When Lord Tang arrived at Nine Dragon Mountain again, everything on and below the mountain had changed drastically.
On Nine Dragon Mountain, other than the palace he had built himself, the entire mountain looked more like a sacred place under the construction of the award-winning construction team.
Apart from Nine Dragon Mountain, the surrounding dozens of mountains had also built exquisite buildings. A few of the main mountains even had 'sky bridges' that looked like rainbows from afar.
These were all within the boundaries of the Dadao Sect.
Two to three hundred kilometers below the mountain was the huge city.
The second phase of the project had been completed. The entire Dadao City spanned a few hundred kilometers from east to west. Of the nine rivers that flowed into Nine Dragon Mountain, two of them also passed through the city.
Today.
Today was the day the Dadao Sect openly recruited disciples. The entire Dadao City was decorated as if it was a festival.
There were many forces in the Azure Mountain Range, including humans and mutated races. Those who considered themselves geniuses had already settled down in the Dadao City.
Some were tricked into coming from all over the world, and some came on their own after the Dadao Sect's reputation spread … The young elites who wanted to join the Dadao Sect had been adjusting their breathing for the past few days, trying to keep themselves in the best condition.
Wang Hu had also made sufficient preparations.
The selection for the outer sect affairs would be held after the disciple selection.
Dang —
The melodious sound of a bell spread far and wide.
Those who were preparing for the entrance examination had already gathered outside the city, near Nine Dragon Mountain.
From afar, it looked like a black mass of at least a hundred thousand people.
"Hahaha, I've waited for the day the sect recruits disciples. From now on, I, Wang Aotian, will soar into the sky!
"I heard that according to the test scores, the disciples will be divided into outer sect disciples and inner sect disciples. With my talent, I will definitely be an inner sect disciple. Too bad the core disciple test is set three months after joining the sect. Otherwise, I, Chen Hao, would be a core disciple right away.
"The world is drunk, only I am sober. Sigh, looks like I have to wake these idiots up."
The foot of the mountain was bustling with activity. Many Void Treading State cultivators could be seen standing in mid-air, watching from afar.
"Vulgar … gold …"
Some lame words came from the dome, exploding in everyone's ears.
A mutated fish with dragon whiskers and a harpoon in its hand stepped on the hundred-meter-tall waves and sped over from within Nine Dragon Mountain.
"It's the Guardian Spirit Beast of the Dao Sect, the Dragonfish!"
During the past three months, this wasn't the first time the Dragonfish had made an appearance. There was once a Unity realm mutated beast that had harassed him but was ultimately suppressed by the Dragonfish mercilessly. That mutated beast then became another member of the spiritual beast group.
A faint aura spread out, and the originally noisy foot of the mountain instantly became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Buzz buzz buzz —
At the peak of the Jiulong Mountain, a golden light burst out, dispersing the clouds and revealing the fairyland-like mountain peak.
A huge door appeared in front of the mountain peak.
At the foot of the mountain, a group of excited people looked up.
The two tightly shut doors of the huge portal slowly opened, creating ripples in space.
Tang Yu, dressed in a black robe, stepped out. Around his body, flames bloomed and withered like lotus flowers, water flowed like ribbons, lightning flashed, and space cracks opened and closed.
Elaine held the sacred artifact, Ice Cry, wore a headband with mysterious inscription patterns, and had a pair of purple crystal earrings on her earlobes. She walked gracefully behind them.
In this situation, even Nancy's footsteps became serious.
Tang Yu looked down and smiled. His voice sounded like a cool breeze in everyone's ears.
"I am Tang Yu, the Sect Master of the Grand Dao Sect. Welcome to the entrance examination. Even if you might fail, don't forget that as long as you are in the Grand Dao City, you will have the opportunity to become stronger.
"Without further ado, the entrance examination of the Grand Dao Sect will now … officially begin!"
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden change.
Xiu!
A black light appeared in the crowd, and the surrounding light seemed to be swallowed.
In the next second.
A few figures in the crowd suddenly launched an attack. They burned their source energy without any hesitation, and all kinds of spells were smashed towards Tang Yu and the others who were standing in front of the spatial door.
Elaine was expressionless. She took a step forward and lightly pointed with her white finger. All the spells and energy stopped in the air. If one looked carefully, one could see that countless flames, wind, and frost were all frozen at this moment.
Elaine pointed out again. There was no Origin Energy gushing out. A few figures in the crowd that had attacked were frozen into a lump of frost in an instant.
Their auras instantly disappeared.
The original appearance of the human race had also turned into a green-faced, two-horned alien race.
Impressively, it was a few alien race experts in disguise. They wanted to cause trouble when the sect was recruiting disciples.
Perhaps it was also a test!
Hmm, a test?
Tang Yu didn't turn his head and sensed a very 'obvious' spatial fluctuation not far away.
