Lin Feng sat on the main seat in the All Heavens Hall at the top of Yujing Mountain. On both sides of him sat Shi Zongyue, Flowing Light Sword Master, Blue Thunder Dao Master, and other guests who had stayed in West-Hill City to attend the ceremony.
At this moment, everyone was looking at the scene shown in the light and shadow above the hall with interest.
Lin Feng gently tapped his finger on the armrest of the chair. A purple cloud fell from Yujing Mountain and turned into layers of purple cloud stairs, all the way to the people outside West-Hill City.
A group of people looked curiously at the purple cloud stairs, and Lin Feng's voice echoed between heaven and earth. "Go up the stairs, and those who can reach the top can become my disciples. The time limit is one day, and the countdown begins now."
Everyone looked at each other curiously and began to walk up the stairs together.
At first, it was nothing, but after walking along the purple cloud stairs for a while, the purple cloud in front of them became thicker and thicker. In the end, it was like a cloud, making it impossible to see the road clearly. Looking around, they found that their companions who were just beside them had disappeared.
On the stairs, in the purple cloud, it was so dark that they couldn't see their fingers. If they shouted, they couldn't hear anyone's answer. It was as if they were the only person left in the world.
After all, they were a group of young people. Although some of them came from aristocratic families, they could still remain calm at the beginning, but as time passed, they began to panic more and more, and all kinds of emotions appeared.
Some of them kept climbing up, hoping to get off the stairs and reach the top of the mountain as soon as possible. Some of them were running around like headless flies. There were even some who turned around and ran down the stairs, hoping to get rid of this strange nightmare-like environment in front of them.
Only a few people with outstanding aptitude and a firm mind could rely on their own perception to explore and move forward in the purple cloud.
But as they walked, layers of illusions appeared in front of them. The people who took the test could not distinguish the illusions. The purple cloud extracted things from the depths of their Divine Souls and wove a reasonable scene, making everyone who took the test believe it without a doubt.
But naturally, some of the ghosts in the depths of their hearts were fully presented.
On Jade Capital Mountain, in the Great Hall of All Heavens, Lin Feng sat still as he looked at the people in the light. His expression did not change at all, as if he turned a blind eye to them.
However, there were a few others in the hall who felt slightly uneasy. Lin Feng's supernatural power was aimed directly at the heart of a disciple. He was not interested in digging up other people's private secrets, but if it was targeted at Xuanmen Tianzong, it would be completely revealed.
Not long after, someone stood up and cupped his hands at Lin Feng to express his apology.
Lin Feng waved his hand. The other party lowered his head and left the main hall. He left the mountain obediently, too ashamed to continue sitting there.
The great waves washed away the sand, and a purple staircase served as a test. Mud and sand fell, screening out those with poor aptitudes, and also eliminating those with bad intentions.
In the end, more than two hundred people were able to ascend Jade Capital Mountain and enter the All Heavens Great Hall to perform the ceremony of apprenticeship.
The ones in the lead were Li Yuanfang, Luo Qingwu, Dao Yuting, Zhuge Wanqiu, and a few others.
They either had higher cultivation or better aptitudes, and were the first to ascend the purple staircase.
Under the arrangement of Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi, the group bowed to Lin Feng.
After the ceremony ended, Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi led them down, while Lin Feng looked at Shi Zongyue and the others. "I'll have to trouble the Great Qin in the future. If there are any disciples who want to be apprenticed, please go to the Sand Continent."
Shi Zongyue nodded. "Of course, Sect Leader Lin is too polite."
After saying goodbye to the others, Lin Feng sent him down the mountain, and then drove Jade Capital Mountain all the way back to the Kunlun Mountain Range.
At this time, the trip to West-Hill City had finally come to a successful conclusion.
If there was anything that Lin Feng was not satisfied with, it would be that the second batch of disciples' aptitudes were slightly mediocre. In the future, he would have to continue to pay attention to them, and choose disciples with potential.
On Jade Capital Mountain, the disciples' abode had already been expanded. Zhu Yi led everyone to their abode, turned around, and said, "Today is the entrance ceremony. Pay respects to the ancestors, and then I will lead you down to rest. For those who have no cultivation, I will teach you basic Dao techniques, and you will start from the beginning."
Everyone solemnly accepted the instruction. "We will follow Elder Zhu's instructions."
Zhu Yi continued, "For those who already have cultivation, no matter how high or low their cultivation is, ten days later, there will be an assessment to determine your specific inheritance. For these few days, cultivate more, and familiarize yourself with the spiritual energy waves on the mountain."
Li Yuanfang, Luo Qingwu, Dao Yuting and the others all nodded, and then everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
Other than them, the original disciples in the abode were also Silently sizing up the newcomers.
"It's fine for those who don't have Qi cultivation, but for those who do have cultivation, if they pass the assessment, wouldn't they be ahead of us?" Someone said worriedly.
The person next to him snorted, "Most of those people are from cultivation families, and they have been cultivating since they were young. They have all kinds of resources. If I had a good background, I would definitely be stronger than them."
As they were talking, Zhu Yi's voice sounded Silently, "You can also participate in the assessment ten days later. If you have the time to chat, why don't you focus on figuring out Dao techniques?"
The group of people instantly became silent. They were slightly frightened, but more excited, "That's great, I didn't pass more than a year ago, and now I have another chance! This time, I must pass the assessment and become an Inner Disciple! "
"That's right, for the past year, we have been cultivating hard on the mountain, waiting for this opportunity."
