Chapter 1723
The Water Chasing Platform crossed the green hills and clear waters and soon arrived at the Luo Sect.
The silver waterfall seemed to fall from the Nine Heavens, and there were large palaces and pavilions on both sides of the waterfall.
The Luo Sect was divided into the inner and outer sects. The large palaces and pavilions were where the outer sect was located. As for the inner sect, it was said that there was another world within the waterfall. That was the inner sect, the true core of the Luo Sect.
The examinees and the people who came with them were naturally arranged in the outer sanctum.
After getting off the Water Chasing Platform, Gu Chen and his group were taken to a courtyard by the Luo Sect's external affairs disciples to stay and wait for the day of the assessment.
Since they were from the same batch, the Tang Family and the Shao Family naturally stayed in the same courtyard.
After settling down, Gu Chen gestured to the strange dragonfly to secretly investigate the surrounding environment.
Of course, this was an important place of the sect, so he reminded the strange dragonfly to be careful during the investigation.
Although the pair of compound eyes of the strange dragonfly was powerful, they did not understand the various restriction methods of the Dao World. They needed to be a little respectful lest they were exposed.
After instructing the dragonfly monster, Gu Chen stayed in his room. He held a few scriptures in his hands and read them carefully.
He had decided to participate in the Luo Sect's entrance assessment with Fang Shijie, so he naturally had to study the scriptures that were required for the assessment.
Otherwise, if Fang Shijie passed the assessment and he was eliminated, it would be a little awkward and unfavorable to his plan.
"One life, two fate, three feng shui, four accumulations of yin virtue, five studies …"
As Gu Chen flipped through the "Destiny Knowing" scripture in his hands, his eyes revealed a strange glint when he flipped to a certain line on a certain page.
He had seen this line in the Fang Family's secret technique that Fang Shijie had given him.
Fang Shijie had given Gu Chen almost all of the Fang Family's inheritance that he knew, and the most important of these was, of course, the Fang Family's Origin Technique.
As a source master, the Fang Family's Origin Technique was the foundation. Although this clan cultivated the Fate Dao, they were not bound by the ordinary Fate Dao.
In the Fang Family's Origin Technique, there was a similar description of one life, two fate, three feng shui.
Was it a coincidence?
Obviously not.
The fact that the Origin Race had handed the Luo Gate the trump card that would allow them to rise once again showed that the relationship between the Luo Gate and the Origin Race was not ordinary.
The Luo Sect was a sect of the Path of Destiny, and the Knowing Destiny Sutra was also compiled by the Luo Sect. Their purpose was to select suitable disciples for cultivation through these sutras.
Gu Chen did not know how long these scriptures had been passed down, but some of the knowledge and theories in the scriptures must have come from the ancestors of the Luo Men.
Where did the ancestors of the Luo Sect learn this knowledge?
Gu Chen understood this point. The corner of his mouth curled up, and his heart was filled with anticipation.
Fang Shijie's guess was correct. The complete inheritance of the Fang family, or rather, the Origin Race, was very likely to reappear in the Luo Gate. He began to look forward to seeing what the Origin Race had left behind in the sect.
Gu Chen carefully flipped through the scripture. With his memory, it was very easy for him to recite the contents of the entire book.
However, memorizing the scriptures was not enough. The most important thing was to understand and digest them.
The knowledge of the Path of Destiny described in this book was very mysterious, and to ordinary people, it was no different from a heavenly book.
Gu Chen had a certain understanding of the Path of Destiny, so the contents of this book were not difficult for him to understand. Instead, it gave him a feeling of enlightenment.
After obtaining the Fang family's Genesis technique, he would study it whenever he had time.
Not to mention anything else, just the Spirit Capture and Source Dispatching Dao technique alone was worth studying.
With his comprehension ability, it was not difficult for him to get started in the Genesis technique. However, after getting started, it was not easy to cultivate it to a profound level.
Although it was the same Spirit Capture and Source Dispatching Dao technique, ordinary disciples of the Fang family could only capture ordinary Qi of Heaven and Earth. However, in the hands of a freak like Fang Yuan, he could even control chaotic Qi.
The mystic technique was the same, but the realm of understanding was different, and the power would be very different!
In Gu Chen's opinion, his understanding of Genesis techniques was only superficial. There were many deeper things that he could not understand, and he did not know how to go deeper.
However, after reading "Life Knowing", some of the puzzles that existed in the cultivation of Genesis techniques were solved in a simple way by "Life Knowing".
Gu Chen was very surprised. He had once regarded this book as a treasure, and he wondered why the Luo Sect was willing to publicize such a priceless book.
However, as he understood more and more, he understood the reason behind it.
The content of "Life Knowing" was not particularly profound, but his foundation was too poor, or in other words, he had gone astray.
Gu Chen's grasp of the Path of Destiny originated from the Heavenly Emperor Time Fist's Path of Karma. However, how could his understanding of the Path of Destiny compare to the Fang family, which had been immersed in this Path for countless years?
