Swaying gently.
Gently swaying.
Three months later, Qin Wudao arrived in the Azure Cloud Universe.
Compared with other advanced universes, the vitality of the Azure Cloud Universe is more abundant. Every time the first ray of sunlight rises, the purple engulfs the east, and the vitality transforms into mountain mist, nourishing all things.
Streams of multicolored flowing light pierce the starry sky.
And where all the streams of light converge, there lies the Azure Cloud Sect, situated at the center of the universe, resembling a sage who has seen through the red dust, watching the changes in the cosmic storm with stillness and steadiness.
After entering the Azure Cloud Universe, Qin Wudao was in no rush to proceed, stopping and going intermittently.
When he arrived at the Azure Cloud Sect, he coincidentally caught the disciple recruitment ceremony.
Vast starry sky.
Gathering countless prodigies from all over, all under ten thousand years old, considered exceptionally young in the near-immortal advanced universes.
They are like rounds of rising suns, still youthful after the baptism of years.
In the world of martial arts, no one laments the passage of time.
Eternal!
Eternal life!
Never withering!
"If people don’t die, and more and more Martial Artists appear, will it disrupt the balance? Will the endless universe bear the burden?"
Standing in the crowd, Qin Wudao looked around, surrounded by countless silhouettes extending beyond sight, and started to daydream again.
Resources are limited.
Limitless usage will one day lead to depletion.
And the key to using resources wisely is population control.
The more people there are, the more resources are consumed.
In advanced universes, where everyone practices martial arts and achieves eternal life, naturally controlling the population becomes impossible, and eventually, will it lead to resource scarcity?
Concerning this doubt.
The current Qin Wudao still couldn’t figure it out.
But soon.
He would understand that the question he thought of had already been addressed by someone.
However, the method is somewhat brutal!
"The Azure Cloud Sect’s disciple recruitment ceremony officially begins!"
At noon, a bright voice resonated, echoing through the surrounding Starfield, carrying a mysterious divine might that instinctively evoked awe in people’s hearts.
Everyone’s gaze shifted unanimously to the front.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, ripples spread across the starry sky, and thousands of divine mountains appeared out of nowhere, extremely majestic.
Each divine mountain had distinct features.
Some peaks towered up to ten thousand miles, like a divine sword piercing the starry dome, steep and nearly impossible to ascend.
Some peaks were grand and magnificent, like the oldest giants, exuding a wilderness aura, sprawling across the cosmos, difficult to surpass.
Other peaks resembled dragons, phoenixes, and cranes, lifelike, as if possessing some kind of spirit, ready to soar into the void at any moment.
Among the mountains, streams of vitality flowed, nourishing each divine mountain.
Misty vapors rose.
The vitality was extremely abundant.
A holy land of cultivation!
The Dao is within reach!
Upon seeing the Azure Cloud Sect, these thoughts surfaced in everyone’s mind.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
At this moment, dozens of streaks of light flew out from a certain divine mountain, wearing azure and white robes, carrying swords on their backs, bearing immortal grace, like Immortal Kings descending to the mortal world.
"Azure Cloud Inquires Dao, divided into three checkpoints!"
"First checkpoint, Talent Check!"
"Second checkpoint, Willpower Check!"
"Third checkpoint, Dao-edge Checkpoint!"
An elderly man with white hair stepped forward, casually waving his hand and tearing apart a vast void, letting down a hundred thousand dragon-shaped stone pillars, each flashing different colors.
"For the Talent Check, the inquirer places their hands on the Azure Cloud Pillar to test their talent!"
"Talent is divided into nine levels!"
"Only those reaching the sixth level can join the Azure Cloud Sect and become outer disciples!"
The white-haired elder continued speaking.
His voice wasn’t loud.
Yet it fell into everyone’s ears.
"Now, the inquiry begins!"
After introducing the rules, the white-haired elder stepped aside.
However.
