Standing on the golden pathway, Xiao Yun was filled with astonishment. It reminded him of the conveyor belts he used at the airport. As long as a person stood on it without moving, they would be automatically transported forward at a very high speed.
Before long, the two of them entered the depths of the Chaotic Holy Land.
Standing on the golden pathway, Xiao Yun could clearly see numerous celestial caves and exquisite palaces on both sides. Many powerful figures were respectfully bowing towards him and the Holy Lord.
"This feeling is damn amazing!" Xiao Yun couldn't help but feel excited. He had thought that after joining the Chaotic Holy Land, he would have to start from the bottom. However, he unexpectedly became a Godchild in an instant, with a status equal to that of the Holy Lord. It was simply incredible.
"Godchild!" The Holy Lord suddenly spoke, "Next, we will proceed to the Chaotic Hall. Many senior elders and petrified beings are waiting there. They all want to take you as their disciple, but the final choice will be up to you. We won't force you."
"Understood!" Xiao Yun nodded, but he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are the senior elders and petrified beings powerful? How do they compare to the Supreme Elders?"
"Hehe!" The Holy Lord smiled and explained, knowing that Xiao Yun was still just an ordinary person with limited knowledge. "The Supreme Elders are only in the Transcendent Realm, inferior to even me. As for the senior elders, the worst among them are Saints. As for the petrified beings, they are even more terrifying. They are powerful figures from the previous era who have already reached the Grand Saint realm, and some have even become quasi-emperors."
At this point, the two of them had arrived at the entrance of the Chaotic Hall.
An ancient voice suddenly came from within the hall, "Holy Lord is joking. We immortals who refuse to die are nothing more than a group of failures on the path to becoming emperors."
Hearing the words of the Holy Lord, Xiao Yun was greatly shocked. He didn't expect that all the powerful beings here were Saints. Although they self-deprecatingly referred to themselves as failures on the path to becoming emperors, anyone who could contend with the Great Emperor, even if they were failures, possessed unimaginable strength.
With an excited heart, Xiao Yun followed the Holy Lord into the Chaotic Hall.
Immediately, all eyes turned towards Xiao Yun.
The Holy Lord respectfully stood to the side. Although he was the Holy Lord of the Chaotic Holy Land, here he was just a junior and had no say.
Xiao Yun curiously looked at the figures on both sides of the hall. The vague silhouettes made it impossible to see their true appearance.
"I wonder who is stronger!" Xiao Yun secretly speculated. Since he was going to choose a master, he naturally wanted to choose the strongest one.
Setting aside the fact that a person with great strength would definitely have formidable cultivation techniques, having such a powerful backer would allow him to walk sideways in the future.
"It's strange. The Godchild seems quite ordinary. He doesn't possess any special physique and doesn't seem like a reincarnation of some great being."
"His physical body is ordinary, and his soul is slightly stronger than an average person. It seems that he's even inferior to some outer disciples."
"The Chaotic Bell wouldn't make a mistake. It should be that our strength is insufficient to see through the Godchild. After all, in the history of our Chaotic Holy Land, only the Chaotic Body was able to make the Chaotic Bell ring nine times."
While Xiao Yun was observing these experts, they were also observing him.
All of these individuals were Saints, and each of them had already activated their Saint's Eyes. In their gazes, Xiao Yun appeared as if he were naked, with even the cells within his body clearly visible.
However, no matter how powerful they were, they couldn't see the "Enlightenment System" within Xiao Yun.
Therefore, in their eyes, Xiao Yun appeared ordinary, without any talent. If he hadn't rung the Chaotic Bell, he wouldn't have qualified to join the Chaotic Holy Land.
The experts in the hall discussed for a while, and finally, a Thunder Ancestor stepped forward and looked at Xiao Yun, saying, "Once my 'Lightning God Art' reaches the peak state, I can summon heavenly tribulations to strike down enemies with boundless power. Godchild, are you willing to be my disciple?"
As soon as the Thunder Ancestor finished speaking, another person stepped forward, "I am the Undying Ancestor. Once my 'Immortal Demon Technique' reaches completion, my physical body will become undying and immortal."
"I am the Blade Ancestor. By cultivating my 'Dominating Blade Art,' I can sweep away all opposition."
"I am the Fist Ancestor. By cultivating my 'Divine Dragon Fist,' I can transform into a divine dragon and roam the Boundless Void."
...
In the hall, one expert after another introduced themselves, hoping to take Xiao Yun as their disciple.
However, the petrified beings remained silent because they couldn't see anything extraordinary about Xiao Yun.
Therefore, these petrified beings were cautious. Their lifespan was limited, and they usually slept inside coffins, with little time to come out and teach disciples. So, once they chose a disciple with poor talent, it would be a waste of their lives.
Hence, the petrified beings remained calm and wouldn't accept disciples until they saw something exceptional in Xiao Yun.
"All of these people sound powerful. Who should I choose as my master?" At this moment, Xiao Yun was hesitant and couldn't decide whom to choose as his master.
After all, all these individuals were incredibly powerful, and it was difficult to determine who was stronger.
The Holy Lord of the Chaotic Holy Land stood by, his expression calm. However, suddenly, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He then walked forward and said to the experts in the hall, "Senior Ancestors, petrified beings, Supreme Elder Emperor Tian requests an audience!"
"Emperor Tian? Is he not dead yet?"
"What is a mere Transcendent doing here? Does he also want to take the Godchild as his disciple?"
"Let him in first."
....
The people in the hall discussed for a moment and then allowed Emperor Tian, the Supreme Elder, to enter.
Soon, an elderly white-haired man walked in. He appeared truly aged, trembling as he walked, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.
Xiao Yun looked at the old man with surprise. Was this the Supreme Elder? He seemed younger than those Senior Ancestors and petrified beings, but he looked as if he were about to die.
At that moment, Emperor Tian, the Supreme Elder, bowed to the Senior Ancestors and petrified beings and then smiled as he looked at Xiao Yun. He said, "Godchild, although my cultivation is mediocre, I have cultivated the 'Chaotic Scripture,' which is the supreme scripture of our Chaotic Holy Land. Once it reaches perfection, it can forge the number one divine body in the heavens and myriad realms—the Chaotic Body. At that time, ascending to the position of Emperor and attaining the Dao will be within reach."
Xiao Yun's eyes brightened upon hearing this.
The Chaotic Body... Even if he were ignorant, he knew that such a physique was invincible. Once cultivated, it would undoubtedly enable him to reach the pinnacle and potentially become an Emperor.
Moreover, Xiao Yun was aware of his own mediocre talent. Without cultivating a powerful physique, he feared that he would never become a formidable expert.
But with the Chaotic Body, everything could be resolved.
