Chapter 686

On the Fire Heavenly Road of Laws, three phantoms stood.

They were the top three who climbed the Fire Heavenly Road of Laws.

The first place was Yuan Chengfa of the Yuanling Tianyang Zhenjun's Mansion, whose phantom stood on the sixty-third tier of the Heavenly Road of Laws.

At the same time, this tier was also the highest tier of the eight-attribute Heavenly Roads of Laws this time.

Apart from the Fire Heavenly Road of Laws, no other Heavenly Road of Laws had been climbed beyond the sixtieth tier.

The cause was also extremely pure.

It was because the strongest legacy left behind by the entire Dongxuan Star Realm was the fire-attribute legacy, and the most people cultivated the fire attribute.

At the same time, most of the powerful families or geniuses were aiming for the Great Dao legacy of the Dongxuan Emperor.

Although it was extremely difficult to cultivate into an Emperor.

But what if?

With collective wisdom and effort, it was difficult for the accomplishment in the fire attribute not to be high.

The second-place figure was Su Xuan, standing on the sixty-second tier of the Fire Heavenly Road of Laws.

The third-place figure was Shen Hui, who came from the Tianyi Tianyang Xingjun's Mansion, at the fifty-ninth tier.

Theoretically, at this very moment, these three were the top three of the Fire Heavenly Road of Laws, the kind that was set in stone.

Originally, Xu Jin had only stepped onto the fiftieth tier of the Fire Heavenly Road of Laws and posed no threat to them at all.

But the problem was Xu Jin's speed of ascending tiers.

Up to now, he still maintained a speed of seven or eight breaths per tier.

At this speed, within a hundred breaths, he would definitely reach the top and take first place.

Naturally, all eyes were on him.

Let alone Tianyang Zhenjun Commander Tian Zhang, even the other two True Monarchs and many Star Lords existing in the Dongxuan Star Realm began to cast their gazes from all directions, paying attention to Xu Jin's progress.

The moment he stepped onto the fiftieth tier, six fire-attribute laws surged, and the pressure came rushing toward him; among them, one fire-attribute law was an unfamiliar fire-attribute law that Xu Jin had never seen before.

It was a pity there was no time now.

Otherwise, he could also strengthen the fire-attribute origin star.

At this very moment, Xu Jin could only use the most violent method to break through the suppression of the six fire-attribute laws, striving to reach the top.

But at the same time, the fire-attribute laws surging over increased to six, assisting and reinforcing each other, and the power increased exponentially.

Even for Xu Jin, the speed of breaking through the suppression of the laws suddenly slowed down a lot.

It could be called an exponential increase.

At this speed, within the remaining time, let alone reaching the top and taking first place, it would be difficult for Xu Jin to even reach the top three!

But the fire-attribute talent was something Xu Jin had to reveal.

This was the goal.

The next instant, Xu Jin's divine sense urged again.

On the Arena, the other seven silent origin stars simultaneously released starlight, projecting thousands of starlights, which finally entangled and gathered on the fire-attribute origin star, forming a combined force.

In an instant, the starlight of the fire-attribute origin star released again, and the reinforcement to Xu Jin also increased again.

At the same instant, the Fire Source star pattern and Fire Elephant star pattern also released brilliance, breaking through the fire-attribute laws that were like heavy waves, and one of Xu Jin's feet stepped onto the fifty-first tier extremely slowly yet firmly.

As if carrying a thousand jun of weight.

But it was also incomparably stable!

"Seven breaths!"

In front of the Profound Dao Hall, someone exclaimed.

"Another tier, nine breaths!"

"Fifty-third tier, took ten breaths!"

"Reached the fifty-fifth tier, this tier took twelve breaths!"

A crowd of onlookers even shouted out the time Xu Jin consumed.

Along with the top three, Yuan Chengfa, Su Xuan, and Shen Hui, their expressions became extremely nervous.

When Xu Jin stepped onto the fifty-ninth tier, Shen Hui, who came from the Tianyi Tianyang Xingjun's Mansion, clenched his fists tightly, his fingertips almost pinching into his palms.

In his heart, he had already begun to pray for Xu Jin to fall, to fall directly from the Heavenly Road of Laws!

