Su Fang had heard of the internal selection before.
The Constellation of Nine Heavens competition was a grand event. The requirement to participate was to be a Cave Immortal. Only disciples who had cultivated for ten thousand years could participate. If one had cultivated for more than twenty thousand years and had participated in the previous competition, they would not be qualified to participate again.
Ten thousand years.
On the surface, it looked quite fair. Disciples like Baby Huangfu who had cultivated for a thousand years were naturally at a disadvantage. Many disciples had cultivated for more than five thousand years. Regardless of cultivation, mystical abilities, or strength, they were all Cave Immortals.
Very few disciples who had been in Star Palace for less than five thousand years signed up. Those who had cultivated for five thousand years were naturally no match for those who had cultivated for close to ten thousand years.
Before the competition, the nine dojos would conduct an internal selection. It was a test. Only disciples who passed the test could officially sign up and participate in the competition.
Su Fang roughly understood this. After leaving the pavilion, he met up with Baby Huangfu. This time, he did not bring any followers. He flew directly to Huangfu's main peak with Su Fang.
Main peak.
At this moment, disciples could be seen flying through the clouds from all directions. They landed in the main peak's square. More than ten thousand disciples had gathered in the square. They were all Cave Immortals. Many of them had even surpassed the Cave Immortal Realm. They were about the same cultivation level as Baby Huangfu.
In the great world, those with mediocre talent were almost all Spirit Immortals within ten thousand years. Those with a certain amount of talent could become Cave Immortals. Only those with extraordinary talent could become Cave Immortals within ten thousand years.
The Cave Immortal Realm was an insurmountable obstacle.
Essence Immortals used heaven and earth's spiritual energy in the great world to create an immortal body. Spirit Immortals used the foundation of body refinement to connect with heaven and earth. They began to pursue the power of the world.
Cave Immortals had to embark on the path of true cultivation of the power of the world. It was difficult to overcome the tribulation. Even if one did, it was not easy to form a Cave Immortal. Furthermore, after entering the Cave Immortal Realm, cultivation would be even more difficult.
In this great world, not every cultivator was like the disciples of the Constellation of Nine Heavens. They were lucky enough to have this ancient dojo, the Nine Heavenly Stars Small Phase Art, and a dojo that was filled with the power of the world. A Cave Immortal Realm disciple would be superior to most disciples in the Great Immortal Realm.
Hence, the Ten Thousand Year Competition was a competition of potential in Star Palace. Only those with potential could become the Eternal Star Son and become a true disciple of Star Palace.
"So many people!"
When he landed, Su Fang found himself in a sea of people. There were already tens of thousands of disciples.
While sighing, everyone gave in to him.
In reality, they were giving way to Baby Huangfu. This fellow had status and strength. Su Fang also attracted a lot of attention as she followed behind.
Young Master Bao was the grandson of the Huangfu Dojo's elder. Here, he was like a little emperor. Su Fang was also fortunate enough to be treated with courtesy.
Baby Huangfu walked to the front of the group. Many disciples took the initiative to talk to him.
But some people.
Su Fang noticed. Ever since he had arrived, he had been paying attention to the tens of thousands of disciples.
More than half of the disciples nearby did not notice the Baby Huangfu. Su Fang could guess their identities. They should be disciples with a different surname.
Among the tens of thousands of disciples, most of them were disciples with a different surname. Some of them were even powerful. Su Fang noticed that many disciples with a different surname were above the Grotto Immortal Realm. They were all very cold.
Among the tens of thousands of disciples, less than one percent of them were above the Grotto Immortal Realm. Among these people, most of them could become Eternal Star Sons without any danger.
"Huangfu Clan's disciples and disciples with a different surname are obviously estranged. Luckily, most of the disciples in the Constellation of Nine Heavens are disciples with a different surname. Otherwise, a dojo like Huangfu Clan would be able to control the entire Star Palace."
