Chapter 95: Chapter 82: Guarantee of the True Transmission, Yan Luohe
"Yes, Elder, the Lord of Baxuan City is actually a clone of the Dao Child of the Demon Sect, Di Xuansha. He cultivated the 'Split Mind Divine Technique of the Heavenly Demon,' and I believe this is his weakest clone," the white-haired elder said.
The assessment elder suddenly became stern and said, "How could the Lord of Baxuan City be a clone of the Dao Child of the Demon Sect? Even if he is just a clone, such a figure is nearly invincible within his rank. How could you few manage to deal with him? Do not lie to me."
Although he said this, given his level of cultivation, he still revealed a hint of astonishment while looking at the eight corpses on the ground.
The elder, a child, a youth, a strong man, an old woman... a beautiful woman, eight different stages of age, eight different personalities.
This indeed... seems to match the Split Mind Divine Technique of the Heavenly Demon which the Dao Child of the Demon Sect Di Xuansha is said to favor; he cherished these eight types of people.
Seeing that the assessment elder did not directly deny the claim but fell into thought instead, the white-haired elder continued, "Elder, it is indeed difficult for us to kill him with our abilities."
"However, this Daoist friend Yang Ji here is a genius. He has perfected all four forms of the Gui Cang Sword Technique and also mastered Zhou Tian Nuoyi to perfection."
"It was with him as the main force, along with the assistance of this junior sister, that we were able to kill him. For this, we have also paid the price of grave injuries."
The white-haired elder looked at Yang Ji and then gestured towards the spirited young woman.
Hearing that the two great divine abilities had been mastered to perfection, the assessment elder immediately took it seriously, his expression filled with amazement as he scrutinized Yang Ji and said, "When I checked your cultivation earlier, I found that you only have a medium-grade Spiritual Root and you have been cultivating for just over a hundred years.
Have you truly brought both of these great divine abilities to the realm of perfection?"
Mastering two great divine abilities to perfection within a hundred years, such an understanding placed him among the most outstanding in the Wuji Dao Sect, comparable to those geniuses with Sacred Bodies.
A talent like him had a high chance of becoming a true inheritor, which was not something an ordinary elder like him could compare with. He became very serious and said to Yang Ji, "Can you demonstrate your skills here?""
"I can," Yang Ji nodded and immediately invoked the energies of heaven to perform Zhou Tian Nuoyi, instantly creating a series of lingering afterimages in the hall.
The assessment elder kept his eyes fixed on Yang Ji, but it seemed as though his figure had never moved, standing straight before him even as the hall filled with his phantoms.
The assessment elder was deeply moved as he realized that this was because Yang Ji's speed was so fast, teleporting thousands of times in an instant and returning to the original spot, making it seem as if he had never moved.
"Your Zhou Tian Nuoyi has indeed reached perfection," the assessment elder took a deep breath, "Let me see your Gui Cang Sword Technique."
Yang Ji nodded, and as he spread his palm, the Xun Sword Soul, Li Sword Soul, Shocking Sword Soul, and Dui Sword Soul, four solidified sword souls, appeared side by side in his hand.
"These are perfected sword souls!" Before the elder could compose himself, Yang Ji flipped his hand, and the four sword souls fused with a thunderous merging to form a single sword soul.
As soon as this sword soul appeared, Sword Qi shot up to the sky, Sword Intent was commanding; the air around transformed into Flying Swords whistling, making people feel as if they were in a world of swords.
"This is the Sword Domain! You have actually reached this stage," the assessment elder exclaimed in surprise.
A Sword Domain is a step further, the embryonic form of a world, a realm only accessible by those undergoing Divinity Transformation.
Just having the embryonic form of a world created by these four styles of Sword Domain was enough to surpass sixty percent of the disciples in the sect, not to mention the future prospects of such a talent would not stop here.
He had not expected to encounter such a genius here.
He became eighty percent convinced about the slaying of the Demon Sect Dao Child's clone, yet there was still a twenty percent doubt.
"Did you really slay the clone of the Dao Child of the Demon Sect?" The assessment elder looked up at Yang Ji and asked again for confirmation.
