Celestial Emperor of Devouring-Chapter 717 - 707: Recruiting Genius Disciples

Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion.

Today, the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion is bustling with activity.

Ever since the news spread about the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion recruiting disciples.

In less than an hour.

The palace square of the Immortal Mansion was teeming with people, even outside the palace, heads bobbed densely, at least over a hundred thousand people.

Profound Immortals, Daluo Golden Immortals, Immortal Kings, and even Immortal Monarchs have arrived.

Those unaware might think some major power is about to attack the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion.

Recruiting disciples at the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion is indeed extraordinary.

"Isn't this too many people? And there are also quite a few strong ones!" Ice Phoenix said, aghast, her whole being petrified.

The Grand Commander said calmly, "Back in the day when the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion recruited disciples, it was very strict, and the ancestor recruited only talented disciples; among these people, probably less than a hundred."

"Less than a hundred?" Ice Phoenix looked at the Grand Commander in shock, hardly believing, "Is it really that strict?"

"Indeed." The Grand Commander nodded, saying, "At that time, Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion recruited not only based on talent but also paid attention to one's character. Those with ill intentions or vile nature, no matter how talented, were not taken."

Ice Phoenix asked again, "How many people were recruited back then?"

The Grand Commander replied, "Only seven were recruited in the last round."

"What? Seven people?" Ice Phoenix was stunned, frowned, and thought to herself, "The master made a wrong judgment back then, leading to the decline of the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion today. Otherwise, it would surely be the most powerful force in the Immortal Realm."

If the betrayal hadn't happened, with his terrifying power combined with figures like Yun Emperor, they would definitely have been able to dominate the Immortal Realm.

It's a pity that no one expected the betrayal of Gu Chenfeng.

These young talents from all directions had eyes gleaming with anticipation and longing, some dressed plainly, others in luxurious garments, but without exception, all of them dreamt of joining the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion.

More accurately, to join an elite status.

Once joining a supreme force, it equates to having a powerful backing.

Yet.

Upon seeing the desolate Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion, everyone was stupefied.

"What's going on? Why is the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion without a single disciple visible?"

"Could they all be in seclusion? That's impossible; surely some disciples would guard the mountain gate?"

"Strange! Where have the Immortal Mansion disciples gone?"

Everyone debated and puzzled over it.

Of course.

They dared not be too loud, nor speculate further.

The Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion was one of the dominant powers in the Immortal Realm, possessing extremely terrifying strength, so they dared not be presumptuous.

At this moment.

In front of the hall.

A figure flashed and appeared; it was Gu Chenfeng.

Gu Chenfeng had returned to the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion.

"Master!"

"Ancestor!"

Ice Phoenix and the Grand Commander bowed respectfully.

Seeing the sea of people at the Immortal Mansion, Gu Chenfeng expressed surprise, "Oh? I didn't expect this many people?"

The Grand Commander reported respectfully, "Ancestor, the Grand Elder said the Immortal Mansion is recruiting talented disciples based on the conditions from back then."

"Hmm." Gu Chenfeng nodded.

The conditions for recruiting disciples back then were proposed by Gu Chenfeng himself.

In no time.

A surge of vast and magnificent momentum suddenly swept across the sky above the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion.

Three great Elders simultaneously appeared.

At this moment.

The entire crowd fell silent, no one dared to act rashly.

The leading Grand Elder, dressed in an immaculate snowy white robe, his hair like silver threads flowing in the wind. On his weathered face, his eyes were as bright and sharp as cold stars, sweeping over the dense crowd below like electricity.

"Today marks the period when Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion recruits disciples; the Mansion values Immortal Bone, aptitude, and character. Those who pass the tests can become disciples of Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion and inherit the Supreme Dao Skill."

"I must make it clear: Immortal Bone, aptitude, and character are indispensable; those with ill intentions and schemes should be spared. Let the tests begin."

The Grand Elder's deep and resonant voice bore a certain magical power, clearly transmitting into each person's ears.

These concise words were like a powerful bomb exploding among the crowd, instantly igniting everyone's enthusiasm.

The first test is the Immortal Bone test.

With a wave of the Grand Elder's hand, a massive Crystal Stele on the plaza gleamed with mysterious light under the sun, like a rare treasure.

At this moment.

The Grand Commander flashed and appeared.

He looked at the young man at the very front and sternly said, "You, come up for the test."

The young man ran up with an uneasy heart, then nervously placed his hand on the Crystal Stele.

A moment later.

The Crystal Stele emitted a faint blue glow.

This indicated his root bone was not outstanding.

The Grand Commander glanced at him and sternly said, "Next."

The young man's face instantly revealed disappointment and dejection, yet he gritted his teeth and silently stepped back.

Another well-dressed youth stepped forward, confidently placing his hand on the Crystal Stele, but the glow remained dim.

"No way? Is my Immortal Bone really this poor?"

The youth's complexion turned very unsightly; he could hardly believe he failed so badly, muttering as if complaining about something.

The Grand Commander said expressionlessly, "Next."

A girl ran up full of tension.

When the pretty girl placed her hand on the Crystal Stele, it suddenly burst into a dazzling light, radiant as glittering stars.

"Wow!" The girl exclaimed, mouth agape.

"Oh?" Gu Chenfeng marveled, "Top Grade Immortal Bone, quite the genius; hopefully, more geniuses will emerge."

"Top Grade Immortal Bone, very impressive." The three Elders nodded in satisfaction.

"Top Grade Immortal Bone!"

"She actually has Top Grade Immortal Bone! So enviable!"

The surrounding people immediately exclaimed, filled with envy beyond measure.

"Fantastic! Top Grade Immortal Bone!" The girl's face also bore a delighted smile, eyes brimming with uncontrollable joy.

The Grand Commander smiled faintly, "Congratulations, you advance to the next test."

As time passed, the young individuals stepped forward one by one, each placing their hand on the Crystal Stele with anticipation.

Some triggered dim glows upon pressing, while others incited brilliant light that caused surrounding gasps of astonishment.

Time ticked away moment by moment.

Only a few dozen passed the root bone test, faces both excited and nervous, expecting the next test eagerly.

Undeniably.

The requirements for recruiting disciples at Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion were extremely strict.

At this time.

The Grand Elder slowly spoke, "Next comes the aptitude test. Even if one passes the first test, failure in the aptitude test means also failing to join the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion."

Upon hearing this.

Dozens of young men and women had faces filled with nervousness and expectation.
