Tian Long's words silenced the crowd as they all held their breath, awaiting the following words.
The families of the 10 participants couldn't help but be filled with both excitement and anticipation, wishing that their respective representatives would be picked and become an official disciple of the Eternal Glory Sect.
Tian Long smiled and continued. "The following 4 disciples that will be accepted are the following: Long Wang, Long Xue, Chu Feng, andZhuang Yan."

The spectators were shocked, the supreme families were stunned, the powerful sects were flabbergasted.
The Lin Family members were shocked as well. Jian Chen and Lin Hui Yin were shocked as well but they recovered pretty soon since they know that their sect master had a different way of thinking.
After a while, a clamor started until it spread everywhere.
"No members from the supreme families were picked? Not even those from the prominent sects?" said someone within the crowd scornfully.
"Is the sect master of Eternal Glory playing with us? I agree that those four might be the apex of the younger generation in the Endless Forces but they have no credible background!" yelled an elder of a supreme family.
"I agree to that! The four of them might be incredibly rare geniuses but their backgrounds are totally ordinary! Why not pick someone like Shi Hong from the Supreme Shi Family? Or Su Xinyue from the Verdant Wood Sect?" shouted an unsatisfied young man.
"Now now, I'm sure that sect master Tian has his own reasons for doing so. We cannot fathom the mind of a monstrous apex genius like him." said a young maiden shyly.
"Indeed, I'm sure that young noble Tian has a good reason for picking the four of them." said a beautiful noble lady passionately.
"Cheh! Good reason? There better be one."
...
While the audiences were in an uproar, the 10 participants remained silent when they heard Tian Long's words.
Even though the ones that weren't picked were a bit indignant about the decision, they didn't dare show any unsatisfaction and disrespect in front of Tian Long.
Meanwhile, The Long twins and Zhuang Yan were surprised and elated that they were picked by Tian Long even though they didn't originate from a great background or influence. They knew that entering the Eternal Glory Sect would change their lives forever, of course, in a great way.
(Note: Long twins = Long Wang and Long Xue.)
Chu Feng was only a little bit surprised that he was picked despite his lowly background even if he had confidence in himself. He knew within his heart that this sect master of Eternal Glory Sect is definitely a transcendent person.
...
As the commotion within the crown started getting out of hand, the same clear and calm voice resounded everywhere.
"Enough!"
Everything suddenly went silent as nobody dared to speak any further. They respected and feared this mysterious and powerful sect master of the Eternal Glory Sect.
Tian Long then looked towards the other 6 participants and smiled.
(Note: Remember their names: Shi Hong, Li Kang, Han Gang, Su Xinyue, Yao Ya and Xiao Ning.)
"Are you all unsatisfied with the decision?" he asked.
Shi Hong, Li Kang, and the others looked at each other for a bit before replying in unison.
"No, we are not!"
Shi Hong then continued. "Simply the experience that we got from climbing the Celestial Stairway was already enough and the increase in our cultivation by a whole realm could be said to be an impossibly wondrous gift already."
The others nodded their heads to express their affirmation.
The increase in their cultivation by a whole realm was already an awe-inspiring gift that they couldn't really ask more.
Tian Long laughed and nodded his head. "Good, this answer doesn't disappoint me."
The other party all sighed in relief when they heard his words.
He continued. "However, your achievements definitely gave me a good surprise. You all didn't give up and continued climbing despite your low cultivation levels which could be said to be unbelievably hard. This is also why I will give you six a gift, which is a chance, a chance to enter and become official disciples of the Eternal Glory Sect.
As Shi Hong and the others heard Tian Long's words, they couldn't help but be proud of their achievements which were indeed incredible.
However, what truly shocked them was that they would also have a chance to enter the sect. This could be considered to be the greatest gift that they could receive since they knew that their future would simply be limitless once they enter the Eternal Glory Sect.
Their faces reddened as they held their breath, waiting for Tian Long's following words.
Tian Long smiled at their reaction and continued. "You could consider this chance as a challenge and another trial. To get the chance to enter the Eternal Glory Sect you all must complete the two following conditions. Firstly, you must enter the peak of Energy Refining Realm and second you must personally defeat 5,000 cultivators at the peak of Energy Refining Realm, try not to kill them if possible. You six will have a total of 3 years time to finish these two tasks."
Shi Hong, Su Xinyue and the others were shocked speechless when they heard the heaven-defying tasks that Tian Long proposed to them.
Achieve the cultivation of the peak of Energy Refining Realm within 3 years?! Hard, simply heaven-defyingly hard. And we even have to defeat 5,000 peak Energy Refining cultivators?! All in 3 years time?!
Before they could even voice their complaints, Tian Long cut them off.
"It's not just hard, its impossible hard! But that's exactly what I need of you six, I need you all to do the impossible and complete this two tasks. What I need in the Eternal Glory Sect are not just monstrously talented genius, I want those that are prepared to do the impossible and conquer them! The Eternal Glory Sect will eventually have the spotlight in this world and become an unrivaled force! Only those with the will and heart to defy the heavens can become a part of the sect!"
The 6 geniuses were stunned as their hearts were stirred and their blood left boiling with heroism as they continued listening.
They could feel Tian Long's indomitable and fearless heart as he spoke his words that were as if he was challenging not just the entire world but even the heavens itself.
He continued with a calm yet valiant, and fearless voice. "And with your talent and increased cultivation level, finishing this trial is definitely doable. It all just leads to one simple question. Do you have the will and heart to complete this challenge? Can you do the impossible and prove to the entire world that you all can be hailed as one of the peaks and apex geniuses of this generation, not just of the Endless Forces Continent, but instead, of the entire Boundless Heaven World."
