(Chapter 889) Mo Wuji's first reaction was to quickly refuse. His cultivation of the Immortal Mortal Technique and pioneering of meridian cultivation methods were his most secret affairs. Exposing such things would bring disaster.

However, Mo Wuji thought again that he couldn't refuse. Since this person had seen through his defying the heavens and pioneering the way of mortal cultivation, even if he left, he would likely be targeted.

"Hurry up and say, are you willing to become an inner disciple of my Heavenly Mortal Sect?" The old man's tone grew more urgent.

Mo Wuji cautiously asked, "Will there be some sort of qualification or spiritual root test later?"

Wei Jie glared, "Could Wei Jie's judgment be so poor? Absolutely no further testing is needed. I say you are definitely a genius, with top-notch aptitude."

Hearing this, Mo Wuji had no choice but to say, "Then okay..."

As soon as these three words were spoken, Wei Jie pulled Mo Wuji to the young woman and said, "This is an inner disciple of my Heavenly Mortal Sect. Give him the items for inner disciples..."

Mo Wuji was somewhat stunned. Did they not value him that much? After hearing that he had joined the Heavenly Mortal Sect, this was their attitude? Was this how the Heavenly Mortal Sect treated a first-rate genius?

At this point, Mo Wuji already knew that the other party hadn't seen that he was cultivating the mortal path. He had been fooled. He was deceived because he knew he was definitely cultivating faster than those so-called geniuses. The old swindler's words were true, and that caused this misunderstanding. If he weren't cultivating the mortal path, he would have known that from the old swindler's first words.

Knowing that the other party was deceiving him, Mo Wuji felt a bit relieved. He'd rather be fooled by this old swindler than have his mortal path seen through.

"What's your name? What's your cultivation level?" The woman in charge of registration at the Heavenly Mortal Sect had a very clear voice and spoke gently.

Mo Wuji was about to answer when he heard Wei Jie excitedly say, "Ah, I can be sure you are the most talented cultivator here. Your bones are simply too good… It's a pity your aptitude and spiritual roots are hidden, and no one can discover them. As long as you come to my Heavenly Mortal Sect, I guarantee you will be an inner disciple, no, even a true disciple is within reach..."

Mo Wuji turned his head and saw Wei Jie grabbing an ordinary cultivator, his eyes gleaming as he babbled incessantly.

Looking at the old swindler's appearance, even Mo Wuji, who had already known he was being tricked, almost spat out a mouthful of blood. There was actually such an old swindler in God Domain. It was laughable that he had actually thought he had been seen through.

At this moment, he seemed to see a scene: an old man holding all kinds of martial arts manuals, grabbing a child and shouting, "Ah, I see you have extraordinary bones and are gifted. I have here the Dragon Grasping Nine Bone Claw. In the future, maintaining the peace of the universe will depend on you..."

Unfortunately, not everyone was like Mo Wuji and could be deceived. The cultivator grabbed by Wei Jie directly said, "I don't want to join the Heavenly Mortal Sect."

Wei Jie could only let go and rub his hands, saying, "What a pity, what a pity, a body of bones turned ordinary."

Seeing that Mo Wuji hadn't spoken, the woman asked Mo Wuji again. Mo Wuji could only sigh and say, "My name is Mo Wuji, and my cultivation is very low. Moreover, my primordial spirit and spiritual roots have been damaged, so I'm afraid I..."

"It doesn't matter. Rest assured, join my Heavenly Mortal Sect. Even the most ordinary person in my Heavenly Mortal Sect can cultivate to be extraordinary. Of course, because your primordial spirit and spiritual roots have been damaged, you can only become an inner disciple..." Hearing Mo Wuji's words, Wei Jie turned back and said with a chuckle. But he didn't finish his sentence, as he seemed to have discovered another genius with extraordinary bones and quickly chased after them.

Mo Wuji asked in confusion, "Senior sister, can I still join the inner sect even though my primordial spirit and spiritual roots have been damaged?"

The woman nodded. "Yes, if Elder Wei Jie says you can, then you can."

"Then I agree. May I ask what senior sister is called?" Mo Wuji said without hesitation. The Nine Transformations God Sect had separate residences even for outer disciples. Even if the Heavenly Mortal Sect's inner disciples were slightly inferior, they shouldn't be worse than the Nine Transformations God Sect, right?

"My name is Su Xia. This is your inner disciple token. Wait here first. After the disciple recruitment is complete, we will return to the sect together." Su Xia handed Mo Wuji a token. The token was actually made of wood, and Mo Wuji couldn't tell what material it was. He could only sigh that even in the cultivation world, disciple tokens were mostly jade tablets.

In any case, inexplicably becoming an inner disciple was ultimately a good thing.

Mo Wuji walked to the Heavenly Mortal Sect disciples' resting area. There were already four disciples sitting here, presumably recruited before Mo Wuji.

"Junior brother? How are you an inner disciple?" Seeing Mo Wuji coming over with a disciple token, a woman with slightly dark skin asked in confusion.

Mo Wuji replied, equally puzzled, "Aren't you inner disciples?"

"I am a true disciple." The woman took out a wooden token and said.

"I am a core disciple."

"I am also a true disciple..."

After all four took out their tokens, Mo Wuji realized that he was the only inner disciple. This genius with extraordinary bones was, in the end, just an inner disciple.

