~13 min read 2,522 words

"Guest, you are not the first person to ask this question." Facing Xu Jin's inquiry, the Prince of Yutang, Zhu Shizhen, laughed.

"Who was the first person to ask this question?

What was the result?" Xu Jin asked.

"Guest, the first person to ask this question was the peerless genius Jiang Yi, who killed the Gu Mother a hundred years ago.

The answer True Person Commander Tian Zhang gave was: If there is no prohibition, it can be done!" The Prince of Yutang, Zhu Shizhen, laughed.

Getting this answer, Xu Jin's eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately had a plan.

"However, after the glorious battle result of Jiang Yi taking the first place in four Law Heavenly Roads in one breath, the second place in two Law Heavenly Roads, and the top ten in one Law Heavenly Road, this Law Heavenly Road added supplementary rules.

First, the total time limit for the Law Heavenly Road was reduced from nine days to three days.

Second, each Law Heavenly Road can only be entered once; after exiting, the record can be kept, but one cannot enter again.

In a moment, when you step into the Heavenly Road, you will be prompted," the Prince of Yutang, Zhu Shizhen, said.

"Then, was the reward for that Jiang Yi issued normally?" Xu Jin asked; this question was very critical.

"It was issued normally."

Hearing this, Xu Jin had a clearer judgment on the personality of True Person Commander Tian Zhang, who was in charge of the assessment.

He could be considered a man of his word, relatively compliant with the rules.

It was to repair the rules later, rather than directly changing the current rules.

The safety margin under such a strong person was still very high.

It was very favorable for the implementation of Emperor Fenghua's bold idea.

"Prince, since the peerless genius Jiang Yi a hundred years ago, has anyone received multiple rewards?" Xu Jin asked.

"Yes, quite a few!

However, most received two rewards, and three was very rare. Since Jiang Yi, there have been no four rewards; after all, time is too limited."

Mentioning this, Zhu Shizhen became interested, "Guest, after stepping onto the Heavenly Road, I cannot choose for you, but if you want to get more rewards, it is best to avoid two directions."

"Which two?"

"The first direction is Fire. Our Emperor Dongxuan is famous for the Fire system Dao, and the cultivators of our Dongxuan Star Realm have extremely excellent Fire system talent.

Just the ones I know of, there are several, among whom the True Person Commander Tian Zhang Manor, the Yuanling True Person Manor, and the Bixuan True Person Manor all have geniuses who specialize in the Fire system, aiming to comprehend the inheritance left by Emperor Dongxuan, and even more so aiming to enter the Tongxuan Imperial Palace.

The second direction is Wood..."

The words of the Prince of Yutang, Zhu Shizhen, made Xu Jin frown slightly.

Fire system difficulty is the greatest?

Yet he must show something in the Fire system.

Because his and his Master Emperor Fenghua's goal was to obtain Emperor Dongxuan's Innate Fire Essence.

If he didn't show Fire system talent, that would absolutely not work.

Therefore, the Fire system must be contested!

With a thought, Xu Jin made a decision.

And it was during this exchange between Xu Jin and the Prince of Yutang, Zhu Shizhen, that tens of thousands of Candidate Daoists had already rushed into the Law Heavenly Road.

The Candidate Daoists of the Dongxuan Star Realm came from the Great World Dongxuan Star Realm, five medium-world star domains, and over a thousand small-world star domains, with a total number estimated to exceed thirty thousand.

However, most of their cultivation was at the late Eighth Tier or peak Eighth Tier.

Zhu Shizhen called it "rule utilization," but in Xu Jin's view, it was a bit like "carding a bug."

It was mainly because of the rules of the vanguard selection.

In the Gu-raising domain, the difficulty of obtaining ten Ninth Tier Gu Crystals and a hundred Ninth Tier Gu Crystals was vastly different.

And for cultivation below the Ninth Tier, as long as the substitute-death token was not lost, one could pass the vanguard selection and become a Candidate Daoist by obtaining ten Ninth Tier Gu Crystals.

While Ninth Tier experts needed a hundred.

So most Candidate Daoists were late Eighth Tier and peak Eighth Tier, and it was only rare to see an early Eighth Tier like Xu Jin.

Of course, there were many Ninth Tier ones.

But Ninth Tier geniuses, besides the Daoist identity, aimed more at the Daoist sequence ranking, for the sake of going further.

"Prince, I'm going!"

Xu Jin bowed to the Prince of Yutang, Zhu Shizhen, and the next instant, he turned into a starlight and stepped onto the Thunder Law Heavenly Road.