Time continued to pass. Su Fang stood behind Baby Huangfu silently. At around noon, there were about fifty thousand disciples gathered in the square. These were all Grotto Immortals born in the past ten thousand years.
Su Fang even saw a familiar face. It was Huangfu Hao. But he did not see Huangfu Yun Xuan. Only then did he know that as the son of Huangfu Yun Hai, Huangfu Yun Xuan had cultivated for more than ten thousand years. In the last Aeon Competition, he became Eternal Star Son.
Soon, Huangfu Duan, Huangfu Yun Hai, and the other higher-ups of the dojos, about a hundred people appeared. They formed a huge array in front of everyone. Ten doors appeared.
Su Fang also saw Huangfu Xiao Xiao among them. She was an expert who had a good relationship with Huangfu Fei. Most of them were also higher-ups formed by disciples with a different surname.
But he did not see the mysterious Huangfu Elder. Huangfu Fei was also nowhere to be seen. He reckoned that a true disciple like her would not appear in such a competition.
"The rules are very simple."
One of the higher-ups, who was not from the Huangfu Clan, was a middle-aged man. He introduced the array in front of the tens of thousands of disciples. "There are three tests inside the array. If you can pass these three tests, you will pass the test. The first test tests your Qigong and divine abilities. The second test tests your Yang Immortals. The third test tests you against puppets. Only by passing the three tests will you have the qualifications to compete with the geniuses of the eight great dojos and show the might of our dojos. The competition will now begin. Everyone, line up and prepare your disciple identity medallions.
"Yes!"
The tens of thousands of disciples replied in unison. Their voices shook the mountains.
At this time, there were many disciples around the square who were watching the excitement. After all, this was a competition that only happened once every ten thousand years.
"Brother, you have to do well. I'll be waiting for you at the top of the square."
Baby Huangfu and the ten people at the front of the line walked towards the ten doors. Before leaving, they smiled and nodded at Su Fang before swaggering away.
"Young Master Bao's current cultivation level."
After nodding, Su Fang, who was behind the dozens of people, sensed Young Master Bao's cultivation level and knew that he would definitely pass the test. "Surpassing Cave Immortal Realm. Rumor has it that it's the mysterious Heaven Immortal Realm."
Virtual Immortal, Spirit Immortal, and Cave Immortal. Surpassing these three realms was the Heaven Immortal Realm that everyone envied.
He did not know much about the Heaven Immortal Realm. He began to search for information about this realm. After all, it was not easy for him to reach the Cave Immortal Realm. The Heaven Immortal Realm was still very far away.
"When the Cave Immortal Realm forms a Heaven's Grotto, one can surpass the Virtual Immortal and Spirit Immortal realms. Through the Heaven's Grotto, one's Golden Core can directly absorb the power of the world."
"As for the Heaven Immortal Realm, after entering the Heaven Immortal Realm, the fusion between the Immortal and the Heavenly Cave has reached the extreme. It's like being one with the heavens. Immortals cultivate through the Cave Immortal Realm and familiarize themselves with the Heavenly Cave. They can then activate their Golden Core and control their domain. It will be easier for them to absorb the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth and cultivate the Power of the World. They can also begin to cultivate more unfathomable powers through the cultivation of the Heavenly Cave.
"Is this the Heaven Immortal Realm?"
Su Fang did not know until he saw it. Once he understood the Heaven Immortal Realm, he was shocked.
Borrowing the power of the Heavenly Cave.
Extracting the essence of Heaven and Earth.
Su Fang knew about this. Back then, when he was cultivating in the Small World, the goal of many dojos and cultivation was to allow human cultivators to use their own cultivation, their physical bodies, Yang Immortal, and Dharmic powers to control and borrow the Power of Nature.
Back then, when he became the strongest person in the Small World, he thought that he had done it. After becoming an Immortal, he realized that the true use of the Power of Nature was not the mediocre skills of the Small World.
He slowly came back to his senses and looked at the formation in front of him. The disciples who had entered were not moving at all.
