Chapter 418: Chapter 418 Center God Province . Ascender Examination .

Along the way, Emissary Li Qing and the others continued to chat with Zhou Xuanji, which attracted passersby’s attention .

The passersby did not know Zhou Xuanji and thought that he was a new disciple .

A new disciple that Emissary Li Qing fetched personally must have an impressive background .

Many people remembered Zhou Xuanji’s face to try to loop him in when they encountered him again in the future .

After walking for an hour .

Emissary Li Qing and the rest stopped before a flight of stairs at the foot of a gigantic mountain .

This flight of stairs had tens of thousands of steps, connecting them straight to the mountain shoulder where a massive palace stood . The main gate had a cauldron that was dozens of meters high, and three candles as thick as pillars were burning in it . The smell of incense pervaded the area .

“Go up . We cannot enter the palace,” Emissary Li Qing said with a smile . Zhou Xuanji nodded and brought Bai Suwan up the stairs .

This distance was nothing to him .

He did not walk quickly but ambled forward .

Bai Suwan looked around excitedly .

“Hey,” Zhou Xuanji asked, “Will your elders come to fetch you later?”

The Nine Heaven Divine Snake Clan was widely connected . The mortal realms that the clan members descend to were all under their influence so that it was convenient to take care of the members after they ascended .

Bai Suwan snorted, “I don’t want to go back . I want to follow you . You just arrived here and made so many enemies . I will protect you . ”

Zhou Xuanji felt humorous . You are merely a Great Tribulation Scattered Immortal, and you want to protect me?

But he was still moved in his heart .

I did not teach you for a year for nothing .

He walked to the top of the stairs, and the main gate of the palace opened at the same time .

Three men and two ladies walked out . The men were handsome, and the ladies were elegant . They all looked very young, and they walked over as they talked and laughed with each other .

Noticing Zhou Xuanji, they came over to greet him .

“So, you are the new core disciple?” A bald young man said with a smile as he sized Zhou Xuanji up with his eyes .

The others had different expressions — Curious, disdain, and judgemental .

Zhou Xuanji could not see through their cultivation and was shocked in his heart .

These five people must be at least Fifth Revolution Golden Immortal and above .

“I just ascended, and I’m not sure what the Divine Cliff’s arrangement is,” Zhou Xuanji shook his head and said .

Having heard him, everyone was shocked .

“Since you can meet the Cliff Lord right after ascension, you must have the talent of a Great Emperor, and you must be at least Third Class,” the lady wearing a blue skirt uttered .

The other four became more curious about him .

It was much more difficult to become a Great Emperor in the Great Thousand World than in the mortal realm . It was not because of the difficulty of the Heavenly Law but because there were too many powerful cultivators who might assassinate you during your tribulation .

Moreover, those who became a Great Emperor in the mortal realm were invincible cultivators who had survived many trials and tribulations .

This was something that the sect and clan disciples in the Great Thousand World could not compare with .

With an elegant demeanor, Zhou Xuanji did not look like he had the aura of a Third Class Great Emperor .

“Let’s chat again when we meet . ”

After these words, Zhou Xuanji left . It was apparent that the other five each had their own ideas, and these ideas might not be friendly .

He quickly walked into the main gate with Bai Suwan .

The five disciples looked at each other in astonishment .

“It seems like an awesome person arrived at the Divine Cliff,” the bald young man said intently .

After that, he left with a loud burst of laughter .

The other four disappeared as well .

After entering the palace, the gates shut with a loud bang .

Zhou Xuanji looked over and saw three golden statues standing before the main wall . The entire palace was radiant and luxurious .

A man was standing before the three statues, his back facing Zhou Xuanji .

He had an average height and wore a black robe . At the back of the robe was an embroidery of a hideous and eccentric monster . His long and white hair hung loosely at his back .

Seeing from the back view, Zhou Xuanji could sense an enormous aura .

This must be the most powerful person he had ever encountered in his life .

