In the cramped room, Cao Xinghua sat in front of the computer with dull eyes.
His life has been full of ups and downs recently...
A top student who graduated from Anhu University, joined a well-known company, climbed to a high position in just two years, owned a car, a house, and had young and beautiful friends, and became a winner in life like he is now...
He was framed in his career. Not only was he resigned from his company, and he was unable to hold his own in the industry, he also had to pay a large amount of default fees. The house and car he just bought with a mortgage loan were all mortgaged.
Even the female supporters have followed the rich second generation.
Oh, this can't be counted recently. The female ticket actually turned against him a long time ago, but he didn't know it.
Thinking of this, Cao Xinghua stared with lifeless salty eyes and clicked the mouse to browse job search websites mechanically.
He didn't see anything until...
A large pop-up window that takes up two-thirds of the screen appears:
"Want to understand the meaning of life, do you want to truly...live?"
A dozen bright fonts stimulated his nerves.
There was a little sparkle in Cao Xinghua's godless eyes, and inexplicably, he pressed "Yes".
Immediately,
Wow~
The computer screen swung open like water ripples, and a website with exquisite images appeared.
Immortal gate!
Cultivate your mind, pursue life, and control your destiny...
Here, you can throw away the troubles of the floating world and pursue the ultimate in life.
The background music is echoing, and when you look down from a high altitude, surrounded by mountains and gurgling water, just looking at the picture gives you a refreshing feeling.
Due to the official agreement with Anxia, the real power of awakened people is not exposed on the website. The "Xianmen" is just an unusual secular sect.
Just like the sects in Anxia, there are no part-time tourist attractions.
However, what Anxia officials don't know is that although the video materials on the website do not reveal any special power, the design of the entire website itself, including background music, text, and pictures, is the manifestation of special power.
Using many techniques such as runes, illusions, and music, even if only a small amount of power can be exerted through the network, it is enough to change some things.
Cao Xinghua, who was at the lowest point in his life, was gradually attracted.
It turned out to be a sect and a place for "cultivation".
Staying away from the world and seeking inner peace... exactly attracted Cao Xinghua.
He saw that it was written on the website that the Immortal Sect's apprenticeship ceremony would be held in three days.
"Why don't you... go take a look?"
He came up with the idea of escaping from the world.
-The premise is that the Immortal Sect is really as stated on the website.
Cao Xinghua had never heard of the name "Xianmen". He knew very little about the sects of Anxia Kingdom, but he saw a picture on the website. The content was from the national newspaper two days ago, which published an article about the Immortal Sect. thing.
He checked and found out that it was indeed the case.
Although it occupies a small space, with the endorsement of the state, this sect must not be fake.
Cao Xinghua made up his mind.
…
It’s May 1st in the Anxi calendar and it’s cloudy.
this day,
The Xianmen office in Anhu welcomed many unfamiliar faces.
It is said to be an office, but it is actually a building with more than ten floors. Even if it is not in the city center, land is still expensive. However, Xianmen rented the entire building, fully demonstrating what it means to be wealthy.
A famous person once said:
"Whether an organization is strong or not is not the most important thing. What is important is to have a name that is high enough, and a facade that is equally high-level."
Tang Yu also believed that anything that could be solved with money was no big deal.
really,
Many "seekers" who came from far away were also a little surprised in their eyes.
The office in Anhu is not the place where the apprenticeship ceremony is held, it is just a gathering place.
at this time,
Tang Yu and Shang Gong Ling were staying in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window on the highest floor of the building, looking out the window.
"Is there any problem with manpower?"
"Well, the simulated puppets provided by the master are very easy to use, and they also hired a professional management team. Even if the number of people is several times larger, there will be no trouble."
Up to the time of departure, the number registered was five hundred and thirty-two.
He was sure that many of these people had ulterior motives, but to be able to reach the end and truly become a member of the Immortal Sect, talent, moral character, and loyalty were all indispensable.
A dozen buses set off.
After driving for more than three minutes, we finally stopped at the village closest to Xianmen.
"The first item in the Immortal Sect's apprenticeship assessment is to start from here and walk through more than ten kilometers of mountains and forests to reach the real location of the Immortal Sect."
A middle-aged man in sportswear shouted with a loudspeaker.
He is one of the personnel who assisted in the assessment and is also the main person in charge.
But this was the first time that Rao had received countless orders from Xiang Jinghong's team to assist in the sect's assessment.
He knows the assessment process well.
only,
Xiang Jinghong was very doubtful. After several levels, would anyone really be able to make it to the end...or would he be willing to make it to the end
Sure enough, when they heard that they needed to hike through more than ten kilometers of mountains and forests, many people's expressions changed, and some even cursed.
After Xiang Jinghong waited for the scolding to subside, he followed the request and said, "If you don't want to, you can take the bus back to Anhu. However, those who give up voluntarily will lose the opportunity to join the Immortal Sect forever."
"Bah! Are you kidding us? Who wants to join your immortal sect!"
A tall, 1.89-meter-tall man was cursing and looking at Xiang Jinghong's team with an unfavorable expression. Only when he saw that there were many security personnel wearing sunglasses did the strong man turn around and board the bus with an unhappy expression.
After a while, more than thirty people left.
This is the first level, to get rid of some people who are weak-minded or simply joking.
Cao Xinghua stood in the crowd, inconspicuous.
He was not disappointed, but even more interested.
The office and entrance examination all showed that "Xianmen" was not ordinary, not a casual sect... Cao Xinghua's only worry now was whether he could pass the examination.
More than thirty people were screened out, leaving nearly five hundred "seekers" who marched toward the mountains and forests.
Cao Xinghua was in the middle and later stages. He didn't go too fast, but tried to conserve his energy - more than ten kilometers of mountain forest was not easy to pass through, not to mention that this was only the first level of assessment.
He saw red ropes tied to many big trees in the forest, and knew that this was a reference. There were road signs erected some distance away, which read "There are still ** kilometers away from the Immortal Gate."
It was not hot in the lush mountain forest, but from time to time it was necessary to cross obstacles and push aside branches or bushes. After walking only a few kilometers, Cao Xinghua began to breathe a little.
Xiang Jinghong is much more relaxed. He often runs long distances and climbs mountains, and he is still able to do it with ease. He is holding a walkie-talkie to direct the operation of the entire team.
Most of their team followed the team into the mountains. Security personnel were responsible for guarding against possible wild beast attacks. Medical staff were ready to treat them at any time. There were also photographers carrying cameras to record every detail of the team entering the mountains.
Very professional and worth the cost of their employment.
