The massive stone gate quietly stood in the vast heavens and earth, as if it had existed since the ancient times.
Outside the stone gate, the geniuses of the Greatlaw Continent all looked at the stone gate with blazing gazes filled with eagerness. This ancient stone gate was the entrance to the Ancient Haven Palace, and only by passing through it could they obtain the qualification to enter the Ancient Haven Palace.
Under the covetous gazes of countless experts, as time passed, someone broke the stalemate and took the lead to appear.
"Haha, since everyone is so cautious, then let our Hill-Moving Sect have a taste of the Dragon Ascension Gate!"
Along with a burst of laughter, several silhouettes soared into the sky and hovered before the Dragon Ascension Gate.
Everyone's gazes had immediately gathered over.
Mu Chen's gaze was also directed over at the first instant. He saw several figures donned in grey robes, with a grey-clothed man standing at the front. He had a tall and robust figure, with grey light runes on the surface of his body. Those light runes made his body possess a dreadfully heavy feeling, as if he wasn't a person, but a mountain standing before him.
When Mu Chen saw that person, a piece of information flashed in his mind, "Lin Jie of the Hill-Moving Sect, Ninth Grade Sovereign Realm, Ranked 28th on the Expert Ranking."
Evidently, Lin Jie wasn't a nameless figure. Since he could be ranked in the Expert Ranking, that meant that he had some fame in the Greatlaw Continent.
If it was in normal times, Lin Jie would definitely be the focus of attention when he appeared. But there were too many geniuses here, even someone like Su Qingyin had appeared. So Lin Jie was a little dim, but his strength was undeniable.
Lin Jie appeared in mid-air. He stared at the huge ancient stone door with a fiery gaze and took a deep breath. Without any hesitation, he turned into a stream of light and shot toward the stone door.
Every single gaze in this region was fixed on his silhouette.
Rustle!
Under everyone's gazes, Lin Jie's silhouette appeared before the Dragon Ascension Gate in a flash and Lin Jie's silhouette disappeared from the Dragon Ascension Gate.
Seeing Lin Jie's figure disappear, the crowd anxiously waited.
The entire region was silent as everyone stared at the Dragon Ascension Gate. After Lin Jie was sucked in, there was no movement from the ancient stone gate...
However, this silence did not last forever.
Buzz!
Faint trembling noises rang out from the ancient gate as light flowed on the stone gate, along with mysterious runes that were constantly surging.
Creak!
The tightly closed stone door slowly opened a little and a ray of light shot out. Within the light, a slightly embarrassed figure flashed out and appeared in the sky. It was Lin Jie who had entered the Dragon Ascension Gate.
After Lin Jie appeared, a ray of light quickly condensed in front of him and finally turned into a simple token.
Whoosh!
Countless gazes were directed over as they stared at the token.
Mu Chen also focused his gaze over and saw that there was a soaring eagle on the token. That eagle was faintly green in colour.
"It's the Azure Eagle Token!"
Many experts were also sharp-eyed. Immediately, many of them exclaimed in a low voice. Soon after, many experts were slightly moved. They were not shocked by Lin Jie's results, but by the fact that Lin Jie could barely be considered a Green Eagle Token Disciple despite his strength.
According to the ranking, the Azure Eagle Token could only be considered as average.
Lin Jie was ranked in the top thirty of the Expert Ranking. If he was placed in any top-tiered force in the Greatlaw Continent, he would definitely be qualified to be a core figure and receive great nurturing.
"The Ancient Haven Palace's evaluation is too harsh."
Someone's face turned pale. Their strength was inferior to Lin Jie, so wouldn't they only obtain the Wolf Token Disciple status if they were to be evaluated?
That's practically the lowest rank in the Ancient Haven Palace.
"Looks like it won't be easy to be a Dragon Token Disciple." Mu Chen's face turned grave as he exchanged a glance with Jiu You.
"Not to mention a Dragon Token Disciple, I'm afraid that it won't be easy to obtain a Flood Dragon Token. The Ancient Haven Palace is truly worthy of being the Overlord of the Greatlaw Continent …" Jiu You helplessly smiled.
Mu Chen nodded his head, but he did not feel too much disbelief. With the foundation of the Ancient Haven Palace, ordinary geniuses could only be commoners in there. Only those that stood at the pinnacle could stand out.
Facing everyone's sighing gazes, Lin Jie smiled bitterly as he looked at the Azure Eagle Plaque floating in front of him. He was naturally a little dissatisfied with the results, but he could only sigh when he thought of the difficulty of the Dragon Ascension Gate.
Lin Jie stretched his hand out and held onto the Azure Eagle Token. Instantly, an azure lustre blossomed from the Azure Eagle Token and enveloped him before he turned into an azure lustre and flew out.
