The Inner Sect Assessment
The Guiyun Sect's method of accepting disciples is indeed simpler and more direct compared to the Duan Donghe Inheritance.
The Duan Donghe Inheritance consists of 10081 incomplete Emperor Xi Game puzzles, progressing from easy to difficult. For the powerful beings of the Universe Sea, this provides an excellent opportunity to explore their own limits.
However, Guiyun Sect is located on the Origin Continent, where almost everyone has come into contact with the Emperor Xi Game and knows their own limits.
So he simply set a threshold: those who could solve it would be accepted as Outer Sect Disciple, while those who couldn't would be eliminated. Compared to other methods, it was indeed simple and brutal.
This is understandable, since the Duan Donghe Inheritance is passed down through generations. He only needs to choose one Inheritors, so naturally he needs to test the potential of each Inheritors and then select the best among the best.
Guiyun Sect needs to recruit a large number of disciples, so anyone who passes the threshold will be accepted as Outer Sect Disciple.
With this in mind, the Ancestral Dragon Clone began to observe the Emperor Xi Game Emperor Xi Game him. It was incredibly complex, several times more complex than any the Ancestral Dragon Clone had solved before.
However, this was only a test threshold prepared for Outer Sect Disciple, and the overall difficulty was not too great for Void True God. The Ancestral Dragon Clone observed for only a moment before taking advantage of the time difference in the Original Universe of the Universe Sea to completely solve this Emperor Xi Game.
At this moment, the Ancestral Dragon Clone suddenly discovered one of his great advantages: he could use the time difference between the two places to cultivate. Generally speaking, because the Origin Continent's origin is stable, it would take at least Chaos Dominator to change the Time Flow Rate in a local area. However, Gulanxiu's two bodies, one in the Origin Continent and the other in the Universe Sea, naturally have Time Flow Rate difference of 10081 times.
Not to mention that Gulanxiu can Time Acceleration again through Miniature Universe or the space of the Black Pattern Stone Pillar, which gives him a significant advantage in participating in arcane arts or the Emperor Xi Game.
Of course, this advantage cannot be used to comprehend the Law. After all, compared with the Origin Continent, although the Original Universe has a longer history, the major Law are as blurry as if they have been pixelated, and the most crucial parts cannot be seen.
Thinking this, the Ancestral Dragon Clone quickly unraveled the Emperor Xi Game before him. A soft light emanated from the Emperor Xi Game, drawing the attention of everyone on the mountainside.
How is that possible?
"So fast?"
The people on the platform exclaimed in surprise. Many of them hadn't even finished reading the Emperor Xi Game Emperor Xi Game were supposed to solve, yet someone had already solved it. This seemed unbelievable to them.
Of course, no matter how hard it is to accept, they have to accept it. Fortunately, Guiyun Sect does not have a limit on the number of disciples they can accept, so it does not affect them if someone solves the Emperor Xi Game in advance.
Sensing that the Ancestral Dragon Clone had solved the Emperor Xi Game and passed the test, the Great Saint Yuluo was sitting in front of the mountain wall, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the Ancestral Dragon Clone with a look of surprise.
He was well aware of the difficulty of the Emperor Xi Game. Although it wasn't particularly difficult for him, he didn't dare say he could solve it instantly. He knew his strength was already formidable in the Chaos Stage Emperor Xi Game, and his willpower had reached the Chaos Realm Peak. Meanwhile, the Ancestral Dragon Clone was merely a Void True God. Didn't this mean the little guy before him possessed the potential to reach the Chaos Stage or even further?
Thinking of this, a look of horror flashed in his eyes.
After a moment, he suppressed his surprise and said casually, "Little guy! Your name is Gu Long, right? Your talent is quite good. Congratulations on solving this Emperor Xi Game and becoming Outer Sect Disciple of my Guiyun Sect!"
The Ancestral Dragon Clone respectfully said, "Thank you, Great Saint Yuluo!"
Great Saint Yuluo nodded and said, "The others will need some time to solve this Emperor Xi Game. How about you play a game with my disciple? Luo Shang, you play a game with Gu Long!"
His last words were addressed to one of the four Eternal True God behind him, and his tone left no room for argument.
The Eternal True God Luo Shang stepped forward and said to the Ancestral Dragon Clone, "Brother Gu Long, please enlighten me!"
The Ancestral Dragon Clone knew that the Great Saint Yuluo wanted to test its limits, and since the Ancestral Dragon Clone also wanted to show its strength, it did not refuse or stand on ceremony, and directly placed a piece in the void.
