Chapter 681: Law Heavenly Road (Seeking Double Monthly Tickets)
Dongxuan Star Realm, Bixuan True Person Prince Manor.
The actual ruler of the Bixuan Prince Manor, Crown Prince Lu Changyan, said nothing in the study, but the six house ministers kneeling in the study were all touching their heads to the ground, not daring to move at all.
The atmosphere was almost stagnant for a time!
Pa!
Bixuan Crown Prince Lu Changyan smashed the investigation results submitted by the six house ministers directly onto their foreheads, smashing the jade slip to pieces, but those six house ministers did not dare to move.
Even though the cultivation of three of the house ministers was already Tenth Tier Small Tianyang Xingjun.
They still did not dare to move.
"Three days!
And you only came up with this result for me?
Huang'er died in a siege by Gu beasts?
His subordinates also all died in battle?
Am I stupid?
Or do you think I am easy to fool?" Lu Changyan scolded angrily.
In this vanguard selection, it was a sure thing for his direct son Lu Huang to become a Candidate Daoist.
But he didn't expect that the person would just be gone.
The most infuriating thing was that after investigating for three days, no results had been investigated at all.
Especially with the Gu Mother's Dragon Bone Flute, it was absolutely impossible for him to be harmed by Gu beasts.
"Your Highness, actually, I also found another piece of news, but there is no evidence, and the target of suspicion is also impossible to investigate," the house minister Zheng Yi, whose cultivation reached Tenth Tier Small Tianyang Xingjun, reported.
"Continue!"
"Your Highness, a vanguard selector who was eliminated said he had seen the Grandson Prince. At that time, the Grandson Prince already had three Ninth Tier experts by his side, and it didn't look like there was any danger, so he didn't dare to stay.
But not long after, he saw another group of people." Zheng Yi answered.
"Who?"
"The Prince of Yutang, Zhu Shizhen, the Prince of Yutang, Zhu Shizhen, who killed the Gu Mother and directly became a Daoist.
This person didn't recognize Zhu Shizhen, but when Zhu Shizhen was directly announced as a Daoist by the Dao Palace and projected to the four directions, he recognized him.
At that time, Zhu Shizhen should have been no more than a thousand miles away from our Grandson Prince," Zheng Yi said.
As soon as these words were spoken, the expression in Bixuan Crown Prince Lu Changyan's eyes changed instantly.
Some things were only known to him.
For example, the Gu Mother's Dragon Bone Flute, for example, letting Lu Huang find an opportunity to kill Zhu Shizhen so that they could plot the foundation of the Yutang True Person's manor.
Originally, he was suspicious of Zhu Shizhen, just not very firm.
But at this very moment, this one clue alone connected the whole thing.
"Investigate!"
"At all costs, investigate the mystery behind the Prince of Yutang, Zhu Shizhen, killing the Gu Mother this time for me," Lu Changyan instructed.
"What does the Crown Prince mean?"
"Just relying on that trash Zhu Shizhen, even if the Gu Mother stood there and let him hack for three days and three nights, he wouldn't be able to kill the Gu Mother.
In this, there must be an expert helping.
And in the Gu-raising domain, if Huang'er had already gathered at least three Ninth Tier subordinates by his side, then the people who could kill him were few and far between.
And this expert who helped the Prince of Yutang, Zhu Shizhen, kill the Gu Mother is the most suspicious.
Investigate!
Anyone who dares to cut off the bloodline of my Bixuan Prince Manor, I will surely exterminate their nine clans," Lu Changyan shouted.
"I obey the order."
Adults don't like to make choices; they want everything.
This was Xu Jin's first thought after finishing the Yin-Yang Soul-Slaughtering Blade and the Taixu Questioning Heart Platform, the two Divine Soul supernatural powers given by Emperor Fenghua.
One was invincible among the same tier, and the other had the possibility of saving one's life or even killing an enemy across a major realm.
