Chapter 172

Jian Gui Da Di looked toward Yu Xian Er, his eyes full of surprise, his voice tinged with a hint of astonishment.

Is it you who wants to undertake the Five Emperors Ultimate Assessment?

Yu Xian Er's expression remained calm; she looked at Jian Gui Da Di and gave a slight nod, then replied firmly: "Exactly."

Jian Gui Da Di, hearing this, slightly narrowed his eyes, a hint of complex light flashing in his pupils.

It seemed like he was investigating, yet also seemed like he was doubting.

Immediately, he slowly said: "You, a maid's daughter, just want to gain legitimacy by this method? You just want to gain the Imperial Clan's recognition through this?"

Yu Xian Er's background and experiences were no secret within the Imperial Clan; Jian Gui Da Di naturally had also heard of them.

As for her insistence on undertaking the Five Emperors Ultimate Assessment, Jian Gui Da Di saw through her purpose at a glance.

Yu Xian Er, seeing her purpose exposed, was not flustered; her expression was candid, and she openly admitted.

"Exactly."

Upon hearing this, Jian Gui Da Di stared intently at Yu Xian Er, his gaze like a torch, as if trying to see through her.

The two thus locked eyes for a few seconds.

Only then did Jian Gui Da Di slowly say: "Then show your strength, and let me acknowledge it."

Immediately after.

He placed his hands behind his back and began to speak at length: "The Five Emperors of my Imperial Clan each have their inheritance and talent."

"I cultivate the Dao through the sword, possessing the Devouring Bloodline."

"The Undying Great Emperor cultivates the Dao through the battle body, possessing the Undying Bloodline."

"The Azure King Great Emperor cultivates the Dao through dragon blood, possessing the Supreme Dragon King Bloodline."

"The Eternal Great Emperor cultivates the Dao through the Human Emperor's Dao, possessing the Human Emperor Bloodline."

"The Azure Peak War Emperor cultivates the Dao through literature, possessing the Vastly Noble Blood."

"If you want to prove yourself, if you want the Imperial Clan to recognize you, then try: see how many gates of the Ultimate Assessment you can pass."

"I lay down these words here: if you can break through the Three Gates Ultimate Assessment, I, Jian Gui Da Di, will support you in the Imperial Clan from now on."

As a Great Emperor of the Imperial Clan, Jian Gui Da Di inherently has his own measure; he does not care about those complicated backgrounds and family origins.

In his view, a clan's inheritance and development rely on those who truly have strength and potential.

If Yu Xian Er truly has the ability to pass the Three Gates Ultimate Assessment, then she indeed qualifies to become the heir of the Imperial Clan.

Precisely for this reason, he is willing to give Yu Xian Er such an opportunity.

Yu Xian Er, hearing these words from Jian Gui Da Di, was greatly shocked in her heart.

From childhood, due to her identity as a maid's daughter, she suffered constant exclusion and cold looks within the Imperial Clan.

She never imagined that one day, an Imperial Clan Great Emperor would be willing to give her such an opportunity to change her fate.

This sudden trust and opportunity stirred a strong fighting spirit in her heart.

She slightly bowed, respectfully saying to Jian Gui Da Di: "Xian Er will surely exert her utmost effort."

Jian Gui Da Di nodded, his expression gaining a hint of anticipation as he said: "Begin."

Yu Xian Er took a deep breath, likewise nodding to indicate readiness.

At the same moment, as he was mobilizing his inner spiritual power, preparing to fully face this assessment,

suddenly she felt a cool current at the point between her eyebrows, like a mountain spring, quietly entering her brow.

Once this pure current entered her body, something wonderful happened.

Yu Xian Er faintly sensed that five utterly different bloodline forces within her began to stir.

They surged and collided in her meridians, as if waiting to be awakened, to be provoked.

That feeling was as if she were about to comprehend these five powerful bloodline forces.

Yu Xian Er was full of doubt; for a moment she felt at a loss, secretly marveling: "What is going on?"

Meanwhile.

Outside the Green Sword, Lin Yang watched the Green Sword's light tremble slightly, a relieved smile appearing on his face.

He softly said to the air: "System, it's still you."

The words had just fallen.

Lin Yang's ears then rang with the system's mechanical yet slightly playful alert tone.

【The system is not an emotionless system either; for disciples who meet the talent attribute clause standards, the system will still give them a backdoor.】

Lin Yang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He quickly nodded in response: "That's right, that's right."

As it turned out, just moments ago, Lin Yang, through the system, bestowed upon Yu Xian Er the Tenfold Comprehension Ability.

With such heaven-defying comprehension ability granted, Yu Xian Er thus possessed absolute instant enlightenment ability, capable of comprehending her latent bloodline powers at a speed beyond ordinary imagination.

Thus, as long as her Five Emperors Bloodline within is activated, she can pass these five layers of the Ultimate Assessment.

This is the deep love of Lin Yang, this teacher, for his disciple.

Although Yu Xian Er was quite doubtful about this feeling, he also did not think too much about it.

Because she had thought about it, but came up with nothing.

Since we can't make sense of the situation right now, let's just steadfastly charge through the gate.

Immediately, she stepped into the assessment area of the Sword Ghost Great Emperor.

Upon entering, one sees the Sword Ghost's body surrounded by crisscrossing sword qi, like sharp blades, freely cutting the air.

It actually emitted a sizzling sound.

Made this space extremely terrifying and horrifying.

The Sword Ghost Great Emperor's gaze was like a blade, shooting straight toward Yu Xian'er, his voice like a great bell as he said: "This is my sword domain; entering it means facing three trials."

Endless sword qi storm will come from all directions to strangle and kill, tearing your body apart.

Sword qi phantoms will take my form, attacking with fierce swordsmanship, each move hiding a killing technique.

When your spiritual power is depleted to a certain extent, the sword domain's sword qi will frenziedly surge into your meridians, attempting to devour your spiritual power and soul.

If you cannot resist, you will be devoured by the sword qi, your soul scattered!

Yu Xian'er had just entered the sword domain when a sky-filling sword qi surged forward.

Like a surging tide, it sought to completely submerge her.

She hastily retreated, but found her retreat blocked by sword qi, all around were deadly threats.

Those sword qi seemed like living things, gathering in the air into ferocious sword shadows, stabbing at her with extreme speed.

Yu Xian'er immediately circulated her spiritual power to block, but each collision caused her arms excruciating pain.

As if pierced by countless steel needles, her spiritual power was also rapidly depleting.

However, this assessment was also extremely important for Yu Xian'er; she needed to prove herself to those who doubted her.

Thus, she struggled to endure.

As time passed, Yu Xian'er's movements gradually slowed, and she acquired several wounds on her body.

Blood seeped out, staining her clothes red.

Sword Ghost Emperor truly deserves the title of Emperor; his strength is indeed incredibly formidable.

Facing the terrifying pressure before her, Yu Xian'er gritted her teeth and said, "Could it be that I must stop here?"

A flash of despair crossed her mind.

Just as she was about to be unable to hold on, the tenfold insight ability granted by Lin Yang took effect instantly.

She closed her eyes, focused, and felt that mysterious power merging with her.

She strangely sensed that within her body lay the Sword Ghost Emperor's devouring bloodline ability awakening.

She tried to mobilize the power, and surprisingly could draw the sword qi to her own use.
