Chapter 403: Beihe World Star, First Test, Passed!

Zhao King Mansion, Wind River Cave Heaven, under a towering tree that seemed to be covered in golden eyes.

"Buzz~"

An eye in the heart of the tree opened, and dark golden ripples spread through the void toward the front.

A thousand miles away from the Thousand Phantom Tree, a black-haired young man sat cross-legged on a flat boulder.

Facing the willpower impact pressing in from all directions, the young man closed his eyes, unmoved, like a reef in a rushing current.

Suddenly, the Thousand Phantom Tree stopped shaking, and a phantom of a middle-aged man in scholar's robes emerged from the heart of the tree.

"Emperor, there are only three years left before the Primordial Assembly begins, and you still need to rush to Beihe World Star. It is time to end your cultivation."

"That was fast." Zhao Xing immediately opened his eyes and glanced at the panel.

【Name: Zhao Xing】

【Realm: Small Divine Ability Realm Perfection】

【Profession: Agricultural Minister】

【Dao Field: Taiyin First Stage】

【Age: 4210】

【Remaining Lifespan: 2. 9 Eras】

【Giant Yang Clone (Small): Sixth Stage Divine Ability】

【Killing Thought Blade (Small): Ninth Stage Divine Ability】

【Mental Bell (Small): Sixth Stage Divine Ability】

【Essence-Removing Divine Ability (Small): Fifth Stage Divine Ability】

【Purple Light Eight Eras (Small): Divine Ability Perfection】

【Three God Fate Palace (Small): Divine Ability Perfection】

【Soul Heaven Vision (Small): Sixth Stage Divine Ability】

【Divine Fire Turtle Transformation (Small): Fifth Stage Divine Ability】

"Over a hundred years of cultivation, the results are remarkable." Zhao Xing was very satisfied. Practicing with the Eight-Horned Demon Turtle, both mental and willpower divine abilities had made remarkable progress.

As for the Great Divine Ability Five-Finger Mountain, he hadn't learned it yet, so it didn't appear on the panel.

Zhao Xing waved his hand forward, and the Thousand Phantom Tree obediently retracted its divine ability. Then its size shrank rapidly, and soon it was only half a person tall, landing in Zhao Xing's palm as if it had grown on his hand.

Zhao Xing flashed and appeared at the entrance of the Wind River Cave Heaven.

Then he saw a majestic black dog standing at the entrance of the Wind River Cave Heaven, beside a mountain goat with red hair on its head, and a large cat with black-purple patterns.

"Meow~" The Proud Heaven Cat jumped onto Zhao Xing's shoulder and lay down.

The Howling Heaven Dog jumped onto Zhao Xing's arm, then kept sniffing its nose at the Thousand Phantom Tree, and even stuck out its tongue to lick it.

"Get away, you silly dog!" The Thousand Phantom Tree shook its branches and whipped the Howling Heaven Dog away.

"Awoo~" The Howling Heaven Dog let out a strange cry, immediately climbed up Zhao Xing's arm, and lay down on his right shoulder.

"Baa~~" The Inverted Sheep with red hair on its head didn't get a good spot and bleated anxiously.

"Woof woof~" Howling Heaven stretched out its claws, mercilessly mocking the little red-haired one.

The Phantom Heaven Sheep aimed at various positions on Zhao Xing, and finally jumped onto Zhao Xing's chest and stood there.

As long as it wasn't ninety degrees, it was a place it could stand!

Zhao Xing smiled lightly, reached out to take the little sheep, and placed it in a position with the Howling Heaven Dog.

Leaving the cave heaven, quite a few people were already waiting in the Zhao King Mansion.

Including Liu Tianning, Long Xiao, Chen Shijie, Mi Fu, Ye Yukong, Lu Ying, Xia Jing... almost all the high officials of the Great Zhou were here.

Facing the grand event of the Red Star Empire that occurred once every three thousand years, Ji Che temporarily suspended his field inspections and ordered people to rush back. Only a limited number of people, such as Ji Si and Wei Hong, remained in the field.

"Zhao Xing, you finally came out." Long Xiao was in full military uniform. "We must hurry; there are only three years left before it starts, and it will take us a few months to rush to Beihe World Star."

"Little guard, what's the rush?" Xia Jing said slowly.

"You." Long Xiao glared.

"Hahahaha."

The crowd burst into laughter.

"Is everyone here?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Everyone from the Great Zhou who signed up is here," Lu Ying said. "A total of 312 people."

"Then let's go." Zhao Xing waved his hand, and a world boat shaped like a mountain cat appeared. All 312 people entered the interior of the Mountain Cat world boat.

After entering the world boat, Zhao Xing began to check the details published by the Primordial Assembly through the Star Mirror.