A pitch-black figure had already appeared near the spatial door. He couldn't see his appearance clearly, but this figure held a divine dagger and stabbed straight at him.
Wherever it passed, even the space was torn open with a small crack.
The Unity realm humans who were watching around exclaimed.
The disturbance in the crowd was just a bait!
The real killer move was the killer hidden in the darkness, a top expert who could easily cut open space!
"Hmph!"
Tang Yu snorted lightly, stirring the space within a few kilometers around the pitch-black figure. The killer who was hiding in the space was squeezed out by the spatial force.
In terms of mastery and use of spatial power, Tang Yu was confident that he could throw the killer ten streets away.
In other aspects, Tang Yu didn't intend to compete with the killer.
The moment the killer was forced out of the space, Gray Blade's entire body merged into the shadow and emerged from the back of the killer like a shadow.
The two divine daggers intertwined.
Clang!
Gray Blade slashed with a backhand.
The killer frowned and had no choice but to fight Gray Blade in close combat.
The pitch-black figure and the blurry shadow constantly twisted in the air.
Finally …
Puchi, Gray Blade traded injury for injury, and the moment his Level 3 Divine Weapon dagger cut through his opponent's skin, a burst of power hidden within the dagger suddenly erupted, blasting the pitch-black figure's chest into pieces.
This scene, in the eyes of Tang Yu and the others, was a slightly difficult fight. But in the eyes of the surrounding people, it was only a short moment.
The killer appeared.
The killer froze in the air for a moment.
The killer was intercepted by the Grand Dao Sect's elder.
The killer fell.
Even the surrounding Unity realm could only see countless flickering blade shadows. They couldn't see the fight between the two sides clearly, nor could they see how the pitch-black figure fell.
They only knew …
The elder on the right pointed out with a finger, and the few Unity realm experts in the crowd were instantly frozen.
As for the elder on the left, he killed the terrifying assassin in an instant.
The Grand Dao Sect's Sect Master just stood there quietly. His expression didn't change. It was clear that he didn't care about the attack at all!
As expected of a supreme sect of the human race!
With such an expert in the sect, sooner or later, the Grand Dao Sect would become a top power of the Mountain Sea World!
Tang Yu was expressionless, but he only wanted to laugh in his heart.
The Grand Dao City wasn't within the boundaries of his territory, but it was around Nine Dragon Mountain. Those huge scarlet dots of light were too eye-catching in his eyes.
Originally, he was thinking about how to display the Grand Dao Sect's strength without making it seem too deliberate. After all, most people didn't see the scene of Elaine capturing the dragonfish alive.
The appearance of the attacker was like sending a pillow when he was sleepy, taking the initiative to help him display his strength.
This was an international friend, no, a friend from another world!
Such a selfless spirit, made Great Lord Tang extremely moved.
Gray Blade flew over with the corpse of the pitch-black assassin. "Lord, this is just a clone."
Tang Yu had expected this.
Only a clone would be so fragile. A God Realm cultivator with the ability to be reborn from a single drop of blood, under the effect of the power of laws, would need several slashes to kill him. One slash was impossible.
This corpse was like a person wearing a tight-fitting night suit. It was black from head to toe, black to the extreme.
Tang Yu paid more attention to this assassin.
The assassin had just displayed a trace of the power of the laws of space. However, he wasn't an invincible expert like he had imagined. An invincible expert, even if it was just a clone, would be able to suppress Gray Blade.
Hmm … or perhaps, this was just a clone with 'limited combat power'?
Tang Yu didn't think too much about it. He just ordered Gray Blade to put away the clone, and then looked at the crowd below. "They're just some small fry. Don't worry about them. Now, the sect's disciple examination will continue."
After he finished speaking, he disappeared in a flash. Elaine, Gray Blade, and the others also disappeared.
Matters like the entrance examination were naturally not handled by him, the Sect Master, or the other Elders.
Nowadays, the Da Dao Sect had already gained a certain level of fame. Before the entrance examination, the scene of the Blood Edge Assassin had played out. The humans and foreign races at the foot of the mountain were all clamoring to join the Da Dao Sect. There was no need for them to do anything.
After all, the Sect Master and Elders were powerhouses who stood at the peak of the world. They couldn't be approached too easily. They had to maintain a certain level of dignity. He had already divided the upper and lower levels of the sect.
In general, it was divided into the Inner Sect and the Outer Sect.
The Inner Sect was the core of the Da Dao Sect. From top to bottom, there were the Sect Master, Sect Elders, Sect Protectors, True Disciples, Core Disciples, Inner Sect Disciples, and so on.
As for the Outer Sect, it was mainly responsible for the external affairs of the Da Dao Sect, including the management of the Da Dao City.
There were Outer Sect Elders, Outer Sect Deacons, and Outer Sect Officers.
There was a clear hierarchy. The Mountain Sea Realm didn't care about equality. The strong naturally had the privileges of the strong.
