After returning to the Blue Cloud Sect, everything seemed to have returned to normal. However, there was a rumor in the Blue Cloud Sect that a group of disciples would be joining the inner courtyard. Because of the opening of the Thunder Blade Secret Territory, many Blue Cloud Sect disciples had advanced by leaps and bounds in the Thunder Blade Secret Territory. They had already reached the qualifications to join the inner courtyard.
If one wanted to join the inner courtyard, they had to go through the sect's examination.
The examination was naturally very strict. The twelve peaks would normally recommend people to the inner courtyard.
Those who received a recommendation would go to the outer courtyard disciples' mountain for the qualification examination. If they passed, they could join the inner courtyard.
There were many conditions to join the inner courtyard. Cultivators in the Eighth Celestial Layer of the Martial King Realm were enough to make countless people shrink back.
Of course, it didn't mean that those below the Eighth Celestial Layer of the Martial King Realm couldn't join. In fact, if a cultivator with astonishing talent like Tian Zhongdao had "Twin Martial Spirits", even if their cultivation wasn't enough, they would still be accepted into the inner courtyard.
Such geniuses didn't even need to go through the examination like the others.
"I heard that Elder Qiao Yunqiu has drawn up a list of recommendations. Our Heaven Repairing Peak has a total of nine people. Junior Lin Feng won first place in the New Disciples Competition and defeated five geniuses by himself. The higher-ups of the inner courtyard already know and have already recommended Junior Lin Feng to join the inner courtyard. Junior Tian Zhongdao has Twin Martial Spirits, so the higher-ups of the inner courtyard think highly of him and will also join the inner courtyard. In addition, me, Junior Wang Hu, Junior Sister Shi Weizhu, Junior Sister Yang Lin, Junior Brother Zhang Tianyuan, Junior Brother Pei Junyang, and Junior Brother Wang Le have also been recommended to participate in the inner courtyard's qualification examination."
Jing Ping said happily.
Unlike the previous years, the Heaven Repairing Peak could also have nine disciples participate in the inner courtyard's qualification examination. To be precise, two of them had already successfully joined the inner courtyard and were exempt from the examination.
The other seven still had to work hard.
Shi Weizhu smiled and said, "Congratulations to Junior Brother Lin Feng and Junior Brother Tian Zhongdao."
"I believe that everyone can also successfully join the inner courtyard."
Lin Feng slightly smiled.
"What about me?" The Old Drunkard couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Eh … Elder Qiao Yunqiu didn't mention that." Jing Ping said awkwardly.
The Old Drunkard was so old that he couldn't see the future. It would be extremely difficult for him to break through the Yin-Yang realm at such an old age.
Since the quota was precious, it was normal for him not to give it to the old drunkard.
The old drunkard couldn't help but roll his eyes. Who knows what he was thinking?
Jing Ping replied, "The test will be held in three days."
Then, everyone dispersed.
…
At night, Lin Feng sat cross-legged and began to circulate the Archean Dragonesque Elephant Art. After thirty-six cycles, he finally stopped.
Fire Qilin asked, "Did you encounter anything special in the Thunder Blade Secret Realm?"
Lin Feng replied, "If there's anything special about it, it's the Eternal Divine Sovereign who left a deep impression on me. Our group entered the illusory world created by the Eternal Divine Sovereign and stayed there for five years. When we came out, only a breath of time had passed in the outside world."
"What? There's such a thing? " The Fire Qilin's expression was gloomy and uncertain, appearing extremely shocked.
Lin Feng nodded and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
"The power of the laws of time."
The Fire Kylin said, "However, even if the gods have mastered the power of the Law of Time, they would never allow hundreds of people to enter such a time space at the same time. Moreover, one breath of time is equivalent to five years in the time space. The stronger the power of the Law of Time is, the longer one breath of time will be converted into the time space. As far as I know, even the experts at the peak of the gods can only convert one breath of time in the outside world into ten minutes in the Law of Time, and they can only enter the time space themselves."
Lin Feng was shocked by the Fire Qilin's words.
If the Fire Qilin was telling the truth, then the Eternal Divine Sovereign was an existence that surpassed the god realm?
