As soon as Qin Yi said this, Murong Huan thought about it and spoke immediately.
"Great Elder, forgive me for being blunt, but we don't need to use the tokens bestowed by the upper sect. We are all the elites among the elites of the Yun Sect. If even we cannot pass through the Heavenly Gate by our own abilities, then what qualifications do we have to pass the next eight levels?" Murong Huan said in a deep voice.
After saying that, Murong walked up to Qin Yi, took out the special order that Tai Shang Ganying had taught them, and handed it to Qin Yi.
Qin Yi understood what Murong Huan meant. She smiled knowingly. This was the eldest disciple of their Yun Sect.
"Okay, how many of you have the same idea as Murong Huan? If you all have this idea, then take out all the special orders and I will keep them for the time being." Qin Yi gestured.
Ji Chunling and the others did not hesitate. They all thought they were not inferior to anyone, so how could they use this backdoor method to pass the first level?
Those who want to use the back door are those despicable people who have no confidence in themselves. Of course, this is just their own opinion.
The Yunxia Sect also has privileges, but many disciples of the Yunxia Sect must need to use tokens to pass the first level. There is nothing that can be done about it.
Seeing that everyone else had handed in their money, Ye Liuyun felt embarrassed to stay.
After Qin Yi took all the tokens, she spoke again.
"In the first level, there is a grading mechanism. You will be asked to attack Tianmen. Tianmen will grade your qualifications based on your abilities. From low to high, there are white, green, blue, purple, yellow, earth, and heaven. To enter, you must have at least white-level qualifications. You should understand what I mean, right?"
What Qin Yi said was quite interesting. The level was determined based on the strength with which they attacked Tianmen. In other words, if they restrained their strength and did not use their full strength, the level would definitely be lower.
There are advantages to having a high grade, and there are advantages to having a low grade.
If you have a high level, you can enter the sight of the Supreme Induction Sect in advance, but at the same time, you may be easily targeted in the later levels.
Deliberately rating it low is like playing the pig to eat the tiger, but it is also easy to be ignored and there should be less trouble, but it still depends on the specific situation.
"Okay, it's almost time to go." Qin Yi smiled slightly, then flew out from the broken window.
Murong Huan and others did not waste time and flew out one after another. After they flew out, the disciples of the other three families also flew out from other floors.
"Haha, Brother Murong, I'm curious to ask, is your Yun Sect planning to use the special order to pass the first level, or rely on your own ability?" Dao Yan flew to Murong Huan and asked with a smile.
"What? Brother Daoyan has no confidence in himself and plans to use a special order?" Murong Huan asked back with narrowed eyes.
"Are you kidding? Does my Dao Sect need it? Fairy Hanxiang, Fairy Nie, what about your two families?" Daoyan sniffed Hanxiang and Nie Qingwu again.
"Hmph! Don't underestimate us, the Hua Sect. We can think of everything that you can think of. It'll all depend on your abilities. Don't embarrass yourself." Hanxiang said proudly.
Nie Qingwu had a cold face and didn't say anything. This Nie Qingwu was a man before. Before he became a woman, he was a cold person. After he became a woman, he became a cold beauty. It's strange, why are the monks who major in swordsmanship so cold.
The disciples of the Sword Sect, regardless of gender, are all the type that don’t like to talk much, just like Yun Xin and Lin Aoxue.
Ye Liuyun was pulled by Lin Aoxue, who was carefully looking at the disciples of the four major sects.
"Aoxue, have you noticed that the disciples of these four families are all very distinctive? The disciples of the Flower Sect, both men and women, are all dressed up and gorgeous, and both talented and beautiful. The disciples of the Sword Sect are all cold and indifferent. The disciples of the Dao Sect all look quite easy-going." Ye Liuyun said in a low voice.
Lin Aoxue rolled her eyes and didn't explain why. She was too lazy to explain such things.
But as they were talking, someone suddenly called out Ye Liuyun.
"Hey? Junior Sister Ye, what's wrong with you? Why do you need your sister to pull you to fly? Can't you fly by yourself?" A female disciple of Hua Zong joked.
