Might of the Pseudo-Core, a One-Zhang-Six White Ape, Wanting to Take a Disciple

Those who had a clear conscience were fine; at most, they were shocked and felt that the methods of the True Martial Sect were simply unbelievable, and they were even more in awe. But some people with evil intentions had a gloomy expression. It was as if they were being publicly executed in front of everyone!

In particular, several people who were known for their chivalry had now almost completely torn off their hypocritical masks, but they dared not get angry. The True Martial Sect had already instilled fear in them.

But these two types of people are not the most panicked.

The most horrified were the few spies who were hiding among them.

The deepest secret in my heart was revealed in public like this.

They already know.

This mission failed.

The True Martial Sect's methods were beyond their imagination. No matter how they tried to conceal their origins, they couldn't withstand such a treacherous Formation that directly targeted their core. They had only relaxed their minds by following Luo Wentian's words, and ended up almost revealing the color of their underwear.

In an instant.

The group immediately began to move.

They had already been distanced by the other experts at the Gang Essence Realm. At this moment, the spies from different forces surprisingly worked in unison, each choosing a direction and charging forward without saying a word, showing remarkable decisiveness.

Are you kidding me?

The True Martial Sect has two Celestial Person Realm experts in charge. Not to mention the Heavenly Sword Real Person, even the Real Person Dragon Mountain would be no match for them. If they try to escape together now, none of them will escape and they will all be wiped out.

But if they escape separately, there might be a glimmer of hope.

At this moment, the middle-aged swordsman at the Yuan Pill Realm, the two Jade Liquid Realm, and the two White Mist Realm cultivators—a total of five spies—were all fleeing towards the outside of the Questioning Heart Platform.

The situation spiraled out of control in an instant.

Gang Qi erupted and scattered in all directions, as if someone intended to create chaos to make it easier for them to escape.

Ning Qi and Daoist Longshan watched quietly, neither of them intending to intervene.

They will not intervene unless someone at the Celestial Person Realm makes a move.

The True Martial Sect True Martial Sect not just theirs alone. There are some things that Luo Wentian others need to resolve themselves, especially since Luo Wentian, as the sect leader, has been criticized for his low cultivation level in the martial arts world. This is an opportunity for him to prove himself.

The same applies to the other elders.

This is a test for the rest of the True Martial Sect.

With the two of them around, nothing will go wrong.

Around the Questioning Platform.

Seeing the spies making their escape attempt, Luo Wentian's eyes flashed with anger. They recklessly unleashed their inner Gang Qi, some rushing towards the True Martial Disciples, while others charged towards the children who had come to participate in the assessment, trying to delay Luo Wentian and his group in this way.

But unfortunately...

Luo Wentian and the others were already mentally prepared.

Before these people stepped onto the Questioning Platform, the children had already been protected by a group of highly skilled True Martial disciples.

Xiong Shi, Ye Qinghe, and the others also took action to intercept the Gang Qi.

At this time.

Chaos also broke out among those who failed the assessment at the Gangyuan Realm.

Several spies were also hidden among them, and now they've all spewed out their anger, wanting to leave.

"How dare you cause trouble on the eve of my True Martial Assessment! You will not be allowed to live!"

Luo Wentian's Daoist robe fluttered without wind, and a powerful aura had already emerged. Under normal circumstances, he would naturally not be a match for those in the Jade Liquid Realm or even the Yuan Pill Realm. However, now, with the many trump cards given to him by Ning Qi, if he still could not resolve the current disaster, then he felt that he was almost as good as a piece of trash.

In high spirits.

He instantly activated the Thunder Tiger False Core located in his heart.

In an instant.

A powerful aura erupted, and bolts of lightning intertwined around him. He struck out with his palm, the lightning exploding with unparalleled dominance, accurately hitting the sides of the eliminated spies, instantly sending them flying backward.

The few spies from the White Mist Realm offered almost no resistance.

Everyone was astonished.

"Isn't it said that Sect Master Luo is only at the White Mist Realm? How come he's so powerful?"

"This is probably comparable to the Yuan Pill Realm, isn't it?"

