Our eldest brother never hides good things from us.

Chang Wen didn't know what she was thinking, so he simply said, "Tell me."

Since I had nothing else to do, I figured I might as well learn about Daofeng culture; it might come in handy later.

"This Dao Ancestor Trial, though called a trial, doesn't really have much to do with trials. What's truly captivating about it is the recognition from our Dao Peak Ancestor."

The maidservant began her explanation immediately, "That Dao Ancestor Trial Stele is said to be the natal magic weapon of the founding patriarch of Dao Peak. It contains his lifelong insights into the Great Dao."

"Moreover, the patriarch had a penchant for collecting the laws of the Great Dao during his lifetime. Therefore, in this Dao Ancestor Trial Stele, there is not only his own Dao, but also many other Daos that he collected. It is said that there are more than ten thousand of them."

"What these disciples need to do is to resonate with the laws of the Great Dao. The more laws they resonate with, the richer the feedback the Dao Ancestor's Trial Stele will give them."

After the maid finished speaking, she quietly stepped aside. She handled the situation very well.

"So that's how it is."

Chang Wen suddenly realized why Chu Xinghe hadn't come out for so long. The laws of the Great Dao sounded very profound, so it was only natural that it took so long.

Shen Nianqing also suddenly realized, looking at the Dao Ancestor's Trial Stele, "Back in the thirty-third generation, I heard that there was a Daoist in the Haoran Star Region who took pleasure in obtaining the laws of the Great Dao. Could it be him? Then it seems that the place I am in now is the Haoran Star Region."

As a reincarnator, she knows things beyond the comprehension of many.

The cultivation world is vast, infinitely vast. So vast that even after ninety-nine reincarnations, she had not yet glimpsed its entirety.

However, she is now fairly certain of her location, likely near the Vast Starfield. Other details are currently unknown and require further investigation.

With that thought, she returned her attention to reality. Looking at the maid, she asked the crucial question, "How many Great Dao Laws must be resonated with to pass the trial?"

Chang Wen also thought of this and listened attentively.

"Based on the judging standards of previous years, triggering three Daos is considered passing the trial. However, the more of these things you trigger, the better. The more you trigger, the more support the Dao Peak will provide for you afterwards."

The maid explained patiently.

Chang Wen and Shen Nianqing exchanged a glance.

"How much do you think your third senior brother can attract?"

Chang Wen asked.

"I don't know."

Shen Nianqing shook her head. Logically speaking, each person can only possess one Great Dao Law. And only in this way can one achieve great progress in the future.

Otherwise, one will be entangled by multiple paths, unable to find the main path, thus wasting one's life.

Therefore, based on her experience, resonating with the Great Dao is not about following a particular Great Dao, but about finding one's own Dao and letting one's own Dao flourish.

Although the Great Dao is complex and diverse, it contains the ultimate principles of heaven and earth. Once one's own Dao is revealed, it will naturally resonate with other Great Daos of the same frequency.

Therefore, the only thing Chu Xinghe needs to do is follow his own path and not be misled by external things. Only then can he pass the trial.

"Let me see what you're really made of."

Shen Nianqing looked at Chu Xinghe, her mind no longer filled with distractions.

Chang Wen didn't pursue the topic further, and instead turned to Chu Xinghe, waiting quietly.

The attic next door.

The four members of the Taixu Sword Sect also began a discussion about the disciples attending the meeting.

"It's been half a month, and still no one has passed the trial. The immortal talents of the Haoran Immortal Sect are getting worse with each passing year."

Dugu Wentian stood with his arms crossed, his expression arrogant. He had been waiting impatiently for a long time.

"Even a lion goes all out when hunting a rabbit. Those people are the cream of the crop among the younger generation of the Haoran Immortal Sect. Don't underestimate them. Be careful not to suffer in silence."

Nangong Chi patiently gave him advice.

"Heh. If I were to face the Yin-Yang Saint Body next to me, I would give her some face. But in my eyes, these people are nothing but chickens and dogs, not worth mentioning."

Dugu Wentian spoke with disdain, not taking Chu Xinghe and his group of dozens of people seriously.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Chi stopped trying to persuade him.

"Don't be arrogant. That Confucian scholar in white robes is no ordinary person; you need to take him seriously. Otherwise, you might really run into trouble."

Feeling utterly bored, Taiyi looked at Dugu Wentian and smiled as he offered a reminder.

Dugu Wentian asked in surprise, "Which Confucian cultivator? Chu Xinghe, the one who entered the second round first?"

Tai nodded. "I even think you're no match for him."

Dugu Wentian was stunned, then looked at Chu Xinghe, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the Dao Ancestor's Trial Stele, "I'm no match for him? Surely not?"

He looked at Taiyi suspiciously. "He was the first to enter the second round, and he hasn't come out yet. He's clearly lost in it. How could he possibly be my opponent?"

Believe it or not.

Taiyi smiled and said no more.

Taoist viewing platform.

The bigwigs from various peaks of the Haoran Immortal Sect also looked at the Dao Ancestor's Trial Stele and waited quietly.

"I wonder if there will be any surprises at this year's conference."

Qiu Dao stood with his hands behind his back, the pressure written all over his face. He desperately wanted Dao Peak to produce a good seedling, but alas, fate had other plans, and this year's seedlings... were truly an eyesore.

The only Chu Xinghe I could find acceptable was from Haoran Peak...

Most importantly, he had privately approached Chu Xinghe, wanting to recruit him into Dao Peak. Unexpectedly, the boy was impervious to persuasion and refused to join no matter what, which gave him a great headache.

"Let's wait and see. If the patriarch exerts his power, there might be a pleasant surprise..."

The deputy peak master of Daofeng said hesitantly from the side.

Seeking the Way...

The patriarch has been dead for tens of thousands of years, where can he exert his power now?

Several more days passed, and the conference had lasted for a full twenty days. It was one of the longer conferences to date.

Only five figures remained before the Dao Ancestor's Trial Stele, becoming the absolute focus of this Dao Discussion Conference.

The remaining tens of thousands were all eliminated, failing the essay competition. They didn't even qualify for the martial arts competition.

Success is accidental; failure is the norm.

The disciples were not discouraged.

Some have fulfilled their wish and intend to focus all their attention back on cultivation, ignoring everything else. Others refuse to accept their fate and plan to try again in fifty years.

It can only be said that everyone has their own path. That's what makes the world so wonderful.

But none of them left. They all stared at the five figures in front of the Dao Ancestor's Trial Stele, their expressions varied, their thoughts unknown.

On the Heavenly Street.

The disciples were talking incessantly, as if they wanted to talk a hole in the sky.

"Holy crap, we bet everything on Li Qiusheng, and he didn't even make it into the martial arts competition! What a rip-off!"

"Match-fixing! It's absolutely match-fixing! I'm reporting it!"

The most vehement reaction undoubtedly comes from the gamblers who bet their entire fortunes. Now that they've lost their bets, they're furious and full of regret.

But no one comforted them. They were all adults, and they had to bear the consequences of their actions. This was a consensus among all adults.

Of course, these were just minor incidents.

What truly captures people's attention is the ultimate fate of those five individuals, and what kind of trouble the Taixu Sword Sect will cause.

As time goes by, these answers will soon be revealed. People are also becoming increasingly restless.

buzzing-

Just then, the Dao Ancestor Trial Stele, which had been silent for nearly twenty days, suddenly began to tremble. The patterns on the stele lit up inch by inch, invigorating everyone's spirits.

Someone has successfully passed the trial.
