Immortal Peak Assessment, Pill Sect Arrives
Then, a dazzling light shone from the seven peaks of the Azure Cloud Sect.
Then the seven peak masters descended from the mountain peaks, each accompanied by one or two elders of their respective peak.
Within the Azure Cloud Sect, below the eight floating peaks, lies a vast expanse of land.
The elders of the Refining Hall had already set up Emperor-Rank Array in advance. Numerous array platforms stood tall, filled with Spiritual Qi and Dao Rhythm, making it feel like a dreamlike return to the time when Azure Cloud Mountain Opening was opened.
At this time, both the Inner Sect Elder and Outer Sect Elder had arranged for their respective disciples who were interested in entering the Immortal Peak to come in an orderly manner.
A moment later, tens of thousands of Outer Sect Disciples, had gathered here.
They all yearned for the Eight Immortal Peaks, and could only fantasize about entering there to cultivate.
If we can seize the opportunity today and pass the assessment, we can enter the Immortal Peak for cultivation.
"Those must be the peak master and elders of Immortal Peak. They have such a powerful aura."
"Isn't that obvious? The Immortal Peak Master is a giant in the entire Huangwu."
"I wonder if I can pass the test and enter the Immortal Peak this time. Never mind, why think so much! If I don't pass this time, I'll just keep cultivating like crazy and wait for the next peak opening."
Since the elders had not yet announced the start of the assessment, the disciples began to chat amongst themselves.
"Sister, which immortal peak are you planning to enter?"
"Tell me about it. I plan to enter Sword Peak to cultivate. My Ancient Sword Sacred Body has reached a minor success after this period of cultivation."
"I feel that Sword Peak is the most suitable for me. I wish I could become a disciple of the Peak Master."
At the front of the disciples, Gu Jianfan, dressed in inner sect attire, whispered to his sister beside him, "..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Linglong blinked and said, "Azure Phoenix Peak, I admire Peak Master Ming Yue the most. If I can enter Azure Phoenix Peak, I will have the opportunity to become a disciple of Senior Ming Yue."
After so many days of training in the Time-Space Tower, she had almost mastered the Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart, and her cultivation level had increased significantly compared to before.
For the past few months, the two siblings have felt like they're in a dream; the sect's development and their own progress have been incredibly rapid.
When he returned to the Southern Domain and came back to his Lineage, everyone was stunned.
"Yao Yao, which immortal peak are you planning to enter?" Gu Linglong turned to Su Yaoyao and asked.
"Ah, I don't know either. Linglong you're going to Azure Phoenix Peak, then I'll go to Azure Phoenix Peak too."
"I wonder when the main peak, Azure Cloud Peak, will open. It's not open this time," Su Yaoyao muttered to herself after replying.
Gu Linglong happened to overhear her words, "Azure Cloud Peak? That's the peak where the sect leader resides."
"This elder hereby declares that the opening ceremony of the Azure Cloud Sect Immortal Peak Establishment has officially begun."
Just as the disciples were still discussing, the voice of the elder from the Immortal Peak came from the front, and the noisy scene immediately fell silent.
"The first hurdle for recruiting Immortal Peak is the Nine Cauldrons Talent Test."
"A prodigy who can ring the bell five times can enter the Immortal Peak."
The elder's loud voice echoed throughout the hall.
Upon hearing this, many disciples showed expressions of dejection.
They were among the first disciples to join Azure Cloud Mountain Opening. They had already passed the Nine Tripods test and knew that their talent was insufficient.
Five chimes! That's the bearing of a prodigy!
One more sound and it would be an extraordinary sight.
While ability can lead to a latecomer's success, talent becomes a limiting factor for them.
However, most disciples did not feel it very deeply.
Since the vast majority of disciples entered the sect a second time after the sect's opening ceremony, although they had heard some senior brothers talk about the existence of the Nine Tripods, they had not experienced it firsthand and therefore did not have a deep understanding of it.
