C934 Core Disciple
Ninety percent of the 1000 cultivators heard, and some smiled in Myanmar. Two of them looked troubled, especially when the cultivators were serious. Some of them were the geniuses ranked on the Genius Ranking of this year, but they did not expect that they would not have the time to show their skills yet. Now, they had fallen to such a ranking.
Outside the central disciple selection area, those cultivators saw that some of the geniuses on the Genius Ranking had also fallen to the ground. Immediately, the sounds of mirror lakes were continuously emitted from the decoration of these outer regions.
"Look, you should be Zhou Gui. This is an existence ranked in the top eighty of the genius rankings. It is unexpected that he is also stuck in the second round of selection."
"What does Zhou Gui count as? Look over there, that's Wang Dajian, ranked forty-ninth. He's also eliminated."
"Hehe. As for the others, many of those ranked in the top 40 of the Genius Ranking have been eliminated."
"Looks like our East Taitian is really full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. I never thought that there would be so many dark horses appearing on the genius rankings."
"That's not true. Even though Ling Yun and Ling Jian previously ranked third, the other one has yet to enter the rankings. However, that kind of achievement is definitely enough to take first place."
"That's right. However, I feel that this time, the core disciple selection of Ling Yun and Ling Jian is a powerful competition that would allow them to enter the top three."
...
Outside the central region's disciple selection, many cultivators began to discuss among themselves. Secondly, at this moment, Sun Wuji's gaze quickly swept across the less than one hundred disciples in his current life.
"Eh?" However, at this moment, he couldn't help but frown.
"Why is there a mysterious creature here? Can anyone tell me what's going on?" Sun Wuji looked at Six Demons and suddenly asked.
With his Sage realm cultivation, he could naturally tell that Six Demons was not a ferocious beast, but a mysterious organism.
Previously, because there were more than 1,000 people, he did not pay much attention to them. But now, as he swept his gaze over them, he instantly noticed the existence of Six Demons.
At this moment, the Six Devils were also standing beside Ling Jian. After hearing Sun Wuji's words, they also turned to look at Sun Wuji.
At the same time, Ling Jian's gaze followed the Six Devils and looked at Sun Wuji. Dan Dan said, "This mysterious creature is mine."
"Hmph, don't tell me you don't know that the Taixu Palace is recruiting disciples? They can only rely on their own strength? And they actually brought such a powerful helper here? " Sun Wuji looked at Ling Jian and spoke in a deep voice. At the same time, his face had a dignified expression. Obviously, he could also tell Ling Jian's cultivation level at a glance. He was only at the early stage of the Heavenly Source Realm. The strength of Six Devils had already reached the late stage of the Heavenly Execution Realm.
If Ling Jian relied on his own strength and walked all the way under his pressure, he would definitely be shocked.
However, in Sun Wuji's opinion, the reason why Ling Jian was able to stay hidden until now was related to the mysterious creature beside him.
"You didn't mention before that during the disciple selection, mysterious creatures are not allowed to be brought along." Ling Jian spoke again. His expression was rather indifferent, and there was not a trace of fear or worry on his face.
However, when the Tantai Emperor, who was beside Sun Wuji, saw Ling Jian's attitude, his heart skipped a beat. He was afraid that there would be a conflict between Ling Jian and Sun Wuji.
"How dare you! You dare to question our elder? Are you tired of living?" At this moment, the voice of one of the foundation members of the Supreme Void Palace sounded extremely cold.
However, Ling Jian's gaze still fell on the elder of the Supreme Void Palace. It was as if he did not put the other party in his eyes at all.
When the foundation of the Great Void Palace saw that Ling Jian was actually ignoring him, he also did not expect such a situation to occur. After all, they had never encountered such a situation in the past.
Instantly, the fury in his heart rose.
"B * stard!"
