Under the gazes of the others, Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu stood Silently outside the All-Heavens Hall, waiting quietly.
The two of them didn't feel anything about the complicated gazes of the others. Li Yuanfang really didn't care, while the little girl was immersed in joy and didn't pay attention to anything else.
Slowly, the doors of the All-Heavens Hall opened. A voice rang in Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu's minds, "Come in."
The voice was calm, indifferent, and slightly amiable. It was Lin Feng's voice.
Li Yuanfang bowed and immediately walked in. Luo Qingwu also came back to her senses. She also bowed and followed behind Li Yuanfang into the hall.
On the throne in the hall, a purple-clothed young man sat cross-legged. He was relaxed and didn't look serious, but he had a dignified air about him.
An expressionless, beautiful girl with half-black and half-white hair stood behind Lin Feng's seat with a huge sword case on her back. Her eyes were indifferent, as if there was no focus in them. She didn't react to Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu's entrance, turning a blind eye to them.
Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu came before the purple-clothed young man and bowed together, "Disciple greets Ancestral Master."
The person sitting on the throne was naturally Lin Feng. After not having to suppress the Twin Sky Peaks, Xuan Li reappeared and silently followed beside him.
Lin Feng looked at the two people in front of him, faintly smiling: "Before the exam, I said that those who can pass the exam and reach Jade Capital Mountain before midnight, I will take them in as my personal disciples."
He first looked at Li Yuanfang. Li Yuanfang lowered his head slightly, "Disciple is slow, but I will definitely do my best. It's my honor to be able to become Ancestral Master's disciple."
Lin Feng smiled and nodded. He looked at Luo Qingwu and said, "You arrived at the right time, a minute before midnight."
Although he was confident in Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu, Lin Feng did not go easy on them.
The system had indeed evaluated everyone's potential, but data was just data. In the actual process, a slight deviation could cause a completely different effect.
Taking Dao Yuting as an example, if one were to calculate the total value of Innate Bone Strength, Comprehension, and Will, she and Luo Qingwu both had 24 points.
However, due to the difference in their personal life experiences, when faced with the illusion of the inner demons, there was not much difference between Luo Qingwu, who had an 8-point willpower and a 7-point willpower.
When faced with the bombardment of the treasure light, the pressure of the spiritual aura, and the test of choosing the path, her 8-point willpower was inferior to that of Luo Qingwu, who had a 9-point willpower. As a result, she arrived at the top of the pagoda slightly later than Luo Qingwu.
The two of them solved the questions at the top of the pagoda in roughly the same amount of time. However, it was precisely this difference of time that allowed the two of them to reach the top of the pagoda one after the other. They were stuck at the critical point at midnight and passed all the tests.
The time difference was not much, but the results were different.
As for this kind of deviation, Lin Feng would not deliberately correct it. Everyone had their own fate.
Luo Qingwu arrived at the last moment and became a direct disciple. If she was slightly late, it was due to her ability and fate. Lin Feng would not make an exception for her. He would let her choose between Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, and the others, just like Dao Yuting.
For Li Yuanfang, it was the same principle.
Seeing Lin Feng look at her, Luo Qingwu hurriedly lowered her body and said softly, "Xiao Wu was lucky. I will work harder in the future."
Lin Feng warmly encouraged them, then did not rush to have them perform the ceremony of becoming his disciple. Instead, he stood in the main hall and watched the process of the others going to the Six Great Heavenly Caves through the light and shadow illusion.
This time, there were no less than 200 people participating in the test, but in the end, there were less than 20 who passed. The elimination rate was shockingly high. In terms of proportion, the elimination rate was even higher than the first purple qi labyrinth test.
This was intentional on Lin Feng's part. The sect was newly established, it was the time to lay the foundation. The first generation disciples, Xiao Yan and the others, had already fully matured and would gradually become the pillars of the sect. The second generation disciples shouldered the heavy responsibility of propagating the branches and leaves, which was equally important to the future development of the sect.
As Xiao Yan and the others' cultivation grew higher and higher, they would completely open their path to becoming the Son of Heaven. They would travel the world and shock the world. At that time, it would be unrealistic to expect them to stay on the mountain and be teachers.
To put it bluntly, Xiao Yan and the others would play the role of connecting the previous and the next in education. After that, their most important contribution to the sect would be in dealing with the outside world. They would become the face of Xuanmen Tianzong and manage the overall situation of the sect.
In terms of the younger generation's inheritance and internal construction, the second generation disciples were the true main force.
In the long run, the second generation disciples, the following third generation disciples, and the fourth generation disciples would determine whether Xuanmen Tianzong was a flash in the pan or eventually grew into a powerful sect that could dominate Tianyuan even without relying on Lin Feng.
That's why Lin Feng personally presided over the last few true disciple exams. Moreover, the standards were very strict, striving for perfection.
After the development of the sect was on the right track, even if it relied on inertia, as long as it did not deviate from the general direction, it could continue to develop all the way.
What Lin Feng needed to do now was to ensure that the sect was on the right track.
Of course, there was another consideration that only he himself knew, and that was that these few Successor Disciple Assessments were the talent reserve for Lin Feng's system's main task to meet the needs of the disciples in the Golden Elixir Period.