The Eternal True God Luo Shang followed closely behind, placing his pieces in the void. The two exchanged moves rapidly, each placing a piece quickly. Because of the time difference in the Original Universe, the Ancestral Dragon Clone had ample time to think. However, Luo Shang, as an Eternal True God and a Core Disciple of the Guiyun Sect, did not want to lose to a Void True God like the Ancestral Dragon Clone Ancestral Dragon Clone anywhere. Therefore, he not only wanted to win the game but also wanted to be faster.
Soon, two complex and mysterious Secret Pattern Diagram appeared in the void.
At this moment, Luo Shang's face was grim, his brows furrowed, and he hesitated to make a move. He realized that because he had moved too quickly, he was now in a completely passive position, and no matter where he placed his piece, he would not be able to turn the tide!
The Great Saint Yuluo, who was observing from the sidelines, sighed inwardly. As an outsider, he had a clearer view and knew that Luo Shang had already lost. With his comprehension and willpower, he should have been able to fight steadily, and although he should not have been a match for the Ancestral Dragon Clone, he should not have been defeated so quickly!
However, his pursuit of speed and desire for a quick victory has put him in a passive position, and now he is finding it difficult to move forward.
After pondering for a moment, Luo Shang sighed and said, "Brother Gu Long Gu Long, I've lost this round! I wonder if you could teach me another round?"
When he said this, he humbled himself, because he calmed down and found that although the Ancestral Dragon Clone was fast, it had no flaws. Many of the layouts that he couldn't understand before had become the key to the outcome. Therefore, he had already decided that the Ancestral Dragon Clone's comprehension and calculation ability were superior to his own, so he attached great importance to the Ancestral Dragon Clone!
The other three Eternal True God behind the old man simultaneously showed a hint of surprise in their eyes. They knew very well that Luo Shang was the strongest among the four of them in terms of talent and strength. If Luo Shang had admitted defeat so quickly, then the potential of the Ancestral Dragon Clone was unimaginable.
Upon hearing Luo Shang's words Ancestral Dragon Clone nodded and said, "Of course, Brother Luo Shang! Please!"
In a normal game Emperor Xi Game has a slight advantage in going first, so after Ancestral Dragon Clone went first in one game, Luo Shang went first in this game.
Luo Shang didn't stand on ceremony and placed a piece in the void, with the Ancestral Dragon Clone following closely behind.
Both sides took turns leaving divine power in the void. This time, Luo Shang clearly learned from the previous game. No matter how fast the Ancestral Dragon Clone up its formation, he remained calm and composed, maintaining his own rhythm.
Moreover, we carefully consider each step to avoid making mistakes.
However, there was an absolute gap in comprehension between the two sides. Even though Luo Shang had tried his best to calculate, he gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.
At this moment, Luo Shang's moves became slower and slower, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, clearly indicating that he had reached the limit of his computing power. Even so, he was still struggling with the various points of his next move. According to his calculations, no matter how he placed his pieces, he would be completely defeated by the attack of the Ancestral Dragon Clone.
Just as Luo Shang was hesitating, the Great Saint Yuluo sighed and left a divine power in the void. This divine power then merged with the Secret Pattern Diagram formed by Luo Shang's previous divine power, making Luo Shang's Secret Pattern Diagram even more stable.
Luo Shang's eyes lit up when he saw this move, because this move stabilized the situation on the field. Although they were still at a disadvantage, they were beginning to show signs of a counterattack.
A moment later, the light in his eyes disappeared again, because he knew that his teacher had made a move, which meant that he had lost this round once more.
The Ancestral Dragon Clone focused its gaze on Great Saint Yuluo, and seeing the latter nod slightly to him, it already knew the answer in its heart.
So he nodded to his opponent and continued placing pieces in the air.
The personal intervention of the Great Saint Yuluo increased the pressure on the Ancestral Dragon Clone, requiring careful consideration of every step. Even with the time difference of the Original Universe, the speed of each move slowed down.
The same was true for the Great Saint Yuluo. Although he managed to turn the tide, the trap Luo Shang had dug was too big, forcing him to devote himself fully to avoid falling behind.
Both sides continuously gathered divine power in the void, one hand at a time, and in the blink of an eye, a hundred days had passed.
At this moment, a total of twenty-one Void True God and two hundred and twelve True God on the platform have solved the Great Saint Yuluo Emperor Xi Game left by Great Sage Yu Luo, and have gained the qualification to become Outer Sect Disciple of the Guiyun Sect.
At this moment, everyone was watching the match between the Ancestral Dragon Clone and the Great Saint Yuluo. A Rhinoceros Emperor Xi Game Emperor Xi Game, far more complex than the one used to test Void True God, appeared in the void. Many Void True God cultivators who had passed the test looked at the Ancestral Dragon Clone with complicated expressions.
