But, as the white-robed disciple was supporting Lu Tianyu to the entrance of the grand hall, they suddenly heard a loud rumbling sound from behind, which made his ears ring incessantly.
The white-robed disciple was taken aback and quickly turned his head to look. Seeing the scene behind him, his eyes widened in disbelief, almost popping out of their sockets.
He witnessed a spectacle that he would never forget for the rest of his life.
He saw the testing sphere, which stood in the center of the grand hall, emitting a dazzling light of five colors, illuminating every corner of the hall with its brilliance.
The dazzling light of five colors was golden yellow, emerald green, azure blue, scarlet red, and earthy yellow.
The five colors intertwined and entangled with each other, like five giant dragons rampaging through the entire hall, emitting deafening roars that combined to form the previous rumbling sound.
Even the grand hall itself trembled violently under the impact of the five dragons, as if it could not bear the force and was about to collapse.
This scene was not only witnessed by the white-robed disciple but also by others who quickly saw it. They all opened their mouths wide in shock, staring at the five dragons coiling above the testing sphere, their eyes filled with disbelief and horror.
Lu Tianyu, sensing the abnormality behind him, also quickly turned his head. Seeing this scene, he was immediately stunned, unsure of what had happened.
"What's going on?" The strange phenomenon in the testing hall shocked all the members of the Flowing Cloud Sect.
In a secret room deep underground within the inner sect of the Flowing Cloud Sect, six white-haired elders who had been in long-term seclusion suddenly opened their eyes in shock, their eyes radiating overwhelming astonishment.
This scene also occurred simultaneously at the residences of other inner sect disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect. Countless powerful inner sect disciples, who had already reached the War Lord realm and above, all turned their gazes toward the direction of the testing hall, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"Clack!" "Roar!" All the immortal cranes and mountain guardian beasts living within the cloud formation of the Flowing Cloud Sect, upon hearing the roar of the five dragons, immediately let out terrified screams, falling from the sky and prostrating themselves on the ground, as if paying homage to their king.
However, these were just the peripheral shocks caused by the strange phenomena inside the hall. The people inside the hall felt the most intense effects.
As the five dragons roared wildly, everyone inside the hall, except for Lu Tianyu, felt their battle qi surging uncontrollably, as if it wanted to burst out of their bodies.
"Swish, swish." At this moment, various attribute lights, either weak or dazzling, burst out of the bodies of the people involuntarily, forming ethereal figures that prostrated themselves on the ground, bowing in utmost reverence to the five-colored dragons.
Even the gray-robed elder was no exception. However, his strength far exceeded that of the others, so the light that burst out of his body was a three-attribute innate spirit root, forming a faint ethereal figure that resembled him, kneeling on one knee and bowing to the five dragons.
Compared to the ethereal figures of the others, who were kneeling on both knees, the gray-robed elder was much stronger.
At this moment, the ten giant dragon eyes of the five dragons, which seemed to be solidified, suddenly swept across the hall, causing everyone inside to break out in cold sweat, as if the five dragons represented supreme heavenly authority, and with just one glance, they could see into the depths of their souls, leaving nothing hidden.
"Roar!" The five dragons opened their mouths again, emitting a deafening roar that echoed throughout the Flowing Cloud Sect, and then their bodies suddenly moved, transforming into points of five-colored light and gradually disappearing into the air.
"Thud, thud!" Under the power of this roar, countless people with smaller courage immediately fell to their knees, their foreheads drenched in cold sweat, soaking their robes.
As the five dragons dissipated into light, the ethereal figures that had prostrated themselves on the ground were immediately drawn back into the bodies of the people, once again transforming into their unique attribute spirit roots.
The entire hall instantly became eerily quiet, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard. Everyone stood in shock, no one speaking, only the heavy breathing echoing slowly in the hall.
"Phew" After a long time, the sound of the gray-robed elder drawing a deep breath finally broke the silence. Although the sound was not loud, in such a deathly quiet atmosphere, it sounded abnormally loud and piercing, causing everyone to snap out of their shock and turn to look at the gray-robed elder.
Because no one knew what had just happened, they could only look to him, hoping for an answer.
"Quick, bring Lu Tianyu over!" The gray-robed elder, ignoring everyone, suddenly looked at Lu Tianyu and the white-robed disciple standing at the entrance of the hall, his voice unusually excited.
The white-robed disciple and Lu Tianyu, hearing this, walked over to the gray-robed elder with puzzled faces.
