"Nine Heavens Continent, Chaotic Holy Land.

As the once most powerful holy land, since the Chaotic Emperor ascended to immortality, it has gradually declined.

... Today is the day when the Chaotic Holy Land accepts disciples.

Nearby kingdoms and noble families have sent their talented individuals to come and pay their respects as disciples.

Although the Chaotic Holy Land has declined, it is still one of the top forces in the entire Nine Heavens Continent.

Therefore, people who come to pay their respects and learn are still endless, with crowds of people.

"I finally entered the Chaotic Holy Land. I have finally completed the first task assigned by the system!" Xiao Yun exerted great effort and finally squeezed into the Chaotic Holy Land's gate along with the crowd, entering the spacious square inside the Chaotic Holy Land.

Ignoring the discussions around him, Xiao Yun quickly closed his eyes to check the system inside him.

Enlightenment System.

Function: Grant the host enlightenment.

Enlightenment count: 1 time (can be used at any time by silently reciting it in your mind).

Task: Enter the Chaotic Holy Land (completed), about to refresh the task.

Seeing that the task status had changed to 'completed,' Xiao Yun was instantly filled with excitement, almost shedding tears.

It wasn't easy. He had been in this world for sixteen years, and he finally completed the first task assigned by the system.

It must be said that this task was extremely difficult.

After all, even if the Chaotic Holy Land has declined, it is still a prestigious holy land that cannot be entered casually by ordinary people.

Xiao Yun came from a noble family in a small kingdom, and with the strength of their family, they couldn't send him to the Chaotic Holy Land in advance.

So Xiao Yun waited for sixteen years until he finally waited for the day when the Chaotic Holy Land opened its doors to accept disciples. Only then did he manage to enter and complete the first task assigned by the system.

"Ding, latest task: Join the Chaotic Holy Land, reward three enlightenment opportunities.

"Suddenly, a mechanical voice from the system resounded in Xiao Yun's mind.

Xiao Yun immediately understood that his second task had come, and this time, the reward was even more generous, with three enlightenment opportunities.

You must know that enlightenment is when cultivators accidentally resonate with the Great Dao during their comprehension, entering a profound state.

This chance is very rare, even for geniuses. They might only have the opportunity to enlighten once in their lifetime.

Even those monsters and super geniuses may only have the chance to enlighten two or three times in their lifetime.

From this, it can be seen how rare the opportunity for enlightenment is.

Therefore, even though his system only had this one function, Xiao Yun did not find it inadequate at all.

"Join the Chaotic Holy Land?" Xiao Yun looked at his latest task and couldn't help but smile. "That's good. Since I have come to the Chaotic Holy Land, I naturally want to join the Chaotic Holy Land."

Although the Chaotic Holy Land has declined, even a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. Moreover, the Chaotic Holy Land is still one of the most powerful forces in this world.

Being able to cultivate in the Chaotic Holy Land would undoubtedly give him a better chance of becoming an unparalleled powerhouse.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yun squeezed through the crowd and looked towards the elevated platform in the distance.

On the platform in the square, a kind-looking old man sat cross-legged. He wore a gray robe and had deep and profound eyes, like the universe and starry sky, making it impossible to look directly at him.

On the high platform in the square, there sat an old man with kind eyes and a benevolent expression. He was dressed in a gray robe, and his gaze was incredibly profound, like the vast expanse of the universe, making it impossible for people to meet his eyes directly.

"I am the Elder in charge of guiding you. I am responsible for receiving you for the assessment!" the old man in the gray robe said with a smiling face, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"In this round, I wonder if we will see any exceptional talents or potential geniuses."

"At the very least, it would be good to have a few outstanding prodigies."

The Elder guiding them thought to himself, then continued with a clear voice, "Alright, enough with the chitchat. Our Chaotic Holy Land doesn't adhere to too many strict rules, and the disciple assessment consists of only one stage, which is to strike the Chaos Bell!" As he finished speaking, the guiding Elder flicked his finger, and a tremendous crack immediately appeared in the space in front of him.

Following that, a radiant golden light burst forth, and a majestic gray bell emerged from within the rift, landing on the square.

"Hum..." As the bell descended, it emitted an earth-shattering sound, resonating like the singing of gods and the hymns of angels, causing the souls of everyone present to tremble.

"This is the Chaos Bell, the legendary Divine Weapon of the Great Emperor!" "It is said that long ago, the Great Emperor wielded this bell, conquering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, sweeping across the myriad realms, invincible in all directions."

"Even if all the imperial weapons from the myriad realms were ranked, this bell would easily secure a place in the top three!" ... The square instantly erupted in a flurry of discussions.

Those who were able to participate in the assessment were, at the very least, from noble families of small countries, and each one of them possessed extraordinary knowledge.

Xiao Yun concealed himself amidst the crowd, gazing at the Chaos Bell not far away, his eyes filled with longing.

If he possessed such a treasure, there would be nowhere he couldn't go in the world. Unfortunately, this was an Imperial Weapon, something he currently did not have the qualifications to control.

"Line up in order, one by one, place your palms on the Chaos Bell. As long as you can make the Chaos Bell ring, you will become a disciple of our Chaotic Holy Land."

At this moment, the guiding Elder spoke once again.

Upon hearing this, the crowd began to line up one by one, each person making contact with the Chaos Bell.

However, instead of ringing, the Chaos Bell emitted a golden light, teleporting away anyone who touched it.

The crowd instantly panicked.

