The Ten-Year Deadline Arrives! A Sea of People Beneath Kunlun Mountain!
Ten years.
For the top beings of the Primordial World, this might just be a brief moment of closing their eyes, a routine breathing exercise.
But for the entire Primordial World, this was an incredibly long decade.
Ever since the "admission brochure" forged from the Chaos Star Core Iron by the Tongtian Jiaozhu was hung in the heavens, the entire Primordial World has been in complete uproar.
Countless beings, whether ancient immortals cultivating in seclusion in the deep mountains, great demons enduring hardship in their caves, or even newly transformed spirits, all seemed to have gone mad, surging towards the same direction.
Kunlun Mountain!
That's the true lineage of Pangu's True Lineage temple of the Three Pure Ones!
It is universally recognized as the number one sacred mountain in the Primordial World!
Now, this supreme sacred mountain is opening its Mountain Gate wide to recruit disciples!
The conditions were even considered humble—food and lodging included!
Not to mention the ultimate prize, which has been rumored to be incredibly amazing—"the clay sculpted by the little apprentice himself!"
No one knows what that "mud" actually is.
But that doesn't stop them from using their limited imagination to speculate.
What could be considered an ordinary object as the ultimate reward by the Three Pure Ones?
Is it the legendary Nine Heavens Breathing Soil?
Is it the long-extinct Chaos Divine Soil?
Or was it the Origin Dao Soil used by the Pangu Father God to establish the order of Earth, Water, Fire, Wind when World Creation?!
The more I thought about it, the hotter my heart became.
The more he thought about it, the more his Dao Heart trembled!
Thus began a Primordial World, primordial migration that swept across the land.
Countless creatures trekked through mountains and rivers, crossed ancient jungles shrouded in malevolent energy, and forded the Weak Water River, which could dissolve even the Divine Soul.
All they wanted was to reach the Kunlun Mountain before the ten-year deadline arrived.
They are vying for that one opportunity, which might allow them to ascend to the heavens in one leap!
Meanwhile, on Kunlun Mountain.
Those who started it all took the concept of "competition for favor" to a whole new level during those ten years.
What they were going to do was not an Admission Ceremony.
Instead, it was a grand gathering to showcase their "child-rearing achievements" and "strength in vying for favor" to the entire Primordial World, especially to that Old Fellow in the Zixiao Palace!
The Tongtian Jiaozhu was the most exaggerated.
He completely overturned the traditional layout of the Biyou Palace, transforming it into a postmodern punk-style "Sword Dao Theme Park" with soaring sword energy.
The gate to the amusement park was something he "found" with his top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
A giant sword stretched across the sky, its blade emitting terrifying sword light that tore through the void.
Just standing in front of the door made beings below the Golden Immortal level feel a stinging pain in their primordial spirit, as if they were about to be slowly sliced to death at any moment.
The "Sword Qi Rollercoaster" he prepared for the first level has been upgraded to version 2.0.
The track Jieyin the Ten-Thousand-Year Fire Dragon Qi from the depths of the East Sea Earth Vein. As the roller coaster speeds along, not only do countless sword energies roar and cut through the landscape, but also dragon flames that can burn mountains and boil seas surge forth!
To quote the Tongtian Jiaozhu himself. "A coward who's afraid of even this little situation, why should he play with my disciple?"
Yuanshi Tianzun took his elegance and sophistication to the extreme.
Unlike Tongtian, who undertook massive demolition and construction, he used the supreme Great Dao of Formations to transform the entire Yuxu Palace into a dreamlike "wisdom labyrinth."
From the outside, Yuxu Palace still appears solemn and dignified.
But once you step inside, you will instantly fall into a virtual world constructed from billions of Array Runes.
Here is a nine-linked Daoist puzzle that needs to be solved.
There is Zhou Tian Star Chess Game that requires mental and spiritual perception.
Even more so, Heart Demon Illusion Realm directly reflect the deepest desires of the heart.
He intends to use this wise and insightful method to select truly talented individuals with profound understanding of the Dao Heart and extraordinary comprehension.
He firmly believed that only such a "highly intelligent" playmate was worthy of his precious apprentice.
The eldest brother, Taiqing Laozi, continues to follow his approach of "logistical support" and "sugar-coated bullets."
He didn't build any fancy or elaborate structures.
He quietly transformed his Eight Sceneries Palace into a massive "warehouse of elixirs and snacks".
The freshly baked "Super Divine Ability Candy Bean 5.0 Enhanced Edition" have been piled up into a colorful, radiant mountain of sugar.
What kind of "Flight Candy" can you eat to grow wings of light?
What kind of "True Word Candy" can make one utter profound truths after eating it?
What kind of "Rhythm Candy" makes people want to tap dance after eating it?
The array of goods was dazzling, and the fragrance even seemed to permeate the Thirty-three Heavens, making the immortals and gods who smelled it salivate.