But after seventeen breaths, Xu Jin stepped onto the sixtieth tier slowly and firmly again!

Shen Hui gritted his teeth, his expression becoming ugly to the extreme at this instant.

The third place in hand, flew away!

Flew away!

He felt some regret.

If he had spent another half a day back then, he should have been able to ascend to the sixtieth tier!

Subsequently, it was the turn of Su Xuan, who was ranked second, to be nervous.

Su Xuan, who was shaking a folding fan, closed the fan to his chest with a 'pa' sound, and then stared at Xu Jin without blinking.

Even if the current Dongxuan Star Realm was managed by his family's ancestor, Tianyang Zhenjun Commander Tian Zhang, treasures like Enlightenment Stones were not something his family's ancestor could privately transfer.

Each one had a source and a destination.

Those True Monarchs and Star Lords stared at them extremely tightly.

On the sixtieth tier of the Fire Heavenly Road of Laws, the seven surging fire-attribute laws directly made Xu Jin's figure tremble slightly; starlight released on the Arena, and Xu Jin's figure stabilized.

This difficulty increased exponentially again.

Xu Jin's expression changed slightly.

The Fire Source and Fire Elephant star patterns, as well as many origin stars, had already been driven to the extreme by Xu Jin, but the progress of breaking through the seven fire-attribute laws became very slow.

The time consumed was not doubled.

But increased several times over.

After trying slightly, Xu Jin had a rough judgment.

"Stepping onto this tier requires about eighty to one hundred breaths of time. To get second place, I need to ascend to the sixty-third tier, which requires at least four hundred breaths of time; to take first place, I am afraid it requires five or six hundred breaths of time.

Pity the time"

Xu Jin's time at this moment had at most about one hundred and fifty breaths left.

It was the time consumed on the Spatial Heavenly Road of Laws earlier that was too much.

It was consumption, not waste!

However, Xu Jin did not regret it.

If he were to do it all over again, he would still spend the most time on the Spatial Heavenly Road of Laws.

Just from Xu Jin's current discovery, the difficulty of obtaining spatial laws was more than ten times that of other attribute laws.

Not ten times, it was more than ten times!

In any case, today's harvest was super valuable!

One must be content and happy.

Third!

Able to obtain a fire-attribute Enlightenment Stone.

In a great world where all geniuses crazily study fire-attribute star arts, being able to obtain a third-place ranking, this talent revealed was enough.

And Xu Jin felt that with his current condition, if he were given two or three hours, he should be able to ascend to the sixty-ninth tier.

But the sixty-ninth or seventieth tier was his limit.

"Fire Heavenly Road, let's stop here!"

Xu Jin made a decision in an instant.

However, there was still more than a hundred breaths of time, which could not be wasted either.

Xu Jin's mind suddenly flashed through the rankings of the Heavenly Roads of Laws of various attributes he had seen earlier.

Judging by his speed in rushing the Fire Heavenly Road of Laws, in more than a hundred breaths, he would at most rush to the fiftieth tier.

The tier of fifty, the ranking he could get, would only be that one Heavenly Road of Laws.

【Trouble Tianyang Zhenjun to help me record my tier.】

【Not reached your limit yet?】 Tianyang Zhenjun Commander Tian Zhang asked.

【It's about the same.】

Xu Jin replied, and in an instant, he turned into a starlight and fell from the sixtieth tier of the Fire Heavenly Road of Laws.

"It's over!"

Seeing Xu Jin's starlight fall, Su Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really a bit nervous just now.

He was really afraid that his second place would be taken by Xu Jin.

That would be a huge loss. At the same instant, all the geniuses participating in the Dao Child Selection, especially those geniuses who had obtained rankings, also finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The dust settled.

Stable!

Their rankings were completely stable.

The rewards were already in their pockets.

But the next instant, the starlight of Xu Jin, who had just fallen, suddenly made a turn and rushed toward the Wind Heavenly Road of Laws.

Before the crowd of Dao Children and powerful figures could react, Xu Jin's figure had already rushed onto the Wind Heavenly Road of Laws.