They're both examinees, so why is there such a huge difference between them?
Both sides continued to refine this Emperor Xi Game by placing their pieces.
Nearly ten days later, Great Saint Yuluo sighed and said, "Young friend Gu Long is indeed formidable! I tried my best but couldn't gain any advantage. How about we call this a draw?"
The avatar of the Ancestral Dragon Clone nodded and said, "Thank you for your mercy, Great Saint Yuluo. If you had continued, I would definitely have lost."
Of course, although the Ancestral Dragon Clone said this, he knew in his heart that if they continued, it would most likely end in a draw, so he might as well back down!
Great Saint Yuluo nodded to the Ancestral Dragon Clone and then said to the crowd, "Those of you who have passed the Emperor Xi Game, stay here for the hundred days. The rest of you, go down the mountain!"
Although the tone was one of discussion, the meaning behind the words was unquestionable.
As soon as he finished speaking, before anyone else could say anything, he casually waved his hand, and those True God and Void True God who had failed the Emperor Xi Game's assessment disappeared on the mountainside.
At this moment, he addressed the remaining True God and Void True God, saying, "Congratulations on becoming Outer Sect Disciple of my Guiyun Sect. However, Outer Sect Disciple are only the lowest-ranking members of my Guiyun Sect. Next, we will begin the third stage of the test. If you can pass the test, you will become Inner Disciple of my Guiyun Sect. If, during this period, you can become disciples of one of the Nine Peak Masters of my Guiyun Sect, you will become Core Disciple of my Guiyun Sect. So, do your best! Strive to pass this third test."
In the end, he focused his gaze on the Ancestral Dragon Clone. The light shone intensely on the Ancestral Dragon Clone, and in his view, the Ancestral Dragon Clone through the third trial wouldn't be too difficult. He could then take the avatar as his disciple, making him Core Disciple of the Guiyun Sect. Given time, with the avatar's comprehension, he was almost certain to become Chaos Dominator. Having a disciple at the Chaos Master Level would be incredibly prestigious!
At this moment, the Great Saint Yuluo had already begun to reminisce.
A moment later, he took out a Scroll Painting, on Scroll Painting was a boundless starry Starry Sky, and a mysterious power slowly flowed across Scroll Painting.
The Great Saint Yuluo said, "This painting was created by our sect Sect Leader. It contains an entire world, with each Xing Chen representing a space. Once you enter, you will all appear on different Xing Chen. Your test is to defeat yourself and successfully break free from the constraints of the planets to emerge outside the world. Each of you has one hundred days. If you fail to break free, you will be considered a failure! Alright! Come in!"
As he spoke, the Great Saint Yuluo fully unfurled the Scroll Painting, and the energy within Scroll Painting began to circulate slightly, slowly forming a black hole.
Having learned from their previous experience, these True God and Void True God quickly entered this world through the black hole, hoping to gain the upper hand.
The Ancestral Dragon Clone also entered the Painting World along with the main force.
With a flash of light, the Ancestral Dragon Clone appeared inside a Xing Chen, where a figure that looked exactly like Xing Chen Ancestral Dragon Clone appeared.
The Ancestral Dragon Clone knew that this was Replica of himself. According to the Great Saint Yuluo, only by defeating himself could he pass the test. Fortunately, this Replica only replicated his current strength. As long as he improved his strength here, he would be able to defeat the Replica.
At this moment, the Ancestral Dragon Clone discovered that the Ten Basic Laws within this Xing Chen were fully manifesting and continuously merging.
First, they merged into the Eight Beast God Paths, then the Eight Beast God Paths continued to merge into two Great Law, and finally these two Law merged into the complete Chaos Law.
The Ancestral Dragon Clone's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Wonderful! There's even a complete evolution of the Chaos Law here. This environment is perfect for my cultivation."
With that, the Ancestral Dragon Clone began to cultivate diligently, hoping to improve his strength during this time, defeat his Replica, and become Inner Disciple of the Guiyun Sect.
However, the Ancestral Dragon Clone failed to notice that a slender man with long, blue hair and an ancient sword on his back suddenly appeared not far behind him. He was looking at the Ancestral Dragon Clone and muttering to himself, "This little guy actually possesses Infinite Divine Body with 90,000 times the Life Gene! His comprehension is truly heaven-defying! With Infinite Divine Body, he's guaranteed to reach the Chaos Realm Peak in the future, and under my personal tutelage, he might even be able to explore the secrets of the God King. To have such a promising talent in this disciple recruitment conference is truly an unexpected gain!"
"
After saying this, the person disappeared behind the Ancestral Dragon Clone like a wisp of breeze.
