The attire of the Reincarnation Immortal Sect disciples, those with images of Immortal Mountains on their chest are servant disciples.

Those with images of Star Maps on their chest are outer disciples.

Those with crescent images are inner sect disciples.

Those with full moon images are core disciples.

Those with sun images are Holy Son and Holy Daughter.

The hierarchy is clearly defined.

And this female disciple wearing the Purple Light Immortal Feather Skirt has an image of an Immortal Mountain on her chest, marking her as a servant disciple.

Within the Reincarnation Immortal Sect, disciples are divided with extreme strictness.

Immortal Sect disciples are divided into ordinary disciples, core disciples, and Holy Son and Holy Daughter.

The ordinary disciples are further divided into "servant disciples, outer disciples, and inner sect disciples".

Servant disciples generally have outstanding talent, but their cultivation cannot yet meet the requirements of the Reincarnation Immortal Sect, and it’s rather a pity to give up directly on them.

Thus, each year the Reincarnation Immortal Sect recruits a portion of servant disciples.

These servant disciples, upon entering the Reincarnation Immortal Sect, are spread across various mountain peaks, required to complete tasks assigned by the sect, while their leisure time can be used for cultivation.

The Reincarnation Immortal Sect grants these servant disciples a hundred years.

During this hundred years, they can participate in assessments at any time.

If they pass the assessment before the end of the assessment period, they can be promoted to outer disciples.

If they fail to pass the assessment, they must leave the Immortal Sect.

These servant disciples are euphemistically called "Immortal Sect disciples," while harshly speaking, they are somewhat akin to servants.

Subject to trends, obeying orders.

They even have to perform tasks such as weeding Spirit Fields, eliminating pests, cleaning dung for Spiritual Beasts, and other coarse work that those of Great Force descendents would never do.

Thus, these servant disciples mostly come from small families, small forces, or loose cultivators.

These people are not afraid of hardship and are willing to do coarse and tiring work.

...

The female disciple receiving Lin Feng was of extraordinary beauty, which indeed left Lin Feng quite amazed.

He couldn’t help but murmur in his heart.

It’s certainly worthy of being an Immortal Dao Sect.

Even the servant female disciples are so beautiful.

"I am here to participate in the core disciple test!" Lin Feng said.

"Senior Brother, please follow me," the female disciple said respectfully, then led the way in front.

Lin Feng followed behind her.

Then the female disciple led Lin Feng into a large hall, where about two thousand disciples gathered in small groups chatting.

As they entered the hall, two people approached from not far away.

One man and one woman.

The male disciple was a core disciple.

The female disciple was a servant disciple.

"Hehehe, isn’t it Junior Sister Xinyi?" the female disciple laughed and said.

"Greetings Senior Sister Wu!" Xu Xinyi bowed upon seeing the female disciple.

This female disciple, named Wu Xueman, was rumored to have hooked up with a core disciple, allowing her to revel in success recently.

The female disciple was adorned with an array of magical treasures, such as the hairpin on her head, known as the Vermilion Bird Immortal Phoenix Hairpin, which is a half artifact level treasure, and the White Jade Green Phoenix Bracelet on her wrist, which is a divine artifact.

She wore no less than sixteen or seventeen different magical treasures, seemingly eager for others to know of her wealth.

Wu Xueman deliberately flaunted her collection of magical treasures to Xu Xinyi, as if showing off, confidently saying, "Junior Sister, if you have a fondness for any treasures on me, I’ll gift you one."

"I appreciate Senior Sister’s kind offer," Xu Xinyi replied with a smile, without any intention of accepting. Xu Xinyi was well aware that Wu Xueman was simply showing off rather than genuinely offering her anything.

If she were to agree, it would only bring her embarrassment.

Wu Xueman laughed and said, "Ah, I’ve been so busy chatting with Junior Sister that I forgot to introduce the Senior Brother beside me."

"This is Senior Brother Zhao Ziping! Senior Zhao is a core disciple of the sect, and today, he will lead the brothers and sisters within the hall to the testing hall for the core disciple assessment."

"Greetings Senior Zhao!" Xu Xinyi bowed to Zhao Ziping.

Zhao Ziping, upon seeing Xu Xinyi, couldn’t take his eyes off her, nodding with a smile, saying, "No need to be so formal, Junior Sister."

He attempted to reach out to support Xu Xinyi as she slightly bowed.

But Xu Xinyi quickly avoided him.