When the Spiritual Energy rays came in contact with the azure lustre, they automatically dissipated, allowing Lin Jie's silhouette to pass through the Spiritual Array and disappear.
"He went in?"
Everyone widened their eyes at this scene with joy on their faces. It looked like their expectations were right. As long as they obtained an identity token, they would be able to pass through the Spiritual Array.
Furthermore, judging from Lin Jie's disappearance, what they saw was clearly an illusion. Only by passing through the Spiritual Array would they be able to see the real Ancient Haven Palace.
The atmosphere instantly heated up. The experts of the other forces also heaved a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders.
Rustle!
The experts of the Hillmoving Sect that followed Lin Jie had also charged into the Dragon Ascension Gate without any hesitation. This time, they didn't even have the time to enter. In just ten-odd breaths, they were all thrown out.
Furthermore, all of the tokens that they obtained were Azure Wolf Tokens.
Evidently, their evaluation results were inferior to Lin Jie.
When the experts of the Hillshift Sect saw this scene, they bitterly smiled before they grabbed onto the Azure Wolf Tokens and entered the Spiritual Array with the azure lustre, disappearing.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
As the Hillshift Sect's party passed through the Spiritual Array, the other forces also felt relieved. Thereafter, whizzing sounds of wind constantly resounded in this region as countless silhouettes flew out and charged towards the Dragon Ascension Gate.
Buzz!
Buzz! Lustre constantly swept out from the Dragon Ascension Gate, sucking anyone that approached it in.
Over the next period of time, the Dragon Ascension Gate became extremely bustling with people being sucked in and light gushing out. White, azure and even golden lights were gushing out.
Mu Chen was paying attention to all of this. He realised that from the start till now, the highest ranked token that had appeared was a Golden Hawk Token. The owner of that token was ranked 21st on the Expert Ranking, only one rank lower than Mu Chen.
"If I'm only going by this ranking, I'm afraid that I'm only a Golden Hawk Disciple at best." Mu Chen scratched his head with a self-ridiculing smile.
"Stop acting …" Facing his self-ridicule, Jiu You rolled her eyes. She knew better than anyone how many trump cards Mu Chen had. Not to mention a Ninth Grade Sovereign, even a Perfected Ninth Grade Sovereign was something that Mu Chen could fight.
"Someone powerful is making a move." Lin Jing, who was watching from the side, suddenly spoke out.
When Mu Chen and Jiu You heard her words, their expressions changed and they saw Liu Gui, Wang Tongxian and Qin Jingzhe flying towards the Dragon Ascension Gate at the same time.
Evidently, they couldn't hold it in any longer.
As one of the top-ranked geniuses in this region, their actions had immediately attracted many people's attention. Thereafter, the various forces had directed their gazes onto them.
Rustle!
The three silhouettes had practically disappeared from the Dragon Ascension Gate at the same time.
Along with the disappearance of Qin Jingzhe's group of three, the Dragon Ascension Gate had turned quieter. Evidently, many people had stopped and were waiting to see the evaluation of the three geniuses.
Time swiftly flowed.
This time, the time taken for the three of them to enter the Dragon Ascension Gate was much longer than the previous ones, which made many people's eyelids twitch. Judging from the looks of it, the Golden Hawk Plaque's record was going to be broken?
Buzz!
Buzz! While everyone was guessing in their hearts, the Dragon Ascension Gate, which had been quiet for a long time, finally showed a commotion and a thick lustre gushed out.
Three lustre swiftly gathered in the sky and formed into three silhouettes, it was Qin Jingzhe's group of three.
When the three of them appeared, they immediately looked before them and the lustre had formed into three plaques.
Innumerable gazes instantly shot over. Shortly after, a low uproar resounded.
In front of Liu Ming, a simple and unadorned token condensed. On the token, there was a white serpent entrenched on it, while a powerful fluctuation radiated from it.
"The White Wyrm Plaque!
Liu Gui has obtained the status of a White Wyrm Disciple! "
Someone exclaimed. Someone had finally been evaluated as a Wyrm Plaque Disciple by the Dragon Ascension Gate?
"Wang Tongxian is also a White Wyrm Disciple!"
Someone also noticed the plaque before Wang Tongxian. It was also a plaque with a white wyrm coiling on it.
"What about Qin Jingzhe?"
Countless gazes looked before Qin Jingzhe and saw a plaque floating before him with a golden lustre surging on it, forming into a ferocious golden wyrm.
"That's …" Mu Chen stared at the token that was emitting a golden light as he couldn't help narrowing his eyes.
"Golden Wyrm Plaque!"
Even someone as powerful as Qin Jingzhe only obtained the status of a Golden Wyrm Disciple. He couldn't even obtain the lowest White Dragon Plaque.
The difficulty of the Dragon Ascension Gate was actually this high?!