Only after finishing reading the treasure materials and treasures needed to cultivate these two Divine Soul supernatural powers did Xu Jin feel a bit embarrassed.
Having everything when one has the ability is called the romance of an adult.
Having everything when one has no ability and all the treasure materials and treasures for cultivation depend on Master Emperor Fenghua is called thick-skinned at best.
At worst, it is shameless.
So Xu Jin finally decided to choose one to cultivate first.
Anyway, Emperor Fenghua had listed all the cultivation secret methods and the required treasure materials and treasures for Xu Jin.
When he had the opportunity in the future, and when he had collected enough treasure materials and treasures himself, he would cultivate the other one.
Or wait until he made his Master, Emperor Fenghua, proud or repaid him, and then ask for treasure materials and treasures openly; at that time, Xu Jin would be able to ask with a clear conscience.
Xu Jin had always felt that a good relationship, no matter what it was—monarch and subject, Master and disciple, or others—must be a two-way rush and two-way contribution.
Otherwise, it could not last long.
Besides, Divine Soul supernatural power cultivation took time, so he would cultivate one first.
Therefore, when Xu Jin arrived before the Xuandao Hall amidst the gathering bell of the Dongxuan Dao Palace, he had already made a decision.
Taixu Questioning Heart Platform!
Cultivate this one first.
This was Xu Jin's choice.
The reason was very simple.
The Yin-Yang Soul-Slaughtering Blade focused on Divine Soul killing, with powerful might, which could be considered the path of killing.
But in terms of functional positioning, it overlapped with Xu Jin's other star arts.
Not to mention the Five Element Star Arts, Xu Jin's currently strongest Seven-Kill Sword Art, Thunder Prison, including the ultimate killing move Star-Shattering, were all killing techniques with incomparable might.
The killing power of this Divine Soul supernatural power, the Yin-Yang Soul-Slaughtering Blade, might be stronger than these star art killing moves, but it was estimated to be very limited.
Master Emperor Fenghua had already said, invincible among the same tier.
This "same tier" might refer to future Tenth Tier Star Lords or even Eleventh Tier True Persons.
After all, most people who wanted to cultivate supernatural powers had to be at the Ninth Tier peak or Tenth Tier or above.
By comparison, this supernatural power, the Taixu Questioning Heart Platform, was more suitable for Xu Jin today.
Because after this Divine Soul supernatural power was cultivated, its might, especially its ability to save one's life, could penetrate the star arts Xu Jin had already learned.
In other words: this supernatural power, the Taixu Questioning Heart Platform, had a stronger life-saving ability in complex and dangerous situations.
"Brother-in-law!"
Zhu Shizhen suddenly appeared in front of Xu Jin, and the title "brother-in-law" made Xu Jin glare at him, after which the latter chuckled and said, "Guest, do you want to know the exam questions in advance?"
Xu Jin shifted his gaze. "This is also possible?"
"What's impossible about this!"
Another voice suddenly sounded behind Zhu Shizhen; it was a young man with natural curly hair and a tall figure, with a cultivation of late Ninth Tier. At this moment, he approached and stared at Xu Jin with burning eyes.
"So you are the one who helped Zhu Shizhen kill the Gu Mother? Let's get to know each other, Yuan family, Yuan Chengfa!"
"Xu Jin!"
Xu Jin bowed slightly, but frowned as he looked at Zhu Shizhen, his face showing slight displeasure.
He hadn't even stepped out of the courtyard door for these three days.
How did this Yuan Chengfa know about him? If Zhu Shizhen had leaked it, then Xu Jin would have to reconsider his relationship with the Yutang Prince Manor, or even change his plans.
"If the monarch is not secret, he loses his ministers; if the minister is not secret, he loses his life; if the matter is not secret, it leads to harm!"
A big mouth was absolutely unreliable.
Zhu Shizhen had a delicate mind, and the moment Xu Jin's face changed, he thought of something, so he turned around and shouted at Yuan Chengfa, "You curly-haired Yuan, I killed the Gu Mother myself, stop spreading rumors."
