374: Chapter 374 The Enrollment Ceremony of the Purple Mansion Holy Land, the Content of the Examination

Zifu Holy Land, as the most powerful force in the Chenxin Divine Dynasty, possessed a grandeur and Aura that far surpassed those of the prince's manors.

Within the Holy Land, experts gathered like clouds, a place of crouching tigers and hidden dragons; no one knew exactly how many obscure powerhouses were hidden within Zifu Holy Land.

Nor did anyone know how many experts who had made a name for themselves in the outside world had ties to Zifu Holy Land.

It could only be said that in the Chenxin Divine Dynasty, Zifu Holy Land was the undisputed strongest power!

And on this very day, the entire Chenxin Divine Dynasty was in a complete uproar.

Only because...

Zifu Holy Land's Recruitment Ceremony was being held today!!

The current Zifu Holy Land had become a cultivation Holy Land that countless children of the prince's manors dreamed of.

Countless young Prodigies fought tooth and nail, yet still found it difficult to take even a single step into Zifu Holy Land.

Because its reputation and foundation grew stronger and stronger, the difficulty of joining Zifu Holy Land was no longer what it used to be.

In the past, when Zifu Holy Land was first established, the Empress lowered the difficulty of the entrance assessment to expand their numbers.

But now, Zifu Holy Land's foundation had been established, its reputation was made, and experts and monstrous Prodigies had gathered to the point of almost reaching saturation!

In other words, the current Zifu Holy Land was no longer short of people.

Previously, because the quantity was below target, the assessment difficulty was lowered to recruit as many disciples as possible.

But now, the quantity had far exceeded the target; what was needed now was quality.

Nowadays, only those who were truly top-tier Prodigies could join Zifu Holy Land!

Furthermore, besides the children of the prince's manors, outside Prodigies who wished to join Zifu Holy Land had to be at least at the Divine Fire Realm, and their bone age could not exceed a thousand years!

"Young Master, Zifu Holy Land is just ahead. Today happens to be the day Zifu Holy Land is holding its Recruitment Ceremony."

Beside Lin Wurong's carriage, a guard from the Lin Mansion spoke respectfully.

Lin Ran slowly stepped out of the carriage and nodded slightly. "Mhm, thank you for your hard work. When you return, please thank the Lin Family Head on my behalf."

"Yes!"

The guards departed with the carriage.

Looking at Zifu Holy Land before him, Lin Ran couldn't help but be stunned in place for two and a half seconds.

As expected of the Ten Dynasties Divine Realm, as expected of an Immortal Divine Dynasty, and as expected of the strongest power within an Immortal Divine Dynasty!

The Zifu Holy Land before him gave him a complete sense of being insurmountable and supreme!

Compared to Zifu Holy Land, the powers of the Zhangming Emperor Realm and the White Jade Capital felt like mere weeds in terms of both feeling and temperament!!

There was simply no comparison!!

It was so vast and boundless, shining with divine light, with countless rare and precious exotic beasts flying through the Holy Land carrying people, and the number of blessed lands and grotto-heavens was beyond count!

It was no wonder the children of the prince's manors yearned so much for the current Zifu Holy Land.

Even Lin Ran was filled with a sense of longing at this moment.

*Swish, swish, swish...*

Dozens of Elders with extraordinary temperaments, solemn faces, and powerful Auras appeared out of thin air, projecting an air of authority without needing to be angry.

As soon as they appeared, the area in front of Zifu Holy Land instantly became silent, so quiet that a falling needle could be heard.

"Today, Zifu Holy Land is holding its Recruitment Ceremony. The Holy Lord has sent us here to maintain order and preside over this session's Recruitment Ceremony!"

The speaker was an Elder with white eyebrows, a goatee, dressed in a plain robe and holding a snow-white horsetail whisk, looking quite like a transcendent immortal.

"Heavens! It's Elder Jin Buyue!"

"What?! It's actually Elder Jin?!"

"Tsk tsk! Elder Jin has a significant background. It's said that on the Elder ranking list within Zifu Holy Land, he is among the very best and is extremely famous!"

"If one could become his disciple, who knows how many detours they would avoid!"

The young Prodigies looked at Jin Buyue, who was leading the group, and began whispering among themselves, their faces full of admiration.

These young Prodigies were all from the outside, having traveled thousands of miles because they admired Zifu Holy Land.

As for the children of the prince's manors, their assessment was different from these outside Prodigies and had ended long ago.

"Brother, are you also a young Prodigy who came from thousands of miles away out of admiration for Zifu Holy Land?"

Suddenly, a large hand rested gently on Lin Ran's shoulder, and a voice spoke with a grin.

Lin Ran was slightly startled and quickly looked back to find a young man with a bewitching appearance, a touch of softness between his brows, and a faint smile always hanging on his lips.

"That's right, I am indeed a young Prodigy who came from elsewhere. I heard that Zifu Holy Land is the most powerful force in the Chenxin Divine Dynasty, so I came here because of its reputation."

Lin Ran calmed his emotions and said.

"What a coincidence, I am also an outside Prodigy who came for its reputation. I wonder what your current cultivation level is, brother?"

The young man asked.

"Oh, right, my name is Chen Mu. You can just call me by my name."

"I am Lin Ran, currently at the Divine Fire Realm Ninth Heaven."

Lin Ran said calmly.

"Oh? Divine Fire Realm Ninth Heaven? It seems we aren't on the same assessment channel. Otherwise, I really would have liked to see your prowess, Brother Lin!"

Chen Mu laughed.

"Not on the same assessment channel? What does that mean?"

Lin Ran was completely confused and asked with a puzzled look.

"What?! Brother Lin, you don't even know this?!"

"Did you not do any homework and just rushed here from thousands of miles away simply because you admired Zifu Holy Land?!"

Chen Mu was repeatedly surprised and sized Lin Ran up.

But soon, he paused and said, "The so-called 'not on the same assessment channel' is because in this session's Recruitment Ceremony held by Zifu Holy Land, young Prodigies of the same cultivation stage will be assessed in the same Dao arena."

"For example, you, Brother Lin, since you are at the Divine Fire Realm Ninth Heaven, you will be assessed alongside other young Prodigies at the Divine Fire Realm."

"As for me, I am at the Divine Bridge Realm Third Heaven, so I will be assessed with other young Prodigies at the Divine Bridge Realm."

"And this Zifu Holy Land assessment is also very simple and crude; it's nothing more than fighting your way in with strength!"

"Young Prodigies within each cultivation stage will select their respective opponents through a drawing of lots."

"If you win, you advance to the next round."

"Only one hundred spots are selected for the young Prodigies of each cultivation stage."

Lin Ran nodded slightly but felt a bit puzzled. "In that case, isn't it a bit unfair?"

"If someone whose strength could have made it into the top hundred gets eliminated because they were matched together too early, wouldn't that be a loss for Zifu Holy Land?"

To his surprise, upon hearing this, Chen Mu didn't agree at all; instead, he gave a wicked smile.

"Brother Lin, sometimes, Luck is also a part of one's strength!"

Lin Ran was slightly taken aback, then laughed in realization.

They were cultivators, so they naturally believed in the concept of Luck.

Moreover, drawing lots was inherently a matter of Luck; it was fair and open, without any shady dealings.

Therefore, Chen Mu could completely say that sometimes Luck was part of one's strength, and no one would complain about it.
