Everyone's eyes were fixed on the Talent Hong Bell and Su Mo, who was pressing his palm on it.
In everyone's opinion, it was impossible for Su Mo to pass the test. This was because only a few hundred people among the millions of disciples in the Taisheng branch could pass the test.
Under normal circumstances, Hong Zhong would not use such a high difficulty talent when recruiting disciples.
Only when they discovered a disciple with an especially strong talent would they use this kind of high difficulty talent Hong Zhong test.
Therefore, everyone thought that Su Mo could not pass the test.
Dong!
At this moment, a deep and vigorous bell suddenly rang out from the Talent Hong Bell and spread throughout the whole place.
The bell was melodious and lingered in the ears of everyone.
At this moment, everyone's eyes widened and looked at Su Mo in surprise. The Talent Hong Bell had actually rung!
"Wu Shan's talent is so strong?"
Elder Du Yue and Xiao Yushu were both stunned at first, then their faces darkened. Xiao Yushu's face was especially ugly.
He had wanted Su Mo to fail the test and leave Taisheng City. He had not expected Su Mo to pass the test, and not only did he pass the test, but he had also passed the difficult test.
"His talent is so strong!" Xiao Yushu was a little annoyed. To be able to pass the Talent Hong Bell test, Wu Shan's talent was extremely high in the Taisheng Branch. Although it could not be compared to his talent, it was not simple either.
"Gentlemen, have I passed the entrance test this time?" Su Mo turned his head and looked at Xiao Yushu and Elder Du Yue with a smile.
Even if the two of them had secretly played tricks on him, even if they did not want him to pass the test, the facts spoke louder than words.
Xiao Yushu was silent. Seeing Su Mo's proud face, he was a little angry.
"Congratulations, you have passed the talent test and can join the Taisheng Branch!" Elder Du Yue said in a deep voice. He could not distort the truth in front of everyone, so he had no choice but to accept the result.
"Thank you, Elder!" Su Mo cupped his fists at Elder Du Yue. He could finally stay.
"Elder Du Yue, I'll leave the rest to you!" Xiao Yushu said to Elder Du Yue and glanced at Su Mo. Then, he waved his sleeves and strode away.
Xiao Yushu had wanted to chase Wu Shan away, but he had not expected him to pass the test. This made Xiao Yushu very unhappy.
However, there was nothing he could do. After all, even though his status was high, he did not dare to break the rules. His master, the Golden Crow, had always been a righteous man. If the Golden Crow knew that he purposely chased Wu Shan away, the Golden Crow would blame him.
However, Xiao Yushu wasn't worried. He was just an ant, and he could easily chase him away in the future.
Seeing Xiao Yushu leave in a bad mood, Elder Du Yue sighed helplessly in his heart. To think that he could not even help with such a small matter.
"Wu Shan, from today onwards, you are a disciple of my Tai Sheng branch!"
Elder Du Yue said in a deep voice. Then, he pointed his finger at Su Mo's forehead. Su Mo was shocked, but he could not stop it.
Then, a small seal was imprinted on Su Mo's forehead and disappeared into his flesh.
Seeing this, Su Mo heaved a sigh of relief. This was not a method to control people. It was just a mark, and it did not affect him at all.
Of course, with this seal, he could sense that everyone around him had the same seal. Even if he did not know anyone else, he would know that they were of the same sect.
Of course, this feeling was very faint, and he would not be able to sense it from a distance.
"There are many empty houses near the edge of the city wall in the west of the city. You can choose your own residence there!" Elder Du Yue instructed.
"Yes!" Su Mo nodded.
"These are the rules of the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance and the rules of the Tai Sheng branch. Go back and check them yourself." Elder Du Yue flipped his palm and handed him a white jade slip.
"Thank you, Elder!" Su Mo took the jade slip and thanked him.
"Go!" Elder Du Yue waved his hand.
Su Mo nodded, then turned around and walked out of Tai Sheng Examination Hall.
Looking at Su Mo's departing figure, the expressions of the people in the square were slightly complicated. This Wu Shan was very talented, and his cultivation was not weak either. However, it was obvious that he had been treated unfairly.
Not to mention the entrance test, Elder Du Yue should have given him a reward after entering the sect. This had always been the case.
However, Elder Du Yue had only given Wu Shan a jade slip, and did not give him any reward. This was clearly giving him the cold shoulder.
…
After Su Mo left Tai Sheng Examination Hall, he went to the west of the city alone. This was a remote area in Tai Sheng City. There were not many people living here, and most of them were disciples with low cultivations.
Su Mo was happy that this was the case. This way, it would be more convenient for him.
Not long after, Su Mo came to the edge of the west of the city, near the city wall. There were indeed many buildings here, including courtyards, pavilions, and miniature palaces.
These buildings looked a little dilapidated. As long as there was no sign or board on the door, it meant that no one lived in it.
Su Mo walked into a courtyard. The courtyard was not big, and it had a radius of 60 meters.
The courtyard was very simple. There was a long stone table and four stone stools in the courtyard. There were only three empty rooms.
It was obvious that this place had been uninhabited for a long time. The courtyard and the rooms were already covered in a thick layer of dust.
Su Mo cleaned up the courtyard. This was extremely easy for him. He waved his sleeves a few times, and all the dust disappeared.
Then, he hung a wooden board on the door of the courtyard. The words "Wu Mansion" were carved on it, indicating that this courtyard would belong to him from now on.
After doing all this, Su Mo carefully examined the courtyard and found a formation. The formation base of this formation was in a room, and it could be activated as long as a Dawn Stone was placed in it.
However, Su Mo did not have any Dawn Stones on him, so he did not activate the formation.
Then, he sat cross-legged in the room and began to cultivate.
For Su Mo, the most important thing now was to increase his cultivation because he had to return to the Deserted World.
The matter of Di Yihun was not urgent. When he was strong enough in the future, he would naturally be able to deal with him.
As for Tuoba Qing Yun and Zi Xiao, they were urgent matters for him to solve. He did not have much time.
First was Tuoba Qing Yun. He and Di Yihun had left the Deserted World, and Tuoba Qing Yun would no longer have any enemies. Now that more than a hundred years had passed, Tuoba Qing Yun should have become a high-level Deity King.
In a few more years, Tuoba Qing Yun might break through to the Supreme Realm and become an Ultimate Expert.
His family and friends were all in the Deserted World. Once Tuoba Qing Yun became an Ultimate Expert, he would be in great danger.
This was because no one could guarantee that after Tuoba Qing Yun became invincible, he would not capture all of Su Mo's family and friends to prevent Su Mo from returning to the Deserted World.
Next was Zi Xiao. Su Mo had not seen Zi Xiao for a long time, and he did not know where he was hiding in the Deserted World. This person was related to Qian Xunyue's resurrection, and he would not be able to delay it for long.
Unless, Su Mo could find another person in the Cloud Billow World who had a Primordial Spirit of Life and Death, and was proficient in the Rules of Life and Death.
Su Mo began to devour the Source Qi. The Source Qi in Taisheng City was much denser than in the outside world. Even if he devoured it slowly, the effect was good.
Time passed quickly. Soon, more than half a year had passed. Su Mo's cultivation progressed very quickly, and he would soon reach the Upper Level 8.
