Chapter 1402 - 857: As the Ruler Desires, So Do the Subjects Excel

The thoughts in his mind flashed by, and Yu Xinghan looked at the camera in front of him, speaking to the countless cultivators currently watching the live broadcast: "Among those watching the live broadcast, many may already know my identity, but surely there are many viewers who are not familiar with me, so let me introduce myself."

"I am Yu Xinghan, born on Kunxu 1st Floor, graduated from the Civil Engineering Department of Wanfa University."

"Perhaps some viewers still remember two years ago, when I was a candidate for the first Lower Realm Sect Examination, I became one of the first group of cultivators to be accepted into a sect through the exam."

With this introduction of Yu Xinghan’s identity, countless viewers watching the live broadcast... suddenly felt a sense of closeness between themselves and Yu Xinghan.

There seemed to be a subtle sense of familiarity emanating from this sect affairs officer who rose from the lower realm.

Many viewers also remembered from two years ago during the first Lower Realm Sect Exam, in the interview live broadcast... that last person who broke through the Heavenly Gate.

Yu Xinghan continued: "Now, I am already a Level 2 Sect Staff member at Wanfa Sect... in the Netherworld Property Department of the Old Graveyard, a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm, in charge of personnel work. Next year, I should be promoted to Level 3."

...

Lanling watched Yu Xinghan in the live broadcast, a hint of pride on his face as he said to his subordinate next to him: "This is my fellow townsman, we both come from Songyang City on the 1st Floor."

"In college, we were even in a group together."

The subordinate was surprised and said: "Then can you contact him now? Beg him to get you recruited into the sect."

Lanling laughed angrily: "You guys from technical schools always think so simply, do you think getting into a sect is that easy?"

"Sigh, do you know about the Sect Exam? There’s really nothing to say to you technical school students. That’s the ultimate exam that all ten floors can participate in, even students from the Ten Schools have to fight hard for it, and even we high-rank officers from the Thirty-Six Upper Schools would be just cannon fodder if we participated in the Sect Exam."

The subordinate nodded, thinking to himself: "What’s the difference among us technical schools and you during the Sect Exam anyway."

Lanling’s eye remains flickered as he saw the messages in the long-silent hometown group refreshing like crazy.

Lanling sent a message to Zhou Chechen: "Old Zhou, did you see that? How long has it been? Can’t believe Yu Xinghan’s already a Nascent Soul, the sect truly is the Immortal Path."

"Nascent Soul Realm..." Lanling said in a tone full of longing: "Even students from the Top Ten have to at least have a doctoral degree to have a chance at obtaining a Nascent Soul Certificate. In this lifetime, we have no hope of reaching the Nascent Soul."

Zhou Chechen said: "It’s not just Nascent Soul, the fact he can manage personnel work shows he’s already in a basic leadership position within the sect, indicating he’s doing quite well there."

"Sigh, the Sect Exam... With our Upper School education, it’s impossible."

At this moment, both Zhou Chechen and Lanling were filled with deep regret, why hadn’t they worked a bit harder in high school? Why had they only gotten into such a useless Upper School?

"If I’d pushed myself a bit more in high school, forced my parents to sell everything they had, mortgaged everything, and fully participated in the high school exam, maybe I could’ve gotten into a Top Ten school, and now I’d have the chance to get into a sect..."

...

Meanwhile, in the live broadcast room, Yu Xinghan continued: "In our Netherworld Property Department, besides me, there’s also Ye Xingli from the previous batch who also came from Wanfa University. Like me, she’s a Level 2 Sect Staff member and should also be promoted to Level 3 next year."

"And our department minister is Zhang Yu, who has already become a Level 4 Sect Staff and broken through to the Divinity Transformation Realm. He is still the legal heir of the Immortal Inheritance."

"In our department, we’ve employed quite a few outsourced cultivators from the lower realm, external soul cultivators, and even the Divinity Transformation Principal from the Ten Schools is currently working with us."

"You could say that our Netherworld Property Department is one of the most welcoming departments for lower realm cultivators among the major sects."

Yu Xinghan said earnestly: "I’ve come to the lower realm this time to recruit a batch of outstanding talents for the Netherworld Property Department through the Sect Exam."

"And in future yearly Sect Exams, the Netherworld Property Department, as a lower-realm-friendly department, will also continue to recruit exceptional talents from various schools below the upper merit. Those who are not from Wanfa are also welcome to apply, as we do not care about your background, only your ability."

Yu Xinghan knew that compared to those popular positions, there certainly wouldn’t be a lot of people applying for the Netherworld Property Department this year. Initially, he also planned to recruit primarily Wanfa Sect personnel.

But with the admissions and publicity every year afterward, surely more and more Top Ten school elites would apply for the Netherworld Property Department.

Yu Xinghan thought to himself: "Perhaps someday, the top few positions in each Top Ten League, the most outstanding talents from the Ten Universities, will all come to us."

"Those elites, underestimated by the Ten Great Sects, regarded as lowly by sect staff, will shine brightly in our hands."

...

Watching the live, Bei Wufeng sighed: "Ye Xingli has also reached the Nascent Soul Realm? Zhang... Divine Monarch Zhang is already in Divinity Transformation?"

But the next moment, he frowned: "Recruiting from all schools? Could it be even Sky Demon University is included? How can the Wanfa Sect, such a sacred place, recruit demon descendants in the sect?"

In Bei Wufeng’s mind, the Wanfa Sect was such a sacred place, letting demon descendants in was simply a desecration.

Beside him, Yan Qianji, preparing to participate in the Sect Exam returning to the lower realm, said: "Currently, there doesn’t seem to be any plans to recruit demon descendants."

"Moreover, Minister Zhang is not just a Divinity Transformation. He is appreciated by Ascension Realm cultivators in the sect, has established upper merit, and will surely achieve the Refining Void Taoist Monarch in the future!"