Isn't this a disguised mockery of Ye Liuyun?
"Tsk!" Ye Liuyun sighed and did not respond.
The sky was filled with cultivators flying densely. They quickly left Tianyi City and arrived at the foot of a mountain at the outermost part of the Tai Shang Ganying Sect's residence.
Tianmen Mountain is the entrance to the residence of the Supreme Induction Sect. It is composed of two extremely majestic peaks, which look like a door from a distance. There is a long staircase leading directly between the two peaks. There is a golden energy barrier between the two peaks. This place is like a fortress, with the top of the head wrapped in a formation and surrounded by cliffs on all sides.
Tianmen Mountain does not refer to the mountain peak, but to the outermost area of the Taishang Ganying Sect.
If someone flies to the center of the sky above the Tianyi Mountains to take a look, they will find that the headquarters of the Tai Shang Ganying Sect is circular and in the shape of Tai Chi Bagua.
People who understand formations will find that the Tai Shang Ganying Sect itself is a huge formation layout, and the Tianmen entrance is the only way out. If you forcibly enter the Tai Shang Ganying Sect from other areas, you will basically die.
"Wow! No wonder it's called Tianmen, it's the gate to heaven." Ye Liuyun saw the gate standing in the clouds from afar.
This Tianmen is at the highest point of Tianmen Mountain. At this moment, a large number of cultivators have gathered at the foot of Tianmen Mountain. Although the number has been reduced by several million due to what happened three days ago, it still looks so large that it makes people's scalps numb, and the crowds are black and dense.
Everyone from Yun Sect found an open space and stood there. This first level did not require fighting with each other. If you met the standard, you could go in. If you did not, then there was nothing you could do.
With so many people crowded together, it felt even more crowded than in Tianyi City. In his previous life, Ye Liuyun had never seen so many people gathered in one area. There were nearly tens of millions of cultivators.
After everyone arrived, soon, a dignified woman in purple appeared at the entrance of the Heavenly Gate. It was the Fairy Taiyin.
"This Nanling Grand Event is hosted by me. I am the master of Taiyin Peak of the Supreme Induction Sect, and my Taoist name is Taiyin. Next, I will introduce the rules of the Tianmen Trial. You must listen carefully. Everyone has only one chance..."
Fairy Taiyin carefully explained the rules that Qin Yi had mentioned not long ago. After listening, everyone understood what it meant.
"Okay, I've said everything that needs to be said. Next, the first stage of the Nanling event, the Tianmen Trial, will officially begin. The rest of the time is up to you." Fairy Taiyin left a word and then disappeared.
But at the same time she disappeared, more than ten monks from the Supreme Induction Sect wearing Taoist robes walked out. They should be there to maintain order, and the worst of them had cultivation levels of the Four Extreme Secret Realms.
Afterwards, a series of more intense music sounds were heard in the sky. This sound should have come from the Tai Shang Ganying Sect. The music was very intense and had a power that made one's blood boil.
This sound came from Xianle Peak of the Tai Shang Ganying Sect. At this time, all the disciples of Xianle Peak acted as opening musicians.
"Wow, there is even opening music. The song is quite passionate, and gives people a sense of yearning for the future." Ye Liuyun said with enjoyment as he listened to the music coming from the sky.
Soon, a large number of cultivators flew up and headed for the Tianmen. However, these people were probably all independent cultivators who had no concentration at all. The cultivators from slightly stronger sects were all watching the situation to see what mystery there was in this Tianmen trial.
It is easy to fail if you rush in without understanding the situation clearly.
"Open it for me." A middle-aged man in the third level of the Taoist Palace took the lead and arrived in front of the energy barrier of Tianmen, and smashed it with all his strength.
The barrier did not immediately bounce him away. Under his powerful attack, the white barrier clearly began to ripple, but the final rebound force directly bounced him away.
"No, why?" The middle-aged man clenched his fists unwillingly after being flung away.
If he failed to get in, it means that he is not qualified to attend the provincial capital this time.
