There were not many participants from the various sects to begin with. After a month in the Dark Dungeon Secret Realm, there were only ninety-three participants left. Xiao Chen, Gu Lingyao, Mu Feng, and the others were naturally among them.
Through the token, everyone's accumulated points were clear. Hence, it didn't take long for the results to be announced.
There were a total of 93 participants. Anyone with more than 100 points would be able to enter Tianfeng Shengzong. Of course, these people could only be ordinary disciples. If they wanted to become an inner disciple, they would have to accumulate more than 1000 points.
For example, in the previous Sage Sect selections, there were only five people who became core disciples at most. The rest were just ordinary disciples.
After the deacons finished tallying the points, the two Sage Sect Elders began to announce the results. However, just as the two Half-Saint Elders were about to begin, the Tianfeng Saint's cold voice came from the sky.
"Xiao Chen is ranked first among the core disciples. The rest of the core disciples will take a step back."
Chosen by the Saint. Hearing this, everyone was stunned. They didn't expect Xiao Chen to be chosen by the Saint. This was a great honor. Furthermore, the Tianfeng Saint had directly placed Xiao Chen as the first among the core disciples. One had to know that this was second only to the top ten pro-disciples.
In Tianfeng Shengzong, the disciples were divided into three levels: ordinary disciples, core disciples, and the top ten pro-disciples. Of course, the ordinary disciples were also divided into three levels: Heaven, Earth, and Mortal.
However, the Tianfeng Saint had directly chosen Xiao Chen as the first core disciple. One had to know that there were a total of 132 core disciples in Tianfeng Shengzong. Amongst these 132 core disciples, there was a ranking. The higher the ranking, the stronger the strength, and the higher the status. At the same time, they would receive more cultivation resources every month.
There had never been anyone who became the first core disciple upon entering Tianfeng Shengzong. One had to know that in the previous Sage Sect selections, no matter how good their results were, they would only become core disciples. Moreover, they would only be ranked at the bottom.
Without a doubt, the Tianfeng Saint's words had allowed Xiao Chen to reach the top in one step. However, from another perspective, the Tianfeng Saint's decision had also brought a lot of trouble for Xiao Chen. After all, how could the other core disciples accept a new disciple becoming the first core disciple?
Therefore, once Xiao Chen entered Tianfeng Shengzong, there would be a lot of trouble. Those old core disciples definitely wouldn't be willing to be ranked below Xiao Chen.
However, this was a topic for another time. Now that Tianfeng Saint had spoken, no one dared to object. The two Glory Sect Elders bowed respectfully. "Yes."
The selections hadn't started yet, but Xiao Chen's matter had already been decided. Regarding this, everyone from the Tianqi Sect was naturally overjoyed. The first core disciple! Xiao Chen had obtained such an honor. This was great news for the Tianqi Sect.
However, compared to the excitement of the Tianqi Sect, the faces of the Iron Sword Sect were ashen. Who would have thought that Xiao Chen had already caught the attention of the Tianfeng Saint? If the Tianfeng Saint really valued Xiao Chen, would the Iron Sword Sect still dare to find trouble with him? Obviously, that was impossible. By then, the Iron Sword Sect would probably take the initiative to resolve the grudge between the two sides with Xiao Chen.
With the Tianfeng Saint personally deciding on Xiao Chen's matter, the two Sage Sect Elders also began to announce the results. They started with the ones with the lowest points. As expected, the Sage Sect selection this time wasn't easy.
After the final confirmation, 33 out of the 93 participants were eliminated because their points didn't reach 100. At the same time, out of the remaining 60 participants, 56 became ordinary disciples, and only 4 became core disciples.
Among the four, Xiao Chen was one. The other three were Gu Lingyao, and one disciple each from the Demon Evil Temple and the White Mist Sect.
Such a result was obviously beyond everyone's expectations. Because anyone could see that the Tianqi Sect was undoubtedly the biggest winner of the Sage Sect selection this time. This was because the Tianqi Sect had two core disciples, and Xiao Chen was the first core disciple.
The result was unexpected, but it couldn't be changed. It was worth mentioning that Mu Feng had also successfully entered the Tianqi Sect. However, because his results were only barely qualified, he only became an ordinary Human-class disciple. But this was already enough to make Mu Feng extremely excited.
Mu Feng knew that he had done his best. Not to mention Xiao Chen, even Cao He and Mu Feng were far behind. Therefore, Mu Feng was already very satisfied to be able to enter the Tianfeng Shengzong successfully. Being an ordinary Human-class disciple was nothing.
After the results were announced, those who didn't qualify could return to where they came from. As for those who successfully entered the Tianfeng Shengzong, there were also special attendants who were responsible for taking them through a series of procedures.
After a few words with Mu Feng and the others, Xiao Chen, Gu Lingyao, and the two disciples from the Demon Evil Temple and the White Mist Sect left in a group of four.
The living quarters of the core disciples were naturally different from those of the ordinary disciples. Following behind the attendants, Xiao Chen and the other three could be considered to have experienced the magnificence of the Tianfeng Shengzong.
The entire Tianfeng Shengzong was built on top of the Tianfeng Sacred Mountain. Starting from the foot of the mountain, the higher one went, the fewer buildings there were.
With the mountainside as the dividing line, below the mountainside was the area of the ordinary disciples. The lower the level, the closer one was to the foot of the mountain. At night, the mountainside was where the core disciples, direct disciples, and elders lived. Similarly, the closer one was to the mountaintop, the higher one's status was. As for the mountaintop, there was no doubt that it was the residence of the Tianfeng Saint. It belonged to the forbidden area of the Tianfeng Shengzong.
All the way up the mountainside was the area of the core disciples. Compared to the ordinary disciples, the core disciples' area was more spacious and the illusion was more beautiful. Unlike the ordinary disciples, every core disciple of the Tianfeng Shengzong had their own individual courtyard. At the same time, they were also accompanied by maids.
After leading Xiao Chen and the others to the core disciples' area, the attendants said softly, "This is the core disciples' area. From here, you should have already discovered the special pattern of the buildings in the core disciples' area, right?"
Hearing the attendants' words, the disciple from the Demon Evil Temple replied, "Naturally, the buildings in the core disciples' area are not side by side. Every building extends from the lowest to the highest, all the way to the mountaintop."
"That's right, this also represents the ranking of the core disciples. The lower the ranking of the core disciples, the closer they are to the mountainside. The higher the ranking of the core disciples, the closer they are to the mountaintop. For example, Xiao Chen is now the number one core disciple. From his residence, you can already see the abodes of the ten direct disciples." Hearing the answer of the Demon Evil Temple disciple, the attendants smiled and nodded.
