Everyone looked at him. Zhou Qing was undoubtedly the most outstanding and dazzling person in the first two assessments.
Even the other examinees roughly understood in their hearts that even if he had not yet taken the Hundred Battles Road assessment, he had already been guaranteed entry into the Supreme Academy.
But this is a world of cultivation after all, strength represents everything, and the strong are respected.
Everyone is also paying attention to Zhou Qing's strength.
Lian Guang Zhenxian said: "Go in and do your best."
This was already a relatively good attitude. When the previous twenty people were taking the test, Immortal Lian Guang did not say a word to them.
Zhou Qing nodded and strode towards Baizhan Road.
After observing the assessments of everyone before him, he basically had an idea of how he should perform.
After entering the Hundred Battles Road, spots of light emerged and gathered in front of Zhou Qing, and finally a humanoid war spirit appeared.
Qingwei heavenly realm, ordinary war spirit.
Needless to say, without any surprises, Zhou Qing easily defeated the ordinary war spirit.
He took a step forward and the elite war spirit appeared again, but was still defeated by him, and then the king war spirit appeared.
Although Zhou Qing formulated a hiding strategy, he didn't hide to the point where he couldn't even defeat a king war spirit.
The third level of Baizhan Road was passed successfully.
The fourth opponent was an ordinary war spirit from the Daluo Heaven Realm. Zhou Qing won in a rather difficult way, and then chose to withdraw.
It’s not that Zhou Qing doesn’t want to hide more, but the war spirits in Qingwei Tianjing are really not a challenge to him. As long as he takes action, others can see that he crushes the first three war spirits.
The best option is to defeat the fourth war spirit and stop, after all, we have already crossed the border.
This is already the first place in his test. Including the previous two tests, he is the first in three tests.
And you get first place not because others are too bad, but because you are too good. There is a difference.
Some people looked at Zhou Qing walking back and were secretly shocked.
"This Zhou Qing, is this a hermit master from somewhere? He is truly amazing, and can be compared to the strongest Heaven Realm masters in my Xuantai Dao Sect."
He has a solid foundation, an excellent state of mind and will, and amazing combat power.
Zhou Qing has already achieved high attainments in the three aspects required to become an immortal. In their opinion, if Zhou Qing continues his studies in Tai Shang Academy in the future, his chances of becoming an immortal will be quite high.
Is this really a casual cultivator? Zhou Qing felt helpless when he found that everyone was looking at him.
He had been very restrained, but who would have thought that just a slight move would exceed the limits of his fellow examinees and make him stand out.
Converging to this extent is already the limit and cannot be suppressed any further.
If I hide it again, it will be too fake, and I might just hide myself back home...
In fact, it’s not that these examinees are too weak. Among all the realms in the Supreme Realm, they are among the most powerful ones.
It is definitely not the strongest among them, but there is no doubt that it has surpassed a large number of heavenly realms.
As for the strongest heavenly realms among the major superpowers in the Tai Shang Eleven Domains, they usually don't come to the Tai Shang Academy to take the assessment.
Sects like Taiming Dao Zong and Xuantai Dao Zong also have precious resources that are beneficial to ascending to immortality, and they even have channels to contact the Taishang Dao Palace and obtain some treasures. They are not much inferior to the Taishang Academy. After all, they are also the masters of the Dao domain bestowed by the Dao Palace, so they must have connections.
Those resources will be provided to the top masters in the sect to help them become immortals without having to compete in the Supreme Academy.
To reach the celestial realm below the top level within a superpower, one can only try at Tai Shang Academy.
If those top-notch Tianjing masters were allowed to take the assessment together with Zhou Qing, then he wouldn't have to be so helpless, as he is always afraid of comparison.
It’s a pity that they won’t come.
Lian Guang Zhenxian said: "The triple assessment has ended. I have the result in mind. Does anyone want to apply for a supplementary assessment?"
This supplementary assessment is not assigned to you by Tai Shang Academy, but you propose it first, and then targeted arrangements are made.
If you have something special you want to show, this is your last chance.
Zhou Qing was calm and composed, and said nothing. He didn't need to take a make-up exam.
However, there is one other person who does want to apply for additional assessment, and that is Xie Feng’s Taoist partner, Zhao Ya.
