Chapter 688

Inside the small courtyard of the Dao Palace, Xu Jin is preparing for the cultivation of the divine soul divine ability, the Taixu Questioning Heart Platform.

This first step is naturally to need a foundation for the divine ability, which is the Sword Essence, also called by some the Fetal Essence or Dao Essence.

Regarding this point, because Xu Jin has already conceived a Dao Fetus and conceived twelve Sword Essences, it is already enough.

So Xu Jin is now carrying out the second step of the Taixu Questioning Heart Platform.

Building the divine ability framework, also known as the Divine Ability Sword Mansion.

This step, the construction of Star Power-type divine abilities is very complex and requires various spiritual materials and precious materials for forging and casting.

But divine soul divine abilities are relatively simple, mainly built with divine soul power, and then solidified with precious materials.

These precious materials, his master, the Emperor of Fenghua, had already prepared for Xu Jin, but there was no opportunity to send them over.

But it just so happens that Xu Jin has them.

Divine Dao Golden Beads.

Casting and refining the Taixu Questioning Heart Platform requires Divine Dao Golden Beads, and fifteen Great Divine Dao Golden Beads at that.

Isn't this a coincidence?

Although his master, the Emperor of Fenghua, hasn't sent them to Xu Jin yet, Xu Jin has them in his hands.

Ten small Divine Dao Golden Beads can be condensed into one Great Divine Dao Golden Bead.

Xu Jin currently has over 1200 small Divine Dao Golden Beads in his hands, which is enough.

So Xu Jin took advantage of the three days of free time during the second round of the Daoist Candidate Selection to nervously cast and refine the divine soul divine ability, the Taixu Questioning Heart Platform.

The reason for being so nervous stems from a key piece of intelligence Xu Jin obtained from the Prince of Yutang, Zhu Shizhen.

The second round of the Daoist Candidate Selection mainly tests divine soul cultivation and willpower.

This round of selection can be called an open-book exam.

Because even if you know the content of the exam, you have no way to cheat.

External objects are not allowed, and the content tested is just that, relying entirely on strength.

And the key point lies in the second point, willpower.

Divine soul cultivation is actually easy to handle; after all, the minimum requirement for participating in the Daoist Candidate Selection is that divine soul cultivation must reach the early stage of the Fifth-Tier Primordial Spirit.

According to the Prince of Yutang, Zhu Shizhen, as long as divine soul cultivation reaches the mid-stage of the Fifth-Tier Primordial Spirit, there is no problem in terms of divine soul cultivation.

The main thing is willpower!

This thing is invisible and intangible; even if you pat your chest and say your willpower is firm, you only know after you are pulled onto the field.

But for old-fashioned nobles like the four major True Person Mansions, they still grasp some information gaps.

For example, this willpower, the main assessment method is related to the seven emotions.

This is harder to cheat on than divine soul cultivation.

But this does not prevent the bloodlines of the four major True Person Mansions from being prepared in advance.

Related to the seven emotions: joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hatred, and desire.

Although what is experienced during the assessment may be just like the real thing, many things, once truly experienced, lose their charm.

The bloodlines of the four major True Person Mansions have experienced a lot in this regard; for example, going hungry for a few days and then being given delicious food can also be considered training desire.

According to the Prince of Yutang, Zhu Shizhen, some even feed their bloodline disciples aphrodisiacs and then let several women dressed only in light gauze accompany them to see how long they can persist.

It's a bit cruel.

In other aspects, such as anger, sorrow, fear, love, etc., there is also relevant training.

But training is training after all.

What kind of reaction there will be after a real-like experience is hard to say.

The Prince of Yutang, Zhu Shizhen, told Xu Jin these things just to let Xu Jin be prepared in advance.

However, this intelligence gave Xu Jin a strange feeling in his heart.

He had a feeling that he had seen the true face of his master, the Emperor of Fenghua: the Emperor of Fenghua who loves to fleece sheep?

I don't know if this counts as the true face of his master, the Emperor of Fenghua.

Or is it a coincidence?

Previously, his master, the Emperor of Fenghua, suggested that after Xu Jin's identity problem was solved, he should stay in the Dongxuan Star Realm to see if he could gain anything, or even obtain that Innate Fire Essence to prepare for the Great Chaos Spirit Body.

At that time, Xu Jin felt that his master, the Emperor of Fenghua, loved to fleece sheep.

Especially during the first round of selection, coincidence!

Xu Jin felt that everything was a coincidence!

But the current second round made Xu Jin feel that it was excessively coincidental.

This master, the Emperor of Fenghua, hurriedly passed two types of divine soul divine abilities to Xu Jin, and Xu Jin finally chose the Taixu Questioning Heart Platform.

Then coincidentally, the divine soul divine ability of the Taixu Questioning Heart Platform requires collecting and absorbing a large amount of the power of the seven emotions.

His master, the Emperor of Fenghua's arrangement for this process was to let Xu Jin find and absorb it in the mortal world, and it would be about enough in three to five years.

