Chapter 64: The Space Behind the Door

  "Do you have any other questions?" Elder Fang turned his head to glance at the creaking door, then said, "If there are no more questions, then let's begin the trial."

  As he spoke, Fang Zhanglao didn't care about the expressions of the twenty outer sect disciples present, and walked to the edge of the gate by himself, observing carefully. The two attendants who followed him naturally also gathered around Fang Zhanglao's side. The remaining outer sect disciples, including Fang Tiannan, all looked up with anticipation.

  At this point, even in the depths of one's heart, there are still a few doubts. However, under the current circumstances, everyone is holding their breath in anticipation.

  Fang Lao and the two deacons, on the edge of the gate, fumbled for a while. Fang Tian Nan noticed that the movements of the three people might be related to breaking the seal on the gate. Since even this secret place had a strong seal at the outer entrance, it was unreasonable that there would be no seal as an internal core location.

  It wasn't until a moment later that the three elders, Fang and the others, stood up and said to the twenty outer sect disciples: "Perhaps some of you have also discovered a phenomenon. That is, the composition of your twenty people was not casually arranged. Especially in terms of innate energy attributes, most of you are mainly composed of the common five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

  "Huh, it's really like that." Zhai Jianming muttered to himself upon hearing this.

  At first, Zhai Jianming had such a feeling. The twenty people on this task list all have innate attribute energy. Moreover, there are various types of attribute energies. Now, hearing Fang Changlao's words, everyone in their hearts secretly made guesses.

  "Excluding the most common five elements energy attribute, there are another five people among you who have rare ice attributes, yang attributes and other energy attributes. The old man Fang continued to say, "And in the five elements energy attribute, each attribute is exactly three people. In this way, the next attempt sequence will be carried out according to your innate energy attribute."

  Saying this, Fang Zhanglao gave Wu Zhizhi a hint with his eyes.

  Wu Zhi looked at the twenty outer sect disciples and said, "Did you all hear what Fang Zhanglao just said? Perhaps some of you still have doubts in your hearts. I will now give a final explanation."

  At this point, Wu Zhi's voice naturally paused. Fang Tian Nan and others also listened with rapt attention.

  "The space behind the gate was created by the joint efforts of the founding masters of Qingyun Sect, including our ancestors. Therefore, the inheritance inside is also arranged according to the proportion of warriors with innate attributes that appear on our continent. Simply put, the five elements are the most common innate attributes, so each time, there can be at most three martial artists who can try to transform their energy into a corresponding attribute. As for the remaining energy attributes, there are a total of five martial artists." Wu Zhishi explained, "Regardless of whether all of you can successfully enter this gate, once the twenty quotas have been tried, the seal on the gate will reopen and wait for another ten years."

  "What about him?" someone in the crowd suddenly pointed at Fang Tian Nan and said, "Xiao Ruo Shixiong and Di Jianming are naturally talented Fire Attribute Energy martial artists. Huang Zhongshen Shixiong is also a representative of Fire Attribute Energy among the outer sect disciples. And now with this new Fang Tian Nan, doesn't that mean there are four Fire Attribute Energy talented martial artists?"

  Fang Tian Nan heard this and couldn't help but glance at the person who was speaking.

  "He's called Shui You Han, a late-stage martial artist of the Water attribute energy." Fang Tian Nan explained in a low voice. Using "water and fire are incompatible" to describe the two attribute energies among the outer disciples of Qing Yun Sect is still quite fitting. So as soon as Wu Zhi Shi finished speaking, Shui You Han, who was very familiar with martial artists with Fire attribute energy talent, immediately raised a question.

  "Heh heh, let me explain this point. " Fang Changlao said with a smile, "You might think that since Fang Tiannan has entered the Transmission Cave Heaven before, he must be a warrior with fire attribute energy talent. But that's not true. At the entrance of the Transmission Cave Heaven, I personally verified it myself. Fang Tiannan's innate attribute is actually yang attribute."

