As Fike and Eddie followed Xiao Zhao into the great hall, the four elders within didn't even bother looking at the new entrants.

The moment they stepped into the great hall, the great elder, who was seated in the middle, was already speaking.

"This silver-haired brother is really skilled. He didn't even use an Immortal Talisman to scale the East Immortal Mountain. This is the first time I've seen such a thing over the past few years."

Fike smiled at the elder's praise.

"Great Elder, you flatter me. My physical fitness is just a little better than ordinary people. There's nothing else special about me."

The great elder chuckled in response.

"Young man, you're too modest. There's no need to belittle yourself. If you say that, then wouldn't the thousands of disciples of our East Immortal Sect be inferior to ordinary people? Hahahaha!"

Fike also laughed lightly after hearing this.

Meanwhile, Eddie Moss looked at the two people in front of him and suddenly spoke.

"Respected elders, my name is Eddie Moss. I want to join the East Immortal Sect. First Elder, please grant me my wish!"

The second elder, who was sitting on the right side of the great hall, said with a smile after hearing the young man's words.

"How could you enter our East Immortal Sect just like that? Let me see how strong you are!"

As he spoke, the second elder flew into the air, sending numerous sharp air blades shooting toward the youth.

Over these past few days, under Fike's careful guidance, Eddie's strength had risen to a whole new level.

He easily leapt into the air while simultaneously controlling the arcane staff in his hand.

Golden flames appeared above the great hall.

Eddie had released a fireball spell, and when the golden flames clashed with the sharp, invisible air blades, it easily nullified the attack.

Seeing that his attack had been neutralized, the second elder could not help but be shocked.

"This kid's strength is actually not inferior to that silver-haired kid's! It could even be said that his strength still has unlimited room for growth."

However, before the second elder could even pause to catch his breath, a golden ray of light shot toward the second elder.

Completely immersed in the heat of the battle, Eddie Moss was unaware that the elder had already stopped fighting, and had been prepared to recognize him as a disciple.

"Second Elder! Witness the power of this move of mine!"

Eddie Moss yelled excitedly.

The elder had no time to dodge. After all, this was the Demon Slaying Ray, a spell from the future.

He took the fierce attack head on.

The moment the golden ray hit the second elder's chest, the old man spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Second Elder! Are you okay?"

Xiao Zhao exclaimed as the man fell heavily to the ground.

His right hand clutched his chest at the point of impact, and he tried to look at Eddie Moss with great difficulty.

At this moment, as he looked at the second elder, who was half-sprawled on the ground, Eddie Moss wore a panicked expression.

"Second Elder, I... I didn't mean... I didn't mean to do this!"

The man raised his hand and said to the youth.

"It's fine! It's fine!"

"You've passed the test for now. You've become a disciple of the East Immortal Sect!"

"Really?"

Eddie Moss said excitedly.

When the other three elders on both sides of the hall saw this scene, they all revealed contemptuous expressions.

Especially the Great Elder, who turned to look at Eddie Moss with a grave expression.

"Young man, your strength is indeed impressive. I can also feel your passion for immortal cultivation, but please remember this!"

"Remember what?"

Eddie Moss responded.

"Please remember that the purpose of immortal cultivation is to benefit the common people, not to blindly pursue power! Do you understand?"

The great elder warned soberly.

Eddie Moss nodded hard as he rambled on.

"Don't worry! Great Elder, I will remember it! In the future, whether it is a fight or anything else, I will hold back!"

The great elder simply looked back at the eager youth, who hadn't answered his question. He helplessly shook his head before turning to Fike.

"Silver-haired youth, are you willing to become a disciple of our East Immortal Sect?"

Fike was clearly somewhat stupefied by the sudden question, and he pointed to himself in surprise.

"Great Elder, are you asking me?"

The great elder looked into Fike's eyes and nodded.

"I can sense that you are already a fairly powerful immortal cultivator, but you must have some sort of purpose in coming to our East Immortal Sect!

"If it wasn't for immortal cultivation, I really can't think of any other reason you may have."

Hearing this, Fike changed his mind.

'If Eddie Moss really turns out to be the original god, then now that he has joined the East Immortal Sect, wouldn't it be good for me to join as well, so that I can stay by his side to witness his growth?

'I won't have to wander around looking for him, but I could also stay here to cultivate in peace. It's the best of both worlds!'

Fike smiled, then looked at the elder as he replied.

"Great Elder, I'm willing to join the East Immortal Sect. Do I still need to take the test?"

After hearing his answer, the great elder stroked his beard and smiled.

"No need. If you can enter the East Immortal Mountain without carrying an Immortal Talisman, you've already passed the test!"

The great elder glanced at Fike and Eddie as he continued.

"Xiao Zhao! Bring these two new recruits to pick up their training clothes. Also, arrange a room for them. From tomorrow onwards, they'll start training with the other disciples!"

Xiao Zhao agreed happily after hearing this.

"Okay! Great Elder, Xiao Zhao will get on it right away!"

Fike and Eddie exchanged a glance as they smiled.

Then, they said in unison.

"Thank you, Great Elder!"

"In that case, you can go now!"

"Yes!"

The trio thanked them, then, under Xiao Zhao's lead, Fike and Eddie walked out of the hall before arriving at the martial arts practice field.

"Xiao Zhao! Xiao Zhao! Do the disciples of the East Immortal Sect usually practice like this?"

Eddie pointed at the disciples who were meditating on the martial practice field as he asked.

Xiao Zhao glanced at them before replying.

"That's not necessarily the case. These are all new disciples. Because they are still relatively weak, the first elder instructed them to cultivate their bodies and minds here first. The disciples who are stronger are mostly..."

"Where are they?"

Eddie Moss asked impatiently.

Xiao Zhao looked at the excited youth and said slowly, trying to slow his pace.

"The stronger disciples of the East Immortal Sect are all cultivating in the East Ocean, behind the East Immortal Mountain!"