“People call me Han Xuzi . I’m the 16th Cliff Lord of the Divine Cliff,” the Divine Cliff Lord turned and said . He had a handsome face with a look of a little more than 40 years old . His pupils were golden in color, which were very peculiar .

“I’m grateful for your sect’s hospitality toward me instead of hostility,” Zhou Xuanji nodded and replied .

Along the way, he had thought about many problems .

He decided to stay in the Divine Cliff .

Since the Divine Cliff was willing to protect him, there was no need to take risks outside .

For him, the top priority was to become more powerful .

He must become powerful enough to not fear True Gods before the True Gods found the Northern Wilderness Region .

“Your sect?” Han Xuzi said with a smile, “From today onwards, you will be a Core Disciple of the Divine Cliff and will receive the same treatment as my personal disciples . You don’t have to draw the line so clearly . ”

Zhou Xuanji was a little stunned and immediately cupped his fist to show respect .

Han Xuzi waved his hand and said, “You don’t have to show these empty formalities . You have the talent of a First Class Great Emperor and the potential to surpass me in the future . I hope you can acknowledge the Divine CLiff and become part of it . Of course, if you have other ambitions in the future, don’t forsake the Divine Cliff but continue to protect it . ”

Although the Divine Cliff was powerful, they had only one First Class Great Emperor in all its history . That person was its previous Cliff Lord .

Zhou Xuanji said, “I will repay the grace shown to me . This is my principle . ”

Han Xuzi looked at him intently before waving his hand to ask Zhou Xuanji to come over .

After that, Han Xuzi began telling Zhou Xuanji the Divine Cliff’s long history .

The Divine Cliff had existed for 500,000 years, which was much longer than the Northern Wilderness humans . They had given birth to countless geniuses, and a few dozen of them were listed on the Great Emperor Stele .

Zhou Xuanji also got to know from Han Xuzi that he was ranked 12th on the Great Emperor Stele .

In the recent 10,000 years, there were no new Great Emperors to be ranked in the top 20 places, which was enough to see how devilish Zhou Xuanji was .

However, Zhou Xuanji was not satisfied with this .

Which meant to say that there were 11 people more talented than him?

Han Xuzi also told him about the situation of the Great Thousand World .

The Great Thousand World, which was also the Upper Realm, was boundlessly vast . Even adding all the mortal realms, they were not as vast as it . Similarly, there were countless beings and races in this world .

The Central God Province, in which the Divine Cliff was located, was at the center of the Great Thousand World . There were more than ten factions that were on par with the Divine Cliff in the Central God Province, while the Heavenly Hall was merely a second-grade faction in this region .

Having heard this, Zhou Xuanji was shocked .

The Upper Realm was more vast and spectacular than he had imagined . There was always something bigger, indeed .

According to Han Xuzi, the other God Provinces outside the Center God Province were also very powerful . However, the relationship between these Provinces was tense and hostile . He advised Zhou Xuanji not to leave the Centre God Province in the future to prevent him from endangering himself .

The Central God Province belonged to the land, while there were other factions in the sky .

There were 33 levels of heaven, and each heaven was equal to a Great Thousand World . The Great Emperor Stele was above the 33 levels of heaven .

Above the 33 levels of heaven were the residences of those powerhouses who were on par with the Heavenly Law .

Han Xuzi only let Zhou Xuanji go after an hour .

Before leaving, he gave Zhou Xuanji a golden token, which had the three statues’ image . At the back of the token, there was an extremely delicate carving of the mountain cliffs .

Han Xuzi gave his last advice, “Stay here for three months . I will send someone to serve you . If you have any doubts, you can ask him for help . Half a year later, there is an Ascender Examination in the Center God Province . At that time, give glory to the Divine Cliff, and if you become the victor, there will be abundant rewards . These rewards will help you to reach 10th Revolution Golden Immortal within ten years . You must not miss that . ”

“From today onwards, you will be called Ji Xuan . ”
