Big Bodhi

The Luoxia Training Hall was located in the extreme west of the Luoxia Mountains, at the foot of the Tong Ming Peak. At this time, the Training Hall was booming with people; nearly 200,000 souls gathered from the nineteen ancient cities and many mountain ranges under the Taiyu Saint Sect to take part in the entrance examination.

The Imperial Court didn’t expect much from the examiners, as long as they were in the Luoxia Hall before the examination and were under the age of 20, they could take part in the entrance examination along with the rest of the living.

Jiao Xiuyu led Ji Yuenian to the door of the training hall, and when the silver light lingered, he reappeared in human form and said, "Junior Brother Ji, you have been officially listed as an Outer Disciple, but due to the special rules of the Eclipsed Moon Peak, you have to take the entrance examination again. Now, you need to go to the Chaoxia Hall (Imperial Palace Hall) with your Outer Sect token for another examination."

Ji Yuenian looked at the bustling crowd in the Luoxia Hall and asked, "Is the Chaoxia Hall inside the training hall?"

"Yes," Jiao Xiuyu pointed towards the far end of the hall, "After entering the Luoxia training hall, go straight along with the hanging stone platform, and then you will reach the Chaoxia Hall at the end of the training hall. If you don't go and provide another explanation, and once they discover you as a disciple of the Outer Sect, you may be judged as intentionally disrupting the entrance examination and be punished for violating sect rules."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Jiao."

After thanking him, Ji Yuenian went straight to Luoxia training hall with the outer sect token.

The ghosts in the Eclipsed Moon Peak Hall had already left a message on his Outer Sect token, so all he had to do was go to the Chaoxia Hall and tell them about it, and then he could take part in the entrance examinatioormally with the rest of the spirits.

The door of the Luoxia training hall was wide open, and there were over ten stone steps with a width of several meters from the training hall to the edge of the Tong Ming Peak, making it extremely easy for ordinary people to enter the training hall.

Walking on the leftmost stone steps, Ji Yuenian looked around the flock of people, his heart pondering.

Among those who came to take part in the examination, there were quite a few ordinary people whose faces were full of very strong hope, their eyes full of longing.

If they could pass the entrance examination, even if only listed as a mere normal disciple it was enough for these mortals.

Although the normal disciples did not receive two spirit stones per month like the Outer Sect disciples, if they were smart, sensible, and diligent, they could also receive a lot of gold and silver vulgar items every month, which was enough for them to become a nobleman and escape the fate of generations of poverty after they leave the sect.

After following the stone staircase into the Luoxia training hall, Ji Yuenian could feel the grandeur of this portal.

What came into his sight were, nine massive and unparalleled suspended stone platforms, with dense stone steps interspersed among them, all these stone platforms were connected to each other, and nearly 200,000 living beings were scattered on these nine stone platforms, but they did not appear to be crowded at all, and there were even a lot of open spaces among them.

At this moment, it was the dawn, the rising sun dyed the sky a blazing red color, and the golden-red sunlight fell down on the world, adding a magnificent color between heaven and the earth.

"Chaoxia Hall."

Ji Yuenian was now on the far left of the expansive stone platform. He raised his eyes and looked into the depths of the training hall, and saw a towering palace with a height of dozens of feet in the palace pavilions behind the nine stone platforms, with a plaque engraved with the word "Chaoxia".

After walking for about a stick of incense, he reached the end of this stone platform, where there were two suspended stone steps connecting with the many palaces in the depths of the dojo, and if one wanted to go to the Chaoxia Hall, these two stone steps were the only way to go.

<em class="chakra-text css-0">Bang!

The sound of a bell that shook heaven and earth rippled out from the roof of the Chaoxia Hall, and several dazzling mysterious lights traversed the sky, reaching the sky above the nine stone platforms.

The uproar gradually subsided, and more than 100,000 people looked up at the magnificent royal carriage suspended above the sky.

The royal carriage was exquisite and luxurious, surrounded by several rare spirit birds and snow-white Xuan Qi clouds lay beneath it. The golden carved jade carriage was displayed on the side, and it was clearly a valuable flying magic weapon.

"There are still two incense sticks left for the entrance examination of the Taiyu Saint Sect. Later I will set up the examination gates on the nine stone platforms, the doors are divided into nine channels, you can enter them in turn."

A clear voice was sounded throughout the entire Luoxia training hall, the person who spoke was a handsome young man in white. Behind him were several disciples of the True Dao Realm, standing respectfully.

The young man's status must be very high to be in charge of the Outer Sect's entrance examination.

"This is the deputy peak master of Tong Ming Peak, Liao Xun of the Great Return to the True Realm!"

"Liao Xun Shang Zhen has been in charge of Tongming Peak for a long time, so it is only right for him to take charge of the entrance examination this time."

"Return to the Truth Realm, tsk tsk, such a cultivation level and yet he is only the a deputy peak master. The water in the Luoxia Mountains range is very profound."

—

After a while, Ji Yuenian learned the identity of the young man in white from the discussions of the surrounding people.

Tong Ming Peak was the gateway to the Luoxia training hall and its regulations were half a grid higher than those of ordinary peaks. It was not included in the Luoxia Mountains peak ranking, and it never recruits disciples. Almost all the disciples directly came from within the Six Mountains and Three Realms.

Ji Yuenian took a step towards the stone steps, but an invisible barrier gently pushed him back, he looked up at the palaces on the other side of the staircase and frowned slightly.

"Fellow Daoist, just now, barriers have been raised on the nine stone platforms, now it is impossible to go out."

A person from the early stage of the Xuan [Profound] Realm walked over and smiled at Ji Yuenian.