She wanted to apply for an assessment in alchemy. Zhao Ya possessed some unique and mysterious innate soul, and she had created several alchemy techniques that suited her.
Finally, the pills she refines will be better than those made by other alchemists of the same level.
After getting the permission from the Immortal Lian Guang, Zhao Ya made the elixir on the spot, and the final result surprised everyone.
When Zhao Ya was refining the elixir, until the moment it was completed, the power of the elixir was the same as that of other alchemists.
But when the elixir was completed, a mysterious star power descended from the sky and imprinted a star pattern on the elixir. Then, without Zhao Ya doing anything, the potency of the elixir inexplicably increased out of thin air!
This is outrageous. I can only say that the world is so big that there are all kinds of strange talents.
This is the effect of Zhao Ya's mysterious innate soul. Using the same medicinal materials and following the same process, the pills she makes are better than those made by others. The most important thing is that she doesn't have to pay any extra price.
There is no doubt that Zhao Ya is worth cultivating. If he can successfully ascend to immortality and refine elixirs in the future, it would be amazing. Even the Zhenxian Lian Guang praised him.
"Since no one has applied for a supplementary assessment, this admission assessment is now over."
Zhenxian Lianguang glanced at everyone and announced the result.
"Zhou Qing, Zhao Ya, Nan Jikun, Xiao Jin, the four of you have successfully passed the assessment and can enter the Supreme Academy to study."
Four out of thirty people were admitted, which is a very low ratio, but it is actually quite good compared to all previous assessments.
The casual cultivator who broke into the sixth level of the flower realm failed to pass because, apart from his performance in the Ten Thousand Flowers Realm, his performance in the other two levels of assessment was too mediocre, especially the Yin-Yang Grind, for which he was eliminated just after half an hour.
Your state of mind and will are indeed important, but you are too poor in other aspects. If Tai Shang Academy wants to make up for it for you, the cost will be too high.
If the resources given to you can be used by several other people, then there is no reason to keep you.
As for the advantage of mind and will? Relatively speaking, as long as you are willing to spend time, this aspect can be steadily improved. It doesn't matter if it is a little worse now. The key is that it doesn't cost money. You just need to spend some time in Taishang College.
After the result was announced, many people were sad, but Zhao Ya and the other two were naturally very happy.
Zhou Qing was very calm, after all, family members know their own business.
If he was not from the Xuanhuang Realm, but from any other world, any world outside the Sanqing Realm, then he would already be participating in the entrance examination of the Taishang Taoist Palace.
Entering Tai Shang College now was within his expectations.
"Zhang Geng, take the four of them to go through the relevant formalities and make arrangements."
Lian Guang Zhenxian ordered: "After everything is over, bring Zhou Qing to see me."
"yes."
The True Immortal Lian Guang disappeared here, leaving only thirty-six people in the Heaven Realm.
Zhang Geng smiled as he looked at Zhou Qing and the other three and said, "Congratulations to the four of you for entering the Supreme Academy. We will be working together for many years to come."
Others also congratulated him. They were all in the Heavenly Realm, and no one would be stupid enough to be so arrogant.
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I'll have to trouble you fellow Taoists to take care of me in the future."
Zhang Geng looked at the 26 people who failed the test and said, "My fellow Taoists, although it is a pity, you don't have to be depressed. There are immortal paths everywhere, and everyone has an unlimited future."
It doesn't mean that you can't become an immortal if you can't enter Tai Shang Academy. This is just a place for further study and it will increase your chances of success. The final result still depends on you.
If you are outside and have a flash of inspiration, understand something, and the opportunity comes, then becoming an immortal will be just a stone's throw away.
Those who failed the assessment began to say goodbye to those who succeeded, and sent their blessings, hoping that Zhou Qing and the other three could achieve something.
No matter whether they knew each other before or not, Zhou Qing and the others obviously have a brighter future at this time, so they still have to say some polite words.
"Daoyou Zhou's divine demeanor is admirable." Xie Feng said with admiration, and then said:
"I was unable to enter the Supreme Academy, so I had no choice but to ask you to take care of me."
"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for your peace of mind. Daoist Zhao and I entered the Supreme Academy together, so it is only natural that we should take care of each other."
Zhou Qing readily agreed. He felt that Zhao Ya's special alchemy ability was quite magical and might be useful in the future.
