A Fairy boat was traveling through a sea of clouds.

Chu Kuangren was sitting with his legs crossed on deck with three of his protectors sitting around him. Daoist Rhymes were circulating around the four of them.

The four of them were mentally sparring together!

An Honorable Supreme and two Honorables were mentally sparring with Chu Kuangren!

Not long after, the Daoist Rhyme was retracted along with the countless Transformations which filled up the skies around them.

“I have a feeling that my Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique is at the final step before it can break through to another level. However, I feel that this last step is too hard to breakthrough.”

Chu Kuangren said.

The Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique was already a Sage Ruler Technique.

Another step of progress further and it would be a legendary Emperor Technique. That was an indomitable technique that could only be developed by those in the Emperor Realm.

“The Emperor Technique has actually existed for a long time. However, as the Emperors faded away one by one, the inheritance of their techniques have also broken off as well. As of now, an Emperor Technique hasn’t been seen throughout tens of thousands of years.” the Seventh Forefather said frustratingly.

Although this was an Era of Great Battles and the Great Dharma Emergence, where the Road to Emperor’s Realm has reopened, techniques like the Emperor Technique were long gone due to a break in their line of inheritance.

The cultivators of this era would have to rediscover everything from the start.

“It’s alright. Emperor Techniques are developed by men after all. If the Emperors of Old could do it, then there’s no reason that we can’t.”

The three protectors gazed at each other with impressed looks.

Possessing superb poise, deeply refined Daoist understanding, a Daoist core that was as solid as a rock, as well as an indomitable and unyielding spirit…

From their perspectives, Chu Kuangren was a natural cultivator indeed.

He was born to stand on top of the precipice among everyone.

“Bachelor Sage, which orthodoxy shall we head to next?”

The School of White Lotus’s Protector, Honorable Qing Lan asked curiously.

“Let’s head to the Dharma Sect then,” Chu Kuangren replied.

The Dharma Sect was daring enough to pride itself on its possession of?ten thousand¹?techniques. Naturally, the cultivation techniques within that sect were countless and none of the other orthodoxies in the Azure Dragon Domain could ever hope to compete with that.

Some even compared that if all the cultivation techniques under the skies were to be written into a series of books with ten volumes, then the Dharma Sect alone would take up eight out of the ten volumes of books for its techniques. It was obvious that the Dharma Sect had vast amounts of techniques.

Since Chu Kuangren wanted to perfect his Daoist techniques, a visit to the Dharma Sect was definitely a must.

…

In a city located at the foothills of the Dharma Sect’s mountain.

Since the city was backed by a sage orthodoxy like the Dharma Sect, it became very prosperous. Countless cultivators who came from different parts of the world gathered there.

Both Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu had arrived at that city but decided to take a day’s rest. They only planned to visit the Dharma Sect tomorrow personally.

“Hey, the disciples from the Dharma Sect are recruiting people in public.”

“I’ll go take a look then.”

“Since the sage orthodoxy is recruiting, I better go and take a look too.”

All of a sudden, the cultivators on the street were headed towards a certain direction, turning the originally hustling street to a quieter one instead.

Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu exchanged gazes as they too were curious.

“Hey, Lan Yu, let’s go and see for ourselves.”

Chu Kuangren was very interested, so he brought Lan Yu to the central square of the city and that place was already jam-packed with people by the time they arrived.

There were a few stone pillars in the central square. Each of them was engraved with numerous mysterious runes and inlaid with nine pieces of gemstones.

While a long queue was formed in front of the stone pillars, dozens of disciples from the Dharma Sect could be seen managing the crowd and order there.

“Alright, next,” one of the Dharma Sect’s disciples announced.

A cultivator was seen walking towards the stone pillar before he placed his hand on it and the gemstones on the stone pillars gradually lit up one by one. One… Two…

A total of four gemstones turned bright.

The cultivator had a disappointed look on his face when he saw that.

“Four Stars, you’re unqualified. Please leave.”

The Dharma Sect’s disciple said with an indifferent tone.

Chu Kuangren then stood behind the crowd and took a few observations. He noticed that most of the cultivators could only light up three or four gemstones.

Only those who could light up five of more gemstones were qualified to be recruited.

However, that was just the first trial of their recruitment process.

“This pillar, what kind of item is this?” Chu Kuangren asked curiously.

