It was a crisp morning in Qinglong Village when the news arrived. The Azure Cloud Sect, one of the most revered cultivation sects in the Earthly Mortal Plane, was sending envoys to recruit new disciples. The elders had spoken in hushed tones of this great opportunity, their voices filled with both awe and trepidation. For many, joining the Azure Cloud Sect was the highest honor—an opportunity to leave behind the mundane world and pursue the path of immortality.
Wu Tian had been anticipating this moment for as long as he could remember. The thought of leaving Qinglong and joining a sect filled him with excitement, not just for the cultivation, but for the chance to encounter even more beautiful women, powerful figures, and, of course, the chance to prove his worth.
As the day approached, Wu Tian's excitement grew. His father, Wu Jian, had been a blacksmith for years, and though he was respected in the village, he had never been one to entertain thoughts of joining a sect. Wu Tian, however, had different ideas. It was his destiny to reach the heights of cultivation, and he knew that the Azure Cloud Sect would provide the perfect stage for his ambitions.
The Selection
The ceremony was set to take place in the village square, and word spread quickly that the Azure Cloud Sect's representatives would be arriving in the late afternoon. Wu Tian, already dressed in his finest clothes, made his way to the square with his heart racing. His confident stride and impeccable appearance only added to the rumors that the boy was destined for greatness.
The villagers gathered in clusters, their murmurs filled with excitement. Parents whispered to their children, pointing to the young cultivators who would soon be making their way to the Azure Cloud Sect.
Wu Tian's eyes scanned the crowd, seeking the one thing that would make this moment perfect—an audience. It didn't take long before he spotted her: Ling Mei, the baker's daughter. She was standing near the front of the crowd, her delicate features glowing in the sunlight. Wu Tian's heart skipped a beat.
He flashed a smile at her, one of those signature, irresistible grins that had worked on countless girls before. To his delight, she blushed and shyly looked away. The fire within him burned brighter, but he kept his composure, knowing he had bigger things to focus on today.
It wasn't just women he sought now—it was power. The Azure Cloud Sect could offer him what Qinglong Village could not. His eyes returned to the stage where the sect's emissaries were preparing to make their entrance.
A figure in the crowd caught his attention. An elderly man with long white hair, the unmistakable aura of a high-level cultivator, appeared at the front of the stage. His robes shimmered with the faint glow of spiritual energy.
"Children of Qinglong," the old man's voice boomed, commanding attention. "I am Elder Zhou of the Azure Cloud Sect. We are here today to assess those among you worthy of joining our ranks. Step forward if you wish to begin your journey."
Wu Tian's heart surged. This was the moment he had been waiting for.
The first few children stepped forward hesitantly, their eyes wide with anticipation. Wu Tian, however, did not hesitate. With a deep breath and a flash of confidence, he strode forward, his every movement graceful and deliberate. The crowd parted to make way for him, and the air seemed to thrum with the weight of his presence.
When he reached the stage, Elder Zhou's sharp eyes narrowed in interest. "Ah, young Wu Tian, I've heard much about you. The one with the Dao of Time. What makes you wish to join the Azure Cloud Sect?"
Wu Tian smiled, his dark eyes sparkling with a hint of mischief. "I seek power. I seek to master time itself. And I wish to see the world, to meet beautiful women, and to leave my mark on this world."
The crowd murmured, and Elder Zhou raised an eyebrow. "Such a bold statement for one so young. But your potential is undeniable. The Dao of Time is not something to be taken lightly, and if you are truly dedicated, you may one day surpass all others."
Wu Tian's grin widened, his heart swelling with pride. He had made his mark. He had taken the first step toward becoming the greatest cultivator in the realms. He was no longer just a handsome devil of Qinglong Village—he was now a candidate for greatness.
The Path to Power
With the recruitment ceremony complete, Wu Tian was taken under the wing of the Azure Cloud Sect. The journey ahead was long and filled with challenges, but Wu Tian was more than ready. He had the Dao of Time on his side, and with his charm and wit, he knew he would carve a path toward the top of the cultivation world.
Days turned into weeks as Wu Tian settled into his new life at the sect. The training was rigorous, but he found himself excelling far beyond the other disciples. His affinity for time allowed him to slow down the passage of moments during meditation, letting him absorb cultivation techniques at an astonishing rate.
But it wasn't all about cultivation. Wu Tian quickly realized that the Azure Cloud Sect was filled with beautiful women from all corners of the world, each more stunning than the last. And as always, Wu Tian's charm was irresistible.
He'd caught the eye of several of the sect's female disciples, and while he was still focused on cultivating his power, he made sure to enjoy every flirtatious interaction. In the halls of the sect, whispers of the "Handsome Devil" began to spread. Some admired his talents, others simply admired his appearance, but everyone knew that Wu Tian was a force to be reckoned with.
One evening, as the sun set over the Azure Cloud Sect's towering peaks, Wu Tian stood at the edge of the cultivation platform, looking out over the vast landscape. The winds carried the scent of blooming flowers and distant thunder. His heart was full, his eyes glimmering with the knowledge that he was on the path to greatness.
With the Dao of Time, power, and beauty at his side, there was no limit to what he could achieve. The world was his to conquer, and Wu Tian intended to make sure that no one would ever forget his name.
And so, the story of Wu Tian, the Handsome Devil and future Master of Time, continued—filled with ambition, romance, and the inevitable rise to power that would change the world forever.