After saying goodbye, Xie Feng and the others left one after another. Zhang Geng took Zhou Qing and the other three to another place in the academy.
On the way, he said:
"From today on, the four Taoist friends will officially enter the Supreme Academy. You will stay in the academy for five years."
"During these five years, you can use some of the treasures in the academy that are also beneficial to the Heaven Realm. You can also obtain the resources and inheritance from the Supreme Taoist Palace. I will give you a list of specific information later."
"Once you leave, you won't be able to take the test again."
Tai Shang Academy recruits celestial realms in order to train more immortals, but it will not spend resources on them indefinitely.
You must make progress so that people can see that you are getting closer to paradise.
Therefore, each cram school has a time limit and you will not be accepted forever.
Therefore, those who came to participate in the assessment in the Heavenly Realm basically set out after cultivating to the Daluo Heavenly Realm.
Only at this stage can one truly face the gate of immortality, make the most of the resources of Tai Shang Academy, and truly touch the barrier of immortality.
It’s meaningless if you come here when you are in the Great Red Heaven Realm.
It is true that with the help of the environment and resources of the Supreme Academy, you who are in the Great Scarlet Heaven Realm may be able to improve your cultivation relatively quickly, but compared with ascending to immortality, this benefit is really not worth mentioning.
It is such a waste that I used up the opportunity to study in Taishang Academy in Dachitian Realm, and then I won't have the chance to come back after I cultivate to Daluotian Realm.
"In the Supreme Academy, the resources you can enjoy are also related to your strength, progress speed and other aspects of your performance."
Please...collect _6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
Zhang Geng went on to say: "Yin Yang Grind, Hundred Battles Road, Ten Thousand Flowers Realm, are not only tests for Heavenly Realm Daoists, but also places of trial and tempering for Heavenly Realm Daoists in the academy."
"If you want to sharpen your will, you can go to the Thousand Flowers Realm. If you want to strengthen your body and soul, you can use the Yin-Yang Grinding Machine."
"At the same time, the results of these three areas are related to our treatment in the academy. With each step forward, our treatment will be improved, and the academy will give us rewards."
"For example, the inheritance of the Immortal Appearance, the inheritance that can be accessed by the second level of Yin and Yang Refining is not as good as the inheritance of the third level of Yin and Yang Refining. There are many more resources and benefits. I will give you the detailed rules later."
"Your results from this assessment are also valid, and the academy will reissue your rewards according to the rules."
"All Heavenly Realm Daoists who enter the academy are also competitors. At the end of each year, they will be ranked based on their performance in the three places including Yin Yang Mill. The academy will give extra rewards to those who rank higher."
“Those who study in the academy for more than five years do not participate in the ranking within five years. They compete for the ranking in the second five-year study period.”
When Zhou Qing heard this, he asked with some doubt:
"In that case, wouldn't it be that those who have been in the academy for four or five years would have an advantage?"
They have been enjoying the resources of Tai Shang College for four or five years, while newcomers like Zhou Qing have just arrived.
According to common sense, the top positions will probably be firmly occupied by those "old guys".
This way, not all the ranking rewards will be taken by them!
Zhang Geng smiled and said, "Don't worry, the academy is fair. They have an advantage now because they have been studying for four or five years, but in a few years, you will be the same as them."
Zhou Qing and the other three understood what Zhang Geng meant.
Ranking rewards are always available, you just have to wait, and most people have waited this way, so a disguised form of fairness appears.
Somewhat difficult to stretch.
Zhang Geng added: "If a truly amazing person appears, he or she will not be buried because of the length of time they have been in the hospital."
Zhou Qing understood it completely, and it was indeed fair.
The really strong ones will rise to the top directly, while the ordinary people will just have to work harder.
From these systems, we can see that the competition in Tai Shang Academy is very fierce. What is required here is that you work hard and make continuous progress.
As long as you can make progress, he will reward you and let you enjoy better treatment than others. If you keep making progress, you will always be rewarded.
Because your performance deserves such a reward.
Here, you are powerful and full of potential, so you should enjoy the best resources.
“In addition to the many benefits you will enjoy, you will also have certain responsibilities to fulfill during your five years at the academy.”
Zhang Geng said: "For example, in your spare time, you should teach the students of the academy and guide them in their practice. There are teaching time requirements every year."
"During these five years, you have been both students of the immortal way and teachers of the practitioners in the academy."
