"Since you've agreed, you can cultivate here from now on. By the way, besides the other five Supremes, only a few Pavilion Masters from Tianyi Pavilion are qualified to enter. I will arrange the registration for you."
"You must put in your best effort over the next month." Seeing Li Xuan's agreement, Bai Suxin also stood up and said.
"Thank you, Supreme Bai." Li Xuan immediately bowed to Bai Suxin.
"Cultivate well. To revive your senior brothers and sisters and fight against that Eternal Supreme, your current strength is insufficient. I hope you won't disappoint me." Bai Suxin nodded slightly, and as her voice faded, her figure slowly disappeared.
"For my senior brothers and sisters, I will. As for the Eternal Supreme, one day I will reclaim what is rightfully mine!"
Bai Suxin's words struck a hidden pain in Li Xuan's heart. Especially recalling the scenes of his senior brothers and sisters fearlessly delaying time for him, Li Xuan felt an indescribable sense of guilt.
All he could do now was to elevate himself to that level.
*Whoosh!*
After about ten breaths, Li Xuan exhaled a breath of turbid air and walked into the wooden cabin in the woods.
In the void, as Li Xuan entered the cabin and began to cultivate cross-legged, Bai Suxin nodded with satisfaction.
"He is the one chosen by the Scribe?" Beside Bai Suxin, a silhouette gradually appeared as a stream of spiritual light flashed.
"What do you think?" Bai Suxin asked with a slight smile.
"Judging by his appearance, he seems barely qualified. However, challenging for a commander's position with the strength of the Immeasurable Realm will likely still be difficult," Mo Ningxiang said with a smile.
"Then do you think he can succeed?" Bai Suxin asked with a smile.
"Although his foundation is good and his talent is not bad, our Tianyi Domain is not short of prodigies. The disciples of various factions have also been nurtured with countless resources. The odds of the Immeasurable Realm challenging the Transformative Realm are slim, no matter how you look at it."
"Even if you give him the Myriad Spirits Formation that you normally use for closed-door cultivation, it won't improve much in just one month," Mo Ningxiang pondered for a moment and shook her head.
"If that's the case, shall we make a bet?" Bai Suxin said with a smile.
Seeing Bai Suxin's confident demeanor, Mo Ningxiang sensed something amiss but still smiled and nodded, "It's rare for you to be so whimsical, sister. Let's bet."
...
Time flew by, and a month quickly arrived.
On this day, Li Xuan, who was meditating in the wooden cabin, slowly opened his eyes. As he exhaled a breath of turbid air, a hint of joy flickered in his eyes.
"After a month of cultivation, I've finally made some progress. Although I haven't reached the intermediate Immeasurable Realm yet, I'm close. And there seems to be a formation here, as the spiritual energy is even purer."
Li Xuan stood up and glanced around. Then, with a thought, he pushed open the door and walked out. Earlier, Li Xuan had tried to sense the place with his divine sense, but to no avail. Li Xuan knew it was because his strength was not yet sufficient.
"Close to the intermediate Immeasurable Realm, quite a bit of progress." As Li Xuan stepped out of the cabin, Bai Suxin's figure slowly appeared.
"Greetings, Supreme Bai." Li Xuan turned around and bowed to Bai Suxin.
"No need for such formality, just be at ease." Bai Suxin nodded slightly and then walked directly to the stone chair outside the cabin and sat down.
"Tomorrow is the assessment for Tianyi Pavilion's disciple recruitment. Are you ready?" Bai Suxin looked up at Li Xuan and asked.
Li Xuan nodded. "I'm always ready."
"You seem quite confident. However, I hope you can maintain this confidence after seeing the other participants tomorrow." Bai Suxin smiled and nodded.
"Hearing the implication in your words, Supreme Bai, does this assessment have a high difficulty?" Li Xuan asked, his heart stirred.
"The assessment content was not set by me, so naturally, I don't know its difficulty. However, I've heard that the number of disciples participating in this assessment is quite large, and there are only a thousand slots available," Bai Suxin shook her head.
"A large number of participants? But only a thousand slots, I assume they will be distributed among the Five Pavilions?" Li Xuan guessed with some surprise.
"Yes, it has always been like this for the grand disciple recruitment ceremony. The slots are always allocated this way. As for the number of participants, this year has broken historical records, reaching a million people," Bai Suxin nodded with a smile.
"A million people are being recruited for only a thousand slots?!" Li Xuan was shocked. In that case, the chance would be only one in a thousand. One could imagine how difficult the assessment would be.
"Are you scared?" Bai Suxin asked with a smile.
"Not exactly scared, but I feel this assessment will be extremely brutal. Supreme Bai, what are the conditions to participate in this assessment?" Li Xuan shook his head and then asked.
Bai Suxin thought for a moment and replied, "This is not considered leaking secrets, so I don't mind telling you. The lowest strength for a disciple of our Tianyi Pavilion is the Immeasurable Realm. To participate in the assessment, one must naturally be at the beginner Immeasurable Realm to register."
"The starting point is the Immeasurable Realm... In that case, the assessment content will likely be even more difficult." Li Xuan marveled inwardly. A million existences in the Immeasurable Realm, such combat power would be enough to crush everything on any continent outside the Cloud World.
Yet Tianyi Pavilion was only recruiting a thousand disciples. This ratio was truly terrifying.
"You will know the difficulty of the assessment tomorrow. If you can pass the assessment and obtain a slot, you will naturally receive the resources of the Tianyi Domain for cultivation."
"Although I promised to provide you with resources for cultivation earlier, I prefer you to earn it through your own strength and potential. Of course, if you fail the assessment, my promise will still be valid. But I doubt that's the outcome you desire," Bai Suxin said slowly.
"Thank you, Supreme Bai. However, relatively speaking, I indeed prefer to earn everything through my own strength. I am determined to get a slot in Tianyi Pavilion!" Li Xuan nodded with a smile, his expression firm.
"Good, it's good to have such confidence. Get a good night's rest. Tomorrow will be a moment that decides your life," Bai Suxin nodded slightly, then stood up and slowly disappeared.
...
The night passed in silence.
*Dong!*
*Dong dong!*
As three loud bell tolls resounded, Li Xuan, who was meditating cross-legged in the wooden cabin, suddenly opened his eyes.
The grand disciple recruitment ceremony of Tianyi Pavilion had begun!