The disciple from the Great Void Palace immediately let out a furious curse. Immediately, he suddenly slapped furiously at Ling Jian. Instantly, the surrounding Spiritual Qi turned into an incomparably huge palm. It enveloped Zhou Shen, who was facing Ling Jian.
The power of the palm burst out in an instant, causing the surrounding cultivators to feel like sh * tting.
Especially the cultivators in the central region. It could be said that they were already very impressive to be able to hold on until now. It was not surprising to say that they were the most powerful group of the young generation in the entire East Taitian.
However, even so, an indescribable feeling of resistance was formed after they faced the palm force that the disciples of the Great Void Palace had unleashed earlier.
Although this was because the cultivation of this cultivator was much higher than theirs, they had to admit that the foundation of the Great Void Palace was indeed terrifyingly powerful.
After all, the cultivation of the Heavenly Execution Realm was merely at the quasi-Heavenly Execution Realm even among the top few of them. There were still some obvious differences between them and this realm.
They had encountered Heavenly Execution cultivators before, but they felt an extreme sense of danger due to their strength.
"Such a powerful pressure!"
"Although it's only a part of the power, it's still quite terrifying."
"I'm afraid that even if he suppresses his cultivation at the late-stage Heaven Origin Realm, I'm still no match for him. Who would have thought that the foundation of the Taixu Palace would be so powerful?"
Regardless of whether it was Qin Wuyou, Chen Xuandong, or Wu Wuhao who was ranked fourth, all of them had the same thought in their hearts. They watched as the palm of the disciple from the Supreme Void Palace was about to land on Ling Jian's body.
However, it was also at this moment that Ling Jian's palm suddenly stretched out. It was as though he was swatting a fly as he ruthlessly swatted at the incoming palm. Although it seemed like there was no Spiritual Energy coming out, following the descent of the palm... The palm print was indeed hit by this casual force. In an instant, it broke into two pieces, and at the same time, the excess energy returned to heaven and earth.
This scene was also seen by the other foundations of the Great Void Palace. When they sensed this scene, all the foundations of the Great Void Palace could not help but ruthlessly step aside. Clearly, they were directly shocked by Ling Jian's tentacles.
One should know that Ling Jian's cultivation was only at the initial-stage of the Heavenly Source Realm. However, they didn't expect him to be able to withstand the attack of a Heavenly Execution Realm cultivator.
Although the tentacle's foundation might have suppressed its strength to the Heavenly Source Realm, it was still not something an early stage Heavenly Source Realm cultivator could easily deal with.
"Not bad, this is interesting. It seems like I will believe it this time. He must have relied on his own strength to withstand two rounds of screening."
After seeing this scene, Sun Wuji's originally expressionless face also had an extra meter of smile.
He looked at Ling Jian and his favorable impression of him came. He directly asked, "What's your name?"
"Ling Jian." Ling Jian Dan said. Even when facing the elders of the Supreme Void Palace, he still showed neither servile nor overbearing attitude. His attitude was incomparably indifferent.
"You are Ling Jian?" Hearing this, Sun Wuji's expression also changed abruptly. Even the tone of his voice became extremely sharp.
Beside him, when the foundations of the Great Void Palace heard this, their expressions also changed.
When they first entered Tongxuan City, they had heard the name of Ling Jian from Sun Wuji. They did not expect to meet him here so soon.
"No wonder she has the size of the saintess. It turns out that her strength is not ordinary." Sun Wuji thought in his heart.
Putting other things aside, the fact that Ling Jian was able to resist a single tentacle from the disciples of the Great Void Palace proved that there were too many things that could swim.
After all, Ling Jian's current cultivation had not even stepped into the late stage of the Heavenly Source Realm. He was only at the early stage of the Heavenly Source Realm, yet he already possessed such terrifying strength.
In the future, if his cultivation stepped into the Heavenly Execution Realm, it was likely that the foundation of the Supreme Void Palace's attack would be instantly slaughtered by him in the future.
This wasn't an alarmist. Twenty-one extremely terrifying facts.
