Heaven, Earth, Mystic, and Yellow were the ranks of most Primary Masters. Heavenly Masters, on the other hand, were of a higher rank. Normally, only those who had reached the Sage realm could lay down true Sage Formations, easily find ki stones, and establish ki veins.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Heavenly Masters were incomparably noble. Many cultivators followed them and treated them with respect.
Yao Yue was qualified to be called a Heavenly Master at such a young age. It was definitely a great honor.
"Your two senior brothers are right. Yue Er, you might have joined the sect late, but your talent is extremely high. Compared to you, your eldest senior brother and second senior brother are somewhat lacking. That's why you and I will take the Heavenly Master test.
However, that doesn't mean your eldest senior brother and second senior brother don't have a chance. If they can pass the ordinary test, they can also take the Heavenly Master test together. If our Solitude Mountain has four Heavenly Masters, they will definitely become intermediate members, "Solitarius said.
Yao Yue could only nod and agree. "Since that's the case, I will do my best. I will not bring shame to the sect!"
"Very well. Let's continue on our journey. I can teach you more things in a month," Solitarius said.
And so, the group continued on their way to Huang Clan City.
After nearly a month, they had already arrived at the outskirts of the Huang Clan City!
Looking from afar, the Huang Family City was made of ancient stones and was reinforced by an extremely high-level array formation. Even if a Saint were to fight here, they would not be able to destroy the stone walls!
This was the foundation of the Primary Master Clans.
Right now, the city gate was already extremely lively. There were countless people entering the city. From the looks of it, they were all here for the Yuan Master Assembly!
"It seems that this year's Primary Master Gathering will be an extremely lively competition," Solitarius sighed.
"Master, isn't it enough to just finish the test?
What is there to fight about? "Yao Yue asked in confusion.
"The test is a competition.
The Primary Master Gathering will set the test. Whoever can finish the test faster will prove that they are stronger. The higher the score, the higher the individual's rank, and the higher the chance of entering the Primary Master Gathering.
Solitarius explained.
"Understood. In other words, the test isn't a one-on-one test, but a competition with other factions!" Yao Yue replied.
"That's right, but the initial stage of the test is indeed individual. If you can't even pass the initial stage, you won't even have the chance to enter the next stage!" Solitarius said.
As they spoke, they walked into the Huang Clan's city.
However, before they could enter the city, a group of people suddenly blocked their path!
"Are you guys here to participate in the Yuan Master Association's examination?" The leader of the group, a young man with sloppy ears, looked at Yao Yue's group and asked.
This young man looked like a hooligan, but the clothes he was wearing were extremely luxurious, and there were seven or eight lackeys beside him. Their strength had already reached the Primitive Emperor realm, and there were even some who had reached the Great Emperor realm.
No one could understand what they were trying to do!
However, Yao Yue's group had already changed into the Yuan Master's robes, which made them obvious that they were from the Yuan Master Association.
"Scram!" Before Solitarius could say anything, Gudu Shichen had already shouted at them.
He didn't release the aura of a Sage, but his voice alone was enough to scare the people in front of him!
"Don't be so arrogant. We are from the Huang Clan, and this is the young master of the Huang Clan. If you want to enter the Yuan Master Association's examination, you better come over and apologize. Otherwise, don't even think about passing the examination!" One of the young man's lackeys boldly said.
"That's right. I don't care how strong you are, and I don't care where you come from. As long as you enter my Huang Clan's city, you will have to show your filial piety to this young master. Otherwise, you will go back crying!" The young man said arrogantly.
"Scram!" Gudu Shichen shouted impatiently, and a wisp of the aura of a Sage was released.
Ahhh!
They were immediately sent flying by the shockwave.
"A bunch of trash. I really suspect that they are pretending to be members of the Huang Clan!" Dong Luming said disdainfully.
"Let's go. There are blind dogs everywhere!" Solitarius said disapprovingly.
After saying that, the group headed into the city.
"Young, young master, what should we do?
It seems that these people are not to be trifled with! "The lackey who spoke earlier helped the young man up.
"Damn it! I wanted to extort some primal stones from them, but I didn't expect to meet such a tough opponent as soon as I came out. I won't let this go. I am a member of the Huang Clan, yet I am being bullied like this.
How embarrassing! "The young man cursed angrily. He paused for a moment and said to the lackey," Go and keep an eye on them. Find out where they are staying.
I will go and find help. I want them to scram from the Huang Clan's city! "
Thus, the group split into two groups, preparing to cause trouble for Yao Yue's group.
Yao Yue's group was aware of the situation, but they didn't pay attention to them.
No matter what, they were Sages. How could they be bothered to bicker with these insignificant people?
