"Great and virtuous teacher!" Monk Zhiyi said to Zhang Jue, "Can you recognize these billions of stars?"
Zhang Jue was not at all concerned about the suppression of his magic weapon. When he heard the question from Monk Zhiyi, he sat down in mid-air without any concern.
When Monk Zhiyi saw that Zhang Jue didn't answer, he smiled calmly, then made a hand gesture, pointed at Zhang Jue and said, "Suppress him!"
'boom'
Following a shout from Monk Zhiyi, the ancient elephant of a sky full of stars that had evolved suddenly shook, and then billions of starlights rushed straight towards Zhang Jiao. The power was so immense that even the immortals watching on the circular platform of Rotten Peach Mountain felt extremely oppressed.
Facing the mighty power of billions of stars, Zhang Jue slowly raised his hands and formed seals in front of his chest.
But at the moment when Zhang Jiao formed the seal, an extremely bright light suddenly emanated from his body. That light instantly illuminated the entire ancient starry sky, and made the celestial stars evolved from the ancient Prajna image in front of him pale in comparison.
Of course, along with the ancient star image, the starlight emitted by billions of stars was also eclipsed. They were all swallowed up by the scorching light from Zhang Jue's body.
Inside the ruined world, the Pearl-holding Dragon Girl and Monk Zhiyi closed their eyes. Outside the ruined world, the monks on the circular platform of Rotten Peach Mountain also closed their eyes, because the light was too dazzling.
After an unknown amount of time, the blazing light finally began to dissipate gradually. As the blazing light dissipated, the immortals finally saw the situation in the remnant world clearly.
It was seen that the stars in the sky evolved from the ancient Prajna elephant of Monk Zhiyi had been completely annihilated, and the three of them once again appeared in the desolate mountains of the ruined world.
But Monk Zhiyi had already collapsed on the ground, his face pale and his body trembling slightly from exhaustion.
Zhang Jiao was still sitting cross-legged in the air. He raised his eyes slightly, waved his sleeves, and his Taoist robe fluttered in the wind.
"The myriad stars are not as bright as the brightness of a single day!"
After Zhang Jue finished speaking, he lightly waved his sleeves and landed at the edge of the spring. He flipped his right hand and a spirit seed appeared in his hand.
The Dragon Girl Holding the Pearl's expression changed slightly when she saw this scene. She immediately took a step forward and flew out to stop them. However, just before she flew less than a hundred feet away, a blazing light suddenly appeared out of nowhere and instantly shone on the Dragon Girl Holding the Pearl.
The next moment, a puff of white smoke rose from the body of the Dragon Girl holding the Pearl, and her flesh was directly scorched by the light. Fortunately, the Mani Pearl suddenly released a divine light, which immediately dispelled the scorching light. The Dragon Girl holding the Pearl flashed with spiritual light, and the scorched flesh fell off in an instant.
The dragon girl holding the pearl regained her previous beauty that was as white as snow.
But despite this, the dragon girl holding the pearl had lost a lot of momentum and her aura was much weaker.
"What a powerful Taoist method." The dragon girl holding the pearl said in a serious tone.
At this moment, Zhang Jue had already planted the spiritual seed, and the outcome was already decided. The dragon girl holding the pearl sighed slightly, but still put away the Mani Pearl. Then, she bowed to Zhang Jue and said, "Congratulations, great and virtuous teacher."
Monk Zhiyi also managed to stand up from the ground, bowed to Zhang Jue and said, "Congratulations, fellow Taoist."
Three beams of immortal light descended, instantly leading Zhang Jiao and the other two out.
In the blink of an eye, Fang Jian had already led everyone onto the circular platform and announced, "The Taiyi Xuanxian assessment is over, and the winner is Zhang Jiao of the Taoist sect."
The Taoist practitioners immediately burst into laughter, and the surrounding monks also congratulated Zhang Jue from afar.
After Zhang Jue thanked Fang Jian and returned the greetings to the immortals, he returned to the Taoist monks.
At this time, the Dragon Girl holding the Pearl also came to the Taoist practitioners and returned the Zhenwu Sword and the Peach Wood Sword to Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Jiao.
Finally, Fang Jian came on stage and announced, "The Taiyi Xuanxian test is over. Fellow Taoists, please go back and rest. The Golden Immortal and Taiyi Golden Immortal tests will begin tomorrow."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, the cultivators were shocked. The Taoist Fairy Su Yu immediately asked, "Master Hongqing, are you saying that the Golden Immortal and Taiyi Golden Immortal tests will begin at the same time tomorrow?"
Fang Jian nodded and said, "Not bad."
Upon hearing this, all the Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals present fell silent. Fang Jian then spoke again, "If you fellow Daoists have nothing else to do, please go back and prepare."
After saying that, Fang Jian was the first to leave the circular platform and led all the people in the Heavenly Court back to the Heavenly Court residence.
The rest of the immortals also dispersed one after another after Fang Jian left, and soon the entire circular platform became deserted.
...
The Heavenly Palace’s headquarters, inside the main hall.
Lin Jingcao, Ao Ding, Huang Ling, Feng Yan, Huang Meng, and Huang Ying stood in front of Fang Jian, looking somewhat ashamed.
"Master Hongqing, we have failed the trust of Heaven. We were eliminated right after entering the assessment. We are truly ashamed." Lin Jingcao said to Fang Jian with a frustrated look on his face. The other people also had faces full of shame.
Fang Jian couldn't help but smile when he heard this. He said, "Victory or defeat doesn't make a hero. The six of you are, or will be, pillars of Heaven. Don't let this little setback defeat you."
After saying that, Fang Jian pointed to the pot of spiritual tea on the table beside him and said, "I'll punish you by making you drink a cup of spiritual tea each."
Hearing Fang Jian's words, the six people couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but under Fang Jian's gaze, they stepped forward one by one, each poured a cup of spiritual tea and drank it.
After drinking a cup of warm spiritual tea, the six people felt a little better.
At this time, Fang Jian continued, "It would be great if you could obtain the Divine Tomb Dao Chuan, but it doesn't matter if you can't. Victory and defeat are determined by fate, so why bother with it? Now that your assessment is over, you can rest in peace in Rotten Peach Mountain. Eat when you need to, drink when you need to. Don't let a momentary victory or defeat affect your Daoist resolve. You still have a long way to go."
After hearing Fang Jian's words, the six people's worries were relieved. They exhaled a breath of foul air, and then bowed to Fang Jian with a relaxed look, saying, "Thank you, Master Hongqing."