"Unfortunately, this strength is indeed not bad. However... His cultivation is too low. I wonder if those few Quasi-Heavenly Execution Realm fellows are stronger than him. Otherwise, he might even become the number one person in this disciple selection. " Sun Wuji thought in his heart.
Every time the Supreme Void Palace waved their hands, there would be a huge number of them.
However, in this huge number, those who could enter the Taixu Palace in the future were indeed very few. Most of the cultivators were unknown after entering the Taixu Palace.
Secondly, it was not impossible to become truly powerful. It was to win the first place in the disciple selection. If that was the case, it would attract more attention. Their colleagues would also develop more in the future.
After all, according to past practices, the winners of the foundation selection in the past had all developed very well after entering the Taixu Palace.
Er Ling Jian had already displayed quite a bit of strength just now, but due to the fate of his realm, he did not have full assurance that Ling Jian would be able to live up to the first place in this disciple selection.
"Alright, if that's the case, then this round of the examination shall continue." After calming down the emotions in his heart, Sun Wuji, Chen Sheng, said.
His gaze also instantly retracted from Ling Jian's body. Then, he looked at the ground below. Suddenly, a bright light flashed across his eyes.
"Open!"
Sun Wuji suddenly shouted loudly. At the same time, his palm suddenly stretched out. It was as if a giant palm had suddenly grabbed the bottom of the ground. Then, he fiercely lifted it up into the sky.
Secondly, following Sun Wuji's method, the originally calm and quiet bottom suddenly became chaotic at this moment. After which, the high and low vibration frequency continuously sounded.
After which, many pairs of eyes were shocked to see that on the ground... There were ten protrusions on the ground, and every single one of them... A huge stone pillar had appeared at every spot. It looked like a pillar that supported the heavens. It extended upwards.
"These ten heavenly pillars will be the third round of the examination"
Sun Wuji pointed at the ten Sky Supporting Pillars and said in a deep voice. "In the next 15 minutes, you can challenge each other. No matter who you are against, you can challenge each other. However, the prerequisite is that you can't have any deaths between you. In 15 minutes, if any of you can still appear on the ten Sky Supporting Pillars... You will be the final winner. Similarly, you will be the ten core disciples that the Taixu Palace will be recruiting this time."
" So, next, the third round of the examination. Begin! "
Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!
Almost at the same time as Sun Wuji's words, many of the cultivators present, who were less than a hundred in their current lives, charged toward the Sky Supporting Pillar.
However, the number of figures that rushed out was obviously greater than the number of people on the Sky Supporting Pillar. Therefore, in almost an instant, before the cultivators actually reached the Sky Supporting Pillar, the first collision had already erupted.
However, even so, the figures and auras of these cultivators could still be seen. It could be seen that they were fighting. However... In comparison, their strength was not high. Instead, it was those powerful existences. They still didn't move at all. They didn't seem to be in such a hurry to attack.
At this moment, Ling Jian, Ling Yun, as well as the number one and number two, Xin Wuyou, Chen Xuan Dong, and Wu Hao, these people who had such a resounding reputation on the genius rankings, didn't move at all.
However, Tantai Aotian also didn't choose to charge out. He was standing not far from Ling Jian, looking at the battle above. His eyes were filled with shock.
Obviously. Although these battles didn't seem like the battles between the strongest cultivators, to him, they were already considered quite powerful.
However, at this moment, he was not nervous at all. If one were to look closely at his face, one would discover that he was still wearing a smile.
Yes, a smile.
Because during the second round of the examination earlier, when he was almost unable to hold on any longer, Ling Jian still chose to help him in the end, giving him a chance to appear here.
Now, even if he could not become a core disciple, he was at least an elite disciple. At the very least, compared to ordinary disciples, he was clearly much stronger.
To him, it could be considered that he was satisfied.
"These people are quite strong." Tantai You's gaze landed on the cultivators who were fighting above and he spoke in a low voice.
