Sang Nan casually stood in front of everyone, and said in a clear voice: "I believe you all are aware that Yuxu Sect only accepts a hundred disciples every year. In other words, the three hundred of you will be eliminated after this trial. This time's assessment lasted more than a month and was divided into five parts. Each part was meant to prepare the ground for the final competition. If you fail to pass one of these, it will affect the rest of the exams. This was to say, as long as one of them failed, then it would be considered elimination. Do you understand? "
Shang Zifeng and Shang Ziyu were perturbed when they heard it. They thought that they wouldn't be able to stand out amongst the three hundred people, but they weren't willing to give up.
Since he had reached this step, he had to persevere on no matter what.
In comparison to the two brothers' nervousness, Dongfang Li didn't mind.
In his opinion, this sort of test was just a trick to coax children. Passing was an easy task.
Sang Nan saw that everyone had different expressions. Some were excited, some were nervous, and some were expressionless.
He could not help but hiss in relief. He raised his hand and waved it in the air.
At that time, the surface of the Compendium Pavilion would glow with a golden light, as resplendent as a celestial jade pavilion.
Under the lead of the golden light, the doors of the Compendium Pavilion slowly retreated to the sides, creating a screen of illusory light.
When the door was opened, the crowd could clearly see the elegant and peaceful scene inside through the barrier.
There were more than a dozen bookshelves lined up in rows. The surface of the bookshelves was covered with exquisite carvings and the decorative patterns shone with a brilliant luster.
Every book on it was like a treasure from the immortal realms. It was incredibly sacred and clean without a speck of dust.
Seeing this, all the disciples could not help but exclaim in admiration. What a leader of the sect, Yuxu Sect! What a mighty library!
Sang Nan was satisfied with their reaction. He raised his hand and guided the crowd: "Everyone follow me in."
With that, the senior brothers from the four great sites led the way and entered the library.
After everyone had entered, the door of the Compendium Pavilion closed and the golden light disappeared.
Only now did they realize that the interior of the Compendium Pavilion was actually another scene.
When they were outside the Compendium Pavilion, the crowd was only able to see a small corner of the pavilion. Even though it was just a small corner, it was enough to make them go insane.
But now, they could no longer be described as crazy.
How could this be the Compendium Pavilion? This was a completely different world.
Right!
It was a world, a world of books.
These books seemed to have been infused with life, as if they were living spirits.
They were flying, jumping, chasing, and playing around in the air above the library.
If you close your eyes and listen, you can hear their laughter.
There were naughty voices, childish voices, quiet voices, funny voices, and even irritable voices.
When they felt all of this, they all thought the same thing: How amazing!
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have imagined that books could still have a life!
Sang Nan took note of everyone's surprise.
He slightly pursed his lips and said with pride, "Actually, there are many miraculous things in this world. What you all have seen is only a drop in the ocean, a drop in the ocean."
As he spoke, he pressed down with both hands, using his actions to calm the surging emotions in everyone's hearts.
After everyone had calmed down, he continued, "The first stage of the assessment is to condense true energy. If you want to practice the Yuxu Sect's martial arts, you must first learn how to control your own true qi. "
Sang Nan held out his right hand and a rainbow light flashed across his palm. A book that glowed with a green light appeared in his hand.
Seeing that, Sang Nan's eyes became serious, he threw the book upwards, following that, he chanted the incantation, causing the green light to expand, and all the palm-sized words started to appear in the air, filling everyone's eyes.
"As everyone knows, the Yuxu Sect is a sword arts sect, and the Heavenly Dipper Sword Technique and Seven Star Sword Formation are also renowned throughout the world. They are the supreme skills of the Yuxu Sect. However, if he wanted to use this sword art, he would need a special technique. I think I don't need to explain this reasoning to everyone! And right now, what is displayed in front of you is the [Absolute Beginning Heavenly Dipper Incantation] that you are about to cultivate. In the Yuxu Sect, all of the martial arts techniques required this technique to be activated. In other words, in order to learn the supreme techniques of the Yuxu Sect, one must first learn how to activate the Absolute Beginning Heavenly Dipper Incantation. Therefore, your first examination will be to condense the scarlet profound energy using the Absolute Beginning Heavenly Dipper Incantation within half a month. As long as you can condense it, it will be considered as a pass. "
Regarding the Absolute Beginning Heavenly Dipper Incantation, the highest requirement is to be able to cultivate up to the seventh stage.
