Chapter 42: Tai Shang

Three days later.

After a long journey, Bai Donglin and his party from Tiegu Sect finally arrived at the main city of this area.

There are no national dynasties in the wilderness; all of the vast land is ruled by huge main cities.

It is similar to the city-state system of ancient Greece in the previous life, but these main cities are all affiliated with the Jidao Holy Sect, and the city lords are all disciples of the Holy Sect, and they are considered peripheral forces of the Holy Sect.

The area of ​​the wasteland is too vast. Even those who were born and raised in the Iron Bone Sect don’t know how many people there are and how many ancient cities there are.

Looking at the towering Taishang Main City in front of him, a vast, ancient atmosphere came to his face, and Bai Donglin was shocked. This is too majestic! The city walls, which are thousands of feet high, are all made of huge piles of black iron. The surface is covered with inscriptions and magic arrays. It is extremely hard, and the passage of time has left no traces.

The main city of Taishang is too huge. The city wall stretches for who knows how many miles, and there is no end in sight. We only know that the permanent population of this main city exceeds 400 million, so it should be very large.

There were no guards at the city gate, and when the Jidao Holy Sect's disciple-recruiting ceremony was held, people could enter and leave freely.

Bai Donglin followed the crowd and walked through the nearly three hundred-foot-long city wall. The width of the city wall was also astonishing.

There was a forbidden flying formation over the main city, and except for the official disciples of the Holy Sect, no one else could fly. So even the most powerful cultivators had to walk honestly.

No one in the Wilderness dares to disobey the rules set by the Holy Sect. It can be said that the Jidao Holy Sect is the heaven of the Wilderness and the dozens of surrounding realms! The rules of the Holy Sect are the rules of heaven!

As soon as we entered the city, we heard loud shouts all around:

"All those who want to take the test, gather here and go to the test location through the teleportation array!"

Bai Donglin turned his head and saw that there was indeed a huge teleportation array on an open ground, which was already full of young people who were going to take the test.

Bai Donglin and several young men from Tiegu Sect who were taking part in the assessment said goodbye to everyone and then walked towards the teleportation array together.

Bai Donglin was originally not qualified to take the test. The Tiegu Sect had five recommended places, but unfortunately one of the disciples died in an attack by a ferocious beast, so this place was given to Bai Donglin as a way of repaying him for saving his life.

This means that those who can now come to the main city to take the assessment have already gone through countless screenings!

After the staff outside the array verified his identity, Bai Donglin successfully stepped onto the teleportation array.

Taishang City is truly wealthy and powerful. Although the main city is huge, it does not require a teleportation array to travel. It seems that these main cities are extremely cautious about the affairs of the Holy Sect.

Before stepping into the teleportation array, Bai Donglin felt a wave scanning his body. According to the people from Tiegu Sect, this was the first test to check whether the examinee was under 20 years old.

The Jidao Shengzong's disciple-recruiting ceremony is held once every twenty years, and anyone under the age of twenty can participate.

Bai Donglin is only fourteen years old this year, so of course there is no problem. Even if his soul is checked, no clues can be found. He is a genuine reincarnation, and his soul is special and not afraid of any kind of spying.

After the teleportation array was full of people, the array started to work, a white light flashed, and Bai Donglin and others appeared in a huge square.

The square was packed with people, but it was extremely quiet, with no one making any noise.

There were many women in uniform in the crowd that attracted Bai Donglin's attention. Each of these women was holding a child in her arms. The children were of different sizes, ranging from newborn babies to children a few months old.

Bai Donglin thought about it and understood what was going on. If these children had to wait for the disciple-taking ceremony in twenty years, they might be over twenty years old, so someone was sent to carry them for assessment.

The backgrounds of these babies are not simple. Ordinary families certainly don’t have this treatment, nor is there any need because there is almost no possibility of passing the assessment.

The babies who were able to come in for the test had special blood, their ancestors had great figures, and they had the possibility of awakening special physical qualities.

As long as one has a special physique, one can pass the test directly, so even a baby can try his luck.

As the teleportation array lit up again and again, more and more people appeared in the square, and it was gradually filled up. Bai Donglin estimated that there were more than 100,000 people.

At this moment, a young man suddenly appeared on the stands in front. He had a handsome and ethereal temperament, a smile on his face, and looked like a very gentle person.

