Chapter 2600: Long Peng and Feng Jiu (1/2)
Along the way, Huang Xiaolong heard a lot of similar discussions.
In the Holy World, the Holy Heavens didn’t care about when disciples tried to enter the organization. It was the reason why everyone could choose to take the test when they were ready. However, the Otherworldly Mansion was different. There was only a certain period of time they were willing to accept disciples.
A hundred thousand years ago, the Otherworldly Mansion had only accepted a batch of disciples every hundred years. However, the great battle between the Alien Lands and the Holy World was looming, therefore, they had quickly changed their rules. Now, the selection would take place every ten years.
In the past, even disciples with saint godheads ranked in the top hundred had chances to fail to enter the mansion! They had to pass through a series of tests! But right now, they accepted anyone whose saint godhead ranked in the top one hundred!
One could easily see that their standards had been lowered.
Of course, even True Saint Realm experts could apply to enter the mansion.
As soon as they passed the test, True Saints would receive better treatment than disciples in the Venerable or half-True Saint Realm no matter how talented they were.
After staying in the Ice Lightning Holy Grounds for two more days, Huang Xiaolong continued on his way towards the heart of the Otherworldly Mansion.
As soon as he entered, he went straight towards the main hall.
The main hall of the Otherworldly Mansion was humongous, and it was as large as the Cangqiong Holy Grounds if he really wanted to compare sizes. When he arrived, giant flying ships hung high in the skies. There were more than a hundred of them, and all of them were surprisingly saint artifacts!
Huang Xiaolong sucked in a cold breath when he thought about it. Could they all belong to the Otherworldly Mansion? After all, the insignia of the mansion was carved into the body of every ship.
It was impossible to make a fake insignia as one needed a special method developed by the Otherworldly Mansion in order to create the insignia.
Turning his attention away from the holy ships, Huang Xiaolong noticed that the Otherworldly Mansion was bustling with much more activity compared to the Holy Heavens. Since they only accepted disciples once every ten years, it made sense.
He saw members of all races streaming about, and there were some who rode on True Saint Realm mounts, and there were also some who rode in carriages. There were also a scant few who flew through the air on flying swords.
After half a day of observation, Huang Xiaolong noticed many Seventh Heaven True Saints, and there were several Eighth Heaven True Saints as well. The only ones who failed to turn up were Ninth Heaven True Saints.
It didn’t matter if he was in the Holy World or the Alien Lands, Ninth Heaven True Saints were rare existences.
He also noticed that there were a very few humans running about. Even if there were, they would be following behind the experts of the Alien Race.
As the only human standing beside a jet-black figure, Huang Xiaolong stood out like a sore thumb.
“I’ve heard that Longpeng of the Flying Heaven Race is planning to take part in the selection!”
“What?! Longpeng?! Doesn’t he have a godhead ranked in the top ten?! I wonder if it’s real… If it’s true, the Flying Heaven Race might welcome its third Primal Ancestor in the future! I’m afraid that the Flying Heaven Race will no longer remain in its current spot!”
Longpeng of the Flying Heaven Race?!
Huang Xiaolong’s heart trembled.
The strength of the Flying Heaven Race used to rank second among the royal races of the Alien Lands. However, ever since the disappearance of their first patriarch, they had fallen back into the top twenties. If Longpeng really managed to ascend into the Primal Ancestor Realm, the Flying Heaven Race could climb the ranks once again!
Even if they failed to regain their original spot, they would at the very least be ranked fifth.
“Longpeng isn’t the only one here! Feng Jiu of the Fiery Phoenix Race is here to register!”
“What?! Feng Jiu?!”
