Darkness filled the entire ocean.
For countless years, silence had always reigned over this boundless ocean.
Both time and space itself seemed to have disappeared.
Within the darkness, everything was chaotic and indistinguishable.
All of a sudden, 58,680 sprites of light lit up.
Each of these sprites of light was a cultivator.
A faint glow came from their bodies, illuminating their surroundings.
Although the glow was faint, it was enough to illuminate their faces in this dark ocean.
Everyone closed their eyes, as if they were being hypnotized, falling into some sort of deep slumber.
Almost as soon as the 58,680 light spots appeared, the deep sea of darkness immediately reacted.
— — -as if someone had lightly blown on it.
The sprites of light were like candles, unable to endure this kind of power and quickly went out.
Fifty-eight thousand six hundred and eighty.
Forty-one thousand nine hundred and sixty-one.
30,000.
10,050.
Seven thousand.
40.
— — -three.
Very soon, almost all the specks of light in the dark ocean were extinguished, and only three specks of light remained.
A female voice sounded a bit surprised as it resounded from within the ocean.
『Ah? The cultivation world has been weak for a long time, to have three newcomers with enough strength to pass the test, how impressive …』
『… Time to check their identities, it's best if they aren't sneaky people …』
Following this voice, one of the three sprites of light became brighter, completely illuminating the cultivator's figure.
— — -it was a young man wearing a red armor.
『Hm, a decent martial arts seedling with a clean identity, seems like he's been through many years of fighting, he might be able to survive in the Strife Zones』
The female voice lightly resounded.
The young man instantly disappeared from the dark ocean.
Following that, the second sprite of light became brighter, exuding abundant spirit energy from the cultivator's body.
— — -it was a female cultivator wearing snow-white armor and wielding a snow-white Blade in her hand.
『A female cultivator who uses a Blade? Clean identity, and a rare one』
『To be so accomplished at such a young age, how interesting, perhaps you can try it out in the Strife Zones』
The female voice continued to comment with a hint of a smile.
Ning Yuechan's figure also disappeared from the ocean.
The last ray of light became brighter, illuminating the cultivator's body.
— — he wore black armor, wielded a sword in each hand, and wore a golden mask.
He was a sword cultivator.
He stood motionlessly in the sea of darkness. With his armor, he looked like a god or a demon.
A light radiated from his body, dispelling the darkness around him.
For a moment, the female voice did not ring out.
But the ocean began to change like never before.
The undercurrents in the ocean surged furiously, surrounding the sword cultivator and forming an expanding whirlpool.
All the darkness quickly disappeared.
After ruling this world for an unknown number of years, the darkness had completely faded away at this moment.
The entire sea turned into an intoxicating deep blue.
In the deep blue seawater, the sword cultivator was still suspended in the center of the whirlpool.
He floated quietly in the air.
Suddenly, a jade-like hand reached out from the blue sea.
This hand pressed on the sword xiu's mask and forcefully pulled it off.
The sword xiu's face suddenly appeared in the water. Under the illumination of the pure blue light, the sharpness of the face could be seen.
He paused for a while.
The hand put the mask back into the water and let it float.
The jade-like hand reached out again and lightly touched the sword cultivator's face.
The female voice rang out again.
"To avoid being exposed, my real body cannot stay here for too long"
"I will give you an identity to disguise yourself as a form of protection."
"You need to quickly become stronger …"
"Gu Qing Shan!"
The mask was put back on.
Oom — —
The whirlpool turned into a giant tidal wave that swallowed Gu Qing Shan, enveloped him, and disappeared without a trace.
The entire sea of blue light quickly returned to its deep black color.
Black Sea once again calmed down.
Silence enveloped this place.
From the looks of it, nothing had happened.
The 900 million World Layers alliance.
The Profession Affairs division.
Chen Wang's group stood there and waited for a bit longer.
"It seems to be a bit slower this time" Chen Wang commented.
The staff member smiled: "This means that a cultivation-type Professionist has drawn lady Black Sea's attention"
"What kind of situation could draw lady Black Sea's attention?" Xie Dao Ling asked.
She couldn't help but be concerned, after all, the three people she brought this time were all decided by her.
Gu Qing Shan was also among them.
"Relax, normally, this is a good thing" Yun Ji said.
The staff member also smiled: "That's right, only outstanding newcomers would draw lady Black Sea's attention, she might want to observe them for a bit longer"
"Aside from that, lady Black Sea will also check the newcomer's identity, if she finds anything suspicious, she'll inform us right away"
Three blue lights flashed.
In a flash, Gu Qing Shan, Ning Yuechan, and Leng Tian Xing appeared in front of everyone.
Each of them held a tag in their hands.
Leng Tian Xing's tag was' 5 ', Ning Yuechan's was' 2 ', and Gu Qing Shan's was' 1 '.
The only difference was that Leng Tian Xing's tag was grey, while Gu Qing Shan's and Ning Yuechan's were glowing.
Chen Wang glanced at them and smiled.
"Ahahaha, Qing Shan really is number 1, I knew it, how could someone that Bali likes be bad?" he loudly declared.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised, looking at the tag in her hand.
— — I didn't do anything and I already passed the selection?
What happened just now?
There seemed to be a woman standing in front of him and saying something.
But I can't remember what she said at all, even the impression is very vague.
What exactly did she say to me?
Gu Qing Shan tried her best to recall.
Xie Dao Ling looked at Leng Tian Xing and said: "Don't be discouraged, you're ranked 5th out of everyone here, try harder when you get back, you'll definitely succeed next time"
Leng Tian Xing smiled bitterly, feeling both disappointed and happy.
Disappointed because I didn't get chosen.
Happy because I didn't think I'd be able to rank 5th out of so many newcomers from the cultivation world.
Ning Yuechan looked at the '2' in her hand, then at the '1' in Gu Qing Shan's hand. She couldn't help but want to reach for the Blade on her hip, but quickly remembered where they were and gave up.
Come to think of it, I haven't even fought against him yet …
Ning Yuechan silently thought.
At this point, a piece of paper lightly fell onto the Human Profession Encyclopedia.
The staff member picked up the paper and respectfully bowed: "Thank you, lady Black Sea"
Chen Wang crossed his arms: "No need to thank her, she left right after the selection and hasn't returned"
The staff member awkwardly smiled, unfolded the paper, and read: "This year's cultivator Profession Newcomer Selection has been completed"
"A total of 3 newcomers have reached the standard to enter the Strife Zones, they are:"
"Gu Shangyun, 3rd, Nine Mysteries world, Martial cultivator, newcomer, clean background"
"Ning Yuechan, 2nd, Shen Wu world, Blade user, newcomer, clean background"
"Gu Qing Shan, 1st, Shen Wu world, Sword cultivator, Returnee"
Everyone silently listened, their eyes all focused on Gu Qing Shan.
"So he's a Returnee, Bali and Meow sure have good eyes, to be able to pick someone like that" the mechanical arm was surprised.
Yun Ji also smiled: "And here I was thinking if I could find a chance to bully this immature brat, who knew he'd be a Returnee"
Gu Qing Shan also heard the announcement.