【Imperial Citizen Zhao Xing, welcome to sign up for the Primordial Assembly】

【The Primordial Assembly has a total of four rounds of assessment.】

【The first round of assessment takes place on the administrative world stars of the Empire's major higher-order star systems.】

【Your assessment location is: Beihe Star System, Beihe World Star.】

【Registration has closed; a total of 724. billion people signed up for the Beihe Star System this time.】

"The Beihe Star System only has over 700 billion?"

Zhao Xing signed up as soon as the registration channel opened.

At that time, hundreds of millions of people signed up within just three minutes, but after a hundred years, only over 700 billion people had signed up.

Over 700 billion sounds like a lot, but the Beihe Star System has over a trillion yin-yang binary stars, and as for world stars and star lands, they are countless.

However, life world stars and star lands were smaller. Adding them all together, big and small, it was only over 80 billion.

"The Milky Way has 400 billion stars; this Beihe Star System is only slightly larger than the Milky Way. Its development level is far inferior to the Beiye Star System where Jing Yan is." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"Registration fee 10, 00 Red Star Coins? Just collecting registration fees is a huge income."

"However, compared to the previous dozen sessions, this data is declining year by year."

"The fiscal deficit of the Beihe Star System is constantly growing..."

"It seems the Empire's development has also reached a bottleneck. No wonder they are anxious to open up new territories."

Zhao Xing browsed through various data. As a Grand Minister of Agriculture, looking at various data, especially fiscal data, had become an instinctive habit.

【This Primordial Assembly is absolutely fair and just. All contestants are in the Origin Realm, and no contestant is allowed to use their own Dao soldiers, pets, plant troop types...】

【After the first round of assessment ends, the second round of assessment will begin in 100 years, and the assessment location will be in the twenty-eight top-tier star systems of the Red Star Empire.】

【After the second round of assessment ends, the third round of assessment will begin in 100 years, and the assessment location will remain the same.】

【After the third round of assessment ends, the fourth round of assessment will begin in 100 years, and the assessment location will be the 'Primordial World'.】

With a total of four rounds of selection, walking to the fourth round meant one could enter the Primordial World to take a look.

If one wanted to stay and study, one had to pass the fourth round.

"According to the calculations of the 'Great Evolution Divine Weapon' and the situation of previous sessions, of the over 700 billion people in the Beihe Star System, only about 15, 00 people can pass."

"The competition is really huge."

Over 700 billion people, and the Great Evolution Divine Weapon predicted only 15, 00 people would pass!

"However, with the grand event opening, many first-tier forces will also go to Beihe World Star to start assessments. The threshold for these first-tier forces to recruit people is much lower than that of the Primordial World."

In short, if one wants to cultivate, there are still many channels.

Like Ten Thousand Heart Island, they also started assessments in various administrative star systems at this time.

If you can't get into a sacred ground, you can try others.

In short, Beihe World Star is now bustling with activity.

With 312 people from the Great Zhou, they wouldn't make a wasted trip; seeing the world is also good.

Three months later, the Mountain Cat world boat had already entered Beihe World Star.

As the center of the entire Beihe Star System, Beihe World Star is a top-tier world star, but because the entire star system is not large, it is only rated as a "higher-order star system."

Entering the world star under orderly guidance, Zhao Xing and others saw seventy-two huge light gates on the world wall, as if embedded in the world wall.

"Seventy-two light gates are the seventy-two entrances to the assessment venue."

According to previous experience, there are far fewer combat-oriented Agricultural Ministers than auxiliary ones, about 80-20.

This is just a competition; if it were in real life, less than 10% of Self-Nature School Agricultural Ministers would be combat-oriented.

"Forget it, I don't have enough preparation time, so I won't go to the auxiliary zone to roll." Zhao Xing finally confirmed the 【Combat Zone】.

"Me." Chen Shijie spoke up.

"And me." Xia Jing, Mi Fu, and Ye Yukong also stood out.

There were twenty-three people in total, all at the No. 8 venue.

"There are only two years left in the countdown; we can go inside to prepare for battle." Zhao Xing put away the Mountain Cat world boat.

In fact, the entrance had already started twenty years ago, and they were considered to have arrived relatively late.

"I wish you all success in passing."

"Action!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~

Under the vast starry sky, Zhao Xing appeared on a floating platform with an oval light shield, surrounded by clouds and mist, with a light gate behind him.

Zhao Xing looked up and saw the number 9510 written on the gate, along with a countdown to the start of the assessment.

"Buzz~"

At the top of the gate frame, there was a crystal ball. When Zhao Xing entered, a light shadow emerged, accompanied by a voice.

"I am the artifact spirit of the Great Evolution Divine Weapon. All your actions are under surveillance. After the assessment begins, please do not perform actions that violate the assessment rules. This includes but is not limited to taking pills, using equipment..."

Zhao Xing listened quietly.

