In the past three days, Chen Lei has been concentrating on practicing in the cave. The true energy in his body has reached a pure, perfect and ethereal state, and he may break through to the Nascent Soul Realm at any time.
However, Chen Lei has been suppressing himself and has not made a breakthrough because he always feels that the time for a breakthrough has not yet come. Moreover, if he becomes the first in this assessment trial, the sect will reward him with a Xuantian Soul Nourishing Pill.
This Xuantian Soul-Nourishing Pill will only be effective when taken by those at the True Qi Realm, and the effect after taking it is that the soul will be twice as strong.
Now, Chen Lei's soul is more than twice as powerful as that of an ordinary strong man. If he takes the Xuantian Soul Nourishing Pill, the benefits to him will be self-evident.
However, this Xuantian Soul-Nourishing Pill has not been delivered to him yet. This can only be confirmed after the top leaders of the Xuantian Sect have finally confirmed the trial results.
Fortunately, the waiting time was not too long. Three days later, Chen Lei received a notice asking him to go to the Xuantian Palace.
This time, not only will the final confirmation of the trial results of Chen Lei and others be made, but they will also be assigned a mountain to practice on, designate a master, and determine which lineage they will practice under.
That morning, Chen Lei and everyone else took the sect's flying boat to the main hall of Xuantian Peak and waited quietly.
This time, the number of disciples who came to Xuantian Palace was not too large, only about forty people in total.
Among these people, some, like Chen Lei, passed the sect's assessment and trial and obtained the status of inner disciples, such as Chen Lei, Fang Cangyu, Di Jiuyang, Lu Chenghong, Huang Kunshan and others.
Another part of them are people who have shown extraordinary talents before and have long been selected by the masters and elders of each peak, such as Fan Shiyu, Xiang Huayun, Lie Kun, the Little Wolf King and others.
Originally, Dong Shuliang was also on this list, but unfortunately, during the public duel, Dong Shuliang violated the sect rules and used a poisonous hidden weapon, the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles, and was stripped of his status as an inner disciple by the Law Enforcement Hall and demoted to an outer disciple. Only after accumulating enough contributions to the sect can he have the possibility of becoming an inner disciple again.
However, although Dong Shuliang became an outer disciple, his treatment was much better than that of ordinary outer disciples.
Today, Dong Shuliang has already been transferred to Bixia Peak for training by his grandfather Dong Qinglin, who found an excuse for him. In Bixia Peak, Dong Qinglin has absolute power, so how could he let his only grandson suffer
However, although Dong Shuliang did not suffer, he also received special care from Dong Qinglin.
Even because the Bixia Peak, which is managed by Dong Qinglin, controls all the cultivation elixirs of the entire Xuanwu Peak lineage, Dong Shuliang has more cultivation elixirs than most inner disciples.
But apart from some preferential treatments he could get from Dong Qinglin, in other aspects, he was far behind these real inner disciples.
First, it is impossible for Dong Shuliang to receive instruction from a true master. Second, it is impossible for him to practice the truly powerful techniques within the sect. Third, there are restrictions on accepting missions. Fourth, some forbidden areas within the sect are simply inaccessible, etc.
These restrictions are absolutely fatal to Dong Shuliang.
As a result, he could not enjoy the vast cultivation resources of Xuantian Sect at all.