"Junior Uncle, what exactly happened with the testing sphere just now?" The white-robed disciple, standing three meters in front of the gray-robed elder, finally could not contain his curiosity and asked, still trembling with fear.
"Tianyu, come over, stand next to me quickly." The gray-robed elder did not answer the white-robed disciple but instead warmly beckoned to Lu Tianyu, as if in his eyes, only Lu Tianyu existed, and no one else.
Seeing this, Lu Tianyu's heart stirred slightly, as if he had guessed something, but he was not entirely sure. After all, what had just happened was too shocking, even to him, and he did not know what had caused it. Therefore, despite his suspicions, he did not dare to be certain that the phenomenon was caused by him. He did not speak rashly but walked over to the gray-robed elder and quietly looked at him.
"Good, very good, excellent. You, my last disciple, I have decided to take you!" The gray-robed elder did not explain anything but said these incomprehensible words with great joy.
The gray-robed elder's words made it clear to the shocked crowd that the strange phenomenon was likely caused by Lu Tianyu.
"Junior Uncle, you mean the five-dragon spectacle was... caused by Brother Lu?" The white-robed disciple, hearing this, immediately asked in disbelief.
"Yes, senior, that boy clearly has a very weak five-attribute spirit root, one of the lowest qualities. How could he possibly cause such a heavenly phenomenon? You must be mistaken," some people, unable to believe it, especially those who had mocked and ridiculed Lu Tianyu during the test, immediately raised objections.
Some people have a very malicious side; they cannot stand to see others better than them. If someone is in trouble, they will do everything to mock and sneer at them, hoping to send them to the depths of hell, never to rise again.
But if you turn your life around and become successful, these people will raise objections, determined to bring you down.
Now, because of the gray-robed elder's extremely warm attitude toward Lu Tianyu, these people were greatly displeased and quickly raised objections, hoping to bring Lu Tianyu down again.
"Shut up, all of you." The gray-robed elder, hearing this, immediately gave a cold glance to those who raised objections, his voice devoid of any emotion.
Those people, hearing this, did not dare to say anything more but still looked at the gray-robed elder with suspicion.
"Junior Uncle, what exactly is going on? Can you explain it to us?" The white-robed disciple, seeing this, asked anxiously again.
"Yes, senior, what does the previous scene mean?" Lu Tianyu also asked, eager to understand whether the five-dragon spectacle was caused by him and what it meant.
"Ha ha, Little Feather, you don't know, the scene you caused confirms a legend on the continent." The gray-robed elder immediately grabbed Lu Tianyu's right hand with great enthusiasm, as if afraid he would run away. He also quickly changed his address from Tianyu to Little Feather, making it seem more intimate.
"What legend?" Lu Tianyu, not paying attention, continued to ask in confusion.
At this moment, everyone in the hall stretched their necks, held their breath, and stared intently at the gray-robed elder, waiting for him to explain.
"This legend is about the Five-Element Chaos Body. Many of the direct descendants of the major families here should have heard of this legend, right?" The gray-robed elder, after saying this, glanced meaningfully at everyone in the hall.
"Five... Five-Element Chaos Body? Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. Senior, the records in my family's archives state that the Five-Element Chaos Body has been extinct on the continent for tens of thousands of years. It is a once-in-a-millennium extraordinary constitution. How could he possibly have such an extinct constitution?" At this moment, a young man in a blue robe stepped forward, his face dark, and loudly argued.
After speaking, a faint trace of killing intent flashed in the depths of the blue-robed man's pupils, but it was well concealed, and only a few people noticed it.
This man was the one who had shown hostility toward Lu Tianyu during the climb up the Heavenly Path the day before.
"What is your name?" The gray-robed elder, seeing this, immediately frowned and asked sternly.
"Your junior is Wang Aotian." The blue-robed man immediately answered truthfully.
"I met you once when I visited the Wang family in the past. You were only about six years old then. Time flies, and now you have grown so much. Well, you don't need to doubt it. I have already made it clear that Little Feather is a Five-Element Chaos Body. Whether you believe it or not is up to you. Step back." The gray-robed elder waved his hand dismissively, and the blue-robed man had no choice but to retreat reluctantly.
"If this boy were not a direct descendant of the Wang family, showing hostility toward Little Feather today would be an unforgivable capital offense. Well, I will let it go for now, but I will inform the elders of the Wang family to discipline him properly in the future." The gray-robed elder muttered to himself, then looked at Lu Tianyu again, his gaze like that of someone staring at a priceless treasure.