After repeating it three times, the artifact spirit of the Great Evolution Divine Weapon went silent.

Zhao Xing turned back and looked around.

Because there was mist all around, he couldn't see the outside world at all, nor did he know what the assessment content was, only a starry sky above his head.

Only after the assessment officially begins will the clouds and mist disperse.

Zhao Xing didn't look much, closed his eyes to rest, and adjusted his state to the peak.

Three days until the first round of the Primordial Assembly begins.

"Buzz~"

In the crystal ball at the top of the light gate, the artifact spirit of the Great Evolution Divine Weapon appeared again.

It emitted a gentle light, waking Zhao Xing, who was meditating and cultivating.

"The assessment will begin at the Chen hour two days from now. Please be prepared."

Zhao Xing opened his eyes and looked beside the light gate.

At this time, a stone stele rose at the foot of the light gate. On it was a line of gray characters:

【Current remaining number of people: 712 billion】

Because the assessment had not yet begun, the numbers were not jumping.

"I must persist until there are only 15, 00 people left to have a chance to pass." Zhao Xing thought to himself. "The longer I persist, the better."

15, 00 people was the predicted data of the Great Evolution Divine Weapon, which was not necessarily accurate.

If it were in the highly competitive Beiye Star System, this number would be 890, 00; it mainly depends on the density of practitioners.

In the most prosperous Imperial Capital Star System, even 80 million people had to pass the first round! Because the spiritual energy environment of the Imperial Capital Star System is better, and more geniuses are born.

Of course, to prevent citizens of high-spiritual-energy star systems from running to other regions to sign up, the Primordial Assembly would verify identity and household registration; those who had changed within three thousand years could only return to their original place of registration to participate.

The assessment intensity of high-spiritual-energy star systems must be higher; their potential is tapped earlier. And the assessment intensity of low-spiritual-energy star systems is lower, and there is still great potential to be tapped.

"If nothing goes wrong, the first test of this session is a 'Thousand Phantom Tree'."

"I just don't know what level the Thousand Phantom Tree of the Beihe Star System is." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"The Thousand Phantom Tree of the Imperial Capital Star System, I remember, is in the middle stage of the Yin-Yang Dao Domain Realm, and the floating platform will constantly approach, making the mental impact gradually stronger."

Zhao Xing had a Thousand Phantom Tree, and he had been using it for cultivation during his previous hundred years of cultivation.

People from the Great Zhou would occasionally come into the Wind River Cave Heaven to cultivate, but Zhao Xing did not force it.

The difficulty of the assessment is there; even if you prepare in advance, if your talent is too poor, you will be eliminated later anyway, so there is no point in forcing it.

Two days later, the artifact spirit of the Great Evolution Divine Weapon sent a majestic voice.

"Assessment begins!"

As the voice fell, the clouds and mist around dispersed instantly.

"Buzz~"

In the starry sky ahead, a tree that covered the sky and sun appeared, looking like a sun, emitting golden light.

Countless dark golden leaves, with patterns on them like eyes, almost filled the entire starry sky.

"Clatter~" The Thousand Phantom Tree shook its leaves, and mental impacts were everywhere, stabbing into the barrier.

Zhao Xing didn't even blink.

"100 million miles away from the Thousand Phantom Tree, this intensity is about the same as scratching an itch."

Zhao Xing didn't have to worry about getting hurt either; there was a recovery array inside the barrier. Once injured and unable to persist, one would be moved away and treated immediately. Of course, this meant elimination.

Zhao Xing glanced at the stone stele beside the light gate and blinked.

Because the remaining number of people displayed on the stone stele suddenly dropped to 600 billion.

"So many people eliminated in one second?"

"There are really so many people here for the fun."

"10, 00 is also money."

When the assessment just started, the intensity was very weak. Even the first stage, as long as they had undergone willpower training, could easily resist it.

However, caught off guard, many people were still eliminated.

"The assessment of the Primordial Assembly, whether it is the first stage or the third stage, is assessed together. The first mental willpower pass does not distinguish between professions; everyone has the same content."

Dao Domain Realm experts do not participate, because Dao Domain Realm experts are usually over ten thousand years old and no longer meet the threshold. Moreover, if Dao Domain Realm experts go to guard the desolate domain, even if it is a Five Elements Dao Domain Realm expert, they can exchange for a chance to enter the Primordial World for study in two or three thousand years.

Great Divine Ability Realm experts are very rare. Among one billion third-stage experts, it is not certain that anyone can break the shackles and continue to practice deeply in the Origin Realm, and the Primordial World recruits those Great Divine Ability experts.

"I wonder if there are two thousand Great Divine Ability experts in the Beihe Star System this session?" Zhao Xing thought, without data for reference, he didn't know.

However, Great Divine Ability experts are not necessarily able to pass; it is possible that the Great Divine Ability they cultivated is not suitable for dealing with the assessment.