He wanted to try again, but was warned by a disciple of the Supreme Induction Sect.
"You are eliminated and can leave."
These words made the middle-aged man's face change, and he could only sigh helplessly. He flew into the sky and left the entrance of Tianmen. This guy's failure made the faces of the monks behind him change.
Apparently this place was not as easy to enter as they thought.
But now that they were here, they could only try their best and use their powerful treasures. This place could allow multiple people to work at the same time.
For a moment, colorful magic power bombarded the barrier, but among more than a hundred people who attacked at the same time, only one person broke through the barrier. A white light immediately shot out from the gap in the barrier and shone on his forehead. Immediately, a silver-white mark appeared on his forehead.
The man touched his forehead and immediately became excited.
"Haha, I passed." After saying that, the man passed through the barrier and entered the second level.
"Huh? What's going on? This person is only at the first level of the Dao Palace, so how come he was able to pass?" Those participating monks who were repelled and flew away were all stunned.
They didn't understand the specific requirements of the Tianmen Trial because Taiyin didn't tell them. He just told them that they could enter if they had enough qualifications.
"Don't stand here, loser, leave quickly." The disciple of the Supreme Induction Sect who was guarding the Heavenly Gate drove them away again.
Then came batch after batch. It can be said that among the hundreds of trial-takers, only a few passed, and the vast majority of the monks were eliminated.
The millions of people standing in the front are basically independent cultivators.
The talented young people are all in the major sects. There are not so many talented individual cultivators.
"These should all be independent cultivators. Each of them has a weak aura and most of them are older. They are not the ones the sect wants." Murong Huan and others smiled slightly.
Based on these few waves of situations, they have roughly understood how Tianmen judges the qualifications of cultivators, but they still need cultivators with stronger cultivation and better qualifications to make a complete judgment.
As wave after wave of independent cultivators were eliminated, only a dozen cultivators with white-level qualifications passed, and currently even cultivators with green-level qualifications have not appeared.
Ten minutes later, an impatient monk finally couldn't wait any longer.
"Stop wasting time, get out of my way." A young man who specialized in thunder appeared like a thundercloud. He blew away the monks who were blocking the way in front of him in an instant, and then slapped the barrier with his palm in the air.
The barrier lasted for a while, and then a hole opened up. A blue light flew out and hit his forehead. A blue mark appeared on his forehead, which meant that this person was a cultivator with blue-level qualifications.
"Tsk, only blue level?" The young man said unhappily, then flew into the barrier.
This young man has reached the early stage of out-of-body cultivation, but his aptitude is only blue level.
"Blue level qualifications, this is quite interesting to enter, but it is still not enough." Murong Huan laughed.
They were waiting for a cultivator with equal aptitude to show up. Even though the cultivator just now was almost in the early stage of the Out-of-Body Realm, he was probably over a hundred years old.
On the Yun Sect side, although Murong Huan and his men are also over a hundred years old, they are definitely not comparable to the guy just now.
The assessment process is very fast. With the elimination rate of several hundred people, these independent cultivators will be eliminated soon.
After they leave the stage, it is time for the sect's monks to show their prowess.
The higher-ups of the Taishan Ganying Sect were also carefully observing the situation of the Tianmen Trial.
"The little ones this year are quite calm." Old Ancestor Tianyi laughed.
"Yeah, I don't know whether this Nanling event will give birth to a disciple with heavenly talent. I hope it will give me some unexpected surprises." Xu Huan said with interest.
However, these words made the elders of the Supreme Induction Sect alert. If a cultivator with heavenly aptitude really was born, the Nine Heavens Holy Land might have ideas.
But there's nothing we can do about it, because the other person has a bigger fist.
As everyone gradually figured out the rules of the Tianmen Trial, the number of cultivators taking the trial together increased from a few hundred to over a thousand. Given the size of Tianmen, it would not be a problem to accommodate hundreds of people, even tens of thousands of people. The only thing is that the people at the back would have to fly higher.
Half an hour later...
In just half an hour, more than one million cultivators were eliminated. Among these one million cultivators, only a few hundred passed the assessment, and the best one was only blue level.