The Outer Sect was responsible for the entrance examination.
Currently, the Deacons and Officers hadn't been recruited from the outside yet. Manpower was limited. So, they pulled in the people of the garrison to help.
There were hundreds of thousands of people participating in the entrance examination this time, and the majority of them were humans.
With so many people, they naturally couldn't use the method of the Gate of Immortality's examination. The examination of 10,000 candidates lasted for a whole day. At that time, it was in the nature of publicity.
"Our Da Dao Sect's examination is mainly divided into several aspects. Cultivation, age, aptitude, perception, and temperament … This old man is an Outer Sect Elder, and is responsible for the examination arrangements …"
At the foot of the mountain, there was a high platform made of jade.
On the platform, several figures stood. The figure in the front was no stranger to many of the Tree Shade's adventurers. It was the famous powerhouse of the Tree Shade's official, Yan Dingtian, whose best result was the 91st floor of the "Trial Tower". Although the peak of the "Trial Tower" was no longer the 100th floor, but the 150th floor.
Old Yan saw that the dense crowd in front of him had quieted down and obediently listened to his explanation of the specific rules. Among them, there were more than a dozen Unity realm powerhouses. He was secretly pleased.
In the Tree Shade, although he was indeed a well-known powerhouse, how could he have such a moment of attention?
Any random mysterious powerhouse under the Lord's command was likely to be stronger than him.
Just like last week, he finally passed the 90th floor of the "Trial Tower". This checkpoint that he had been stuck in for half a year suddenly made his ranking rise by three places. Just as he was receiving the cheers of the others in the training camp, an unknown woman began to challenge the "Trial Tower". The record showed that it was her first time challenging the "Trial Tower", but she directly broke through the 100th floor, causing the entire "Spiritual Space" to be full screen.
Old Yan was stunned.
He felt like the whole world was against him!
Couldn't they let him enjoy half an hour? No, even five minutes of cheering would be fine!
As for the powerhouses that emerged from time to time under the Lord's command, Yan Dingtian had accepted it.
After a period of hard work and all kinds of cultivation resources and training grounds that he exchanged for with contribution points, Old Yan broke through again in his lifetime, less than three years after breaking through to Transcendent, and became a Transcendent Stage 2 powerhouse!
He was on the same level as the Ancient Spirit Dynasty's Royal Lord. Even in the Tree Shade, he was … Forget it.
In the Mountain Sea World, Old Yan also knew that he was not a top powerhouse, but with the identity of the Daodao Sect's outer sect elder, he once again enjoyed the attention of tens of thousands of people.
Even those who were at the Unity realm similar to him had to be quiet.
"On my left, there are 100 stone tablets. As long as you put your palm on the stone tablet, you will be able to measure your cultivation and age."
"On my right, there is a large trial array that can accommodate ten thousand people at the same time. It mainly tests temperament, perception, and so on."
After Yan Dingtian finished, other outer sect deacons and Garrison Corps hunters, as well as some temporary workers like Wang Hu, began to arrange the order of the assessment.
Hundreds of thousands of people began to participate in the assessment according to the registration time.
The stone tablets were efficient and convenient. As long as you put your palm on the stone tablet, you could see your cultivation and age at a glance according to the light and lines on the stone tablet. There was a person next to each stone tablet to register.
"Xiao Dong, 18 years old, Third Awakening Stage, low level."
"Tang Richen, 15 years old, Ninth Awakening Stage, intermediate level."
"Diwen Haoyu, 22 years old, Eleventh Awakening Stage, high level."
"Yang Yue, 20 years old, Perfect Awakening Stage, quasi-super level."
"Hong Bin, 25 years old, Perfect Awakening Stage, quasi-super level!"
Every time a genius under the age of 30 with perfect cultivation appeared, it always caused a burst of exclamation. These geniuses' elders and fellow villagers were very proud.
"After entering the inner sect, you must work hard and strive to become a core disciple of the Daodao Sect as soon as possible. Our Redwater Tribe only has one top genius like you."
"We came here from the faraway Land of Chaos. Our life is stable, but it is not enough. You three are top geniuses. After entering the Daodao Sect, you must cooperate sincerely and gain a foothold in the sect. Only then can you obtain more resources and let our Land of Chaos branch become the main force of the Daodao Sect."
"Top geniuses who reached the Perfect Awakening Stage before the age of 30. Remember, these will be your competitors in the future. Tsk, how come there is another one without cultivation? The Daodao Sect doesn't screen out these trash during the disciple assessment. "
At the assessment site, people from the same region often gathered together.
For example, many people from the Cliff Heart Empire's army had signed up for the entrance assessment. Most of them knew each other, so they naturally gathered together.
There were also many from the human tribes, forming small groups.
Similar warnings came from the elders of the Ethereal Treading and Unity realm from time to time.