In an instant, the expressions of those eliminated Gang Essence Realm as they looked at Luo Wentian changed; this did not match the rumors.

But then, they suddenly realized.

The True Martial Sect's foundation is stronger than imagined.

How could the leader of a sect only possess the rumored strength? This is the normal state of affairs.

Ye Qinghe and the others were also surprised, not understanding why their senior brother had suddenly become so strong, but guessing that it must be the work of their master.

Luo Wentian felt a surge of joy.

He felt stronger than ever before, and all his worries vanished. However, he knew that this was not due to his own efforts. If it weren't for Lei Hu's fake core, he would at most be stronger than an ordinary White Mist Realm. He was amazed and then glanced silently in the direction of the Mingwu Pavilion. He knew that there were two people there watching them, which was why he had always been so confident!

Luo Wentian and shouted:

"Catch all the spies!"

Having witnessed his previous display of great power, some people who had originally intended to stand idly by immediately changed their minds.

Some people started taking action to help intercept the spies.

Those who performed well on the Questioning Platform, knowing they were already half members of the True Martial Sect, worked even harder. Of course, these people were of good character and integrity, and they wouldn't stand idly by in the face of such a change.

In an instant.

The spies were now all surrounded.

Outnumbered, outgunned.

Even if these spies possessed extraordinary abilities, they were powerless to do anything about it.

All the spies from the White Mist Realm have been captured.

Only three are still on the run.

A middle-aged swordsman at the Yuan Pill Realm, a beautiful woman in a black dress at the Jade Liquid Realm, and a one-eyed man at the Jade Liquid Realm.

The beautiful woman in the black dress and the one-eyed man were both from the Demon Sect, while the one at the Yuan Pill Realm was from the Southern Frontier.

Luo Wentian, enveloped in lightning, had caught up with the Yuan Pill swordsman and was engaged in a fierce battle with him.

The two Jade Liquid Realm experts were stopped by several Jade Liquid Realm masters who had performed well on the Heart-Questioning Platform.

The blade energy and the thunderous palm strikes clashed repeatedly, sending shockwaves flying.

With the support of Lei Hu's fake core, Luo Wentian completely suppressed the Yuan Pill Realm swordsman. The True Martial Sect Master's aura was overwhelming, causing all the disciples to tremble with fear, especially the children who came to participate in the assessment, who looked on with admiration.

They were initially somewhat flustered, but were quickly calmed down by the True Martial disciples.

The situation is now almost under control, and none of them were injured.

The children gained a more genuine understanding of the True Martial Sect's profound foundation and strength, and their hearts yearned to join the True Martial Sect.

As Gou Dan watched the scene unfold before him, he felt as if a door to a new world was opening for him. Looking at Luo Wentian, whose body was crackling with lightning, he felt incredibly powerful.

"If one day I can become as powerful as Sect Leader Luo, I can ensure my sister will never go hungry again," he thought.

Suddenly.

His eyes widened, and he couldn't help but rub them.

I almost thought I was seeing things.

He actually saw a White Ape wearing a Daoist robe. The White Ape did not look tall, and was even a little thin, but the few exposed furs were like silver snow, which was very mysterious. This White Ape appeared silently near the battle sites. Combined with the White Ape's weak appearance, it was as if it had been accidentally caught up in the battle.

He couldn't help but want to shout "Watch out!"

But the next moment, his face went blank.

As the White Ape took its first step, its size suddenly increased dramatically, growing larger with each step until it became a colossal creature in an instant.

The giant ape, standing six zhang tall, was draped in a Daoist robe. It coexisted with both ferocity and peace, and its eyes held a golden light that seemed to be able to see through everything.

Inside the venue.

The one-eyed man shouted sternly:

"You dare interfere in the affairs of my Holy Gate? Do you wish to die?"

He and the beautiful woman in the black dress felt the pressure mounting, and had no choice but to invoke the Demon Sect to intimidate everyone.

Some people couldn't help but change their expressions.

This is indeed very troublesome. If they fail to join the True Martial Sect and are remembered by the Demon Sect, then they will be in dire straits.