"There's no need to be afraid. Later, I will have the Six Devil Generals suppress their cultivation bases, and then he will appear before you. You'll definitely have a place in the top ten core disciples. " Ling Jian smiled at Tantai You and gestured for him to not be nervous.
Previously, he had left Six Demons by his side because he had such plans.
Now that the Six Demons had entered the late stage of the Heavenly Execution Realm, there was no pressure at all in this kind of test. Even if they suppressed their cultivation, there would not be much danger.
Of course, the reason why he did that was because other than his cultivation, Tantai You also had another reason. Even though he had entered the top ten by cheating, he was still a Sage Grade Array Master. At that time, Sun Wuji would not say anything.
Otherwise, he would not dare to let the Six Demons cheat and help Tantai You.
Fifteen minutes was extremely short for ordinary people. Furthermore, for cultivators, half of the time had passed.
At that moment, most of the cultivators had already landed on the pillars. However, after a battle, the auras of these cultivators were clearly weaker.
"Master, can we touch them now?"
At this moment, Ling Yun's voice rang out as well. His gaze casually swept across the ten Sky Supporting Pillars above him. Previously, they had never chosen to make a move. It was obvious that they were waiting for this moment to appear.
"Go. Remember, you must know your limits when making a move. You must not kill them."
Ling Jian looked at Ling Yun and instructed him.
Right now, all ten of the Heavenly Pillars were the foundation of the Taixu Palace. If they were killed here, even though it wouldn't be a big problem, there would still be some trouble.
"Master, don't worry. My tentacles will naturally leave some leeway."
Ling Yun hurriedly nodded his head. Immediately, his figure leaped and charged towards the top of a stone pillar.
At this moment, on the Sky Supporting Pillar that Ling Yun was rushing towards, a cultivator whose cultivation had already reached the Heavenly Source Late Stage was sitting cross-legged there. This person's name was Yang Wuhen, and he was ranked eleventh on this year's Genius Ranking.
"Do you want to get out of here by yourself, or do you want me to help you?" Ling Yun appeared on the Sky Supporting Pillar and stood at the edge. His gaze swept across Yang Wuhen as he spoke in a deep voice.
"Ling Yun?" After Ling Yun appeared, the expression of the cultivator named Yang Wuhen turned extremely ugly.
Even though he had never really fought with Yu Lingyun before, he could tell that Ling Yun's strength was definitely extraordinary just from the fact that he was able to fight a few hundred Wu Wuhao. He was definitely the strongest among the less than a hundred people.
"Hmph, Ling Yun, don't go too far!"
However, even though he was thinking about Ling Yun's strength in Beijing Television, however... Yang Wuhen did not intend to sit still and wait for his death. At the same time, , his body was instantly filled with a terrifying aura. It was obvious that he had entered a state of battle. He was planning to fight Ling Yun directly.
"Looks like you don't really know how to listen to me. You want me to help you, right?"
Ling Yun spoke coldly. Almost as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ling Yun's figure suddenly dash out like a cannonball. His fist instantly blasted out like a sandbag. His aura was shocking.
However, Yang Wuhen was ranked eleventh on the Genius rankings. He was only a small distance away from the top ten, so he naturally wouldn't panic because of this. Seeing this, his expression didn't change. As he stood where he was, he also threw a circle at Ling Yun's fist that was bombarding him.
Boom! Boom!
In an instant, the two powerful cultivators collided. In an instant, there was a huge explosion between the heavens and the earth.
At this moment, Yang Wuhen felt as if Ling Yun's body contained an endless amount of power. In just an instant, his figure was sent flying by the power that erupted from Ling Yun's body.
At the same time, his fist drooped down powerlessly. His body fell heavily to the ground under the fierce collision.
The surrounding cultivators were still fighting against each other. However, as the two of them collided, they stopped what they were doing and looked over.
Seeing Yang Wuhen's miserable condition, the cultivators' eyes were filled with deep shock.
