That momentous experience was repeated, but fortunately, the old cunning man was already quite adept at it. After a moment of preparation, he bowed to Perfected Yunxiang.
Perfected Yunxiang seemed to be in a great mood after seeing that all twenty people in the second round of testing had been selected.
He stood there watching the crowd nod repeatedly, then turned around and loudly addressed the crowd:
"The selection of the twenty candidates for today's re-examination has been completed. The disciples of the Deacon Hall have worked hard and diligently. After receiving their rewards, they will each return to their duties."
"The remaining twenty will undergo a second round of selection, all holding jade tokens and awaiting summons. The next selection process will be personally overseen by the sect leader!"
After announcing the rankings, Perfected Yunxiang glanced around the arena, and all the disciples in blue robes straightened up.
After reading it, Perfected Yunxiang nodded slightly, then waved his long sleeves and disappeared outside the Deacon Hall.
He was going to report the results of today's selection to Sect Master Yunlong in detail.
"We will see you off, Lord!"
As Yunxiang's figure vanished in an instant, the blue-robed cultivators in the arena all bowed in unison.
When I looked up again, the heavy feeling I had felt before was gone.
Upon hearing Yunxiang's words, Xu Long couldn't help but look at the group of cultivators around him.
When I turned my head, I instantly met a pair of gloomy eyes.
The black and white pupils in those eyes were very distinct, like colors rising from a dye vat, constantly shifting within their sockets.
The black and white colors carried an endless darkness, swallowing up all the gazes directed at them.
Xu Long narrowed his eyes slightly, his pupils reflecting only a sinister and unfathomable smile.
Yunya!
This was a cultivator in the Early-stage Mystic Immortal, second only to the one beneath him.
Xu Long knew that since Yun Xiao was testing him in the fragmented space, other cultivators would also be arranged to be tested by the corresponding disciples of the Deacon Hall.
Yunya was at the Early-stage Mystic Immortal, so he must have been facing another Mystic Immortal cultivator.
This person's eyes were gloomy and unfathomable, and his smile was sinister and eerie.
Although Xu Long didn't know his true strength, he could tell from that one glance that he was no ordinary person.
The Yunya cultivator's aura was extremely difficult to fathom; he seemed to be immersed in darkness, making it impossible for anyone to discern his true strength.
His aura was rather lonely, and he was like a block of ice in the darkness, or a Viper lurking in the grass.
When his black and white eyes opened and closed, an aura of death descended upon him.
Yes! It's the smell of death.
Xu Long was particularly sensitive to this aura of death.
Regardless of other cultivators, the one who left the deepest impression on me among those I've faced who exuded an aura of death was Shankui.
That was Saint who could bring about his own death!
When Xu Long fought the Shankui in the heart of the Land of Exile, he clearly felt that aura of death.
However, compared to the Yunya, the Shankui's death aura is undoubtedly purer and more solid.
Moreover, Shankui is not only filled with deathly aura, but also brimming with vitality.
It is precisely because of the two completely different energies of life and death that the body is cultivated.
Only the Shankui could stand at the Saint Realm, and only he could comprehend the Law of Life and Death in the ancient times.
Although the Yunya cultivator exuded a strong aura of death, he was far from reaching the level of the Shankui.
It also lacks its own independent rules, and the practice of engraving inscriptions is unheard of.
Moreover, after observing Yunya, Xu Long felt that this fellow seemed to have gone astray.
Although his gloomy face and chilling demeanor were captivating.
However, based on his own experience, Xu Long believed that this kind of technique might not last long.
Because he only possesses death energy and lacks vitality, how will he cope with the backlash during his future breakthrough if the death energy becomes too intense?
In the cycle of cause and effect, how can anyone truly escape?
There is only one Shankui in the world, and only one independent Law of Life and Death.
Xu Long gave Yunya a deep look, then deliberately looked away.
As Xu Long looked at him, Yunya was also Wuji sizing him up.
He naturally knew why Yunxiang announced Xu Long's spot at the last minute.
Because of the trials within the fragmented space, Xu Long was constantly being monitored by Yunxiang.
Yunya considered himself to have performed reasonably well within the fragmented space, but when the rankings were announced, he was placed one place below Xu Long.
Perhaps in Perfected Yunxiang's mind, this was merely a ranking in the retest.
But when Yunya saw Xu Long appear at the end, even he, with his proud nature, couldn't help but stare at Xu Long.
Upon hearing the name Yunmo, he finally realized who the other person was.
The praise from Perfected Lord Pinglu had already made Xu Long famous, and when Yunya saw the selection results, a sense of surprise arose in his heart.
Then, when Xu Long's gaze fell upon him, he deliberately resorted to some underhanded tactics.
This is a strange phenomenon he has cultivated for many years, and when he unleashes it, it can captivate people's souls.
Those who lack a firm will will quickly become captivated by Yunya's gaze.
But Xu Long only glanced at himself deeply before breaking free from his own strange vision.
After Yunya withdrew that captivating phenomenon, Xu Long had already passed over him.
Xu Long's meaningful gaze was deeply etched into Yunya's heart.
Yunya, standing to the side, raised an eyebrow slightly, his gloomy eyes etching Xu Long's face firmly into his mind.
When he used his special phenomenon to make eye contact with Xu Long, he also sensed Xu Long's aura and determined that the other party was only Middle Stage Earth Immortal cultivator.
But he was a cultivator in the Early-stage Mystic Immortal!
I thought that with his exceptional talent and refined Magic Power, defeating Yunluan and her group at the Early-stage Mystic Immortal was already a remarkable feat of challenging someone of a higher level.
But after meeting Xu Long, he realized what a true challenge against someone of a higher level meant.
He dared to confront Mystic Immortal cultivator head-on with only his Earth Immortal Realm realm, and even passed the test. Compared to that, his Immortal Realm realm was simply incomparable.
After the second round of interviews, the sect leader will personally select the candidates. At that time, he will surely see your abilities in front of the sect leader.
Yunmo, who fought bravely against the Beast King, I Yunya, am waiting for you!
Xu Long didn't want to pay attention to Yunya's strange behavior; he knew that most people who cultivated abnormal Magic Power had strange personalities.
This is because they do not follow the right path, and they do not have the true ability of the Shankui to control the backlash of death energy, so over time it can affect their character.
When Xu Long met Yunya's gaze, he also realized that the other party was at the Early-stage Mystic Immortal.
However, being able to pass the test of the disciples of the Deacon Hall within the fragmented space, this guy's combat strength must be extraordinary.
To be able to challenge Yunluan, Mid-stage Mystic Immortal, shows that not all cultivators in this Earth Realm are law-abiding.
There are always powerful figures like myself. Cultivators who can stand out from the crowd are not to be underestimated.
Xu Long had anticipated this, and after shifting his gaze, he carefully examined the twenty people taking the second round of interviews.
The cultivators who emerged from the gate were mostly at the Profound Immortal Realm realm, with a few Heavenly Immortal cultivators mixed in among them.
These Heavenly Immortal cultivators all possessed exceptional natural talent, their combat prowess far surpassed that of their peers, and their willpower was extremely unwavering.
The fact that they were able to select core disciples based on their own Immortal Realm is itself a testament to their courage.