But the next moment...

Some people couldn't help but gasp, their eyes filled with shock.

The one-eyed man sensed something.

He turned his head and his pupils suddenly contracted.

A sixteen-foot- White Ape silently attacked, its mountain-like body exuding a terrifying sense of oppression. Especially its golden eyes, which held a cold indifference that seemed to see through everything. His heart pounded, he let out a strange cry, and unleashed his full power of Gang Qi, sensing an unprecedented sense of crisis.

Yuan Tiansheng roared to the sky. He had been cultivating with Ning Qi for six or seven years, but he had never revealed his true form as the Ape King.

Now, with Ning Qi's permission, he finally had his chance.

With his golden eyes sweeping across the one-eyed man, no movement of his could be hidden from his sight. He simply threw a punch, and a terrifying force swept out, silver light swirling on his fur. With unstoppable momentum, he blasted the one-eyed man's Gang Qi into pieces.

then.

He angrily smashed the weapon onto the one-eyed man.

A cracking sound rang out as the one-eyed man was blasted into a large crater, coughing up blood incessantly.

All the spectators were shocked, wondering where such a ferocious White Ape had suddenly appeared and easily suppressed Jade Liquid Realm with a single punch!

Is this also the foundation of the True Martial Sect?

They felt that their eyes had been opened today.

But the disciples of True Martial were also dumbfounded.

Even among the few disciples who were familiar with the White Ape, this was the case. Although the White Ape had shown some strength on weekdays, it was not outstanding. In their impression, the White Ape was usually mischievous and naughty, and occasionally silly. He was a disciple under Ninth Uncle.

But they only find out now.

The White Ape disciple under Ninth Uncle's command is actually this strong!

Ye Qinghe's eyes widened in disbelief. She never imagined that the little monkey she and Ning Qi had brought back a few years ago would suddenly become so powerful, even stronger than herself. Judging from the one-eyed man's miserable state, she probably couldn't withstand a single punch either.

Is this really that silly little monkey who taught me how to brew peach blossom wine?

Zhuang Chen and Li Ling were also stunned.

The two of them and the ape used to hang out together all the time, but suddenly you tell me you can punch someone in the Jade Liquid Realm and kick someone in the Yuan Pill Realm!

After their initial shock, Xiong Shi and the others reacted quickly.

They immediately stepped forward and captured the one-eyed man.

These spies, of course, cannot be killed so easily.

He needed to interrogate them carefully, to squeeze out every last bit of value. Xiong Shi's eyes were cold as he was already thinking about how to interrogate these spies.

at this time.

Seeing her companion in such a miserable state, the beautiful woman in the black dress was even more horrified. She had no desire to continue fighting and only wanted to escape as quickly as possible.

But Yuan Tiansheng is quite fast.

With each step, as if accompanied by wind and thunder, he landed behind the beautiful woman in the black dress in just a few strides. His massive hand reached out, and the woman in the black dress screamed in terror. The oppressive feeling suffocated her, but resistance was futile.

In the blink of an eye, she followed in the footsteps of the one-eyed man, grabbed by the White Ape and her bones snapped.

The White Ape showed no mercy, casually tossing her behind it, sending chills down the spines of the assembled experts at the Gang Essence Realm.

That's too fierce!

The situation changed too quickly.

In a short while, only the Yuan Pill Realm swordsman was left fighting alone, but he was also overwhelmed by Luo Wentian. Bolts of lightning pierced through the void and landed on him, and his whole body began to go numb. However, his sword energy could not break through Luo Wentian's lightning.

There's no way to win this.

And then he witnessed the sudden appearance of that sixteen-foot- White Ape, which made him even more terrified.

With gritted teeth, he made a bold move, his blade shooting out like a flying dragon. He then used the force of a lightning palm strike on his left arm to retreat, a risky move that, if it failed, would severely injure him and lead him to utter ruin.

The swordsman coughed up a mouthful of blood.

It flew backwards at an extremely high speed.

Luo Wentian was initially startled, as he lacked experience in combat between those at the Gang Essence Realm. However, he quickly calmed down, a smile of approval appearing in his eyes.

