He walked over with a smile and patted Jiang Qiang’s shoulder, “Qiangzi, I’m about to join a sect.
But once we get there, I’ll make sure you’re settled first.

Your talent for setting up formations is remarkable.
In a more tranquil environment, you, too, can make a living…”
Jiang Qiang felt a warmth in his heart.
Might as Chen Dengming was, he still held onto his sense of camaraderie and loyalty.
In all these years in the Cultivation World, he had only met one of his kind, evoking a sense of deep gratitude in him.
...
“Let’s eat.
After we finish, we’ll continue our journey.
We’ll hurry along the way to arrive at Wind Matter Square as soon as possible.
There’s a fellow cultivator there who will receive us.”
“Okay!”
…
Once they passed through the Absolute Forest City and headed downstream along the river, they truly stepped into the territory of the Immortal Sect Way Gate in the heartland of the Eastern Region.
It was a place where dragon snakes resided, with plentiful Spirit Veins.
Many smaller sects and Cultivation Families settled around those Spirit Veins, dividing up the numerous cultivation resources and Spirit Veins of the outer regions.
In the Immortal Sect Way Gate, those named ‘Sects’, all had Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators as their Great Masters.
‘Way Gates’ were even considered esteemed places, with some even having Spirit Transformation Cultivators in charge.
However, those named ‘Gates’, ‘Sects’, such as the Wind Calling Sect, Thunder Sect, were often small sects.
Most of them had only Golden Core Stage cultivators in charge, and even a late Foundation Establishment Cultivator, or a so-called False Core Great Master, could establish their sect.
However, within the ‘Sects’, some faced hardships and became weaker, not always static.
For instance, the Yingyue Sect and Miaoyin Sect were once presided over by formidable Nascent Soul Elders.
But one sect’s elder was slain by the Demon Star, and another sect’s ancestor disappeared with the Demon Star, experiencing tragic fate.
…
Half a day later,
Chen Dengming and Jiang Qiang safely arrived at Wind Matter Square.
Upon receiving the message from the Jade Talisman for Message Transmission, Chu Xun came out immediately to welcome them.
“Brother Chen!
You’re finally here.
This must be Jiang Daoyou, right?
Congratulations, Jiang Daoyou.
Now that you’ve escaped the cage, good fortune will surely follow.”
Chen Dengming smiled and raised his hand, “Alright, Old Zhu, there’s no need to be so polite.
We’ve rushed here non-stop, so let’s settle down first.
Have you arranged everything?”
“Of course, I’ve rented a house in the West District of the market, waiting for you and Jiang Daoyou.
I’ve already looked into the situation here…”
“Hey, Daoist friend Zhu, you have guests?
Arriving at the house, a local elder cultivator looked at the weary Chen Dengming and Jiang Qiang and greeted them with a smile.
Chu Xun introduced with a smile, “Yes, they are my fellow villagers, and they’re pretty formidable at cultivation.”
The elder glanced at Jiang Qiang, chuckled, then looked at Chen Dengming.
Although he couldn’t gauge their exact strength, he felt a sudden tightness in his chest.
He glanced at Chen Dengming’s robust figure and greeted them with a fist salute.
“Welcome two fellow cultivators to Wind Matter Square, we’ll all be neighbors from now on.”
“Daoist friend Zhu, is this formidable friend of yours even more formidable than you?
How about you introduce him?”
At this moment, a woman cultivator who was enjoying the lively scene from the courtyard next door spoke with a fiery tone.
She was a mature beauty with white teeth, red lips, and skin that looked slightly tanned yet smooth, glowing healthily.
A silk belt was tied around her waist, a pair of silk trousers below, and a magic artifact sword slanted across her chest.
Chu Xun was startled and glanced at Chen Dengming before he said hastily, “Oh, Elder Sister Cheng, don’t joke around.
My Daoist friend here doesn’t like your type.”
“Hey, I’ve told you, Daoist friend Zhu.
One day, I said I wanted to share my life with you, and you weren’t happy.
Today, I say I want to hang out with your friend, and you’re not happy either.
Do you want to leave me single forever?”
The woman cultivator spoke indignantly with her hands on her hips, her braids swaying in rhythm with her waist.
Chen Dengming shook his head and went into the house with Chu Xun, laughing.
He could tell that the cultivation environment in Wind Matter Square was much better.
At least the relations between cultivators were harmonious.
Even strangers would joke with each other, and the precautions towards each other were not as severe as in other places.
This fact did make Chen Dengming feel a bit more at ease, as the environment was not as repressive and felt more relaxed.
Perhaps it was because the resources here were more abundant.
Although the competition was fierce, at least everyone’s life was more comfortable, proving that a warm heart breeds lustful thoughts, but a cold one breeds sinister intentions.
…
With Chu Xun, who had been familiar with Wind Matter Square for half a month as their guide, Chen Dengming and Jiang Qiang quickly settled down.
At the same time, they also acquired more detailed information about the nearby cultivation sects.
Wind Matter Square was the territory of the Cultivation Family, the Feng Family.
The head of the Feng Family was once an elder of the Wind Calling Sect, and they still maintained close ties.
Therefore, this area fell under the jurisdiction of the Wind Calling Sect.
The criteria for the Wind Calling Sect to accept disciples were cultivators under the age of fifteen with a mid-grade Spiritual Root or above.
Strength was not limited, and joining the sect would require passing other tests.
As for loose cultivators, the Wind Calling Sect did accept them, but the annual quota for accepting disciples was limited.
The requirements for loose cultivators were stricter, requiring those under the age of twenty-five with a lower-grade Spiritual Root and above the fifth level of Qi Cultivation.
Moreover, such cultivators needed to pass a series of even stricter tests.
After all, the older the practitioner, the less pure their mindset.
Unlike those who were trained from a young age, they won’t have the same sense of belonging to a sect.
They might even have some trouble outside, which could bring troubles to the sect.
Like Chu Xun, he had a mid-grade Spiritual Root, but he was born in a remote place and missed the most suitable opportunity to join a sect.