Inside the Huang Clan's city, there was an endless stream of people and carriages. It was extremely lively.
Among these people walking around, one could see Yuan Masters that were rarely seen. They wore the robes of their respective forces, indicating their identities and showing a side that was different from the rest.
Yao Yue's group didn't have the time to stroll around the city. Instead, they found the nearest luxurious restaurant and went in to have a drink.
Among the few of them, only Gudu Xiaofan was constantly looking around curiously, and he seemed to be very curious and happy!
Gudu Xiaofan was almost twenty years old, but he was still a little timid. He hadn't seen much of the world, so he looked a little timid.
Yao Yue patted his shoulder and said, "Xiaofan, no matter who or what you look at, you have to look at it openly. Don't be evasive. People will think that you are a thief."
"Big Brother Yao Yue, I-I understand." Gudu Xiaofan looked at Yao Yue embarrassedly.
"Yes. We cultivators aren't superior to others, but we aren't weak either. We need to have basic confidence in ourselves. Only then can we continue to grow stronger," Yao Yue taught Gudu Xiaofan.
"That's right, Xiaofan.
After resting for a while in the restaurant, let your Big Brother Yao Yue take you around. It's time for you to see the world! "Gudu Liu said to Gudu Xiaofan with a kind expression.
Although Solitarius thought highly of Yao Yue, he placed his hopes on Gudu Xiaofan because they had the same bloodline.
After arriving at the restaurant, they casually chose an inconspicuous place to sit down.
The place was already packed with people. It was already good enough to have a place to sit.
After all, this was a restaurant owned by the Huang Clan. Many people would come here to drink out of respect for the Huang Clan.
As soon as Yao Yue's group sat down, the lackey who had been watching Yao Yue's group immediately returned to report to his master.
"It seems like there won't be peace later," Solitarius sighed.
"Master, do you want me to deal with them?" Gudu Xiaofan asked with a vicious look.
"Xiaofan, you are too vicious. Don't use such methods to deal with them," Solitarius said. After a pause, he asked Dong Luming, "Luming, how do you think we should deal with them?"
Dong Luming pondered for a moment and said, "Convince them with reason. If that doesn't work, then force. Try peaceful means before resorting to force.
After all, this is the Huang Clan's territory. It won't be good for anyone if things get out of hand. "
"En, it's best to avoid unnecessary trouble when we're outside. This time, we're here for the test!" Gudu Liu agreed.
Not long after, a group of people hurriedly arrived at the restaurant.
They were the people that the ruffian young man had brought. Judging from their aggressive manner, they were definitely not friendly.
The ruffian young man pointed at Yao Yue's group and shouted, "Uncle Fu, it's them. Remember, if they are going to participate in the Yuan Master Gathering, don't let them take the test!"
Behind the ruffian young man was a fat middle-aged man with a big belly. He was dressed in Yuan Master attire, so it was obvious that he was a Yuan Master.
At this moment, the people in the restaurant started pointing at them.
"That young man seems to be the young master of the city lord's manor, Huang Duan. That middle-aged man should be Huang Youfu's butler. I heard that he is the one in charge of verifying the candidates."
"Yeah, I wonder who those people are. They offended the Huang Clan as soon as they arrived. Now, they won't even have a chance to take the test.
It's like they are dying before they can achieve victory. "
"Hehe, isn't that good?
With a few fewer opponents, our chances of success will increase by a notch! "
"Let's wait and see. Since they aren't afraid of the Huang Clan, they must have something to rely on."
…
"You are the ones who offended my young master?
How dare you! Where did you come from? Don't you know that this is the Huang Clan's city? "Huang Youfu shouted arrogantly.
Dong Luming immediately stood up and cupped his fists, "Greetings, grandmaster. We are Yuan Masters from Lofty Mountain City. If we have offended you in any way, please do not hesitate to send us a message."
"What Yuan Masters are there in Lofty Mountain City?
I have never heard of them. Apologize to my young master. If my young master is not satisfied, you can forget about taking the test, "Huang Youfu threatened.
"What arrogance. Are you really the ones who set up the Yuan Master Gathering?" Solitarius was displeased.
"Oh, it seems like you still don't understand the situation. The Yuan Master Gathering is set up by the Huang Clan," Huang Duan sneered.
Huang Duan sneered. He paused for a moment before looking at Huang Youfu and saying, "Uncle Youfu, I don't think there's any need to waste your breath on them. Remember their faces. When the examination begins, remove their qualifications. Let's see how they cry then."
Huang Duan's words angered Solitarius and Gudu Shichen.
"Let's see who dares to remove their qualifications," a faint voice came from the restaurant's entrance.