The moment he rushed up, the wind-attribute origin star of the Arena was immediately driven to the extreme, and the other seven origin stars projected thousands of starlights, falling onto the wind-attribute origin star; in an instant, the brilliance was brilliant to the extreme.

Combined force!

From the beginning, Xu Jin drove his power to the extreme.

One step per tier, half a breath per tier.

Xu Jin's figure climbed quickly on the Wind Heavenly Road of Laws.

By the time other candidate Dao Children and powerful figures got the news and turned their heads to look at the Wind Heavenly Road of Laws, Xu Jin had already appeared on the twentieth tier.

And it was still a light pace of one step per tier; the speed of climbing the Wind Heavenly Road of Laws was basically undiminished.

In front of the Profound Dao Hall, Yuan Luzhen, who came from the Bixuan Prince's Mansion, was replying to all kinds of congratulatory messages with incomparable excitement.

This Vanguard Selection today was simply his super lucky time.

As a collateral descendant of the Bixuan Prince's Mansion, the fact that the direct descendant Lu Huang, who was pressing on his head, died in battle in the Insect-Raising Domain was itself huge good news.

It gave him the opportunity to be promoted to the direct line.

And today he took first place on the Wind Heavenly Road of Laws; with this performance, after the Dao Child Selection, he would be directly promoted to the direct line and become the grandson of the Prince, and even his mother would be honored because of her son.

In a few days, life had already become very different.

At the same time, it also let him see what is called all kinds of flattery!

Relatives who were not seen on weekdays, and officials and generals of the Bixuan Prince's Mansion, all sent congratulatory starlight transmissions one by one at this time; even more, some directly attached long gift lists.

For a time, while he was happy, he actually felt like he couldn't finish replying to these starlight transmissions one by one.

But he enjoyed it.

Suddenly, a personal guard who accompanied him to participate in the Dao Child Selection called out, "Young Master, it's not good."

"What's not good?"

"Young Master, look quickly at the Wind Heavenly Road of Laws."

"What's not good about this?"

Yuan Luzhen, who was excitedly replying to starlight transmissions with gift lists, felt a bit impatient when he heard this and looked toward the Wind Heavenly Road of Laws.

In an instant, he was dumbfounded.

The moment he looked up, he saw someone who had just stepped onto the fiftieth tier of the Wind Heavenly Road of Laws, standing side by side with the figure he, the first place, left on the Wind Heavenly Road of Laws.

"Who is this?"

"It's that double-first-place Xu Jin!"

"Bastard!"

Yuan Luzhen gritted his teeth in an instant, wishing he could rush up and tear Xu Jin down, while in his heart he was frantically shouting, "Fall, fall quickly, fall quickly!"

Three breaths later, Xu Jin stepped onto the fifty-first tier of the Wind Heavenly Road of Laws steadily!

First place!

Yuan Luzhen instantly turned to stone on the spot!

The whole person felt bad!

First place was robbed!

His brilliance was robbed!

Damn it, this bastard was clearly rushing the Fire Heavenly Road, why did he run to the Wind Heavenly Road, and why did he have to go against him?

At the same time, having already stepped onto the first place of the Wind Heavenly Road of Laws, standing at the peak of the Wind Heavenly Road of Laws, looking back at the foot of the mountain, and glancing at the figures standing on the other three Heavenly Roads of Laws, a thought emerged in his heart.

"Triple first place, enough!"

The next instant, Xu Jin's figure fell like starlight.

Just as he landed, Zhu Shizhen, whose face was smiling like a flower, greeted him.

From all directions, countless gazes converged on Xu Jin's figure simultaneously.

There was envy, jealousy, doubt, and even more worship!

On the other side of the Profound Dao Hall, there was a group of young girls dressed in colorful clothes; among them, the bold ones were waving at Xu Jin, and their excitement and worship were overflowing.

Looking at this scene, Xu Jin understood that if he really expressed something, he could probably enter the bridal chamber first in a while, and maybe even enter the bridal chamber repeatedly!

In an instant, he shook his head; this thought was too shameless!

Fortunately, Zhu Shizhen came over, and his back, which was two people wide, instantly blocked the beautiful faces and gazes of those girls who were waving wantonly, and also blocked Xu Jin's gaze toward them.