The White Ape was already waiting in the distance.

His eyes gleamed with golden light, enough to see the trajectory of the power flowing through them, allowing him to easily discern the Yuan Pill Swordsman's thoughts.

This is the time to wait patiently for the opportunity to strike.

The giant ape kicked out with the force of a mountain collapsing, creating a thunderous roar. Even if the middle-aged swordsman was a Yuan Pill Realm expert, he couldn't withstand such immense power and would be sent flying back at an even faster speed.

Luo Wentian struck down with his palm, lightning flashing across the sky, a decisive blow.

Yuan Pill swordsman coughed up blood incessantly and nearly died.

Xiong Shi personally captured him.

In the blink of an eye, the storm had subsided.

Mingwu Pavilion.

Both Ning Qi and Daoist Longshan wore smiles.

The True Martial Sect members handled the situation skillfully, completely controlling the spies, which greatly pleased them.

The Daoist Longshan was somewhat astonished:

"This little monkey Tiansheng so strong without us even realizing it?"

He had only sensed it before, but he didn't know that Yuan Tiansheng's limit had already reached this level. This was practically the third strongest in the True Martial Sect!

Ning Qi laughed:

"Given his Tiansheng powerful bloodline, coupled with his exceptional comprehension and perseverance, and his unwavering Dao heart, it's no surprise he possesses such strength. His bloodline developed rapidly, and he also cultivates martial arts."

The Daoist Longshan was astonished:

"Martial arts?"

Although Yuan Tiansheng hadn't revealed much just now, he still vaguely sensed something peculiar.

Ning Qi nodded and said:

"I combined Human Race martial arts to create the Ape King Stance, Ape King Strength, and Ape King True Qi for him, which enabled him to successfully awaken his bloodline. However, the more I observe recently, the more I realize that the path for Mutant Beast to awaken their bloodline may ultimately lead to the same conclusion as martial arts, and it's not as magical as I previously imagined."

The astonishment in Daoist Longshan's eyes deepened even further.

Creating a martial art for Mutant Beast —such an earth-shattering feat was described so casually by his little disciple.

But this was what Ning Qi was thinking.

Bloodline power now accounts for a significant portion of the White Ape's strength; otherwise, he wouldn't be so powerful based solely on his Inner Essence Realm cultivation. Of course, the various martial arts taught by Ning Qi are also crucial, and the Ape King True Body technique is, to some extent, comparable to the White Ape's bloodline abilities.

However, he also discovered that martial arts have two major effects on Mutant Beast: one is to give ordinary beasts a hope of growth and advancement, and the other is to help Mutant Beast awaken their bloodlines.

The Daoist Longshan could only sigh.

Without anyone noticing, his little apprentice had accomplished so many great things.

He sensed it carefully again and asked:

"Little Nine, have you sensed the Celestial Person making their move?"

Ning Qi shook his head slightly:

"No, if a Celestial Person appears, the True Martial Sword Stele will sense it."

After advancing to the Yuan Pill Realm, he further enhanced the Sword Intent within the True Martial Sword Stele. This sword stele can not only be used for comprehension but also for combat in critical moments.

"It's normal that they don't show up. People from the Southern Frontier are always cautious. The Yuan Pill Realm woman who launched a night raid was an example of this. These spies are probably just an experiment. If they succeed, that's good, as they can gather information about the sect. If they fail, they're just expendable pawns."

Daoist Longshan nodded in agreement.

However, his gaze gradually hardened.

"The fact that multiple forces have planted spies in our True Martial Sect is partly due to our growing influence, but the Southern Frontier Alliance may indeed have become suspicious of us because of what happened before."

"Afterwards, I must remind my disciples to be careful when they go out for training, lest they be targeted in secret."

Ning Qi nodded slightly.

He was thinking about how to deal with it.

Destroying the Demon Sect and the Southern Frontier Alliance is not yet possible; the only thing we can do is to strengthen our disciples as much as possible.

Inside True Martial City.

A private room in a certain inn.

Qin Yun and the Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang were quietly enjoying their tea, while lively discussions could be heard around them, all concerning the upcoming True Martial Assessment.