"He's too strong!"
At this moment, these cultivators had the same thought at the first moment. When they looked at Ling Yun, their eyes were filled with deep fear.
Even though Ling Yun was standing at the top of the Sky Supporting Pillar and did not release any aura, they no longer had any thoughts of fighting over it.
"Not bad, not bad. I didn't expect it to be just physical strength. It's already so powerful." Elder Sun could not help but nod his head after seeing this. That was because Ling Yun's previous attack was merely the power of his physical body. However, he didn't expect it to be so powerful.
This kind of physical strength might not be considered much to a cultivator like her. However, it was undoubtedly the most powerful existence in the Heavenly Source Realm.
"Who is this person?" Elder Sun asked.
Tantai Xiandi smiled. "His name is Ling Yun."
"Oh? He's Ling Yun." Hearing this, Elder Sun's gaze changed again, and a trace of shock appeared on his face.
Even though the Holy Maiden didn't tell him to pay attention to Ling Yun, she told him to pay attention to the person beside Ling Jian. He had also heard of Ling Yun a long time ago, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him was Ling Yun.
Previously, when he faced Ling Jian, he was also deeply shocked by Ling Jian's display of strength.
Now, after seeing Ling Yun's attack, even though that kind of strength wasn't as shocking as Ling Jian's, it still made him feel extremely incredulous.
No wonder he had to pay attention to the people around Ling Jian. No wonder, even Ling Yun was so powerful. It could be imagined that Ling Jian definitely wasn't simple.
After all, when he was inquiring about Ling Yun, he also knew about the relationship between Ling Jian and him. That was why he felt that Ling Jian wasn't simple.
After all, if the people who followed him were not simple, they would definitely not be simple themselves.
"Elder Sun, could it be that you have heard of Ling Yun before?" The eyes of the Tantai Emperor flickered. He could naturally hear the change in Elder Sun's tone. However, this only made him even more alarmed.
"That's not it. It's just that before I came to Tongxuan City... Someone from the sect asked me to pay attention to Ling Jian, and I happened to make some preparations beforehand. I paid attention to the people related to him. Speaking of which, this Ling Yun actually came into contact with him in advance. " Elder Sun did not hide anything and directly admitted to this matter.
However, he didn't choose to tell her about the matter of the Saint Lady.
"So that's how it is." The Tantai Emperor nodded upon hearing this. Although he appeared extremely calm on the surface, in reality... His heart was already filled with shock.
He had also not expected Ling Jian to attract the attention of the upper echelons of the Taixu Palace.
One had to know that Elder Sun was also someone who had passed the Six Dao Tribulation. Even in the entire Taixu Palace, his status was definitely not low.
And now, Elder Sun said that someone in the sect had mentioned Ling Jian to him.
It was very obvious that that person's status was probably higher than Sun Wuji's. He was probably much stronger as well.
...
"Qin Wuyou, how is it? Is Ling Yun very strong?" On the other side, Ling Yun attacked. Qin Wuyou and Chen Xuandong's attention was also drawn over.
"You're right, Ling Yun is indeed very strong." Qin Wuyou did not deny it. Instead, he directly admitted Ling Yun's strength. However, he continued, "Although he is powerful, there is one thing that cannot be summarized. If it was a battle. I am confident that I will be able to win. "
After saying this sentence, an arrogant expression appeared on Qin Wuyou's face.
"Qin Wuyou, don't exaggerate. I feel that you might not be a match for Ling Yun in a battle." Not far away, Wu Wuhao also spoke after hearing Qin Wuyou's words.
"Wu Wuhao, what did you say?" Beside him, after hearing Wu Wuhao's words, Qin Wuyou's expression could not help but sink slightly.
"Qin Wuyou, I have no other intentions. What I want to say is that Ling Yun's strength is not as simple as you think." Wu Wuhao said.
