Chapter 438 Three Tests



After the news that the imperial capital of the Xia Dynasty was going to hold a banquet for cultivating immortals and invite heroes from the world of cultivating immortals spread, more and more cultivators came to the Xia Dynasty.

Although it was not the organizer of this event, it was just fortunate enough to be chosen as the venue for the immortal cultivation feast, and the Xia Dynasty could not remain silent.

In the imperial capital where every inch of land is valuable, Emperor Xia issued a decree to relocate a part of the people and to replan a palace as a residence for the practitioners who would come here.

If you follow the speed of mortals, no matter how fast you are, it may take years to build a palace.

But the Xia Dynasty now has practitioners. In the absence of war, if these practitioners themselves were to participate in construction, the efficiency would be greatly improved.

In addition to being used for fighting, magic can also be used for production. As long as the power is controlled well, it will naturally have many wonderful uses.

For example, the seismic technique can be used to loosen the soil or to consolidate the soil, and the effect is absolutely outstanding.

The imperial capital of the Xia Dynasty is undergoing construction again. For this feast of cultivating immortals, the Xia Dynasty is willing to spend a huge amount of money. If they can win the favor of some immortals and have them recruit a few more disciples, that would be a great thing.

In addition to the newly built palace, the Tianxia Academy, which had been used for several discussions during the Xia Dynasty, also started to move. Although this immortal cultivation feast was inviting all the heroes, the heroes were naturally divided into different levels.

The newly built palace is prepared for those famous leaders in the world of immortal cultivation. As for the people from ordinary small sects, although they cannot get in, they still need to be given a place for them to gather. The Tianxia Academy, as a place for discussing Taoism in the past, can still make use of its remaining vitality.

And taking advantage of this time, the young new emperor finally decided on the reign title.

Glory.

After the sage king Wang Mang, and after Emperor Chengping and Emperor Qizhi, the fourth emperor of the Xia Dynasty chose the reign title Guangyao.

From now on, this Emperor Xia should be called Emperor Guangyao.

The ambition of choosing "Guangyao" as the reign title is self-evident.

Even in the world of cultivating immortals, one must bring glory to the family and spread the reputation of the Xia Dynasty! For the Xia Dynasty today, everything still needs to start from scratch and accumulate slowly, but from a mundane perspective, the Xia Dynasty has indeed achieved an extraordinary level, and can even be favored by immortals.

The emergence of a mid-grade spiritual vein beneath the imperial capital of the Xia Dynasty at this time was an extremely good sign. Once the mid-grade spiritual vein was fully formed, it would be enough to support a powerful Jindan cultivator.

Once the Xia Dynasty really has a golden elixir in its stead, it will have some say even in the world of immortal cultivation, and will no longer be treated as a stronger mortal dynasty.

The dramatic changes in heaven and earth brought not only destruction, but also countless opportunities.

It’s just that the weak do not have the ability to seize the opportunity. Just like the countless dynasties that have fallen apart, they can only retreat again and again under the demands of the immortal cultivators. The spiritual veins that appear in their own land have nothing to do with them.

The Xia Dynasty already had the qualifications to come to the fore. Even if a mid-grade spiritual vein appeared in the Xia Dynasty, no one dared to rob or covet it.

The blood shed was not in vain.

Today, the Xia Dynasty serves as a bridge of communication for the cultivators who come to the Source Heaven Realm, and it is also a great opportunity to promote itself.

It is visible to the naked eye that more and more immortal cultivators are coming to the imperial capital of the Xia Dynasty, and many inns have been requisitioned by the royal family and used directly as exclusive guest rooms for immortal cultivators.

It’s not that the Xia Dynasty favored one over the other, but allowing cultivators and ordinary people to live in the same place was itself unfair to ordinary people.

If an ordinary person accidentally says something that displeases the immortal cultivator, he won’t even have to use the knife to kill him.

There are cases where someone is walking upstairs and suddenly falls headfirst to the ground and dies, or someone is eating and suddenly chokes to death, or even someone falls into the toilet in the middle of the night and drowns. You can't even find evidence for such things.

The laws of the mortal world are like a joke to immortal cultivators, and the Xia Dynasty today does not have the ability to be looked up to by immortal cultivators. Even though it has benefited from the influence of the 'God of Transformation' and is no longer troubled by others, people still do not have much respect for it, and are more of a curiosity.

Under such circumstances, the best way for the Xia Dynasty to deal with it was to take the initiative to separate the two. This was not a compliment to the strong, but a protection for the weak.

Otherwise, it would be too ridiculous to put lions and rabbits in the same area and say that they can compete fairly and rely on their own abilities.

