Old Five is a Goose.

Chapter 1004 I Don't Want to Acknowledge a Senior Brother

After Yu Nuode finished stating this rule, he waited for a moment before continuing, "Besides this rule, entering the Nirvana Learning Palace also requires completing tasks. No matter which place you join, you must go to the Nirvana Learning Palace's Mission Hall to complete the tasks assigned to you. The number of tasks and rules can be found in your respective identity jade tokens."

"The Nirvana Learning Palace is the most open-minded. You can freely choose a place here and join any faction. Of course, you can also choose not to join any place and just be an ordinary outer disciple of the Nirvana Learning Palace. Everyone, remember that only after reaching the Divine Lord stage can you become an inner disciple after entering the Nirvana Learning Palace. Alright, now please call out the first place winner, Ji Feiyan."

Ji Feiyan was already standing in first place. Upon hearing his name called, he walked directly in front of Yu Nuode.

Yu Nuode took out a ring and handed it to Ji Feiyan, "Inside the ring is your Nirvana Learning Palace disciple identity token, which includes a gift of 500 Nirvana points from the Nirvana Learning Palace. Nirvana points from the Nirvana Learning Palace can be exchanged in both the Nirvana Learning Palace and Nirvana Dao City."

"You have obtained first place and can enter the Land of the Gods for one year of cultivation. You possess a Dao Fruit and three opportunities to enter the Nirvana River for enlightenment. You also have one opportunity to listen to a Dao discussion on Harmony with the Divine, and one opportunity to go to the Scripture Pavilion to choose a supernatural power cultivation method. These are your rewards. Which place do you choose to join?"

Ji Feiyan accepted the ring and respectfully bowed, saying, "This disciple comes from Starshade Mountain, so I will still choose to join Starshade Mountain."

"Very well, are there any other disciples joining Starshade Mountain? You can come forward together to receive your Learning Palace identities and then enter the formation gate." Yu Nuode pressed a button beside the teleportation formation gate, and three words appeared above the teleportation formation: Starshade Mountain.

There was no second person entering Starshade Mountain. Although Starshade Mountain was powerful, only Ji Feiyan came out of the top five hundred.

After Ji Feiyan entered the teleportation formation gate, the teleportation formation flickered a few times, and Ji Feiyan disappeared along with the teleportation formation.

Mo Wuji thought to himself, "This Nirvana Learning Palace is indeed openly managed." However, it also indicated the looseness of the Nirvana Learning Palace. The Nirvana Learning Palace had stood on the Divine Continent for so many years and become a benchmark for the Divine Continent. It was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface. If it was really as Yu Nuode said, no matter how many Divine Harmonization experts the Nirvana Learning Palace had, it would eventually only lead to destruction.

"Second place, Xu Ze, come forward to receive your rewards and tell me where you want to join." After Ji Feiyan was teleported away, Yu Nuode continued to call out.

Xu Ze came from the Cultivator's Guild, and after receiving his rewards, no one joined him in joining the Cultivator's Guild either.

Five hundred people seemed like a lot, but in reality, these five hundred people were selected from the entire Divine Continent's Upper Divine Lands. There were far more than five hundred major sects and powerful forces in the Upper Divine Lands, so each force could basically only produce one person. Two appearing would already be considered an anomaly.

Third place, Si Kongmao, from the Divine Sabre Palace, still teleported away alone after receiving his rewards.

Mo Wuji discovered that the Nirvana points gifted to Ji Feiyan in first place were 500, while the Nirvana points for second place were 499, and the Nirvana points gifted for third place were 498. Extrapolating from this, it seemed he could receive 479 Nirvana points. He wondered how useful these Nirvana points were and would ask about it at the Mission Hall later.

"Fourth place, Bai Yue, come forward to receive your rewards and tell me where you choose to join?" Yu Nuode's tone seemed somewhat perfunctory.

A young cultivator wearing coarse linen clothes walked out. This young man had an ordinary appearance, and one couldn't tell there was anything special about him.

Mo Wuji had seen the rankings display and knew that Bai Yue was a rogue cultivator like him. What he wondered was how Bai Yue had obtained a jade token from the Rogue Cultivator Alliance.

After Bai Yue received the ring of rewards, he respectfully replied, "This disciple chooses to join Immortal Mortal Land!"

Yu Nuode, who had been expressionless all along, was stunned for a moment upon hearing Bai Yue say he wanted to join Immortal Mortal Land. Not only was he stunned, but everyone in the hall was stunned.

How could anyone still join Immortal Mortal Land? This was too outrageous, right?

Mo Wuji also hadn't expected that Bai Yue would think the same way as him and want to join Immortal Mortal Land. Could it be that this guy was also cultivating the Immortal Mortal Art? It didn't seem like it though. This guy was surrounded by spiritual charm, obviously with good spiritual root aptitude.

"You want to join Immortal Mortal Land?" Yu Nuode almost thought he had misheard and repeated the question.

Bai Yue bowed and said, "Yes, this disciple is willing to join Immortal Mortal Land."

Yu Nuode had already recovered his senses and still explained, "There's no one in Immortal Mortal Land now, and the divine spiritual energy there is the worst in the entire Nirvana Learning Palace. After you go there, no one will teach you any divine power techniques. Are you sure you still want to join Immortal Mortal Land?"

Bai Yue still bowed and said, "Yes, this disciple is sure he wants to join Immortal Mortal Land."

Yu Nuode nodded, "This is your freedom. Go to the teleportation formation. By the way, is there anyone else who wants to join Immortal Mortal Land?"