The young man glanced at the already crowded square, nodded with satisfaction and said:

"I am one of the supervisory examiners sent by the Jidao Saint Sect to the Taishang Main City. I am now in charge of the examination of the 25th examination room in the Taishang Main City. Please abide by all the rules of the examination. If you violate them, you will be expelled immediately!"

"The assessment officially begins now! Activate the bloodline and constitution sensing array!"

As soon as the man finished speaking, a huge formation covering the entire square was instantly activated.

Countless golden runes jumped and flowed, and a burst of golden light submerged everyone.

Bai Donglin only felt the golden light flowing through his limbs and bones. Every cell particle was sensed by the golden light one by one, and then it seemed as if it sensed nothing and slowly left his body.

I breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, immortality and damage reversal, these two abilities were not some kind of heaven-defying physique, but something more advanced that transcended the conceptual dimension.

He had expected that the golden light would not reveal anything. He did not want to expose his biggest secret just for a mere test. There was no need to do so. He could easily pass the test based on his strength.

At this time, there were changes in the square. Strange phenomena began to appear on several people's bodies. This was because their special physical constitutions were stimulated!

Everyone's physical appearance is different, and Bai Donglin has no knowledge in this area, so he can't tell what the physical condition is.

The formation slowly stopped working, the golden light converged, and the first test was over. A total of seven people were found to have special physiques, four of which were from those babies and little kids! Everyone in the square looked at the people who had awakened their physiques with envy. This was a step to heaven, and they had surpassed them by a lot!

Bai Donglin nodded secretly. It turned out that physical constitution was more of a bloodline passed down from generation to generation.

It is still very rare for ordinary people to have physiques that mutate and return to ancient times.

Seven people with special physiques were taken away on the spot. They no longer needed to undergo the next assessment because they were already disciples of the Holy Sect. Geniuses receive special treatment wherever they go.

A large number of children and babies in the square also left the square. Since they did not have special physical conditions, they could not pass the next test, so they had no choice but to retreat. It can only be said that they were born at the wrong time.

The young man in the stands nodded with satisfaction. Having seven special physiques was quite good. This ratio was already very high. He then spoke again:

"Only true geniuses can join Jidao Shengzong! But there are too many of you! Too many! Jidao Shengzong does not need so many people!"

"Activate the Heavy Rock Formation, the Will Pressure Formation! The 100 people who hold out to the end will pass the test!"

"The second test begins!"

Buzz——

With two buzzing sounds, two huge formations, one gray and one red, were activated, like two huge rune halos, covering more than 90,000 people in the square! Bai Donglin only felt his body sink, as if gravity had increased, and he also felt a sense of pressure coming in his mind. However, this level was just a breeze for him, and he did not feel any discomfort.

As time passed, the power of the magic circle became stronger and stronger, ten times gravity, fifty times gravity, and a hundred times gravity.

When the gravity reached 100 times, some people could no longer hold on. It was equivalent to a 100-kilogram person carrying 10 tons of pressure, and it was acting on every cell and every organ! Coupled with the destruction of the 100-fold pressure in their minds, these people who could hold on until now were geniuses who were qualified for the assessment! When the formation was strengthened again, more than half of the people fell down. In an instant, the formation flickered, and those who failed were teleported out.

The formation continued to grow stronger, reaching a gravity of two hundred times, with only ten thousand people left.

Three hundred times the gravity, and there are still a thousand people left.

Five hundred times the gravity, there are still three hundred people left, Bai Donglin began to practice his skills.

The last three hundred people left are definitely the elite among the elites, both physically and mentally!

Unfortunately, they only had a hundred people, and the formation continued to grow stronger. The gravity directly affected every cell. Fortunately, Bai Donglin's enhanced energy strengthened every part of his body at the same time, without any flaws or loopholes.

It can be said that he has taken advantage of this assessment method. Even if other cultivators have begun systematic practice, it is impossible for them to strengthen every cell in their body to the same perfection as him.

And his willpower has been tempered by so much pain, it can be said that his will is tougher than his body! Bai Donglin estimated that he should be able to withstand a thousand times the gravity, a thousand times the standard atmospheric pressure, and about a hundred tons of pressure acting on his whole body.

When the gravity increased to six hundred and sixty-six times, finally, the one hundred and first person couldn't bear it and fell down.

At the same time, the formation stopped working, the second test ended, and the remaining 100 people passed the test.

This assessment method also illustrates very well what the two most important things are for physical cultivation.

The body and the will! (End of this chapter)
