Nuonuo’s eyes lit up the instant she saw this sect.

This was a sect called Zi Wei Sect, with one peculiar trait: it only recruited women! Moreover, the sect focused primarily on physical training!

Given such conditions, recruiting disciples for this sect was naturally quite challenging. Moreover, the sect kept a low profile and didn’t even participate in this time’s Heavenly Punishment!

But of course, this didn’t mean the sect was weak. The fact that it could station itself on the Holy Mountain and had never been forced out proves the sect’s strength.

"Not bad, this sect suits you well!" Ye Luo said with a smile.

"I’m not going; I want to see Master every day!" Nuonuo said, pouting.

Ye Luo laughed, "Our trip to the South Territory is just one phase for us. Ultimately, we are going to leave. This time I have things to do at the sect. If you follow me, it would only waste your time. It would be better to go to the sect and learn some abilities; this would be good for your realm improvement!"

Nuonuo thought it over and slowly nodded, "Master is right; if one day you decide to leave the Sixth Region, and I’m not strong enough, I would be left behind!"

Ye Luo was taken aback for a moment, and it was indeed true!

His women were delayed in joining him because of realm issues.

However, though Nuonuo was from the Sixth Region, her realm was vastly different from Ye Luo’s, yet her talent was indeed outstanding.

Before Ye Luo could speak, Nuonuo jumped out.

"I want to join your Zi Wei Sect!"

Ye Luo was rendered speechless, thinking it was a bit overbearing.

After all, a sect had its own dignity. In the Inland, even if you were a disciple with remarkable talent, if you disrespected the sect, there was only a dead end.

According to Ye Luo’s thoughts, Nuonuo probably wouldn’t have any chance.

But then, something unexpected happened.

A woman suddenly approached and looked at Nuonuo.

"Do you know anything about our Zi Wei Sect?"

Nuonuo shook her head.

"Do you know what our Zi Wei Sect is best at?"

Nuonuo shook her head again.

"Then why do you want to join our Zi Wei Sect?"

"I want to become strong!"

"Alright, you are admitted. Take this Jade Token and report to the Zi Wei Sect tomorrow!"

Until the group left, Ye Luo was still in astonishment, slack-jawed.

Is that even possible?

"Master, what’s wrong? Did you fall for some woman?" Nuonuo shook his arm and called out.

Ye Luo then snapped out of it, "You got admitted so easily?"

"Yeah, what’s so hard about this?" Nuonuo asked, confused.

Ye Luo was speechless.

After eating at the tavern, the two returned to the inn.

There were some things Ye Luo needed to tell her.

"Take these cultivation resources. Even in Great Sects, you can’t have too many resources before your status stabilizes. So, if you want to cultivate rapidly, resources are indispensable!" Ye Luo handed her a Qiankun Ring.

Nuonuo took it immediately without being polite, after all, Ye Luo is her master.

Besides, Ye Luo also obtained a bit of that energy from the Fire Turkey, and from the robots at the base, he got a peculiar small bottle.

This bottle wasn’t ordinary; it could store that peculiar energy.

Of course, the amount it could store was limited. After all, this energy was too overbearing, and only the Empire of Zhongzhou’s technology could make such a sturdy bottle; even top-tier Magical Treasures might not have the same effect.

"Keep this thing safe; at critical moments, no matter what kind of expert you encounter, it can save your life!" Ye Luo said solemnly.

"Got it, Master, you do care for me!" Nuonuo giggled.

Then, Ye Luo explained to her some things to watch out for, as Nuonuo’s survival experience was nearly zero.

The next morning, Ye Luo went out with Nuonuo, though she was pouting, clearly showing some displeasure on her face.

"Master, what if I miss you!"

Ye Luo chuckled bitterly, "When you go to Zi Wei Sect this time, be sure to learn some skills. We’ll have plenty of chances to meet in the future!"

"Alright then!" Nuonuo finally smiled.

To their surprise, a few Zi Wei Sect disciples were already waiting for them at the street corner spot from the day before.

"Come with us; the Sect Master is waiting for you!"

Sect Master? Ye Luo frowned. If not for her protective measures, he wouldn’t have agreed to let her go.

"Master, don’t worry, I’ll go!"

With that, the disciples grabbed her, and with a leap, they left. In this town, there were special teleportation methods. Without the influence of rampant Power of Laws, teleportation wasn’t difficult.

Ye Luo sighed as he left Nuonuo; he really wasn’t used to it.

But he also understood it was time to make his way to the Wind Cloud Sect.

The Wind Cloud Sect was positioned at the mountaintop, where the Spiritual Energy was denser than in some places in Inland. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Moreover, that’s where only the Wind Cloud Sect, Divine Martial Sect, and Purple Manor stationed their forces, with a history stretching hundreds of years. In the South Territory, they were absolute major forces.

However, Ye Luo had to follow the ordinary procedures. After all, a sect like Zi Wei Sect was rare, admitting disciples after only a few irrelevant questions, which was too capricious.

In other sects, one had to register and go through multiple selection stages before becoming a formal disciple.

If not, one couldn’t even enter Mt. Sumeru.

At the registration point, the publicity for Wind Cloud Sect was naturally not weak, as good disciples were also pursued by other sects.

And coinciding with a time for recruitment, many young people had already gathered here.

In fact, many young people from small tribes or small forces were waiting for this day. Entering a Great Sect was a thought instilled in them by their elders from birth.

Thus, they worked hard on their cultivation, hoping to enter a Great Sect.

Every year for disciple selection, they all came here.

The first step, of course, was registration. This time’s selection was quite special; due to the repercussions of the Heavenly Punishment, each major power suffered heavy losses and urgently needed new blood to replenish. Therefore, this selection was conducted jointly by nearly a dozen powers.

This way, the reputation would be more prominent, and it would attract more young talented disciples.

Apart from this, numerous sects had special policies.

For example, the particularly outstanding could directly become Inner Sect Disciples!

Strictly speaking, Inner Sect Disciples of a sect were considered the true core and naturally had significantly different treatment.

Under these special policies, many talents began to get restless.

After all, the number of cultivators in sects was only a small fraction of the South Territory. The majority comprised those small powers and tribes, which were the true indigenous people of the South Territory.