"Does the Undying World really exist?" Lin Feng frowned slightly.
The Fire Qilin replied, "Of course it exists, but only a very small number of people can enter it. It's a world that transcends life and death. Those who can ascend to the Undying World are all peerless experts. However, it's been too long since anyone has been able to enter the Undying World. That's why the Undying World has become a legend in the Martial Heaven Continent."
"Yes." Lin Feng nodded.
…
Starlight fell, and the moonlight shone resplendently.
Late at night, Lin Feng was still cultivating.
He was looking at the ninety thousand star charts, comprehending the various mysterious transformations within them.
That imposing, god-like man was standing in the middle of the Star River. Lin Feng tried to communicate with him, but no matter how many times he tried, he always failed.
Of course, it wasn't as if Lin Feng didn't gain anything. Every time he looked at the star charts, his spiritual energy would increase. Furthermore, the ninety thousand star charts were arranged like a formation. Looking at the star charts would be of great help to Lin Feng in comprehending formations.
After cultivating for a night, Lin Feng opened his eyes and muttered, "Right now, if I want to advance from the first Heavenly Layer of the Creation Realm to the second Heavenly Layer of the Creation Realm, it feels more difficult than advancing from the first Heavenly Layer of the Yin Yang Realm to the tenth Heavenly Layer of the Yin Yang Realm."
The Fire Qilin opened its eyes and said, "That's natural. After crossing a large realm, the soul will have undergone a substantial transformation, and it will be even more difficult to advance. However, every time you advance, you will receive a greater increase in strength."
Lin Feng nodded. In the next few days, he had been cultivating diligently. A few disciples of the Heaven Mending Peak also went to the outer court disciples' palace to participate in the inner court examination.
One of the things that happened made people not know whether to laugh or cry. Because the old drunkard didn't get a recommendation, he went to the examination area and caused a lot of trouble, causing the elders in charge of the examination to have a headache.
Shouldn't the old drunkard be kicked out? After all, he was a disciple of the Blue Cloud Sect, and at such an old age. If he was an ordinary disciple, he would have been kicked out long ago. However, they couldn't do that to the old drunkard.
If they kicked out an old fellow like the old drunkard, the Blue Cloud Sect's reputation would be damaged.
In the end, an elder decided to let the old drunkard participate in the examination. Who would have thought that the old drunkard would pass all the examinations, causing the elders in charge of the examination to be dumbfounded. Although they felt that it was a waste of resources for the old drunkard to enter the inner court at such an old age, they couldn't do it.
They didn't want to deprive the old drunkard of his qualifications.
As for the others, Shi Weizhu, Wang Hu, Yang Lin, and Wang Le passed all the examinations.
Jing Ping, Zhang Tianyuan, and Pei Junyang failed.
Zhang Tianyuan and Pei Junyang were both in the seventh Heavenly Layer Martial King realm. They participated in the examination to give it a try. Although it was regretful that they failed, they still had hope after breaking through to the eighth Heavenly Layer Martial King realm.
This was Jing Ping's seventh time participating in the examination. This time was exactly the same as the previous time. He failed again because his Martial Spirit didn't meet the requirements.
Jing Ping stood alone on the peak of the Heaven Mending Peak, looking at the distant sea of clouds in a daze.
"With my talent, is there really no hope of entering the Yin Yang realm?" Jing Ping's face was full of bitterness.
Jing Ping, who didn't have much talent, had to put in ten times or even ten times more effort than others. Others seemed to be able to pass the inner court examination easily, but he failed again and again. This was a huge blow to Jing Ping.
Lin Feng walked over and stood with Jing Ping, looking at the sea of clouds together.
He and Jing Ping drank wine the whole night. In the end, Jing Ping burst into tears. He had worked hard for so many years, but he couldn't see any hope.
"Junior brother, I plan to leave the Blue Cloud Sect." Jing Ping said.
Lin Feng was silent. He didn't know how to persuade Jing Ping. After a long time, he said, "The world is difficult. I hope senior brother will be careful outside."
"I will." Jing Ping nodded.
The next day, Lin Feng and the others saw Jing Ping off. Looking at Jing Ping's lonely back, Lin Feng sighed.
After this farewell, would they ever meet again?
