Yi Yun walked in front of the door and looked up. On the door, there were all sorts of runes. At that moment, the runes flew up from the bronze door like a flock of birds as they surged towards Yi Yun.
The runes did not transform into primordial Fey beasts. They were spread around Yi Yun in their most primitive form, as though they were trying to tear Yi Yun apart.
"These are all array runes. When combined together, it looks like a maze, but as long as I can find a flaw in it, I can slowly crack it."
With this thought in mind, Yi Yun gently tapped the array runes with his finger. Ripples began to suffuse as Yi Yun searched for a flaw in the array formation.
With Yi Yun's tap, the flying array runes came to a stop. About five minutes later, the core array rune in the array formation was crushed by Yi Yun, causing the entire array formation to explode.
"Swish!"
The bronze door opened and the path ahead was unobstructed. However, Yi Yun frowned slightly.
The assessment was only Felicitous Rain Lord's recruitment of in-name disciples. From the beginning to the end, Yi Yun did not care about the quota of in-name disciples. If he was only an in-name disciple of a Divine Lord, Yi Yun would rather stay in the Luo clan.
But now, the difficulty of the in-name disciple assessment was so high?
This was only the first hurdle of the first test. He would not have any problems, but many other disciples would probably be eliminated immediately.
As Yi Yun was pondering over this, he arrived at the bronze palace.
The moment he entered the palace, all sorts of chaotic scenes inundated him.
Illusion array!
Yi Yun was very familiar with such scenes.
Illusion arrays were not just simple confusion. They could kill, trap people to death, or crush a warrior's willpower. The power of many illusion arrays was that even if one were to wake up with great difficulty and realize that they were in an illusion array, they would still be unable to extricate themselves from it.
As for Yi Yun, he naturally did not have such a problem. He slashed out a Sword of the Will from his soul sea.
Ka-cha! The world in front of him completely shattered. Before the illusions could even appear, they were shattered.
After cultivating in the Primordial Space for eighteen years, Yi Yun's soul sea had undergone a metamorphosis. His will had evolved into a Sword of the Will, so it was not difficult for him to crack the illusion array.
However, that was only to Yi Yun. In the previous attack, Yi Yun had tested the strength of the illusion array. He knew very well that if it were anyone else, even warriors at the level of Nongyue or Ye Yi, they would probably have to expend quite a bit of effort.
The difficulty of the test was much higher than he had imagined.
With this thought flashing across his mind, Yi Yun walked out of the palace. Behind the palace was an empty void. Immediately following that, the surrounding space squeezed towards Yi Yun, forming a long spatial passageway. And at the end of the passageway, there was another bronze door similar to the one he had seen before!
It was an almost identical scene. Yi Yun suddenly came to a realization.
Demon Defying Bead, Nine Palatial Array!
Just now, he had already walked past one of the palaces. If he was not mistaken, there should be nine such palaces. That was why it was called the Nine Palaces Formation.
To break out of the formation, one had to pass through nine palaces in a row.
Previously, Song Wuchen had said that this Nine Palatial Array was created by him.
Song Wuchen used the array formation he had created to test all the prodigies present!
If the Nine Palatial Array really had nine palaces, then passing through the array in a prescribed order made Yi Yun feel like he was very foolish.
They were all members of the younger generation, and they were all Felicitous Rain Lord's disciples. Song Wuchen had created the array formation, but the other nine thousand people, including himself, had to follow Song Wuchen's instructions and crack the Nine Palatial Array one by one?
Yi Yun did not like to be arranged by others, unless the other party was his senior.
Then, was it possible to crack the Nine Palatial Array in one go, and not go through the palaces one by one?
With this thought in mind, Yi Yun came in front of the second palace's door.
The Dao runes on this palace's door were even more powerful and complicated.
"Oh? This difficulty … "
Yi Yun's eyebrows pricked up. He estimated that the second palace's difficulty was thirty percent higher than the first palace's!
If this trend continued, the third palace's difficulty would increase by another thirty percent. When it accumulated to the ninth palace, the difficulty would increase by several times.
Even if Yi Yun were to crack the ninth palace's array formation, it would not be easy.
Even if he cracked it, he would expend a great deal of energy, time and stamina.
"It might take a day or two to finish traversing the nine palatial arrays. The first round of assessment given by Song Wuchen actually lasted that long. And this is only my situation. If the others were to face the same difficulty as me, the number of people who could pass this round could probably be counted on one hand, much less the amount of time and energy expended."
"Could it be that the difficulty experienced by the other disciples is different from mine? Or could it be that Song Wuchen wants to choose an in-name disciple in a single round of assessment?"
With this thought in mind, Yi Yun frowned.
He did not want to spend a day or two, as well as large amounts of Yuan Qi and energy, on cracking Song Wuchen's array formation.
Song Wuchen was only at the Dao Manifestation realm, so how profound could an array formation he created be?
Yi Yun had seen the Pure Yang Sword Palace's array formation and the God Advent Tower's array formation. He had even seen the long-haired man create a world in the Fey God Stone.
There were so many profound array formations, Dao patterns and laws, but Yi Yun could not figure them all out, so how could he waste time to study Song Wuchen's array formation? Furthermore, once he expended his stamina, even if he became Felicitous Rain Lord's in-name disciple, it would definitely affect Yi Yun's performance when he challenged the personal disciple test.
It was best to crack the array formation once and for all!
With this thought in mind, Yi Yun was no longer in a hurry to enter the second Dao Palace. He began to pace along the second Dao Palace's door.
On careful thought, it was an assessment of about nine thousand people. Even if there were a large number of people who were trying to pass themselves off as genuine, or were a motley crew without much strength, there was still the number of people. Furthermore, there were ruthless people like Chi Zhuiyun and Tianya Haoyue. Song Wuchen was only at the Dao Manifestation realm, so how could he use an array formation to sustain the assessment of about nine thousand people?
Even if Song Wuchen was an array formation master, due to the limitations of his cultivation level, nine thousand people could crack his array at the same time with just a twitch of a finger from each person! Now that it could not be cracked, then it could only be …
The Demon Defying Bead!
Yi Yun knew that the Demon Defying Bead was a treasure bestowed by Felicitous Rain Lord. He had used the God Advent Tower to withstand Daoist You Ming's strike, so it was not surprising that Song Wuchen could use the Demon Defying Bead to test nine thousand people.
"I just need to sever the connection between the Nine Palatial Array and the Demon Defying Bead."
With this thought in mind, Yi Yun closed his eyes and activated his energy vision.
Instantly, the surrounding array runes disappeared. In Yi Yun's vision, there was only the flow of Origins energy. He searched through the chaotic energy, searching for the energy node between the Nine Palatial Array and the Demon Defying Bead …

Today, I arrived at the hotel at midnight. I still have to wake up early tomorrow, but strangely enough, I have finished writing it. There's still a chapter left.)
