Murong Liyue was slightly taken aback upon seeing this. She hadn't expected Qin Luo to ignore her calls and step directly into the magic array. In her expectation, Qin Luo would at least stop and listen to what she had to say.
However, she quickly regained her senses, turned to look at Dean Wan Xuan, bowed slightly, and nodded to him in farewell.
Then, she took a deep breath and stepped into the Lingyuan Sect's formation. Light flickered within the formation, and her slender figure gradually disappeared into the teleportation array...
Lingxiao Plain is one of the many regions in the Lingyuan Continent, and it is also one of the five assessment points of the Lingyuan Sect this time.
The entire Lingxiao Plain was filled with rich spiritual energy. Under such a high concentration of spiritual energy, towering trees rose from the ground, like giant pillars supporting the heavens and the earth, blocking out the sun.
Deep within the Lingxiao Plain, one can see numerous powerful demonic beasts exuding immense auras. Their roars, like muffled thunder, echo throughout the Lingxiao Plain, sending chills down one's spine.
At the heart of Lingxiao Plain, a towering pillar stands, seemingly the core hub of this world.
The pillar soared into the clouds, its surface covered with ancient and mysterious runes, radiating a ghostly blue light.
Surrounding this pillar are several enormous floating stone platforms. These platforms are arranged in a ring around the pillar, each resembling an island floating in the air.
From a distance, these floating stone platforms and the towering pillars complement each other, creating a truly spectacular sight.
As a gentle breeze blew by, a beam of light shone from the stone platform. Then, more and more lights flickered on the platform, and as the frequency of the flashes increased, figures appeared out of thin air.
These figures were initially just blurry outlines, but in an instant, their shapes gradually became clearer.
A young swordsman in a blue robe carrying a long sword; a young girl in gorgeous clothes; and a burly man with a strong physique...
"As expected of the Lingyuan Sect, the concentration of spiritual energy contained in this assessment venue alone is much richer than that in the Xia Domain."
Looking at the vast scene before him, Qin Luo said with some emotion.
Immediately, Qin Luo's gaze fell upon the stone platform in front of him, his eyes scanning through the crowd. Carefully observing the people around him, he was surprised to discover that nearly 100,000 people had gathered on this single stone platform.
Those people stood on the stone platform, some whispering among themselves about the upcoming assessment, some nervously making their final preparations, and others curiously observing the unfamiliar faces around them.
The light around the stone platform continued to flicker, and with each flicker, new figures would appear out of thin air.
This left Qin Luo somewhat shocked, and he couldn't help but look into the distance again. This look made his pupils shrink slightly.
There were at least ten more stone platforms like this in the distance! These huge stone platforms were like islands floating in a sea of clouds, surrounding this towering pillar.
He quickly calculated in his mind: if each stone platform had nearly 100,000 people like the one in front of him, wouldn't that mean that the Lingyuan Sect's assessment alone had a million participants? This number thundered in his mind, making him realize the sheer scale of this assessment.
Just as Qin Luo was shocked by the astonishing number of people, the flashing light finally stopped.
However, the next moment, the pillar that had been standing quietly in the center began to move.
The pillar began to emit a dazzling blue light. The blue light did not light up slowly, but surged out from every corner of the pillar without warning, like a surging tide.
The blue light spread rapidly, enveloping the entire pillar in the blink of an eye. Then, countless streams of light shot out from within the pillar, now filled with blue light. These streams of light, like arrows, flew towards the group on the stone platform at unimaginable speed.
They shot onto everyone's wrists with lightning speed, the whole process so fast that no one had time to react.
Qin Luo was no exception. The moment the light collided with his wrist, a piece of information quietly surfaced in his mind.
Lingyuan Sect Assessment Time: 15 days
Required score to pass the assessment: 700
Points are awarded as follows: 1 point for each Spirit Vortex Realm monster hunted, 3 points for each early Soul Contract Realm monster hunted, 5 points for each mid-Soul Contract Realm monster hunted, 10 points for each late-Soul Contract Realm monster hunted, and 100 points for each early Spirit Control Realm monster hunted. (The same applies to the grade of medicinal herbs obtained.)
When a score reaches 1000, the location of the 'reward' will be displayed. When 1000 cultivators have a score of 1000 or more, the assessment will enter the countdown early. At that time, cultivators who have not reached 700 will be directly eliminated.
In addition, points can be obtained not only by hunting monsters, but also by plundering other cultivators!
After processing this information, Qin Luo looked at the level mark on his arm. The level mark represented a score of 0-100, and subsequent levels followed the same pattern.
"It seems that the different starting scores are given according to the level of cultivation."
Looking at the pitiful 50 points in the mark on his hand, and then at the faint level two mark on the arm of the young man carrying a long sword on his back not far away, Qin Luo said helplessly.
"This assessment, lasting only 15 days, is like a brutal survival competition. The 700 points required to pass is no easy feat for anyone." Qin Luo frowned slightly, silently calculating in his mind.
