Chapter 203: Chapter 61 Wanxiang Sect
At the very center of the mainland, atop a giant island in the Sea of Moment, eight towering steles pierced The Firmament, each hundreds of meters tall, their tops obscured from view.
Each stele was surrounded by over a hundred Destiny Plates maintaining a formation, with thousands of strands of Heavenly Mandate Vitality consumed with every rotation. Normally, these plates would need to be replaced every two hours... meaning that these eight pillars alone would consume tens of thousands of plates and use over a hundred million strands of Heavenly Mandate Vitality each day!
Wanxiang Sect headquarters!
One of the top powers in the world.
The Hunting List of Han Yuan City was compiled by them.
“Hurry up with the records... make sure there are no errors!”
As usual, Elder Ouyang Hai came by and instructed his subordinates.
These steles, corresponding to eight different directions, collected all information from the Source World, which was then manually summarized to form the All-knowing List and disseminated.
Whirring!
Hearing this, the crowd grasped with their palms, and gigantic Primordial Spirits simultaneously floated behind them. Numerous brushes took flight on their own, swiftly recording under the control of Strength.
The seemingly servile recorders were each supremely powerful experts who had surpassed the Ninefold Source Pool.
Any single one of them, if placed in Han Yuan City, could crush all opposition.
Yet here, they were just subordinates.
Seeing that everyone was carrying out their tasks methodically, with no errors evident, Elder Ouyang Hai finally breathed a sigh of relief. Flicking his sleeves, he sat down on the central throne, looking around and asked, “Gu You, what’s the situation today?”@@@@
“Elder Ouyang...”
A middle-aged man holding a brush and a jade book walked over, bowing deeply: “As of today, we’ve had only one Bronze-tier event, all others have been Iron-tier or below.”
Bronze and Iron referred to the tiers of events, with higher tiers signaling more significant events.
The collapse of a dynasty at the level of Han Yuan would just qualify as Iron-tier; anything less was not even worth recording.
For instance, the assassination of Han Qianchou and Han Xiao were trivial matters not worthy of being reported to Elder Ouyang.
“What’s this Bronze-tier event about?”
Elder Ouyang Hai looked over.
Gu You flipped the pages of the jade book and explained, “It’s about that Mandate Chaos Master from the Zhou Yi Dynasty. It seems he encountered danger in Zhilan Valley. The forces within the Heaven Mandate Domain have gone berserk, and no one can approach within a thousand li...”
“Berserk? Seems like this guy is going to fall there!”
Elder Ouyang Hai nodded, “And what about the Iron-tier events?”
“It’s related to the Heaven Mandate Hall headquarters...”
Before Gu You could elaborate further, the ground beneath them shook, and the stele to the north suddenly burst into bright light, quickly turning gold.
“This is... an unexpected Gold-tier event!”
Gu You’s pupils contracted.
Gold-tier events, higher than Bronze-tier, were rare, usually not happening even once a year, and yet here one had occurred out of the blue.
“No, not just Gold...”
Elder Ouyang Hai could no longer remain seated. He stood up abruptly, his eyes sharp as an owl’s, fixating intently on the stele ahead.
Caught off guard, Gu You looked to the stele again, and his pupils likewise involuntarily shrank.
The golden stele, beginning from the top, slowly transformed, and in just over a dozen breaths, it turned the color of platinum.
“It’s actually a Platinum-tier event...” Gu You’s lips trembled.
Platinum-tier events, even higher than Gold-tier, were considered grade-4 events. Once the news spread, it would cause a sensation across the entire mainland!
...
In the depths of the Heaven Mandate Hall of Han Yuan City.
A middle-aged man rushed into the training room of the Hall Master.
“Reporting to the Hall Master, just now Elder Ling brought a few people over to test Heavenly Destiny Talent. Out of six people tested, three lit up 99 sticks of Heavenly Destiny Incense, one lit 37 sticks, and the other two lit up 23 and 21 sticks respectively!”
“What?”
Hall Master Han Xiao stood up in disbelief, her eyes filled with incredulity, just like Elder Ouyang Hai earlier.
No wonder she had been coughing up blood... It turned out that Ling Buyang had gathered several geniuses!
This way, the balance with Chai Yunsheng was completely shattered.
If lighting up 17 sticks could make one the number one in Han Yuan City, could there really be such a genius in the world who could light 99 sticks?
“Quickly, take me to see...”
Likewise unable to hold back, she strode out.
...
“Forget it, you don’t have to test anymore...”
Zhang Xuan, on the other hand, was unaware of the huge commotion he had caused; after continuously testing Zhao Ya, Zheng Yang, and Wang Ying, and finding that all could light 99 sticks of Heavenly Destiny Incense, he couldn’t help but stop.
Having guessed the answer, there was no longer any point in continuing.
Moreover, he had always kept a low profile, and causing such a scene was not what he desired.
As he stopped, Liu Mingyue next to him shivered, feeling somewhat like crying.
She thought she was the first to comprehend Mo Dao Destiny and had the highest talent, but after all this commotion, it turned out she was the worst...
It was embarrassingly awkward.
Yu Xiaoyu also wished there was a crack in the ground she could crawl into...
Others were overjoyed at lighting up 23 sticks of Heavenly Destiny Incense, while she felt so miserable she wanted to die...
The other senior brothers and sisters hadn’t tested, but judging by their calm demeanor and their teacher’s performance, they likely wouldn’t do worse than their senior sister and others.
If the disciples he accepted could all light 99 sticks of Heavenly Destiny Incense... Just how formidable was their teacher?
“Let’s go!”
Seeing that everyone was looking their way, Zhang Xuan had no wish to stay longer, so with a shout, he was about to leave when he felt someone grab his shoulder.
Turning his head, he saw Dao Li had appeared behind him at some point, his forehoof resting on his shoulder, his gaze intense as he shook his head and made a sound.
“Heir, Heir~~”
“You want to test too?” Zhang Xuan frowned.
Dao Li nodded his lengthy head.
“Alright, we can try. After all, we’ve paid the fee; not to test would be a waste!” Zhang Xuan gestured dismissively.
“Heir, Heir!”
With a flick of his tail, Dao Li stepped forward.
“Even a horse can be tested?”
Everyone was completely dumbfounded.
Yu Xiaoyu and Liu Mingyue exchanged glances, both of them simultaneously having a bad premonition...
They couldn’t have their rankings drop even further, could they?