"Tsk tsk, this Zhao Ziping’s gaze is wicked, it seems he harbors evil thoughts towards Xu Xinyi." Lin Feng’s eyebrow subtly raised.

This Xu Xinyi can be considered a first-class beauty, but she is just a servant disciple.

Her status is low.

No wonder someone like Zhao Ziping has ideas about her.

"Haha, there are many things to do today, so I won’t get too close to Junior Sister. I will invite Junior Sister for a gathering another day. We, senior and junior siblings, should become closer and exchange cultivation experiences, which will certainly benefit Junior Sister’s cultivation tremendously."

Zhao Ziping said with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.

Lin Feng noticed that when Zhao Ziping spoke these words, the expression of Wu Xueman beside him suddenly froze.

Initially, her gaze towards Xu Xinyi was condescending.

But now it turned gloomy and ice-cold.

Lin Feng mused inwardly.

Wu Xueman has probably already formed an illicit connection with Zhao Ziping?

She originally wanted to come to Xu Xinyi to show off.

Who could have known that her paramour would fancy Xu Xinyi?

Xu Xinyi pursed her lips without answering, clearly not intending to have much interaction with Zhao Ziping.

Zhao Ziping naturally saw that Xu Xinyi did not intend to engage further with him, but he didn’t care about her attitude towards him.

The woman he set his eyes on, could she escape from his Five Finger Mountain?

Zhao Ziping was in a very good mood, and his steps became much lighter.

He moved to the middle of the hall and said in a deep voice, "Everyone! Follow me! I will now lead you to the Testing Hall; several elders are already waiting for everyone there."

"Yes!" many people responded.

Then the disciples participating in the test followed Zhao Ziping.

The Testing Hall and the Main Hall are not in the same location.

The Testing Hall is in a side hall.

Entering this side hall, waves of heat surged forth.

Inside the hall, a separate space formed.

Before everyone was a valley.

Further in, the mountains stretched endlessly.

A elder standing in front of the valley said, "The Core Disciple assessment consists of five rounds. The first round is the Divine Fire assessment!"

"When you break through to the Divine Fire Realm, the quality of the flame igniting your Divine Fire varies. Some flames are strong, while others are weak. The stronger the flame that ignites the Divine Fire, the greater the potential for the future. Although you have all broken through to the Divine Fire Realm, only true geniuses are qualified to become core disciples. As such, many of you will undoubtedly be eliminated. The first round tests the intensity of your flames. Later, if your flame igniting your Divine Fire cannot withstand the valley’s flames, you will be deemed unqualified."

"After succeeding in the second round, you will enter an ocean of illusions. You must confront endless illusions, and only by walking out of the illusion will you pass."

"The third round is a sea of heart demons; it tests willpower."

"The fourth round assesses your combat power."

"The fifth and final round is the most difficult, called the Array Sea. This Array Sea not only contains powerful Fierce Beasts, but the power of the great arrays is extremely terrifying. There are also Illusion Arrays and Heart Demon Arrays, among others. The previous assessments were relatively scattered and singular. This round will comprehensively test your abilities. Only by traversing the Array Sea will you pass."

"Alright! Now begin the test."

...

As the elder’s words fell, over two thousand disciples summoned their Divine Fire and entered the Fire Valley, beginning the first round assessment.

Such an assessment was too simple for Lin Feng.

He used Heavenly Fire as protection and quickly traversed the Fire Valley, arriving before the second round.

There was a guardian elder before each round, so there was also an elder before the second round waiting for the disciples arriving for the test.

Lin Feng did not pay attention to the elder and continued into the ocean of illusions.

The ocean of illusions assessment was also very simple for Lin Feng.

The sea of heart demons afterward was the same.

All were easily overcome by him.

The fourth round, the assessment of combat power, took place in an Ancient Forest, requiring him to traverse the forest.

Inside the Ancient Forest were many powerful Fierce Beasts.

This round posed no difficulty for Lin Feng either, as he effortlessly crossed the Ancient Forest and arrived at the fifth round, the Array Sea test.

Entering the Array Sea, various great arrays intertwined.

Lin Feng shuttled through the great arrays.

While passing by a mountain peak, he sensed something different; the array patterns around here were much stronger than elsewhere.

Using the Array Splitting Skill, he broke the array patterns and went to the mountain peak, directly splitting it open.

At the base of the mountain peak, there was unexpectedly a palm-sized jade talisman.

"Oh, what is this?".
