“It was by chance that I heard a certain senior expert mention it.”
“He said that entering the Lying Dragon Martial Sect is not only possible by being selected by the sect itself. If one is sufficiently outstanding, it is also possible to enter the Lying Dragon Martial Sect through a grand teleportation formation.”
“And the name of that teleportation formation is precisely the Lying Dragon Selection Formation.”
Chu Feng did not tell the truth. He mainly did not want to cause trouble for that old Daoist with the ox nose.
After all, this place was the Lying Dragon Martial Sect, a place filled with experts as numerous as clouds and unfathomably deep.
“Then what is the name of that senior expert you mentioned? Do you know?”
Elder Duan asked.
“I encountered that senior purely by coincidence. We knew each other for only a very short time. As for matters concerning that senior, this junior knows nothing.”
Chu Feng replied.
“Could it be someone from my Lying Dragon Martial Sect?”
Elder Duan seemed lost in thought, but he did not suspect too much. He then said, “The Lying Dragon Selection Formation does indeed exist.”
“If someone were to pass through the Lying Dragon Selection Formation, would it cause any unusual phenomena?”
Chu Feng continued to ask.
“According to the records of our sect, if someone passes the Lying Dragon Selection Formation, it will indeed cause unusual phenomena,” Elder Duan said.
“Senior, then is it possible that the phenomenon in the sky right now is not a great calamity at all, but rather the unusual phenomenon triggered by someone entering the Lying Dragon Martial Sect?” Chu Feng asked.
“Thinking too cleverly for your own good.”
Upon hearing Chu Feng’s words, Elder Duan sighed and shook his head, immediately denying Chu Feng’s guess.
“The unusual phenomenon caused by the Lying Dragon Selection Formation is far more spectacular than the scene we see now.”
“Moreover, no one has ever passed the Lying Dragon Selection Formation. If someone had passed it, the news would have spread throughout the Lying Dragon Martial Sect long ago. How could there still be no word about it today?” Elder Duan said.
“Since no one has ever passed it, how can Elder Duan be so certain that the phenomenon in the sky is definitely not caused by the Lying Dragon Selection Formation?”
Chu Feng asked very politely.
“Because the sect’s records were left behind by the founding ancestor. They cannot possibly be wrong.”
“Chu Feng, I can see that you are very clever. However, you should save that cleverness for proper matters. Do not make wild guesses about things that have nothing to do with you.”
“Right now, what you need to do is undergo the sect’s test. Only if your talent qualifies can you remain in the Lying Dragon Martial Sect and take a master to learn the arts.”
“If you cannot pass the test, your memories will be erased. Your name will also be written on the Lying Dragon Martial Sect’s list of abandoned disciples. You will never have the chance to enter the Lying Dragon Martial Sect again for the rest of your life.”
Elder Duan said.
Hearing this, Chu Feng gave a faint smile.
He was not making wild guesses. He simply wanted to confirm from Elder Duan’s mouth whether the current phenomenon in the sky had anything to do with him.
As for the so-called talent test, Chu Feng asked Elder Duan about it again later. In truth, the talent test was just an ordinary test of talent.
Although that mysterious existence had already informed Chu Feng that because his three souls and seven spirits were sealed, all of his abilities would be affected to some extent.
Even so, Chu Feng felt that with his own capabilities, participating in a talent test would not result in failure.
After all, his three souls and seven spirits were still within his body. Chu Feng understood his own specific condition. Given his current state, causing any major disturbance was probably extremely difficult.
But passing the talent test should not be hard.
Following Elder Duan forward, Chu Feng soon arrived at a large plaza.
This plaza was very spacious, and quite a number of people had already gathered there.
Those younger generation members came from various backgrounds. There were even demonic beasts among them. Some were full of confidence, while others appeared extremely nervous.
As for the elders, whether they were aged old men or those who looked middle-aged, they all wore the same attire as Elder Duan.
That attire indeed had the effect of concealing cultivation. Chu Feng could not see through the cultivation levels of those elders.