For example, Zhao Xing has now cultivated the Great Divine Ability Five-Finger Mountain, but it is of no use for the willpower pass; if you can't resist, you can't resist.

"Boom~~"

After the first day, the floating platform began to move forward.

Zhao Xing also saw countless light spots, which were other contestants, but he couldn't see them very clearly.

The barrier protected the contestants from interfering with each other.

"There are still over 300 billion." Zhao Xing glanced at the remaining number of people, closed his eyes, and began to practice.

Zhao Xing was very relaxed, but it was different for others.

The innate Great Divine Ability 【Thousand Phantom Eye】 of the Thousand Phantom Tree constantly eroded everyone's mind.

On the first day, 54 third-stage experts from the Great Zhou were eliminated.

"Swish swish~"

After elimination, these people were thrown out.

They returned to a resettlement area of Beihe World Star.

"The mental willpower pass is really difficult." After the Northern Star Prince Qin Feng appeared, he couldn't help but sigh.

In the Xuanhuang World, he was considered one of the first batch of experts to break through to the Rule Realm. Back then, it was his Queen and brother-in-law who were turned into chickens and dogs by Zhao Xing.

"Northern Star Prince, were you also eliminated?" A martial general looked at Northern Star Prince Qin Feng.

"Ashamed." Northern Star Prince shook his head.

"It seems that blindly pursuing the strength of power is not enough; mental willpower training is also very important." Another Qi-cultivator martial general sighed.

In the third stage, they mainly pursued digging out the treasures of the body, and their energy was focused on this.

In fact, everyone knew that mental willpower would be a weak point, but not everyone would make up for it.

"Usually, I feel that buying a treasure for self-defense is enough. Can my own hard cultivation compare to the treasure for self-defense created by a master refiner?"

"Group action, Qi-cultivator martial generals will usually be equipped with teammates on the soul path."

"With Dao soldiers protecting, I don't feel this is a weak point."

"Now that I see it, I realize it is still very necessary." Northern Star Prince sighed.

Eliminated in one day, there was simply no experience at all!

10, 00 Red Star Coins registration fee, played for one day, no face.

"Northern Star Prince is right." Many martial generals echoed.

In fact, they were just talking about it now.

Without demand, there is no motivation for cultivation.

Assessment is assessment, reality is reality. In reality, with Dao soldiers protecting the body, who would go to hard-cultivate mental willpower?

Not taking the shortcut, isn't that self-abuse?

Of course, there were also those like Northern Star Prince who seriously considered high-intensity mental training in the future.

Beiye Star System, under the starry sky, on the 10, 00th floating platform.

Yu Tianqing looked at that Thousand Phantom Tree, a little confused.

"Started? Is this tree the test?"

"Strange... why don't I feel anything."

A thousand years had passed, and Yu Tianqing's 【Eye of Breaking Delusion】 had become much stronger, but it was still in the initial development stage.

After the assessment started, for a whole day, he felt nothing.

He even mistakenly thought that he felt nothing because he was in a powerful illusion.

"Still have to keep my spirits up."

Yu Tianqing muttered.

In the same place, Jing Yan frowned.

"The first pass is mental willpower, very troublesome."

Jing Yan had once aspired to improve his mental willpower in the World of Transmission, but after backtracking, he forgot about it.

He had now reached the third stage, but he was not particularly outstanding in this regard.

Facing many competitors, Jing Yan was not sure he could hold on to the end.

"If I can enter the Primordial World for cultivation, three thousand years of cultivation, I might be able to kill my way into the top ten thousand inheritance rankings."

"But my willpower divine ability is only at the fourth stage, just out of the introductory stage."

"Let's work hard." Jing Yan began to hold the Buddha's feet temporarily, using the Thousand Phantom Tree to practice willpower divine abilities.

Beihe Star System, Liu Tianning's floating platform.

Liu Tianning emptied his body and mind, letting the power of the Thousand Phantom Tree impact him.

He practiced a willpower divine ability called "Mirror Heart Lake," which was also bought from Ten Thousand Heart Island and belonged to the precursor of the Great Divine Ability "Mental Mother River."

Unlike Zhao Xing, Liu Tianning had started practicing in this area a thousand years ago when he came to the Red Star Empire.

Because Liu Tianning had encountered the aftermath of the Straw Man Law in the Xuanhuang World, and it was Zhao Xing who solved the trouble of the Evolution God Decision.

After entering the cosmic territory, Liu Tianning still liked to study various Straw Man Laws.

To avoid repeating the same mistakes, he also attached great importance to mental cultivation, even placing it in the first place of cultivation.

"The heart lake is like a bright mirror; if the heart ripples, you can quickly detect that you are being attacked." Liu Tianning looked directly at the Thousand Phantom Tree, unruffled.