In an instant, Zhu Shizhen had the feeling of being pricked by needles on his back.

The gazes of those hundreds of girls all wished they could kill Zhu Shizhen on the spot.

Especially those girls who felt that Xu Jin was interested in them.

Ten breaths later, the bell rang throughout the entire Dongxuan Dao Palace, and Tianyang Zhenjun Commander Tian Zhang's thick voice also sounded.

"The first round of the Dao Child Selection is over; a total of twenty-three thousand people were selected. Three days later, the second round of the Dao Child Selection will be conducted!

The second round will test the cultivation of the divine soul and will!

Below, the rewards for the first round of the Heavenly Road of Laws assessment will be distributed."

The instant the voice sounded, dots of starlight flew out from in front of Tianyang Zhenjun Commander Tian Zhang, who had revealed his figure, and fell toward the candidate Dao Children selected in front of each Heavenly Road of Laws as accurately as scattered flowers.

Among them, Xu Jin's harvest was the greatest.

A full ten starlights fell.

Three silver, three purple-black, three cyan-wind, and one red; a total of ten Enlightenment Stones emitting mysterious aura floated in front of Xu Jin.

Looking at the ten Enlightenment Stones floating in front of Xu Jin, even Prince Yutang Zhu Shizhen revealed an envious gaze.

The look in his eyes was extremely intense.

This scene fell into Xu Jin's eyes, "Your Highness, you don't lack this stuff too, do you?"

"Lack, how can I not lack it!"

"Well, even if you lack it, I can't give it to you!"

While speaking, Xu Jin had already collected all ten Enlightenment Stones into his Sumeru space; these were treasures.

One Enlightenment Stone could at least comprehend two related laws; if used well, three were also possible. More importantly, it could be used for Dao evolution.

And Dao evolution could forge divine abilities!

On the side, Prince Yutang Zhu Shizhen smiled bitterly helplessly, "To tell you the truth, even for me, this Prince Yutang, the Enlightenment Stones prepared in the mansion are only three!

Up to now, only one has been used.

The other two, I can only use them when my cultivation reaches the late ninth tier."

This answer made Xu Jin quite surprised, "So precious? You are a Tianyang Zhenjun legacy mansion, right?"

"Do you know how this stuff comes from?"

"How does it come from?" Xu Jin was puzzled; Xu Jin really didn't know the origin of this Enlightenment Stone.

"Refined from the bodies of Star Lords who were killed or sat down.

And it must be a Great Tianyang Xingjun, Town Tianyang Xingjun, or Imperial Tianyang Xingjun to have them.

Small Star Lords don't have them in their bodies.

For Enlightenment Stones of the same attribute, a Great Tianyang Xingjun can refine at most one, a Town Tianyang Xingjun can refine at most two, and an Imperial Tianyang Xingjun can refine at most three to four.

Do you understand its preciousness now?" Prince Yutang Zhu Shizhen said.

Suddenly, Xu Jin felt that the ten Enlightenment Stones in his hands became very hot.

Doesn't this represent the death of at least four or five Star Lords or even more?

Then the preciousness of this stuff could be imagined!

"Go, go, go, let's talk in your courtyard."

The end of the first round of the Dao Child Selection directly caused the powerful figures waiting outside the venue to take action; some were the heads of the mansions who came out directly, bringing servants and thick gift lists.

Zhu Shizhen just glanced at it and found that there were at least ten powerful families walking toward Xu Jin!

By the time Zhu Shizhen and Xu Jin returned to the small courtyard where Xu Jin, the candidate Dao Child, was temporarily living, twelve nobles who came to seek marriage or recruit Xu Jin were already following behind.

As for Prince Yutang Zhu Shizhen's dissatisfied gaze, no one cared.

Fair competition, afraid of a bird.

Xu Jin is not from your Zhu family!

"Everyone, whoever has prepared a gift thicker than my Yutang Prince's Mansion, then please follow in." While speaking, Prince Yutang Zhu Shizhen directly projected a long gift list with starlight.

In front of the small courtyard gate, the sound of gasping for air was continuous.

Seeing the gift list, the twelve powerful figures turned around helplessly one after another.
