The ancient stone arc stood silently between the vast sky and earth, as if it had been there from the beginning of time. Beyond the stone arc, elites from all over the world watched the arc with burning gazes, and excitement filled their eyes. This ancient stone arc was the threshold before entering the Ancient Sky Palace. Only those who passed through the arc could enter the Ancient Sky Palace.

Time passed as the elites stared eagerly, then finally someone came forward and broke the silence. “Ha! Since everyone is being so cautious, then let us, the Mountain Moving Sect, have a fresh taste of the Dragon Entrance Gate!” Along with loud, echoing laughs, several rays shot up into the sky and stopped in mid-air, hovering in front of the Dragon Entrance Gate.

Everyone’s gazes were fixed upon them.

Mu Chen’s gaze followed them as they moved. At the very front of these gray-robed figures was a tall and muscular man in a gray shirt. Lines of glowing gray runes covered his skin, making him appear frighteningly heavy. It was as if he were not a person, but rather, a mountain standing tall.

A thought came to Mu Chen’s mind when he noticed this man. Lin Jie of the Mountain Moving Sect, Grade Nine Sovereign, Ranked 28th on the List of Powerhouse.

Lin Jie was not a mere nobody. To qualify for the List of Powerhouse was enough to speak for his fame on the Tianluo Continent.

Lin Jie would have been at the center of all spotlights if it were any other occasion. However, there were too many elites gathered there today, so the appearance of top individuals like Su Qingyin dimmed Lin Jie’s shine. However, there was nothing to question about his strengths.

Lin Jie emerged mid-air, his heated gaze fixed on the enormous ancient stone arc. He took a deep breath and hesitated no more. With a swift movement, he transformed into a shot of bright light aimed toward the stone arc.

No one could take their eyes off of him.

Shoosh!

Lin Jie appeared in front of the Dragon Entrance Gate under everyone’s gazes. Suddenly, a bright light swept out from the top of the gate. Brilliant light showered Lin Jie, and then he disappeared into the Dragon Entrance Gate.

Everyone watched as he disappeared, all waiting anxiously.

As the entire space fell silent, everyone held their gazes on the arc. The arc became quiet and still after sucking Lin Jie into it.

However, it did not remain silent for long.

Whoom! Whoom!

The ancient arc suddenly started to emit small noises of vibration, followed by a ray circulating above the stone arc. Mysterious glowing runes boiled on the arc.

Kachhhhh!

The door that had been tightly shut was now ajar. A bright ray of light sprayed out, and a vague struggling shadow appeared. It was Lin Jie who had appeared in the sky and charged abruptly into the Dragon Entrance Gate just now.

After Lin Jie emerged, the light swiftly condensed in front of him and then transformed into an ancient-looking medallion.

Shoosh!

Countless eyes turned immediately to the medallion, watching closely.

Mu Chen was also focused on the medallion when a green hawk appeared in the sky.

“It is the Green Hawk Medallion!”

The elites indeed had sharp eyes, and many of them cheered in excitement. Some of them were shaken a little, not because they were impressed with Lin Jie’s achievements, but because even with Lin Jie’s strength, he could barely qualify as a disciple of the Green Hawk.

According to the rankings, the Medallion of the Green Hawk was only considered a middle rank. Lin Jie was one of the top 30 elites. He could qualify as a core member and be given enormous investments in training in any force within the Tianluo Continent.

“Isn’t the appraisal to enter the Ancient Sky Palace too difficult?” Some of their faces turned green as they realized they qualified below Lin Jie and would probably only get a Medallion of the Wolves at best. That was the lowest rank in the Ancient Sky Palace.

“Seems like it will not be easy to be a disciple of the Dragon,” whispered Mu Chen with a stern expression after he exchanged gazes with Nine Nether.

“Don’t mention the disciple of the Dragon. I’m afraid that it will be difficult even just to get a Water Dragon Medallion. After all, the Ancient Sky Palace once ruled over the entire Tianluo Continent,” Nine Nether said with a helpless smile.

Mu Chen noded, but he wasn’t too surprised about all of this. With the Ancient Sky Palace’s reputation, even the most excellent elite might end up as an ordinary disciple. Only the very gifted and talented top individuals would excel in such a test.

Facing all the exclamations from the crowd, Lin Jie smiled bitterly as he looked at the Green Hawk Medallion hovering in front of him. He was seemingly displeased with the result of the assessment. However, when he thought of the challenges he had just gone through in the Dragon Entrance Gate, he could only let out a sigh.

Lin Jie extended his palm and held out the Green Hawk Medallion. The medallion instantly emitted green rays. The rays then embraced him and transformed into a glaring green array. The array seemed to be filled with countless spiritual rays. The rays faded away when the green light touched them, allowing Lin Jie to pass and disappear into the array.
