Once everyone was seated, an elderly man appeared before them. He waved his hands, and the radiant light in front of everyone disappeared, allowing the cultivators below the platform to see the figures on the platform clearly.
The crowd marveled at the scene before them, their curious gazes shifting towards the people sitting on the platform.
A powerful surge of elemental energy emanated from the figures on the platform, leaving the onlookers in awe.
"These are the elders of the sect! The fluctuations of their elemental energy are truly astounding!"
"The sect is truly extraordinary. Just their aura alone is enough to leave one in awe!"
"My goodness, if I become a cultivator in the sect, will I one day be as formidable as them?"
For a moment, a strong yearning rose in the hearts of the crowd. These powerful individuals were their goals to strive for in the future!
There were only a dozen people sitting on the platform, representing the various sects. Among them, only ten represented the top ten super sects!
Only those ranked in the top hundred on the ranking list had the qualification to enter these top ten sects. Those outside the top hundred still had a chance to enter smaller sects.
Although small sects and large sects were both sects, they couldn't compare in terms of sect strength, influence, and cultivation resources to the top ten sects!
The top ten in each assessment competition had the freedom to choose which sect they wanted to join, while the remaining ninety were decided by a lottery. Regardless, at least they were certain that they could enter one of the top ten sects.
As for those beyond the top hundred, it would depend on their luck. Although these top sects required a considerable number of human resources, they focused more on quality rather than quantity, and their selection methods were not limited to the assessment competition alone.
Emperor Bei Chen sat in his seat. In previous assessment competitions, it was always the Grand Elder who came to recruit talents, but this time it was him.
Originally, the Grand Elder intended to accompany him, but he refused.
He knew very well that the Grand Elder was dissatisfied with Hong Zhuang. If the Grand Elder had come today, it would surely provoke conflict once again.
He didn't want the Grand Elder to ruin his reunion with Hong Zhuang.
At this moment, an elder in his sixties stood in the center of the platform. He wore a gray robe, and his hair was white, exuding a sense of vicissitude and dignity.
This person was Elder Gu Taihong of the Wujin Palace, one of the top ten sects!
With his high seniority and strong cultivation, everyone naturally assumed that he would be the one to deliver the opening speech.
"Today is the day of the assessment competition. Two years ago, all of you arrived here and have made great progress through two years of hard work, battles, and experiences. I believe you have all improved tremendously."
"No matter whether you have obtained high or low points, I want to tell you that everyone who has reached this stage is a success!"
Gu Taihong's voice carried a hint of excitement, clearly reaching the ears of every cultivator present.
Upon hearing these words, the young cultivators in the audience were filled with excitement.
Just as Gu Taihong said, the past two years have probably been more challenging than their previous twenty-something years of life. Only they themselves knew how difficult it was to reach this stage.