"I can testify, actually, I was defeated by the Dao Child of the Demon Sect early on; it was this Daoist friend who single-handedly killed the Dao Child of the Demon Sect," the spirited young woman suddenly said.
"Is that true?" the assessment elder looked toward her. This was a Spiritual Body, and her words were enough to draw his attention.
Now that two geniuses had emerged, he became even more careful and did not dare to be negligent.
"I can confirm it! Moreover, I can also guarantee it in the name of the Luo He Celestial Domain's true inheritance, ensuring that this matter is true. If the elder does not believe it, you may consult the higher-ups of the Sect and use an Immortal Artifact to retell a fragment of time to inspect this matter," the athletically-dressed girl said with certainty.
"Luo He Celestial Domain true inheritance? What relation is Yan Luohe's true inheritance to you? What right do you have to guarantee something in her name?" the assessment elder asked sternly.
"She is my sister!" The athletically-dressed girl suddenly spoke.
"Yan Luohe's true inheritance is your sister?" Upon hearing this, the assessment elder's expression became slightly solemn.
"Indeed," the athletically-dressed girl nodded.
"The Luo He true inheritance actually is her sister?" The white-haired old men and others were inwardly surprised upon hearing this, and even Yang Ji gave her a slightly astonished look.
Using the name of a true inheritance to vouch for him was indeed a significant gesture of goodwill.
"But without proof, how can you confirm that the Luo He true inheritance is your sister?" the assessment elder asked again.
"There is a True Inheritance Token for proof. Whoever holds the token can act on behalf of the true inheritance," the athletically-dressed girl said as she flipped her hand and presented a mysterious token.
The assessment elder took it and saw the words "Luo He" on the token, and immediately scrutinized the athletically-dressed girl closely, letting everyone know the token was authentic.
"Each true inheritance has only one Identity Token, and these 'Luo He' words were inscribed by the Sect Master using the Sect's Immortal Technique; they cannot be faked. Since you have the Token of Luo He's true inheritance, what you say must be true,"
The assessment elder returned the token, confirming, "Do you really want to vouch for this matter in the name of Luo He's true inheritance?"
"It is true, and I shall guarantee it. If the elder still has doubts, you may ask the higher-ups within the Sect to use an Immortal Artifact to retell time and investigate the truth of this matter," the athletically-dressed girl said.
"This matter does not need to disturb the higher-ups within the Sect. Having a true inheritance's guarantee is sufficient. It seems that since Luo He's true inheritance gave you the Token, you can represent her intentions,"
The assessment elder looked seriously at Yang Ji and the athletically-dressed girl, "I'll ask you one last time, is it true that you have slain the Clone Technique of the Dao Child of the Demon Sect?"
"It is true!" Yang Ji and the athletically-dressed girl exchanged glances and nodded.
"Very well, I will note this down," said the assessment elder as he wrote on Yang Ji's Dao Sect Command Token with his unique Dao power, writing [The Main Force in Slaying the Clone Technique of Di Xuansha, the Dao Child of the Demon Sect], and on the athletically-dressed girl's Dao Sect Command Token, he wrote [The Auxiliary in Slaying the Clone Technique of Di Xuansha, the Dao Child of the Demon Sect].
Seeing this, the athletically-dressed girl wanted to speak but ultimately didn't, allowing him to write.
After a moment of contemplation, she realized that the assessment elder included her in the credit, likely to join forces with her sister.
If the matter were true, there would be no problem, but if false, there would also be a true inheritance to share the responsibility.
After writing, the assessment elder cautiously had Yang Ji perform the technique once more to be recorded in a shadow form and transmitted it into Yang Ji's Dao Sect Command Token as evidence.
With that, the assessment was officially complete.
"I have recorded your assessment record on the Token. As an outer sect elder, my authority is limited, and I cannot reward you with anything. However, if you manage to pass the second, or even the third assessment and meet with an Inner Sect Elder, then slaying the split body of the Dao Child of the Demon Sect might prove to be an opportunity for you," the assessment elder said indifferently.
"Thank you, elder. I understand," Yang Ji bowed deeply as a sign of gratitude.