"Mirror Heart Lake is already perfect, but how should I master the Great Divine Ability Mental Mother River?"

"The Thousand Phantom Tree at Zhao Xing's place seems different from this one."

Liu Tianning pondered, and a moment later he decided to let go of the protection and actively welcome the attack of the Thousand Phantom Tree.

The heart lake rippled, and heavy illusions immediately appeared in Liu Tianning's eyes.

His consciousness walked clearly on the heart lake, and every step he took, ripples were generated under his feet.

Liu Tianning observed and comprehended at the same time.

As time passed, the floating platform gradually approached the Thousand Phantom Tree. The difficulty of the assessment gradually increased, and the number of eliminations increased rapidly.

Beihe World Star, 82451 floating platform.

Xia Jing's face was bitter.

He wiped his eyes and found that what he saw was no longer the Thousand Phantom Tree, but a giant fish beast appearing in front of him.

The big fish opened its bloody mouth, its teeth like sharp serrations, spraying corrosive mucus.

Xia Jing seemed to be able to smell the strong fishy smell.

"Damn! I haven't been afraid of eating fish for a long time, why do such illusions keep appearing." Xia Jing cursed, firming his confidence.

Time passed, and after the assessment started, a year and nine months passed quickly.

"Boom~"

Please... you.... collect 6... ... ook.... ar....!

Zhao Xing opened his eyes and looked at the stone stele beside him.

【Remaining number of people: 2, 50, 45.】

"Only two million people left."

"Now the mental impact intensity of the Thousand Phantom Tree is already very high."

Before this, Zhao Xing didn't have to use the "Killing Thought Blade" to resist at all.

Relying solely on his own "mental resilience," he could keep his consciousness clear.

But now, he had to start using willpower divine abilities to suppress the distracting thoughts that kept rising in his heart.

Otherwise, these distracting thoughts would drive him to actively exit the light gate, which would mean elimination.

"Kill kill kill!"

Zhao Xing's eyes glowed red, and he began to suppress the distracting thoughts in his heart with killing intent.

Soon, no more thoughts of quitting arose in his heart.

"One year and nine months, I don't know how many people are left in the Great Zhou." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Beihe World Star, there is a Beihe King Mansion in the central area.

In a magnificent hall of the mansion, Beihe King Yang Lin was watching a huge water mirror in the hall.

As a star system lord appointed by the Imperial Emperor, Beihe King is in the Reincarnation Realm and has had the experience of fifty-six reincarnation trials.

However, even such a strong person was very respectful to the two figures in the hall.

One is the "Primordial Envoy" Zuo Qiyu of the Primordial World, a Reincarnation Realm Self-Nature School Agricultural Minister.

The other figure is a silver mechanical puppet, the differentiated body of the Great Evolution Divine Weapon, "Chen Jiu."

The main body of the Great Evolution Divine Weapon is a mechanical divine object, and its differentiated bodies are classified according to the twelve earthly branches, with different functions.

The mechanical puppet Chen Jiu completely possesses the strength of an Emperor-level expert, so it is also called "Emperor Chen Jiu."

These two are the "chief examiners" sent by the Empire to be responsible for the assessment of the Beihe Star System.

"Almost there." Emperor Chen Jiu said: "Beihe King, move the space inside the world."

"Yes." Beihe King nodded and immediately began to cooperate.

"Envoy Zuo, please raise the power of the Thousand Phantom Tree to the early stage of the Five Elements Dao Domain Realm." Chen Jiu looked at the Primordial Envoy "Zuo Qiyu" again.

The latter wore a white magic robe, embroidered with all kinds of plants, and there was a demonic and strange aura on his face.

Facing Emperor Chen Jiu, he just gave a light hmm.

"Okay." Chen Jiu said, "Next, we will eliminate until only 50, 00 people are left."

At the beginning of the third year after the assessment started, the power of the Thousand Phantom Tree began to increase.

All floating platforms approached within a range of five thousand miles, and then it launched the second innate Great Divine Ability 【Tree Heart Puppet】.

Zhao Xing was originally sitting cross-legged, but at this moment his legs were out of control, as if he wanted to stand up.

"Hmm?"

Zhao Xing immediately pressed his feet with his hands, and the red light in his eyes became more intense.

His legs soon stopped shaking.

"Tree Heart Puppet launched."

"The form of mental attack has changed."

"The first year was Thousand Phantom Eye, a pure mental impact."

"The second year, Thousand Phantom Eye, began to trigger various illusions, activating various emotions of people."

"The first two years were aimed at consciousness itself, but now it has begun to affect the body, and it has penetrated to the level of 'life instinct'."

Zhao Xing took a deep breath and further strengthened the Killing Thought Blade, but his legs were still shaking.

At this time, his legs seemed to have their own ideas, and every inch of muscle wanted to escape from here.

