CHAPTER 1011: CHAPTER 774: REUNION (PART 3)

The Deity of the Moon stood up, saying, "Let me introduce you..."

She quickly introduced everyone one by one.

Among the Star Lords present, besides her and Tian Xiang, there was also the Tianshu Star Lord.

And the other three, one was Li Feiyu from the Li Family, another was Fang Yuchen, Daoist of Ziliu Mountain, and the other was Wang Yizhen, an exceptionally hopeful Daoist Master from the Honorable Daoist Mansion aiming to enter the Inner Mansion.

As for those they brought along like Liu Wanhu, there was basically no need for introduction.

Gu Jinlai saluted everyone one by one.

And upon learning Gu Jinlai’s status as an Inner Mansion candidate, everyone showed sufficient respect.

"We from the Immortal Xuanhuang Realm have arrived at the Fire Cloud Palace. Although we’ve all been nurtured by the Palace Master, except for His Majesty, we only obtained the official disciple status. With the multitude of Fire Cloud Palace official disciples, making a name for ourselves is not an easy task. I’ve heard the Honorable Daoist Mansion has inherent advantages in cultivating Dao Masters, so we’ve decided to come over and try our luck."

The Deity of the Moon said, looking at everyone, "Everyone essentially has similar intentions, like Lord Wang, Lord Fang, and Lord Li, who are veterans of the Honorable Daoist Mansion. Among them, Lord Wang has been here for a millennium; with the assistance of you all, it should be easy to establish a firm foothold in the Honorable Daoist Mansion."

"If the Deity of the Moon has any doubts, feel free to ask me. I will speak freely and hide nothing."

Wang Yizhen bowed and said.

"All of you are here for the 3,000 Inner Mansion spots, but these spots are always occupied. Obtaining one is exceedingly difficult. Fortunately, the Honorable Daoist Mansion’s existence is to cultivate Honorable Daoists, so they won’t completely block the path. As long as you can catch the eye of several Pavilion Masters in the Honorable Daoist Mansion, you might be promoted exceptionally and enter the Inner Mansion."

Fang Yuchen spoke, taking out a Jade Scroll: "Knowing that the Star Lords were coming, I inquired in advance about some possible methods, everyone might as well take a look."

"When I came, I heard that the Honorable Daoist Mansion’s Inner Mansion Dao Masters undergo a century-old assessment? And those qualified Outer Mansion Dao Masters can apply for the same assessment. If the results are better than the Inner Mansion Dao Masters, can they take their place? Is there possibly..."

Tianshu Star Lord took the Jade Scroll.

"There is such a saying, but it’s not just better, it has to be significantly better."

Fang Yuchen said: "Everyone has strengths, even if there’s a momentary mistake, the Inner Mansion Dao Masters won’t easily be replaced by the Outer Mansion Dao Masters, only when the gap between the two is astonishingly large, will the Pavilion Master step in, asking the original Inner Mansion Dao Masters to concede for the Outer Mansion Dao Masters to ascend."

Their expressions slightly darkened upon hearing this.

Which of those who became Inner Mansion Dao Masters isn’t a supreme prodigy standing at the threshold of Immortal Golden Immortal?

Not only to be better but to be better by a significant margin...

The difficulty for Outer Mansion Dao Masters to enter the Inner Mansion is thus imaginable.

"Throughout countless years, the events of Outer Mansion Dao Masters replacing Inner Mansion Dao Masters are rare, often spanning ten or more terms, a millennium before one or two occurrences would happen. Most actually wait for the Inner Mansion Dao Masters to automatically graduate when they break through to immortality or encounter mishaps during their external trials... And to enter the substitute ranking, that is, the candidate list, there are just three most efficient methods."

Fang Yuchen spoke, glancing at Gu Jinlai: "One is to achieve great merit like Lord Gu, who was recommended by local representatives. The other is to showcase talent that astonishes the Pavilion Master, and the third... is strength."

"Strength?"

Star Lord Tian Xiang, comparatively weaker as a Golden Immortal, frowned.

"The Honorable Daoist Mansion aims to cultivate Immortal Golden Immortals; even the most talented Dao Master needs time to grow, but if those of great strength stand at the gate of Immortal Golden Immortal, the Honorable Daoist Mansion might only need to give a slight push, allowing them to break through in one leap."

Fang Yuchen sighed: "A genius spends ten thousand years in the Honorable Daoist Mansion to achieve immortality, as opposed to a Golden Immortal achieving immortality in a century, the impact difference is vast as the sky is to Yun Ni."

Gu Jinlai had heard bits and pieces about these things.

Many who are unfamiliar with the Honorable Daoist Mansion think that once you enter the Inner Mansion of the Honorable Daoist Mansion, half can achieve Immortal Golden Immortal.

But in reality, numbers aren’t calculated like that.

Only the most exceptional Golden Immortals can enter the Inner Mansion, but even then, the chance of becoming a Golden Immortal isn’t necessarily half.

Many, due to thousands or even tens of thousands of years without breakthrough, are directly replaced by Outer Mansion Dao Masters.

This kind of replaced Dao Master isn’t counted in the "failure" category.

Because they are still part of the Honorable Daoist Mansion, which means they haven’t graduated yet.

In the future, if they break through again, the credit would still count for the Honorable Daoist Mansion.

"Everyone’s cultivated Great Dao varies, like Lord Tian Shu who cultivates the Order Dao, the corresponding Inner Mansion Dao Master is a figure who stood at the Golden Immortal Peak using only 8,000 years. The Great Dao compatibility is reportedly at 96%, and the Spiritual Realm is as high as Ninth Rank, potentially ready to make that leap at any moment, thus, if you want to replace the Order Dao Master, you must not only exceed 96% in Great Dao compatibility but also have a Spiritual Realm higher than him, reaching the Tenth Rank."

Fang Yuchen paused slightly: "Even so, successfully replacing him isn’t easy, because he has only cultivated for 8,000 years, in other words, your own cultivation time must ideally also be within 8,000 years."

"Eight thousand years, Great Dao compatibility above 96%, Tenth Rank Spiritual Realm!?"