"The Heavenly Staircase, the Mechanical Man Formation, the Heart-Questioning Platform?" The Southern Frontier Saintess listened to those messages, her eyes flickering.

Specific news has already emerged regarding the first two.

The strangeness of it surprised her; the True Martial Sect had only been established for a few decades, yet it had produced such wondrous items one after another.

"Sage Qin, have you heard of these things before when you were in the True Martial Sect?" she asked curiously.

Qin Yun silently shook his head.

He had only been away from the True Martial Sect for four or five years, but the changes in the True Martial Sect were greater than those in the more than twenty years he had stayed there, which made him feel somewhat complicated.

He didn't know where this change came from.

but.

The words of the Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang clearly made him somewhat uncomfortable, and he simply said coldly:

"Instead of worrying about me, Saintess, you should be concerned about the upcoming Questioning Platform. My intuition tells me that something big is about to happen."

Judging by the timeline, those chess pieces have probably already begun their trials at the Heart-Searching Platform.

The Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang was about to retort.

Suddenly, his expression hardened, and a slight fluctuation of power spread outwards. In the midst of the turmoil, even his control over his power was not perfect.

Qin Yun's eyes flashed, and he calmly asked:

Something happened?

The Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang gave Qin Yun a deep look:

"Sage Qin is truly a prophet. All of my Southern Frontier's pawns have been wiped out, including that Yuan Pill Realm pawn. Thinking about it this way, your Demon Sect is not far behind."

She had just sensed the fluctuations of the Gu worms inside the chess piece.

Silence fell over the private room.

Qin Yun smiled coldly:

"I told you long ago, don't underestimate the True Martial Sect. My master and senior brother are no ordinary people. Since they've decided to open their Mountain Gate wide, they must have been preparing for this long ago."

He breathed a sigh of relief.

He originally planned to leak the information if the Demon Sect Sect's pawns were secretly infiltrated, but that would arouse suspicion, since he was in charge of the matter and he didn't know about the pawns in the Southern Frontier.

This is the best possible outcome.

The Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang gazed in the direction of True Martial Mountain, finally regaining her composure and smiling gently.

"Since they're so difficult, let's take it slow."

However, deep down, she had a slight suspicion about Qin Yun, but she didn't say it aloud.

She thought that perhaps she could set a trap to test the waters later.

One defeat was nothing; it only fueled her interest in the True Martial Sect. In particular, the various wondrous things that appeared during the True Martial Sect's disciple assessment piqued her interest. What was so magical about the Questioning Platform that it could identify a chess piece in such a short time?

Around the platform for inquiring about one's conscience.

One by one, the spies were captured.

Luo Wentian had calmed down the power of the fake core, returning to his previous peaceful state, no longer possessing the domineering power of thunder.

The White Ape then returned to its normal appearance.

He bowed respectfully to Luo Wentian:

"Master Uncle!"

Luo Wentian smiled:

"Tiansheng, you did well."

He was even more amazed by his ninth junior brother's abilities; the little White Ape he rode was so powerful, and it had never been shown before.

Luo Wentian glanced at the spies and then gestured for Xiong Shi to lead them away.

Now all these spies have been captured, and we'll just have to interrogate them slowly.

He turned around and thanked the experts at the Gang Essence Realm who had helped him earlier:

"We are deeply grateful for your assistance. Our True Martial Sect will remember this kindness and will certainly offer you generous gifts in return!"

Everyone waved their hands repeatedly.

They knew perfectly well that even without their intervention, the True Martial Sect could easily resolve the situation, so they dared not take credit.

Those Gang Essence Realm experts who were confident of passing the assessment and becoming members of the True Martial Sect all had bright eyes at this moment.

Luo Wentian did not disappoint them.

The list was announced on the spot.

Of the thirty-odd people who entered the Questioning Platform, apart from five who were spies, the other dozen or so were morally incompetent, either treacherous and violent or selfish and hypocritical. They all stood by and watched, which further confirmed the correctness of the Questioning Platform.

So, according to this calculation...

