The Azure Sky Immortal Sect rarely issues wanted notices for others.

Only those who have angered the Azure Sky Immortal Sect and fled from justice appear on their wanted list.

And Ye Chen, after killing Lu Tong, left the Celestial Flame Academy with the black-clad girl and others the very next day.

Thus, he immediately became a wanted target of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

Anyone who can capture Ye Chen would be greatly rewarded.

Even killing Ye Chen would earn a reward from the Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

So, in Lin Man's view, Ye Chen coming to participate in the Outer Disciple examination was like a moth flying into the flame.

"He's doomed. Ye Chen is definitely doomed this time. But since he caused so many talents in our Celestial Pearl Academy to die, he deserves his fate," the young cultivator beside Lin Man said with a cold smirk, his eyes full of schadenfreude.

Like Lin Man, he was an Immortal Seed painstakingly cultivated by the Celestial Pearl Academy and qualified to participate in the Outer Disciple examination.

However, the last time due to some matters, he did not enter the Immortal Secret Realm to explore.

But the other talents from the Celestial Pearl Academy weren't so lucky; they all perished at the hands of the demon soul of the Three-tailed Demon Fox.

And Ye Chen was the main culprit of all this.

If it weren't for Ye Chen opening the Carefree Wanderer's cave, those talents wouldn't have died.

"Hmph! This is self-inflicted and unavailing. Who gave him the courage to be so arrogant, to even dare kill the power sent by the Azure Sky Immortal Sect to take over the War King Hall?" Lin Man said in a mocking tone, looking at Ye Chen as if he were a dead man.

"The Outer Disciple examination is about to begin, everyone come in," at that moment, a steward from the Azure Sky Immortal Sect suddenly appeared in the sky above the crowd and spoke in an extremely loud voice.

"Haha, it's finally about to start."

"Let's go, this time I must become an Outer Disciple of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect."

"With senior brother's strength, there's absolutely no problem." Outside the mountain gate of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect, the young talents who came to participate in the Outer Disciple examination were all excited, surging towards the Azure Sky Immortal Sect like a tide.

A moment later,

everyone arrived in front of an incomparably large square.

This square, spanning several dozens of miles, could simultaneously accommodate tens of thousands of people.

In front of the square stood seven stone platforms made of White Jade, each bearing powerful individuals from the Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

"The Azure Sky Immortal Sect has Seven Great Peaks, each with different standards for recruiting disciples. Among them, Azure Sky Peak is undoubtedly the hardest to join," a young talent said, his gaze unconsciously falling on the first stone platform.

This stone platform was crafted by the powerful individuals of Azure Sky Peak, the strongest faction of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

If anyone wants to join Azure Sky Peak, they must go to the top of this stone platform to take part in the examination.

However, each person only gets one chance to take the examination.

If they fail, they will be completely eliminated and even if they want to join other factions, they'll have to wait until next year to come back.

"Sigh! I also want to join Azure Sky Peak, but I don't think I have the strength, so I'll join Celestial Sword Peak instead."

"Yeah, if we choose the wrong faction and fail the examination, we'll have to wait until next year to come back. So, it's best to choose those we are confident of passing." Many young talents started whispering among themselves.

The Seven Great Peaks of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect are Azure Sky Peak, Piaomiao Peak, Overlord Body Peak, Celestial Talisman Peak, Celestial Sword Peak, Profound Pill Peak, and Profound Artifact Peak.

Among them, Azure Sky Peak is the most profound of the Seven Great Peaks, as every sect leader throughout history has emerged from it.

For this reason, becoming a disciple of Azure Sky Peak is undoubtedly the most difficult.

Piaomiao Peak's heritage is second only to Azure Sky Peak.

However, Piaomiao Peak only accepts female cultivators; male cultivators, no matter how talented, cannot join.

As for Overlord Body Peak, it requires body refining talents to meet a certain standard.

Therefore, young talents participating in the examination must have self-awareness.

If they lack the ability but insist on joining a certain faction, they're doomed to be eliminated.

"My Divine Soul Talent is decent, so I'm planning to join Profound Pill Peak."

"I'm more interested in Artifact Refining, so Profound Artifact Peak suits me better," some young Divine Soul Masters said among the crowd.

Profound Pill Peak and Profound Artifact Peak generally recruit disciples who are Divine Soul Masters.

Therefore, many talents with Divine Soul Talent are eager to join them.

If their Divine Soul can step into the Third Level of Divine Sense Realm, they will be taken seriously by the higher-ups and learn many techniques in Alchemy and Artifact Refining.

This undoubtedly holds immense allure for him.

After all, whether it's elixirs or weapons, they are essential for the cultivators of this world.