Since he could choose several Law Heavenly Roads, then Thunder and Space were must-haves.

The Thunder Law star on Xu Jin's practice arena, although close to the limit, had never transformed into a source star.

Now that there was an opportunity, Xu Jin wanted to give it a try.

He wanted to see if he could transform the Thunder Law star into a source star through this channel.

In that case, the might of his Thunder star arts, including Thunder Prison, could go a step further.

Just after stepping into the Law Heavenly Road, two rays of starlight appeared directly in front of Xu Jin.

They were the supplementary rules mentioned by the Prince of Yutang, Zhu Shizhen.

And the moment Xu Jin stepped onto the Thunder Law Heavenly Road, a starlight message was immediately transmitted back to the hands of the Bixuan Prince Manor's Crown Prince.

【Your Highness, latest discovery: the Prince of Yutang, Zhu Shizhen, has an extremely close relationship with an early Eighth Tier Candidate Daoist named Xu Jin. Rumors in the streets say that the Prince of Yutang, Zhu Shizhen, once called this person "brother-in-law," and this person has never appeared in our sight before.】

【Investigate.

Thoroughly investigate!

I want all the information on this Xu Jin!

All the information from childhood to adulthood, including information about his family.

Continue to watch the Prince of Yutang, Zhu Shizhen.】

【Subordinate obeys.】

Almost the moment Xu Jin stepped onto the Thunder Law Heavenly Road, the world changed suddenly.

A mountain-climbing path covered in lightning appeared before his eyes.

Because Xu Jin was at the first tier, looking up, the top was full of dense figures.

Further up, lightning rose out of thin air, and people had already fallen from the Law Heavenly Road.

They had been eliminated without even climbing ten tiers.

At the same instant, Xu Jin felt that he had lost contact with his Nine Heavens Thunder Duke Seal.

The Law Heavenly Road forbade external objects; the moment one stepped on it, all external objects would be shielded.

But Xu Jin's heart moved slightly; the Law star on his practice arena still had contact, and could even bless himself at any time.

This made a question appear in Xu Jin's heart: Was his practice arena an external object, or was it himself?

Or was it a more brilliant external object?

Before Xu Jin could think much, lightning light drifted under his feet.

But what surprised Xu Jin was that the lightning light drifting under his feet did not carry a single bit of star power; it was the purest kind of Thunder-system Heavenly Star Will.

Xu Jin was too familiar with this point. Back then in the Kunling Domain, Xu Jin had harvested a massive amount of various Heavenly Star Wills to forge his current practice arena.

Xu Jin's surprise immediately turned into disappointment.

This drifting Thunder-system Heavenly Star Will had an owner!

The owner behind it was also incomparably powerful.

The moment his divine sense touched it, it appeared like a mountain, impossible to collect.

At the same time, Xu Jin also understood the climbing requirement of the Law Heavenly Road.

Star power could not be used here; you could only use your Divine Soul power to urge the Thunder-system Dao rules you had comprehended.

Either resist to climb or assimilate to climb.

Resisting meant that you didn't know this Thunder-system Heavenly Star Will in front of you, but you had a Thunder-system Heavenly Star Will of the same level, so you could resist and climb up.

Assimilating to climb meant that you happened to have comprehended this Thunder-system Heavenly Star Will in front of you; as long as you urged it slightly, the two identical Thunder-system Heavenly Star Wills would assimilate, and you could climb up easily.

Therefore, this round only tested talent in Dao rules.

And Xu Jin had never seen the Thunder-system Heavenly Star Will that surged from the first tier of this Thunder Law Heavenly Road.

Xu Jin subconsciously wanted to urge the Thunder-system Heavenly Star Will he had comprehended to resist and climb.

The Thunder Law star on his practice arena represented Xu Jin's attainments in the Thunder system, although it had not transformed into a Great World source star, it was already close to the limit of a medium-world law star.

Resisting such a small Thunder-system Heavenly Star Will was easy for Xu Jin!

But just as Xu Jin urged the Thunder Law in his body and his left foot was raised, intending to step over, he suddenly froze.

His left foot was also suspended in mid-air.

"This Law Heavenly Road should have a third way to pass."

Xu Jin suddenly reacted.

The third way to pass was to comprehend and pass.

This Law Heavenly Road presented one Thunder-system Heavenly Star Will after another to all Candidate Daoists so straightforwardly and simply, which was a bit like an exam.

It listed the questions and the reasoning process for solving them for you.

If you could understand, you could naturally write out the answer for each step in order, and then write out the final answer.

