Chapter 1928: Void Law, The End of the Examination
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Void Heavenly World, Main Examination Hall.Over ten trillion prodigies are diligently answering their exams, with scores appearing above their heads, which are then transmitted back to the Misty Holy Temple in their respective worlds for tiered ranking.
The overall ranking can only be seen by Gong Qingqiu.
The selection process now is different from before.
Previously, prodigies from various corners of the universe gathered at the Sect Main Plaza of the Misty Holy Sect for the assessment, and then the top ten thousand in the overall ranking were selected.
Now, it is tiered ranking.
Due to the varying quality of major worlds, some world’s first place might only rank around the top hundred thousand or even one million in the overall ranking.
In the past, they would have been eliminated.
But now, they have a chance to join the sect.
On this matter, Gong Qingqiu initially thought it would mean missing those who made the top ten thousand in the overall ranking, but later upon hearing Ye Feng’s explanation, she understood.
This matter involved destiny!
To be ranked first in every Great Thousand World and its affiliated worlds, one must certainly be the Chosen One bearing the destiny of that land.
Such individuals, even if they rank only a million in the overall rankings, might have greater potential than those in the top ten thousand.
Therefore, Ye Feng chose to recruit based on tiered ranking.
In the future, the disciples gathered in the Misty Holy Sect will almost all be the Chosen Ones, children of destiny and of the Heavenly Dao from various realms, capable of propelling the sect’s fortune to its peak.
This is a magnificent game of chess!
High in the sky.
Gong Qingqiu watched the exam of the prodigies from various realms, then glanced at the overall ranking visible only to her, discovering many unique prodigies listed there.
“Those who made the top ten thousand in the overall ranking but ultimately did not join the Misty Holy Sect can be singled out and informed to the Hall Masters of various Holy Temples, letting them accept these eliminated prodigies as disciples, or incorporate them into Whitefloat City and the Nine Satellite Holy Cities.”
Gong Qingqiu thought silently.
Currently, the Misty Holy Sect still enrolls only ten thousand official disciples annually, but with Whitefloat City and the Nine Satellite Cities also recruiting core members, the total number of recruits annually has exceeded one hundred and ten thousand.
Strictly speaking, this is an expansion of enrollment.
For most prodigies, joining the Misty Holy Sect is undoubtedly the first choice, but, being able to join Whitefloat City affiliated with the Misty Holy Sect is also quite favorable.
The assessment continues.
Gong Qingqiu, Li Wanqing, and other elders of the Misty Holy Sect remained in the Void Heavenly World, overseeing the examination of the prodigies.
…
Land of Void.
Ye Feng is still comprehending the void, seemingly grasping something profound and mysterious, but as he nearly gleans insight, the feeling slips away.
This left him slightly frustrated.
“Where exactly did it go wrong?”
Ye Feng opened his eyes, a look of surprise on his face.
He had already scanned the universe and learned that within the Twin Universe, the Void Law did not exist, so he could attempt to create this entirely new law to elevate his cultivation.
Yet, he failed!
“There must be a mistake somewhere.”
Ye Feng murmured and continued his contemplation.
“Void, what is void?”
“Is it just the absence of everything?”
“No!”
“If everything is gone, then even void ceases to exist. True void is not simply the absence of everything, but rather a specific designation.”
Ye Feng pondered deeply.
In the next moment, his consciousness entered the interior of the Void Heavenly World, walking there.
“The Void Heavenly World, essentially, is an incredibly realistic virtual world, where the bodies and the data of real-world bodies are identical.”
“Therefore, the Void Heavenly World is a projection.”
Upon realizing this, Ye Feng seemed to understand something.
“The Void Law… should correspond to the projection of all things in the universe, the shadow side?”
He thought of this point.
To create a new law, one must understand the principles of that law and have a clear path. Otherwise, it is like a castle in the air, hard to establish.
“No!”
Ye Feng suddenly slapped his forehead.
“How foolish of me!”
“I’m creating a new law named the Void Law, not comprehending an existent law in the world.”
“Therefore, I can define the Void Law. Whatever form I envision the Void Law, it should be that form.”
Thinking of this, Ye Feng’s eyes brightened.
“So…”
“It’s time to employ my wits.”
Ye Feng returned to the Land of Void, looking at the endless desolate region before him, where besides small universes and countless chaos mist, there was nothing else.
Immediately, he began to close his eyes and contemplate.
Time trickled away, bit by bit.
…
Void Heavenly World, Main Examination Hall.
After ten days and nights of examination, the time for the written test finally ended. Trillions of prodigies looked at their scores above their heads, their expressions varied.
“Alas, only hundreds of thousands of points.”
“I have three hundred thousand points, ranking first in my world!”
“Haha, I’m third in my world.”
Some rejoiced, while others worried.
At this moment, Gong Qingqiu spoke:
“Ladies and gentlemen, the written test has concluded. I believe you’re all aware of your scores. Next, the second assessment will begin—the martial test!”
Upon hearing this, everyone became nervous.
