Chapter 2189: Chapter 2209: Under the Pan of All Beings, All Beings are Equal!_1

Nangong Night left with complex emotions.

He didn’t expect that Lin Chen would actually release his True Soul, canceling his control over him.

Ziyun Zunzhe laughed, "Nangong Night has a bright future. It’s generous of you to let him go. "

Lin Chen laughed, "We bear no great grudges against each other. Acting as friends over the years, there’s no need to hold him down, causing suspicion. If I give him freedom, it’s just a favor. He surely wouldn’t stir up trouble with me when he becomes powerful."

Ziyun Zunzhe laughed: "He won’t. He admires you greatly. Besides, he knows of the Dark Ancestral Dragon, Qi Sister, and the existence of Lu Yao. Looking for trouble with you is just looking for trouble."

As the two conversed, many people around them were running outside. Lin Chen casually held back one: "What’s happening?"

The passer-by answered: "The second round of the Immortal Palace’s disciple assessment is beginning, everyone is hurrying to see the excitement."

Lin Chen let go of the passer-by and turned back with a smile, "There must be many prodigies, let’s go see and gain some insights."

Looking around, Lin Chen muttered, "Where has Zi Feng run off to, she’s gone again in the blink of an eye..."

Ziyun Zunzhe laughed: "She’s not a child anymore, and she’s a Daluo Mysterious Immortal. What could happen to her in Tianyu City? You worry too much."

Lin Chen scratched his nose, laughed and said, "I always inadvertently overlook her age and strength, always feeling that she is still small and needs someone to take care of her..."

Ziyun Zunzhe extended his hand and looped his arm around Lin Chen’s arm, saying with a light laugh, "She’s the one you saved, you are her master, it’s natural for you to feel this way."

"True!"

Lin Chen chuckled, "But she’s in her forties, no longer young. I always have illusions about her. Alright, let’s go."

Upon reaching the wilderness outside the city, they saw a three-legged cauldron as big as a small hill standing in front of the massive boat-like fortress of Myriad Immortal Hall, emitting a greenish light.

Many cultivators who had passed the first round of selection crowded in the very front of the populace, forming a separate camp. There were at least several thousand people.

Lin Chen exclaimed, "Does the Immortal Clan take in so many people?"

Someone nearby casually answered, "Where would they take in so many people? These are only the ones who passed the first round. I don’t know how many will be eliminated in the next round, and there’s likely a third round. The disciples taken in by Myriad Immortal Hall are being trained as core members, they are not there for menial chores. They want prodigies and demons, not any average Joe. "

Looking at the giant cauldron in front of him, Lin Chen asked, "Is this cauldron used to test the second round? How?"

The person next to him, who seemed to be well-informed, said proudly, "You don’t know? The cauldron is known as the Pan of All Beings, meaning equality of all beings. Those taking the examination will climb up along those three cauldron legs, enter into the cauldron, then pass through the heart of the cauldron. Finally, they must climb to the very top of the Pan of All Beings to pass."

Curious, Ziyun Zunzhe asked, "Just climb up? Are there any checkpoints?"

The man answered, "The marvel of the Pan of All Beings is that no matter how powerful you are, within its range, you’ll bear corresponding pressure, so all examinees are on an equal level. Hence, the meaning of equal beings. However, no absolute fairness exists in the world. The stronger you are, the more methods you have, naturally allowing you greater advantages in the test, increasing the probability of passing every test of the Pan of All Beings."

Lin Chen looked at the huge Pan of All Beings in the distance, "What kind?"

The man smiled, "Yes, pressure is the most basic requirement, but there are also illusions, inquiries, and other checkpoints. Different locations on the cauldron have different functions, and each causes different troubles for those being tested. In short, those who can fully pass and reach the top are extraordinary."

Nodding his head, Lin Chen got a basic understanding of the entire examination process. His gaze then fell on the cultivators who were preparing to take the exam.

Mainly from the Human Clan, the other types, such as the Sea Tribe, Nether Tribe, Barbarian Tribe, and Demon Race etc. were also present. They looked diverse in appearance, all obviously powerful prodigies. Each of their glances contained pride and veiled provocation, just like explosive hedgehogs.

At the front, the person in charge of Myriad Immortal Hall had already announced the rules, then started the examination.

The rules were simple, within a certain time limit, those who reached the top platform of the Pan of All Beings would pass this round of the examination. All those who failed to pass would be eliminated.

Those three replica legs acted like three mountain ranges, extending down from the top of the Pan, thousands of people flocked to it all at once. They started climbing upwards, like climbing a mountain.

Lin Chen’s gaze swept over many examinees who were climbing. But suddenly it stopped, fixating in amazement on a petite figure, "Zi Feng!"