The old disciples were excited, and the new disciples were also restless, looking forward to the upcoming assessment.
This scene fell into the eyes of Li Xingfei, Xu Yunsheng, and the others, and they all looked at each other and smiled. Before they participated in the assessment, they were also full of anticipation.
Liu Xiafeng chuckled, "I wonder how many people can pass the assessment this time?"
Silently, Xu Yunsheng said, "That Brother Li will definitely pass. I saw a woman inside, and her cultivation is very high, even higher than Brother Li's. I'm afraid she is in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, or even the late stage."
Little fatty Yan Wuwei stuck out his tongue, "Then, isn't she as high as Fifth Martial Uncle?" Liu Xiafeng slapped the back of his head, and Yan Wuwei smiled, not daring to show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction. He had been too impulsive just now again.
Ying Roza stared at the disciples' abode in a daze, and after a while, he took a deep breath, turned around, and left without saying a word.
Liu Xiafeng looked at Ying Roza's back, "What is he doing?"
Li Xingfei sighed softly, "Probably going back to cultivate."
Ying Roza was extremely competitive, and he and Xu Yunsheng had always been the cream of the crop among the second generation disciples, and he had always regarded Xu Yunsheng as his only strong rival. As for the others, even Li Xingfei and Liu Xiafeng, he didn't take them seriously.
But among the new disciples this time, Li Yuanfang, Dao Yuting, Zhuge Wanqiu, and even the ten-year-old Luo Qingwu all made him feel great pressure.
If he had the time to chat here, he would rather go back and cultivate.
Xu Yunsheng cupped his hands towards Liu Xiafeng and the others, "I'm also going back to the Qian Tian Palace, everyone, farewell."
The others were not surprised. After interacting with him for a long time, they all knew that under Xu Yunsheng's modest and polite appearance, there was actually a competitive heart and a strict self-discipline. From a certain point of view, he was similar to Elrozha.
Liu Xiafeng shook his head. "So much pressure, so much pressure. Though, only when there's pressure will there be motivation."
He suddenly smiled. "Compared to the person before me, I feel like our masters and senior uncles give us even more pressure."
Yan Wuwei grinned. "Is the junior uncle really only thirteen years old? That's far too terrifying. "
The disciples on Jade Capital mountain watched the livestream. They directly entered the Dragon Arena and personally witnessed the battle between Shi Tianhao and Shi Tianyi from a close distance.
The terrifying scene was deeply engraved in their minds. In particular, Shi Tianhao was only thirteen, younger than all of them, which made them feel even more pressured.
"That Shi Tianyi is very powerful too." Li Xingfei said Silently, "During the early Yuanying period, there are very few who can rival him throughout the entire Yuanying period. The reason why the junior uncle can kill him in the late Golden Elixir is because he's stronger. It doesn't mean he's weak."
The others immediately nodded in deep agreement. Yan Wuwei suddenly smiled. "Though, the founding ancestor is still the most impressive! Before the founding ancestor, the Taixu Temple and the Mount Shu Sword Sect can't even withstand a single blow. That's far too satisfying! "
Liu Xiafeng and the others all smiled. Liu Xiafeng patted his shoulder. "You're talking nonsense again. We can't see a battle at the founding ancestor's level at all, nor can we understand it. We can only see the light and shadows flicker about. How are we supposed to understand the mysteries behind it?"
Yan Wuwei argued, "I can't understand it, but at the very least, I know that the founding ancestor won!"
They discussed, which was quite lively. Lin Feng sat in the All-Heavens Hall and looked at his disciples. He could not help but smile. "They're all the future of the sect."
…
Not to mention that the people on Mount Yujing were getting more and more popular. At this moment, in the void battlefield that was separated by the power of the boundaries, a vast void storm had just subsided.
A crack suddenly appeared in the space, and a few figures slowly walked out. They stood in the void as if they were walking on flat ground.
All of them were covered in black robes, so their faces could not be seen clearly. However, they looked similar to the emissaries of the Underworld Hall who had fallen into Lin Feng's hands.
Slowly, the leader of the group said, "The targets are Shi Tianhao's parents and his grandfather."
The rest of the people nodded in unison. The leader continued, "The master of the Celestial Gate has captured our emissaries. We can't let this matter rest. However, the hall master is still in seclusion and cannot be disturbed. Let us handle this matter."
"The master of the Celestial Gate has a high cultivation level, but he also has a weakness, which is his disciples. Shi Tianhao is his most beloved disciple and he views him as his own. Shi Tianhao's weakness lies in his blood relatives."
"His blood relatives have been lost in the void battlefield. Not long ago, we obtained their exact whereabouts. Slowly, we'll capture them now." The leader emphasized, "However, we must not clash head-on with the master of the Celestial Gate. Although he will not come to the void battlefield easily, if we encounter him, we must immediately give up. Protecting ourselves is our top priority."
"We'll talk about confronting the master of the Celestial Gate after the hall master comes out of seclusion."
The others nodded. If they had been dissatisfied with this before, after the battle in West Hill City, this dissatisfaction had completely disappeared.
"Just because we recognize his strength doesn't mean that we won't take revenge," the leader said. "Those who offend the Underworld Hall have never had a good ending."
"Xuanmen Tianzong is on bad terms with Taixu Temple and the Shushan Sword Sect. We only need to make as many preparations as possible and then wait for the right time. No matter who wins or loses, as long as there is a battle, it will be to our advantage."