In addition to the task requiring the total number of disciples to exceed a thousand, and the disciples in the Yuanying Period accounted for 1%, it also required the disciples in the Golden Elixir Period to account for more than 10%.
Relatively speaking, it was easier to meet the requirements than the disciples in the Yuanying Period, but it also required early preparation to accumulate more talents in advance, and then carefully train them.
In a sense, this was also a reserve for the task targets of the disciples in the Yuanying Period. Although the system gave potential data, as mentioned before, the specific development of the situation often had a lot of changes. Who knew if there would be a dark horse that rushed out of the tight encirclement and gave people a surprise?
The number of disciples who passed the assessment this time, including Dao Yuting and Zhuge Wanqiu, was a total of 19 people.
Compared to the previous round of the independent selection of the disciples' master, there was not much difference overall. Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi were the most popular.
Relatively speaking, the biggest difference was that Wang Lin's place had become very popular, instead of being visited by very few people before.
In the Void Battlefield, the later stage of the Golden Elixir Period blinded the early stage of the Yuanying Period Shi Tianyi's double pupil, directly breaking Shi Tianyi's almost invincible legend among the younger generation.
After that, he became the first disciple under Lin Feng to form his Nascent Soul. Compared to his previous low profile, such an explosive growth caused a huge contrast, and naturally left a deeper impression on people.
Wang Lin was in charge of the Scripture Depository, the important place where Xuanmen Tianzong's Taoist scriptures were stored, and it was the most important place. When he was apprenticed to a master last time, he was too low profile, and everyone did not understand him, so there were still doubts in their hearts. But now, there was no more worry in this aspect, and naturally, Wang Lin's disciples became popular.
Of course, there were some small reasons that outsiders did not know. For example, among the three goddess-like figures with the most outstanding appearance and charm among the second generation disciples, other than Zhuge Wanqiu, Dao Yuting and Li Xingfei were both under Wang Lin's tutelage …
After all, they were still young men. They were full of vigor, full of vigor …
In comparison, Yue Hongyan was more popular, while Shi Tianhao and Yang Qing were still relatively less popular.
Although Shi Tianhao had also demonstrated his prowess in the Dragon Arena, his age really was a barrier, which made many people shrink back.
After all, the rapid progress of their own cultivation was not completely equivalent to whether they were a good master or not. The second generation disciples were also hairless, but they were also worried about choosing an incompetent master.
In the end, apart from Zhuge Wanqiu, only one other person chose to go to the Desolate Heaven valley.
As for Yang Qing's Nirvana paradise, it was awkward once again. It ended up as a duck's egg. Not a single person chose to go. After all, compared to his seniors and juniors, Yang Qing had always seemed mediocre.
Among Lin Feng's many direct disciples, he had the least presence, and his cultivation was the lowest. He was like an invisible person.
When Fen Tianya, Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, and so on in the Heavenly Hall saw this, they all frowned slightly.
Yang Qing was a kind person, gentle and courteous. Outsiders felt that he was not eye-catching, but after interacting with his fellow disciples, they all had a close relationship with Yang Qing. At this moment, seeing that he was still cold in the sect, they could not help but sigh.
On the other hand, Yang Qing himself did not particularly mind this. In his opinion, there were still many aspects of his sect that he did not understand that he needed to study, let alone teach his disciples.
As for the matter of his pride, Yang Qing did not care about it at all. He had always admitted that he was indeed the worst among his seniors and juniors, so an outcome like this was normal. He would not remain indifferent because of this. He would definitely work even harder on his cultivation, but he would not feel aggrieved or indignant.
After the group of disciples chose the Blessed Land and Paradise that they wanted to be apprenticed to, it was time for Xiao Yan and the rest to test them.
The seniors and juniors had always adhered to the train of thought of choosing disciples, which was that there was no best, only better. They had high standards, strict requirements, and looked up to their master, Lin Feng. Their own disciples had to be the best.
Hence, the layers of tests caused the group of second generation disciples to complain incessantly. In the end, more than half of them could not pass the second round of tests, and were eliminated by a sea of people.
In the end, only Dao Yuting, Zhuge Wanqiu, and a few others passed Xiao Yan, Wang Lin and the rest's tests.
Lin Feng was also observing. After passing Xiao Yan's second round of tests, there were a few good seedlings that stood out.
Both of them were women. One was called Ke Jing, and the other was called Sun Xueer. Both of them performed well.
"It's just that, this group of people is a bit more Yin than Yang …" Lin Feng secretly scratched his head. Including Dao Yuting and Zhuge Wanqiu, in this second round of Successor Disciple selection, the most outstanding few people were actually all female disciples.
Including Lin Feng's side and Luo Qingwu's, poor Li Yuanfang was impressively a little green among the red mountains.
The true disciples who did not pass Xiao Yan and co.'s test were all a bit dejected, but what was worth them rejoicing over is that this time they will not be returned like the first test. They can still become true disciples, it's just that Lin Feng will randomly assign a master.
After listening to Yang Qing's own opinion, Lin Feng finally left his sect empty, and did not make a rigid assignment.
Later, everyone who had their own sect, under the leadership of their respective masters, came back to the All Heavens Hall to greet Lin Feng.
After the greeting, it was time to observe the ceremony. A group of little friends looked at Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu kneeling under Lin Feng with slight envy, and formally performed the ceremony of apprenticeship.
