Chapter 416 The three giants of the outer sect of the Shangqing Sect

A few days later, the Shangqing Sect's entrance examination meeting officially began.

Under the leadership of the deacon disciples of Shangqing Sect, all the warriors gathered at Boshang Peak came to a huge square at the outer gate.

This square is more than ten miles wide, and in the center of the square, there are more than ten test stones.

The first item in the Shangqing Sect's entrance examination is the qualification test.

All the warriors from Boshang Peak came to the square. There were densely packed warriors scattered around the square. They were bustling and lively. It seemed that there were an estimated 70,000 to 80,000 people.

"Quiet!"

Above the noisy square, a cold and solemn voice suddenly sounded. This voice carried incomparable majesty and reached every part of the square, instantly suppressing the noisy sounds in the square.

Hearing this sound, everyone was shocked, and the square instantly became quiet. Everyone looked towards the source of the sound, and saw three old men standing on the high platform in the center of the square.

And the voice just now was made by the old man in gray robe in the middle.

The aura of this gray-robed old man is as deep as the sea, and his realm is unfathomable. He is slightly beyond the realm of Yuan Dan. He is probably an extremely powerful man who has already stepped into the Tiangang realm.

As for the other two old men, their realm cultivation has also reached the peak of Yuan Dan realm.

Looking at the three profound old men on the high platform, everyone was excited and nervous. Suddenly, almost everyone in the square held their breath, and the entire huge square fell silent for an instant.

The old man in gray robe didn't say too much nonsense. After a few brief opening remarks, he calmly announced: "The test begins!"

Following the announcement of the gray-robed old man, many warriors, under the arrangements of the deacon elders and deacon disciples, walked to the more than ten test stones in front of the high platform in an orderly manner.

In addition to the three old men sitting on the high platform, there were also many deacon elders and deacon disciples presiding over this entrance examination.

Chu Jianqiu saw that among the deacons and elders there was the golden-robed old man Xia Ze who had arrived at Daqian Dynasty with Huan Feiying, and among the deacons' disciples there were those he had met when he first arrived at Boshang Peak. Deacon's disciples, Xia Cun and Li Liuwen were among them.

Tang Tianlei introduced the people on the high platform to Chu Jianqiu from the side.

The gray-robed old man in the middle is Tao Wenguang, the master of the outer sect. His cultivation is extremely advanced and he has reached the half-step Tiangang realm. He is the most powerful person among the outer sect.

In terms of real combat power, Tao Wenguang is even stronger than some elders in the inner sect.

Although Tao Wenguang's qualifications are not top-notch, they are still outstanding. However, since he was already relatively old when he entered the Shangqing Sect, he did not have much time to enter the inner sect after entering the outer sect.

Disciples of the outer sect of Shangqing Sect must pass the inner sect examination before the age of fifty before they can enter the inner sect. Otherwise, once you are over fifty, you will lose the qualification to participate in the inner examination.

Therefore, if the outer disciples of the Shangqing Sect do not enter the inner sect before the age of fifty, they basically have no chance of entering the inner sect. From now on, no matter how high your cultivation level is, you will only be an outer sect elder and not an inner sect disciple.

Of course, Shangqing Sect will not completely cut off the hope of these disciples. As long as their realm breaks through the Tiangang realm, they can be promoted from outer sect elders to inner sect elders.

However, although the Shangqing Sect left behind this path, it was really possible to pass through the outer sect to the Jin Dynasty.

There are almost no disciples who are promoted to the Tiangang realm and enter the inner sect.

Because the treatment between the outer disciples and the inner disciples is vastly different, the chances of the outer disciples breaking through to the Tiangang realm are extremely slim due to the techniques they practice and the resources they enjoy.

Not to mention the outer disciples, not even the inner disciples can break through to the Tiangang Realm.

When Tao Wenguang reached the age of fifty, he had just reached the peak of the fourth level of the Yuan Dan Realm, and was still a little short of breaking through to the fifth level of the Yuan Dan Realm.

Based on the difficulty of the assessment to be promoted to an inner sect disciple, one needs to be at least at the fifth level of the Yuan Dan realm to have a relatively high degree of confidence in passing the inner sect examination.

The possibility of passing the inner sect examination at the fourth level of the Yuan Dan Realm is almost slim.

However, Tao Wenguang's age had reached the limit at that time. If he did not participate in the inner sect assessment, he would permanently lose the qualification to participate in the inner sect assessment.

So back then, Tao Wenguang could only bite the bullet and take the inner sect exam, but in the end, when he reached the last level, Tao Wenguang still failed and could only stay in the outer sect from then on.

Back then, Tao Wenguang felt a great hatred for being left in the outer hall just half a step away. From then on, he practiced harder and harder. He was actually allowed to cultivate to the half-step Tiangang realm in the outer hall with amazing perseverance. , now there is only a thin line between the real Tiangang realm.

But it is not easy to break through this line. In history, I don’t know how many people have been blocked from this line and will always stop here.

However, although Tao Wenguang has not officially broken through to Tiangang Realm, his combat power is extremely powerful and is not inferior to some ordinary Tiangang Realm experts.

So sometimes even the elders of the inner sect would respect him.

Tao Wenguang undoubtedly became the leader of the Outer Gate Hall with his profound knowledge and powerful strength, and controlled the entire Outer Gate Hall.

As a result, the Tao family became the largest giant among the outer sect.

In addition to the Tao family, there are two other huge forces in the outer sect that cannot be underestimated.

One of them is the Xia family and the other is the Li family.

The old men sitting on either side of the gray-robed old man Tao Wenguang on the high platform are the head of the Xia family and the head of the Li family respectively.

The old man sitting on the left side of Tao Wenguang is Xia Yang, the head of the Xia family, and the one sitting on the right is Li Shan, the head of the Li family. These two people are respectively the deputy heads of the outer hall. Apart from Tao Wenguang, they are the most important people in the outer hall. The two most powerful people in the world.

Although Xia Yang and Li Shan are not as profound as Tao Wenguang, they are still strong men at the peak of the Yuan Dan realm, and both the Xia family and the Li family have deep connections with the inner sect.

So in terms of power, the Xia family and the Li family are not inferior to the Tao family.

The entire outer sect is basically controlled by the three giants: Tao family, Xia family and Li family. Among the outer sect, anyone who offends any of these three families will not have a good life.

After Chu Jianqiu heard what Tang Tianlei said, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Xia family was so powerful among the outer sect of the Shangqing Sect.

It seems that this time the entrance examination may not be so smooth. He has taken over the Daqian Dynasty controlled by the Xia family, which is equivalent to offending the entire Xia family to death. How can the Xia family make it easier for him.

Moreover, Aunt Zhou also said at that time that if the Xuanjian Sect wanted to lead the Daqian Dynasty, she must become a disciple of the Shangqing Sect, otherwise, the Daqian Dynasty would be handed over to the Xia family.

The Xia family will definitely obstruct themselves at all costs during this inner sect assessment.