"Hmph! A bunch of ignorant villains, wasting time. At least several million more people need to be eliminated before the real geniuses can take the stage." Many cultivators from various sects said with disdain.
Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue found a place to sit down.
"Senior Brother, why don't you just go over there? What are you waiting for?" Ye Liuyun asked curiously.
When Murong Huan saw Ye Liuyun asking, he squinted his eyes and smiled slightly.
"A true chosen one of heaven will not compete on the same stage with a group of ordinary people. If you take the test among them, your own brilliance will be overshadowed by them. Only by taking the test with cultivators of similar qualifications can your own qualifications be highlighted. This is what we think, and there are many people who have this idea." Murong Huan glanced at the cultivators around him who were motionless and had no intention of going up. These were basically cultivators from sects. The bigger the sect, the calmer their disciples would be.
But after a while, Lin Aoxue couldn't sit still anymore. She didn't like to deal with these trivial things.
"What a waste of time. It's already been half an hour. Sister, let's go. The two of us will be the pioneers for Senior Brother Murong and the others." After Lin Aoxue said this, she suddenly grabbed Ye Liuyun and flew towards Tianmen.
Seeing this, Murong Huan and the others immediately became interested.
"Eh? Aoxue, I don't want to be the first to stick out, let's just keep a low profile." Ye Liuyun said quickly.
But Lin Aoxue was very clear about what Murong Huan and others were thinking.
"Being low-key is bullshit. After we finish the trial, they will definitely take action." Lin Aoxue complained.
The two of them quickly flew to the top of Tianmen.
"Almost. I'll give you a ride."
Lin Aoxue first threw Ye Liuyun out with force, and Ye Liuyun flew straight towards the barrier.
"Ah! Don't be so violent, Master, please help me keep it secret and just get a white-level qualification." Ye Liuyun said hurriedly.
At the same time, the barrier was imminent. As she finished speaking, she punched the Tianmen barrier.
"Pfft."
Ye Liuyun's punch easily penetrated the barrier and even created a big hole in it.
The gaps created by the successful assessors' attacks on the barrier can be large or small, and the better the qualifications, the bigger the gap.
Then a white light flew out from the barrier and shot into Ye Liuyun's forehead.
"Haha, thank you Master." Ye Liuyun just felt the moment when his punch hit the barrier, a force scanned her body, but was confused by Lin Qingyou's power.
Ye Liuyun also flew in through the gap.
"Aoxue, I'm waiting for you inside, come in quickly." Ye Liuyun turned his head and said, then he passed through and disappeared.
However, the strength and level displayed by Ye Liuyun were somewhat abnormal.
Especially those in the Yun Sect who know Ye Liuyun’s abilities. Ye Liuyun is less than 30 years old and has the power to fight against cultivators in the Out-of-Body Realm. How could such a Ye Liuyun be of only white-level aptitude?
"White level? It seems that Junior Sister Ye is deliberately restraining herself." Murong Huan and others soon knew what Ye Liuyun had done.
The expressions of the top leaders of the Tai Shang Ganying Sect were even stranger.
"That's not right. This little girl was able to break through the barrier in an instant and create such a big hole. This shows that it was very easy for her. How could she only have white-level qualifications? She should at least start at blue-level, right? What an interesting little girl. Is she planning to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger? Moreover, she should be an individual cultivator, right?" Ancestor Tianyi and others were very surprised when they saw Ye Liuyun pass the level.
Li Muyun watched Ye Liuyun pass the test and fell into deep thought.
After Ye Liuyun went in, Lin Aoxue was about to start. She had promised Yun Zong, so she had to use all her strength to break the barriers. She could not be as low-key as Ye Liuyun.
Lin Aoxue took a deep breath and then drew out her sword. The vision of the fairy palace behind her gradually brightened up. The power of the Taoist palace gathered on the sword, and finally it slashed at the barrier. This sword directly cut a huge hole in the barrier.
And the moment the hole was opened, a golden light fell from the sky and sprinkled on Lin Aoxue's body.