Once the martial test concludes, the total score from both tests will be fixed, and the final ranking will be revealed, directly determining their future, making everyone understandably anxious.
“The martial test also spans ten days and nights, where each individual will face a million evil beasts of the same realm—it’s all about who slays the most.”
Gong Qingqiu added.
Here in the Void Heavenly World, creating beasts matching the cultivation level of the examiners is simple since they are all virtual beings conjured by a mere thought of Ye Feng.
Prior to the examination, he even opened this Ancient Star specifically as the exam space.
Here, countless virtual beasts exist.
Swish, swish, swish!
Trillions of prodigies entered individual virtual secret realms, facing a million evil beasts of the same realm.
“The martial test begins!”
Gong Qingqiu announced loudly, and those previously motionless beasts immediately launched attacks.
“Kill!”
Trillions of prodigies took a deep breath and immediately started fighting, each giving their all, unwilling to hold back, lest others surpass them.
Time flew by, and another ten days and nights passed.
The martial test ended completely.
Gong Qingqiu glanced at the overall ranking and compared it with the tiered rankings from various worlds, discovering that the first place from a certain Great Thousand World ranked only at the million eight hundred and fifty thousandth in the overall standings.
In the past, he would have been ineligible.
But now, because he is the first in his world and a Chosen One, he got selected.
“There are many eliminated prodigies on the overall list, which the Hall Masters of various sub-temples should be informed of.”
Gong Qingqiu thought quietly.
Then, she looked at the trillions of prodigies standing on the test ancient star surface and shouted loudly: “The written and martial tests have concluded, return to the real world! Those who succeeded will be personally escorted by our Misty Holy Sect disciples to Whitefloat City on the Shenzhou Continent.”
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the prodigies varied.
Some, having ranked first in their world and confirmed entry into the Misty Holy Sect, naturally felt elated.
Others, ranking only in the tens within their realm and failing to even make the top eleven, let alone joining the Misty Holy Sect or gaining entry into Whitefloat City and the Nine Satellite Cities, felt disappointed.
“Disperse!” Gong Qingqiu announced, “If you’re dissatisfied with this year’s results, you’re welcome to participate in next year’s entry examination for the thirteenth-generation disciples.”
Everyone felt an enormous pressure after hearing this.
At present, the Twin Universe has entered a super Peak Prosperous Age, with supreme talents emerging every year, and the difficulty will only increase in the future.
So, they dare not gamble.
“I’ve decided to join Whitefloat City.”
A supreme talent ranked second in the world clenched his fist and said to his friends beside him.
“I’ve also decided to join the Holy City.”
This person’s friend nodded.
One was ranked second in the world, and the other was third, while their friend, who was ranked first, was also on good terms with them.
Other supreme talents were the same.
As long as they were ranked in the top eleven in the world, they mostly chose to join the Misty Holy Sect or Whitefloat City and the nine affiliated Satellite Holy Cities, without planning to fight again next year.
Because it wasn’t really worth it.
Even just joining Whitefloat City and the nine affiliated Satellite Holy Cities, a year’s time would be enough for them to break through to the Immortal Venerable level, or even the Immortal Emperor Realm.
Moments later.
The consciousness of billions of supreme talents returned to their bodies, eyes opening, looking at the Hall Masters of the Misty Holy Temple and the disciples of the Misty Holy Sect who had been guarding them for twenty days.
“Congratulations on completing the assessments.”
The Hall Masters of the Misty Holy Temple stated simultaneously.
Everyone stood up one after another.
“Sigh, I probably didn’t make it.” A supreme talent ranked twenty-fifth in this world sighed in frustration, looking dejected.
“I was just at the eleventh place, so close.”
The other supreme talents murmured.
At this moment, in the Heavenly Dragon Great Thousand World.
Elder Immortal Emperor Zhou Yuan, stationed at the Misty Holy Temple here, stood with his hands behind his back, smilingly looking at the eleven supreme talents standing before him, and said aloud:
“Congratulations on ranking in the top eleven of this realm. First, the one ranked first can enter the Misty Holy Sect as a Thirteenth-generation Disciple. The remaining ten will first gather in Whitefloat City and wait for further arrangements. Whether you will become disciples of Whitefloat City or the nine Satellite Cities will depend on your own fate.”
These eleven people were overjoyed upon hearing this.
Lin Feng, a Twelfth-generation Disciple of the Misty Holy Sect, stepped forward, revealing his fivefold Immortal Emperor cultivation level, instantly enveloping the billions of supreme talents, and said:
“I am Lin Feng, a Twelfth-generation Disciple of the Misty Holy Sect. I’ll give you three days to prepare; after that, I will personally escort you to Whitefloat City located in the Southern Domain of the Shenzhou Continent.”
“Thank you, Immortal Emperor Lin Feng!”
The eleven supreme talents cupped their hands in thanks.
Lin Feng looked at the top-ranked individual in this realm and said: “You have passed the assessment and are now a prospective disciple of our Misty Holy Sect. You can call me Senior Brother Lin.”
“Alright, Senior Brother Lin.” The young man, ranked first in the Heavenly Dragon Great Thousand World, said in surprise.