The guiding Elder spoke loudly, "Don't panic. The Imperial Weapon possesses a spirit. If you are unable to make the Chaos Bell ring, it will send you back to your homes, saving you the trouble of returning."

After hearing the words of the guiding Elder, the crowd calmed down and continued to make contact with the Chaos Bell one by one.

Xiao Yun secretly rejoiced, thinking to himself, "I didn't expect the Chaos Bell to have this function. Even if I can't pass the assessment, I can still get a free ticket back home. Hehe!" However, Xiao Yun didn't want to be sent back home by the Chaos Bell. He was determined to join the Chaotic Holy Land.

He just didn't know how to make the Chaos Bell ring.

Xiao Yun stared at the young boys and girls in the distance, who were making contact with the Chaos Bell one by one, but after observing for a long time, he couldn't figure out anything.

Because as soon as these people made contact with the Chaos Bell, they closed their eyes and were instantly teleported away by a golden light.

Obviously, all those who were sent away were failures.

In this way, the speed of the test was quite fast.

Time passed bit by bit, and still, no one could make the Chaos Bell ring. Everyone in the square couldn't help but feel worried. "Dang..." After a while, the Chaos Bell finally rang, its resounding chime spreading throughout the entire Chaotic Holy Land.

The crowd was instantly invigorated and looked toward the Chaos Bell in the distance.

They saw a young man standing in front of the Chaos Bell, his face filled with excitement and exhilaration.

On the high platform, the guiding Elder calmly said, "With one ringing of the bell, you barely qualify to become an outer disciple of our Chaotic Holy Land. Outer disciples, where are the stewards? Take him to the outer sect!" "Yes, Elder!" A black-robed man suddenly flew down from the sky and grabbed the young man beside the Chaos Bell, then flew away into the distance.

Upon hearing that this young man only qualified to become an outer disciple, everyone present couldn't help but be stunned.

In their eyes, being able to make the Chaos Bell ring was already quite remarkable.

But to only become an outer disciple, it seemed that the assessment of the Chaotic Holy Land was quite difficult.

Someone asked, "May I ask, Elder, how many times can a person make the Chaos Bell ring at most? And how does the number of bell rings relate to the treatment one receives after joining the Chaotic Holy Land?" This was the key question.

The crowd unanimously looked towards the guiding Elder on the high platform.

The guiding Elder smiled faintly and said, "The Chaos Bell has nine chimes. With one chime, you can become an outer disciple. With two chimes, you can become an inner disciple. With three chimes, you can become a true disciple. With four chimes, you can become an elder disciple. With five chimes, you can become a senior elder disciple. With six chimes, you can become the Son of our Chaotic Holy Land. As for seven, eight, and nine chimes, they have not appeared in many years. Once they do, the person will immediately become the divine child of our Chaotic Holy Land."

Upon hearing the words of the guiding Elder, the people in the square immediately felt a sense of longing.

The assessment continued.

As time passed, there were fewer and fewer people in the square.

What shocked Xiao Yun was that even after testing hundreds of thousands of people, only a few hundred had joined the Chaotic Holy Land. The odds were too low.

Moreover, among these few hundred people, the most chimes anyone had achieved was three.

Xiao Yun clearly noticed that the expression of the guiding Elder on the high platform had become somewhat unpleasant. His kind and benevolent appearance had disappeared, replaced by a gloomy expression.

Obviously, the Elder had not discovered any geniuses, which greatly disappointed him.

"With each passing generation, are we, the Chaotic Holy Land, really going to decline?" The guiding Elder looked at the young boys and girls being tested below and couldn't help but sigh in sorrow.

However, he knew the reason.

Any true genius would exhibit immense talent at an early stage and would have been recruited by the other five major holy lands.

But their Chaotic Holy Land had a strange rule that had been passed down since ancient times.

To join the Chaotic Holy Land, one must absolutely not cultivate any martial arts before the assessment.

Therefore, the young boys and girls who came to participate in the assessment were actually ordinary mortals without any cultivation.

As for those geniuses, they had already embarked on the path of cultivation and had no chance to join the Chaotic Holy Land.

Unfortunately, this was a rule passed down by their ancestors, and no one dared to change it.

"It's finally my turn!" Among the crowd, Xiao Yun looked at the Chaos Bell in front of him, his face filled with anticipation and excitement as he walked towards it.

After waiting for so long, it was finally his turn.

"I wonder if I can make the Chaos Bell chime?" Xiao Yun reached out his palm and touched the ancient bell wall in front of him.

"Boom..." Suddenly, Xiao Yun's mind trembled, and a golden text appeared in his mind, evolving the heavens, earth, and all things, expounding the path of chaos.

At that moment, Xiao Yun instantly understood how to make the Chaos Bell chime.

It turned out that he had to comprehend these golden texts. As long as he grasped the basics, he could make the Chaos Bell chime.

And the more he comprehended, the more chimes the Chaos Bell would produce.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yun was determined and silently said, "System, initiate an enlightenment!"

"Boom!" A roar resounded in his mind, and Xiao Yun's thoughts became increasingly clear. Inspirations floated in his heart, and the golden texts in front of him turned into symbols, entering his eyes.

"It turns out this scripture is called the 'Chaos Invocation.' Once cultivated, it can harness the power of the Chaos Bell. The stronger the cultivation, the greater the power harnessed. If one can reach the realm of a Sage, they can refine this Chaos Bell."

Xiao Yun immersed himself in the profound state of enlightenment and instantly understood the profound meaning of this scripture in front of him.

At the same time, Xiao Yun was unaware that the outside world had already become uproarious due to his test.