Sixteen people remained to pass the test.

Twelve of them are at the White Mist Realm, and four are at the Jade Liquid Realm.

Although these people have some flaws in certain aspects, they are generally good people and worthy of initial trust.

The list has been announced.

Luo Wentian laughed:

"From this day forward, you are all members of my True Martial sect, temporarily serving as its protectors. Protect True Martial, and True Martial will treat you all with utmost kindness!"

He bowed deeply, with great solemnity.

Although these people joined later in life, Luo Wentian wouldn't mind truly accepting them if they were sincere.

Everyone looked serious.

We pay our respects to the Sect Master!

They felt a sense of pride at that moment.

Leaving aside Heavenly Sword Real Person and Real Person Dragon Mountain, the performances of Luo Wentian and the White Ape alone were already extremely powerful. Not to mention the many strengths that the True Martial Sect has shown this time, they are very fortunate.

This was evident from the envious looks in the eyes of those around them.

Luo Wentian was in a good mood.

With the addition of these sixteen guardians...

The True Martial Sect's mid-to-high-level combat strength was greatly replenished.

In a few more days, the original True Martial Nine Sons will be able to advance to the Jade Liquid Realm, and even the Yuan Pill Realm, and then they will be able to make a perfect transition.

After news of the True Martial Mountain assessment spread...

The prestige of the True Martial Sect will surely rise to a new level.

Luo Wentian turned to look at the remaining children and smiled:

"Little ones, it's your turn to be tested. Pass the Heart-Testing Platform, and you'll be members of my True Martial Sect!"

Hundreds of children looked at each other in bewilderment.

Having witnessed the strength of Luo Wentian, the White Ape, and the elders, they all yearned for the True Martial Sect. However, now that the crucial moment had arrived, they hesitated, as the power of the Questioning Platform had been clearly demonstrated before them.

Luo Wentian didn't urge him, he just smiled.

In just one breath, someone responded:

"I, I'll do it!"

Dog Egg was the first to step forward.

Having eaten and drunk his fill and witnessed such a great battle, he was even more determined in his beliefs. At this moment, his hand, wrapped in bandages, was raised, and his eyes were incredibly firm. He had naturally witnessed the wonders of the Questioning Platform, but he was fearless. He had come to join the True Martial Sect, and he was not a spy. He had nothing to fear.

Luo Wentian laughed heartily, his eyes filled with satisfaction:

"Very good!"

Hearing Luo Wentian's praise, Gou Dan grinned foolishly, while the others were filled with envy.

Immediately following Gou Dan, a series of voices rang out:

"I'll do it!"

"Me too!"

Almost all of them were children who performed well in the first stage of the Ascending Heaven Staircase.

The others immediately realized what was happening and responded in unison.

But in just a few breaths, the children's character and wisdom have already diverged.

Fortunately, the platform for asking questions is large enough.

Nearly five hundred people then entered the Questioning Platform together.

Just like before.

Everyone relaxed.

The authoritative voice rang out once more.

The questioning of children will be more rigorous, after all, these are the future of the True Martial Sect, and their roots cannot be crooked.

Respect for teachers, camaraderie among fellow disciples, chivalry, and the spirit of martial arts... all these aspects are about seeking the Dao.

certainly.

They will also ask where you are from.

Some spies were quietly exposed, and some forces have made far-reaching plans to infiltrate from the root. If a genius were to rise to a high position in the True Martial Sect in the future, the benefits would be a hundredfold.

Luo Wentian a cold laugh and ordered his men to take these petty spies away as well.

No one interrupted, and the others were unaware that someone had already been taken away.

The questioning of the heart continues.

Luo Wentian focused his attention on Gou Dan.

On two separate occasions, Gou Dan left a deep impression on him, and he began to admire Gou Dan's talent.

In the process of self-examination.

Gou Dan's answers were all extremely firm and pure.

"He also has a younger sister? She must be an extremely important person in his life." Luo Wentian paid slight attention.

He is interested in taking on apprentices.

However, I plan to observe for a while longer.

Although the sect leader's disciple is not the next sect leader, one must still be cautious.
