Wang Daoyun was once a genius warrior in the Nine Saints Territory.
He rose quickly and joined the Heaven-Defying Alliance, becoming a disciple of the Dao Palace.
It was said that there were several invincible Saints behind Wang Daoyun.
Many elders in the Heaven-Defying Alliance expressed their fondness for Wang Daoyun and wanted to take him as a disciple, but they couldn't compete with others.
This time, Wang Daoyun was personally in charge of the recruitment test of the Nine Domains.
When the news spread, it instantly caused a huge commotion in Nine Saints City, and even the entire Nine Saints Territory.
Countless martial artists who had come to participate in the test wanted to see just how strong the super genius who had once shaken the Nine Regions was.
For a time, there were many legends about Wang Daoyun in the streets.
A few days later.
Fang Chen was cultivating. He was comprehending the Origin of Metal that the Blood Cavalry Saint had left behind.
This book recorded the Blood Cavalry Saint's life's work.
Metal was extremely sharp, and the Origin of Metal also contained an extremely sharp aura.
Fang Chen had condensed the Origin of Metal long ago, but it was still difficult to comprehend it.
Whoosh!
After cultivating for a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and took a deep breath. A helpless look appeared on his face.
"Is it so difficult to comprehend the Origin in the Yin-Yang Origin Stage?"
Fang Chen shook his head.
The Origin could only be comprehended in the Saint Realm. It was extremely difficult to comprehend it in the Yin-Yang Origin Stage.
"At the beginning of the chaos, Yin and Yang were born, and then the Origin of the Five Elements."
Fang Chen murmured.
He opened the book again, and his gaze fell on a small line of words on the first page.
This line of words indicated that the reason why it was difficult to comprehend the Origin in the Yin-Yang Origin Stage was that the condensed Yin and Yang contained a thin amount of Yin and Yang Origin Stage.
This was the biggest obstacle for warriors to comprehend the Origin.
"Looks like it's true."
At first, Fang Chen didn't believe it, but now he did.
His Yin and Yang Origin Stage had reached an unprecedented three thousand feet, and it had even evolved into Yin and Yang Origin Stage.
He had once used the Yin and Yang Origin Stage to block the attack of the Origin.
Ordinary warriors only had a thin amount of the Origin in their Yin and Yang Origin Stage. His Yin and Yang Origin Stage contained the Yin and Yang Origin Stage at the beginning of the world.
Therefore, it was even more difficult for him to comprehend the Origin compared to ordinary martial artists.
"Forget it, there's no rush."
Although he was still unable to step into the Saint Realm, his true combat power could already defeat a Third Level Holy King.
"Brother Fang."
Suddenly, Yuan Venerate Han walked in with a delighted look on his face.
"Senior Brother Wang is already here. I've already introduced you to him. He's quite curious about you and wants to meet you."
"Oh?"
Fang Chen's expression changed slightly. Wang Daoyun wanted to see him?
A moment later, Yuan Venerate Han brought Fang Chen to the highest floor of the Nine-Zone Branch Tower.
The fragrance of sandalwood filled the air, and the interior of the pavilion was very simple.
There was a praying mat in the middle, and a middle-aged man was sitting on it.
Fang Chen's gaze fell on Wang Daoyun.
Suddenly, he felt a terrifying power coming at him.
He couldn't help but take a few steps back. He took a deep breath, and his heart was in turmoil.
"Senior Brother Wang."
Yuan Venerate Han said softly.
At that moment, Wang Daoyun slowly opened his eyes.
He stared straight at Fang Chen, who felt uneasy all over, as if all his secrets had been thoroughly explored.
After a long time, Wang Daoyun looked away.
"Not bad."
He was a man of few words and only said the word "not bad".
If the disciples of the Heaven-Defying Alliance knew that Wang Daoyun had such an evaluation of Fang Chen, they would definitely be shocked.
"Junior Fang Chen pays his respects to Senior Brother Wang."
Fang Chen cupped his fists in greeting.
"After me, no other genius has appeared in the Nine-Zone Branch Tower. I hope you won't disappoint me."
After all, Wang Daoyun had also come from the Nine-Zone Branch Tower. Therefore, he was rather concerned about the geniuses of the Nine-Zone Branch Tower.
"Alright, you may leave first. The assessment will begin tomorrow. Go back and prepare."
Fang Chen nodded and turned to leave.
"Senior Brother Wang."
Yuan Venerate Han hesitated.
Wang Daoyun got up. "His potential is very strong. At least in my opinion, he is considered rare in the Heaven-Defying Alliance.
However, what makes me curious is his bloodline. When I probed his bloodline, I actually felt a slight throb. "
Wang Daoyun was already a peak Sixth-Level Sacred Emperor.
As long as the Saints didn't appear, he could dominate the world.
His bloodline was also one of the strongest bloodlines in the current era.
However, when he probed Fang Chen's bloodline, he clearly felt his own bloodline tremble.
Wang Daoyun naturally knew what this meant.
"Tell me more about him."
"Yes, Senior Brother Wang."
…
On the way back to the courtyard, Fang Chen was also pondering why Wang Daoyun had summoned him.
"Could it be just curiosity?"
Fang Chen muttered to himself.
He could sense that Wang Daoyun didn't have any enmity toward him.
"Forget it."
He shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
A few hours later, Yuan Venerate Han returned.
