Yun Baili's Watchful Eyes

The gates of the Purplewood Sect are carved with many images of Purple Purplewood Sect's flourishing purple qi. At the top of the gates are two eagles soaring high.

Looking at the architectural style, which seemed unlike that of the Ye Family, Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but smile slightly.

Ye Jingyu and Ye Haiyu were guarding the palace gate.

There were a few other people whom Ye Jingcheng didn't recognize, but they were probably recruited by the Ye Family from the Purplewood Sect.

The number of members of the Ye Family's Hidden Peak Clan is neither too many nor too few.

However, after opening up several Hidden Island, the clansmen became somewhat overwhelmed and had to admit that having these Purplewood Sect cultivators would be more beneficial to the development of the Ye Family in the Eastern Sea.

Of course, the Ye Family must strike a balance; if they go too far, they will fall into an even more terrifying crisis of leakage.

At that time, even if Ye Xuecang broke through to the Golden Core stage, he might not be able to withstand the crisis.

This is also why Ye Jingcheng is looking forward to the three stages of the imperial examination for his Lineage.

If the Ye Family's three tests are ineffective, he can improve them.

If he passes the three tests well, he can learn something from them.

Ye Jingcheng was not the first person to attempt the trial; there were five cultivators before him.

Three of them are at the Qi Refining stage, and two are at the Foundation Establishment.

Each of them was quite strong, but Ye Jingcheng also knew that many of these cultivators had consumed a lot of spiritual pills made from the inner cores of Demon Beast Core, so their Spiritual Qi was not very refined.

When breaking through a cultivation level, one can almost only rely on elixirs to overcome the barrier.

After all, the Cultivation Method that can be passed down among the common people are not necessarily of Higher Vehicle Cultivation Method.

Changing Cultivation Method is also one of the reasons why many Rogue Cultivator join sects.

"Do you have any special skills?" Ye Jingyu suddenly asked at this moment.

"Special skills?"

"Does alchemy and the art of killing count?" Ye Jingcheng quickly understood why Ye Jingyu had suddenly asked this question.

Someone is watching this area.

Otherwise, Ye Jingyu wouldn't have acted this way.

Ye Jingyu didn't give him a meaningful look, because he knew that Ye Jingcheng and he didn't need to exchange glances at each other.

And the outcome certainly proved this to be true.

Ye Jingcheng simply didn't know why Ye Jingyu could sense it, while he couldn't.

Therefore, in response to what he had revealed these past few days, Ye Jingcheng naturally demonstrated his alchemy skills; otherwise, his act of purchasing spirit medicine would have been somewhat of a cover-up.

"Fine, go in. But your aura is too strong. If you can't get through, don't blame the Purplewood Sect for not giving you a chance," Ye Jingyu said sneer.

"Thank you for informing me, Sect Leader!" Ye Jingcheng wasn't angry; instead, he cupped his hands in greeting.

At that moment, he was somewhat curious about who was paying attention to this.

Is it Manager Yun of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, or Yun Fusheng of the Cloud Sky Pavilion?

But he quickly shook his head.

Both of them are Foundation Establishment cultivators; they may have the guts, but they don't have the strength.

With his fourth brother's vigilance, that was the Yun Family's Purple Mansion.

The Purple Purplewood Sect developed rapidly, but the Yun Family and other forces were constantly infiltrating it.

Of course, regardless of who it is, for Ye Jingcheng, the most important thing right now is to help Ye Xuecang overcome the Lightning Tribulation.

Everything they're doing now seems to be numbing the cultivators' movements.

Ye Jingcheng entered the palace gate, and outside the gate was the Array.

As they entered the Array, the surrounding scenery instantly changed.

Boom!

An endless tsunami swept in, turning the entire sky black. Rolling Dark Cloud, carrying torrential rain and surging waves, engulfed everything in their path.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng's heart was filled with the thought that human power has its limits, while the Heavenly Dao is boundless!

