looked at them with admiration, some with envy, and some with contempt. It was true that women couldn't stand another women's beauty.

Only geniuses like Fairy Meng, Xian Bu Yu, and Twin Sword Xi Ning'er and Xi Ying'er made a serious expression as they stared at the two girls.

Although their cultivation base could already be considered as top in the young generation, they couldn't perceive the strength of the two women.

Fairy Meng looked at them with battle intent in her eyes.

Xian Bu Yu fell in contemplation, no one knew what he was thinking about.

The Twin excitedly observed the two women like a predator stalking for prey.

The only similarity between them was they really wanted to know the identity of those two women.

"Halt. Only Heaven Sword Sect's disciple is allowed to pass this gate!" said one of the disciples who acts as guard today.

"This is me," said Feng Xue while took off her veil to reveal her face.

"Senior Sister Feng!" both of the guards quickly saluted Feng Xue.

"Now you know it's me you can let us go right?" asked Feng Xue.

"This… Senior Sister Feng of course can go, but… this fellow Daoist..." they hesitated as they looked at Snowy.

"What's wrong with her? Didn't Master told you about her?" asked Feng Xue impatiently. 'Didn't Master say he will make an arrangement for Snowy? Is there some problem?'

"Because of the situation in Wilderland these days, the disciplinary division made a rule that if an outsider wanted to enter the sect, they need at least one elder to accompany them. So we just act according to the rule, Senior Sister Feng, we hope you can give us your understanding," said one of the guards politely.

Feng Xue knew that it was unreasonable if she was to argue with them considering that they were only following orders from the sect. She helplessly sighed, "So, there's no way for her to go inside?"

The guards looked at each other and then said, "Why don't the fellow Daoist here join the examination? There should be no problem right?"

'Of course, there will be a problem!' screamed Feng Xue inwardly but say nothing to the two guards.

She looked at Snowy and said, "What do you think?"

"It's okay," said Snowy confidently.

"Please do it moderately, okay?" whispered Feng Xue in a small voice.

"Un," Snowy nodded. 

"Okay, let's go to register," said Feng Xue, grabbing Snowy hand to the disciple who was in charge of the examination.

While Snowy and Feng Xue confronting the gate's guard, the crowd became heated up with discussion.

"So she is the Phoenix Maiden, Feng Xue!"

"Who is the girls beside her? Is that her sister?"

"There's no way that her sister, everybody know that she was the only child. Maybe that is her friend?"

"How lucky is she to be Fairy Feng's friend…."

The crowd gasped not only because of Feng Xue's well-endowed facial feature that could steal many hearts whether it was man or woman but also because of her identity.

She was the genius from the Feng Family, known for the pureness of her Phoenix bloodline and also the sole personal disciple of Elder Yang, the first elder of Heaven Swords Sect. 

She was also one of the cultivators who had already become a Golden Core Cultivator before the age of twenty. 

This news spread after the commotion in the restaurant three days ago. It seemed that there were some people that recognized Feng Xue and had high enough cultivation to sense Feng Xue's strength who spread the news around the city.

Many women, who were initially disdainful at them who they thought to be planning to use their beauty to gain an upper hand, feel hot on their cheek and felt ashamed. 

They regret the fact that they were so narrow-minded and ended up slapped in the face instead. 

Some of them even instantly became Feng Xue's fans, making her their pride and joy.

Some of the girls had their sparkling eyes glued to Feng Xue's figure. She was their idol and someone to look up to.

They then looked at Snowy with envy and jealousy, 'who is this girl? She must have saved the world in her previous life to be lucky enough to walk with Fairy Feng!'

Most of the men felt dejected. 

Feng Xue and they were two people of different worlds. They could only stay admiring her from the far.

"So that girl is Feng Xue, I really want to battle her," muttered Fairy Meng. The difference in their cultivation level didn't dampen her battle spirit, it even burned more fiercely.

"Hmph, that bitch must be elated now," a girl snorted unhappily as she walked behind Xian Bu Yu.

"You're still mad about what happened in the restaurant that day, Cousin Qingruo?" Xian Bu Yu chuckled when he saw his cousin's indignant face.

"Of course I'm unwilling to let this grievance go, but… what can I do? That wrench is really strong and her backer was the first elder…" sighed Xian Qingruo in dejection.

"Fortunately you're still with reason, Cousin Qingruo. You shouldn't miss with her," said Xian Bu Yu with a smile.

"Do you mean I should allow her to humiliate me?"

"It's not that there is no way for you to exact revenge."

"You mean you have an idea, cousin?"

Xian Qingruo's eyes glimmer with viciousness as she saw at her cousin who still smiled.

"We really can't make a move on her but that's not the same with the people around her right?"

"You mean that bitch that is always on her side?" Xian Qingruo couldn't forget how she was slapped in front of many people by Snowy. Her gaze became cold and ruthless as she asked, "What you proposed?"

An evil smile appeared on Qingruo's lips as Xian Bu Yu tell her his whole plan.
