Chapter 122: The Immortal Palace Assessment Begins

"The Great Wilderness Immortal Palace Assessment opens once every thousand years."

"Every time it opens, it draws countless prodigies from the Nine Realms and Ten Thousand Domains to gather in a frenzy."

"In this assessment, millions of prodigies will enter the same Secret Realm, erupting into the most direct clashes, all to compete for those limited spots in the Immortal Palace."

"On the path of cultivation, talent is indeed important, but resources are equally indispensable."

"The Northern Territory is resource-deprived, and for a thousand years, no one has managed to break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage."

"If you remain in the Hehuan Sect, the Nascent Soul Stage may be your limit in the future."

"But the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace is different; it possesses the richest resources in this world. If you can enter it, your future will hold infinite possibilities!"

Hearing Dong Yue's description, Wang Jianqiang could not help but picture a magnificent scene in his mind.

Immediately following this, he frowned, "Such a grand assessment, it can't be without restrictions, right?"

"I only have a Five-Element Spiritual Root, am I even qualified to participate?"

His Spirit Root had been upgraded once, and his true cultivation speed was already no weaker than a Four-Element Spiritual Root.

However, on the surface, it still appeared to be only a Five-Element Spiritual Root.

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Dong Yue smiled, "The participation standard for the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace Assessment is under one hundred years of age; normally speaking, you are indeed overage."

"However, the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace recruits a portion of Specialized Cultivators for every assessment."

"For Specialized Cultivators, the age limit is relaxed to one hundred and fifty years; you can participate as a Specialized Cultivator."

"Among the four spots for our Hehuan Sect, there happens to be one special spot."

"Although your Root Bone is lacking, with your talent in Alchemy and artifact refining, you have every opportunity to vie for an Immortal Palace spot."

"And compared to regular spots, the competition for specialized spots does not require fighting and killing, making it safer."

Hearing Dong Yue's words, Wang Jianqiang's heart stirred.

Dong Yue was right.

On the path of cultivation, resources are indeed very important.

Although he possessed a system.

It could not directly increase his cultivation base, so his demand for resources was not only not smaller than a normal person's, but even greater.

It seems he really must make a trip to this Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

Thinking of this, Wang Jianqiang made up his mind.

Afterward, the two chatted for a while longer.

Wang Jianqiang learned from Dong Yue the ownership of the other three spots.

They were Su Yutong, Mu Lingxi, and Wang Yu Yao, respectively.

Su Yutong was a famous prodigy when she was in the Outer Sect, and Mu Lingxi possessed Heavenly Spirit Root aptitude, only having a slow cultivation speed because she practiced the Three Lives Body.

It was entirely reasonable for these two to obtain spots.

Although Wang Yu Yao's Root Bone had already been upgraded by him to a level comparable to a Heavenly Spirit Root.

On the surface, she was still only a Three-Element Spiritual Root.

That she could be selected was somewhat surprising to Wang Jianqiang.

He could not help but ask about it.

Only then did he learn that because of his relationship, Dong Yue had specially given Wang Yu Yao preferential treatment.

After Dong Yue left, Wang Jianqiang held a Spirit Token and fell into deep thought while looking at it in his hand.

This Spirit Token was given to him by Dong Yue before she left.

It was the qualification token for the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace Assessment.

When the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace Assessment begins, the token will automatically open a teleportation channel for participants to enter the Assessment Secret Realm.

This token of his was different from ordinary assessment tokens; it was a token exclusive to Specialized Cultivators.

Participating in the assessment as a Specialized Cultivator was not very dangerous.

But it was different for Mu Lingxi, Wang Yu Yao, and Su Yutong.

The Great Wilderness Immortal Palace Assessment gathered millions of prodigies from the Nine Realms and Ten Thousand Domains; the competition was unimaginably intense.

Countless people would inevitably perish in this assessment.

There were three months left until the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace Assessment; before then, he had to increase the strength of the three of them as much as possible to boost their survival capabilities.