"You can teach anything about Taoism, martial arts, alchemy, talismans, and empirical theories. The academy doesn't restrict you, but you can't do anything reckless."
Zhou Qing remained silent. He never thought that he would become a teacher one day.
"This is not what the academy wants from you. We don't ask you to teach any unique skills, such as Taoist martial arts. You just need to teach the skills taught by the academy. In fact, this is also a kind of practice."
"When you have reached this level of cultivation, it is time to sort yourself out, integrate what you have learned, and aspire to become immortals."
Zhang Geng said: "When you instruct the practitioners in the academy, you can also re-understand your own magical powers in another way and look at the practice from another perspective. This will be very helpful for everyone's practice."
"Of course, if you have taken a fancy to someone and want to take him as your apprentice, that is also possible."
"We understand." Zhao Ya nodded and said, "In the next five years, we will complete this task seriously."
With the reputation of Tai Shang Academy, if they want to recruit teachers, then if they spread the word, the eleven Tai Shang realms will surely respond in droves.
It is impossible that they are reluctant to give up those resources, so they let those who have passed the assessment and entered the academy act as temporary teachers to collect some interest and exploit them.
After giving them millions of ounces of gold, how could you get back a few copper coins from them?
This is so funny.
Letting them teach students is indeed for the sake of their practice and is another way to assist in their practice.
While instructing others, you are also sorting out what you have learned.
This is also beneficial to the students of Tai Shang College. It is a win-win-win situation. Why not do it?
Inside the Tai Shang Academy, there are numerous mountains and the natural scenery is extremely beautiful. When Zhou Qing and his companions were flying inside, it didn't feel like they were in an academy at all.
Soon, they arrived outside a yard. Zhang Geng led the way and took them inside.
There was another person in the house in the courtyard, also a master of the heavenly realm, named Qian Daheng.
Zhang Geng told them about their situation, and Qian Daheng immediately got busy with the registration.
This time, I asked them carefully about their information, including where they were from and where they were born.
Zhao Ya and the others had clean identities and were quickly registered, but Zhou Qing started to make up a story.
"Zhou Qing, from Taihuang Daoyu, a casual cultivator."
"Which city are you from?"
Zhou Qing calmly replied, "I live in Shanpo Village under the jurisdiction of Minghuang City. I have been alone since I was a child."
He planned to come to Tai Shang College, so how could he not be well prepared?
There was indeed a hillside village near Minghuang City, but it was destroyed by a natural disaster twenty years ago. The entire village was devastated, and only a few people who happened not to be in the village escaped. But over the years, most of them have passed away.
This was the identity he made up for himself after careful investigation on the way to Tai Shang Dao Realm.
There is no flaw in Zhou Qing's identity. Shanpo Village has been destroyed. Twenty years have passed. He said he was from there, and that was it.
He is the survivor of Shanpo Village! Even if you want to investigate, there is no way to find out, unless the peerless masters of the Supreme Taoist Palace take action, but how is that possible?
He was doing fine and hadn't revealed anything. How could a peerless master from the Supreme Taoist Palace go to investigate Shanpo Village?
It's not like I have nothing to do.
Qian Daheng didn't notice anything unusual and completed the registration as usual. This was because the situation Zhou Qing fabricated was very normal and too common.
As for a casual cultivator, his origin must be humble, which fits the impression of a casual cultivator.
After completing the registration, Qian Daheng took out four tokens with Tai Chi patterns engraved on them and handed them to them, saying, "Brand them with your divine thoughts and leave your mark. This is the identity certificate for several Taoist friends and will be effective for five years."
"It is a communication token. At the same time, you will need this token to move around in the academy and open various places in the next five years."
"Your results for this assessment have been recorded. You can go directly to claim your rewards and the resources the academy has prepared for you later."
Speaking of this, Qian Daheng smiled and said:
"I wish the four fellow Taoists to make progress along the way, successfully ascend to immortality, and strengthen the power of our Supreme Realm."
After expressing his gratitude, Zhou Qing imprinted his divine thoughts into the token. This was a magical tool that contained some information.
After recognizing the master, the information was automatically transmitted to Zhou Qing, explaining many situations of Tai Shang Academy and their future arrangements.
At this point, you are already considered a member of the Supreme Academy.
Finally got in!