Among these elders, the fewest had brought at least one disciple, while some had brought as many as a dozen or more.
At this moment, those disciples were lining up to take the test.
The test consisted of three stone platforms.
The three stone platforms were inscribed respectively with the words “Will”, “Potential”, and “Veins”.
When one stepped onto a stone platform, the platform would release radiance, which would determine the level of talent.
Chu Feng observed that as long as one stepped onto the stone platform and it flashed with white light, one would pass.
If no light flashed, the person would be eliminated.
Although many disciples had gathered here, very few could step onto a stone platform and cause all three platforms to release white radiance.
“Everyone, come quickly and look. What rare guest has arrived?”
Before Chu Feng and Duan Liufeng had even landed, people had already turned their gazes toward them. Waves of discussion immediately followed.
“Oh, isn’t this Duan Liufeng?”
“Duan Liufeng, is this the so-called disciple who can become a Lying Dragon that you mentioned?”
“I don’t think much of this young man. Does someone like him really have the potential to become a Lying Dragon disciple?”
As soon as Duan Liufeng landed, quite a few elders gathered around. They appeared to be asking questions, but their words carried clear mockery.
Among them, one elder with a shrewd face and yellowish complexion was especially harsh in his ridicule of Duan Liufeng.
Worth mentioning was that this elder also had a younger generation member following behind him.
It was a demonic race youth dressed in luxurious clothes.
This person looked at Chu Feng with an arrogant and haughty expression, as though he considered himself superior to Chu Feng.
But Chu Feng saw through it with a single glance. This person’s cultivation was actually not strong. At least compared to Chu Feng, it was far too weak. He was merely a third-rank Venerable.
Although among the younger generation, this level of cultivation was already decent, when compared to Chu Feng, it was naturally vulnerable.
“Fellow elders, the reason I, Duan Liufeng, have not brought any disciples back is because I did not find anyone who suited my taste. I have never claimed that the disciple I, Duan Liufeng, chose would definitely become a Lying Dragon disciple.”
Elder Duan said.
“Oh, oh, oh, listen to those words. Everyone, come and see. This is the so-called disciple that Elder Duan spent three thousand years searching for before finally finding someone who suited his taste.”
“Elder Duan, you should remember this. It is fine if you do not select disciples for the sect, but since you have chosen one, you must choose someone suitable for the sect. To say something like ‘suiting your taste’, do you still deserve to be an elder of the Lying Dragon Martial Sect?”
The others mocked and ridiculed him, while the yellow-faced elder, with a face full of malice, began putting a big label on Elder Duan.
“This elder, who decided that the disciples selected must necessarily be suitable for the Lying Dragon Martial Sect?”
“If every disciple must be suitable for the Lying Dragon Martial Sect, then wouldn’t all the disciples here who fail the test be punished, and the elders who brought them back also be punished?”
Chu Feng could not help but speak up.
“Chu Feng, do not stir up trouble.”
Seeing this, Yu Sha, who had been silent for a long time, hurriedly spoke to dissuade him.
Dan Dan had instructed her to stop Chu Feng from causing trouble and not to let him provoke incidents.
Chu Feng had only just arrived. He had not even passed the test yet. It was clearly unwise to offend the elders here at this moment.
“Insolent brat, how dare you speak to me like that?”
“You are asking for a beating.”
Sure enough, the yellow-faced elder was not a kind person. Chu Feng had merely talked back, yet he immediately raised his hand and sent a palm strike blasting toward Chu Feng.
But the moment he made his move, Chu Feng let out a cold laugh.
Because with this attack, the elder’s cultivation level was finally revealed.
This yellow-faced elder was far weaker than Chu Feng had imagined. He was only a fourth-rank Supreme.
With such cultivation, even if Chu Feng’s own cultivation was sealed, he felt no fear at all.
At the same time, a question arose in Chu Feng’s mind.
The mysterious existence inside the Lying Dragon Selection Formation was so overwhelmingly powerful.
So why were the elders inside the Lying Dragon Martial Sect so weak?
