Lin Changsheng sighed and, after some consideration, decided to reveal the matter of the Dao - Yi School Palace.
This matter was of great importance, so Lin Changsheng sealed the surrounding void and only allowed the core members of the sect to enter to prevent eavesdropping by certain forces.
"Do you know the Dao - Yi School Palace?" Lin Changsheng scanned the crowd with a solemn expression.
The elders looked at each other and shook their heads.
Then, Lin Changsheng began to recount the whole story.
Meanwhile, many cultivators from other regions emerged within the territory of Xuanqing Sect, all wanting to trouble Chen Qingyuan and make a name for themselves.
Despite great efforts to investigate, they still couldn't figure out why Chen Qingyuan didn't fight Wu Junyan.
After some thought, they decided to wait for a while.
However, it would be useless even if they waited for two more years, because Chen Qingyuan had already left the Fuliu Star Field.
Chen Qingyuan's body was out of his control. He was taken by the young man in white to a broken void crack and crossed the starry sea with extremely powerful strength. Each step covered countless miles, and his speed was even faster than the large teleportation arrays of many top - tier forces.
Three hours later, Chen Qingyuan arrived at a place like a fairyland.
There were thousands of connected mountains. A light mist floated in every corner, adding a sense of mystery to the place. The land was lush and green, the lakes were crystal - clear, and from time to time, spiritual fish jumped out of the water, leaving beautiful arcs in the air.
Chen Qingyuan looked into the distance and saw what seemed to be a huge, indestructible palace hanging in the air above the center surrounded by mountains.
"Don't stand there in a daze. Let's go!" The young man in white removed the restriction on Chen Qingyuan and started walking.
"Oh." Chen Qingyuan came to his senses and followed the young man in white.
As he walked, Chen Qingyuan admired the scenery of this mysterious space, which was like a paradise.
"Old Wu, it's really not that I want to break my promise. I will definitely have a proper fight with you next time we meet."
Thinking of Wu Junyan's extremely serious eyes, Chen Qingyuan sighed inwardly.
Chen Qingyuan knew that Wu Junyan valued promises more than his life, so he had no intention of running away and was ready to fight with all his strength. To his great surprise, the people from the Dao - Yi School Palace came suddenly, and he missed the duel again.
At the foot of the mountain, there was a jade staircase leading upwards. Each step was not connected and was suspended alone in mid - air, surrounded by thick fog, as if one were stepping on clouds and ascending to the sky.
The young man in white walked ahead and led Chen Qingyuan all the way up.
Up close, a huge palace came into Chen Qingyuan's view, astonishing him.
Above the outside of the hall, two large characters were faintly engraved: Dao - Yi.
Most of the palace and its interior buildings were white, made of extremely precious jade.
The gate of the school palace was about thirty meters high. There was a transparent barrier in the void at the entrance, with a few light - golden Dao patterns flowing occasionally, mysterious and wonderful.
At the entrance, there were over a hundred highly - talented young people, half male and half female.
These people came from various places. Chen Qingyuan didn't know any of them, and they definitely weren't from the Fuliu Star Field or its vicinity.
These people were fated to have the opportunity to enter the Dao - Yi School Palace and were qualified for the entrance assessment.
Every thousand years, the Dao - Yi School Palace would select suitable candidates. Only the top nine would be admitted, making the competition extremely fierce.
As soon as Chen Qingyuan arrived, an ancient voice echoed throughout the void: "Time is up. The assessment officially begins."
The young man in white leaped to a high place, with his hands behind his back, overlooking the hundred - plus examinees.
Then, he pointed to his side, and a dark - black vortex appeared, leading to an unknown secret realm.
"Enter the secret realm and start the assessment."
The young man in white was the examiner for this entrance test. With a single point, a light flashed on the foreheads of the examinees, and they instantly understood the specific rules of the assessment.
This assessment could test everyone's character, talent, perseverance, moral quality, and so on.
There were many tests within the secret realm, and rankings would be based on points.
The top nine with the most points would finally become students of the Dao - Yi School Palace, and the assessment period was five years.
Swoosh - some people didn't hesitate at all and plunged into the secret realm, looking forward to the upcoming assessment content.
When Chen Qingyuan was about to enter, he was suddenly blocked by a gentle force.
"What's the matter?"
"Little guy, you don't need to take the assessment."
A kind voice reached Chen Qingyuan's ears, unheard by the others.
"Huh? Why?" Chen Qingyuan was slightly startled. Guessing that the voice must come from a powerful figure in the Dao - Yi School Palace, he asked softly.
In the void, the young man in white had already sent the other examinees to the secret realm, leaving only Chen Qingyuan.
When the young man in white saw the laws emerging around Chen Qingyuan, he immediately understood who was interfering and looked towards the depths of the school palace, seemingly inquiring.
"Yichuan, this person doesn't need to be assessed."
A sentence echoed in Zhao Yichuan's (the young man in white) ears.
"Why?" Zhao Yichuan held a not - low position in the Dao - Yi School Palace, otherwise he couldn't be an examiner.
"He is from Qingzong in the Imperial State. Is this reason enough?" The old man in the school palace transmitted.
Hearing this, Zhao Yichuan's pupils dilated slightly, and a hint of surprise that couldn't be hidden appeared between his brows. Then, he looked down at Chen Qingyuan, and his eyes became a little softer.
"Enough."
Having received the answer, Zhao Yichuan agreed that Chen Qingyuan didn't need to participate in the assessment, and he had no objections.
The Qingzong in the Imperial State had declined to become the Xuanqing Sect in the Fuliu Star Field of the Northern Wilderness.
The senior management of the Dao - Yi School Palace clearly knew how much Qingzong had contributed to the stability of the world in the past.
Long ago, Qingzong gradually declined. The then - saint lord didn't want Qingzong's inheritance to be cut off, so he made a choice. He gave up all the resources in the Imperial State, gathered the remaining little heritage of the sect, cut off the causalities between heaven and earth, and made Qingzong disappear from the sight of the world. Nobody could know where Qingzong went.
After many years, countless people in the Imperial State thought Qingzong had been extinct. Only a very few top - tier forces knew that Qingzong still existed, but without the fetters of the causality law, they couldn't find Qingzong's current location.
Little did they know that Qingzong had changed its name to Xuanqing Sect and was located in a relatively remote star field in the Northern Wilderness.
"No wonder you asked me to pick up this kid in person. So that's how it is."
Zhao Yichuan's doubts disappeared. He gave Chen Qingyuan a deep look, then turned and went to the assessment secret realm to prevent any accidents.
Chen Qingyuan stood there, confused.
"Little guy, come in along this road!"
The old man's voice reached Chen Qingyuan's ears again.
As soon as the voice fell, the clouds and mist parted to both sides, forming a white - cloud path leading to the depths of the Dao - Yi School Palace.