The formation was very powerful. Su Fang looked at the Heaven Immortal Realm disciples around him. Each of them had an aura of nothingness, and they were as cold as saints. "Borrowing the power of the stars, extracting the essence of heaven and earth. What a powerful Heaven Immortal Realm. No wonder Baby Huangfu's current strength is unfathomable. Is this the Heaven Immortal Realm? Fortunately, I can still sense the strength of most of the Heaven Immortal Realm geniuses here. I estimate that in the past ten thousand years, there won't be any disciple who can enter the Heaven Immortal Realm. After all, most of the disciples who have been here for ten thousand years are in the Grotto Immortal Realm."
A day passed in the blink of an eye.
Almost every disciple needed six hours to enter the formation. After a day, only a few disciples could enter the formation.
After waiting for five days, most of the disciples were very calm. However, there were also many disciples who were anxious and uneasy. Probably everyone had this feeling.
"It's finally my turn."
At noon, Su Fang was first in line. However, not long after, the expert at the entrance of the formation suddenly looked at him sternly.
He couldn't wait to reach the formation. At this moment, the formation was like a towering mountain that suddenly pressed down in front of him.
"Disciple Huangfu Shaoying. I have entered the sect for two hundred years and have entered the Grotto Immortal Realm from the Virtual Immortal Realm."
He handed the token to the other party.
The expert was recording when he suddenly stopped his immortal seal and looked at Su Fang curiously. "Your talent is not bad. Work hard. After passing through here, you can become a core disciple and enter the real dojo to cultivate."
"Thank you, Senior Apprentice Brother." No matter who the other party was, Su Fang felt very comfortable when he heard these words. After bowing, he stepped into the formation.
The Xuan Guang flickered, and the formation caused Su Fang to enter a different world.
A large number of formations intertwined, and immortal light and fog intertwined.
When it quieted down, there was a sword formation passage in front of him.
The Seven Stars Sword Formation.
After arriving at the sword formation passage, he found that he had to pass the first test. For example, the passage was sealed, and the only way to pass was to use the Nine Stars Minor Phase Art to form the Seven Stars Sword Formation. Once he reached the level of the sword formation, he would be able to control the sword formation to pass through the passage.
What a strange test.
After sensing it carefully, he realized that the first test was very important. This sword formation passage tested one's energy arts and divine abilities. If one's energy arts and divine abilities weren't proficient enough, they wouldn't be able to form the sword formation passage.
In the blink of an eye, Su Fang used the Nine Stars Minor Phase Art. Starlight true energy surged out of his body, and after reaching a certain state, he used the Seven Stars Sword Formation to absorb the true energy of the Astral Palace and form strands of sword will.
An hour later, a ring of sword formation light enveloped Su Fang. Under the protection of the sword formation light, he walked step by step toward the sword formation passage.
Chi chi!
As soon as his sword formation light touched the sword formation passage, there was a fierce collision and friction.
He tried to control the sword formation light to take a step forward, but he couldn't move the sword formation at all.
"This sword formation passage is so powerful!"
Su Fang thought. Frowning, he thought, "I'm using the power of a Four Daos Grotto Immortal, but I still can't move forward. It seems this sword formation passage is at the level of a Six Daos Grotto Immortal, or perhaps even higher."
He had just broken through to the Two Daos Grotto Immortal level, and his power was extraordinary. But in this test, he had used the power of a Two Daos Grotto Immortal, and had assumed that would be enough. Who could have guessed that he wouldn't be able to move the sword formation?
By this point, an hour had passed, and Su Fang was completely focused. "I don't have much time left. I need to get stronger. Otherwise …."
"I wonder if this disciple can pass the test."
"To be able to unleash the power of a Four Daos Grotto Immortal is already a sign of latent talent. It'll be very difficult for him to pass the test, unless he has the potential to be a Two Daos Grotto Immortal."
There were streams of will in the area of the test, which were watching Su Fang's every move.