In the instant he stepped down, an invisible force burst from the Azure Cloud Pillar, dividing the chaotic prodigies into a hundred thousand teams, each team consisting of tens of thousands of people.
Qin Wudao was in one of the middle teams, lined up in over three thousandth place.
Boom!
A prodigy stepped forward.
With a hint of unease, he placed his hands on the Azure Cloud Pillar.
Instantly, the Azure Cloud Pillar trembled slightly, various colors flashed one by one, finally turning completely blue.
"Fifth level talent, unqualified!"
An emotionless voice sounded.
The tested prodigy, upon hearing it, felt like he was struck by lightning, staggered, almost collapsing to the ground, face like ashes, utterly dejected.
The light in his eyes extinguished!
The Azure Cloud Sect!
The only external recruitment force among the six great superpowers in the boundless universe, and the only chance for ordinary people like them to break the cocoon into a butterfly.
And he failed to grasp it!
The second tested prodigy was a woman in a white dress, with a cold and aloof aura, like a snow lotus blooming atop an ice mountain, exuding a sense of sanctity.
The woman placed her hands on the Azure Cloud Pillar.
Boom!
A dazzling glow of the Dao erupted.
The Azure Cloud Pillar turned purple.
"Eighth level talent, qualified!"
The merciless voice sounded.
"Junior Sister, please come with me!"
A disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect, standing not far away, flew over on a sword and spoke to the woman in the white dress.
The woman nodded, without speaking.
After ten hours, it was finally Qin Wudao’s turn; among the more than three thousand before him, only five had qualified to join the Azure Cloud Sect.
The elimination rate was terrifying!
"I wonder what level my talent will reach!"
Qin Wudao mumbled, placing his hands on the Azure Cloud Pillar.
However.
The Azure Cloud Pillar showed no response.
As if it had fallen asleep.
Qin Wudao was stunned. Could it be that I have no talent?
That shouldn’t be!
I have redefined the current martial arts civilization, how could I have no talent?
The Dao returns to one!
The rules of the divine!
Are the best proof.
Not just him, but the Azure Cloud Sect disciples nearby, and the white-haired elder as well, were drawn over to Qin Wudao, as if discovering a never-before-seen specimen.
"Is this thing broken?"
Qin Wudao asked.
The white-haired elder placed his hand on the Azure Cloud Pillar, which showed an eighth-level talent.
"It’s not broken!"
The white-haired elder sized up Qin Wudao, clicking his tongue in wonder.
"It shouldn’t be!"
Qin Wudao frowned tightly, injecting a stream of vitality into the Azure Cloud Pillar.
Had he not injected it, it would have been fine, but the moment the vitality appeared, the Azure Cloud Pillar exploded directly into powder.
Qin Wudao was dumbfounded!
The disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect were dumbfounded!
All the prodigies being tested were dumbfounded!
"Are you here to cause trouble!"
The white-haired elder wasn’t angry, extended his right hand, and said casually, "Compensate for damages!"
Qin Wudao was completely stunned.
He pondered for a moment, then asked, "Can I still join the Azure Cloud Sect?"
At this moment, it was the white-haired elder’s turn to be silent.
He also couldn’t determine Qin Wudao’s talent.
Logically speaking, in the endless universe, especially in the group of advanced universes, there almost doesn’t exist any Martial Artist without talent, and Qin Wudao’s mid-Molding Dao Realm cultivation is enough to prove he has the talent for cultivation.
But the issue is that the Azure Cloud Pillar didn’t provide a ranking!
"This guy, causing trouble again!"
On a distant mountain peak, a person named Xiao Qi stroked their smooth forehead, full of speechlessness.
"Is he the one the Sword Master values?"
Beside Xiao Qi sat a middle-aged man with an elegant demeanor, his hair mostly black with white strands hanging down on both sides, swaying in the wind.
His deep-set eyes watched Qin Wudao, a mysterious light flashing within them.
