In the following days, Wang Ruoxie stayed within the Imperial Palace.
Since the entire Royal Family had been slaughtered by Liu Kui and others, the palace beca a land without an owner and naturally turned into the mountain gate of the Celestial Sword Sect.
During these days, Wang Ruoxie wasn’t idle. He distributed the treasure resources he’d previously acquired to everyone in the Celestial Sword Sect, and also helped his mother elevate her cultivation directly to the Pocket World Realm, giving her a certain level of self-protection.
Moreover, he set up a massive Saint Tier Array centered on the entire palace. Even a typical Celestial Emperor Realm individual would find it difficult to break through this array in a short ti.
As for those below the Celestial Emperor Realm, they would certainly et their demise.
Most importantly, he infused a trace of his Soul Power into the array so that if it faced a formidable attack, he would imdiately sense it and return in the shortest possible ti.
After bidding farewell to Chu Li, Xiao Jingyu, Lady Chi, and others, Wang Ruoxie returned to the Profound Lady Sect via the transmission channel.
Then, he went straight to the Examination Hall to prepare for his promotion to an Inner Sect Disciple, entering the Inner Sect of the Profound Lady Sect.
Generally speaking, an Outer Disciple could undergo assessnt in the Examination Hall after breaking into the Celestial Emperor Realm. If they passed, they could be promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple. Failure ant they naturally could not be promoted.
Moreover, if one fails the assessnt three consecutive tis, they can no longer continue, aning they would forever lose the opportunity to enter the Inner Sect of the Profound Lady Sect.
Because of this, many Outer Disciples, even after breaking into the Celestial Emperor Realm, refrain from attempting the assessnt until they are fully confident.
Wang Ruoxie was naturally full of confidence in his abilities, and believed passing the assessnt in one attempt would not pose any problem.
Before long, he arrived at a vast hall in the Outer Sect, which was, of course, the Examination Hall of the Profound Lady Sect’s Outer Sect.
At that mont, many people had gathered in the hall, at least several thousand, mostly with a First Layer cultivation in the Celestial Emperor Realm. So even had Second Layer or Third Layer cultivation.
Clearly, these were the Outer Disciples there to take the assessnt. Passing it would allow them to enter the Inner Sect and beco Inner Sect Disciples.
So might even advance to Core Disciple status directly, which was not out of the question.
The assessnt for Outer Sect disciples to advance to the Inner Sect was not complicated. The rule was very simple: defeat an Inner Sect Disciple of equivalent cultivation.
However, the simpler the rule, the harder it often was; this single rule blocked most Outer Disciples from the Inner Sect.
Because entering the Inner Sect of the Profound Lady Sect demanded that one be a top genius in every regard, whether bloodline, physique, or mastery of Profound Technique, all far transcending one’s peers.
Any Inner Sect Disciple could easily overwhelm those of the sa tier, and surpassing tiers was as simple as eating or drinking.
The challenge for these Outer Disciples wanting to defeat an Inner Sect Disciple of the sa tier was imnse.
This is why so present had Second Layer or even Third Layer cultivation in the Celestial Emperor Realm, because they had no confidence in passing the assessnt at First Layer.
Or perhaps they had already taken the assessnt once or twice but ultimately failed.
As ti passed, more and more people exited the assessnt chamber; those who passed were all beaming, while the failures showed faces full of disappointnt, and so even shed tears of despair and wept bitterly.
Evidently, those who despaired had already taken the assessnt three tis, aning they would never have the chance to enter the Inner Sect, forever bound to the Outer Sect with no chance to see the splendor of the Inner Sect.
"Friend, you seem unfamiliar. Have you not been in the sect long?"
Just then, a voice suddenly reached Wang Ruoxie’s ears. He turned to see a young man in ornate clothing looking at him with a smile.
"Yes, I joined the sect not long ago."
Wang Ruoxie nodded with a smile. Strictly speaking, it had been only five days since he joined the Profound Lady Sect.
"Looks like your luck is good, having just joined the sect and encountered such a fortune, breaking through to the Celestial Emperor Realm so quickly."
Upon hearing this, the ornate-clothed youth displayed an expression of understanding before continuing, "However, you should have just broken into the Celestial Emperor Realm not long ago. Why are you so eager to take the assessnt?"
"You should know that although those Inner Sect Disciples have equivalent cultivation to us, their strength is formidable. Without being fully prepared, winning is nearly impossible. You’ve just broken into the Celestial Emperor Realm, and your realm may not even be fully stabilized. Taking the assessnt now would put you at a significant disadvantage."
Wang Ruoxie rely smiled, responding, "No worries, I am confident I will pass the assessnt."
He knew the ornate-clothed youth ant well, but back when he was in the Ninth Layer of the Celestial Monarch Realm, he already had the strength to slay a First Layer Celestial Emperor Realm opponent.
Now that he had broken through to the First Layer of the Celestial Emperor Realm, his power had increased more than a hundredfold. Facing Inner Sect Disciples of the sa tier, or even Core Disciples and True Disciples, and those like the Saint Heir, who were on par with the sect’s higher-ups, he had no fear.
In his current tier, there was virtually no one to worry about.
Hearing Wang Ruoxie’s words, the ornate-clothed youth was sowhat taken aback. He didn’t expect the other to possess such confidence, which bordered on arrogance.
"Well then, once he fails his first assessnt, he will realize the true gap between Outer Disciples and Inner Disciples," the ornate-clothed youth thought, deciding against further advising him.
Soon, it was Wang Ruoxie’s turn as those ahead of him had completed their assessnts. Without hesitation, he lifted his foot and prepared to walk towards the Outer Elder responsible for conducting the assessnts.
Just then, a figure rushed from behind and stood in front of him, addressing the Outer Elder, "Uncle Ning, could you assess first?"
Witnessing this, Wang Ruoxie’s brow slightly furrowed. No matter where one went, there were always people like this, who, relying on their distinguished family background or a bit of strength, ignored others and pushed to the forefront.
This person cut in before Wang Ruoxie, not even sparing him a glance, clearly dismissing him entirely.
"Ah, it’s nephew Diao Mao. Very well, let’s assess you first."
The Elder surnad Ning nodded with a smile.
Obviously, Elder Ning recognized the young man nad Diao Mao, and Diao Mao’s identity was evidently special, otherwise, a dignified Outer Elder would not have been so accommodating.
"Wait a mont, it’s only right for to be assessed first, correct?"
At this unexpected interruption, both Elder Ning and Diao Mao’s faces slightly darkened.
The surrounding crowd also looked towards the speaker, each showing a look of surprise.
"Oh no, this fellow is looking for trouble."
Even the ornate-clothed youth’s expression changed, silently exclaiming.
The one who spoke was none other than Wang Ruoxie, who had been cut off by Diao Mao.
