Chapter 1306 - 1306: How Did You Get In?

"This..."

"What happened?"

"Did the three of them successfully enter?"

The immortals outside watching were utterly perplexed.

They hadn't even processed it yet.

"Did I see that wrong?"

"Holy crap, if they could get in, just how strong is he?"

"Bringing those two from the Demon Race requires 4500 combat power, and 4400 is precisely the limit of an Eighth-Grade Grandmaster."

When everyone realized this again, the place erupted.

"No way, he's actually an Eighth-Grade Grandmaster?"

"This person looks so unfamiliar, and he doesn't have the demeanor of a grandmaster. How is this possible?"

Few dared to believe this possibility.

Someone raised doubts.

"Could the Testing Immortal Array be broken?"

But immediately someone refuted.

"No, it was just tested. The Testing Immortal Array is perfectly fine."

"Oh my god..."

"If he truly is an Eighth-Grade Grandmaster, what position must he hold?"

"Before an Eighth-Grade Grandmaster, a Seventh Grade is nothing..."

"Could what he said earlier about being the Chief of the Celestial Pill Department be true?"

Everyone was about to go crazy.

The few Gatekeeper Disciples at the Purple Nether Palace were completely dazed, thoroughly lost in contemplation.

Was that person truly the Chief of the Celestial Pill Department?

And I had just mocked him not long ago?

"No, it's impossible!"

"4500 combat power isn't necessarily an Eighth-Grade Grandmaster. It might be from dabbling in multiple arts..."

"If the four arts of the Pill, Artifact, and Talisman Array all reached Tier Six, it might also add up to 4500 combat power."

"Yes, that's very likely the truth!"

People seemed to find a reason that didn't shock them as much.

But thinking about it carefully, the four arts of the Pill, Artifact, and Talisman Array belong to four different domains.

How difficult is it to study four domains at once?

If someone truly mastered all four to Sixth-grade or above, that difficulty and level of amazement would be no less than that of an Eighth-Grade Grandmaster in one field, right?

Suddenly, many people were filled with intense regret.

Such masters are difficult to meet under normal circumstances, even harder to converse with, let alone befriend.

Just like Venerable Lian Xiao earlier, who wouldn't even spare them a glance.

While Jiang Cheng was so amiable earlier, they all disregarded it and missed out...

Jiang Cheng originally thought that inside the Testing Immortal Array, there would be some challenge.

Like alchemy or artifact refining.

But after entering, nothing happened at all.

He just walked forward with Three-Eyed Tiger and Yan Yi for a stretch and then smoothly reached the other side.

What appeared before him was a nearly boundless hall.

Inside were rows of seats, with many already occupied.

"Ha, Sect Leader Jiang, you came too?"

Ming Jia Daoist Venerable quickly approached upon seeing them.

"I knew a small place like this couldn't stop you..."

Before he finished speaking, Fan Lei Daoist Venerable's exclamation interrupted.

"You, how did you all get in?"

He pointed incredulously at Three-Eyed Tiger and Yan Yi beside him, as if he had seen a ghost.

That Jiang Cheng managed to enter was plausible enough.

This kid was absurdly mysterious, perhaps he really did have some alchemical skill.

But he truly couldn't understand how Three-Eyed Tiger got in.

Wasn't this Tiger Demon supposed to have zero combat power?

Anyone could come in, but not him!

Let alone Yan Yi, who is also from the Demon Race.

"What, was it that hard to get in?"

Three-Eyed Tiger deliberately gave him a disdainful glance.

"It's just a little entry screening. I have no idea what you were so proud of before?"

Fan Lei Daoist Venerable had sneered at him a few moments ago, saying he wouldn't wait for those who held him back.

Now, Three-Eyed Tiger had to return it with flair.

"You got all superior over something as simple as entry, what do I even say to you?"

He sympathetically clicked his tongue and shook his head, as if he was disappointed in Fan Lei Daoist Venerable.

"Tut tut tut, is that all you aspire to?"

"You're lacking vision..."

Fan Lei would never have dreamed that in such a short time he'd be mocked by this Tiger Demon so thoroughly.

And it left him almost speechless.

"But you were clearly zero combat power before, it's impossible you made it in, you think you can fool me..."

"Ha! Hahaha!"

Three-Eyed Tiger deliberately interrupted him with a loud, exaggerated laugh.

"I was hiding my strength and disguising myself, seeing the atmosphere was too tense, I pretended to act silly to lighten the mood, okay?"

"You think everyone's like you, half a bucket full but swinging around?"

He patted his chest: "People with real strength like us are very low-key, you know?"

This Tiger Demon spoke as if he got in on his own merit.

Being a good partner in showing off, Brother Cheng didn't expose him either.

However, Fan Lei and Ming Jia weren't so easily fooled.

Their gazes finally settled on Sect Leader Jiang, realizing this miracle was his doing again.

They each quickly found seats and sat down.

Brother Cheng observed the scene and realized it was a bit different from what he expected.

There were no grandmasters in sight here.

Nor were there familiar faces from the Celestial Pill Department.

The seated individuals were all meditating, immersed in some special state.

"What's this?"

He frowned as he sat down, then closed his eyes to imitate them.

In the next instant, he found himself in another space.

There, he saw his old acquaintances from the Celestial Pill Department, including Tian Lin, Taiheng, and Beihe.

Apart from them, there were several new faces of Alchemy Dao masters.

These people grouped together in threes and fives, some exchanged insights, chatting and laughing.

Some were collaboratively refining pills, assisting each other.

And many more were engaging in fierce debates, spitting as they argued.

Their disputes naturally centered around alchemical matters.

Such as which of the Purification Pill Stream, Yidan Stream, or Ancient Pill Stream was the orthodox eternal subject.

Amongst the red-faced, fervently arguing crowd were also familiar faces from the Celestial Pill Department.

Liuyuan, Jin Pi, and others were present.

"This division of schools is completely unnecessary!"

"No matter Purification, Yidan, or Ancient Pill Stream, they are all too narrow."

"True alchemy orthodoxy lies in uniting all streams as one!"

They had listened to Brother Cheng's teachings and were influenced by him, now harboring no sectarian bias.

But the pill masters from the Land of Dao Extinction couldn't accept such a concept.

To them, it was absolutely heretical.

"Is your Celestial Pill Department under a spell?"

"Uniting all streams? These streams don't even interconnect, and in fact, contradict and conflict with each other, how could they possibly merge?"

"This notion of collecting strengths from all houses is nothing but an unattainable fantasy, nobody could possibly achieve it."

"Exactly, it's better to master one field and reach its pinnacle!"

With the crowd from the Land of Dao Extinction focusing their fire, Venerable Jinpi of the Celestial Pill Department shouted: "Who says no one can achieve it?"

"Our Sect Leader Jiang of the Celestial Pill Department is precisely such a peerless alchemical prodigy!"