If they can master these two skills, they'll be in high demand wherever they go.

"This platform should be used by Overlord Body Peak to evaluate disciples, but since I've already received an invitation from Overlord Body Peak, I can join without undergoing the assessment." At this moment, Ye Chen's gaze fell on the top of the third White Jade platform.

This platform was crafted by the strong individuals of Overlord Body Peak. Anyone desiring to join Overlord Body Peak can ascend this platform to take the assessment.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you must first have a spot to participate in the assessment.

In those mortal dynasties, only prodigies deemed Immortal Seeds have the right to participate in the assessment.

However, in Cang Province, where great families have immortals residing, it's much easier because Azure Sky Immortal Sect grants them numerous assessment slots every year.

Thus, this time, almost more than ninety percent of the young talents arriving for the assessment hail from those prominent Cang Province families.

In contrast, the number of young talents from mortal dynasties is pitifully small.

"Ye Chen, is it really Ye Chen?"

"My heavens! I must be seeing things. How dare this worthless being appear here? Who on earth gave him the courage?" At this moment, a series of exclamations erupted from the crowd.

A group of young prodigies from the mortal dynasties fixed their eyes on Ye Chen, staring with wide eyes full of disbelief.

Among these young talents, many were experts on the Hidden Dragon List and had encountered Ye Chen in the Immortal Secret Realm before.

Thus, they immediately recognized Ye Chen.

"Ha! Who would have thought, this trash has such audacity. To dare come to Azure Sky Immortal Sect's Outer Disciple assessment while he is being hunted by them, I'm curious to see how he plans to end well this time." A graceful and beautiful woman couldn't help but sneer, her lips curling up with a mocking smile.

This woman turned out to be Huang Yanran, the second-ranked genius on the Hidden Dragon List.

Even she couldn't anticipate that Ye Chen, this wastrel, would dare show up in Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

This was simply courting death.

It must be known that Ye Chen had not only offended Wang Tian, Xiahou Ting, and Ye Lin'Er but also killed Lu Tong, who was heading to Celestial Flame Academy to take over the War King Hall.

Therefore, Azure Sky Immortal Sect's powerful beings would definitely not spare him.

No matter how strong he might be, in front of the powerhouses of Azure Sky Immortal Sect, he was no different from an ant.

Azure Sky Immortal Sect could easily crush Ye Chen with any random immortal.

"What? This guy is Ye Chen?"

"Isn't he already wanted by Azure Sky Immortal Sect? How dare he still appear here?"

"Arrogant, truly arrogant. He's blatantly challenging the dignity of Azure Sky Immortal Sect! Who on earth gave him such audacious guts!" Many young prodigies from the various prominent families in Cang Province were also drawn to Ye Chen, with cold smiles on their faces.

Azure Sky Immortal Sect has always been the strongest force in Cang Province, even those great families with immortals are highly apprehensive of it.

But now, an ant with merely Celestial Spirit Realm cultivation while wanted by Azure Sky Immortal Sect, dares to brazenly walk into their midst.

To Azure Sky Immortal Sect, this was undoubtedly a massive provocation.

If they weren't witnessing it firsthand, they couldn't imagine someone being this audacious.

"Ignorant fool, why don't you quickly surrender? You killed Lu Ping's father; no one in this world can save you." At this moment, an exceedingly icy voice suddenly sounded beside Ye Chen's ear, the tone filled with fierce killing intent.

Whoosh!

Subsequently, a robust black-robed youth emerged from the crowd, fixing his gaze filled with mockery on Ye Chen, as if looking at an ant ready to be crushed.

"Zhou Long, God! It's Zhou Long."

"He's one of the top-rated talents amongst our Cang Province's younger generation, here to take the Overlord Body Peak's assessment this time." The surrounding young prodigies exclaimed, their eyes filled with deep apprehension.

"Ha! There's a spectacle to be had now. Zhou Long's strength isn't something Wang Yang and Xiahou Lei can match, much stronger than me. In the mortal world, perhaps only the freak Lu Ping can crush him, while Ye Chen, who only relies on Secret Treasure, is utterly hopeless before him." Beside them, Huang Yanran couldn't help but chuckle, her lips carrying a mocking smile.

Yes!

She admitted Ye Chen's strength was quite formidable, even defeating Ye Lin'Er.

However, it was all due to relying on Secret Treasure; without it, he was nothing.

Moreover, to prevent cheating among the young talents participating in the assessment, the plaza was heavily restricted.

The power of many Secret Treasures couldn't be utilized.

Thus, let alone Zhou Long, even she had absolute confidence in easily crushing Ye Chen, this wastrel.
