Chapter 1732

"That person's status is so high that Yuan Jie probably won't even get to see him, so how could he be interested in him?"

The midget old man laughed and explained, "But that person did give the Luo Sect a chance to follow him ten years ago. It's just that none of the Luo Sect disciples met the requirements. The Luo Sect recruits disciples once every hundred years. Why did they make an exception this time? I'm afraid they're trying to find a good seedling so that they can get in touch with that person. "

"That person's influence is growing, and the Luo Sect is weakening. It's necessary to curry favor with those in power if they want to rebuild their sect. Think about it. Under these circumstances, the Luo Sect is in desperate need of talents. Naturally, the chances of being recommended to that person will increase if you get first place in the assessment. That's why you tried your best to get first place. "

"But now that Yuan Jie has gotten first place, and it's a result that alarmed the nine prophets. It's obvious how talented he is. You're already one step behind him. If this goes on, I'm afraid you'll completely lose this opportunity. "

The midget old man sighed. His words made Shao Heyang even more depressed. He sighed at his bad luck for encountering such a strong competitor.

"I heard that many of the Luo Sect disciples were killed or injured when the big shot with the surname Gu came to the Luo Sect ten years ago. Perhaps there's more to it than meets the eye. Even if I managed to get in touch with that person, it might not be luck. "Shao Heyang comforted himself. What else could he do other than think that way?

"What happened ten years ago was indeed strange, but the quota can't be fake. The Shao Family has been filial to Prophet Dong for a long time. He wouldn't lie to us about this." The midget old man shook his head.

"Hmph, that Prophet Dong won't do anything without benefits. If he really treated the Shao Family differently, he could've just taken me in as a disciple. Why beat around the bush?" Shao Heyang complained.

The midget old man's expression changed when he heard that. He looked around nervously. "Young Master, please be careful with your words! The prophets of the Luo Sect know everything. If you're unhappy with him, he'll be able to tell at a glance. It won't do you any good if you make him unhappy! "

"Elder Wei, you're overestimating those prophets. They're just a bunch of people who never leave the mountains …"

Shao Heyang mumbled a few words and felt a little guilty. After all, he had heard of many supernatural powers of Prophet Luo. As he spoke, his voice became softer.

"Now that things have come to this, Young Master should prepare for the Inner Court Exam. If you perform well enough in the Inner Court Exam, you will still have a chance."

The dwarf elder comforted him for a while and then left.

Shao Heyang was left alone in the room. Thinking back to everything that had happened during the day, he couldn't think straight and couldn't sleep the whole night.

After the dwarf elder left, no one noticed that on the roof of Shao Heyang's room, a small dragonfly that was motionless like a statue blinked its compound eyes.

In the middle of the night, a small dragonfly flew in from the open window of Gu Chen's room. Gu Chen, who was sitting cross-legged and cultivating, immediately opened his eyes and stretched out a finger.

The little dragonfly landed on his fingertip and transmitted some information to him through a weak spiritual force fluctuation.

Because of his vigilance, Gu Chen asked the dragonfly monster to pay attention to any movements in the Outer Court. Since Shao Heyang wanted to kill him, the dragonfly monster would naturally report it.

When Gu Chen learned that the dragonfly monster had heard the private conversation between Shao Heyang and the dwarf elder, he didn't care about Shao Heyang's killing intent. Instead, he was interested in the inside story that the two had mentioned.

"A big shot with the surname Gu? There's a hidden secret in the Luo Court Entrance Exam? "

Gu Chen's expression was uncertain. For some reason, his eyelid twitched when he heard that someone with the same surname as him had been to the Luo Court.

"Increase the surveillance on Shao Heyang. Also, find a way to find out what happened in the Luo Court ten years ago."

Gu Chen quickly gave new instructions to the dragonfly monster. Then, he closed his eyes and went back to cultivating.

The candidates who passed the Outer Court Exam didn't have to wait for a few days before the Inner Court Exam arrived.

Gu Chen originally thought that the Prophets would be in charge of the Inner Court Exam and that he might be able to see Fang Shijie. However, he was disappointed.

None of the Prophets appeared during the Inner Court Exam. Naturally, Fang Shijie didn't appear either. He had no way of knowing which Prophet had snatched Fang Shijie as a disciple and what Fang Shijie had done in the Bagua Diagram.

The Luo Court Elder was still in charge of the Inner Court Exam. Unlike last time, the Bagua Diagram was no longer there. Instead, there was a pile of large and cumbersome Dao artifacts.

"Today, we will test your Dao root, physique, mental power, and other aspects. The results will be given to the Prophets. The Prophets will decide who to accept into the Inner Court based on your results."

The Luo Court Elder briefly introduced the rules of the exam. Some of the new disciples couldn't help but look gloomy when they heard this.

This kind of exam was actually the most common way for the major sects to recruit disciples. It was normal to give treatment according to one's aptitude.

However, the Luo Court was not an ordinary sect. The uniqueness of the sect made its requirements for recruiting disciples different from others. This made it possible for people with mediocre aptitudes to pass the exam.

It wasn't easy for these people with mediocre aptitudes to enter. They had hoped to be chosen by the Prophet, but who would have thought that the Prophet wouldn't even want to see them? The Prophet had used the most universal standards to measure them. How could they not be upset?

Under the universal assessment method, some people's results were determined from the beginning.

Regardless of what the new disciples thought, large Dao artifacts emitted resplendent lights as they began to check everyone's aptitude.

The new disciples lined up to be inspected. Gu Chen stood at the back of the line and waited calmly.

Before entering the Luo Court, he had an idea of the possible inspections and had made the corresponding preparations. Therefore, he didn't panic.

The various sects in the Primordial Chaos Dao World might use different methods to check one's aptitude, but there was no difference in essence.

The first thing in terms of aptitude was the Dao root.

In the eyes of the people of the Primordial Chaos Dao World, the Dao root was a person's innate cultivation aptitude. This included what kind of laws were suitable for one to cultivate and how high one's talent in cultivating such laws was.

The Dao roots were divided into the five-elemental Dao roots of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. There were also Dark, Wind, and Lightning Dao roots. There were countless strange and strange Dao roots.

The Dao roots were also divided into inferior-grade, medial-grade, high-grade, precious, and divine-grade.

This division was the same as the division of the Chaos Sea cultivators' Origins. Was it a coincidence?

Of course not.

The so-called Dao roots of the Primordial Chaos Dao World were actually what the Chaos Sea cultivators called the Origins power!

However, living beings in the Dao World grew up bathed in the Primordial Chaos Essence Energy. They were born with the Origins power, which was also a Dao root. As for the Chaos Sea cultivators, they could only obtain it through cultivation.