Fortunately, Mo Wuji didn't care too much. He laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "It's better than an outer disciple."

Hearing Mo Wuji's words, the four looked at each other for a while, all speechless. After a long time, the dark-skinned woman said in a low voice, "The Heavenly Mortal Sect does not have outer disciples, only direct disciples, core disciples, true disciples, and inner disciples."

Hearing this sentence, Mo Wuji stared at the old swindler Wei Jie, who was in front pulling a cultivator and looking excited, and felt that his whole person was not well.

The others could all see that Mo Wuji was in a bad mood and tried to comfort him.

Fortunately, Mo Wuji didn't care much. Soon, he got to know a few senior brothers and sisters. The dark-skinned woman was called Yin Lin, the brown-haired one was called Pu Jia, the slightly chubby senior sister was called Ai Dong'er, and the tallest one was called Zhai Butong.

All four were rogue cultivators, also taking advantage of this opportunity to join a sect during the God Domain sect recruitment period. Unfortunately, the four had limited aptitude, and cultivating to the Raising God realm was already their peak. Not to mention finding a God Lattice Sculpt, even if they found one, with their aptitude, they might not be able to step into the Heavenly God realm.

Because their aptitudes were all very average, the four searched around and finally had no choice but to join this Heavenly Mortal Sect.

Perhaps because Mo Wuji looked relatively poor, after all, he was only carrying a storage bag, the few were more considerate of Mo Wuji's emotions when they spoke.

…

Three more days passed, and the sect recruitment ended. Even though Wei Jie of the Heavenly Mortal Sect was still praising bones, after Mo Wuji, he only recruited one more disciple. This was a female cultivator who didn't look very old, even a little girl. The little girl's name was very strange, called Ku Cai.

Mo Wuji didn't know her aptitude, but Mo Wuji saw her hesitating for a long time at the registration points of other sects, seeming afraid to go forward and ask. She walked to the Heavenly Mortal Sect and was pulled over by Wei Jie. Then, Wei Jie gave a speech about her being a genius and easily tricked this girl with sparse hair into joining the Heavenly Mortal Sect.

The swindler Wei Jie walked in front of Mo Wuji and the others, waved his hand, and said, "You are the future of my Heavenly Mortal Sect. Come with me back to the sect and show all your talents."

After speaking, Wei Jie directly sacrificed a flying ship.

Because the outer perimeter of this square was the teleportation array hall, Mo Wuji saw that other sects were taking their disciples away by teleportation array, while Wei Jie had sacrificed a flying ship.

"Why aren't we taking the teleportation array?" The speaker was Yin Lin. She was relatively more active among the disciples recruited by the Heavenly Mortal Sect today.

Wei Jie chuckled: "You have just joined the sect and have not yet cultivated top-level profound Dao law supernatural powers. In case there is a problem with the teleportation array, it will cause spatial chaos and endanger your lives. You are all the future of my Heavenly Mortal Sect, and I cannot take this risk."

After saying this, Wei Jie directly rushed everyone into the cabin. He himself controlled the flying ship at the bow and rushed out of the square.

After entering the cabin, Su Xia whispered to everyone, "Don't listen to what Uncle-Master Wei Jie said. Teleportation arrays are much safer than flying ships. The Heavenly Mortal Sect doesn't have enough God Crystals to teleport, so there's no other way."

Everyone was speechless for a while. A sect that didn't even have the God Crystals to ride a teleportation array, how badly was this sect doing?

Fortunately, everyone had very poor aptitudes and knew that there were no other sects to go to except the Heavenly Mortal Sect, so they weren't very disappointed. Except for Ku Cai, who didn't talk much, and Mo Wuji, who didn't want to say much, the others, including Su Xia, were chatting very enthusiastically.

Although Wei Jie's flying ship was of a much higher level than Mo Wuji's flying car, the space area was too small. Mo Wuji wanted to find a room to cultivate, but he couldn't, so he could only listen to the others chatting silently.

Fortunately, through the conversations of these people, he also obtained some information about God Domain.

A month later, the flying ship stopped.

Mo Wuji and the others were somewhat stunned after walking out of the flying ship. The flying ship was parked on a dry swamp. If this swamp was a plaza, then behind this plaza were two towering mountain peaks piercing into the clouds.

There were three majestic characters shrouded in mist between the two peaks: Heavenly Mortal Sect (天凡宗, Tian Fan Zong).

Looking only at these two mountain peaks, the Heavenly Mortal Sect was still somewhat imposing. But adding this dry swamp and looking at the surroundings of these two mountain peaks, one knew how shabby this Heavenly Mortal Sect was.

Not to mention how weak the God spiritual energy was around, even the God spiritual energy outside Thunder Sword Mountain Manor was much richer than this place. Just talking about those two mountain peaks, frankly speaking, Mo Wuji had never seen a simple sect with only two mountain peaks even in the cultivation world.

Even the worst sect should have nine mountain peaks, right? Most sects had hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of giant peaks.

This was the first time Mo Wuji had seen a sect with only two mountain peaks.

"How is it? Our Heavenly Mortal Sect is very imposing, right? Come on, come with me to the sect." Wei Jie put away the flying ship, said proudly, and then went forward on his own. He didn't even see that among the few disciples he had recruited, everyone except Ku Cai had expressions of disappointment.
