"Is it the Heavenly Level Sect?" Ye Feng was astonished. He had heard from his father, Ye Honglin, about the terrifying nature of the Heavenly Level Sect.
With over a hundred experts from the Xuanwu Realm stationed there, it was even possible that legendary figures from the Divine Martial Realm existed within. In the Eastern Continent, any Heavenly Level Sect could dominate a region, boasting a foundation of over ten thousand years, and no one dared to provoke them.
"That's right. I was not talented back then, but I barely managed to pass the entrance exam with a million participants and became an Outer Sect Disciple of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect." Ye Feng's astonished expression pleased Yang Xingye, who licked his somewhat dry lips and continued speaking.
"The Heavenly Mechanism Sect excels in various extraordinary techniques. The Spirit Pattern Technique is just one of its most famous branches. Besides the Spirit Pattern Technique, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect's Mechanism Puppet Technique, Yuan Formation Technique, and Refining Technique are also renowned throughout the Divine Martial Continent. Young Hero, with your outstanding talent, it would indeed be a pity if you couldn't enter a Heavenly Level Sect like the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. Only a Heavenly Level Sect can ensure that Young Hero does not waste his talent and can go further on the path of martial arts."
Ye Feng remained silent. Faced with such a powerful Heavenly Level Sect, it was impossible for him not to be tempted.
However, he had once been a disciple of the Dragon Tiger Sect. Joining another sect just like that felt somewhat inappropriate. Although due to the impending invasion of the demon race, the Dragon Tiger Sect was relocating as a whole, and it was uncertain whether they could establish themselves again in the Eastern Continent, he did not want to bear the stigma of betraying his sect without receiving definite news.
Yang Xingye was excited and, in conclusion, took out an ancient wooden token from his pocket and handed it to Ye Feng.
"Young Hero, I have here a Cloud Entry Token. With this Cloud Entry Token, Young Hero will qualify to participate in the Re-examination assessment. You can directly take part in the Re-examination ceremony held by the Heavenly Mechanism Sect three months later without waiting in line for the initial test." The token in his hand was worth its weight in gold, yet Yang Xingye unhesitatingly placed it into Ye Feng's hands.
For a Heavenly Level Sect like the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, each year's entrance examination would inevitably attract countless young martial artists. However, with billions of people across the Divine Martial Continent, there were millions of eligible young martial artists whenever any Heavenly Level Sect opened its doors for disciples. The initial tests alone could take months.
To prevent exceptionally talented disciples from wasting too much time on initial tests, sects like the Heavenly Mechanism Sect would selectively distribute some Cloud Entry Tokens. Young martial artists holding these tokens could skip the initial test and directly enter the latter two rounds of Re-examination.
The conditions for distributing Cloud Entry Tokens varied widely; the Heavenly Mechanism Sect would issue them based on different circumstances. Even so, those tokens that allowed holders to bypass initial tests and participate directly in subsequent Re-examinations were still highly sought after across the Divine Martial Continent. If sold on the market, they could fetch prices as high as a thousand taels of gold.
Yang Xingye had been an Outer Sect Disciple at the Heavenly Mechanism Sect for decades. He worked diligently; although he had no achievements to speak of due to insufficient talent and being dismissed after exceeding a certain period, he often received batches of Cloud Entry Tokens as rewards for Outer Sect Disciples like him.
As for how these dismissed Outer Sect Disciples handled their entry tokens, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect did not inquire about it; after all, it was a form of reward. Even if they exchanged them for gold, it would not be seen as strange.
Whether it was the Heavenly Mechanism Sect or other sects, they recognized tokens rather than individuals.
In addition to the Cloud Entry Token, some Sects also issue a more precious Ascension Token. Young warriors holding an Ascension Token can directly become Outer Sect Disciples of the Sect without any conditions. However, Heavenly Level Sects rarely issue such tokens, unless it is for families and forces that have made significant contributions to the Sect or for exceptionally talented young disciples who have already gained some fame in the Divine Martial Continent.
Ye Feng found it hard to refuse Yang Xingye's kindness and repeatedly thanked him after receiving the token.
Yang Xingye did not feel it was a loss; instead, he believed he had accomplished a great feat for the Heavenly Mechanism Sect by finding a talented disciple like Ye Feng.
Even among Heavenly Level Sects, there is competition. The Three Great Heavenly-Level Sects of the Sky Abyss Empire hold their entrance examinations almost in the same month each year, simply to compete for those talented disciples.
As for Earth-Level Sects and Human-Level Sects, they can only reluctantly adjust their recruitment dates to avoid overlapping with the Heavenly Level Sects, as these Sects are far more attractive to young warriors.
"There is a small port on the northern shore of Forgotten River Island. If Young Hero wishes to go to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, you can leave this island from this port. The passenger ship will make brief stops at several small islands along the way and will eventually dock at a port city in the Sky Abyss Empire called Linyuan City. After disembarking, Young Hero can head north and inquire a bit to find out where the Heavenly Mechanism Sect is located."
Yang Xingye seemed somewhat uneasy and provided detailed instructions on how to reach the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.
To avoid dampening his enthusiasm, Ye Feng secretly smiled wryly while maintaining a facade of being pleasantly surprised.
