Starting As A Sect Leader: My Rules Are Bit Wild.

In this era, although not quite like drinking blood and eating raw meat, ordinary people’s lives were still extremely difficult.

The strong were as numerous as clouds, often moving mountains and filling seas, even destroying the heavens and the earth, viewing the weak as ants and weeds. Merely surviving had already exhausted ordinary people’s efforts, so naturally not many people were literate.

And precisely because they had no background, they would continuously try to enter the Xuan Gate and become cultivators, traveling the world.

In their perception, as long as they became cultivators, they would be “immortal beings.”

It was worth paying everything for this!

…

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk.”

Seeing the increasingly fierce gazes of his companions, this person didn’t dare to hide anything anymore and quickly admitted defeat: “This is a slogan written by a sect called the Embracing Moon Sect, and the content is mostly the same.”

“Even without talent, there is a glimmer of hope.

We recruit disciples, not based on talent, but on fate.

Regardless of identity, status, background, or talent, all can come.

— Welcome everyone to visit the Embracing Moon Sect.”

“And there is also some information on how to get to the Embracing Moon Sect.”

After hearing his explanation, the surrounding people all showed surprised expressions.

“Not based on talent, but only on fate?”

“Even without talent, there is a chance to enter the mountain gate? Is this… true or false?”

“What kind of sect is the Embracing Moon Sect?”

They were mostly passersby, a small number were a few acquaintances traveling together, and at this moment, most of them felt excited and confused.

Cultivation was difficult. Only one in ten thousand people had talent, and even those with talent were mostly just barely acceptable, completely unable to meet the thresholds for those sects to recruit disciples. This was common knowledge.

Therefore, although they came full of hope, they were all very afraid, afraid that their talents would not meet the requirements.

At this moment, suddenly hearing that even without talent there was a chance to enter the mountain gate, they couldn’t help but feel excited.

But what kind of sect was the Embracing Moon Sect?

Most people hadn’t heard of it.

“I know!”

A young woman whispered: “The Embracing Moon Sect was once one of the top sects in our Southwest Region, second only to the Myriad Flowers Holy Land, a leader among first-class sects!

At its peak, it had over ten thousand spiritual mountains and over ten million disciples, and it was unparalleled for a time.”

“Ah?”

“Then why is it completely unknown now? We have even heard of the Peach Blossom Sect, which only has eight spiritual mountains, but we haven’t heard of this Embracing Moon Sect?”

“That’s because they have declined in recent years. They are in urgent need of successors and have no one to take over, so they have taken a sharp turn for the worse. Now, they only have one spiritual mountain left, and they are already on the verge of collapse.”

“Perhaps, that’s why they came up with this method to attract more people to visit the mountain, right?”

“One spiritual mountain? This…”

“Then it’s up to everyone’s own choice.”

The young woman sighed softly: “But in my opinion, head of a chicken or tail of a phoenix?

Among us, those who can truly enter the immortal gate are one in a hundred, and even those who are lucky enough to enter, most will not be the tail of a phoenix, let alone the head of a chicken. Being able to enter the gate is already a stroke of luck.”

Everyone deeply agreed and nodded heavily.

“Then we… go to the Embracing Moon Sect?”

“Don’t let me sway you.”

The young woman gently shook her head: “I advise everyone to have their own opinions.”

In her opinion, being so easily swayed by others, even if they had talent, they would probably not be able to enter the mountain gate.

Thinking of this, she added: “Moreover, although they say they don’t look at talent, only at fate, they didn’t say that those they want to accept must be people without talent.”

Everyone was numb.

You’re making us very confused!

Someone couldn’t help but say: “Then how should we choose?”

“It’s up to you.”

The young woman sighed: “I have already said that you must have your own opinions. I can only analyze the pros and cons, but I will not and cannot tell you what to do.”

“After all, this choice may change your life.”

“Everyone knows what will happen if you go to the Peach Blossom Sect. Those without talent and those with insufficient talent will definitely not be able to enter.”

“But if you go to the Embracing Moon Sect, even without talent, you can gamble on that glimmer of hope.”

“That’s all.”

Only then did everyone begin to pay attention to this young woman.

Following the sound, everyone found that her expression and eyes were firm, but her face was covered with mud and looked a little downcast, but not very disheveled.

Her long black hair cascaded down her waist like a waterfall.

The coarse cloth dress she wore, although washed white and with patches, was very clean.

“Then, what choice will you make, miss?”

“Me?”

She gave a self-deprecating smile: “I know I have no talent.”

Then, she turned and headed towards the road to the Embracing Moon Sect.

Seeing this, everyone was a little hesitant, and then they split into two groups, one continuing to the Peach Blossom Sect, and the other half heading towards the Embracing Moon Sect.

…

Similar scenes occurred outside many sects near the Embracing Moon Sect.

Some scoffed at it.

Some took it seriously.

Some felt that the Embracing Moon Sect was almost dead, and this move was clearly to deceive a few disciples.

Others felt that although the Embracing Moon Sect was now extremely desolate, it had at least been glorious in the past, and there should still be some foundation. As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so it was worth a gamble.

…

…

Three days later, the day when thousands of sects in the Southwest Region opened their mountain gates arrived.

The five elders had all returned.

The Embracing Moon Sect had also made some repairs.

The bluestone slabs leading up the mountain were swept spotless, and the few spiritual herbs in the medicine garden were all moved out and placed on both sides of the mountain road, making the spiritual energy even more abundant than usual.

The few spiritual beasts in the sect were also all released to roam the mountains and fields, adding some vitality and ‘immortal style’.

Morning.

Ding!!!

A melodious bell sound came from an infinitely distant place. This was the ‘signal’ from the Myriad Flowers Holy Land. Immediately, the formations of the major mountain gates were activated, and the paths up the mountains appeared…

Lin Fan stood outside the main hall, a little hesitant.

Although everything he could think of had been done, did he actually have a newbie gift pack?

He paced back and forth, and finally felt that something was missing. He looked at the seven disciples standing guard on the side and said, “Go find a place halfway up the mountain to have a sparring match. It will also let the newcomers have a look.”

However, they were immediately stunned, looking at Lin Fan with blank faces and worry: “Ah? Us?”

Lin Fan: “…”

He wanted to say something, but the words reached his lips, but he gave a helpless bitter smile: “Forget it, you play… uh, you mind your own business.”

It was better to let them be mascots.

This was really a bit difficult for them.

…

Behind Lin Fan, the Great Elder pondered slightly: “Some people have already gathered at the foot of the mountain and are climbing up.”

“How many?” Lin Fan couldn’t help but look forward to it.

“About two hundred!”

Only two hundred?

Lin Fan’s heart sank.

Last year there were more than three hundred!

Although not a single one entered the sect…

“Wait!”

At this moment, Wu Xingyun suddenly spoke: “There are still people coming from a distance!”

“In twos and threes, from different directions.”

“Sect Master, it should be your advertisement that is working!”

“Oh?! About how many people?”

“I’m afraid…”

Wu Xingyun’s eyes shone brightly, and her divine sense spread out as much as possible, but she still couldn’t ‘see’ the end: “No less than ten thousand!”

Hearing this, everyone showed a smile.

“Good!”

Over ten thousand?

Even if it was one in a thousand, they could still pick out ten barely acceptable disciples. If they were properly cultivated, they would be of some help.

“Sect Master is truly talented!”

The five elders praised one after another.