  "Could it actually be a Yang attribute?" Many of the outer sect disciples couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

  。。。。。。

  Fang Tian Nan didn't pay attention to everyone's reaction.

  Firstly, as a newly promoted outer sect disciple, Fang Tian Nan was not familiar with most of the people present. Secondly, after Elder Fang's explanation, it had already been made clear. As for Fang Tian Nan, there was no need to add unnecessary explanations.

  Besides, people like Xiao Ruo, Di Jianming, and Wu Yuncan all knew in advance that Fang Tiannan's talent attribute was Yang attribute. It's just that because everyone is not familiar with Fang Tiannan as a person, they mostly know the name Fang Tiannan because of his experience entering the inheritance cave heaven.

  It's because of this that many people misunderstood Fang Tian Nan's innate talent as fire attribute energy, which is also understandable.

  Fang Tian's thoughts were not unique to him, as many of the outer sect disciples present shared similar views. Looking at the entire Qing Yun Sect, there must be even more people who held such opinions.

  "Alright, wanting to pass through this gate, in the order of precedence, there is no difference at all." Fang Zhanglao announced, "So, next, let's have the three warriors with gold attribute energy come and try first."

  Soon after, another deacon beside Fang Zhanglao quickly pulled out a small booklet and began to read out the names of the three. Among them was Chen Yan, who had the gold attribute energy talent that Jia Jianming had mentioned when he first saw the list.

  Among the twenty outer disciples, three people walked out with the voice of this executor.

  "Chen Yan, you first." The clerk said as he called out his name.

  Among the three, one with a calm expression walked out and it was Chen Yan. He didn't hesitate either and quickly walked to the front of the gate under everyone's gaze. Just as Chen Yan wanted to turn his head and ask what he should do next, Fang Lao's voice had already sounded: "Put your hands in contact with the gate, then quietly wait, that's all."

  Chen Yan carefully followed Fang Zhanglao's instructions and pressed his hands onto the gate.

  The large gate suddenly emitted a faint light. Unlike the "creaking" sound it made earlier, the gate was now quiet, with only the light spreading from Chen Yun's hands to his entire body, completely enveloping him. After about a minute, the gate had quietly opened, and the light still lingered on Chen Yun's body without disappearing.

  The faces of Fang Lao and the two deacons suddenly showed joy.

  Wu Zhi said with satisfaction: "Chen Yan, you can now slowly walk into the gate. Remember, don't be nervous, just keep a calm mind."

  "Yes." Chen Yan heard Wu Zhi's hint, although he only said one word, but the people present could hear the excitement in Chen Yan's heart from this word.

  As Chen Yan walked through the gate, the light that was still scattered around him suddenly disappeared, and the place where everyone was paying attention was also pitch black. Then, the big gate on the wall also closed instantly, as if it had never been opened before.

  。。。。。。

  It can be said that Chen Yan, as the first person to attempt it, successfully passed through, undoubtedly setting a good example for the remaining nineteen outer sect disciples and giving them a boost of confidence. However, the next two warriors with gold attribute energy talents were rejected by the gate.

  This undoubtedly cast another shadow over everyone's heart.

  Fang Tian Nan noticed that the two failed individuals had a hint of despair on their faces. Recalling the process they attempted, it was roughly similar to the phenomenon triggered by Chen Yan. However, when the light emanating from the gate spread across the two individuals' bodies, it only lasted for an instant before disappearing completely, and the gate did not open.

  Fang Tian Nan pondered, the duration of time these rays of light from the gate remained on his body was likely to be the key to whether he could enter through this gate.

  Perhaps these rays are the means by which the ancestors of the Qingyun Sect tested the innate talent, qualifications and strength of those who came to this secret place.

  With the failure of the two attempters, for a time, everyone in the cave was solemn-faced, not even daring to breathe, quiet and eerily still.
