Outside the Great Luo Holy Land, countless mountain peaks were already teeming with people. Flying boats floated in the air, and beast-drawn carriages rolled by, creating a scene of grandeur.
Undoubtedly, these were families and factions sending their descendants to participate in the Great Luo Holy Land's entrance examination.
However, it was almost certain that these factions wouldn't be particularly powerful.
Because powerful factions, wanting to send their descendants to the Great Luo Holy Land, wouldn't need to wait for a specific examination time. They could send them anytime.
Only weaker factions would wait for a specific time to send their people for the examination.
Of course, not just anyone could join the Holy Land, so even if some powerful factions sent their people, if they were unqualified, the Holy Land wouldn't accept them.
Unless...
It was a faction that could almost rival the Great Luo Holy Land, such as the Imperial Clan...
If the Imperial Clan sent one or two useless disciples, the Holy Land might be kind enough to help raise them.
If they lacked talent and background, forget it.
It was just that realistic!
At this moment, the examination had just concluded.
In the sky, a massive gray mirror floated. This was a spatial artifact. The final test was conducted within this artifact.
Well, when Chu Yuan entered, he didn't undergo any examinations. After all, who would dare test him?
Did they not trust their ancestors' judgment? Or did they want to deliberately pick a fight?
No one dared defy the odds!
Streams of light flew out, landing on the square outside the gate, transforming into figures.
"Hahaha, I succeeded! I passed the exam!"
"Father, I'm about to join the Great Luo Holy Land! Once I cultivate, I will avenge you!"
"Damn it, almost, almost!"
"Ai, it's over, it's all over!"
"This exam is too difficult. There's no way to pass!"
...
Some rejoiced, while others were filled with sorrow.
Over ten thousand people participated in the examination, but only about a thousand passed.
And this exam was held by the Holy Land only once every three years.
"Hahaha, I, Ji Duan, passed the exam! I'm finally joining the Great Luo Holy Land!!! I will bring glory to my ancestors!!!"
Among the crowd in the square, a young man burst into laughter.
"Young Master, Luo Li has appeared!" A voice echoed in the young man's ear.
"What?" The young man narrowed his eyes, "Where is she? Did she pass the exam?"
"She just arrived and didn't make it in time for the exam! She's just a short distance away!" The old voice rang out again.
"Good, good, good. Watch me kill her!" Ji Duan flew towards a mountain peak and arrived in front of an old man in a black robe.
This old man in the black robe was his guardian, a Nirvana Realm peak cultivator!
"It's really her!" Ji Duan followed the old man's gaze and saw a beautiful girl.
At this moment, the girl was also staring at his position, her eyes filled with hatred.
"Heh... Unexpectedly, she managed to escape here. Sadly, she missed the Holy Land's exam. If she had joined the Holy Land, it would've been quite troublesome to kill her. But now, she's on the verge of death!" Ji Duan sneered.
"Young Master, this is the Great Luo Holy Land's territory. Don't make a move rashly. If you offend those people from the Holy Land, it won't be good." The old man reminded him.
"Old Black is right. Keep an eye on her. After I join the Holy Land, wait for her to leave before making a move! Don't kill her right away, seal her cultivation. I want her to suffer a living hell!" A vile expression appeared in Ji Duan's eyes.
On the other side, Luo Li clenched her fists. She didn't expect to encounter her enemy here!
Moreover, he had passed the Great Luo Holy Land's exam!
"You are currently outside the Great Luo Holy Land. They will be mindful of the Holy Land and won't attack you. You are safe for now. Of course, I can't easily make a move either, lest I expose my identity!" The Sword Spirit reminded her.
"Mm-hmm, I understand."
Luo Li nodded. She desperately wanted to avenge Ji Duan and his guardian right now, but her current cultivation was far from enough.
Unless the Sword Spirit made a move, but it couldn't be exposed now. She could only endure it.
On Ji Duan's side, he didn't make a move either, nor did he come over to taunt her. He didn't want to attract attention.
"Those who have passed the exam, come here to register. The top ten performers will directly become elite disciples of the Holy Land. The rest will be ordinary disciples!" The elder in charge of the exam said.
Immediately, everyone's eyes turned to the ten people. They were the outstanding performers who had been singled out during the previous tests.
Ji Duan was filled with envy. As everyone knew, the Holy Land's disciples were divided into ordinary disciples, elite disciples, core disciples, and true disciples.
The higher their status and position, the better the cultivation resources they obtained!
Naturally, their growth speed would be faster as well!
Before they could even reach the Holy Land's attendants for registration, commotion broke out in the crowd.
A figure in white robes emerged from the Holy Land's gate, standing with his hands behind his back, walking through the air!
As soon as he appeared, he attracted everyone's attention!
"Hiss... Who is that?!" Someone exclaimed in shock!
"How can there be such a handsome man? How can there be such a man in the world?"
"Such a noble aura. Could he be a young master from some Imperial Clan?"
"What kind of existence is this?! A Saint?"
...
Countless people exclaimed, awestruck!
Many who had lived for countless years had never seen such a stunning individual!
More than ten Holy Land attendants hurriedly bowed and greeted, "Greetings to True Disciple Chu!"
Even the elder in charge of the exam nodded to him in acknowledgement.
"What? True Disciple!"
"He's actually a true disciple of the Great Luo Holy Land!"
"No, no, no. I've seen true disciples from other Holy Lands, even Holy Sons, but their aura is far inferior to this True Disciple Chu!"
...
The status of a True Disciple was truly too high.
The ancestors of the factions present couldn't compare to the status of a True Disciple of the Holy Land!
"True Disciple!" Ji Duan clenched his fists, his eyes filled with fervent desire and jealousy.
"Such a handsome man!" Luo Li was stunned.
He was truly the most handsome man she had ever seen, without a doubt.
At that moment, the man's gaze fell upon her. Her face involuntarily flushed red, and her heartbeat quickened.
"He should be your senior brother! Let's not talk about anything else, but in terms of looks and aura, he's absolutely perfect! Tsk tsk, your master is already stunning, and now even your senior brother is so stunning! It's truly enviable. Fortunately, I'm not a person." The Sword Spirit's voice rang out.
"Ah?" Luo Li's mouth opened slightly. This was her senior brother?