Swish!
As Lin Feng waved his hand, eleven streams of energy dispersed and merged into the bodies of these eleven supreme talents.
“This is one of my forbidden techniques, capable of unleashing attack and defense powers equivalent to eighty percent of my strength, ensuring your safety for these three days.”
Lin Feng reminded them.
Everyone thanked him again with cupped hands upon hearing this.
At this moment, Elder Immortal Emperor Zhou Yuan coughed and said, “Then, it’s my turn to select disciples. This year, this Hall Master has decided to recruit five direct disciples, who can usually cultivate here at the Misty Holy Temple and also have the opportunity to go to Whitefloat City.”
The remaining supreme talents were overjoyed upon hearing this.
In the next moment.
Elder Immortal Emperor Zhou Yuan selected five supreme talents from the crowd, ranked exactly twelfth to sixteenth in this realm, all with genuine Divine Grade talents.
Such talent was already quite good.
“Congratulations to Hall Master Zhou Yuan!”
Beside him, Lin Feng cupped his hands in congratulations, then, with a wave, five Immortal Venerable level weapons appeared, each suspended in front of these five supreme talents.
“These are my gifts to you.”
Lin Feng added.
“Thank you, Immortal Emperor Lin Feng!”
The five disciples of Hall Master Zhou Yuan were overjoyed, quickly cupping their hands in thanks, their faces full of joy. Although they couldn’t join the Misty Holy Sect and Whitefloat City, being accepted as disciples by Immortal Emperor-level Zhou Yuan was still very good.
From now on, they had a dependable backing.
“As for the rest, you may disperse!”
Hall Master Zhou Yuan dismissed the remaining individuals.
“Sigh!”
Everyone dispersed quickly, looking dejected.
Similar scenes were unfolding across the universe.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
Lin Feng and thousands of Twelfth-generation or Eleventh-generation disciples of the Misty Holy Sect, each leading eleven supreme talents from various realms, arrived at nearby teleportation arrays and spent a bit of time directly teleporting to the massive Whitefloat City.
“This is Whitefloat City.”
High above.
Thousands of disciples of the Misty Holy Sect stood suspended in the air, overlooking the magnificent and grand Whitefloat City below, pointing towards the center of the city.
That was the location of the Misty Holy Sect.
The enormous Misty Peak stood on the ground, piercing the clouds, exuding an aura of majesty and grandeur.
“Prospective disciples follow me, the rest remain at the entrance to the City Lord’s Mansion in Whitefloat City, where Elder Gong Qingqiu will personally receive you and make further arrangements.”
Said Lin Feng and other disciples of the Misty Holy Sect.
Immediately, they left the second to eleventh-ranked talents from various realms at the entrance to the City Lord’s Mansion in Whitefloat City and led the first-ranked individuals of the thirteen-generation prospective disciples onward to Misty Peak.
Whitefloat City, City Lord’s Mansion.
Gong Qingqiu stepped out from the door of a small world, her pretty face full of smiles as she looked at the hundred thousand supreme talents before her.
These people were all elites.
In this current super Peak Prosperous Age, they all had the potential of Immortal Emperors. Nurtured in the City Lord’s Mansion in Whitefloat City, they could become the backbone of Whitefloat City and the nine Satellite Holy Cities in the future.
“Greetings, Prefect Gong!”
A hundred thousand supreme talents knelt on one knee in salute.
Gong Qingqiu, Chief Elder of the Misty Holy Sect, City Lord of Whitefloat City, with over eighty times the Immortal Emperor power!
Her name is renowned throughout the universe.
Even in some remote worlds, legends about her are likely being told, calling her the right-hand assistant of the Misty Holy Sect Leader Ye Feng, with a lofty status.
Today, the supreme talents finally met her in person.
Each felt utterly excited inside.
Gong Qingqiu also looked upon these supreme talents. In the future, they would become her capable assistants. Thinking of this, she waved her hand, leading the crowd into the small world.
On the other side, Misty Peak.
Lin Feng and other senior disciples led the prospective Thirteenth-generation disciples to the foot of the mountain and began to explain.
“In our Misty Holy Sect, there is a tradition. Every new generation of disciples must climb Misty Peak, and you are no exception. The Sect Leader should be at the peak; exert all your strength to climb! Your climbing ranking will directly determine your order among the Thirteenth-generation disciples.”
With that said, the senior disciples retreated behind the crowd.
The supreme talents glanced at each other.
In the next moment.
“Charge ahead!”
The supreme talents shouted as they chose their paths according to their cultivation levels, all giving it their all to climb towards the summit, gradually pulling apart.
“Seeing them, I seem to see myself from last year, it’s really nostalgic!”
Lin Feng murmured.
The other senior disciples smiled knowingly as well.
At the same time.
At the summit of Misty Peak.
Ye Feng’s form gradually appeared, a hint of fatigue in his eyes, but soon, his pupils filled with intense joy, and a smile graced his lips.
He extended his hand, looking at his palm.
There, a wisp of semi-transparent energy hovered.
This is… the Void Law!
