Beneath the Thousand Miasma Forest, winds surged and clouds billowed; beyond the clouds, dark currents stirred. A grand competition within the Jade Screen Sect School was destined to grip everyone's attention.
In this competition, some will rise to prominence, while others will be eliminated.
Only those cultivators who are ultimately selected will become the core disciples of the sect, and they will represent the future of the Jade Screen Sect School.
After a second round of trials in the Deacon Hall, twenty cultivators became famous to everyone, even though they were not the final victors.
However, in the upcoming personal selection by the sect leader, they have already surpassed countless disciples.
The path to strength lies beneath your feet, the path to immortality lies ahead, and the core disciples of the Jade Screen Sect School are in the Boundless Wilderness!
Only those who truly reach the end are the strong, and only those who truly survive in this Boundless Wilderness are the heroes!
The selection process of the Jade Screen Sect School is not only for the future development of the sect, but also to train batches of disciples.
To confront the true obstacles on one's path to immortality lies within one's own true nature.
Core disciples are indispensable, and the strongest contend for supremacy on the path to immortality!
This is a path unlike any other; this is a choice with no turning back!
Perhaps when they understand what a core disciple is, they will also understand the various trials and tribulations on the path to immortality, within the Sea of Suffering and Calamity.
Inside the main hall of the main ridge, Yunlong stood there with deep eyes and a majestic expression.
His aura was released without any concealment; the selection of twenty people for the Jade Screen Sect School of trials was of great importance.
The current competition is the final one, and it's also the process of the sect leader personally selecting the winners.
Inside the main hall, all the cultivators lined up in a row were at the Immortal Realm realm.
They were over middle-aged, possessed a profound and deep aura, and were usually addressed as "True Men" in public.
At this moment, they stood in two rows inside the main hall. These were the masters of various mountains Beyond the Cloudy Heavens, gathered here to meet the sect leader.
Today, the main ridge is resplendent in gold, and the golden peak atop the mountain resembles a giant pearl.
When countless lights suddenly illuminated the mountain range, it stood out above everyone else.
It's like something from outer space, showcasing the magnificence of the main vein with its dazzling aura!
Today, Yunlong was dressed in a blue robe with dragon patterns, wearing a golden crown, and his hair was neatly styled. His overall demeanor was almost divine.
He wore a jade belt around his waist, with two long golden tassels hanging at his sides, and two gold and jade pendants hanging on his sides.
When all the Mystic Immortal cultivators had arrived and were standing inside the main hall, Yunlong slowly turned around.
The jade rings jingled together, producing a clear, crisp sound, and the long, golden tassels swayed even without wind.
Yunxiang and Yun Hong, standing to the left and right of the crowd respectively, led the people behind them to respectfully bow to the Yunlong in the center of the hall:
"We greet the Sect Master!"
When Yunlong saw his fellow disciples bowing to him at the head of the table, a hint of bewilderment flashed in his usually dignified eyes.
These are the backbone of the Jade Screen Sect School, the cream of the crop who have survived the selection process over the years.
It was they who, with their own bodies, upheld the Jade Screen Sect School's position in the Boundless Wilderness.
Back then, I was one of those who bowed down in this great hall, and only after being selected did I gradually rise to the position of sect leader.
Now, time has passed, and the former core disciple has become the sect leader. He is now testing the next generation of core disciples.
Of those core disciples from that generation, how many survived to the end?
Yunlong's gaze swept over Yun Hong below.
Like Yunxiang, he was also Yunlong's junior brother, and was praised by the ancestor as the most intelligent person.
Yun Hong has made significant contributions to the sect's formations over the years, but Yunlong knows that he is also the representative of the family's cultivators in the Jade Screen Sect School.
He will definitely be paying close attention to the upcoming final selection, and may already be recruiting people.
Out of consideration for their past brotherhood, Yunlong wouldn't be too harsh on cultivators like Yun Hong, but he would certainly give them a necessary warning.
Yunlong wanted everyone to know clearly who was in charge of the Jade Screen Sect School!
After Yun Hong bowed down, he could feel a pressure pressing down on his back from time to time.
He knew that the oppressive aura came from his senior brother Yunlong, but he dared not move rashly from below and could only stiffen his body to withstand it.
However, fine beads of sweat had already formed between his temples.
Both are at the Late-stage Mystic Immortal realm, yet they possess such overwhelming power. Yunlong is probably about to enter the Twofold Immortal.
The fact that he took the time to personally select candidates at such a crucial moment shows how much he values this election...
"Everyone, please rise! Yunxiang, please read the list of selected candidates one by one!"
"Thank you, Sect Master!"
As Yunlong's majestic voice echoed in the hall, the cultivators present seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, returned the greeting, and then bowed their heads and stood still.
After the cultivators stood up, they recalled the oppressive aura emanating from the sect leader earlier, and each of them was somewhat surprised.
Yunlong has never used his power to intimidate others, but today...
Only Yun Hong on the right side of the field knew what was going on.
After everyone had taken their positions, Yunxiang stepped forward first, bowed slightly in front of Sect Master Yunlong, and then turned to the crowd, saying:
" The Deacon Hall, choosing twenty people. The first one was..."
"Cultivator Yunluan, disciple of the Deacon Hall!"
" Yun Xiao, disciple of the Deacon Hall!"
"Nineteenth, Yunya cultivator, guardian of the Boundless Wilderness!"
"The twentieth, Yunmo cultivator, is the guardian of the Rotten Peach Mountain Dao Field the Boundless Wilderness!"
"Cultivator Yun Peng, the guardian master of the Mystic Immortal Daoist Sanctuary in the Boundless Wilderness!"
"Cultivator Yun Feng, the eldest disciple within the blessed land!"
"Cultivator Yun Feng, disciple of a blessed land!"
"This final selection involves 25 disciples, each with varying levels of cultivation and strength. However, regardless of their origin, the selection will be based solely on their combat prowess!"
As Yunxiang stepped into the center of the arena and announced the names, one by one, the expressions of the crowd below changed.
When he heard that most of the disciples came from the Boundless Wilderness, Yun Hong's expression changed several times.
A shadow even appeared on the handsome man's face, but he finally breathed a sigh of relief and recovered when he heard Yun Feng.
As Yunxiang's voice settled inside the hall, everyone fell silent for a moment, as if pondering the selection of the person to be chosen.
After exchanging whispers, they bowed again to Yunlong at the head of the table and said:
"We beseech the Sect Master to make the final decision!"
Yunlong, who was at the head of the table, had been watching their reactions closely. He already knew about the list that Yunxiang had mentioned.
Yun Hong, who was below, undoubtedly received the most attention from Yunlong. Wasn't he trying to recruit more people?
Then let me show you for yourself who really has the most power within the Jade Screen Sect School!
"Thank you for your selection, Hall Master. For this final test, I intend to select only 12 out of these 25 people. Those 12 who remain will be the core disciples of this year!"
"12 people?"
"So little?"
Wasn't it 15 people in previous years?
As soon as Yunlong finished speaking, the cultivators below couldn't help but speak up.
