My classmates chose martial arts and fantasy, but I chose the prehistoric world.

When Meng Chuan walked to the center of the field, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

After all, the performances of the first six people were quite remarkable, especially Li Qinglian, Xiong Batian, the woman in black, and Gu Chen, who demonstrated talent and strength far exceeding that of ordinary people.

Everyone is curious to see what level this quiet young man can demonstrate.

Meng Chuan stood in the center of the field, his expression calm.

He did not draw his sword.

He had no weapons.

He simply raised his right hand slowly and extended his index finger.

Then, gently point it out with a finger.

There was no sword light, no sword energy, no dragon roars or tiger howls, and no earth-shaking tremors.

Not even a slight breeze was stirred.

It looked like an ordinary person casually poking something in the air.

Li Qinglian frowned.

Xiong Batian curled his lip.

The woman in black remained expressionless.

Gu Chen's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Elder Qin Yue's pupils also contracted slightly.

because--

The instant Meng Chuan pointed his finger, they sensed an extremely subtle and profound fluctuation of law!

That fluctuation was so fleeting, so fast, that it was almost an illusion!

But Elder Qin Yue and Gu Chen both caught it!

Moreover, they also noticed something—

In the direction Meng Chuan pointed, tens of thousands of feet above the ground, a white cloud vanished silently.

It wasn't blown away by the wind or swept away by air currents; rather, it vanished from the world as if it had never existed at all.

It was as if an invisible hand had erased that cause and effect from the world.

Elder Qin Yue remained silent for a moment.

Then, he slowly opened his mouth and uttered two words:

"Passed."

His tone remained as calm as ever.

But for some reason, everyone present felt that there seemed to be a different flavor in his tone.

That's... taking it seriously!

Meng Chuan withdrew his finger, nodded slightly to Elder Qin Yue, and then stepped aside.

At this point, all seven people had passed the test.

Elder Qin Yue's gaze swept over the seven people, and he slowly spoke:

"Congratulations on passing all three rounds of assessments."

"From this moment forward, the seven of you will be the outer disciples of my Lonely Wilderness Holy Land."

"Come with me."

He turned around, waved his whisk, and the mountain gate slowly opened.

The seven people exchanged glances, and each saw a hint of excitement and anticipation in the other's eyes.

Then, following Elder Qin Yue, they stepped into the mountain gate that symbolized the highest threshold in the southern part of the Divine Realm Continent.

Behind them, the towering mountain gate, thousands of feet high, slowly closed.

Those who were eliminated could only stand outside the mountain gate, watching with envious and resentful eyes as their figures disappeared into the clouds.

……

The seven followed Elder Qin Yue through the majestic mountain gate and entered the true territory of the Lonely Goose Holy Land.

Just a step apart, yet the inside and outside are two completely different worlds.

Outside the mountain gate lies an ordinary divine realm, rich in spiritual energy, yet unremarkable.

Inside the mountain gate, the concentration of spiritual energy suddenly increased more than tenfold!

The air was filled with a milky white spiritual mist that was almost tangible. With each breath, one could feel the pure spiritual energy seeping into the body through the limbs and bones, so comfortable that one almost groaned out loud.

Moreover, the power of the laws here is astonishingly clear.

Meng Chuan even felt that the clarity of the laws here was no less than that of the Myriad Laws Secret Realm of the Myriad Laws Hall.

"Goodness..."

Xiong Batian took a deep breath, his eyes wide. "The spiritual energy here is more than ten times denser than in my hometown! And there are laws... If I could cultivate here, I'm afraid I could break through to the Upper Saint realm in less than a few thousand years!"

Although Li Qinglian did not speak, a look of shock flashed in her eyes.

He came from a distinguished background and had seen the strongholds of many powerful forces, but this was the first time he had ever seen a place as rich in spiritual energy and clear in its laws as the Lonely Wild Goose Holy Land.

Gu Chen stroked his beard, smiling as he surveyed his surroundings, his eyes gleaming, seemingly lost in thought.

The woman in black remained expressionless, but judging from her slightly relaxed shoulders, she was quite satisfied with the environment.

Elder Qin Yue led the seven people forward along a road paved with bluestone.

Along both sides of the avenue, various rare spiritual plants and herbs are planted, many of which are names that Meng Chuan could only find in ancient books, but here they can be seen everywhere like weeds.

Along the way, they also encountered a few disciples from the Lonely Wild Goose Holy Land.

When the disciples saw Elder Qin Yue leading seven newcomers in, they all cast curious glances at them, but only for a moment before going about their own business without making any move to speak to them.

There are very few people in the Lonely Goose Holy Land, a fact that becomes even more apparent after entering.

The entire holy land covers a vast area, spanning hundreds of thousands of miles...

Palaces, pavilions, caves, medicinal gardens, martial arts training grounds, scripture pavilions... all kinds of facilities are available, but walking through it gives people a feeling of emptiness and desolation.

After walking for half an hour, Meng Chuan only saw fewer than twenty disciples.

"So few people?"

Xiong Batian couldn't help but mutter something under his breath.

Elder Qin Yue didn't even turn his head, and said calmly, "Since its founding, the Lonely Goose Holy Land has never recruited disciples on a large scale. We would rather have fewer disciples than accept inferior ones, and fewer disciples than accept a mixed group. Those who can enter our Lonely Goose are truly one in ten thousand."

"It is already remarkable that the seven of you were able to stand out from more than 1,200 people."

"You should know that anyone who dares to participate in the entrance examination of our Lonely Goose Holy Land is, without exception, the elite of the elite elsewhere!"

"but--"

He then changed the subject, saying, "This doesn't mean you can rest easy."

"Outer disciples are merely prospective members of the Lonely Swan Holy Land. Three years later, there will be an inner disciple assessment. Only those who pass can be promoted to inner disciples and receive the core inheritance of the Lonely Swan Holy Land. Those who fail—"

He paused for a moment, then said, "Either you stay in the outer sect and wait for the next assessment, or you leave the Lonely Goose Holy Land and find your own way."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the seven people changed slightly.

So, after going through all the hardships to get in, I'm just a "prospective member"?

Do I have to take the exam again to become a permanent employee?

Elder Qin Yue seemed to see through their thoughts and chuckled, "What? You think it's harsh? Do you know that the Lonely Goose Holy Land currently only has 368 registered inner disciples and just over 100 outer disciples?"

"The entire Holy Land, including elders and deacons, has fewer than five hundred people."

"And in the Southern Region of the Divine Realm Continent, which of the other four major powers doesn't have tens of thousands of disciples and hundreds of thousands of followers? How can my Lonely Phoenix Holy Land, with only a few hundred people, stand on equal footing with those four major powers?"
