As soon as Xiao Zhen's voice fell, the upper echelons of the various God Emperor forces had all arrived. However, not all of them had arrived, and each of them had left one person outside.
For example, the Linghu family. Only the two elders, Heng and Huan, had entered. Linghu Zhengxing was still outside.
For example, the Hidden Fog Sect's Sect Master Qian Yin and Grand Elder Lei had entered. However, Vice Sect Master Murong Suifeng was still outside.
There was also the Murong family. The Murong family's Patriarch, Murong Yunliu, had entered. However, the elder beside him was still outside.
Now, among the people who had entered, besides the upper echelons of the various God Emperor forces, there were also some people who weren't from the God Emperor forces.
These people were either rogue cultivators or upper echelons of some God King forces. Moreover, they all had their juniors present.
"Duan Lingtian, do you think I can successfully pass the Tianlong Clan's inner sect disciple assessment?"
Hou Qingning's voice sounded in Duan Lingtian's ear. His tone was slightly nervous.
"Why? Are you worried that Third Miss passed the inner sect disciple assessment but you didn't? "
Duan Lingtian asked with a smile.
Hou Qingning was silent for a moment. After a while, he finally replied, "Yes."
"If you don't pass the inner sect disciple assessment, it's fine for you to enter the Tianlong Clan as an outer sect disciple … Every ten years, outer sect disciples have a chance to participate in the inner sect disciple assessment."
Duan Lingtian said.
"I'm also worried about another situation."
Hou Qingning smiled bitterly. "If she doesn't pass the inner sect disciple assessment, I shouldn't be able to pass either … My strength is still inferior to hers."
"Then why don't you just go back to the Murong family with her?"
Duan Lingtian shook his head and said, "As a direct descendant of the Murong family, if she can't become an inner sect disciple of the Tianlong Clan, there's no point in her staying in the Tianlong Clan."
"I know that."
Hou Qingning said, "But, before I left, I told her … even if I can't become an inner sect disciple of the Tianlong Clan, I will strive to become an outer sect disciple of the Tianlong Clan."
Hearing Hou Qingning's words, Duan Lingtian laughed in his heart, "You really lifted a rock only to drop it on your own feet."
"Don't worry. She'll be overjoyed if you follow her back to the Murong family. She won't care about what you said before."
…
While Duan Lingtian and Hou Qingning were chatting, a figure broke through the air and arrived in the sky above Duan Lingtian and the rest in the blink of an eye.
This was a tall and handsome middle-aged man with a jade-like face. He wore a long grey robe and stood there as straight as a javelin.
Duan Lingtian's eyes were sharp. He saw the identity token hanging on the man's waist at a glance and felt a sense of deja vu.
After thinking about it for a while, he remembered again.
In the past, Xue Haichuan also had such an identity token on his waist. The front was carved with a dragon, and the dragon was inlaid with something like white jade. It looked like a white dragon.
Duan Lingtian didn't even need to guess to know that this was the identity token of the White Dragon Elder of the Tianlong Clan.
"This is a White Dragon Elder."
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
Although the White Dragon Elder of the Tianlong Clan was a mid-level Divine Emperor like the inner sect elder of the Tianlong Clan, the strength of the two couldn't be compared.
For example, although the inner sect elder and core elder of the Linghu Clan were both high-level Divine Kings, the difference in strength was like the difference between heaven and earth.
For example, the inner sect elder of the Tianlong Clan, Kuang Tianzheng, whom Duan Lingtian had dealt with, and the White Dragon Elder of the Tianlong Clan, Xue Haichuan, were both mid-level Divine Emperors, but if they really fought, Kuang Tianzheng might not even be able to take three moves in front of Xue Haichuan.
This was the difference between the White Dragon Elder of the Tianlong Clan and the inner sect elder.
The White Dragon Elder of the Tianlong Clan symbolized the top mid-level Divine Emperors of the Tianlong Clan.
And in the Tianlong Clan, above the White Dragon Elder was the Black Dragon Elder … The Black Dragon Elder was basically a high-level Divine Emperor, and their strength was extremely good.
"Greetings, Elder Dongfang!"
"Greetings, Elder Dongfang!"
…
Following the appearance of this White Dragon Elder, the four inner sect elders of the Tianlong Clan present all respectfully bowed to the person who had come.
Immediately afterwards, the members of various Divine Emperor level forces, as well as those who were not from Divine Emperor level forces, all bowed to the person who had come.
Of course, at this moment, there were still some people who did not know the identity of the person who had come.
However, as the surrounding people whispered to each other, they quickly confirmed the identity of the person who had come from the White Dragon Medallion hanging from his waist.
The White Dragon Elder of the Tianlong Clan.
"I am the White Dragon Elder of the Tianlong Clan, Dongfang Yannian."
At the same time, the person who had come also opened his mouth to introduce himself. At the same time, he also let Duan Lingtian and the others know his name, Dongfang Yannian.
"I am fully in charge of the inner sect disciple's entrance examination."
Dongfang Yannian said again.
Just as everyone's hearts trembled, Dongfang Yannian's gaze passed through the crowd and landed on a purple figure.
"Mn?"
Seeing Dongfang Yannian's gaze land on him, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but feel a bit dazed.
"Also, in view of the Linghu family's Consecrator Duan Lingtian's performance in the qualifier, I will give him special permission to not participate in the inner sect disciple's entrance examination. He can directly become an inner sect disciple of our Tianlong Clan."