During the tsunami, various Demon Beast appeared.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng landed right in front of Purplewood Island.

Purplewood Island has activated its protective formation and is currently engaged in fierce battle with the Demon Race.

Before Ye Jingcheng's eyes, Spirit Talisman continuously cried out for help.

Now, Ye Jingcheng faces only two paths.

One option is to flee, and the other is to reunite on the island.

Ye Jingcheng knew this was an illusion, and that the sect rarely killed people.

After hesitating for a moment, he went straight to Purplewood Island.

Once you land on Purplewood Island, the illusion disappears immediately, making it extremely simple.

Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but smile slightly. No wonder people say the Purplewood Sect is easy; this kind of illusion couldn't be easier.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng also knew that the Lineage had already been rated at this time.

The reactions of each person attempting the challenge—whether hesitant, decisive, or fearful—were all observed by the Ye Family cultivators.

Testing ability is a pretense; testing character is the real purpose!

Ye Jingcheng continued to the second level, which was more difficult. This level was a spirit puppet with an aura comparable to Ye Jingcheng's.

Ye Jingcheng, with his Foundation Establishment Late Stage strength, could only manage a stalemate with the spirit puppet.

Although this was because Ye Jingcheng held back, it also shows that the spirit puppet conjured on the other side of the Array was extremely good.

Finally, with Ye Jingcheng's sudden change of tactics and the unleashing of the Evergreen Sword, the spirit puppet vanished completely.

Ye Jingcheng also fell to the third level.

"Come and register. What level of skill do you have? You barely passed the first two rounds!" The last one to be called was an old man with a white beard.

The third step was essentially just a question.

This surprised him, but he couldn't help but marvel at how simple the three trials of the Purplewood Sect were.

However, Ye Jingcheng suddenly had a doubt. If it were that simple, then everyone should have come to the Purplewood Sect. In that case, the other three sects wouldn't be too difficult either.

"I am An Yuhuai, the Grand Elder of the Purplewood Sect. Although you have the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, the Supreme Elder of the Purplewood Sect is at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion. If you disrespect the sect elders, you will still be arrested and arrested by the Penal Hall!" Seeing that Ye Jingcheng did not make a move, the old man blew his beard and his eyes showed a hint of anger. He almost wanted to disqualify Ye Jingcheng.

"Elder An, I am skilled in alchemy. I was just injured in the lungs by that spirit puppet, so I was momentarily stunned," Ye Jingcheng said.

Hearing that Ye Jingcheng was skilled in alchemy, Elder An's mood improved somewhat, and he patiently continued to ask Ye Jingcheng about his past, future plans, and his mortal family.

Ye Jingcheng answered them one by one; these were all prepared in advance.

However, he was also surprised. Elder An in front of him seemed a bit different. A Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator was actually asking these kinds of questions.

He was certain there were no Spirit-Inquiring Talisman in front of him.

Moreover, even if there were Spirit-Inquiring Talisman, Elder An wouldn't be able to get any information based on his questioning pattern.

Although Ye Jingcheng was confused, he nodded, finally accepting that he had joined his own sect.

It's not so much difficult, but it is certainly quite tedious.

"Now that you've joined the Purplewood Sect, remember to work hard. You're still young, and your future is incredibly bright. Besides, the Supreme Elder of the Purplewood Sect currently has no disciples. I'm only telling you this!" An Yuhuai said earnestly after giving Ye Jingcheng a Purple Wood Token.

The last word was spoken mysteriously.

Ye Jingcheng nodded repeatedly and even gave away some Spirit Stone.

However, An Yuhuai did not accept it.

This surprised Ye Jingcheng.

"Who do you take me for?" An Yuhuai shouted angrily.

"Only after you join the sect will it be useful to cultivate diligently!"

Ye Jingcheng nodded after hearing this, clearly understanding the implication in An Yuhuai's words about trying hard.

