Chapter 1872 Two Million Three Hundred Thousand
"It's over?"
On the seventh-floor platform, the scholar Zhu Xi looked up at the sky.
The stone tablet in front of him was filled with a faint wave of fate, deep and quiet, like an old man who had experienced the world, slowly telling the destiny of the world.
"After a hundred years of practice, I barely reached the seventh floor. I don't know if I can be recognized by the Xihuang Palace and become a candidate disciple."
The scholar's eyes were full of expectations and trepidation.
Over the years, he has met many fellow disciples and several uncles who have entered the realm of world masters, such as Wendao, Tianxing, Qingshui, Fangcun... There is no doubt that those who can become masters in the Samsara Holy Realm have much higher talents and understanding than him.
The Samsara Holy Realm is not like the Hunyuan Void.
The restrictions on life span there are too great. The 129,600-year limit oppresses all living beings at all times. There is no incense system, heaven-worship system and other means, and there is no guidance from high-level world masters or even the Supreme Master of Heaven and Earth. The path of practice is undoubtedly much more difficult.
Therefore, those who can become the Venerables there are all extremely talented and gifted.
They may not be as good as Bamu and Tianji, but they are definitely much better than the ordinary elites of the Xihuang Palace. They have broken through the Seven Difficulties and become the Venerables.
In comparison, the scholar Zhu Xi is much inferior.
With his qualifications, if he were in the Samsara Holy Realm, his hope of becoming a Venerable would be almost zero.
"I heard that Master Wendao and Master Tianxing have already stepped onto the eighth level, and Master Qingshui has also understood the seventh level of the law in the past few years. Compared with them, my hope of being favored by the Xihuang Palace is definitely much smaller."
The scholar took a breath silently.
In any case, at least he tried.
...
Except Zhu Xi, other practitioners also raised their heads silently.
The sky was changing, and figures appeared high in the clouds. Each figure was like a god, emitting a frightening breath fluctuation.
The Supremes of Qiankun, whether in terms of life level or Dao law will, are far above the transcendent realm. Even the thought space cannot stop their terrible divine power. After all, in a sense, they are already heaven-like existences.
One person is a world.
Whoosh!
The wind roared.
One of the Supremes waved his palm, and in an instant, Zhu Xi, Wen Dao, Tianxing, Chu Weijun, Qingshui... all of them were enveloped by a majestic force, and as their bodies swayed, they came to an island with condensed clouds.
There were already densely packed practitioners gathered here, and each of them was a participant in the test.
And above their heads, hundreds of Supremes stood with their hands behind their backs, especially the few in the middle, with a huge and unpredictable aura, as if they were towering mountains.
"The legendary elders of the Xihuang Palace..."
Looking at those figures, Qingshui, Tianxing and other world masters couldn't help but tremble secretly.
The Supreme of Heaven and Earth was already an existence beyond their reach, and those elders made them even more shocked and eager, because such existence was already the pinnacle of the cultivation world... at least in their eyes, it was already the pinnacle.
"I am Chengkong, the supervisor of this sect election."
Elder Chengkong looked at everyone with indifference, "This election, our sect has selected a total of 2.3 million people, and they will also be candidate disciples of my Xihuang Palace."
2.3 million?
The cultivators on the island immediately showed excitement, especially those True Venerables in the fifth and sixth difficulties.
With so many people, how could they be ranked?
However, the Supremes in the depths of the cloud shook their heads. 2.3 million, is it a lot? But those cultivators don't know that 99% of them are ordinary Venerables, and there are very few above the True Venerable realm.
Because according to the rules of the Xihuang Palace, only those who climb the cloud platform that exceeds their own cultivation can be considered to have passed the test of the nine-layer cloud platform.
That is to say, the first difficulty venerable needs to ascend to the second level; the second difficulty venerable needs to ascend to the third level; the third difficulty venerable needs to ascend to the fourth level... and so on, until the seventh difficulty realm venerable, the requirements are slightly lower.
Because the more you go up the cloud platform, the higher the difficulty.
From the seventh level to the eighth level, it is equivalent to the gap between the concentration realm and the refinement realm, which cannot be crossed in one or two hundred years. Moreover, to become a realm venerable within one year, one's own talent must be absolutely not bad, so the requirements of the Xihuang Palace are also much lower.
Looking at the excited crowd, Elder Chengkong hummed and continued:
"Don't be happy too early. Passing the Nine-Layer Cloud Platform Test only means that you are qualified to join the Xihuang Palace, but it does not mean how high your status in the Xihuang Palace is."
"There are five levels of disciples in the Xihuang Palace, namely menial, registered, outer sect, inner sect, and core."
"With your cultivation, most of you will be listed as menial disciples, especially those Venerables below the True Venerable Realm. Even if you pass the test, you will not have any resources. Unless you have extraordinary talents, you may be promoted by exception."
"Registered disciples are generally in the True Venerable Realm."
"Going up is the outer sect disciple who can only reach the Realm Venerable Realm, which is also the highest level of your sect election this time. However, to become an outer sect disciple, you must be recognized by a branch hall, so you are about to go to the second trial secret realm, where your future will be finally determined."
As soon as the voice fell, millions of rays of light fell from the sky and merged into the bodies of practitioners.
More than 90% of them were Venerables below the True Venerable Realm.
Obviously, these practitioners who received the light were the candidate disciples selected by the Xihuang Palace.