Hearing this, Yuan Chengfa smiled contemptuously, "You fat pig, with your little ability, can I not know? I know your house ministers and subordinates even better!
If you wanted to kill the Gu Mother, there must have been some power I didn't know about helping you.
Looking at it now, it can only be this Brother Xu!"
After speaking, Yuan Chengfa looked Xu Jin up and down, "Early Eighth Tier cultivation, if he was the main force in your killing of the Gu Mother, then this potential is a bit terrifying!
If there is an opportunity, I must spar with Brother Xu."
Seeing Yuan Chengfa say this, Zhu Shizhen breathed a sigh of relief first, and hurriedly sent a sound transmission to Xu Jin, "Benefactor, I have never said this to the outside world. Even my sister only mentioned it once, without going into detail. I absolutely couldn't have done such a foolish thing."
Zhu Shizhen was a superior, and he knew too well the consequences of being labeled a "big mouth" by his subordinates.
"Who is this Yuan Chengfa?" Xu Jin sent a sound transmission.
A few breaths later, Xu Jin finally understood.
Someone who could speak to Zhu Shizhen in such a tone naturally had an extraordinary status.
A direct descendant of the Yuanling True Person's manor, and also the number one genius of the Yuanling True Person's manor.
At the same time, he was also one of the strongest geniuses in this vanguard selection.
The kind who might win the championship.
"Brother Xu, the Daoist Grand Selection tests talent and strength. Even if you know the exam questions, it's useless!
The first round of the Daoist Grand Selection tests talent.
You should prepare well!
If you can pass the selection and become a Daoist, please give me your guidance then!"
After speaking, Yuan Chengfa bowed to Xu Jin and left, shaking his elegant curly hair.
After Yuan Chengfa left, Zhu Shizhen sent a sound transmission, "This curly-haired Yuan is extremely strong. You must be careful when you meet him in the Daoist Grand Selection.
It is said that this kid has the strength to kill the Gu Mother, but he doesn't have the ability to deal with the thousands of Gu beasts around the Gu Mother, which is why he didn't go."
Hearing this, Xu Jin nodded.
This was absolutely possible.
And the possibility was very high.
Xu Jin was no longer a stranger to the vanguard selection of the Dongxuan Star Realm.
The vanguard selection of the Dongxuan Star Realm was not something anyone could participate in.
It was participated in by genius cultivators from over a thousand small-world star domains under the jurisdiction of the Dongxuan Star Realm, five medium-world star domains, and the local Dongxuan Star Realm.
The most basic condition for participation was to possess the combat power to kill an enemy across at least one small realm.
But most participants possessed the combat power to kill an enemy across two small realms, and even across a major realm was not uncommon.
Yuan Chengfa was at the late Ninth Tier, so naturally, he had the possibility of killing the Gu Mother.
However, the situation when killing the Gu Mother was quite complex; the Gu Mother herself was extraordinary, and it was not something one could kill just by having that combat power.
"Meet? Does that mean there will be slaughter in the Daoist Grand Selection?" Xu Jin asked.
"Convention!"
Zhu Shizhen nodded, "The Daoist system of our Dongxuan Star Realm is now completely copied from the Yuan Shan Star Realm, which is number one in combat power in the Tongxuan Domain. In the Dao Palace, the Daoists' rankings are different, and their cultivation treatment is different.
With your strength as a guest, I think becoming a Daoist is a sure thing.
The key is the ranking!
Different rankings are worlds apart!
If possible, it is best for the guest to strive for a Daoist serial number.
The top hundred is the most basic, but the top ten Daoists can not only obtain the top-level resources in the Dongxuan Dao Palace but also comprehend the Dao rule inheritance left by Emperor Dongxuan back then.
In the entire Tongxuan Domain's five major star realms, only the top hundred Daoists in each star realm's Dao Palace have the opportunity to be selected for the Tongxuan Domain's Imperial Palace.
To come into contact with Emperor Dongxuan's Daoist inheritance!"