"Mental interference with reality, this is affecting the life Dao through the mental Dao." Zhao Xing thought to himself. "Using this move, the assessment should be in the last year."

The closer it was to the end, the stronger the attack emitted by the Thousand Phantom Tree.

Originally, Zhao Xing only needed to guard his mind, but now the Thousand Phantom Tree bypassed him and directly affected his body.

"This seems like the combat instinct of a martial artist, crisis warning; sometimes you haven't seen the enemy, but the body has already made a reaction first."

Zhao Xing's intention immediately began to strengthen the control of the legs, suppressing the sudden "survival instinct."

And on the other side, Xia Jing suddenly flashed, his legs bounced, and he jumped backward fiercely.

In an instant, he jumped over the light gate and appeared in the outside world.

"Damn. Why did I come out."

At the same time, in the seventy-two entrances in the sky, a large number of practitioners appeared.

"Sigh, still couldn't resist."

"Can't help it."

"Mental Dao affects life Dao? It seems that my cultivation in Ten Thousand Heart Island is not enough."

"Only over 800, 00 people left, still didn't persist, but with this ranking, I can also be used as a stepping stone for other forces."

"Sigh, there is no next chance. Next time my age will not meet the requirements."

A large number of practitioners sighed.

At this time, the place where the Great Zhou contestants were staying also welcomed a batch of new eliminated people.

"Your Majesty, of our 312 people, only five are left inside. They are Grand Minister of Agriculture Zhao Xing, Grand Marshal Luo Hou Wang, Agricultural Minister Minister Liu Tianning, Agricultural Minister Minister Chen Shijie, and Eight-Dance Master Ji Mengjun."

Ji Che was on the other side of the Star Mirror, wearing strange clothes, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Five is very good. Lu Ying, how were you eliminated?"

Lu Ying said embarrassedly:

"Your Majesty, I performed Void Soldier Formation, summoned eight hundred mechanical puppets to watch over myself, but just now... these eight hundred mechanical puppets carried me out."

"Clearly, I gave the wrong command unintentionally."

"Hahahaha." Ji Che laughed: "I was just thinking, can I trap myself there to pass? It seems that such a method doesn't work either."

To pass, the methods used by the contestants can be described as varied.

However, any method, in the final analysis, is led by people.

Without extra treasure assistance, people cannot trap themselves to death.

Knocking yourself out is even worse; if you can't keep clear, you will be eliminated anyway.

"Lu Ying, don't be discouraged. What rank were you eliminated in?"

Lu Ying replied: "The Star Mirror shows that I was the 1, 60, 00th to be eliminated."

"Such a ranking is already very good. If you can't enter the Primordial World, you can enter the 'Profound Machine Hall'." Ji Che comforted. "... lright, Ji Si and I have important matters to attend to, report to me when the first round results come out."

"Yes."

In the beginning of the third year after the assessment started, October.

Zhao Xing was only a thousand miles away from the Thousand Phantom Tree.

"Boom!"

Zhao Xing's left hand suddenly gave his cheek a punch.

His right foot kicked his left foot.

"Boom!"

Zhao Xing fell to the ground.

At this time, the attack intensity of the Thousand Phantom Tree was already high to an outrageous degree.

Every cell in Zhao Xing's body was almost shouting to run away.

The Killing Thought Blade was pushed to the limit, influencing each other with the Thousand Phantom Tree, and Zhao Xing even wanted to kill himself.

"Ding!"

In Zhao Xing's mind, a three-dimensional clock appeared.

The pointer pointed to the Zi hour.

The killing intent dropped slightly, and consciousness returned to clarity.

"My name is Zhao Xing, I am accepting the first round of assessment of the Primordial World, now it is the end of the third year since the assessment started."

Consciousness corrected, Zhao Xing took a deep breath and quickly controlled his body.

He glanced at the stone stele.

【Remaining number of people: 14, 21】

The number froze and the stone stele turned gray.

"Buzz~"

In an instant, all abnormal feelings dissipated.

After experiencing the last wave of high-intensity attacks.

The assessment of the first pass of the Primordial World finally ended.

"Congratulations, Zhao Xing of Fengdu World Star, Wuye Constellation, you have passed the first round of screening of the Primordial World."

In the crystal ball on the light gate, Chen Jiu's voice sounded.

He sent the pass information to 14, 21 people at the same time.

"Passed."

Zhao Xing felt relieved.

This last wave of peak attacks really made him uncomfortable.

Although it hadn't reached the limit yet, if he continued to endure, he probably wouldn't be able to last too long.

"After the first round ends, you have 97 years to prepare."

"In the last three years, you need to leave time to set off from Beihe World Star to the twenty-eight top-tier star systems to participate in the second round of assessment."

"Good luck."

After Zhao Xing finished listening, he was rejected by a huge force.