Even in this immortal cultivation event, theoretically all cultivators can participate, but even in the Tianxia Academy, not all immortal cultivators can go there whenever they want. They have to build a foundation at the lowest level before they are eligible to enter.

As for Qi training?

I’m sorry, but I’m at the bottom of the cultivation world and am only fit to stand outside as a spectator, just listening to the noise. I don’t even have a chance to express my own opinions.

After all, this is the first grand event for cultivators to cultivate immortals after arriving at the Source Heaven Realm, so it is of quite a grand scale.

The capabilities of the Xia Dynasty as a secular dynasty alone are not enough to cope with this level of immortal cultivation. Even if they try their best, they can't do well, and it's already not easy to not embarrass themselves.

But it doesn’t matter, there are plenty of people who want to sponsor it.

Being able to become the host city is in itself a great ability.

Among them, Si Mingguan of the Wanfa League has the advantage of being close to the water and the moon. He once funded the Xia Dynasty and represents the power of the Wanfa League. He has a strong foundation and is very likely to have a close connection with the nine immortal sects behind the scenes.

As early as when the news spread, Si Mingguan of the Wanfa Alliance made a prompt decision to take charge of all matters concerning the Tianxia Academy. Xia Chao didn't need to worry about it at all, as the Wanfa Alliance had plenty of manpower and spiritual materials.

The Xia Dynasty only needed to provide the land, and the Wanfa Alliance would take care of everything else, whether it was setting up formations or rebuilding the Tianxia Academy with spiritual materials.

Of course, after all the efforts, it is reasonable to put more products of the Wanfa League at this Xiuxian Feast, right? No one can say anything! As for the real feast that can influence the future trend, it is far from easy to enter.

Apart from some famous cultivators who can get invitations directly, other practitioners who want to gather with those true geniuses and talents need to go through the tests of Luo Qingyin, the Saintess of Hehuan Sect, Ying Yao, the Saintess of Tianji Sect, and Zhen Chi of Tianyan Sect.

There are three kinds of tests. Those who pass Luo Qingyin and Zhen Chi's tests will be eligible to participate, or those who pass Ying Yao's "test" alone can also join.

Don’t ask why Ying Yaoyao is different from others, it’s because she is the Holy Maiden of Tianji, it’s that simple.

As the inviters of this immortal cultivation feast, these three are naturally qualified to screen the guests coming here. Even if everyone does not know each other before, they have to give people a chance.

Even if you really can't get in, you can't complain.

As for the test items, they were thrown openly not far from the gate of the Xia Dynasty's imperial capital. Any cultivator who thought he had some skills could go in and give it a try.

The test for the formation maniac is, of course, a formation. It looks like just a circle, but it is the size of a manhole cover. After the cultivator steps into it, he will be considered to have passed the test if he does not walk out of the circle within half a quarter of an hour.

The test for Hehuan Sect's Saint Luo Qingyin is a guqin with five strings. Those who can pluck the five strings in succession and make musical sounds will pass.

It doesn't sound difficult or tedious.

As for the test that the Holy Maiden of Tianji Sect accepted Yao Yao to take, it was the simplest one.

A heavenly talisman for crossing the world and two seals for revealing the world were placed there openly.

Anyone who wants to give it a try just needs to walk up to it and see if the Heavenly Talisman of Crossing the World or the Seal of Manifesting the World reacts. If there is no reaction, it will be considered a failure.

If the tests of Zhen Chi and Luo Qingyin at least had some connection with cultivators, then Ying Yaoyao's test was completely arbitrary.

But there is no way, who let her be the Saint of Tianji? Tianji didn't give you a chance, can you blame her? And the most popular among the majority of cultivators is precisely the test arranged by Ying Yao.

This does not waste time, and you only need to stand in front and you will know the result in an instant. If you are lucky, you can get the qualification easily.

It's a pity that, so far, no one has been able to pass the test of Ying Yao's invitation.

On the contrary, there have been several people who have passed the tests of Zhen Chi and Luo Qingyin one after another. Although they did not receive direct invitations from the three chosen ones, they still have some reputation in the world of immortal cultivation, which is not particularly surprising.

In the 167th year of the Xia Dynasty, the sun was shining brightly.

In the imperial capital of the Xia Dynasty, many places were decorated with red and green, which was quite festive. Petty officials patrolling the streets could also be seen.

At this time, the time for the Immortal Cultivation Feast to begin is not far away.

One year is enough time for many practitioners who are willing to participate in this spiritual practice event to arrive.

The nine great immortal sects all have their chosen ones, and each of them is a pillar of the younger generation.

