"The Supreme Elder has arrived?"
"Ye Xu Kong!"
"Lu Xingzhou!"
"Why have Su Moran and Han Buxiu from Heaven-Shocking Peak come too? Oh right, Ye Qingchen is from Heaven-Shocking Peak! How could she not come to observe?"
Majestic auras accompanied by rays of light descended fiercely.
Like several great mountains crashing down, giving an overwhelming feeling of dark clouds pressing down, with peaks hanging overhead.
In an instant.
The attention of everyone in Elder Peak was drawn over. After all, compared to the grudge between Ye Qingchen and Jian Chen, the upcoming Elder appointment examination was the main focus.
Jian Chen was evidently aware of the situation at this moment and glared venomously at Ye Qingchen:
"Kid surnamed Ye, you got lucky! During the appointment examination, you’d better not encounter me, or I’ll definitely make you regret it!"
After speaking, he turned and left in anger.
Bai Yujing also gave Ye Qingchen a cold glance, then turned and left.
Others witnessing this couldn’t help but smirk coldly.
Including Seven Stars Peak.
Ye Qingchen had at least offended three out of the seven major peaks; she truly was making enemies all around. Moreover, it was not impossible that people from other peaks might want to curry favor with Seven Stars Peak and take action against Ye Qingchen!
"This kid is simply unbelievably arrogant! She even dares to disregard Seven Stars Peak! I wonder how she’s going to bear Jian Chen’s fury later!"
"Indeed! With Jian Chen’s character, he would never let her off easily!"
However.
To Ye Qingchen, this was merely a minor episode. What mattered most to him today was acquiring the Wind Stone to elevate his nine bone swords to the immortal grade.
Of course.
This time, he might even find an opportunity to step into the Earth Immortal realm during this Elder appointment.
How could these conflicts between the candidate Elders escape the eyes of the Supreme Elders? Lu Xingzhou cast a sinister glance at Ye Qingchen, his gaze turning cold as he looked at Su Moran, speaking in a sarcastic voice:
"Elder Su, Ye Qingchen is just a Half-Step Human Immortal, and you’re still confident in letting him take the Elder appointment examination? Aren’t you afraid that if he fails, it will tarnish your reputation as the First Earth Immortal?"
"Don’t forget, who defeated Bai Yujing! You’d better worry about them!" Su Moran retorted icily.
"You..."
Lu Xingzhou was enraged at these words.
In the battle at Yingxian Tower, not only was Bai Yujing slapped away by Ye Qingchen, but he was also later detained by Su Moran. To redeem these disciples, he had to pay a hefty price.
"Today is the Elder appointment examination; don’t embarrass yourself in front of these juniors!" Ye Xu Kong stated coldly, "Whether one can pass the examination is not for us to decide!"
"You’ve lost enough face; even your direct disciples have turned against you! Do you still care about these?" Su Moran mocked, "Careful that your Celestial Moon Peak doesn’t fail a single examination this time!"
"Sharp-tongued!" Ye Xu Kong was almost breathing fire.
Han Buxiu was her greatest heartache!
Now.
Yet Su Moran publicly tore open the wound, which was akin to slapping her in the face!
"This convenient master of mine is indeed indefatigable..." Ye Qingchen smirked.
These Supreme Elders likely haven’t gained much ground against Su Moran, yet they can’t do anything about her. The other Supreme Elders kept their expressions neutral, looking on with dispassion, as if fearing they might get involved.
It was Supreme Elder Kong Yuanhao of Piaomiao Peak who, seeing the conflict rise again, quickly interjected:
"The Elder appointment examination starts now!"
His voice resounded like a great bell, rolling like thunder.
Instantly, the entire audience fell silent.
All eyes turned to Kong Yuanhao.
"This examination will last for three days!"
"The location of this examination is the Cyan Nether Hall behind me! You will face many trials! Only by passing all the trials will you have officially succeeded!"
"Those who pass can shed the title of ’candidate Elder’ and become a formal Elder of Taotian Palace. There are some important points I must stress regarding the examination!"
Kong Yuanhao looked at the dozen or so candidate Elders in front of him, continuing in a steady voice:
"The examination is fraught with danger. If you are on the brink of death, you will be automatically transported out of Cyan Nether Hall. Of course, once you leave this hall, it means you have forfeited!"
"Moreover, there are no restrictions on fighting during the examination. If you lose, you will also be forcibly removed."
Upon hearing this, almost immediately, Jian Chen’s cold gaze swept over. Besides him, others from Void Peak and Seven Stars Peak also looked on with hostile intent.
This was a perfectly legitimate opportunity to challenge Ye Qingchen!
"During the examination, each person has three opportunities to select treasures! It could be a weapon, a Heavenly and Earthly Treasure, or martial techniques...but remember, you only have three chances!"
"Now, I will distribute the tokens needed to enter Cyan Nether Hall! If you encounter danger, these tokens will bring you back."
With these words, Kong Yuanhao raised his hand and waved.
Swoosh!
Dozens of beams of light shot into the sky, flying directly toward the crowd. Each person grabbed a beam of light, which turned out to be a bronze token.
The token was engraved with unreadable runes, under which glowed a golden light.
Evidently.
These tokens were the credentials for entering the Cyan Nether Hall!
Moreover, holding it in your hand, one could vaguely sense it had some connection with the Cyan Nether Hall.
After Ye Qingchen and the others examined the tokens and stored them away, Kong Yuanhao’s voice sounded once more:
"Enter the Cyan Nether Hall now!"
"Within these three days, whether you pass the examination and obtain the ultimate treasure depends entirely on your own skills!"
Having said that.
He waved his hand again.
"Creak!"
A grand sound echoed as the towering green hall, shrouded in mist and rain, creaked open its tightly shut doors. Inside was pitch black, like a gigantic beast lying in wait, ready to pounce and devour anyone!
Incredibly mysterious!
With Kong Yuanhao’s words, Ye Qingchen and the others on the scene took a deep breath and went directly to the front of the Cyan Nether Hall.
"Let’s go!"
The candidate Elders from Cold Star Peak exchanged a glance, transforming into beams of light, and rushed into the hall. As they stepped into the hall, the bronze tokens they wore shimmered mysteriously and they disappeared from everyone’s sight!
"Cyan Nether Hall!"
"Three days?"
Ye Qingchen gazed upon the hall and was about to step forward.
Suddenly.
A voice rang directly in his mind.
"Hmm?"
Hearing the content of this voice, Ye Qingchen glanced back at Su Moran, his lips curving slightly as he nodded.
Then.
He took a deep breath, jumped up, and transformed into a beam of light, flying into the Cyan Nether Hall!
