Chapter Twelve Entrance Exam

  The next morning, the three elders led everyone to a square in front of the Tianxuan Sect's mountain gate, which was about 2,000 meters in circumference.

  Luoyu raised her head and saw that inside the Cloud Heaven Mountain Range, there were countless towering mountains, which was the work of heaven's creation. Further to the southeast, there was a peak as high as ten thousand zhang, with clouds born at its waist and its summit touching the sun. It seemed like a heavenly sword had pierced through the chest of the earth, or as if someone who ascended to heaven had left behind a ladder to steal the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, absorb the essence of the sun and moon, penetrate the earth's veins, pierce the universe, and resonate with the divine. It was majestic and magnificent.

  Rumor has it that the ancestor of Tianxuan Sect happened to travel here, saw the majestic beauty of this mountain range, and had a sudden feeling. The stagnant cultivation had a breakthrough. The ancestor immediately sat down with his legs crossed, quieted his mind, and finally gained insight, only one step away from flying ascension. The ancestor responded in silence, and felt that establishing a sect here would surely make it prosperous. So, he stayed and personally wrote the three characters "Tianxuan Sect". Up to now, the inheritance has been passed down for 60,000 years.

  Luoyu Zheng was sighing here, suddenly realizing that the spiritual energy around him was quickly flying towards a certain place on the left. He hurriedly turned his head to look over and saw a huge spiritual energy group wrapping around a white figure.

  This is Luo Xue's female lead in enlightenment! Luo Yu was speechless, and just by looking at the three words left by her ancestors, she could enter a state of enlightenment, worthy of being the favorite of heaven.

  In fact, considering that the three characters mentioned in the book contain the ancestor's own understanding of the Tao, Luo Yu deliberately reviewed them repeatedly, but did not gain any benefits.

  At this time, three elders had already rushed to Luoxue's side to protect her, while the other four family members were staring at the crowd surrounding them.

  At this time, tens of thousands of people had gathered in front of the mountain gate, mostly children and teenagers waiting to be selected, a small number were family members or elders who accompanied them, only about 10 people were Tianxuan Sect's high-ranking disciples responsible for maintaining order on site, while the Tianxuan Sect cultivators responsible for the selection had not yet arrived.

  Everyone discovered the anomaly of the spiritual energy and unconsciously gathered towards the source of the anomaly. Some people's eyes flickered, some people's eyes were filled with excitement, etc., but only a few people understood the situation and turned to leave.

  At the sight of this, Luo Yu hastily gathered with her cousins around Luo Xue's four sides, not allowing others to disturb. Unintentionally, she discovered that Luo Yi's face was tense, his eyes staring straight at the figure sitting in meditation within the spiritual energy sphere, the veins on his clenched fists throbbing.

  She wouldn't think of ruining Luo Xue's epiphany, would she? Luo Yu suddenly tensed up and stared tightly at Luo Yi, while secretly cursing the people from Tianxuan Sect for not arriving yet.

  It seemed as if he had heard Luo Yu's inner voice. A middle-aged man wearing a purple crown led two people to their side.

  A middle-aged man clasped his fists and bowed, then transmitted his voice to the crowd: "I am Liu Changqing, the current leader of the Tianxuan Sect. Welcome everyone to participate in our sect's disciple selection. Now, except for Elder Huang, everyone will follow my two junior brothers to the left side of the square and wait quietly for the start of the selection."

  Luoyu let out a breath and hurriedly followed everyone else to stand on the left side of the square.

  Luoyu knew that for almost a year, Luoxue would not appear in public again. Because she would be taken directly to the mountain gate by Liu Zhuangmen and become an apprentice under the name Qingxuan's Yuanying Old Ancestor, and then be taken to the back mountain where Qingxuan Old Ancestor was located for secluded cultivation, in order to consolidate the unstable foundation caused by suddenly advancing two levels.

  Luoyu looked at Luoyi again and found that she had regained her calm composure.

  As if sensing something, Luo Yi raised his head, the light in his eyes shot towards Luo Yu like a sharp sword, staring at her for a moment before casually shifting his gaze away.

