Chapter 418 - Center God Province. Ascender Examination. (1/2)

Along the way, Emissary Li Qing and the others continued to chat with Zhou Xuanji, which attracted passersby’s attention.

The passersby did not know Zhou Xuanji and thought that he was a new disciple.

A new disciple that Emissary Li Qing fetched personally must have an impressive background.

Many people remembered Zhou Xuanji’s face to try to loop him in when they encountered him again in the future.

After walking for an hour.

Emissary Li Qing and the rest stopped before a flight of stairs at the foot of a gigantic mountain.

This flight of stairs had tens of thousands of steps, connecting them straight to the mountain shoulder where a massive palace stood. The main gate had a cauldron that was dozens of meters high, and three candles as thick as pillars were burning in it. The smell of incense pervaded the area.

“Go up. We cannot enter the palace,” Emissary Li Qing said with a smile. Zhou Xuanji nodded and brought Bai Suwan up the stairs.

This distance was nothing to him.

He did not walk quickly but ambled forward.

Bai Suwan looked around excitedly.

“Hey,” Zhou Xuanji asked, “Will your elders come to fetch you later?”

The Nine Heaven Divine Snake Clan was widely connected. The mortal realms that the clan members descend to were all under their influence so that it was convenient to take care of the members after they ascended.

Bai Suwan snorted, “I don’t want to go back. I want to follow you. You just arrived here and made so many enemies. I will protect you.”

Zhou Xuanji felt humorous. You are merely a Great Tribulation Scattered Immortal, and you want to protect me?

But he was still moved in his heart.

I did not teach you for a year for nothing.

He walked to the top of the stairs, and the main gate of the palace opened at the same time.

Three men and two ladies walked out. The men were handsome, and the ladies were elegant. They all looked very young, and they walked over as they talked and laughed with each other.

Noticing Zhou Xuanji, they came over to greet him.

“So, you are the new core disciple?” A bald young man said with a smile as he sized Zhou Xuanji up with his eyes.

The others had different expressions — Curious, disdain, and judgemental.

Zhou Xuanji could not see through their cultivation and was shocked in his heart.

These five people must be at least Fifth Revolution Golden Immortal and above.

“I just ascended, and I’m not sure what the Divine Cliff’s arrangement is,” Zhou Xuanji shook his head and said.

Having heard him, everyone was shocked.

“Since you can meet the Cliff Lord right after ascension, you must have the talent of a Great Emperor, and you must be at least Third Class,” the lady wearing a blue skirt uttered.

The other four became more curious about him.

It was much more difficult to become a Great Emperor in the Great Thousand World than in the mortal realm. It was not because of the difficulty of the Heavenly Law but because there were too many powerful cultivators who might assassinate you during your tribulation.

Moreover, those who became a Great Emperor in the mortal realm were invincible cultivators who had survived many trials and tribulations.

This was something that the sect and clan disciples in the Great Thousand World could not compare with.

With an elegant demeanor, Zhou Xuanji did not look like he had the aura of a Third Class Great Emperor.

“Let’s chat again when we meet.”

After these words, Zhou Xuanji left. It was apparent that the other five each had their own ideas, and these ideas might not be friendly.

He quickly walked into the main gate with Bai Suwan.

The five disciples looked at each other in astonishment.

“It seems like an awesome person arrived at the Divine Cliff,” the bald young man said intently.

After that, he left with a loud burst of laughter.

The other four disappeared as well.