To cultivate the Fang family's Genesis techniques, one needed a good foundation in the Path of Destiny, and the knowledge and theories involved in "Life Knowing" could help one build a good foundation.
Gu Chen's foundation was not good to begin with, and he relied on his own comprehension ability to forcefully study Genesis techniques, so he did not understand many things.
With the help of these basic theoretical books, some of the originally very simple principles suddenly became clear, causing his Genesis technique attainment to improve by leaps and bounds!
This further proved the relationship between the Luo Sect and the Origin Clan. Gu Chen was really interested in the book in his hand, and he forgot to eat and sleep for a while.
Before the entrance examination, Gu Chen did not go out at all. Tang Gaolan wanted to see him, but she was stopped by Green Ghost, who was guarding the door.
During this period, Gu Chen only saw the strange dragonfly and got a general understanding of the surrounding situation from him.
The outer sect of the Luo Sect was actually not much, and the strange dragonfly did not find anything worth paying attention to after asking around. However, there were more cultivators who came to participate in the Luo Sect examination than expected, and it was worth paying more attention to.
The strange dragonfly originally wanted to take the opportunity to sneak into the waterfall to investigate. After all, that was the real important place of the Luo Sect.
However, there was no cover around the waterfall, and there were Luo Sect disciples patrolling, so it would be too obvious if he sneaked in.
Following Gu Chen's instructions, he did not dare to take the risk, so he came back.
Gu Chen got a general understanding of the situation from the dragonfly, then waved his hand to let him leave, and continued to concentrate on studying the book.
The day of the Luo Sect's official entrance examination soon arrived. Under the huge waterfall, a dense crowd gathered.
Gu Chen and his group were among the crowd, looking curiously at the open space in front of them.
Around the open space stood numerous Luo Sect outer sect disciples, responsible for maintaining order. In the center of the open space was a huge eight trigram.
This eight trigram had not been seen yesterday, so it was obvious that it had appeared overnight. It was unknown if it had anything to do with the contents of the entrance examination.
"Brother Chen, long time no see. I wonder if your anger has subsided?"
Tang Gaolan asked with a bitter smile as she looked at Gu Chen, who was dressed in white and had his black hair casually draped over his shoulders.
She had been wanting to see Gu Chen for the past few days to apologize for her previous rudeness, but Gu Chen refused to meet her. She thought it was because of her previous rudeness that there was a rift between them.
This matter was indeed her fault. Her thoughts were seen through, and she felt that she was in the wrong, so she did not dare to express any dissatisfaction.
"Where did I get my anger from?"
Gu Chen was stunned, but he quickly understood what she was referring to and shook his head. "It's just a small matter. You don't have to take it to heart, Miss Tang."
Tang Gaolan was speechless when she saw Gu Chen's nonchalant expression. If he did not hold a grudge against her for the past few days, why hadn't he seen her for the past few days?
She did not say it directly. Instead, she asked, "Brother Chen, what have you been busy with these past few days? It's so hard to even see you."
"Isn't the entrance examination just around the corner? I've been reading for the past few days. "
Gu Chen glanced at the open space in front of him and answered honestly.
Tang Gaolan's expression turned strange when she heard that. He had indeed taken many books from her and said that he would participate in the entrance examination.
However, the contents of those books were too difficult to understand. How could he learn anything in such a short period of time?
She originally thought that he would give up after reading a few books. Who would have thought that he would seriously prepare for the entrance examination?
"Can you understand those scriptures? It's not as simple as memorizing them. "
Tang Jianqing could not help but mock when he heard Gu Chen's words.
He had only gained some understanding of the books after studying hard for ten years. He knew that the metaphysical theories in the books were too difficult for ordinary people.
"I did learn something."
Gu Chen said with a smile, as if he did not hear his sarcasm.
Tang Jianqing was in disbelief. He thought to himself, 'Who asked you to brag? You'll show your true colors when the entrance examination begins!'
Tang Gaolan's thoughts were similar to her brother's. However, she looked at Gu Chen's group with a smile on her face. "Are all of Brother Chen's people participating in the entrance examination?"
Gu Chen had previously mentioned that they wanted to join the Luo Sect to cultivate.
"That's not it. Only Yuan Jie and I are participating."
Gu Chen glanced at Fang Shijie beside him.
Since the surname Fang was a sensitive one, Gu Chen asked Fang Shijie to use an alias.
"Only the two of you are participating?"
Tang Gaolan could not help but take a few more glances at Fang Shijie. Previously, Fang Shijie was inconspicuous among Gu Chen's group and stood at the back most of the time.
Now that she took a closer look, she realized that the black-robed young man was even more handsome than a girl. However, he had a cold expression and did not seem approachable.
She was not surprised that only the two of them were participating in the entrance examination. Presumably, Gu Chen's other companions had given up after reading the books.
Since the two of them were left to participate in the entrance examination, they should be more confident, right?
Tang Gaolan guessed, but she was still not optimistic. After all, Gu Chen and Yuan Jie had prepared too hastily.
As they were chatting, an elder of the Luo Sect appeared on the empty ground.
