Disciple Selection Grand Ceremony
Jiang Yuqiong's physique was incomparably formidable!
The boundless innate purple qi had transformed him utterly.
Cultivating the Divine Elephant Prison-Suppressing Strength had pushed his body to a terrifying extreme!
Even so, as the ten divine wheels shattered one after another, unleashing ferocious power, cracks appeared across his flesh!
At this moment, he resembled a porcelain vessel covered in fractures, blood seeping from every inch of his body—an utterly horrifying sight!
Had anyone been present, they'd have been scared half to death!
After all, each divine wheel was intimately tied to a cultivator's being!
They were extensions of the body!
The most direct bridge to the energies of heaven and earth!
And he'd just crushed them!
What was this little guy trying to do?
Shattering all his divine wheels—didn't he know that could kill him?!
Sadly, no one witnessed this scene!
Yet Jiang Yuqiong pressed on without hesitation!
He commanded the ten divine wheels, smashing them together with relentless force!
"If you're not ruthless with yourself, you'll never know how great you can be!"
Jiang Yuqiong's lips trembled, searing pain coursing through his body!
Even his soul felt like it was tearing apart!
The divine wheels breaking sent his internal spiritual energy into chaos—the agony was beyond imagination!
But he forged ahead undeterred!
He pushed his power to the limit, grinding the ten wheels into fragments!
BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!
CRACK CRACK CRACK!!!
The ten wheels collided, unleashing a deafening roar!
Titanic force surged outward, splitting the earth and trembling the heavens!
The void there crumbled to dust!
Jiang Yuqiong's tiny body quaked, soon drenched in blood.
The scene was utterly terrifying!
Yet his eyes burned with unwavering resolve, holding fast!
An invincible path—was it ever easy?!
Without weathering storms, how could one break free and soar?
To forge his own Dao, he had to destroy and rebuild, remaking the world!
Jiang Yuqiong clung to his conviction!
A single divine wheel—that was the true pinnacle of this realm!
Merging all ten forged wheels into himself!
His body would become the sole divine wheel!
No bridge needed between him and the heavens and earth!
This was the ultimate method!
This was the final Dao!
If he succeeded, ten divine wheels would be nothing!
Jiang Yuqiong believed this path was viable!
But he also knew it carried immense peril!
One misstep, and he could lose his life!
"In a world like this, what's the point if I don't become invincible?!"
He murmured to himself.
Suddenly, his small figure leapt into the sky, plunging into the center of the ten divine wheels!
Boundless power surged toward his body, crushing down ferociously.
As Jiang Yuqiong poured his heart into cultivating this invincible path, Ancient Heaven Sect grew lively.
Several bustling cities around Liyang Domain teemed with people.
Outside the sect's gates, countless cultivators gathered to watch.
"BOOM!"
Massive carriages rumbled through the void, carrying groups of young boys and girls.
Ferocious beasts trod the air, each step igniting rune-lit ripples in the sky.
Powerful figures arrived, escorting their younger kin.
These hailed from notable factions, their presence striking.
"Ancient Heaven Sect's once-in-a-century disciple selection—we can't miss it!"
Many seasoned cultivators murmured.
Familiar faces met and chatted animatedly.
This was a grand event!
Ancient Heaven Sect had flung wide its gates, welcoming aspirants.
For major clans and sects, it was a rare chance!
After all, this sect had produced a Heavenly Emperor and a peak Saint Ancestor!
An irresistible draw!
Beyond the Holy Lands, noble houses, and divine dynasties, few could resist.
The Heavenly Emperor's alma mater—countless dreamed of cultivating there.
In a few days, the entrance trials would begin.
"So many people!"
A strong figure scanned the scene—figures dotted the void, crowds packed the ground in clusters, the air buzzing with excitement.
"This time, nearly ten million might come, but fewer than ten thousand will join Ancient Heaven Sect!"
"One in a thousand!"
Someone sighed.
This wasn't an ordinary one-in-a-thousand!
Those daring to test themselves here were no mediocrities.
The untalented would only embarrass themselves.
"Three days from now, the War Dragon Secret Realm opens. All candidates will enter!"
"Those who pass will become Ancient Heaven Sect disciples!"
A vast voice boomed across the heavens, heard by all.
"War Dragon Secret Realm! Ancient Heaven Sect's opening the War Dragon Secret Realm!"
A strong figure gasped.
Many had heard tales of the War Dragon Secret Realm.
Discovered centuries ago by the Frost Emperor.
After her ascension, she'd used her supreme powers to bring it back to Ancient Heaven Sect.
Rumors spoke of countless divine treasures and abundant spiritual plants within.
Some said it held a tomb, burying an ancient, transcendent figure!
And a shattered battlefield too.
Outsiders knew little more.
It belonged to Ancient Heaven Sect now.
"Don't dream too big! For the trials, Ancient Heaven Sect will have secured it tightly. Key areas will be off-limits!"
Someone sighed, yearning to explore.
Something brought back by the Frost Emperor was a rare marvel.
Fully excavated, it'd yield unimaginable gains.
But Ancient Heaven Sect had surely sealed off much with arrays and restrictions, opening only a small section for the youths' trials.
Outsiders had no chance to enter.
"Even a small area will hold decent opportunities."
"You kids better seize this chance!"
A clan elder's eyes gleamed.
Using the War Dragon Secret Realm, Ancient Heaven Sect wouldn't skimp—they'd leave treasures for the youths to find.
Who claimed them depended on fate and fortune!
The crowd settled in to wait.
Meanwhile, others prepared for something else.
"After the disciple selection, it's the Array Conference!"
"Let this old man see how far those old fogeys have come in their array skills over the years!"
A robed elder soared in, his garments etched with mysterious patterns—like evolving arrays, mesmerizing at a glance!
Behind him trailed a swarm of disciples, welcomed warmly into Ancient Heaven Sect.
Some recognized them—from the Mysterious Array Sect!
Another supreme sect!
They weren't here for the disciple selection, but for the Array Conference!
Array-focused cultivators and masters from across the Three Thousand Dao Domains had mostly arrived.
The place grew even livelier!
At the same moment, Jiang Yuqiong, in seclusion, reached a critical juncture.