Moreover, if the strength of Wang Yu Yao and Mu Lingxi could be improved, he would also benefit.

As for Su Yutong, he could also farm favorability and increase his Good and Evil Value.

It could be called killing two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, he immediately began his seclusion.

He spent half a month refining a batch of Perfect Mysterious Origin Pills and Jade Spirit Pills.

Afterward, he temporarily ended his seclusion and sent messages to Mu Lingxi, Wang Yu Yao, and Su Yutong.

"Senior Brother Wang."

"Senior Brother Wang."

"Uncle Wang."

Not long after, the three arrived.

Wang Jianqiang did not waste words and directly distributed the Perfect Mysterious Origin Pills to Mu Lingxi and Su Yutong.

As for the Perfect Jade Spirit Pills, those were for Golden Core Stage cultivators to increase their cultivation; the two of them had no use for them for the time being.

And since the materials for refining Third-tier Pills were limited, the quantity of Jade Spirit Pills refined this time was not large, so he only gave them to Wang Yu Yao.

The three of them all happily put away the Pill.

Afterwards, Wang Jianqiang did not let the three of them leave.

Eighteen hours later.

Wiping sweat from his brow, Wang Jianqiang walked with somewhat unsteady steps as he sent the three of them out of the small courtyard.

After returning to the Pavilion, he rested briefly and continued his closed-door cultivation.

For the time being, he prepared to refine Spirit Tools and accumulate Attribute Points with all his might.

One and a half months later.

"Ding, Su Yutong's Good and Evil Value has reached the maximum, the Attribute Panel can be solidified."

"Solidify?"

The system notification sound that suddenly came from his mind made Wang Jianqiang's eyes light up.

"Solidify."

He moved his mind.

"Ding, Su Yutong's Attribute Panel has been successfully solidified."

"Divine Ability Point +1, Golden Attribute Point +1, Silver Attribute Point +1."

"Obtained one chance to draw a Talent Divine Ability."

Hearing the system's reward notification, Wang Jianqiang's consciousness entered his Soul Sea.

Inside the Soul Sea, following Wang Yu Yao, Dong Yue, and Mu Yutong, a fourth silver Attribute Panel condensed and emerged.

He looked at Su Yutong's Attribute Panel; her cultivation had indeed reached the Golden Core Initial Stage.

It was a pity that, seemingly because her cultivation broke through before her Good and Evil Value reached the maximum, Wang Jianqiang did not receive her breakthrough reward.

This made him feel somewhat regretful.

He thought for a moment, took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, and sent a message to Su Yutong.

Upon receiving the message from Wang Jianqiang, Su Yutong, who had just broken through, did not even bother to stabilize her cultivation before hurrying over.

"Uncle Wang, do you have something to see me about?"

Seeing Wang Jianqiang, Su Yutong immediately said respectfully.

Wang Jianqiang looked at Su Yutong with a kind face, "Yutong, do you want to improve your Root Bone?"

"You can help me improve my Root Bone?" Su Yutong was pleasantly surprised upon hearing this.

Wang Jianqiang nodded with a smile, "Come with Uncle."

……

Six hours later.

Wang Jianqiang walked out with a calm expression on his face.

Behind him, although Su Yutong looked haggard, she could not hide her joy.

Although she was still a Double Spirit Roots user, she could feel that her perception of the Spirit Qi of heaven and earth had become clearer.

Her Spirit Root had truly been improved!

"Thank you, Uncle Wang."

After thanking Wang Jianqiang, she left happily.

……

Time flew by, and another half a month passed.

On this day.

After finishing a round of artifact refining, Wang Jianqiang was meditating to recover when a Spirit Token at his waist suddenly flew up and merged into mid-air.

The next moment, the surrounding space suddenly twisted, transforming into a pitch-black Space Entrance.

Sensing this sudden change.

Wang Jianqiang opened his eyes, a flash of brilliance shining within them.

"Has the assessment for the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace finally begun?"