This assessment of the Law Heavenly Road was similar to this.

In the myriad worlds, there were countless types of Dao rules, and the Great Dao was also endless.

But everyone's Great Dao length was composed of these countless Dao rules as a foundation.

Now, these Dao rules were within Xu Jin's reach!

The next instant, Xu Jin's raised left foot landed again on the first tier of the Thunder Law Heavenly Road. The starlight in his Dao Fetus's spiritual platform flickered, and the Thunder Law star on his practice arena shone brightly. Xu Jin stood on this first tier of the Thunder Law Heavenly Road and began to comprehend this Thunder-system Heavenly Star Will in order.

On the Thunder Law Heavenly Road, some people were climbing step by step with extreme determination.

Some fell, and some easily crossed the ten-tier Law Heavenly Road and headed deeper.

The situation on the Law Heavenly Road was clearly visible to the observers before the Xuandao Hall.

However, not many people were paying attention to Xu Jin. Those who could come to the Xuandao Hall were all dignitaries of the Dongxuan Star Realm, and naturally, they were paying attention to their own family's disciples.

Of course, it was not that no one was paying attention to Xu Jin.

For example, the Prince of Yutang, Zhu Shizhen, and further back, the Eldest Princess of the Yutang True Person's manor, Zhu Linxiao, who was wearing a veil.

Although Zhu Shizhen didn't have much propriety in front of Xu Jin, Zhu Shizhen still did things with great methodology; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to rule the Yutang Prince Manor.

He only occasionally joked about things like "brother-in-law" in front of Xu Jin.

But in reality, he had already started to handle this matter.

He had very directly discussed this matter with his sister, analyzed a lot, and chatted a lot.

Of course, Zhu Linxiao, who was a Tenth Tier Star Lord and the Eldest Princess of the Yutang True Person's manor, was not someone who would marry just because Zhu Shizhen asked her to.

Of course, she knew better that her brother was not someone who would mess around.

So she came over today specifically to see Xu Jin's performance.

Top-level dignitaries at her level often valued value and interests in marriage. If they could have a trace of liking or love while meeting value and interests, that would be a blessing from heaven.

So Zhu Linxiao's gaze fell on Xu Jin from time to time.

Her expression was also very expectant.

But as time passed, whether it was the Prince of Yutang, Zhu Shizhen, or Zhu Linxiao, their gazes became a bit wrong.

It was only the first tier of the Thunder Law Heavenly Road, and most people could climb over it within ten breaths.

Those top geniuses were even more like strolling, crossing it casually.

But this Xu Jin, this peerless genius Xu Jin in her brother's mouth, had now been standing on the first tier of the Thunder Law Heavenly Road for a quarter of an hour.

A quarter of an hour!

If the first tier took a quarter of an hour, then the tenth tier would take an hour, or even two or three hours?

In this situation, not to mention reaching the top, even the top ten or top hundred were unlikely.

Even, whether he could become a Daoist was a bit hanging.

The difficulty behind was increasing exponentially.

This Law Heavenly Road, Zhu Linxiao had climbed it.

Not far away, the Prince of Yutang, Zhu Shizhen's face also turned bitter like an orange.

This was a situation he had completely not expected.

He had thought that Xu Jin would be far ahead, climbing one tier per step, and even more so that Xu Jin would climb three tiers per step and reach the top directly.

But he didn't expect Xu Jin to be stuck on the first tier directly.

At this very moment, Xu Jin also became the "eye-catching package" of the entire Law Heavenly Road.

Except for the individual Candidate Daoists who were eliminated, currently on the eight Law Heavenly Roads, Xu Jin was the only one stuck on the first tier of the Law Heavenly Road.

【Your Highness, subordinate may have misjudged, please punish me! That Xu Jin, after stepping onto the first tier of the Thunder Law Heavenly Road, hasn't climbed over it for a quarter of an hour.】 Outside the Xuandao Hall, Zheng Yi, who was secretly monitoring Xu Jin for the Bixuan Prince Manor, had a bitter face.

He had reported this discovery early, thinking he could make a contribution.

He didn't expect it to almost kill him!

【No matter, continue to watch the Prince of Yutang, Zhu Shizhen.】

Seeing the Bixuan Crown Prince's reply, Zheng Yi breathed a sigh of relief; fortunately, the Crown Prince did not blame him.

At the same time, the bitter-faced Zhu Shizhen also received a starlight message from his sister Zhu Linxiao, 【Shizhen, is this the peerless genius you told me could be your brother-in-law?】
