We have reached the settlement for the humans, and perhaps the place with the sect members that Xijun had mentioned.

"This is the big city; I don't know the name but in here I come to sell stuff some times. They have yummy food but people are annoying and there are thieves…" she sighed.

"Thieves…?"

"Indeed, I think I have a bad experience here…" she sighed.

Apparently the strong Xijun was assaulted by a thief, most likely… this is quite depressing. I wish I could find the one that did it a crush it into the ground like a snake.

"Nonetheless, this place is where the sects will be?" I asked while raising an eyebrow.

"Something like that, I had heard and was invited here… The sects were many and it might take a while to pick our favorite, if thins go well." Said Xijun.

"Indeed, I see. So this place is filled with powerful geniuses ready to showcase their abilities! Let's make sure to show what we are made of too." I said.

"Okay! I am getting pumped up." Said Xijun

Things moved quickly from one place to another, in just a few seconds, we found ourselves inside the building of this large place, which had decorations and an appearance resembling a Greek building.

We were greeted by a large council of humans exuding strong presences, they were probably all elders of their own sects or something. They looked at us with their long white beards, they looked straight out of a Chinese movie or something! All the guys looked similar too!

The old men looked down at us, they seemed curious about us, we both looked kind of like homeless people, and I wouldn't blame them if one of them thought of us has some of kind peasant that wanted to try out their luck in this sect recruitment event.

They all exuded colorful auras but mostly tried to suppress their own power to seem approachable. However, as I inspected them in more detail, I realized they were weaker than both of us, by far.

It seems that we are indeed overpowered to an extent, since we got in here that we haven't found anyone near our level, the Elders here are at most Peak God-Realm but compared to us they're really not much. Xijun is really an incredibly talent, especially because she's way younger than all these old geezers.

So our power was seemingly higher, then what the heck is up with those giant monsters? The sea monsters and the dinosaurs… Come to think about it, when we got past the long savanna, monsters got super weak out of the sudden.

Was that some kind of hidden area with high level mobs? But if there was such a thing, they would had long ago come outside here to slaughter all these people.The average in here were all Living Deity-Realm, some were Demigod, and the old geezers here were all God.

I would say they're obviously in a higher power level than Earth, that's for sure, especially because most of the population are already godly beings… although it is so normalized they don't realize how great they are compared to the outside world.

Maybe kind of like in the Celestial World? I would think this world is like that one, but that's in another dimension, and this world is simply another Universe within my own dimension.

With Xijun we had seen the participants, they first make them do a Essence Level Test where they touch an artifact and see how much power they can get out of it, calculating a person's total essence energy, I guess that's Mana for me.

And then they make them showcase their power by making them battle divine beasts the elders summon using special "formations" which are like nodes in the ground made up of materials and special techniques, which work like small dungeon spawn points, generating monsters by a lot.

After that, they decide if they're worthy or not, and if they are, the elders give the choice of the person to be recruited.

As of now they had recruited only three people out of over thirty, they're very picky.

"Next… Xijun."

An old man with a long gray beard spoke, as Xijun slowly walked up front.

She was wearing a simple white dress, her armor and weapons were saved in my inventory for the moment, she was also wearing simple sandals, so she looked like a very simple girl, the elders looked at her while raising eyebrows, thinking she was some homeless kid.

"Is that her?"

"Yes…"

"Kid, go back from where you came from."

"We don't allow homeless people to participate."

"You're weaker than an ant anyways, I cannot detect any power from you."

The elders immediately tried to move her away from the group, which made me rather angered. Who do they think they are? Damned old men, I am going to fucking blast them into pieces…

However, Xijun looked at them calmly.

"No." she said.

"No?"

"She dares defy us.""Well, grab her and move her away then!"

Some guards approached Xijun, they were ants too.

Xijun moved swiftly as they barely saw what happened. But I noticed that her movements were as strong and graceful as the waves of the ocean, sparkles of azure streams emerged from her moves, like rivers of aquamarine essence.

Bang! Bang!

"Gueh…!"

"Agh…"

The two guards were knocked out in a split of a second, falling unconscious in the ground…

Everyone was left speechless… the Elders looked at her with surprise and awe…

"W-Wh… What?!"

"She… She beat those two guards in a single blow?"

"Impossible… I couldn't detect any power from her…"

"Y-You… who are you really?!"

The Elders unleashed their colorful auras, looking at Xijun with fear clear in their eyes.

"I am Xijun… My grandpa taught me a way to not reveal my power to others." She said.

Suddenly, a small percentage of her aura surged from her.

SPLASH!

And the Elders, everyone present in this arena, found themselves drowning in a massive ocean, it is as if her entire Aura created an illusory domain, which they couldn't even fathom to escape.

I was mostly unaffected by it, although I felt its pressure and strength.

She quickly pulled back her power, as the Elders gasped for air.

"Hahh…"

"Ungnh…"

"W-What was that?!"

"So?" asked Xijun.
