"After introducing the rules, let me introduce myself... My name is 'Dong Chong'. I am the outer elder of Yueyao Sect. I am mainly responsible for the transfer and arrangement of outer sect personnel."
The old man said slowly.
"This rule..."
Hearing the rules mentioned by Dong Chong, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but frown, "Using refined mystical techniques to detect... Only those who are under the age of forty and have passed the first stage of the examination?"
Although his current combat power can be compared with the ordinary Dzogchen Realm, his cultivation level is only at the "late stage of the Transcendence Realm".
In the face of spiritual mysticism, there is no way to hide his cultivation!
"Senior Brother Duan, your cultivation is only at the 'late stage of transcending the mortal realm'...According to the rules this old man said, wouldn't it mean that you can't even pass the first stage of the assessment?"
Xiong Hu frowned and cursed: "Why is this Yue Yao Sect's entrance examination breaking the rules? It only looks at cultivation and not combat power? Isn't this a scam?"
Both Xiong Quan and Ling Yun already knew about Duan Lingtian's breakthrough to the late stage of the transcendent realm.
Of course, they also know that although their senior brother Duan is only at the late stage of the Transcendence Realm, his combat prowess can be said to be invincible at the level of the Great Consummation Transcendence Realm.
Even an ordinary Dzogchen Realm might not be the opponent of their Senior Brother Duan.
Ling Yun couldn't help but frown. If Senior Brother Duan couldn't pass the Yueyao Sect's entrance examination, it would really be a big joke.
"Don't worry."
Seeing Duan Lingtian and the others frowning, Fang Ba smiled and said: "Duan Lingtian may not be able to pass the first stage of the assessment... but it is not difficult for Duan Lingtian to pass the second stage of the assessment."
"Second stage assessment?"
Hearing this, Duan Lingtian and the other two people all looked at Fang Bao with doubts on their faces.
Because Dong Chong has not yet said the specific content of the second stage of the assessment, they do not know what the content of the second stage of the assessment is.
"In order to prevent the pearl from becoming dusty, the sect also gives a chance to young geniuses below the level of Small Consummation in the Transcendence Realm... Even if they fail in the first stage, they can still join the sect as long as they pass the second stage assessment."
Fang Tao said.
"There is no need to participate in the second stage of the assessment if you have reached the Great Perfection of the Transcendental Realm; if you have completed the Small Perfection of the Extraordinary Realm, you will participate in the second stage of the assessment, but you have to act as a 'rake'; and those who have not passed the first stage of the assessment will participate in the second stage of the assessment.
, it is a challenge to the 'target'. As long as the challenge is successful, it will be considered as passing the entrance examination and you can directly enter the sect."
Fang Tao continued.
"And those who are challenged and defeated by the Small Consummation of the Transcendence Realm will lose the opportunity to enter the sect."
Fang Bao took one step ahead of Dong Chong and finished explaining the rules of the entrance examination.
Wow!
When Dong Chong finished speaking, all the young talents present were in an uproar.
Only the lords of the Eighteen Cities, including Fang Tao, were not surprised because they already knew the rules.
"So, if Small Perfection in the Transcendence Realm is defeated just once, he will be eliminated and lose the qualification to enter the Yueyao Sect?"
"It's so cruel! You were defeated without even being given a chance."
"Actually, this is understandable. A person who can't even defeat those who are weaker than himself in the Transcendence Realm has almost no future."
"However, this situation should be unlikely to happen... It is generally impossible for a being whose cultivation level is below the Small Perfection level to escape from the mortal realm to defeat an existence to the Small Perfection level."
"That's true. If he is really defeated by a being below the Small Consummation level of the Transcendence Realm, then his skills are inferior to others and he deserves to be eliminated."
…
People around me discussed it a lot and gradually accepted this rule.
"That's okay."
Duan Lingtian breathed a sigh of relief after knowing the contents of this second stage of assessment.
It is not difficult for him to defeat Small Perfection in the transcendent realm.
Soon, under the auspices of ‘Dong Chong’, the elder of the outer sect of the Yueyao Sect, the ‘entry examination’ of the Yueyao Sect officially began.
One by one, young geniuses from the eighteen cities under the Yueyao Sect, recommended by the city lords of each city, as well as young geniuses collected by the elders and deacons of the outer sect of the Yueyao Sect, boarded the stone platform one after another.
A group of ten people were inspected by two middle-aged men behind Dong Chong.
These two middle-aged men are deacons of the outer sect of Yueyao Sect.
Of course, on the surface, it looks like an inspection, but in fact, it is using "spiritual mysticism" to explore the age of each young genius and their cultivation.
"At the age of thirty-six, I passed the Small Perfection state of transcendence."
"At the age of thirty-four, I passed the Small Perfection state of transcendence."
…
The ten young geniuses at the beginning all passed.
"Among the group of young people present, am I the only one who is not a martial artist at the level of Small Consummation or higher in the Transcendence Realm?"
Facing this result, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"There should still be quite a few martial arts cultivators in the later stages of the Transcendence Realm."
As someone who has experienced it, Fang Bao knows far more than Duan Lingtian. "In the Dao Martial Holy Land, there are still many talented martial arts cultivators who can defeat enemies by leapfrogging... However, I have seen late-stage transcendent realm martial arts cultivators who can leapfrog enemies and defeat them."
, at best, it can only defeat the ordinary martial arts cultivators of the Small Perfection in the Transcendence Realm.”
