Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Regardless of the turmoil in the outside world, within the Immortal Demon Sect, life continued in its usual orderly fashion.

In the past, to guard against an attack from the Martial Hero Hall, the Demon Heaven Old Ancestor had set up many pavilions, guard posts, and hidden sentries around the mountain gate. However, since the internal strife within the Martial Hero Hall, they no longer had the energy to harass the Immortal Demon Sect. As a result, these pavilions, guard posts, and hidden sentries gradually lost their purpose, until finally, the Demon Heaven Old Ancestor simply removed them all.

From then on, the Immortal Demon Sect ushered in a rare period of peace.

On the other hand, Chen Tian had previously used extremely despicable means to swindle a large number of natural treasures from sects such as the Sea Ripple Sect, Dragon Court Pavilion, Cao Family, Ningyuan Sect, and Flower容 Hall. As these materials gradually arrived, the strength of the Immortal Demon Sect suddenly increased by a large margin.

It could be said that the current Immortal Demon Sect had money and land, but the only thing lacking was people.

However, precisely because they had the confidence, Han Wuming and the Demon Heaven Old Ancestor were able to let go and recruit talents. In just over ten years, they increased the number of disciples of the Immortal Demon Sect from the previous one thousand to the current three thousand.

If judged solely on strength, the current Immortal Demon Sect already had the scale of a super sect.

However, with the increase in the number of people, various miscellaneous matters within the sect also increased. Because Chen Tian had granted the Demon Heaven Old Ancestor and Han Wuming the power to make decisions on the spot before going into seclusion, these matters ultimately had to be handled by them, which made them extremely busy all day long, without even time to catch their breath.

But despite this, the Demon Heaven Old Ancestor and Han Wuming did not complain, after all, it represented that the Immortal Demon Sect was rapidly rising and joining the ranks of the top sects in the cultivation world. This gave them a strong sense of accomplishment.

Especially Han Wuming, who used to be lazy whenever he could, and indifferent to everything, but now he was very different. Because he was in charge of nearly a thousand disciples, the feeling of being surrounded and flattered by everyone all day long made him feel elated.

You should know that in the past, he was the one who flattered Chen Tian, but now, many people were vying to flatter him. How could this not make him happy?

This was a very wonderful feeling, and unknowingly, Han Wuming had come to like such a good life.

Today, Han Wuming was the same. According to the rules, the Immortal Demon Sect held a new disciple competition every year, and Han Wuming, as this year's chief judge, would be present in person.

"Greetings, Sect Leader Han!"

Just as Han Wuming stepped onto the square, the new disciples, neatly arranged around, bowed in unison, erupting in a greeting like a roaring mountain and tsunami.

Although Han Wuming's position in the Immortal Demon Sect was only Grand Priest, the vain he secretly asked everyone to call him 'Sect Leader Han'. In this way, it seemed that he was really the Sect Leader of the Immortal Demon Sect, which he quite enjoyed!

The crowd understood Han Wuming's personality, so in order to please him, they naturally rushed to flatter him.

Hearing the loud 'Sect Leader Han' three words like a mountain, Han Wuming's heart was filled with joy. He stepped on the ground with his left foot, and the whole person immediately rose into the air, crossed over the heads of the crowd, and floated directly to the viewing platform on the second floor of the square.

The whole action was done in one go, majestic and awe-inspiring, revealing the intention of pretending to be forceful in the invisible!

"Sect Leader Han, it is an honor for us that you can take the time out of your busy schedule to come here! I think these new disciples will also be inspired by you, so as to exert a stronger and better performance!" Just as Han Wuming had just settled down, beside him, an Immortal Demon Sect elder immediately flattered.

Although this person's flattery skills were not as good as Han Wuming's, they were also quite good. Han Wuming was overjoyed and smiled with satisfaction: "Oh, caring for the new disciples of this sect is also the duty of my Grand Priest, so how can there be any talk of hard work? Only when they grow up can my Immortal Demon Sect be invincible for generations. These children are all the hope of our future. Compared with them, what is my little hard work?"

"Yes, yes, Sect Leader Han's teachings are extremely correct! After hearing your words, this subordinate suddenly became enlightened and benefited a lot. This subordinate feels that you are like the sea-stabilizing needle in our Immortal Demon Sect. With you, our Immortal Demon Sect will surely continue to carry forward."

After nodding and bowing again and flattering, the man suddenly shook his sleeves, took out a cyan storage pouch, and whispered to Han Wuming: "Sect Leader Han, in order to thank you for recommending me to take charge of the three spiritual mines in Beishan last time, this little something is just my respect for you."

Saying that, the man quietly stuffed the storage pouch in his hand into Han Wuming's arms.

Han Wuming took it and looked at it, and found that it was full of sparkling immortal crystal stones, and the quality was excellent, and the number was as many as tens of thousands.

"Elder Wang, you are wrong to do this! The reason why I recommended you was because I valued your talent and acted impartially. Do you really think that Han will covet your little gadgets?"

However, at this time, Han Wuming suddenly put on a serious face, lowered his voice, and shouted angrily as if reprimanding.

"Ah... I... This... Sect Leader Han... I..."

Seeing Han Wuming's suddenly gloomy face, the man was immediately startled, stuttering and not knowing what to say, and his body trembled because of extreme fear.

Han Wuming looked at his appearance, and the originally serious face instantly stretched out again, smiling: "Of course, the old man is not an unreasonable person, I know that you are doing this out of good intentions, if so, then the old man will reluctantly accept it, but there will be no next time, do you understand?"

Saying that, Han Wuming quietly put the storage pouch full of immortal crystal stones into his sleeve.

The new disciples in the square were already eager to move at this time, so after hearing his words, they immediately dispersed and fought each other in pairs.

Unlike ordinary sects, the competition rules of the Immortal Demon Sect are extremely simple, that is, to keep fighting, defeat everyone on the field, and when there is only one left, this person is the champion.

Although this rule is simple and rude, it is the most in line with the law of survival of the weak and the strong in the cultivation world, and it is considered a training for them to contact the cultivation world in advance.

After all, living in a greenhouse forever will never bloom the most gorgeous flowers, only by experiencing wind and rain can we highlight strength.

And these new disciples have obviously already adapted to this rule, so as soon as the battle began, they took the initiative to find targets and worked hard to fight, all wanting to show their cultivation results of the past year in front of Han Wuming.

"Yawn... These little ghosts, although they look smart on the surface, they are really far behind Chen Tian of the same age... Boring, boring..."

Although he repeatedly said that he wanted to care for the next generation, when Han Wuming really watched this 'childish' performance, he was quite bored and yawned again and again.

In Han Wuming's mind, all these people added together are not as good as Chen Tian in those years. Watching them compete is like playing house.

Of course, even so, these people are still much stronger than the newcomers in other sects, and this is also the key to the rapid rise of the Immortal Demon Sect in recent years.

After watching for a while, Han Wuming was completely uninterested, so under boredom, his eyes could not help but wander around the sky.

And at this moment, a thick black mist, like a storm, rolled in from a distance.

Inside, there was a terrifying killing intent!