As for whether or not it will be the same at the Purplewood Sect, that depends on his mood.

Ye Jingcheng passed the test and waited behind the palace gate.

To make sure he was alright, he also sized up the others.

As expected, apart from age-based restrictions, only the Yun Family had extremely strict recruitment standards.

The remaining members of the Purple Mansion Lineage were not many.

The Purplewood Sect, in particular, retained about 80% of its members.

The Foundation Establishment sects, however, left behind even more.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng guessed what fate awaited these cultivators.

There are many mineral veins in the Outer Sea, and many resource-rich islands.

The only ones lacking are the guard team and the pioneer team.

At this time, Ye Jingyu also gave Ye Jingcheng a different kind of Jade Slip while explaining the sect rules.

The Jade Slip contained the Ye Family's assessment rules and information about the Ye Family being observed.

Those who were eliminated during the assessment were not those who simply escaped from the illusionary realm.

Some entered Purplewood Island, while others hesitated for a very short time before entering.

In the Ye Family's view, such a cultivator most likely harbors ulterior motives.

It's only natural for independent cultivators to run away; Rogue Cultivator wouldn't truly dedicate themselves to their sect.

Hesitation and further hesitation are characteristic of Rogue Cultivator, as they also worry whether the illusion array is also a killing array.

Only those who have investigated, prepared, and can immediately see that the illusion array is harmless pose the greatest threat to the Ye Family.

On the contrary, those who are stubborn, selfish, and afraid of death are unlikely to be spies.

As for escaping at sea, this is naturally the case for small-scale operations.

But if you try to escape alone during a massive Beast Tide, you'll only perish even faster!

According to the rules, Ye Jingcheng was actually eliminated.

She was simply dragged in by Ye Jingyu.

Moreover, it seems that this fourth brother deliberately showed him the Jade Slip.

Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but smile. In fact, this illusion array was not friendly to those with strong Divine Soul, since those with strong Divine Soul were less affected by the illusion array.

There was absolutely no sense of immersion.

The second challenge is even simpler: observe the origin of the opponent's Cultivation Method and their fighting methods.

These things can sometimes help you roughly determine who the other person is.

At the same time, the Ye Family's Array can also leave a record, which can be considered as drawing on the strengths of various schools, so there is no problem with that.

It also helped with the Ye Family's experience in magical combat.

This can be considered killing several birds with one stone.

The third person was just there to make up the numbers. An Yuhuai was someone recruited by the Ye family after the Ye Family established the Purplewood Sect. Although his cultivation and talent were average, he was extremely enthusiastic about establishing a sect.

After seeing this, the Ye Family indeed granted An Yuhuai most of the management authority over the Purplewood Sect.

Only the power of supervision remains in the hands of the Ye Family cultivators.

It could even be said that An Yuhuai truly contributed to the rise of the Purplewood Sect.

"Did I misunderstand him?" Ye Jingcheng was also somewhat taken aback.

However, he quickly shook his head. An Yuhuai was not important; what mattered was the person hiding in the shadows.

According to the Jade Slip, the one who was paying attention to the Ye Family was indeed the Yun Family's Purple Mansion, and the Hundred-Eyed Master Yun Baili, who was known for his ability to see through people's hearts!

There are Law Treasure that can sense the presence of the Ye Family's palace.

According to the Jade Slip, Yun Baili had once tracked Ye Jingyu, but was later driven away by Ye Xuefan.

In the Jade Slip, Ye Jingyu was also reminding Ye Jingcheng to be careful.

Don't let Yun Baili find an opportunity.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

As the three bells rang, the sect conference came to an end. Those cultivators who were eliminated left the stage dejectedly, while the successful cultivators all looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

Without the label of "Rogue Cultivator," the risk of death is greatly reduced, while the chance of obtaining more Spirit Stone increases.

As for Ye Jingcheng, he could finally openly land on Purplewood Island and take a good look at Purplewood Island current development.
