168: Core disciple assessment mission? Seeking immortal realm...

After arranging the people who came to congratulate Chen De, Chen De immediately went to find the Inner Sect Elder to apply to become a core disciple.

After finding the Inner Sect Elder, he verified Chen De's qualifications to become a core disciple. After the verification, he informed Chen De that his application for assessment had been submitted, but the results were not immediately available.

This made the Inner Sect Elder feel a bit confused. Logically, the results and assessment tasks should have been given on the spot. Why was it so slow this time?

However, according to the rules of Qiu Xian Hall, results must be provided within three hours.

So, he told Chen De to come back for the results in three hours.

Considering that Chen De's current room was still queued with people, it might be inconvenient for Chen De to return now.

What if Chen De went back and everyone made him queue up too?

That was for Chen De to give back to everyone. If Chen De got involved again, what would that look like?

Chen De simply waited there until the results came out.

So, Chen De waited there for three hours.

Three hours meant exactly three hours, not a minute more, not a minute less.

The Inner Sect Elder received the report: core disciple qualifications met, assessment task unknown, follow arrangements in half a month.

Seeing this, not only Chen De felt confused, but the Inner Sect Elder was also somewhat puzzled.

However, since the assessment task had already been issued, all Chen De could do now was wait for half a month and follow the arrangements.

But Chen De really had nothing else he could do right now.

Go back?

Chen De originally thought he wouldn't need to go back, so he had cut off his retreat.

Now that he thought about it, he was a bit too impulsive at the time.

But in the final analysis, it was Chen De's strong desire to give back to everyone's kindness that led to his goodwill ultimately triumphing over his rationality.

After thinking for a moment, Chen De decided to take a stroll around the Seeking Immortality Realm, which was the true base camp of Qiu Xian Hall.

In Qiu Xian Hall, as long as one reached the level of an Inner Sect Disciple, one was qualified to go to the Seeking Immortality Realm.

Chen De's current level, even without promotion, was completely sufficient.

He wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of small world Qiu Xian Hall controlled.

The Seeking Immortality Realm might be the third world Chen De was about to step into.

So, Chen De arrived at the entrance portal of the Seeking Immortality Realm.

On the surface, only a few Inner Sect Disciples were guarding it.

But in reality, according to Chen De's system map, at least three Void Union Realm powerhouses were watching nearby.

The importance of this Seeking Immortality Realm portal to Qiu Xian Hall was self-evident.

How could they only send a few minor characters to guard it?

Some might wonder, if that's the case, what's the use of these gate-keeping disciples?

Because checking passing disciples... do those Void Union Realm elders have to personally do such trivial matters?

A majestic Void Union Realm staying here all day to do such things?

Which bank manager personally guards the vault every day and is responsible for withdrawing money?

Next, Chen De followed the procedure, verifying his qualifications and identity.

After completing these things, the gate-keeping disciples allowed Chen De to pass.

In fact, their part was the simplest.

If there were truly foreign enemies attacking, after passing this gate, the inside would be the main event.

Ren Changhao had previously traveled to and from the Seeking Immortality Realm many times, so he was naturally very familiar with these procedures.

And Chen De inherited Ren Changhao's memories; everything he knew, Chen De knew.

Stepping into the spatial portal, Chen De seemed to merge into space, disappearing from the scene.

The space gently rippled once, then returned to calm.

The gate-keeping disciples continued to stand guard there, checking incoming and outgoing personnel.

After crossing the spatial portal, Chen De first arrived at an enclosed open space.

Chen De, of course, knew what surrounded him.

Those were various killing, confining, sealing, resisting... formations set up by Qiu Xian Hall to encircle this entrance.

These formations were constantly activated and kept in a fully charged state.

Once someone attempted to break through here, they would immediately be subjected to a series of attacks from these formations.

According to the Hall Master's principle of guarding the realm gate, the Hall Master's location and the residences of the elders were right next to the entrance.

For Qiu Xian Hall, what they needed to guard against was never the natives of the Seeking Immortality Realm, but the profound practitioners from the Four Profound Heavens.

When Chen De arrived here, his aura immediately weakened.

This was a typical repulsive effect of foreign world laws.

When people from other worlds come here, they will experience obvious repulsive effects, such as suppression of strength, due to the different laws of their original world and this world.

Chen De had always known about this.

But when Chen De was on the Xuanzhe Continent, he didn't feel any law repulsion.

Everything felt similar to when Chen De was in the Four Profound Heavens.

Originally, Chen De thought the Xuanzhe Continent might be special, after all, in a vast world, there are all sorts of wonders.

But now that he had come to the Seeking Immortality Realm, he still didn't feel anything special.

Chen De speculated, what was the fundamental difference between himself and other existences in the Four Profound Heavens?

Evil God Essence!

This thing made Chen De immune to world repulsion and law repulsion.

After all, the description of Evil God Essence was the combination of the opposite of all things.

It seemed to be naturally opposed to everything in the world, no matter what world or what existence.

It was as if Chen De's compatibility with everything was zero.

This resulted in Chen De's compatibility with any world also being zero.

Because zero was already the lowest, it couldn't get any lower.

Therefore, Chen De was equally repelled by every world.

So, there was no so-called foreign world law repulsion on Chen De.

For Chen De, every world was a 100% repulsive foreign world.

However, this conclusion, of course, falls apart on its own.

Who is Chen De? The ceiling of morality!

These worlds are all waiting for Chen De to benefit them.

When Chen De goes to those worlds, they are happy and welcoming; how could they repel Chen De?

Even if there might be a tiny bit of repulsion due to the Evil God Essence, it would be completely offset by Chen De's morality.

So Chen De didn't feel any law repulsion because of Chen De's morality, which caused him to be welcomed by any world and any law.

Besides this, Chen De really couldn't imagine any other reason that could lead to such a situation for the highly moral Chen De.

After all, Chen De had nothing but morality.

Moreover, in Chen De's consideration, the Evil God Essence might not only play a repulsive role.

Chen De never forgot that the Evil God Essence could adapt to, and become, other existences by devouring them.

This was an incredibly powerful ability to disguise, simulate, and assimilate.

Perhaps, it was the power of the Evil God Essence that caused Chen De to assimilate with the current world he was in.

This kept Chen De's body constantly in a state adapted to the current world.

Chen De believed that this possibility could not be ruled out.

But Chen De was confident that, in the final analysis, his moral influence played the major role.

At this moment...
