This is the martial arts world, what are you cultivators interfering in?

Chapter 386 The Battle for Genius

Upon hearing this, everyone present was startled. Bai Shanchuan frowned and looked at Li Lan with considerable annoyance, saying, "Do you have the right to speak when I do? Do you want to die?"

But Li Lan remained neither humble nor arrogant, and said calmly and repeatedly:

"Ancient descendants can also enter the royal court. They only need to reach the level of a supreme being in terms of talent and aptitude, and pass the 'triple test.' This is an edict passed down by the Eastern Cliff royal family. I should remember correctly, Mr. Xuan Yue?"

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Xuan Yuechengqing, who was standing next to Bai Shanchuan!

Xuan Yuecheng looked at Li Lan with slight surprise, pondered for a moment, and then nodded: "That's right, there is indeed such a decree."

However, this edict was issued many years ago, and not only ordinary people, but even many immortal families and even members of the Dongya royal family have forgotten it...

How could this unknown kid know anything about me?

He was unaware that Dongya Xue had told Li Lan in great detail about the Dongya clan, and that in order to gain Li Lan's favor, she had emphasized the benevolent policies of the Dongya royal family towards the ancient people.

After all, the Dongya royal family was once one of the most important followers of the Heavenly Emperor. Within the royal family, there were also some ancestors who had feelings for the Heavenly Emperor and the ancient gods.

This is not contradictory. Every group and every family is actually made up of many people with different emotional inclinations and different interests.

"In that case, in this Dongye City, I wonder if the Bai family can disregard the royal decree of the Dongya clan as if it were nothing?"

Li Lan smiled and looked at Bai Shanchuan.

Bai Shanchuan's face instantly turned extremely ugly, his eyes filled with intense anger, but at this moment he couldn't vent it.

Before this, everyone kept quiet, not caring how he made things difficult for Gongsun Moxuan and the others.

But now, Li Lan has brought up the royal decree of the Dongya clan and even proved it in front of Xuan Yuechengqing. If he were to suppress Gongsun Moxuan and others again, wouldn't that be going against the Dongya clan?

Some things, if you don't weigh them, they're nothing; but if you do, they're incredibly heavy.

"In the southeast region, who dares to disobey the orders of the Dongya clan?"

Before Bai Shanchuan could speak, Xuan Yuechengqing glanced at Gongsun Moxuan and said calmly, "You can participate in the assessment. As long as you pass the triple test, you can also become a Celestial Master!"

Their clan once had an important woman who married into the Dongya clan, so naturally they had to uphold the authority of the Dongya clan.

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Moxuan was overjoyed.

"That's wonderful, thank you so much, Mr. Xuan Yue!"

Then, she turned back and looked at Li Lan gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Wu Chang!"

"Hmph, so what if we give you a chance? Do you really think the Celestial Master's Triple Test is easy?"

Seeing this, Bai Shanchuan's face also darkened. He coldly waved his hand and said, "Someone, prepare three times the test for her!"

Immediately, many more assessment items were added to the test.

Originally, the first test involved enduring the demonic invasion, using only a section of demon bone to emit malice as a test. But now, three sections have been used.

The second challenge was against a small demon, but now there are three.

At this moment, Gongsun Moxuan couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Before she arrived, she was unaware that the ancient people were not allowed to participate in the Celestial Master assessment, nor was she aware of the long-sealed edict once issued by the Dongya royal family. Therefore, she was not prepared to withstand the triple test.

Even her grandfather, Gongsun Houlong, frowned slightly and said, "To withstand three times the test, it would probably require an eighth-rank Celestial Master... Mo Xuan, be careful. If you really can't do it, don't push yourself!"

Celestial Masters are also ranked, with the ninth rank being the weakest and the first rank being the strongest!

Gongsun Moxuan's strength is currently only at the ninth rank, so passing this kind of test seems rather difficult at the moment.

Gongsun Moxuan nodded seriously, somewhat awkwardly.

Li Lan also had to undergo an assessment, but it was just a routine, general examination. He went in with Gongsun Moxuan, and as they parted, he suddenly whispered something to her, saying:

"Yin and Yang transform evil, with Yin being dominant and Yang secondary, try using the nine numbers of the odd and even numbers."

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Moxuan's delicate body trembled slightly, and she looked at Li Lan with some disbelief...

Because the key words that Li Lan just recited coincided perfectly with the ancient methods passed down from their ancestors, hitting the nail on the head.

However, this is a closely guarded secret of their clan. Not only would others not know it, but even other ancient peoples would not know it.

How is this going?

Could it be that Brother Wu Chang is also a member of the Gongsun clan?

No, that's impossible...

"Good luck."

Li Lan smiled slightly. Seeing Gongsun Moxuan's surprised expression, he was certain that Gongsun Moxuan knew what he was talking about.

This is enough.

Their lineage is descended from the "Mohist School" among the immortals, and what Li Lan told her was the key to applying the Mohist methods.

Once she understands this, her perception of her own cultivation level will immediately improve, and passing the test should not be difficult.

"Thank you very much, Brother Wu Chang!"

She took a deep breath, knowing that now was not the time to ask questions, and immediately headed straight ahead.

"Activate!"

At her command, a chilling aura swept towards her from the three demon bones. She immediately activated her Celestial Master magic, using her Celestial Master energy to contend with the demon's malice.

Her Celestial Master Qi flowed like a gentle stream, sometimes transforming into a water curtain, sometimes into water arrows, constantly entangled with the demons' malice. However, before long, she was already stretched thin, facing perilous situations, and falling into a disadvantageous position.