There was a hint of joy on his face, as if he had a very happy conversation with Wang Daoyun.
"Brother Fang, the assessment will officially begin tomorrow. Don't cultivate today. I'll take you out to relax."
Yuan Venerate Han added, "Nine Saint City is very prosperous and there are many good places.
Furthermore, the number of disciples recruited this time is limited. You can also get to know your opponents in advance. "
Fang Chen thought about it for a moment before nodding in agreement.
It had to be said that as the core of the Nine Saint Territory, it was also the most prosperous city.
The prosperity of Nine Saint City exceeded Fang Chen's imagination.
Perfected Yin-Yang Origin Grade Martialists were everywhere and even some pseudo-Saints could be seen on the streets.
Fang Chen was speechless. After all, Mo Tao of the Scenic Demon Territory was only a pseudo-Saint.
"The path of cultivation is a long one. The higher one's cultivation base, the further one can see. Therefore, they don't care too much about worldly power. They can rely on their own strength to obtain more," Yuan Venerate Han said.
Yuan Venerate Han said. "Only Mo Tao would go to a barbaric weave like the Scenic Demon Weave. No one else would waste their time there."
Natural selection, survival of the fittest.
The world of cultivation was too cruel.
Unknowingly, the two of them arrived in front of a drum tower.
The drum tower was thousands of feet tall and there were nine bells and drums placed at the top.
Every bell and drum was bronze in color and the faint sound of bells and drums could be heard.
"Brother Fang, this is the Sacred Drum Tower."
No matter what it was, as long as it was tainted with the word "Saint", it was very unusual.
Fang Chen lifted his head and looked at the top of the Sacred Drum Tower.
At the moment, there was a dense crowd of martialists below the Sacred Drum Tower.
Many of them had come to participate in the disciple recruitment test of the Heaven-Defying Alliance.
"Legend has it that the Sacred Drum Tower was left behind by a Saint.
Its purpose is to test the talent of the many martialists in the Nine Saint Territory. The more bells and drums are rung, the higher the talent of the martialists. "
Yuan Venerate Han explained.
"Oh?"
Fang Chen was surprised. He had not expected that these nine ordinary-looking bells and drums would actually be left behind by a Saint.
Actually, what Fang Chen did not know was that the bells and drums on the Sacred Drum Tower had once contained the inheritance and comprehension of the Origin Source left behind by the Saint.
Unfortunately, it had already been taken away by the major factions over the years.
Now, these nine bells and drums could only be used to test one's talent.
Whoosh!
While Yuan Venerate Han was speaking, a figure leaped up and stepped onto the top of the Sacred Drum Tower.
Dong! Dong!
Dong! Then, he could be seen channeling his power into the first drum.
Dong!
The first bell let out a long and drawn-out sound.
Dong!
The second drum was rung as well. The person continued to move to the third drum.
"Ha!"
He roared and unleashed his full power.
However, he failed at the last step. The third drum was indifferent.
Bang!
He suffered a backlash and retreated.
"Two drums. That's not bad."
Yuan Venerate Han nodded as the crowd began to discuss.
"How can one's talent be determined by the sound of these drums?"
Fang Chen asked, "How many drums did Senior Brother Wang Daoyun sound?"
"Two drums is normal. Generally speaking, three drums is considered not bad. Four drums is already considered an outstanding genius qualified to join the Heaven-Defying Alliance."
"Five drums is considered one of the top disciples in the Heaven-Defying Alliance. Six drums is enough to enter the Dao Palace."
Yuan Venerate Han paused for a moment.
Then, he enunciated each word clearly.
"Senior Brother Wang once sounded seven drums in one go and his name shook the Nine Regions."
Fang Chen was shocked. He had not expected Wang Daoyun to sound seven drums. It seemed like his potential was really impressive.
"At the time, the Nine Regions Branch contacted Senior Brother Wang and recommended him to the Heaven-Defying Alliance. After some training, he successfully entered the Dao Palace. Now, Senior Brother Wang is also very famous in the Dao Palace."
"Has no one in the Nine Regions been able to sound seven drums?"
Fang Chen was curious.
Yuan Venerate Han shook his head.
"Anyone who can sound seven drums is considered to be at the top of the Dao Palace. After all, the Nine Regions Branch is located in the most remote areas of the Godsfall Battlefield. Cultivation resources are scarce, so it is very difficult for such geniuses to appear."
"According to my speculations, the top person in the Dao Palace should be able to sound eight drums. As for nine drums, that person should be chosen by the heavens, right?"
Yuan Venerate Han muttered to himself.
From time to time, martialists would ascend the Sacred Drum Tower and sound the drums.
The sound of the drums echoed for a long time.
However, most of them only sounded two drums.
During this period, there were also people who sounded three drums. As for those who sounded four drums, they did not appear for the time being.
"The real top geniuses did not make a move."
Yuan Venerate Han said.
He told them that Crazy Blade Li, Duan Jing of the Duanmo Family, and the princess of the Tianqin Family could sound at least four drums. It was even possible that they could sound five drums.
However, they did not appear.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd.
Immediately after, the crowd opened up a path for him.
"Huh?
It's him? "
Fang Chen recognized the person. It was the man in the brocade robes.
The man in the brocade robes strode toward the Sacred Drum Tower with his head held high.
Everyone made way for him.
"Oh my god, why is this guy here too?"
"This guy is overbearing. We should stay away from him."