After talking about it, Fang Bao looked deeply at Duan Lingtian.
It's like saying to Duan Lingtian:
Not every martial arts cultivator in the late stage of the Transcendental Realm is as perverted as you, and can even defeat the Great Perfection of the Transcendental Realm.
Just as Fang Tao said.
Among the second batch of young geniuses who came up, there were two who were in the late stage of the Transcendence Realm. They both failed to pass the second stage of the assessment... However, they were not discouraged because of this. It was obvious that they had known this result for a long time.
Their goal is the second stage of challenge.
Only those who are eliminated in the first stage will have a chance to challenge in the second stage.
Among the young geniuses who came up in the third batch, there were more late-stage transcendental realms, accounting for half of them.
The fourth batch is a little less.
When the fifth batch of young geniuses came up, Xionghu screamed, "It's that kid!"
Hearing Xiong Hu's reminder, Duan Lingtian and the others stared at the stone platform in front of them, only to find that among the ten people, 'Ye Man' was standing out.
Ye Man stood there, with a cold aura all over his body, and seemed out of place with the other nine young geniuses... The other nine young geniuses kept a distance from him, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Demon cultivator?"
"This young man is a demon cultivator!"
"Tsk tsk... The speed of cultivation of demon cultivators has always been unparalleled. I don't know how old he is this year and what his level of cultivation is."
"His age and cultivation level must be astonishing... Let's wait and see."
…
Ye Man attracted a lot of attention, and more people's attention was focused on him.
"At the age of thirty, the state of transcendence is complete!"
As one of the middle-aged men beside the outer sect elder Dong Chong spoke, the whole place was in an uproar.
The middle-aged man was talking about Ye Man.
"As expected of a demon cultivator! At only thirty years old, he has already reached the level of perfection in the transcendent realm."
"Awesome! Awesome!"
"Stronger than I thought."
…
For a moment, the whole place was in a state of excitement.
Ye Man was the first ‘Transcendental Realm Great Perfection’ to appear in the Yueyao Sect’s entrance examination today, and he unsurprisingly became the focus of everyone’s attention.
Not only the nine young geniuses standing with him, but also the young geniuses who had passed the first stage of the assessment before him, all paled in front of him.
Ye Man stood on the stone platform, his nose turned to the sky and his face looked proud.
He enjoyed this feeling of being in the spotlight.
At the same time, his condescending gaze also fell on Duan Lingtian, overlooking Duan Lingtian.
"Duan Lingtian, you are destined to be stepped on by me, Ye Man, in this life!"
Ye Man's true energy transmission was extremely arrogant.
However, Duan Lingtian didn't care, his expression remained the same as before, he just glanced at Ye Man lightly, not even bothering to talk to him.
In his eyes, Ye Man is just his defeated general.
It was before, it is now, and it will be in the future.
How can you say you are brave when you have defeated generals?
Duan Lingtian's attitude made Ye Man's face completely darken... He didn't expect that at this time, Duan Lingtian would dare to ignore him like this.
For a moment, Ye Man felt like he was filled with rage.
"Duan Lingtian...if I don't kill you, I, Ye Man, swear that I will not be a human being!"
Ye Man's eyes glowed fiercely, he gritted his teeth and murmured.
Ye Man had reached the Great Perfection of the Transcendental Realm and was directly exempted from the second stage of assessment. He was led by the outer disciples of the Yueyiyao Sect to the outer area of the Yueyao Sect's residence.
Ye Man was also the first among a group of young geniuses present to pass the entry examination and become a disciple of the Yueyao Sect.
"Senior Brother Duan, that Ye Man looks at you as if he wants to devour you... How much hatred do you have against him?"
Although Ye Man's eyes were not directed at him, Xiong Hu was still a little worried.
"For a person with a weak heart, even a small conflict can be regarded as the hatred of killing his father or stealing his wife... How much hatred do you think he has against me?"
Duan Lingtian asked rhetorically.
Xiong Hu was speechless.
The hatred for killing your father, the hatred for taking away your wife, that is the greatest hatred in the world!
"Duan Lingtian, after entering the sect, be careful of that Ye Man... there is no good among demon cultivators. Especially, he is most likely to become a demon because of you!"
Fang Tao said with a solemn expression: "If an average martial arts cultivator or Taoist cultivator falls into the devil's path due to some obsession...then there are only two paths in front of him."
"The first way is to get rid of the obsession, and it will skyrocket from now on! The second way is to fail to get rid of the obsession. At the least, you will become obsessed with the devil, and at the worst, you will be backlashed by the devil's energy, and your body will die."
Regarding demon cultivators, Fang Bao had gone out of his way to understand them.
Even after his wife was forced to death by Liu Huan, he also thought about taking 'revenge' as his obsession, falling into the devil's path and becoming a demon cultivator... because only in that way could he have a chance to take revenge.
However, his wife seemed to have guessed his thoughts. Before committing suicide, she left her last words, telling him not to fall into the devil's path, otherwise, she would die in peace.
His wife died so tragically, no matter how much Fang Bao hated her and wanted revenge, he still couldn't bear to go against her last words.
"I've heard of this too."
Xiong Hu looked at Duan Lingtian, "If he fell into the obsession of the devil, he really wanted to kill you, Senior Brother Duan... Then, Senior Brother Duan, you are his 'old enemy'. Throughout his life, he will either kill you, Senior Brother Duan, or