In other words, only when one reached the seventh stage of the Absolute Beginning Heavenly Dipper Incantation would one be able to condense and produce the seventh stage of profound energy.
And the corresponding profound energy color, from low to high, was: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Green, Blue and Purple.
Red was a primary color, and as the Absolute Beginning Heavenly Dipper Incantation level gradually increased, the level of profound energy would increase by a scale, and the color would change accordingly.
When the profound energy was purple, it would reach the highest level.
In the Yuxu Sect, other than the Sect Leader, no one else had reached the level of purple profound energy.
It could be seen how difficult it was to reach the seventh stage of the Absolute Beginning Heavenly Dipper Incantation.
And this ranking was only for the Yuxu Sect sect.
After all, each sect had different mental cultivation methods, and their levels and even the color of their mystical Qi were different.
However, the division of realms can be limited by illegal formulas.
Millions of years ago, Pan Gu split open the sky and created the earth, eventually transforming his body into the mountains and rivers of the sun and moon, creating the land of the nine prefectures.
The clan of Fuxi, the Divine Dragon, and the Flamephoenix was born as a result.
When the heaven and earth opened, the divine arts had yet to take shape. There were only three races left in the world: man, dragon, and phoenix.
The Divine Dragons were under the command of Great God Fuxi to rule the world, while the Flamephoenix had been married to the Dragons for generations, continuing the bloodline of the Dragon and Phoenix.
The Nine Prefectures was set. Fuxi and Nuwa resided in Fengzhou (currently the northern region of the Tong Zhou), and each gave birth to four children.
However, at that time, the world in the Nine Regions was not perfect. Reversing the sun and moon, reversing the flow of the river, and four seasons were all happening at the same time.
In order to put the world on the right track, Fuxi and Nuwa continued to use the "Pangu stone".
The monolith was erected above the ninth heaven for the purpose of cultivating the true gods. It was so that their later generations could become Creation Gods like them, and do their duty to protect the land of the Nine Prefectures.
And this tablet was the Divine Seal Altar.
From then on, every time a mortal successfully transcended a tribulation, they would receive the decree of heaven and earth, and their names would be engraved on the Divine Seal Altar, becoming a new generation of Supreme Immortals.
On the day one's merits are accumulated, one can become a god.
Among them, the ones that people were most interested in were Fuxi's fourth son: his eldest son, Xi Zhong, his second son, Uncle Xi, his third son, Zhong, his fourth son, and his uncle.
They had eventually cultivated to the True Fruit in their entire lives, succeeding in cultivating to the fourth hour in succession, allowing the stars in the Nine Prefectures to rise and fall in an orderly fashion.
As for the so-called realm, it was the level of cultivation that Fuxi had set for mortals.
Fuxi used his divine power to inscribe it on the Divine Seal Altar, using a Daoist magic of the Mysterious Gate so that mortals could follow the instructions on the Divine Seal Altar and reach the Spirit Realm and achieve immortality.
The realms were divided into seven levels: Taichu Stage, Kuiying Stage, Wuchong Stage, Water Divide, Great Perfection of the Tao Technique, and Tao Break Stage.
Once a mortal had stepped into the Tao Break Stage, they could use nine days of burning thunder to extradite the divine tribulation.
If he could cross it, he could shed his mortal body and ascend to the Immortal Realm.
Millions of years had passed, yet people had forgotten that ancient legend.
However, the division of realms seemed to become a law of the world.
Every time a person cultivated to one of the realms, they would be able to feel their own transformation.
No one would be able to explain why such a change had occurred, only its symbolic rights and honour.
Thus, in the past three thousand years, no one had successfully transcended the tribulation.
Gradually, the word 'tribulation' faded from people's sight as if it had vanished from the face of the earth.
The only thing that remained was the "Tao Break Stage".
The concept of the superficial, and this state of being brought about by the same longevity and immortality of the myth.