He believed that no competition for favor couldn't be resolved with a piece of candy.
If so, then two.
The Empress Nuwa expanded her "Garden of Love" tenfold.
In the garden, exotic flowers and rare plants, nurtured by the Qi of Creation, competed for beauty, while countless adorable and lively little animals, sculpted by her own hands, chased and frolicked among them.
There are little turtles with butterfly wings that fly slowly.
There are little mushrooms that can sing the Daoist Melody in different tones.
There are also little kittens with Seven-Colored Glaze tails that waddle as they walk.
The entire garden is a dreamlike fairytale kingdom brimming with life.
She wanted to use the gentlest and most loving way to tell Lin Shen, and everyone else, who the real "baby-care expert" is.
As for Fuxi, this newly crowned "Good Uncle" has also quickly found his niche.
He transformed his Companion Spiritual Treasure River Diagram and Luo Script, into a Vast Water Mirror covering the entire southern foothills of the Kunlun Mountain.
Above the water mirror, the Milky Way flows and Hexagrams emerge in profusion.
He named it "Destiny Live Broadcast Room".
At that time, the every move of all the creatures participating in the test will be "live-streamed" on this water mirror.
He will serve as the sole "official commentator," using his unparalleled deductive skills to "explain" the personality, potential, and most importantly—the "Fun Index" of each contestant to Little Lin Shen.
He wants to use this irreplaceable "professionalism" to become the most reliable Chief Strategist in his nephew's heart!
And just like that, ten years passed in Light and Time blink of an eye.
As the dawn broke on the last day of the tenth year, it pierced the Sea of Clouds of clouds in the east.
At the foot of the Kunlun Mountain, the area was already teeming with people, a gathering of all spirits.
Looking out, the throngs of figures stretched endlessly to the horizon, merging seamlessly with the sky and earth.
There are Giant Beast Form-Changers, standing hundreds of feet tall with muscles as bulging as mountains, exuding an ancient and ferocious aura.
She is an exquisitely Demon Fox with a graceful figure, captivating eyes, and nine snow-white fox tails swaying gently behind her.
There is a fire spirit whose entire body is composed of divine Fire Sprite, and wherever it stands, the earth turns into crystal.
There are also Water Deity bodies are surrounded by Innate Gui Water, and whose feet shed lotus blossoms with every step.
They came in various forms and possessed powerful auras; the weakest among them were all Heavenly Immortal, while Golden Immortals and Primordial Unity Golden Immortal were commonplace.
Even more so, there were several obscure and ancient auras lurking among the crowd like an abyss, which even the Three Pure Ones sensed with a sense of solemnity when they swept over them.
All living beings were looking up at that moment.
With a gaze that was a mixture of awe, longing, greed, and tension, they stared at the Primordial World's Foremost Divine Mountain, shrouded in clouds and radiating countless rays of divine light.
They knew the moment that would decide their fate had arrived.
"Thump--"
A deep, resonant bell tolled, echoing down from the Kunlun Mountain Peak.
That was not the sound of any magical treasure.
Rather, it is the resonance between the Earth Vein Qi of Kunlun Mountain and the great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
The sound of the bells echoed throughout the land, instantly calming all the noise, restlessness, and unease.
All the minds and spirits were instantly purified.
Then, under the watchful eyes of millions.
The Guardian Array that enveloped the Kunlun Mountain, jointly set up by the Three Pure Ones, slowly dispersed to both sides like a giant curtain being drawn back.
A wide staircase paved with White Marble, stretching as far as the eye could see, leading straight to the summit of Sea of Clouds Mountain, appeared before everyone.
On both sides of the steps, clouds and mist swirl, cranes cry in unison, and Spirit Apes offer fruit.
The breath of all living beings ceased at that moment.
It's here!
It's finally starting!
They saw a figure descend step by step from the clouds at the mountaintop.
The figure looked somewhat simple and honest, wearing an ordinary Green Daoist Robe, and in his hand... he was carrying a broom?
The visitor was not any of the Three Pure Ones they had imagined.
Instead, it was Daoist Duobao, who had been Gatekeeper Disciple on Kunlun Mountain for a thousand years and had only recently had his fortunes turn around, being exceptionally promoted to "Chief Disciple".
At this moment, Duobao's face was filled with tension.
But more than anything, it was an unprecedented sense of pride and self-esteem that almost overflowed!
He stood at the top of the steps, looking down at the endless, black ocean of Primordial World creatures below.
His chest heaved violently, and his Adam's apple bobbed uncontrollably.
He mustered all his strength and roared out the opening line that he had been rehearsing in his mind for ten years, a line personally written by his master, the Tongtian Jiaozhu.
"Ahem! All you... little minions! Listen up, senior brother!"
"Kunlun Mountain Immortal Academy, school starts today!"