Whoosh~

The next moment, he appeared above Beihe World Star.

"I don't know if anyone in the Great Zhou passed." Zhao Xing scanned the surroundings.

Because the range of the top-tier world star is very large, Zhao Xing could not see the 14, 21 people who passed.

Swish~

Zhao Xing rushed to the place where he stayed three years ago.

"The first round of assessment of the Primordial World ended." Beihe King's voice echoed throughout Beihe World Star. "Beihe Star System, a total of 14, 21 people passed the first pass."

Roar~ The various forces on the world star suddenly boiled over.

"Finally over!"

"Quick, go see the public list, see if there are any rogue cultivators."

"People of the Profound Machine Hall, listen to the order, immediately go to find the mechanical masters who passed, and dig people with heavy money! Whoever can persuade one person will be rewarded with 10 billion Red Star Coins."

"I am 'Blue Moon', the person in charge of the Green Field Chamber of Commerce, immediately collect the list, inquire about the news, and if any of these 14, 21 people are doing business, invest immediately."

"Hahaha, my son Atlantis passed, reward, all citizens will be issued 1, 00 Red Star Coins!"

"..."

The first pass assessment of the Primordial World ended, and those 14, 21 people immediately became the focus of everyone.

Standing out from over 700 billion people, they will definitely have a bright future.

Those who want to invest, those who want to dig walls, are all dispatched one after another at this time.

The Great Zhou side was also waiting anxiously.

The time for the last wave of eliminated people and those who passed to come out was about the same, and now they didn't know how many of the five people from the Great Zhou passed and how many were eliminated.

The list would be announced in a while, and they were really looking forward to it.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

Soon, Zhao Xing, Luo Hou Wang, Chen Shijie, Liu Tianning, and Ji Mengjun all appeared in the temporary rented manor of the Great Zhou.

"Here! They are out!"

The high officials of the Great Zhou, who had been waiting impatiently, immediately greeted them.

The five Zhao Xing also arrived at the manor at about the same time.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, Grand Marshal... how are you?" Lu Ying asked with eager eyes.

Zhao Xing smiled: "I passed."

Liu Tianning said calmly: "Fluked through."

Ji Mengjun shook his head: "I was the one who fluked, I was only three steps away from the exit... if it were a little later, I would have been eliminated."

"I was only one step away from elimination." Luo Hou Wang said with lingering fear. "Before my consciousness fainted, I had already fallen on the door frame of the teleportation gate, but the artifact spirit of the Great Evolution Divine Weapon also judged that I passed."

Chen Shijie spoke last, he said with some regret: "Ashamed, I didn't resist the last wave of attacks."

Five in, four out! Four people from the Great Zhou passed!

Joyful cheers erupted in the crowd.

Everyone was cheering and celebrating, Zhao Xing patted Old Chen on the shoulder: "It's already very good, there is another chance, at worst come back in three thousand years."

"Hmm." Chen Shijie was still unhappy.

"By the way, Old Chen, what rank does the Star Mirror show?"

If you pass, there will be no ranking.

Only elimination will show what number you were eliminated in.

"When I was eliminated, there were only 16, 45 people left." Chen Shijie said.

Zhao Xing was speechless, no wonder Old Chen was so regretful.

16, 45, already extremely close to the passing level.

In the last wave of attacks, if Chen Shijie had persisted for even half a second longer, he might have entered.

It's a pity, it's just that little bit.

It can't even be said that it's a problem of Old Chen's strength; if the luck was slightly better, for example, if the Primordial World wanted a thousand more people, Old Chen could have entered.

Zhao Xing didn't know what to say, so he could only pat Old Chen on the shoulder, then he changed the subject and looked at Liu Tianning: "Master, how far were you from the light gate?"

Liu said he fluked, but with Zhao Xing's understanding of Liu Tianning, he was probably being a bit modest.

"In the last wave of attacks, I actually didn't move much." Liu Tianning smiled.

"Didn't move much?" Zhao Xing was stunned, then asked via voice transmission: "Master, your Mirror Heart Lake divine ability, could it be perfect?"

Mirror Heart Lake divine ability is different from Killing Thought Blade; Liu Tianning's divine ability is more defensive. Killing Thought Blade is more offensive, so Zhao Xing spent effort to buy another "Mental Bell."

Liu said: "I was actually already perfect in the small divine ability, and the reason why I didn't move this time was mainly because I had a touch of the Great Divine Ability 'Mental Mother River'."

"What?" Zhao Xing's face was a bit strange, "Master, did you... remember anything else? For example, some strange scenes and people."

Liu Tianning was stunned: "No, why?"

"Nothing, just asking."

It is rare for Liu Tianning to have a touch of the Great Divine Ability method.

But this also has to do with him specializing in the Self-Nature path since entering the cosmic version.

