Chương 901: Welcome Ceremony

Yi Tianyun and Gu Yurong immediately entered the Main Hall and saw several young people that immediately stood up and greeted the elders.

"Elder Yu, Elder Ming, the two of you don't have to worry. The newcomers that just joined the Core Palace would immediately undergo the welcoming ceremony." The young cultivator said solemnly. Their cultivation was quite decent as they were at Peak Star Monarch level or even at One Refinement Earth Monarch!

"Welcoming Ceremony?" Yi Tianyun asked confusedly. He noticed that almost all of the young cultivators in front of him were looking at him with a sneer on their faces. These people probably look down upon him just because he was a Human!

He looked all around, and as he expected, there was no Human in here! Even though the number of cultivators here was large, there was no Human at all! No wonder the discrimination on Human Race as there was no Human Race cultivator to be found here whatsoever.

In contrast, all these cultivators here had a unique bloodline that was far superior to any Human Race's Bloodline. It was clear from their advanced cultivation as it was basically super strong already.

It was an expected result as Human Race couldn't give birth to a strong cultivator right away. The Human Race child had to cultivate their own cultivation at their own paces, unlike other races that could immediately give birth to a strong cultivator! This was basically a handicap for Human Race!

"I almost forgot about this welcome ceremony!" Yu Yanglong said as he stroked his messy hair. "If you want to join the Core Palace, you have to pass the welcoming ceremony first! If your score is good enough to pass, then nothing happened! You will join the Core Palace as you intended. If you do great in the ceremony, you will receive some reward later, but if you fail, you will be punished!" Yu Yanglong said to Yi Tianyun solemnly.

"You can still take a break outside and take the Welcoming Ceremony later. No one here can force you to do anything!" Yu Yanglong said casually.

"Where do I start?" Yi Tianyun said respectfully. He noticed everyone's the sly expression on almost everyone's faces, so it was obvious to him that the Welcoming Ceremony wasn't just another ceremony.

"The Welcoming Ceremony is a very simple matter. It is just a requirement for you to write your name at the Stone Tablet, and that's it! This is a rule that has been implemented in Core Palace since a long time ago. Unless you leave Heavenly Edict Divine Territory or die, your name will always be there!" Yu Yanglong explained solemnly. He then pointed at the huge Stone Tablet on the side, but it wasn't like any other Stone Tablet. It was more like a Wall instead!

Yi Tianyun looked at it and saw at least 10.000 names there. In other words, there were at least 10.000 disciples in the Core Palace right now. This ratio was really terrifying as it meant that 10.000 people at the very least withstood the Assessment Great Array for more than 6 days.

But still, it didn't matter for Yi Tianyun.

"Nian Ciyu, it was the most glorious name in the top area." Yu Yanglong said solemnly. Yi Tianyun looked at the top area and found Nian Ciyu in there.

"Nian Ciyu is the creator of the God's Domain Baptism, a female Heaven Monarch that every woman cultivator aspires to be!" Gu Yurong said fanatically.

"Is this woman a strong cultivator?" Yi Tianyun said as he was surprised himself. He didn't expect a woman would be a record holder of this place.

"Little Junior Brother, this is our welcome ceremony. The method is very simple, just engrave your name on the wall by using your Spiritual Force." A cultivator said with a smile on his face.

"I heard that you withstand the Great Array for 14 days, that is incredible! You should be able to surpass Nian Ciyu. It would be rather laughable if you can't after all!" another cultivator said with a smirk on his face.

Yi Tianyun now understood what these people were after. It was clear that they wanted to humiliate Yi Tianyun here if he couldn't surpass Nian Ciyu's name. However, Yi Tianyun already knew that these cultivators wouldn't simply respect him even though he was Yu Yanglong's disciple. The negative favourability was the reason for all this.

"Sure, I am not gonna hold back." Yi Tianyun said with a smile on his face. This guy wanted to prove that Yi Tianyun was just a joke of a cultivator, and he would never surpass Nian Ciyu! It would save their pride as they didn't want a Human Race surpassing them.

"This is long enough. Let's proceed with the Welcoming Ceremony! But remember, if you engrave your name too low, you would be receiving punishment, but the punishment itself isn't that hard. You simply have to take care of the Spirit Medicine in the mountainside for three years." Yu Yanglong said as he drew a line about a meter high, marking the lowest threshold to avoid the punishment.

Yu Yanglong himself knew what these cultivators were after, but he didn't stop them, for he thought a little competition would be a good thing. But as long as there was no form of cheating or interference, they would handle it themselves.

"So, that's how it's gonna be, huh? Interesting!" Yi Tianyun smiled. The welcoming ceremony wasn't as hard as he thought!