When Dongfang Yannian spoke again, apart from the three inner sect elders of the Tianlong Clan, everyone else turned pale with fright.
This was because they had never heard that the Tianlong Clan's entrance examination could be like this.
However, after thinking about it, most people understood.
Everyone present had either personally witnessed Duan Lingtian's performance in the third round of the inner sect disciple's entrance examination, or heard of Duan Lingtian's performance through transmission.
Based on Duan Lingtian's performance, even if he participated in the inner sect disciple's entrance examination, it would only be a formality.
"Of course."
Dongfang Yannian continued, "If any of the young geniuses below five thousand years of age have any objections, you can also challenge Duan Lingtian."
When Dongfang Yannian said this, the mouths of many people standing around Duan Lingtian couldn't help but twitch.
Challenge Duan Lingtian?
Wasn't that just looking for a beating?
"Four elders, please lead them to the examination hall."
Seeing that no one had any objections, Dongfang Yannian withdrew his gaze from the young geniuses below five thousand years of age around Duan Lingtian and looked towards the four inner sect elders who had led Duan Lingtian and the three groups of people in, as well as the elders of these young geniuses.
"Yes."
The four respectfully accepted the order, and once again, each of them led a group of people and stepped into the air.
Just as Duan Lingtian was about to join in the fun, Dongfang Yannian stopped him.
Dongfang Yannian called out to him. "Duan Ling Tian, stay."
"Hm?"
Duan Lingtian paused and looked at Dongfang Yannian in confusion. Even the two elders of the Linghu family, Heng and Huan, were looking at Dongfang Yannian with slightly furrowed brows. A hint of caution appeared in their eyes as well.
"Junior brother Haichuan told me to bring you over."
Dongfang Yannian sent a message to Duan Lingtian.
Junior brother Haichuan.
Dongfang Yannian's words made Duan Lingtian immediately think of Xue Haichuan. However, for safety's sake, he still sent a message to Xue Haichuan.
Back then, Xue Haichuan had exchanged soul orbs with him.
"Brother Duan, you sure are careful."
After receiving the message, Xue Haichuan immediately replied, "Senior brother Dongfang is one of my closest friends in the Tianlong Clan. He's not someone from the Thousand Demon Sect or vice sect master Xue's side. You can rest assured."
"Moreover, even if he's from the Thousand Demon Sect or vice sect master Xue's side, he wouldn't dare to kill you in the Tianlong Temple. You can rest assured."
From Xue Haichuan's words, it was clear that he knew Duan Lingtian's concerns.
"There's still some time before the sect entrance exam. If you want to join in on the fun, why don't you come to my place? If you're interested in the sect entrance exam, I can have senior brother Dongfang send a mirror image of the exam situation over there for you to see."
Xue Haichuan smiled.
Hearing this, Duan Lingtian immediately stopped hesitating. After greeting the two elders and Hou Qingning and telling them not to worry, he left with Dongfang Yannian.
On the way, Dongfang Yannian praised, "Duan Lingtian, I've never seen junior brother Haichuan praise another person as much as he praises you … In the future, I'll be looking forward to your guidance in the Tianlong Clan."
Although Dongfang Yannian was a White Dragon Elder, he didn't put on any airs when he chatted with Duan Lingtian. He even acted as if he was talking to him as an equal.
Just this alone made Duan Lingtian think highly of him.
Of course, he also knew that birds of a feather flocked together. Since Dongfang Yannian was on good terms with Xue Haichuan, it meant that this person had received Xue Haichuan's approval.
As for Xue Haichuan, he had also received Duan Lingtian's approval in the past.
Under these circumstances, Duan Lingtian was also happy to be friends with him. "Elder Dongfang is too polite. You're a White Dragon Elder, and even if I enter the Tianlong Clan, I'll only be an ordinary inner sect disciple."
"Haha …"
Dongfang Yannian laughed loudly, "Duan Lingtian, you're too modest. With your talent, it probably won't be long before you become the youngest White Dragon Elder in the history of our Tianlong Clan."
"I even think that you have the potential to become the first God Emperor of our Tianlong Clan!"
Dongfang Yannian had a good relationship with Xue Haichuan, so he had long heard of Duan Lingtian's existence.
In addition, Duan Lingtian's performance in today's qualifier made him feel that Duan Lingtian was extraordinary. It was hard to believe that this was someone who wasn't even three thousand years old.
To have such accomplishments before three thousand years old.
Looking at the history of the Tianlong Clan, even the God Emperors of the past couldn't compare to Duan Lingtian when they weren't even three thousand years old.
Not long after, Dongfang Yannian brought Duan Lingtian to Xue Haichuan's cultivation place, an independent courtyard halfway up a quiet mountain.
Before this, Dongfang Yannian also brought Duan Lingtian to the inner sect disciple registration office to complete the inner sect disciple procedures in advance.
Now, Duan Lingtian had officially become an inner sect disciple of the Tianlong Clan.
It was easier to get things done when there were people in the court.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian deeply understood the meaning of those words.
"Brother Haichuan."
When Duan Lingtian saw Xue Haichuan again, he discovered that Xue Haichuan was still as graceful as before. In fact, because he had already broken through to become a middle God King, he felt that Xue Haichuan was even more unfathomable.
