Step to Eternal Life - C97
The second day soon arrived. The rush of time brought with it a chilling aura.
As long as they were disciples of the Sect, almost all of them would bring the two servants that the Sect had assigned to them and rush towards the center, which was also a vast platform.
The more outer rings a disciple had, the more seats he would have, and were similarly high up, but this was a place where the weakest Internal Portal disciple was supposed to be. As for the innermost ring, there were only five seats.
The spiritual energy it emitted was enough to force the heavens to retreat and the earth itself to avoid it. Not only that, although this was just an assessment, to the disciples who were relatively weaker, this assessment was also the best time for them to cultivate.
They were taken in as disciples by elders, Sect Master s, and even Grand Elders, and enjoyed a place that ordinary people could not reach. But for this examination, they still had to do their best, and display the strongest possible strength.
Similarly, their arrival had opened up the beginning of the exam.
There were not many people who had come to Pingling Sect like Yun Chen, and more than half of those that Yun Chen was familiar with already came here.
“The disciples of the Hidden Snow Sect, the Thunder, Caiwu, and Can Yueye are nothing to worry about, but that person who has the most secret aura, is in extreme danger. Aside from the few people he recognized, the person who made him the most shocked was the young man sitting diagonally opposite from him. He was not the young man who had injured Yun Chen the other day, but was another person instead, but compared to the other person he knew, he was the gloomiest and most low-key, with his head buried deep under his long hair, and his expression could not be seen.
There are a total of twenty disciples in this ring, but there are only about fifteen disciples left in the first ring. As for the other rings, they are about the same. Only the innermost ring has five people in it. In his heart, Yun Chen silently pondered. The same expression appeared on the faces of the other disciples, as they came to this kind of Sect, their minds were bound to be the first.
Lan Yuxi and Qin Bi Hai, who came with Yun Chen, could only stand behind him and enjoy a little bit of spirit energy.
One of them was sitting cross-legged while the other two were sitting on the ground. They were the decorations for many disciples, but there were some who came alone. They did not need these things.
Time passed and it was the end of the waiting period. Yun Chen saw that no one was around and knew that the good show was about to begin.
“Everyone, Sect is only a temporary place, you need to train your mind. And this time, the classification is different from the previous years, there will be an earth-shattering change.”
It was unknown where it had come from, but the source of its voice constantly surrounded the disciples’ ears, as if it was right next to them. It was speaking in a low voice.
Yun Chen’s deep gaze and unchanging expression, he understood that this was only an indication of how strong he was.
“Everyone who is there will start from the second category since the third category of the school hasn’t arrived yet. For those who just entered the first category, this will be the best appraisal for all of you. Take good care of it.”
The bottomless sound seemed to be completely cut off.
“Could it be that a disciple like us is unable to break through into the second category?” Yun Chen could not help but question. Up till now, everything he knew, including the names of the new disciples, had never been taken seriously.
In a flash, she said slowly, “Master, this requires you to be ranked in the top three in the first category in order to have the chance to attempt it. Moreover, it’s very simple, as long as you can defeat the last person in the second category, then you will be able to enter the third category.
“That’s right, but every five years, Sect’s assessment will constantly change. I heard that ten years ago, the assessment was to first judge the ranking based on the strength of the person, then arrange for a challenge of the same kind, and then battle across categories. But five years ago, it had been a fair battle, and the rankings had risen one by one before finally crossing into the other types of challenges. “That year will also be the most exciting. All the formations on this platform will be activated, ensuring that both sides will be in peak condition in every battle.” Qin Bihai said in detail.
“So that’s the case. I wonder what this year’s competition will be like?” After comparing the heart to the heart, Yun Chen still liked the method of going for a session. Only then would he be able to obtain sufficient tempering.
After hearing the explanation, the voice that had been silent for a long while once again began. However, it appeared to be a little different. You just have to kill to your heart’s content, and you will not die or perish. After you die inside the platform, you will be expelled, and those who are expelled, will lose the right to … “Haha, how interesting.”
“Taizu, please, stop messing around.” The people outside had shocked expressions, but the middle-aged man in front of the sound transmission stone had difficulty speaking.
Beside him was an old man whose eyes shone with red light. He looked around with interest, like an eternally mischievous child.
“Brat, why am I fooling around? This formation hasn’t been tested for a very long time. Ancestor, I guarantee that there won’t be any problems.” The old man solemnly patted his chest as he spoke.
“But what if?” The middle-aged man was very worried about the formation the old man was talking about.
“If there’s no chance, these young second son, if they don’t train properly, they will be caught up by the Pingyin Sect soon. Where is the dignity of our ancestor?” As he spoke, he slapped his old face, feeling infuriated.
“The second type. Hurry up and enter.” Without waiting for the middle-aged man’s reply, the old man’s anger surged as he shouted towards the sound transmission stone.
At the same time, the disciples who were sitting on the platform heard a loud buzzing sound. Some of them couldn’t help but cover their ears to block the sound wave.
As for the disciples of the second category, they stood up solemnly and rushed to the center of the platform. This was an exciting test, and it was a completely different story.
However, the old man casually waved his hand on the Sound Transmission Stone, and the scene unfolded. Behind him, a chair filled with spiritual energy cleared up some mist to nourish the old man.
The middle-aged man let out a helpless sigh. He too materialized a chair, sat down next to the old man, and began to watch the screens.
On the other side of the platform, a huge screen appeared from four different directions. The people on the platform were looking at the same scene as the old man and the middle-aged man. As for the change in the picture, the power seemed to be with the old man.
Just like the others, Yun Chen was also staring at the painting without blinking. That stage of the battle was really worth learning.
“The space you are in, is an illusion created by a formation. In here, as long as it does not exceed the extreme power of the Highest Wisdom Land, you will be able to survive after death and only be kicked out of the center of the platform. This time, it was the voice that had just spoken. Although it was solemn, it was very harmonious, just like the voice of a sect leader.
The noise from earlier had brought about a small disturbance. However, the strangeness of the center of the platform had attracted the attention of the third group of people.
“I never thought that the second category of Sect would actually hold sixty to seventy people.” Looking at the instantly empty platform, Yun Chen could not help but deeply feel that his Sect was powerful.
Pingling Sect, in terms of overall strength, was still located in the middle of the entire Highest Wisdom Land. But just this Sect allowed Yun Chen to understand that his own strength was low, and not worth mentioning.
As he sighed with emotion, the second round of the examination began.