Instead, it was Zhao Xing, who had been carrying a heavy burden, although he finally had the benefits promised by Green Elm Child and the gifts of Wu Tian. But it also delayed a lot of cultivation time, and what he learned was very complex. In some aspects, he was surpassed by Old Liu.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture." While chatting, Grand Minister of Works Lu Ying suddenly said: "Many people suddenly came outside the manor, saying they wanted to see you, the Grand Marshal, Master Liu, and Master Ji."

"Who are they?" Luo Hou Wang asked.

Lu Ying looked at the Star Mirror. This place was rented by him, and he also connected to the formation of this manor.

"Many, there are well-known large chambers of commerce in the Beihe Star System, Ten Thousand Heart Island, Hunyuan Martial Arts Hall... even including people sent by the Beihe Lord."

Zhao Xing smiled: "It's nothing more than lobbyists digging walls, speculative merchants, but these people are not people we can refuse. At least we have to give face now."

"Lu Ying, you arrange it, invite them in one by one according to the weight of the guests."

"Yes." Lu Ying nodded.

Then Zhao Xing exchanged opinions with Luo Hou Wang, Liu Tianning, and Ji Mengjun.

"If it's a gift from a small force, don't accept it. The Great Zhou national treasury now has a lot of money, no need to add a karma because of a little money."

"You can look at the ones digging walls, don't easily agree to contracts with deep ties."

"Beihe King's gifts can be accepted. We are also citizens under his command. This is a simple reward. With him covering everyone, no need to worry about offending people by refusing..."

Zhao Xing talked about some personal experience, and then the four of them acted separately.

Zhao Xing let Luo Hou Wang, Liu Tianning, and Ji Mengjun boldly accept gifts, but he himself did not intend to accept more.

Except for the gifts sent by Beihe King Yang Lin, he politely declined everyone else.

Master Zhao's vision was very high, so he could accept Beihe King's gifts; after all, the Great Zhou was making a living in the Beihe Star System. Other forces didn't matter, and he didn't lack this little money.

As for those digging people, they were all refused. Except for the Primordial World, Zhao Xing did not have a second choice.

Doing so was nothing more than leaving an arrogant impression on the lobbyists, not to the point of offending people. It was just giving gifts to form good karma, and there was no situation of hard climbing karma.

"Junior thanks Beihe King for his care, you go slowly." Zhao Xing sent away the messenger who delivered the gift, then closed the door and stopped receiving guests.

Turning to take out the Star Mirror to contact Jing Yan and Yu Tianqing to ask about the situation.

"I passed." Yu Tianqing said concisely.

"I fluked through." Jing Yan rejoiced. "Almost eliminated."

"How many people passed in the Beiye Star System?" Zhao Xing asked.

"720, 00 people." Jing Yan said.

"Beiye Star System is a good place." Zhao Xing said.

"The first pass is so difficult." Jing Yan said, "I don't know what the second pass will be like." 【423】 He was originally full of confidence, but now he had no confidence at all.

He had originally been full of confidence, but now he didn't have a shred of certainty left.

"Old Yu, do you think the first pass is difficult?" Jing Yan asked casually.

"Difficult, right."

"Yo, you are still pretending, this still needs a question mark?" Jing Yan despised it.

Only Zhao Xing felt that Yu Tianqing was relatively restrained.

In front of the Eye of Breaking Delusion, the first pass was indeed as simple as drinking water for him.

Back then, Yu Tianqing could pass freely in the World of Transmission! Not affected at all.

Now that he had developed for a thousand years, the increase brought by the innate Great Divine Ability was stronger, the first pass for Yu, really not difficult.

"Alright, I'm going to prepare for closed-door cultivation." Jing Yan waved his hand: "Two, see you in 97 years."

"Brother Jing, Zhao Xing, I'm going too." Yu Tianqing said.

"See you in ninety-seven years." Zhao Xing nodded. The second round location will be held in the twenty-eight top-tier star systems of the Empire. The Beiye Star System is adjacent to the Beihe Star System, and Zhao Xing estimated that he could meet Jing Yan and Yu Tianqing in the second round.

"The second round of screening will divide professions and choose between combat and auxiliary zones." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"I choose the combat zone, the second pass assessment will pick many plant troop types for battle."

"My plan for the next hundred years must change. Aiming to improve combat power!"

"Three directions, one is 'Essence-Removing Divine Ability', two is 'Giant Yang Straw Man Law', three is Great Divine Ability 'Five-Finger Mountain'."

"If I can master the Great Divine Ability Five-Finger Mountain, then I will have a trump card."

"Essence-Removing Divine Ability can also exert miraculous effects, with a certain probability of exploding super troop types."

"Giant Yang clone, as conventional combat power."

Set the plan, in the first year after the assessment ended, Zhao Xing rented a cultivation venue on Beihe World Star and started a 97-year cultivation.