This thing, as long as you find the right characteristics, is still very common, and the time might be shortened.

Xu Jin even thought about the places to collect these seven emotions' power, such as finding a human battlefield to absorb sorrow, fear, and anger, and it would be about enough after running a few more times.

Going to brothels, famine-stricken areas, you could absorb joy, desire, and other seven emotions' power.

But now, the second round of the Dongxuan Dao Palace's Daoist Candidate Selection tests exactly this.

Too coincidental!

Xu Jin even felt that the seven emotions' power appearing in the second round of the Daoist Candidate Selection might very likely be absorbable.

Now, Xu Jin highly suspects that this might be a deliberate arrangement by his master, the Emperor of Fenghua.

After all, his master, the Emperor of Fenghua, also said that he had old grievances with the Emperor of Dongxuan.

You don't necessarily understand those you have old ties with, but you definitely understand the details of the targets you have grievances with better.

Once such a thought emerged, Xu Jin hurriedly prepared.

If the opportunity really came and he wasn't prepared, it would be a huge loss.

Opportunity is reserved for those who are prepared.

Although his master, the Emperor of Fenghua, passed on the secret method of collecting the seven emotions' power, if the Divine Ability Sword Mansion of the Taixu Questioning Heart Platform is prepared, it will be more convenient and faster to absorb.

It just so happens that Xu Jin has Divine Dao Golden Beads, so he started preparing now.

This Divine Ability Sword Mansion of the Taixu Questioning Heart Platform is to cast and refine the Taixu Questioning Heart Platform with divine soul cultivation, and then solidify it with Divine Dao Golden Beads.

According to his master, the Emperor of Fenghua, the key to the Taixu Questioning Heart Platform is to collect enough seven emotions, so the Taixu Seven Emotions Mirror that accommodates the seven emotions on the Questioning Heart Platform is very critical.

At the weakest, each Taixu Seven Emotions Mirror also needs to be invested with one small Divine Dao Golden Bead.

But using small Divine Dao Golden Beads, it can accommodate at most a hundred people's worth of seven emotions, and its future power will be limited.

So it is necessary to use Great Divine Dao Golden Beads to cast and refine the Taixu Seven Emotions Mirror, one per mirror, which can accommodate a thousand people's worth of seven emotions.

After final refining, the power will be powerful.

Of course, you can also consume more Divine Dao Golden Beads to collect and accommodate more seven emotions to strengthen the power.

But the problem is that Divine Dao Golden Beads are extremely precious, and up to now, he has only prepared fifteen Great Divine Dao Golden Beads for Xu Jin.

These fifteen are what is needed for the overall cultivation of the Taixu Questioning Heart Platform; casting and refining the Taixu Seven Emotions Mirror can only consume seven Great Divine Dao Golden Beads. However, later, after collecting more Divine Dao Golden Beads, it can also be strengthened again.

According to this explanation from his master, the Emperor of Fenghua, it means that the more Divine Dao Golden Beads consumed on each Taixu Seven Emotions Mirror, the more seven emotions accommodated, and the greater the power.

That is this theory.

It just so happens that Xu Jin has quite a few Divine Dao Golden Beads in his hands.

Now, the Kunling Domain is nearly unified, and the Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao has already created the Star Dome Holy Temple, promoting it throughout the entire Kunling Domain, with believers increasing day by day, and Divine Dao Golden Beads are condensing in the divine statues every day.

This thing, for Xu Jin now, is a renewable resource.

Xu Jin is not afraid of consumption.

Anyway, the collected power of the seven emotions of all living beings is the more the better; the more there is, the greater the power of the Taixu Questioning Heart Platform.

However, Xu Jin cannot return to the Kunling Domain in the short term, and Divine Dao Golden Beads can be considered Xu Jin's other ultimate life-saving means.

It cannot be consumed too much either.

Therefore, Xu Jin finally decided to invest seven Great Divine Dao Golden Beads in each Taixu Seven Emotions Mirror, which is seventy small Divine Dao Golden Beads, totaling four hundred and ninety small Divine Dao Golden Beads.

In this way, the remaining Divine Dao Golden Beads in Xu Jin's hands are still over seven hundred.

It can still be used as an explosive final life-saving means.

At the moment, Xu Jin continuously mobilized his divine soul cultivation, cooperated with the Divine Dao Golden Beads, and started casting and refining the Taixu Seven Emotions Mirror.

Fenghua Imperial Palace.

The Emperor of Fenghua looked at the intelligence he had just received, and a look of gratitude appeared in his eyes.

This is the latest intelligence from the Dongxuan Star Realm forwarded to him by the Emperor of Duye.

Xu Jin's performance is much better than he imagined.

First in the three systems.

Then the harvest should be quite good.

It's just that I don't know if Xu Jin can get the harvest he expects in the upcoming Daoist Candidate Selection.

Of course, the Emperor of Fenghua understands that if he speaks up, the Emperor of Duye will definitely help contact Xu Jin.