After noon, Ye Feng politely declined the villagers' invitations and returned alone to the cave where his family was located.
Along the way, Ye Feng's thoughts were unsettled. Joining the Heavenly Mechanism Sect was indeed a good choice; only by joining it could he enter the realm of high-level warriors in the Divine Martial Continent and access a broader world. Otherwise, as merely a lone warrior at the Gangwu Realm level, there was not much he could learn or experience.
Going back to search for Dragon Tiger Sect was certainly unrealistic. The area of Eastern Continent exceeded his imagination, and he had no information about where the members of Dragon Tiger Sect were currently located or which country they were in. Searching aimlessly would only waste a lot of time.
"I should go back and discuss it with my father," Ye Feng sighed deeply, spreading his arms wide as he soared into the air like a great roc, heading straight for the nearby mountains.
Inside the cave, apart from his father Ye Honglin, some clan members at the late stage of Origin Martial Realm had already recovered from their discomfort after long-distance teleportation. Upon seeing Ye Feng arrive, their eyes lit up, and they all came forward to greet him.
After returning the courtesy, Ye Feng approached his father and grandfather, quietly expressing his thoughts.
"Leaving Dragon Tiger Sect to join Heavenly Mechanism Sect?" Seeing his grandson's hesitant expression, Ye Zhentian and Ye Honglin exchanged a knowing smile.
Ye Feng couldn't help but mutter to himself, did they already anticipate this kind of trouble?
"Silly boy, your sect leader and your master have already foreseen this matter," Ye Honglin slowly took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Ye Feng.
"The sect leader and master have already guessed?" Ye Feng took the letter and hurriedly opened it to read.
Ye Honglin smiled and said, "Your master, Bai Chengfeng, had already anticipated that this might happen. In fact, even if you went to the Eastern Continent with them, Bai Chengfeng had planned to let you go, allowing you to leave the sect in search of broader prospects. After all, with your current strength, there isn't much left for Dragon Tiger Sect to teach you."
Ye Zhentian nodded in agreement, saying, "Joining another sect does not mean you are betraying Dragon Tiger Sect. In Divine Martial Continent, such occurrences are not uncommon. Often, when a disciple's cultivation and strength surpass that of their sect, the higher-ups will choose to let go, granting that disciple the status of an honorary elder. They only need to assist the sect when it is in dire straits."
After reading all the contents of the letter, Ye Feng sighed lightly and tucked it away.
Just as Grandpa Ye Zhentian said, this letter was co-signed by Bai Chengfeng and Bai Qiufeng. It not only pointed out potential risks for the Ye Family but also made some arrangements for matters after entering the Eastern Continent. It granted Ye Feng the position of honorary elder so that he wouldn't have to worry too much about the sect and could freely join other more powerful sects.
The letter also indicated that Dragon Tiger Sect would settle in Ice Cloud Empire, suggesting that if he had the opportunity, he could visit them. If the journey was too far, he shouldn't feel pressured about it.
"So Master and the sect leader had already foreseen this matter," Ye Feng felt relieved and began to formulate a plan.
"Once I stabilize my family and establish myself in Heavenly Mechanism Sect, I will find an opportunity to visit Ice Cloud Empire. I must ensure that no one provokes Dragon Tiger Sect; otherwise, even if I have to chase them to the ends of the earth, I will eliminate them on the spot!"
A glint of cold killing intent flashed in his eyes as Ye Feng calmed his emotions and turned to his father and grandfather to briefly explain the current situation regarding Forgotten River Island.
Upon learning that Ye Feng had just gone through a fierce battle and saved a nearby village in the process, Ye Honglin and Ye Zhentian exchanged glances.
"This place is indeed unusual. Hidden within this small village is an Outer Sect Disciple of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. Although their cultivation level is not high, the Spirit Patterns you mentioned are truly remarkable. It is no wonder they are part of a Heavenly Level Sect!" Ye Zhentian exclaimed in surprise.
"Feng Er, you should not miss the opportunity with the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. Only within such a Sect can you achieve better development and go further on the path of martial arts," Ye Honglin advised.
"Don't worry, Feng Er knows what to do!" Ye Feng confidently replied.
The next day, after all the clan members had recovered, Ye Feng led everyone to Qingyang Village.
Due to Ye Feng's presence, the villagers of Qingyang Village were extremely courteous to the Ye Family Members. They brought out prepared food and drinks, hosting a grand banquet that allowed the hungry clan members to feast heartily.
After the banquet, two nearby villages heard the news and came over to greet them. Although the cultivation levels of the Ye Family Members were generally much higher, everyone wore smiles and behaved politely, showing no signs of arrogance. This reassured the other two villages, alleviating their concerns about any potential threat from the Ye Family Members.
"With you all here, our villages no longer have to fear the Sea Demon Tide!" Yang Xingye said excitedly as he acted as a liaison between the Ye Family and the other two villages.
"That's right! With so many high-level martial artists, even the Zhuangjia of Lanling Town cannot match this strength. We no longer have to worry about being bullied by those Sea Demons," said Liao Zhonghai, the village chief of Qingfeng Village, with a beaming smile.
