It's been a week since Mu Chen left his town. Now he is travelling to the Red Stream city.
After leaving, his Mu Chen started gathering information about the towns and cities. He finally made up his mind, and now he is travelling to Red Stream City.
According to his gathered information, the Red Stream city is one of the biggest cities, along with the other two cities. In Red Stream City, the Blue Fog Sect, Golden Sword Sect, and Mighty Spear Sect are the three major sects.
Mu Chen wanted to join one of these sects. If he becomes a disciple of one of the sects, he will gain more benefits and knowledge. Now he is travelling in a carriage that is used for public transportation.
In the past week, he went to the divine gate and practiced his Divine Black Sword Art and his body tampering technique. Now he is in the 8th stage of the Body Refining Realm and the 5th level of body tampering technique.
He and always spent his time with Xiu talking about the unknown things. Xiu has vast knowledge so it is helpful to learn from her.
The Golden Sword Sect announced the sect examination to select new disciples. The candidate must be under the age of 19 and have reached at least the sixth stage of the body refining realm.
'I will pass the examination at the Golden Sword Sect to become an outer court disciple.' Mu Chen thought.
Soon, he arrived at the entrance of the Red Stream City. This city's entrance is massive and surrounded by stone walls. At the center, there is a 15-foot-tall iron gate. There are two guards at the entrance. The carriage stopped outside the entrance of the city and dropped off all the passengers. They aren't allowed inside the city. If you want to travel inside the city, then you can use the inside city transportation that belongs to the city government.
Mu Chen is in awe after seeing the majestic city before his eyes. In 18 years of his life, this was the first time he left the town, and this was the first time he saw something like this.
'If this city is like this, then what about bigger cities that look like this?' In his mind, he was amused.
'Hey Mu Chen, go ahead, why are you slacking off now? ' Xin Xiu questioned him in his mind.
Mu Chen came out of his imagination after hearing Xiu's voice and started walking to the entrance.
At the entrance, the guards were collecting entrance payments from the visitors when Mu Chen arrived. They asked him to pay two gold coins.
Mu Chen took two gold coins and paid to the guards and they allowed him inside the city.
Inside the city, there are big buildings everywhere and various shops for medicine, weapons, clothing, and pills.
Mu Chen watched all those shops and buildings carefully while walking. He then reached an inn to rest for the day. Tomorrow he would go and participate in a sect exam.

Mu Chen woke up from his slumber, after getting enough rest. Now he has to go to the Golden Sword Sect for an examination.
After getting fresh and eating his breakfast, he is going to the examination place. There are lots of people here to take the outer court disciple exam.
There are several hundred people here. Mu Chen inspects several of them. Most of them are above the 6th level of the body refining realm cultivators.
Suddenly, an erruption was caused among the crows when they saw a group of young people looking like wealthy young masters walking towards the exam center.
"Wow, that is young master Tin Gun."
"See there, young master Chi Xin is also here."
"Are they here to take the exam as well to become outer court disciples?"
The people here exclaim in amusement and surprise at seeing the young master of the wealthy families. These two came from the land overlords and political rulers of this place. Their attitudes are arrogant, and from their looks, it seems they are looking down at the other people with disdainful eyes.
Mu Chen watched these things silently and did nothing. He knew how the rich people looked down on the poor ones and used their authority to bully others.
All he wanted to do now was pass the test and take a rest. After continuous travelling and training, he needs to give his body a rest.
"Tin Gun and Chi Xin are at the 8th level body refining level."
"They are prodigies, of course, they will definitely come first."
Lots of people chatting some people are nervous some of them are calm.
Mu Chen saw one old man coming in their direction, and all of the people here also stared at the old man. The old man was wearing a purple-coloured robe with a strong aura surrounding his whole body. He came and glared at everyone in the hall, and then he went to the stage.
"Welcome everyone to the sect examination of the Golden Sword Sect. I am a member of this sect's elder council. Address me as "Elder Chu." He said it aloud to everyone.
"There are two tests you need to pass here to become an outer court disciple. The first test is to determine your strength. If you fail in the first round, you will be eliminated immediately. The second round is the speed assessment test. If you fail in the second, then you will also be eliminated. " Elder Chu said.
"Those who pass both tests will be accepted to be an outer court disciple." So don't slack off and do your best. "
The people in this place started to get ready for the first test. The area suddenly filled with chattering and laughing sounds.
Mu Chen is also very eager for the test. Because this is the first step in his journey and he will pass the test and become sect disciple no matter what.
