The moment the middle-aged man appeared, the three men and one woman in the pocket world bowed.
"Martial Uncle Mo!"
"Martial Uncle Mo!"
The Myriad God Ridge's tests were too frequent. It was sufficient for personal disciples to preside over the tests. However, if the sect's divine item was summoned, an expert at the Elder level would be needed to preside over the test.
The moment the middle-aged man appeared, Yi Yun sensed an aura as vast as the sea from him. This made Yi Yun retract his perception immediately.
"Oh?" Mo Shanqing looked up as though he had sensed something.
"Martial Uncle, what's the matter?"
"Nothing …" Mo Shanqing shook his head. "Perhaps some old fogey is interested in our Myriad God Ridge's test. However, it doesn't matter. It's absolutely impossible for them to covet our Myriad God Ridge's divine item."
Mo Shanqing did not care who came. Although he presided over the test and was in charge of the sect's divine item, he could not influence the divine item at all. It was even more impossible for others to influence it.
"I won't be going out. I'll stay in the pocket world. You can follow the procedures when you go out," said Mo Shanqing indifferently.
He had no interest in such tests. The disciples who registered were of such low standards and it was basically a waste of his time. It was too difficult to find someone who could trigger the divine item during the test.
"Yes, Martial Uncle Mo!"
The four received the order and stepped out of the stone gateway.
The warriors on the square saw a membrane of light appear out of thin air in the stone gateway. Following that, four purple-clothed Myriad God Ridge disciples stepped out of the void.
"Purple clothes and golden words. They are personal disciples of the Myriad God Ridge!"
The people who had been here many times were already used to this scene, but some of the disciples who had just arrived were a little surprised.
However, be they rookies or veterans, they were envious of the four Myriad God Ridge personal disciples from the bottom of their hearts.
They were personal disciples. Even if many of them became Myriad God Ridge disciples, they would only be outer-sect disciples. To put it bluntly, they would only do menial chores. The difference between them and personal disciples was like a chasm.
The few of them were already accustomed to such envy. Their purple clothes made them the center of attention no matter where they went.
"Welcome, fellow martial cultivators, to our Myriad God Ridge's entrance test. Our Myriad God Ridge's selection of disciples prioritizes wisdom! If you have wisdom, you can enter our Myriad God Ridge regardless of your cultivation level. At the very least, you will become an inner sect disciple! "
"If you don't have a root of wisdom, then I'm sorry, but you can only depend on your bone age and talent. We will not consider anyone who fails to enter the Dao Manifestation realm before the age of a hundred. Even if they can enter the Dao Palace realm, it will depend on their nomological insight. "
The person who introduced the rules was none other than Senior Brother Ji.
There were three tests to enter the Myriad God Ridge. The first was to assess one's root of wisdom. The second was to assess one's cultivation level and bone age. The third was to assess one's laws.
In fact, every time so many people gathered, a considerable portion of them were simply not qualified for the second category. They were all counting on the first category.
No one knew what the Root of Wisdom was. Only the Myriad God Ridge would pay attention to it. It was their only chance to soar.
However, after these few years of testing, the number of people who possessed the Wisdom Root was simply very few.
"Alright, without further ado, let's begin!"
As Senior Brother Ji spoke, he waved his hand and the light screen of the stone arch flickered again. Then, a grey cloud flew out of the stone arch.
As soon as this cloud of fog appeared, the atmosphere in the square changed. The originally lively square turned gray. A strong oppressive feeling made people unable to speak. Some of the weaker cultivators could not help but kneel down in front of the cloud of fog.
The gray cloud slowly rose into the sky and fused with the clouds. Finally, it formed a gigantic gray vortex. The vortex spun slowly and in the middle of the pitch-black vortex, there were bolts of lightning. It was as though it was connected to another world.
"This is …"
Yi Yun narrowed his eyes. Through the black vortex, he saw a bronze cauldron. It had three legs and two handles. The cauldron's walls were thick and ancient. Engraved on it was a black divine dragon. As wisps of black gas spewed out of the cauldron, the divine dragon was immersed in the black gas as though it was coming alive.
"This is the Ascending Dragon Cauldron. It is also the cornerstone artifact of the Myriad God Ridge," said Senior Brother Ji proudly.
Although the cauldron was said to be the cornerstone artifact of the Myriad God Ridge, even the Patriarch could not refine and control it.
All they could do was invite the cauldron out. As for whether or not anyone would try to snatch it, that was not a concern. The cauldron had its own consciousness. No one could snatch it away.
"Now, you can produce a drop of your blood and throw it into the cauldron. If you can cause the Ascending Dragon Cauldron to emit a clear cry, you will pass! You will become an inner sect disciple of our sect! "
"If you can trigger a sliver of the Ascending Dragon Cauldron's divine light, you will become a core disciple of our Myriad God Ridge!"
"If you can stir the Ascending Dragon Cauldron, you might even become a personal disciple as long as your talent isn't too bad!"
Senior Brother Ji did not continue after saying that. In fact, stirring the Ascending Dragon Cauldron could lead to treasures. That was what the Patriarch thought highly of.
However, this was a secret of the Myriad God Ridge. Only personal disciples knew of it. He would not tell these people.
"Begin now! Just produce a drop of blood! "
"A drop of blood?"
Yi Yun frowned slightly. It was fine if it was just perception, but if he had to produce his blood, the drop of blood would contain his lifeblood mark. Yi Yun had a nagging feeling that it was not safe to produce it.
And at that moment, an examinee beside Yi Yun had already bitten his finger and flicked the blood out of his fingertip.
They obviously did not consider as much as Yi Yun. The Myriad God Ridge's entrance examination had been held numerous times. Every time, nearly ten thousand people would produce their blood and smear it across the Ascending Dragon Cauldron.
They watched helplessly as the blood flew into the vortex. However, most of the blood was instantly dissipated by the violent Yuan Qi flow the moment it entered the vortex. It turned into a bloody mist that vanished.
About ten percent of the blood landed on the Ascending Dragon Cauldron.
However, the blood disappeared the moment it touched the cauldron, as though it had been absorbed by the cauldron.
The Ascending Dragon Cauldron did not change. It continued floating in the gigantic vortex as its massive and potent aura suppressed the world.
Many people were unwilling to admit defeat. They continued looking at the spot where their blood had flown, hoping for a miracle to happen. However, the Ascending Dragon Cauldron remained as firm as a mountain. They had ultimately failed.
"It's too difficult."
Someone shook his head. What was the so-called 'wisdom root?' What was needed to stir the Ascending Dragon Cauldron?
Yi Yun watched all of this silently. After the first group of people failed, another group of people bit their fingers and flicked out a drop of blood.
The cauldron was odd! As Yi Yun pondered over the matter, he suddenly saw Old Snake look up from a corner of the square. He was looking at the floating Ascending Dragon Cauldron in midair. A glint flashed in his tiny eyes.
Oh? This old man …
He was also interested in the Ascending Dragon Cauldron?
Yi Yun's impression of Old Snake was that of a sly old fox. It was rare to see him have such a serious look in his eyes.
Could it be …
Yi Yun suddenly realized a possibility. Perhaps the old man was spending his days in the Myriad God Ridge because of the Ascending Dragon Cauldron?