After speaking, as if afraid that Xu Jin wouldn't understand, Zhu Shizhen emphasized again, "Guest, the Dao rule inheritance of Emperor Dongxuan left in the Dao Palace within our Dongxuan Star Realm is the Dao rule inheritance left by Emperor Dongxuan after he attained the True Person Dao and before he broke through to become an Emperor.
And the Daoist inheritance in the Tongxuan Domain's Imperial Palace is the Daoist inheritance from two thousand years after Emperor Dongxuan became an Emperor until now.
They are worlds apart."
Speaking of this, Zhu Shizhen shook his head helplessly, "Guest, I know very well how much I weigh! Becoming a Daoist so early now is already thanks to the guest's help.
In the future, I only hope to obtain a Daoist serial number and have the opportunity to comprehend the Dao rule inheritance left by the Emperor.
There is hope for a Tianyang Xingjun in the future.
True Person..."
Suddenly, Zhu Shizhen changed his face, leaned in front of Xu Jin, and revealed an extremely flattering smile, "Guest, I am sincerely wanting you to be my brother-in-law!
In the future, if you have hope for a True Person, I, including my Yutang Prince Manor, will hold onto your thigh tightly. With your protection, I will work hard to have children and strive to produce another True Person within three or four generations!"
Xu Jin was stunned.
It felt like what Zhu Shizhen said was true.
But the problem was, Xu Jin also wanted to find a thigh to hold onto.
Having a Prince Manor, and then collecting beauties from all over the world, having children was just a byproduct...
Dang!
The bell rang again, and the moment everyone looked over, the figure of True Person Commander Tian Zhang, wreathed in starlight, had already appeared before the Xuandao Hall.
"The Daoist Grand Selection is about to begin. The first round is called the Law Heavenly Road, which is an elimination round. Those who do not meet the standard will be directly eliminated and cannot enter the second round," True Person Commander Tian Zhang's voice sounded.
Almost the moment True Person Commander Tian Zhang's voice sounded, eight points of starlight flew out from behind True Person Commander Tian Zhang, who was sitting cross-legged in the high sky. The starlight was brilliant, and in an instant, it turned into one Heavenly Road after another, spreading down from the high sky.
The color of each Heavenly Road was different.
At a glance, Xu Jin saw that these eight Heavenly Roads were Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, and Space, respectively.
Clearly, the power of time, even at the level of a True Person, had not been touched.
Or rather, it was not displayed.
Eight Heavenly Roads, each Heavenly Road vaguely reached the clouds, and the revealed ones were at least a hundred tiers.
"The rules for this Law Heavenly Road are as above. Ten breaths later, the Law Heavenly Road Grand Selection will officially begin."
In the sky, lines of brilliant starlight characters appeared.
There were not many words, but they made Xu Jin's gaze tremble repeatedly.
The rules were very simple.
What made Xu Jin's heart move was the reward for the Law Heavenly Road.
After just one glance, Xu Jin understood that his Master, Emperor Fenghua's direction for him was correct.
Here, regardless of whether he could get the Innate Fire Essence in the future, after comprehending for a period of time, he might be able to draw on the strengths of others.
Law Heavenly Road rules: Choose one Heavenly Road, and you must climb at least ten tiers to pass. Those who rank in the top ten in the number of tiers climbed on each Heavenly Road will receive rewards.
And the reward that attracted Xu Jin was the reward for the top three in the number of tiers climbed on each Heavenly Road.
Reward: The first place in the number of tiers climbed on each Heavenly Road will be rewarded with three Enlightenment Stones of the corresponding Heavenly Road attribute, the second place will be rewarded with two Enlightenment Stones of the corresponding Heavenly Road attribute, and the third place will be rewarded with one Enlightenment Stone!
This reward made Xu Jin directly look at the Space Law Heavenly Road and the Thunder Law Heavenly Road.
Now Xu Jin only had one question in his heart: Can one person enter two Heavenly Roads?