Accompany for another month?

It has already been five months, and another month doesn't seem like anything!

Especially the current Emperor of Duye, who is so understanding.

It seems completely different from before.

This makes the Emperor of Fenghua look forward to it a little.

However, the Emperor of Fenghua still did not contact Xu Jin again.

Because the Emperor of Fenghua knows very well that he has been indulgent enough to this disciple of his.

It is equivalent to the meal already being served in front of him.

It's impossible to shout again, "Be good, open your mouth to eat."

Feeding it directly into his mouth, that's not a teacher, but a nanny.

That would only raise this disciple to be useless!

"This disciple of mine should be prepared..."

Three days later, which is February 3rd.

Dang!

A bell sound echoed through the entire Dongxuan Dao Palace, and Xu Jin, who was in deep cultivation, was suddenly awakened.

"The second round of the Daoist Candidate Selection is about to begin. All candidate Daoists who passed the first round, arrive in front of the Xuan Dao Hall within a quarter of an hour.

Those who are late will be eliminated." The voice of the True Person of Commander Tian Zhang sounded.

Xu Jin, who opened his eyes, did not rush to get up, but looked inward at his Dao Fetus.

Now, Xu Jin's Dao Fetus is barely four feet, close to two-thirds of his own height, which means Xu Jin's Dao Fetus cultivation is about to be upgraded to the late stage of the Sixth-Tier Dao Fetus.

Dao Fetus cultivation is calculated based on equal height.

Equal height is the peak of the Dao Fetus.

Under the continuous passive growth of the Cheng Po Star Pattern, plus the large amount of Seventh-Tier divine soul-type spiritual medicine Xu Jin took before, Xu Jin's Dao Fetus cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.

However, at the current speed, the peak of the Dao Fetus should be possible within half a year.

But on Xu Jin's Dao Fetus, the most eye-catching thing is the twelve Sword Essences surrounding the Dao Fetus.

Among the twelve Sword Essences that are between virtual and real, one has now turned from virtual to real, among which seven golden flashing mirrors are particularly eye-catching, but the platform under the mirrors is still rough, only cast and refined a little bit.

In three days, Xu Jin consumed four hundred and ninety small Divine Dao Golden Beads and barely cast and refined seven Taixu Seven Emotions Mirrors.

It can be considered a small achievement.

If the seven Taixu Seven Emotions Mirrors can be filled successfully, then the most important foundation of this divine ability will be completed.

"It's just that I don't know if my guess is correct..."

The next instant, Xu Jin swallowed a Sixth-Tier divine soul-type spiritual medicine, and at the same time mobilized the Lingtai Star Art, hurriedly recovering his consumed Dao Fetus cultivation, before arriving in front of the Xuan Dao Hall at the last deadline.

More than twenty-four thousand candidate Daoists who passed the first round have all gathered in front of the Xuan Dao Hall.

The Prince of Yutang, Zhu Shizhen, had already arrived and was waiting for Xu Jin.

"Brother-in-law, this level is very simple. As long as you are not eliminated, you pass.

Of course, there are also rewards!

According to past experience, it should be that whoever persists the longest has the highest ranking!

As for the rewards, the rewards issued every year are not quite the same.

As for me, I will continue to drink tea and watch the show!" Having reached an agreement with Xu Jin, the Prince of Yutang, Zhu Shizhen, also called him brother-in-law in an extremely open and aboveboard manner.

While Xu Jin nodded, in the sky, two breaths that made all candidate Daoists feel awe-inspiring and emitted majestic pressure suddenly appeared.

True Person!

In the sky, two True Person experts actually appeared.

One is the True Person of Commander Tian Zhang whom Xu Jin has seen.

The other one, Xu Jin had not seen before, and as for the face, the whole body was shrouded in starlight, not clear.

"Brother-in-law, this is the True Person of Yuanling, every divine soul assessment is hosted by him." While introducing, the Prince of Yutang, Zhu Shizhen, suddenly thought thoughtfully, "This session, with Yuan Juanmao here, Yuan Juanmao is known as the strongest genius of the True Person Mansion of Yuanling in three hundred years.

The assessment is hosted by the True Person of Yuanling.

Then this reward, maybe..."

Xu Jin was still somewhat puzzled upon hearing this.

But the next instant, the low and thick voice of the True Person of Yuanling sounded, "This is the assessment rule and assessment reward for the second round of this Daoist Candidate Selection, you all look clearly and remember clearly, if you don't remember clearly, when you enter the illusion later, no one will tell you again."

After finishing, the True Person of Yuanling waved his hand, and as starlight flickered, lines of large starlight-flickering characters appeared in the high sky.

At the same instant, the Prince of Yutang, Zhu Shizhen, who saw all this, changed his expression and gritted his teeth, "Old shameless, truly old shameless! I have never seen anyone engage in corruption so openly!"

"What do you mean?" Xu Jin, who was looking at the rules, was somewhat puzzled.
