Only after becoming emperor did he realize he was in a fantasy world of immortal cultivation.

Regardless of everyone's state of mind, Master Yu's gaze had already shifted to the first person to start.

It was Gong Li, a disciple from a collateral branch. Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Immediately afterwards, Gong Li slowly raised his right hand, and in an instant, a bright red spiritual flame ignited in his palm.

All eyes were now focused on the ball of spiritual fire.

The next moment, Lin Yuan clearly saw that the spiritual fire in Gong Li's hand split into two streams.

After that, even though Gong Li was covered in sweat that had slid down to his chin, the spiritual fire did not continue to separate.

"end."

With Yu Xianzhang's shout, Gong Li could only grit his teeth and extinguish the spiritual fire in his hand. The beads of sweat that had gathered on his chin fell onto the table, as if to mark the final end of his defeat.

Everyone's attention then shifted to Gong Wuchen, who was sitting next to Gong Li.

Gong Wuchen was clearly much more adept at the process of igniting and dividing the spiritual fire than Gong Li.

Two strands.

Three strands.

Four.

Five.

Six strands.

In the end, Gong Wuchen split the spiritual fire into six strands, thus passing the test perfectly.

With Yu Xianzhang's "Pass," everyone's attention turned to Gong Wujue.

With such outstanding examples before them, Gong Wujue's four techniques seemed rather ordinary.

Time slipped away quietly as each spark of inspiration ignited and died out.

Four people underwent the assessment during this period: Gong Ren, Gong De, Gongsun Yan, and Zhou Yan.

They all passed the test by separating four streams of spiritual fire.

Lin Yuan turned his gaze to the next person—Zhou Wanwan.

The moment Zhou Wanwan ignited her spiritual fire, she split it in two.

In the blink of an eye, the spiritual fire split into three.

Just when everyone thought her achievements would end there, the three spiritual flames split into two again, resulting in six spiritual flames.

It was exactly the same as Gong Wuchen's.

The disciples of the Gong family were all slightly surprised.

In their view, Gong Wuchen had the highest cultivation level among all the people, so it was only natural that he would have the most and best number of spirit flames.

Now, however, someone has achieved the same result as the one they consider to be number one, and is even a disciple of the Zhou Immortal Clan. Naturally, their feelings are complicated.

But so what if they're the same?

Gong Wuchen's record remains unbroken; he is still number one.

All the disciples of the Gong family firmly believed this.

After Zhou Wanwan, she went to Gong Yi.

Lin Yuan was right next to him, so he could clearly see his nervousness.

Before the guy even started circulating his spiritual fire, a bead of sweat had already formed on his forehead, and he had taken at least four deep breaths.

After his fifth deep breath, he slowly began to raise his hand.

At first, there was a faint flame in the palm of my hand. Watching it rise and fall, one couldn't help but think that it would be extinguished in the next instant.

However, the spiritual fire in Gong Yi's hand quickly shattered the onlookers' expectations, and then they saw the spiritual fire in Gong Yi's hand burn bigger and bigger.

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, it split into two sticky, gooey strands.

The next few breaths stretched out exceptionally long.

Everyone saw that the third stream of spiritual fire that Gong Yi was about to separate would sometimes emerge from the left spiritual fire and sometimes retreat back to "shrink" out from the right spiritual fire.

Lin Yuan: "..."

Isn't this going a bit too far?

Gong Yi felt his breath was erratic and uncertain. If he were to hear Yu Xianzhang say "Stop" at this moment, he feared that his breath would reach straight to the top of his head.

But thankfully, there was still silence around him, and he...

Finally, as his heart clenched, a third spiritual fire emerged.

A moment later, after hearing Yu Xianzhang say "Pass," he slowly exhaled.

At this point, only one person remained out of the ten – Lin Yuan.
