320: The powerful ones who ascended to heaven gathered in the East Desert

The super interstellar Void Realm Teleportation Formation was successfully set up three years ahead of schedule.

As soon as this news spread, it caused a sensation throughout the entire Eastern Desolation.

The Eastern Desolation now has 100,000 major powers establishing branches, and even the vast majority of Sect forces have recalled resources from Laibin City to use in the Eastern Desolation.

The Eternal Leaf Dynasty has thirty-six Royal Cities. Previously, each Royal City had three Royal City Cultivation Families co-governing with the City Lord's Mansion. Now, each Royal City is occupied by more than two thousand branch strongholds of major Cultivation forces. Those Royal City Cultivation Families are all trembling with fear, having long been marginalized.

Today's Eastern Desolation is the center of the world.

The Eastern Desolation was shaken, and the whole world was astonished!

When the branches of the 100,000 major powers sent the news back to their respective Sects, Cultivation Sects from all over the world were alarmed.

The Teleportation Formation was really set up?!

Is there really hope for Ascension to the Immortal Realm?!

Are the Martial Arts dark ages of the Sky Ruins Continent finally coming to an end?!

The major Sects could no longer sit still and began to dispatch a large number of personnel to the Eastern Desolation.

Especially those Ascension Realm powerhouses who had undergone the Ascension Tribulation, they were even more restless and actively applied to go to the Eastern Desolation to see.

The opportunity for Ascension to the Immortal Realm! Becoming an Immortal can instantly increase one's lifespan by several times, becoming stronger and living longer... who would want to miss it?

For a time, countless Ascension Realm powerhouses from all over the world gathered in the Eastern Desolation in a mighty torrent.

They were all at the pinnacle of the continent's hierarchy, basically either Grand Elders of various Sect forces or Old Ancestors, the foundational strength of Cultivation Family forces.

However, upon arriving in the Eastern Desolation, they dared not act presumptuously.

The Three Courts enforcing order meant being expelled from the Eastern Desolation was no laughing matter. After finally waiting for the hope of Ascension, if they were to court death and ruin that hope now, they would never be able to Ascend again in their lifetime.

With the Xianwu Teleportation Platform completed, Long Aotian only dispatched three Dragon Heaven Palace Grand Elders to guard it, temporarily not accepting personnel from other forces for teleportation.

He was not afraid of those Tribulation Transcendence Realm Cultivators, with their profound cultivation, volatile tempers, and limited patience, assaulting the Xianwu Teleportation Platform, trying to force their way in through violence.

Are you kidding? Daring to act presumptuously in front of the Formation Ancestor's Formation?

There's no need for the Grand Elders guarding it to act; simply activating the protective killing Formation would put an end to any troublemakers, no matter how many.

He said the Teleportation Formation would be ready in five years, and now it's completed three years ahead of schedule. If he is unwilling to open it early, no one can accuse him of breaking his promise, nor can they do anything to him.

This left the countless Ascension Realm powerhouses pouring into the Eastern Desolation feeling stifled.

Especially since people from other forces were temporarily not accepted for teleportation, but Dragon Heaven Palace Disciples could, which hurt them deeply and even made them want to join Dragon Heaven Palace.

This was precisely the effect Long Aotian wanted!

Huo Rulie and his group are currently developing branches on Four Symbols Island. The native population of Four Symbols Island is less than ten billion due to constant warfare among the Four Great Empires. To contend with four Martial Arts Great Empires, each with a population of at least several hundred billion, Fen Juechen and his few companions alone are not enough.

After the Xianwu Teleportation Platform was completed, the Dragon Clan's Third Ancestor, Dragon War Sovereign, led ten thousand Dragon Heaven Palace Disciples, from Tribulation Transcendence Realm First to Eighth Revolution Stage, and majestically teleported to Four Symbols Island to support the Second Elder, Dragon War Emperor.

Before they left, Long Aotian sealed a portion of the cultivation of all Dragon Clan Disciples and even other Cultivators whose Realm had reached the Tribulation Transcendence Realm Ninth Revolution Peak Stage or Ascension Realm, suppressing their cultivation Realm to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm Eighth Revolution Stage.

Otherwise, if Tribulation Transcendence Realm Ninth Revolution Peak Stage and Ascension Realm powerhouses were to teleport over, the Heavenly Dao there would immediately sense the aura of powerhouses whose cultivation Realm had reached the Ascension Realm. It would either directly send down the Ascension Tribulation or manifest the Ascension Passage and teleport them to the Immortal Realm, which would be disastrous.

They wanted to Ascend, but that didn't mean they wanted to Ascend immediately now.

