• Ye Wudao used his talent Dao Seal to make the ownerless academy branch acknowledge him as its administrator.
• Ye Wudao sensed the seven trial pavilions, the vast Library Pavilion, and the branch’s cultivation tower, combat array, alchemy room, and artifact workshop.

• Ye Wudao learned that the seven pavilions’ examiners were divine projections of the academy’s three deans and four vice deans, who could answer questions but not fight.
• Ye Wudao looked at his system panel and concluded that he did not need exceptional innate constitution to cultivate techniques.

Ye Wudao recorded the Myriad Worlds Returning Origin Art and fused it with the Mysterious Yellow Indestructible Art, creating the Mysterious Yellow Chaos Art. Discovering that the two arts had once been one and that someone may have arranged for him to find them, he questioned whether the system was behind it.

The next morning, Ye Wudao opened the Heaven Gate Sect's recruitment assessment through Myriad Worlds Academy, and Zhao Yiyuan reported that the first candidate had emerged.

• Ye Wudao checked the Jade Slips in the Library Pavilion, where Zhao Yiyuan told him the first candidate had come out.