"Haha, you lost to Ling Yun yourself because your own strength is not enough." Qin Wuyou sneered, "Do you think I'm the same as you? What right do you have to be on par with me if you lose to a Heavenly Source Late Stage cultivator?"
"You!" After hearing Qin Wuyou's shameless words, Wu Wuhao snorted coldly and said, "I've already said what I should say. As for what you're going to do next, it's your own business."
After he finished speaking, Wu Wuhao no longer paid attention to Qin Wuyou. With a flash, he soared into the sky and flew towards the top of a heavenly pillar.
Qin Wuyou snorted coldly but did not say anything. At the same time, his figure also soared into the sky and landed on the top of another heavenly pillar.
As for Chen Xuandong, although he was the last one to act, he also very quickly fell towards the position of a Sky Supporting Pillar.
Most of the cultivators on the pillar were at the late stage of the Heavenly Source Realm. Even if some of them were at the quasi-Heavenly Execution Realm, they were still no match for Qin Wuyou and the other two.
Therefore, three cultivators on the pillar were quickly defeated by them and could only be eliminated from the pillar.
While the three of them were moving, Ling Jian and Tantai You also landed on top of a Sky Supporting Pillar. Ling Jian also casually slapped one of the cultivators.
As for Tantai You, although he wasn't very powerful, however, because he was a Sage Array Formation Master and had the assistance of the Six Demons... Thus, he quickly defeated his opponent and occupied the position of the Sky Supporting Pillar.
Very quickly, fifteen minutes had truly ended.
At this moment, on top of the ten Sky Supporting Pillars, there were four other people besides Ling Jian, Ling Yun, Tantai You, Chen Xuandong, and Wu Wuhao.
Among these four people, three of them were ranked in the top ten of the genius rankings. Only one of them was not a cultivator on the Genius Ranking and was unknown. He could be considered the biggest dark horse in the selection of each other's disciples.0
Almost at the moment when the fifteen minutes had just ended, Elder Sun Wuji directly announced the end of the third round of selection.
Similarly, the cultivators who did not appear on the Sky Supporting Pillar also revealed looks of disappointment at this moment.
After all, the top ten and the top hundred were two completely different concepts.
Just like before, the top hundred and the top one thousand were completely different. In fact, the difference between the former and the latter was even greater and could not be surpassed.
After all, even though the top one hundred sounded pretty good, however, in reality... This was too general. Within the top 100... Only the top 10 could become core disciples. But other than the top 10... The rest could only become elite disciples.
And in the Taixu Palace, the difference between elite and core disciples was also very large.
Whether it was cultivation resources, status, or the importance of the sect, there was a huge difference.
Compared to the cultivators who did not occupy a place in the third round of selection, the cultivators on the ten Sky Supporting Pillars were relatively calm.
That was why such a situation occurred. On one hand, it was because he was confident in his own strength. On the other hand, it was because of the fact.
Of course, amongst the ten people, only Tantai You was an exception. Amongst the ten of them, Tantai You was the happiest. After all, she wasn't very strong. Even though she was a Sage level array master, it didn't give her much of an advantage. If it wasn't for the existence of the Six Demons, she definitely wouldn't have been able to obtain one of the spots.
After all, array masters usually needed to be deployed. Under such circumstances, she naturally wouldn't have too much time to deploy out of thin air. In addition, array masters were more adept at group battles. Thus, under such circumstances... Even if he wanted to end the battle as soon as possible, it was absolutely impossible.
And now, she had already occupied a place in the top ten. This was naturally a great surprise to her, and even more so. Before he participated, this sort of outcome was absolutely not something he had expected.
"That's right." Tantai You smiled when he saw that Tantai You had gained a place in the palace. To him, Tantai You becoming a core disciple of the Taixu Palace was definitely a surprise.
Although Tantai You was not strong enough to enter the top ten and become a core disciple due to his lack of knowledge in formations, he would still be able to gain a lot of attention in the Supreme Void Palace due to his attainments in formations.