Following Dragon War Sovereign, the First Ancestor, Long Zhanshen, and the Great-Grandfather, Long Shijie, also successively led two groups totaling two hundred thousand Dragon Heaven Palace Disciples of Tribulation Transcendence Realm First to Eighth Revolution Stage, virtually emptying Dragon Heaven Palace's Tribulation Transcendence Realm strength.

Currently, Dragon Heaven Palace, not counting the 100,000 major Sect Head Grand Elder Council, has a Disciple size of only over a million people. With three successive batches of Tribulation Transcendence Realm Disciples, over 200,000 people, it is already Dragon Heaven Palace's limit.

However, this is only a temporary limit!

Those Tribulation Transcendence Realm Cultivators were attracted to the Eastern Desolation and, upon discovering that only Dragon Heaven Palace Disciples could temporarily use the Xianwu Teleportation Formation, began to consider joining Dragon Heaven Palace.

Especially those Loose Cultivators!

How many Loose Cultivators are there in the world?

At the Tribulation Transcendence Realm alone, there are hundreds of billions!

Long Aotian did not intend to open the Teleportation Formation early precisely because he wanted to absorb some Tribulation Transcendence Realm Loose Cultivators into Dragon Heaven Palace to strengthen its overall power.

The development of events indeed unfolded as he expected. Many Loose Cultivators flocked to the Dragon Heaven Palace Entry Disciple Assessment Tower he had set up in Thunder Dragon Royal City.

Yes, during this period of taking care of the child, he wasn't idle. Four Symbols Island needed a large number of Disciples to hold the fort, and the efficiency of Dragon Heaven Palace's Disciple recruitment here in Sky Ruins had to be increased.

Thus, Long Aotian refined a nine-Immortal Rank spatial Magic Treasure specifically for Dragon Heaven Palace's Disciple recruitment, namely the Dragon Heaven Palace Entry Disciple Assessment Tower.

Spiritual Root, age, Martial Arts Talent, Comprehension Ability, physical strength, Divine Sense strength, Heart-Nature, Dan Dao level, Formation level, Artifact Refining level, combat level, etc., are all comprehensively and automatically assessed and evaluated for entry Disciples.

Even if a million Disciples need to undergo an entry assessment, only one or two Elders are needed to oversee and verify the situation.

Most importantly, it has no time limit and no limit on the number of assessments. A hundred people can be assessed in different zones at once, and it is always open.

Cultivators who feel they have the strength to join Dragon Heaven Palace can go for the assessment. After all, the wealthy Dragon Heaven Palace does not charge a fee and is particularly generous to top Geniuses who are struggling financially.

If the final assessment evaluation cannot be passed, and one suspects a problem with the Assessment Tower, it doesn't matter. It's impossible for every one of the hundred-plus assessment zones to have a problem. If there's suspicion, one can continue the assessment in other zones.

This largely avoids potential conflicts between assessing Cultivators and assessing Elders, as well as phenomena such as assessing Cultivators bribing assessing Elders to cheat.

With a Dragon Heaven Palace Entry Disciple Assessment Tower placed in Thunder Dragon Royal City, it quickly saw an explosive increase in population. The Assessment Tower's hundred-plus zones were operating at high intensity and overload twenty-four hours a day, with queues stretching for tens of miles behind them.

Seeing this, Long Aotian frantically refined many more Assessment Towers in the Sixth Layer Space World. Eight were directly placed in each of the thirty-six Royal Cities, and twelve were placed in the Imperial City.

With three hundred Assessment Towers deployed, especially with time acceleration Formations inside the Assessment Towers to greatly improve internal assessment efficiency and shorten external waiting times, it was possible to assess millions of Cultivators a day, which slightly eased the pressure on Disciple recruitment.

For a time, countless Tribulation Transcendence Realm Loose Cultivators began to flock into these Assessment Towers, and every day, tens of thousands of Cultivators distinguished themselves and became Dragon Heaven Palace Disciples.

Watching Dragon Heaven Palace Disciples send batch after batch of Disciples to the Xianwu Continent, the 100,000 major Cultivation forces began to grow restless.

Qin Donghuang, Dan Shen Yijue, Fu Yuanhui, Da Wanxin, Leng Shuangshuang, Tu Shan Xian Su, Ao Lai Shisan, Heitian, Huo Keng, Yun Zhongjun, Luo Tianyi, and a dozen other continental-level and sub-continental-level major Sect Heads came to visit Dragon Heaven Palace, representing the 100,000 major powers, requesting that they also be allowed to enter Xianwu ahead of schedule...