  What a wolf-like gaze! Luo Yu secretly congratulated herself that her previous action was very subtle, even if Luo Yi felt it but wouldn't really notice anything, and earlier Luo Yi only stared at Luo Xue so she didn't detect her stalking behavior.

  Luoyu thought to herself, Luo Yi's luck in the early stages was only slightly inferior to that of the female lead. If she were to take notice, it would be troublesome! Passersby are a risk, and one must always be cautious!

  Half a column of fragrance later, the 10 Tianxuan Sect cultivators in charge of selection arrived at the square. Then, 5 Jizeng cultivators took out a jade stone platform from their storage bags and placed two round instruments on it. The blue disc was for measuring bone age, while the white one was for measuring spiritual root talent.

  The crowd divided into five groups and began to test one by one. A stage front sat two Tianxuan Sect foundation-building cultivators, with another two Qi-refining cultivators waiting quietly on the side. The two Golden Dan True Men from before sat cross-legged on the side, although they didn't speak, their presence intimidated everyone.

  As Luo Xue had just awakened to her true identity as a member of the Huang family from Qingzhou, the Tianxuan Sect cultivators, who were quite perceptive, arranged for the entire Huang family to be placed in the front row of the first group. Luo Yu was ranked tenth.

  The inner disciples of the Tianxuan Sect are divided into miscellaneous duties, outer door disciples, inner door disciples and close transmission disciples. Only those who have been accepted as formal disciples by a Golden Elixir or higher cultivator can be called close transmission disciples.

  Due to the sect's need for a large number of miscellaneous disciples to plant spiritual crops and handle various chores, Tianxuan Sect is not too strict on the requirements for aptitude. As long as it's not the lowest grade, this test will let them pass. Moreover, later on, everyone will be arranged to climb the Heavenly Ladder, at which time another two-thirds of the people will be eliminated. In the end, only about 6,000 to 7,000 people can enter the sect.

  The others of the Huang family naturally passed through and stood aside waiting for the heavenly ladder.

  After hearing the registration, Luo Yu walked to the front of the jade stone platform and voluntarily placed his hand on the blue disc. The two young Jibei monks in charge of this jade stone platform were one with a tall stature and a thick face, and the other with a slender figure and a handsome appearance.

  "Five years, passed!" The young monk with a honest face nodded and said.

  Luoyu placed her right hand on the white disc again, and a five-colored glow lit up. She felt that this glow seemed brighter than the last test.

  Five elements root, Fire 65, Wood 62, Metal 55, Water 45, Earth 39

  The handsome young man bowed his head in contemplation: a little girl with such qualifications, it's within the acceptable range. But the Huang family is a second-rate aristocratic family, and her cousin is about to rise to prominence, with such a strong background, even if her qualifications were slightly worse, he wouldn't refuse, after all, one more won't make a difference.

  He nodded slightly at the honest young man and said warmly: "Pass, go to the right side of the queue for those who have passed the test and wait for a moment."

  "Thank you, senior!"

  Luo Yu thanked the young man and then walked towards his brother, but in his heart he was pondering why the data from the two tests were different. Was it due to the effect of the purple group?

  Luoyu hastily looked towards other members of the Huang family, only to see them either chatting or standing quietly in the crowd, without anything out of the ordinary. It seemed they hadn't paid attention to her test.

  Luoyu had always been looked down upon by her fellow clan members, they didn't necessarily know the specific data of her spiritual root's purity, and besides, the change in data wasn't obvious either, it was normal that they hadn't discovered it.

  Zi Xuan took two steps forward, pulling Luo Yu to the middle of the team, and said somewhat urgently: "I should be entering the outer gate, I'll be assigned a separate room. When you arrive, come find me, we can discuss anything in private!"

  Did big brother discover it? That's right, he took care of her in every possible way, how could such important information be missed! He was worried that she was too young to understand the need for secrecy and would get into trouble.

  "I know, brother! Once I enter the mountain gate, I will go find you."

  Luo Yu smiled and said with a grin, while tightly grasping her brother's hand.
