Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 876 - 875: Tianyin Tier Ten

When swordsmen meet, it's natural for them to compare themselves, especially since Chu Ming is a Sealed Saint Level genius like Li Ke of the Waterless Sword.

As time gradually passed, another Sealed Saint Level genius appeared besides Chu Ming.

It was Meng Lang!

Meng Lang, who was not particularly tall, had dark skin and stood on the Saint King Platform, occasionally showing a silly smile. But this seemingly ordinary young man was a Sealed Saint Level genius, capable of smashing the Desolate Beast Puppet with a single punch.

After half a day, the assessment on the nine Saint King Platforms entered the final stage, with only a few geniuses left who hadn't participated.

Up in the clouds, outside the Nine Elements Dao Palace, the Vice Palace Master of the Outer Palace, Li Shang, gently stroked his beard and showed a satisfied smile.

"The quality of geniuses participating in the assessment this time is much higher than last time. Hopefully, they can gain something in the Ancient Yuan Illusion Realm!"

"Is the Palace Master actually arranging this year's newcomer battle in the Ancient Yuan Illusion Realm?"

Upon hearing Li Shang's words, the Elder next to him immediately showed a shocked expression.

The Nine Elements Dao Palace commands all sects in the Celestial Net Star Realm, controlling almost ninety percent of its cultivation resources. Naturally, it possesses countless secret realms used for the training of palace disciples.

According to their danger levels, these secret realms are divided into five levels: Simple, Ordinary, Difficult, Purgatory, and Nightmare. The Simple secret realms are most common, almost zero danger, but also hold the least treasures. Over the years, the Nine Elements Dao Palace disciples have explored nearly all Simple secret realms, with treasures largely depleted.

As for Ordinary level secret realms, Outer Palace disciples face a mortality rate of over thirty percent. Remember that entering the Nine Elements Dao Palace means even Outer Palace members are at least Sealed Marquis geniuses, undefeated in their own small star systems. Yet there's still a thirty percent mortality rate, showing the danger of Ordinary secret realms. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Regarding the last three levels, Difficult and Purgatory are places for Inner Palace disciples, while Nightmare level secret realms are explored by Core Disciples.

The Ancient Yuan Illusion Realm is an Ordinary level secret realm, where even ordinary Outer Palace disciples face a thirty percent mortality rate, not to mention these geniuses newly entered into the Nine Elements Dao Palace without practicing its Secret Techniques. This Elder estimates their mortality rate might be over fifty percent.

Usually, every newcomer battle in the Nine Elements Dao Palace is held in a Simple level secret realm, and this time is an exception.

"The Palace Master has no other choice. Jiu Xuan's influence is growing too fast in the palace. If an unmatched genius isn't found to oppose her, the position of Palace Master might change within a century!"

Li Shang glanced at Elder Tian Ji, speaking calmly.

Elder Tian Ji's figure trembled, and he sighed lightly.

Where there are people, there's bound to be conflict, not to mention a Third Grade force like the Nine Elements Dao Palace, which has been around for hundreds of eras, eternally unbroken. No matter if it's the Inner Palace or the Outer Palace, relationships are extraordinarily complex.

Currently, the main problem for the Nine Elements Dao Palace is faction conflicts. Now, the palace is split into two factions: one led by Jiu Xuan, and the other led by the Palace Master.

Jiu Xuan, a Sealed Emperor Level genius of the Nine Elements Dao Palace, ranks top ten in its history in terms of talent. Although she's currently just a Core Disciple, her true combat strength surpasses some Inner Palace Elders. The most important part is, she has the support of the palace's Ancestral Level figures.

Jiu Xuan is a true prodigy, respected throughout the Nine Elements Dao Palace, comparable to the Inner Palace Master. Half of the Inner Palace Elders have secretly sided with her.

The current Palace Master, Yuan Bujing, though a Divine Dao expert, is only in the First Layer of the Divine Dao realm. Yuan Bujing's talent isn't weak, but compared to Jiu Xuan, he is considered mediocre, and the First Layer of the Divine Dao realm is nearly his martial limit.

Thus, many ancestors suggest Yuan Bujing should retire and let Jiu Xuan lead the Nine Elements Dao Palace; within a century, she could elevate the palace to new heights.

Yuan Bujing naturally objects to this, luckily half the ancestors believe Jiu Xuan's cultivation is still low and not enough to stand alone. Therefore, the suggestion is dismissed.

Yet in about a hundred years, Jiu Xuan will likely reach the Divine Dao realm, and by then, Yuan Bujing's retirement will be inevitable.

Therefore, Yuan Bujing seeks a young genius in the Celestial Net Star Realm to oppose Jiu Xuan, pulling them into his faction to prevent being too passive.

However, Sealed Emperor Level geniuses are exceedingly rare, and over the years, Yuan Bujing has found nothing. This newcomer battle in the Ancient Yuan Illusion Realm aims to find talents for his use.

"That humor of the ghost cat girl is nice, but unfortunately, she still falls short of countering Jiu Xuan."

Li Shang stated flatly. He has seen Jiu Xuan more than once, and each time he witnesses her, he's left astounded. Her skill enhancement is rapid and unprecedented!

Dong dong dong!

Suddenly, the sound of dense chimes echoes through the heavens and the earth; the golden glow on the Saint King Platforms fades slowly.

Swish!

"The first round of assessments is over. Those who passed the first round may stay on the Saint King Platform, and the rest please leave!"

From the Sixth Saint King Platform, the proctor flew into the air and spoke indifferently.

Simultaneously, a similar scenario unfolds on the other Saint King Platforms.

"Finally heading into the second round of talent detection, truly exciting!"

"In the past, detecting talent involved the Sacred Artifact Tian Yin Ten Tiers. I wonder how it will be tested this time?"

"I guess they will still use Tian Yin Ten Tiers; it's detailed in detection and simple in method!"

Bang!

As the others started to discuss, each Saint King Platform's proctor waved his right hand, and a colorless cylinder as thick as a human appeared on the platform.

"This is the instrument used for the second round of talent detection, Tian Yin Ten Tiers!"

"Given the large number of geniuses this time, the palace has adjusted the talent recruitment standards. This time, only those who can change the Tian Yin Ten Tiers to Yellow Tier Seven can join the Nine Elements Dao Palace!"

As soon as the proctor finished speaking, the Saint King Platform erupted in chatter, and many young geniuses' faces changed, turning ashen pale.

The Tian Yin Ten Tiers possesses seven colors: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Purple. Each color has tiers from One to Ten. Tier One is the lowest, Tier Ten is the highest!
