This was a huge Xuan boat, with very luxurious and spacious interior.
Compared to the airplanes of his previous life, Xuan boats had more space and were faster.
For this huge and unfamiliar thing, Yang Mingchen was still very curious.
The flying power of the Xuan boat came from spirit stones, and as long as there were enough spirit stones, it could fly continuously.
Yang Mingchen and Han Ruoxue got on the Xuan boat and found a quiet corner by the window to sit down.
Not long after, the Xuan boat started moving.
Looking down at the endless land below, Yang Mingchen felt a sense of grandeur rising within him. There were still too many unknown wonders in this world for him to explore.
"Yang Mingchen, you've hidden yourself too deep. Your strength is so strong, yet you pretended to be a spoiled brat who just wants to eat and do nothing," said Han Ruoxue angrily.
"Hmm... I was being modest. You know what modesty means, right?" Yang Mingchen coughed and said. He couldn't tell Han Ruoxue that he was a time traveler, could he?
"So, was it true that you liked me before?" Han Ruoxue blinked her eyes and looked at Yang Mingchen seriously.
"It was all an act. You shouldn't take it seriously," Yang Mingchen smiled helplessly and said.
Although Han Ruoxue was very pretty, she wasn't the type he liked. "I don't believe it. You stole over 100,000 gold coins from Uncle Yang to buy me the Spiritual Beauty Sword, and you were hung for a day by him!" complained Han Ruoxue.
Yang Chenming smiled but didn't reply. He didn't want to continue this topic.
At this moment, the Celestial Boat came to a stop, and then several young men came up.
Flying and stopping along the way, several hundred more young men and women from nearby cities joined the group one by one.
These newcomers all had an arrogant air about them, and they were all the most talented young people from nearby cities, with cultivation levels of at least the first layer of the second realm.
Under the warning of Dongfang Jie, everyone was very quiet on the journey, and no one dared to make a lot of noise.
In a few days, the Celestial Boat entered a mysterious mountain range.
Soon, the Celestial Boat came to a stop in front of a magnificent and slightly ancient and worn-looking mountain gate.
The scenery here was beautiful, with mountains piled upon mountains, lush with spiritual energy, and it could definitely be considered a paradise on earth.
This was the entrance to the Tianyuan Palace.
At this time, in the square in front of the Tianyuan Palace's entrance, there were dozens of Celestial Boats, and from these boats, over 10,000 young men and women came down one by one.
These young people were the youth elites from various cities in the North Xuan Domain.
"You can all wait here. Later, an outer-gate elder will come to host the examination," Lingyan Cloud advised one thing and then floated away.
The Tianyuan Palace is located in the mountains, consisting of countless peaks. Here, cloud layers are piled up, spiritual energy is abundant, and the scenery is pleasant, resembling a paradise on earth.
However, to occupy such a huge mountain range and establish a foundation here, and to recruit disciples from all over the world, the Tianyuan Palace has an incomparable wealth of resources that ordinary people cannot imagine.
At this moment, the entrance square of the Tianyuan Palace is crowded with people. The crowd is so dense that Yang Wansha estimates that there are at least tens of thousands of people.
These tens of thousands of people are the young talents from thousands of cities in the Southern State.
As a superpower, the Tianyuan Palace will always attract countless young talents to participate in the examination when it recruits new disciples.
Of course, the conditions for recruiting people in the Tianyuan Palace are still very strict.
First of all, the age must be under 18, and the martial arts talent must be above grade 4.
Secondly, they must pass the examination of the Tower of Examination.
Soon, Yang Wansha reported his name at the registration counter, and then he had to queue up to have his age and talent tested.
The Tianyuan Palace has a wonderful stone called the "Sky Test Stone". By placing your hand on it and inputting spiritual energy, you can accurately determine your age and talent level.
As the test began, most people were qualified, of course, there were also a small number of unqualified people, either because of their age being too old or because of their talent being insufficient. "While the qualified ones proceed to the second round area to wait for the next trial of the Heavy Tower,"
"Chen Baichuan, 15 years old, talent grade 5, strength level 2nd realm 1st layer,"
"Zhang Wujie, 19 years old, unqualified,"
"Han Ruoxue, 15 years old, talent grade 5, strength level 2nd realm 1st layer,"
The testing continued until the afternoon, and now it was finally Yuan Lichens turn. He looked at the Test Stone before him, and felt a little nervous. He didn't know what his talent was.
Yuan Licheng tentatively input a trace of qi into the Test Stone. Immediately, the Test Stone lit up with a beam of light.
A group of onlookers nearby let out a burst of laughter, "A first-grade talent also dares to come to the Tianyuan Palace! Go home and farm!"
Yuan Licheng ignored the laughter of the onlookers and input more qi into the Test Stone.
Suddenly, the Test Stone lit up with the second, third,... eighth beam of light.
When the Test Stone lit up with eight beams of light, Yuan Licheng quickly withdrew his qi. An eighth-grade talent was enough, he didn't want to be too high-profile.
"Yuan Licheng, age 15, strength level 2nd realm 1st layer, talent grade 8."
"Ah!"
The people who had mocked Yuan Licheng earlier now let out expressions of shock and admiration.
An eighth-grade talent was definitely a one-in-a-million existence. In theory, the higher the talent, the higher the potential for future achievements. Of course, the cultivation world never lacks talented prodigies, because without growth, talent means nothing.
After all, the mortality rate in the cultivation world is very high, out of 1,000 talented individuals, only one can become proficient at best.
For Yang Mingchen's talent, the Tianyuan Palace paid close attention and immediately registered him in the official records.
The first round of age and talent tests was soon over. More than 20,000 people took the test, but only over 10,000 passed.
"The first round is over. Everyone, please rest here and properly rest. The second round of climbing Tiantian Peak will start tomorrow morning," a Tianyuan Palace elder said.
Tiantian Peak is a mountain for testing one's willpower. Only the top 2,000 people who successfully climb to the top can join the Tianyuan Palace.
Yang Mingchen found a clean place and sat in a lotus position. After a day of learning, he had a preliminary understanding of the Tianyuan Palace.
There were 100,000 Tianyuan Palace disciples, with 5,000 core disciples, 20,000 inner disciples, and the rest being outer disciples.
Of course, the most respected disciple in the Tianyuan Palace was the Four Holy Princes. It was rumored that the power of the Holy Princes was even greater than that of many elders.
New disciples were usually outer disciples, and outer disciples were the lowest-ranking existence in the Tianyuan Palace. They had to complete certain tasks every month to earn contribution points. At the Tianyuan Palace, the universal currency is contribution points and spirit stones. Spirit stones can be used for cultivation, while contribution points can be used to exchange martial arts and skills, as well as various resources and herbs.
Outer disciples must complete at least one task per month to receive a reward of one spirit stone.
The treatment of inner disciples is much higher and their status in the sect is higher. They not only get independent courtyards but also receive a considerable amount of spirit stone rewards every month.
A whole night passed quickly, and the next morning, all the young people who passed the first round stood in the square outside the mountain gate, full of energy, waiting for the arrival of the elders of the Tianyuan Palace.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in the outer disciple's robe of the Tianyuan Palace walked out.
