Chapter 120: Heavenly Origin Sect

Chapter 120: Heavenly Origin SectIn an extraordinary void, nine shadowy figures gathered amidst endless darkness, convening in secret under a heavy atmosphere. Each shadow held a sense of suspicion, uncertain why this gathering had been called.

One shadow spoke out, displeased, "What's so urgent that you've summoned us to this place? And Wu Yang—he's been growing far too arrogant lately, not even bothering to attend."

Another shadow, irritated, added, "If there's nothing crucial, just get on with it. I'm busy."

The others listened intently, yet no one else spoke until the shadow at the center finally spoke in a tense voice, "Wu Yang... is dead."

At these words, all shadows showed clear shock, even as mere outlines. One of them spoke in a shaky voice, "How is that possible? Wu Yang... that cockroach... is really dead?!"

The central figure nodded slightly before continuing, "I don't know all the details, but from what we've gathered, it appears that whoever killed Wu Yang possesses a power beyond that of a Dao Creator."

Everyone was stunned. "Beyond a Dao Creator?"

One shadow shook his head slowly, speaking in disbelief, "How can that be? Aren't we supposed to be the highest cultivators across all universes?"

No one could answer, and gradually, their voices faded into the darkness as each shadow left the meeting, bearing mixed emotions yet with some semblance of answers in mind. Sёarch* The NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

In the oldest and most powerful God Universe, known as the Heavenly Universe, a center of unparalleled power that held sway over countless universes, an important day was upon them: the Heavenly Origin Sect's disciple selection day. The Heavenly Origin Sect, the strongest sect in this universe, was one that everyone dreamed of joining. To be accepted as a disciple meant a future of power and dominance.

Today, the area surrounding the Heavenly Origin Sect was filled with a multitude of people from across the realms, all gathered with the same goal of joining this elite sect. Forces from various universes had come together, creating a sea of anticipation and excitement.

Amidst the lively crowd, a man stepped forth from the void with an aura so powerful that all eyes turned to him at once. Time seemed to halt in his presence. This man was Bai Wei, the primary elder of the Heavenly Origin Sect, one of the most powerful figures in the Heavenly Universe.

Floating in the air, Bai Wei surveyed the gathered masses before speaking in a commanding voice that reverberated throughout the universe. "Today marks the disciple selection for the Heavenly Origin Sect. Those who wish to join need only meet one requirement: be under a million years of age!"

His voice echoed across every corner of the universe, his presence causing many to shudder. Bai Wei continued, "All of you must undergo the test in the Heavenly Origin Sect's 100-Floor Tower. If you pass 30 floors, you will be accepted as a servant disciple. Passing 50 floors will earn you the rank of outer disciple, 70 floors for an inner disciple, and 90 floors for a true disciple. And if any among you can conquer all 100 floors... you will earn the right to challenge for the title of Holy Son!"

The silence after his announcement lasted only a moment before Bai Wei raised his hand, releasing a massive tower into the sky. It grew rapidly, its immense height blocking out the sun. All eyes looked up in awe, realizing this was the place where they would prove their worth.

Bai Wei's voice rang out once more. "Anyone ready to begin may fly into the tower. You have six hours. Use your time wisely. Begin!"

The moment Bai Wei finished, countless figures soared upward, heading straight into the 100-Floor Tower. Some hurried with determination, others with confidence. The number of entrants was vast, filling the sky with glowing trails of power as each rushed to take the test.

In just ten minutes, millions had already reached the 30th floor of the tower. Observers were astonished at their speed, yet to the elders of the Heavenly Origin Sect, it was still not impressive.

Bai Wei, overseeing the trials, returned to a rest area where other elders observed the proceedings. With a hint of interest, he asked, "Any promising seedlings?"

An elder nearby paused for a moment before responding with a neutral tone, "There are some... maybe ten thousand with potential. The rest, though, aren't particularly noteworthy."

Their conversation was calm; none of the elders seemed particularly excited, as they were accustomed to these trials and the results they typically produced.

Then, breaking the quiet, a young woman spoke urgently, "Look at that one!"

Everyone in the room turned to the image on the wall that displayed the test results, each curious about what anomaly had caught her attention. She pointed to a man racing through the tower at a shocking speed.

Bai Wei focused intently on the image, his expression shifting to genuine interest. The man in the projection appeared ordinary, without any striking features or aura. Yet his incredible speed in ascending the floors was something that could not be ignored.