Although the so-called immortal cultivation feast had not yet begun, those people had already gathered together, and the only thing left was the final scheduled time.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The Wanfa League sponsored the second-rate immortal cultivation event at the Tianxia Academy, and the Wanfa League could not intervene in the event that really involved the pride of heaven. The nine major immortal sects had plenty of resources, and no one lacked that much, so why did they need outsiders to help? The buildings around the Gu family courtyard had been temporarily requisitioned - fortunately, during the Wang Mang period, the surrounding area had been acquired by the court, so it did not disturb others.

With the former small courtyard of Huashen Tianjun as its center, this event is obviously not simple.

Taoist Gu Dan finally walked out of the inn. He changed his appearance, wearing a simple black robe, and turned into Kong Zhai again.

Naturally, he would participate in this event.

Now he can walk in the world openly, without any worries, free from all ties, and can naturally do what he wants.

But of course he didn't get an invitation, and he still needs to qualify himself.

Not far from the gate of the Xia Dynasty's imperial capital.

A large group of cultivators with nothing to do stayed here all day, watching everyone who came to try.

Occasionally, someone would be recognized and discussed, or talk about his or her various deeds in the world of immortal cultivation - the fact is that immortals are also human beings and they also like to join in the fun.

In addition to these, one year has passed and no one has passed the test invited by Yao.

No matter who was standing in front of the Heavenly Talisman for Crossing the World and the Seal for Manifesting the World, no one reacted at all, which even made people suspect that Ying Yaoyao was playing a joke on everyone and threw a few decent-looking stones there.

But when Gu Dan arrived here, there were still many people at the three test locations. Needless to say, the crowd with the longest queue was where the strings of the zither were arranged by Luo Qingyin, the Saint of the Hehuan Sect.

The reason is simple. Zhen Chi's test will take a certain amount of time, Ying Yao's test only requires people to stand there, and the test of the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect is also extremely quick.

If you can't pass Luo Qingyin's test, there's no need to waste time trying Zhen Chi's test. Anyway, you have to pass both of them to get the qualification.

Except for those who just want to try it out.

"The Immortal Cultivation Feast is about to begin. Those who are idle should not waste time. Those who cannot pass a test will retreat on their own. Those whose cultivation is below the foundation building level will also retreat on their own. There is no hope at all."

Before the three tests, there were still people maintaining order.

Of course, Xia Chao couldn't be the one to do this somewhat offensive job, so he had to let Zhen Chi's disciple Liu Qingming do it.

Even for the sake of his master, no one dared to argue with him.

After all, there is no point in holding a grudge against someone who is not even qualified to take the test.

He had only recently come here to maintain order, so that talented people would not miss this opportunity, and also to discover good talents.

These three tests were set up for more than a year, and only a dozen people actually passed two of the tests. As for the test of the Holy Maiden of Tianji, the entire army failed. Zhen Chi even tried it secretly himself but failed.

Obviously, that test depends entirely on fate and has nothing to do with one's own strength.

It can only be said that it is in line with the style of the Tianji Sect.

After Gu Dan arrived here, he went to the back and started queuing in an orderly manner.

Although there were many people in front, they were walking very fast. Most of them were mediocre foundation-building cultivators who came here simply to try their luck. What if they passed? People with this idea were naturally quickly screened out.

Gu Dan paid attention to the attempts of the people in front of him and found that most people could pluck two strings at most, very few could pluck three, and occasionally there were even people who could only pluck one string.

Anyone who plucks a string will be met with boos and sarcasm.

"You got promoted purely by taking elixirs, right? You dare to come up and try, you medicine jar?"

"It's embarrassing and a waste of time."

"Whose disciple is this? This kind of person wants to pass the test of the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect? You toad, don't even look in the mirror."

There were all kinds of mocking voices, and it was obvious that the crowd around had already known what this test was about after a long period of summary.

It’s useless to just know it. If you can’t get through it, you can’t get through it. You can only rely on your own hard power.

As the monks in line ahead of him failed one after another, it didn't take long before it was Gu Dan's turn.

After transforming into the appearance of Kong Zhai, his looks could only be considered decent, and with the White Lotus Concealing Heaven Technique concealing his own charm, he looked quite ordinary, the kind of person who wouldn't even need a second glance if thrown into a crowd.

Liu Qingming just followed the instructions and said, "Those who pluck five strings will pass, and those who fail will leave on their own."

"OK."

Gu Dan chuckled and walked to the guqin.

The body of the zither is ancient and dark red in color, with a phoenix carved on it. The five strings are made of an unknown material, but their colors are different, which perfectly matches the five elements.

Gu Dan stretched out his hand and gently plucked the first earth-colored string from bottom to top. (End of this chapter)