“This is a type of treasure item which has been specifically developed by the Dharma Sect to test a cultivator’s qualification.” That time, a voice suddenly came from beside Chu Kuangren.

A young man in a white robe walked to Chu Kuangren and chuckled. “This item separates the qualifications of all the sky-prides in the world into nine categories. Only the top-tiered cultivators can light up seven or even eight gemstones upon that pillar.”

“Those with a weak qualification can most probably only light up one gemstone.”

The young man in white robe explained passionately.

“If that’s the case, aren’t four stars considered not bad then?”

Chu Kuangren said.

“You’re right. People with four-star qualifications can be deemed a young genius within some Honorable Orthodoxies. But too bad that joining the Dharma Sect isn’t so easy. The disciples who are recruited into the Dharma Sect must at least be able to light up five gemstones.”

“Besides, qualifications are only the first trial in the recruitment process. The later trials focus on different aspects like Daoist understanding, Daoist core, and more. The requirements in this process are very strict.”

The young man in white robe seemed to be very well versed in the trials that were conducted by the Dharma Sect. It was as if he was explaining the items he had at home. Even Chu Kuangren could not help but look at him attentively.

He then used the Eye of Revelation.

“Su Tianyi, a disciple of the Dharma Sect, cultivation level – Paradise Realm, cultivated Sage Technique – Sixfold Order Eightfold Chaos Technique, cultivated Sage Technique – Transcendent Coalescence…”

A look of surprise was revealed in Chu Kuangren’s eyes.

That guy was a disciple of the Dharma Sect and with the Eye of Revelation’s analysis, his combat strength could be said to be on par or if not stronger than Yuanhong as well.

“Fellow Daoist, you must be here for recruitment right? Come, there’s no need to trouble yourself waiting in that line of the queue. I’ll take you to the test immediately.”

Su Tianyi dragged Chu Kuangren towards the front of the crowd.

Even Chu Kuangren was dazed.

When did he ever say he wanted to take the test?

“Fellow Daoist, I…”

“It’s fine, I know you don’t want to cut queues, but I’m the one in charge of this station. There’ll be no problem if it’s fine with me.” Su Tianyi immediately interrupted Chu Kuangren’s sentence with a ‘don’t worry, let me handle it’ look.

Not waiting for Chu Kuangren to say anything more, he dragged both of them in front of the stone pillar. He said as he looked towards another fellow disciple, “Let them have a try first.”

“Yes, of course.”

The other disciple nodded and was instantly marveled when he saw both Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu. ‘What the heck, these two are just too attractive.’

Some people in the crowd were unsatisfied upon seeing that someone was cutting the queue. However, once they took a look at Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu, that dissatisfaction immediately disappeared and turned to marvel.

“Where did these two come from? They do seem very extraordinary to me.”

“Tsk, having special treatment because of their good looks huh.”

“Damn this world that prioritizes one’s appearance…”

…

“Go ahead, fellow Daoist,” the Dharma Sect’s disciple said.

Chu Kuangren looked at the stone pillar and hesitated for a while before he put out his hand. He was also curious as to how many gemstones he could light up.

Yet the moment he placed his hand on the stone pillar, he felt a surge of energy release from the stone pillar and swept through his whole body.

Following that, the gemstones on the pillars lit up one by one.

One, two, three, four, five…

“I see, it is as I expected. My fellow Daoist brother, you already have an amazingly gorgeous appearance, so I bet your qualifications wouldn’t be too bad either.”

Su Tianyi looked like he had expected it.

However, his expression immediately turned into astonishment.

That was because all nine gemstones had lit up on the stone pillar just as he was done speaking. ‘A nine-star qualification?’

The nine pieces of gemstones radiated brightly, attracting the gazes of everyone in the crowd. Shocked exclamations were soon heard, one after another.

“Bloody hell, a nine-star qualification! Qualifications like this have not existed within the Dharma Sect for far too many years! This is just too shocking and amazing!”

“This is not a matter of how many years, but instead, it dates back to the time where this stone test pillar was invented by the Dharma Sect long ago. Ever since then, no one has been able to light up all nine gemstones!”

“My God, who the hell is this person?”

“I can’t believe it’s nine pieces of gemstones. What a terrifyingly strong qualification this is!”