For Yu Nuode, Bai Yue joining Immortal Mortal Land alone was already the first strange occurrence in the Nirvana Learning Palace in so many years. As for a second person joining Immortal Mortal Land, there definitely wouldn't be one. However, it was his duty to call out anyway.

Everyone else also thought that no one would join Immortal Mortal Land, but unexpectedly, someone stood up again at this moment and said, "This disciple is willing to join Immortal Mortal Land."

Yu Nuode was somewhat petrified, and everyone else was completely baffled as to what was going on. Could it be that there were treasures appearing in Immortal Mortal Land? That was why people were joining Immortal Mortal Land one after another?

The one who spoke was Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji had come for Immortal Mortal Land in the first place, so he would naturally choose to join Immortal Mortal Land.

However, Mo Wuji also didn't know that there was no one in Immortal Mortal Land now. Even Chi Kun, who had initially told Mo Wuji about Immortal Mortal Land, didn't understand the situation there. When he told Mo Wuji that he could go to Immortal Mortal Land if he had the opportunity, it was completely idle talk.

First, he was certain that Mo Wuji wouldn't be able to enter the Nirvana Learning Palace, so casual conversation was just that. Second, even if Mo Wuji really entered the Nirvana Learning Palace, unless Mo Wuji was being obtuse, he would never join Immortal Mortal Land.

"You also want to join Immortal Mortal Land?" Yu Nuode asked after a long while.

Even Bai Yue was looking at Mo Wuji with surprise, not understanding why Mo Wuji also wanted to join Immortal Mortal Land. Could it be because he admired him? But he didn't even know Mo Wuji.

"Yes, this disciple confirms that he wants to join Immortal Mortal Land," Mo Wuji said affirmatively.

"Alright, what's your name?" Yu Nuode didn't ask further. As long as they passed the assessment and entered the Nirvana Learning Palace, disciples were free to join whichever faction they wanted.

Mo Wuji bowed and said, "This disciple is Rogue Cultivator 2705."

Rogue Cultivator 2705 was very famous in Nirvana Dao City, but no one here really knew him. The only thing they knew was that this Rogue Cultivator 2705 had good results and was in the top thirty in the overall assessment.

So, when Mo Wuji gave his name, no one was too surprised. What surprised everyone was that this Rogue Cultivator had finally entered the Nirvana Learning Palace, but he wanted to join Immortal Mortal Land.

Mo Wuji was Rogue Cultivator 2705? Even Lin Yun almost cried out in surprise, and it took him a while to react. He didn't know Mo Wuji, but he knew Rogue Cultivator 2705, who was ranked twenty-second overall. He slapped his head in annoyance. He thought Mo Wuji was just an existence ranked close to five hundred, but he hadn't expected him to be ranked in the top thirty.

In this kind of assessment, being ranked in the top thirty was definitely a powerhouse among powerhouses.

Yu Nuode looked at the jade slip in his hand and said with some surprise, "Rogue Cultivator 2705, you are ranked twenty-second?"

Mo Wuji bowed and said, "Yes, this junior is indeed ranked twenty-second."

Yu Nuode looked at Bai Yue on the side again, thinking to himself how these rogue cultivators were so powerful. He handed a ring to Mo Wuji and said, "These are your things. Inside the ring are your sect clothing, identity token, and sect Nirvana points. You and Bai Yue will enter the teleportation formation together and head to Immortal Mortal Land."

After Mo Wuji also walked into the teleportation formation, Yu Nuode pressed the button on the side again. The words "Immortal Mortal Land" appeared above the teleportation formation, and a faint light enveloped Mo Wuji and Bai Yue, causing them to disappear simultaneously.

...

In just an instant, Mo Wuji and Bai Yue landed. What dumbfounded them was that the place they were in was a desolate sandy land. In the middle of the sandy land stood a mottled and weathered stone tablet, and one could vaguely see the words on the stone tablet: Immortal Mortal Land.

Besides this stone tablet, there were also a few dilapidated houses. Just as the two of them landed, the houses were turned into fragments due to the spatial fluctuations.

Previously, Mo Wuji had heard Chi Kun say that there were still two or three people in Immortal Mortal Land. Only after arriving here did Mo Wuji realize that Chi Kun didn't know the situation here at all.

Beyond Immortal Mortal Land were mountains and rivers, but it was clear that those mountains and rivers had nothing to do with Immortal Mortal Land. Just as Yu Nuode had said, the divine spiritual energy here was very thin.

Bai Yue withdrew his gaze and focused it on Mo Wuji, saying in a calmer tone, "Let's get to know each other again. My name is Bai Yue, a true rogue cultivator. You must have a name, and shouldn't just be called Rogue Cultivator 2705, right?"

Mo Wuji nodded and said, "My name is Mo Wuji, also a true rogue cultivator."

Bai Yue hmm'd and said with a slightly serious expression, "Since there are only the two of us in Immortal Mortal Land now, how about this? I'm the senior brother, and you're the junior brother. Of course, if you have any questions you don't understand, you can ask me."

Mo Wuji said indifferently, "I don't have any questions I don't understand, and I don't want to acknowledge a senior brother. Immortal Mortal Land is so big, you do your things, and I'll do my things."

Mo Wuji had come here to find traces of the Seed of Emperor, because his inheritance was the Immortal Mortal Art. If Bai Yue had originally been from Immortal Mortal Land, calling him senior brother wouldn't have mattered. Bai Yue was just like him, having just arrived. He didn't know what Bai Yue's purpose for coming here was, and Mo Wuji didn't want to acknowledge such a cheap senior brother.
