124: Hu Yan Xiao Yao enters the stage
"Sigh, let's go, let's go."
"How embarrassing. Tens of thousands of clansmen, and not a single one entered the Qingtian Sect."
The elders of these people led their eliminated juniors away from the Qingtian Sect Mountain Gate, shaking their heads.
"The second test begins now!"
After this group left, Li Big Saber immediately started the second test.
As large numbers of young men and women rushed onto the talent testing ladder again, the second test quickly began.
Like this, every time a batch finished testing, a new group of successful disciples would appear near the Qingtian Sect's Mountain Gate.
After more than a day of non-stop testing, there were already fifty to sixty thousand Outer Sect Disciples near the Mountain Gate.
However, not a single Inner Sect Disciple who climbed above the 800th step, nor any Sect Master's Direct Disciple, had appeared.
This caused the young men and women still waiting for the test, along with their elders, to voice their shock.
"This... just what kind of monstrous genius does it take to step onto the 800th step or higher? We can't even select one out of two or three billion?"
"The Qingtian Sect's requirements are too high! Even if you tested three billion pigs, you'd have to find a Pig King among them!"
"Exactly. I even doubt whether the Qingtian Sect actually has Inner Sect Disciples and Personal Disciples."
Tens of billions of people stared at the snow-white testing ladder, their faces filled with shock.
You must know that during this day and more, billions of cultivators were tested, yet not a single Inner Sect Disciple appeared, let alone a Sect Master of Qingtian Sect's Direct Disciple.
They couldn't imagine what kind of monstrous geniuses one must be to become an Inner Sect Disciple or Personal Disciple of the Qingtian Sect.
"Alright, continue testing!!"
Li Big Saber didn't care what everyone thought; his task was simply to test everyone who came to participate in the disciple recruitment assembly.
As for whether Inner Sect Disciples or Personal Disciples would appear, that was up to fate.
Following another command from Li Big Saber.
Billions of young men and women excitedly rushed toward the talent testing ladder once more.
After all, just because others couldn't become Inner Sect Disciples or Personal Disciples of the Qingtian Sect didn't mean there wasn't such a person among them.
Since these two types of Qingtian Sect disciples were so rare, it meant their treatment would definitely be excellent, making them even more desirable.
"Little Lotus, wait for me here. This Young Lady will be back shortly."
Among the crowd.
Huyan Xiaoyao said a word to Little Lotus and also rushed toward the talent testing ladder.
She wanted to see how many steps she could climb on the talent testing ladder with her Vermillion Bird Physique.
"Young Lady, you can't do this! If the Old Ancestor finds out, he'll be angry."
Seeing that Huyan Xiaoyao was actually going to climb the talent testing ladder, Little Lotus stood rooted to the spot and shouted loudly.
She knew Huyan Xiaoyao's physique well.
The Old Ancestor of the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce, who was Huyan Xiaoyao's grandfather, had said that Huyan Xiaoyao's future achievements would be no less than his own, perhaps even greater.
With such talent, climbing the ladder would definitely make her a Qingtian Sect disciple.
But Huyan Xiaoyao was the Temporary President of the continent's number one chamber of commerce and the granddaughter of a Peak Great Emperor. If she became a Qingtian Sect disciple...
If her Peak Great Emperor grandfather found out, how could he let the matter rest?
"Hmph, what could that Old Thing possibly be angry about? Unless he's asking for a beating."
Huyan Xiaoyao turned her head, replied, and then ignored Little Lotus, continuing to rush toward the talent testing ladder.
"Little..."
Little Lotus originally wanted to say more.
But seeing that Huyan Xiaoyao had already entered the testing ladder, she could only swallow her words.
Although she didn't understand why Huyan Xiaoyao was doing this, since she couldn't stop her, she could only keep quiet.
Anyway, when Huyan Xiaoyao got serious, she even dared to hit her own grandfather, so why should she worry?
Soon, this round of testing began.
Countless young men and women continued to climb, sweating profusely.
Huyan Xiaoyao, like an anomaly, quickly surpassed everyone and took the lead.
Not long after, under the astonished gazes of the crowd, she stepped onto the 800th step, becoming the first Inner Sect Disciple of the Qingtian Sect.
"Hiss! Someone reached the 800th step! Finally, someone reached the 800th step! An Inner Sect Disciple of the Qingtian Sect has finally appeared!"
"This little girl is fierce! She reached the 800th step so quickly! It seems the Qingtian Sect's requirements aren't too high; it's just that the previous people's talents were truly low."
"Exactly. We misunderstood the Qingtian Sect. The previous people were just trash; it wasn't that the Qingtian Sect's requirements were high."
Tens of billions of cultivators gasped in surprise upon seeing Huyan Xiaoyao quickly step onto the 800th step.
However, after the gasps subsided.
They looked at their juniors, and eyes full of hope resurfaced.
They hoped their juniors could also step onto the 800th step like Huyan Xiaoyao and become Inner Sect Disciples, or even Personal Disciples, of the Qingtian Sect.
After all, the appearance of the first success proved that the 800th step of the Qingtian Sect was not insurmountable; the previous people simply lacked the talent to achieve it.
"Hmm, not bad."
Seeing the first Inner Sect Disciple appear, Li Big Saber nodded in satisfaction.
Although he didn't care much, recruiting only Outer Sect Disciples was truly uninspiring.
On the talent testing ladder, Huyan Xiaoyao continued to sprint forward.
Her Peak Great Emperor grandfather had said that she had a chance to surpass the Peak Great Emperor realm.
So, with this kind of talent, wouldn't it be reasonable to become a Sect Master of Qingtian Sect's Personal Disciple?
Aiming for the status of a Direct Disciple.
Huyan Xiaoyao wore an excited smile and fiercely climbed the steps above.
She was already fantasizing about the time after she became the Sect Master of Qingtian Sect's Direct Disciple.
The scene where all the Qingtian Sect disciples called her Senior Sister.
After all, a physique like hers was one in a billion. Becoming the Senior Sister of all Qingtian Sect disciples would be easy.
The 850th step.
The 900th step.
The 920th, the 930th step.
Huyan Xiaoyao used all her strength and finally rushed to the 930th step.
But to become a Direct Disciple of the Sect Master, she needed to climb to the 1,000th step.
However, ever since the 900th step, the pressure on her had increased exponentially, and every step now was a challenge.
"No... Impossible! With my physique, how can I not even climb to the 1,000th step?"
Huyan Xiaoyao looked up at the remaining dozens of steps, her expression filled with disbelief.
If even her physique, which was guaranteed to become a Great Emperor, couldn't climb to the 1,000th step, then how heaven-defying must the Sect Master of Qingtian Sect's Personal Disciple be?
"Young Lady, keep going!"
Little Lotus saw Huyan Xiaoyao stop at the 930th step and couldn't help but shout toward the talent testing ladder.
Although Huyan Xiaoyao might not hear her, she still wanted to cheer Huyan Xiaoyao on.
As if hearing Little Lotus's voice.
Huyan Xiaoyao stood up again and continued climbing, but before she could take two more steps, she spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed onto the step, completely losing the ability to climb further.
