The entrance test of the Myriad God Ridge was a stone gateway erected on a square. It had four columns and a stone door with three holes. Such a stone gateway was typically used in the mortal world to commend top scholars or chaste women. It was rarely seen in the world of warriors.
From the outside, there was nothing special about the stone gateway. It even looked out of place in the square. However, when Yi Yun saw the stone gateway, he pricked up his eyebrows. He saw that behind the stone gateway's door, there was a small world connected to it!
If one circled to the back of the stone gateway, there was nothing there. However, if one were to directly pass through the stone gateway's three holes, they would be able to step into the pocket world.
However, there was a restriction in front of the stone gateway. If one did not know the rules of the restriction, they would not be able to enter.
At that moment, a group of people, including Yi Yun, who had received their registration tokens, were standing outside the stone gateway. They were waiting for the test in a daze. They did not know what the stone gateway was for.
"Senior, if I were to enter the Myriad God Ridge, would you do me the honor of treating you to a drink?"
Yi Yun stood in front of the stone gateway and snapped out of his reverie. He said to Old Snake with a smile. It was unlikely that the old fellow would reject a drink, right?
Indeed, Old Snake beamed when he heard that. "That would be great. I'm very picky when it comes to alcohol. Typical alcohol won't catch my eye."
As Old Snake spoke, he took out an alcohol calabash out of nowhere. He deliberately shook it, producing the sound of alcohol splashing. Following that, Old Snake pulled out the calabash's stopper and took a mouthful.
The surrounding people were rendered speechless when they heard the duo's conversation. What sort of person was this? His tone was like the Myriad God Ridge was a teahouse. He could enter just like that?
Not to mention the crazy old man, the young man was also a fool.
Yi Yun naturally ignored the people around him. He looked at the stone door with three holes and sneered inwardly. The examinees were making a ruckus, but no one knew that behind the stone gateway stood three men and a woman. They were looking at them indifferently!
They were dressed in purple clothes with the words' Myriad God 'embroidered on their chests. Yi Yun could sense that the purple clothes looked soft, but they were likely superior-grade defensive clothes. Even the embroidery of the words' Myriad God 'was made of deep-sea gold. The gold powder of deep-sea gold was excellent material for inscribing Dao patterns. The words' Myriad God 'looked like text, but they themselves were Dao patterns. Laws were engraved within them, making them no trifling matter.
Without a doubt, the three men and woman definitely enjoyed illustrious standing in the Myriad God Ridge.
At this moment, the four of them were standing in the small world, and they were separated by the stone gateway's restriction, so no one could see them. Their indifferent expressions carried a lingering sense of arrogance.
At that moment, the four were standing in the pocket world. With the stone gateway's restrictions separating them, no one could see them. Their nonchalant expressions had a lingering arrogance to them.
"Senior Brother Ji, look at the kind of disciples that want to enter our Myriad God Ridge. Every time, it's just some useless soldiers and crab generals that come to join in the fun. From what they say, they seem to be more confident in joining than I am. They seem to believe that our Myriad God Ridge will accept anyone."
Upon hearing the man's grumble, the woman shook her head and said, "The entrance test is held once every three days. Each time, more than ten thousand people are accepted. Most of the people that can be accepted have already been accepted. The rest are naturally useless. It's only normal for such a situation to happen."
Upon hearing the woman's explanation, the man said perplexedly, "Senior Sister Jin, I've never been able to figure out this matter. Our Myriad God Ridge is one of the top sects in the Calm Sea region, but isn't the entrance test a little too frequent? Is it really just for the entrance fee of tens of thousands of Spirit Jade? Look at what the women of the Clear Lunar Island are saying about us. The Clear Lunar Island's strength might not be comparable to our Myriad God Ridge, but they only accept disciples once every two years. Furthermore, the selection is strict and they only accept geniuses. They deride our Myriad God Ridge's entrance test as a gathering place for mediocre people. "
The woman wanted to explain but she stopped just as she was about to say something. And at that moment, the man who had previously been addressed as' Senior Brother Ji 'spoke. He said, "Junior Sister Jin, there's no need to hold back. In a few days, Junior Brother Song will be taken in as a disciple by Elder Taiqing. In that case, he will also be a personal disciple. Such matters are no secret among personal disciples, so there's no harm in telling him."
"Alright then." The woman nodded and looked at the thick-browed man. She said, "Our Myriad God Ridge has a mystical item. As for its exact origins, I'm not the only one who doesn't know. Even the Myriad God Ridge's Elders do not know. This mystical item seems to have a world sealed within it and there are precious treasures inside. And this mystical item only recognizes those who are fated with it. This so-called fate is difficult to define. It seems like people with higher talent are more likely to be fated, but it's not absolute. Decades ago, there was a youth with mediocre talent and terrible nomological insights who stirred the item and produced an item. This item was highly valued by the patriarch and as a result, the youth became a core disciple."
"Patriarch … Patriarch?" Upon hearing the words' Patriarch ', Junior Brother Song's eyes widened. The Myriad God Ridge's Patriarch was rarely heard of, much less seen. This was because there was often no news of him for more than a hundred thousand years. It was unknown if he was in seclusion or traveling the world.
In the Calm Sea, the Myriad God Patriarch was famous and feared by everyone. He was not born in the Calm Sea but came from the depths of the Sinkhole. To the Myriad God Ridge, he was a god-like existence.
For a figure like Junior Brother Song, it was rare for him to even meet the sect master. As for the Patriarch, he could not even look up to him.
Now that he had heard of the Patriarch, Junior Brother Song felt extremely excited.
"That's why, because we've learned from the mistakes of the past, we've followed the instructions of the Sect Leader and been searching for fated people all these years. However, the fate of fated people is also divided into different levels. It's too difficult to find a person with great fate. Although you don't like these disciples in front of you, what if one of them is fated?"
Senior Sister Jin's explanation made Junior Brother Song's blood boil with excitement. The Myriad God Ridge's heritage was indeed deep. Furthermore, he had unexpectedly heard news of the Patriarch. As long as the Patriarch was around, the Myriad God Ridge would reign supreme in the Calm Sea.
If only he could become the Patriarch's personal disciple. Such a thought flashed across Junior Brother Song's mind. Of course, such extravagant hopes were only wishful thinking.
"Alright, let's not discuss such matters. All of you just need to do your jobs well. Let the entrance test begin."
At that moment, a middle-aged man's voice sounded. A purple-robed middle-aged man walked out from the depths of the pocket world.
He was tall and thin, and his body exuded an aura that was as sharp as a blade. Behind him was a hazy gray fog, like a chaotic void. Looking at it, one would feel as if one's gaze was about to be sucked into it.