To this, the disciples who had undergone the test could only say one thing, "You're still too young!"
"Five chimes will grant direct entry to the Immortal Peak. Of course, if you fail the first test, you can proceed to the second."
"Those who excel in the strength assessment will be granted entry to the Immortal Peak for cultivation."
The elder slowly explained that these were the assessment rules established after discussions between the elders and peak masters of their Seven Immortal Peaks.
The sect leader has given instructions that Immortal Peak focuses on an elite route, so it recruits disciples with a talent level of five or higher.
Since all Azure Cloud Sect disciples have already undergone a major assessment when they opened their peaks, now it's time to emphasize talent.
Of course, talent determines a person's upper limit, perseverance determines a person's lower limit, and everything still comes down to ability, so a second test was arranged.
After the elder announced the rules, many dejected disciples' eyes lit up. The second test would be a test of strength, and they still had a chance!
However, the chances are not very high, with only a thousand qualifications available, while there are tens of thousands of fellow disciples in this sect.
Furthermore, everyone here cultivates immortal techniques, so it's no easy feat to fight your way out from tens of thousands of talented individuals.
At the very front, there were seven pedestals.
The seven peak masters sat in their seats, looking at the many disciples in the distance, with the elders standing behind them.
The seven peak masters are: Lin Wuji, the Azure Sword Peak Master Azure Phoenix Peak Master Bright Moon; Zhao Wushuang, the master of the Azure God Peak; Ye Feng Mo Chen, the master of the Azure Leaf Peak God Peak; Tian Lan, the master of the Azure Leaf Peak; Mo Chen, the master of the Green Mountain Peak; Tian Lan, the master of the Azure Sky Peak; Qing Hua, the master of the Azure Immortal Peak.
"The day has finally come for the Immortal Peak Establishment. My Sword Peak will finally have a disciple."
"Peak Master Lin, you're lucky. Doesn't Lin Bai, a personal disciple, often come to your peak to learn swordsmanship?"
"My Green Mountain Peak is in a terrible state; I haven't seen a single disciple in ages."
"Haha, we're all pretty much the same. We'll be able to recruit disciples today."
Lin Wuji smiled, then, as if remembering something, turned to the elder behind him and said, "Elder Yang, later see if there are any disciples you like, you can take them as your personal disciples."
"Yes, Peak Master."
Behind him, Sword Madman Yang Feng respectfully cupped his hands in greeting.
Come to think of it, I've been cultivating for so long and still don't have a single disciple. It's about time I took one in.
There are many talented swordsmen in the sect, and each of them has considerable talent, great perseverance, and strong strength. Such disciples are hard to find in the outside world.
Not long after.
The Xianfeng assessment has officially begun.
"Yang Li, Bell Rings Six Times, pass."
"Lin Yun, the bell tolls seven and a half times, passed."
"The Yun Mengluo, the bell tolls seven and a half times, passed."
"Ji Ni Tai Mei, two and a half bell rings, failed. Go to the side and wait to participate in the second test."
Thump, thump, thump!
The sacred sound of the Nine Cauldrons Great Dao Bell resounded continuously throughout the Azure Cloud Sect.
They tested dozens of disciples in succession right away, and the pass rate was extremely high.
"The bell tolls seven and a half times!"
"Surpassing Peerless Prodigy, one in a billion!"
"These senior brothers are all incredibly talented!"
Most of the disciples were shocked.
"That's right. These are basically the top talents on the inner sect rankings. It's normal for them to have good talent. But for those of us with less talent, we'll have to rely on our strength."
At the same time.
Azure Cloud Immortal City, above the void.
A massive spaceship approached, its surface adorned with the symbols of the Pill Sect and alchemists, making it easily recognizable to cultivators across the Five Regions.
After all, elixirs are indispensable for cultivation, so everyone has naturally seen the signs of alchemists.
"The Azure Cloud Immortal City is just ahead. We can't get any closer. Land quickly."