"Heh, with this level of skill, you dare to participate in the assessment? Even if the Dongya royal family makes an exception for you, so what? Do you lowly commoners think you can turn the world upside down?"

Bai Shanchuan sneered, mocking without any mercy.

Beside him, the ancient well, its surface still and calm, was bathed in the glow of the moon.

Gongsun Houlong, on the other hand, was somewhat anxious. He was afraid that his granddaughter would get hurt, since this was indeed beyond her current level of ability.

"Be careful!" he could only keep reminding them.

At this moment, Gongsun Moxuan completely ignored her grandfather's calls outside. In her heart, she kept repeating the words Li Lan had said:

"Yin and Yang transform evil, with Yin as the primary element and Yang as the secondary element. Let's try using the nine numbers of the odd and even numbers..."

She was one of the most insightful members of the Gongsun family; otherwise, she would not have been able to embark on the path of a Celestial Master. In addition, she practiced diligently every day and had an excellent foundation. Before long, she had a sudden realization.

"I understand!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her flowing Heavenly Master Qi returned to her palm and disappeared.

"Mo Xuan, girl!"

Outside, her grandfather was watching intently. When he saw her Heavenly Master Qi suddenly disappear, he assumed that she was exhausted and had run out of Heavenly Master Qi, so he was extremely anxious.

If the Celestial Master's Qi is exhausted, she will have no way to resist the malicious invasion of demons. In this case, she will be infected immediately, and at best she will become crazy, and at worst she will die.

A cold smile had already appeared on Bai Shanchuan's face.

But right now—

Before Gongsun Moxuan, the Heavenly Master's aura that had disappeared suddenly reappeared. This time, it transformed into a series of overlapping vortices, in which the orthodox and the unorthodox were combined. In the shadows, two yin-yang fish seemed to be swirling, but the black side was more prevalent and stronger.

The three demons arrived with malice as promised, fierce and invincible. A ninth-rank celestial master would have no chance of stopping them. However, Gongsun Moxuan's true celestial intent seemed to transform into an abyss, completely blocking the three demons' malice.

Her Celestial Master's True Intent was like an orderly array, devouring the enemy soldiers who had already entered the array. Before long, the three demonic malices had been refined!

"what?"

"How is this possible?"

"Her strength level is only at the ninth rank, how could she possibly withstand the malice of so many demons?"

"Wait, could it be that she's not a ninth-rank Celestial Master, but an eighth-rank one?"

Everyone was shocked, and the surrounding Taoist masters all looked solemn.

"genius!"

A middle-aged Celestial Master spoke solemnly. He was an eighth-rank Celestial Master sent by the Celestial Master Palace to oversee the assessment here, and he held high prestige among the crowd. His gaze was fixed on Gongsun Moxuan as he said:

"Although she only has a ninth-grade cultivation level, she has already comprehended things that even an eighth-grade Celestial Master might not be able to master!"

"This girl will likely become another star in the world of celestial masters in the future—"

Upon hearing this, everyone around was even more astonished.

In fact, even Gongsun Houlong's old face was full of doubt at this moment, because he didn't understand how Gongsun Moxuan had done it...

The magic that Gongsun Moxuan conjured felt incredibly familiar to him, yet he couldn't quite place its origin...

Could it be that Mo Xuan actually made a great breakthrough in martial arts during the battle?

At the same time, many people in the arena were attracted and gathered around, including members of the Shooting Star Clan and the Night Orchid Clan.

"A Celestial Master genius? Excellent!" The members of the Shooting Star Clan's eyes lit up.

"I never expected there to be such a person among the common people, excellent!"

The leader of the Yelan clan also locked his gaze on Gongsun Moxuan, a look of great joy on his face. Gongsun Moxuan was a rogue celestial master, which meant that he could be recruited.

Xuan Yue Cheng Qing said calmly, "Gentlemen, you've arrived first, so I'm afraid you'll have to wait a bit!"

At first, he didn't take Gongsun Moxuan seriously at all. He only stepped forward to protect her because Li Lan had brought up the royal decree of the Dongya clan.

But now, Gongsun Moxuan's attention has also drawn his attention.

Even though they are all from immortal families, they still value talents like the Celestial Master highly, as they are always in high demand.

"Hehe, our Bai family came with you. Even if we follow the rule of first come, first served, shouldn't we at least have some further discussion?"

At this moment, another leader of the Bai family, Bai Shanlin, arrived. He smiled and said, "Such a genius is quite good. It would be a good thing if we could bring him into our Bai family."

Upon hearing this, Bai Shanchuan was slightly startled, and a sense of unease suddenly arose in his heart.

He never expected that this ancient lowly person could actually withstand the triple test and show such amazing potential. Now, even higher-level figures in the family are very fond of her.

"She will die..."

He muttered to himself, wishing that Gongsun Moxuan would die in the second test.

And this moment.

Gongsun Moxuan has entered the second test, and the three demon spirits have launched a frenzied attack on her.

All three demonic spirits were extremely ferocious, and ordinary ninth-rank celestial masters were powerless to deal with them. However, Gongsun Moxuan had now verified the method Li Lan had told her, and her confidence had increased. She was no longer afraid and could deal with them with ease.

"Could we add a few more?"

Suddenly, Bai Shanlin from the Bai family spoke up.

He held a very high position within the Bai family, being a true core member, while Bai Shanchuan, although of the same generation, was from a collateral branch, only holding similar status.

The moment he spoke, even the middle-aged Taoist priest who was presiding over the assessment hesitated for a moment before waving his hand.
