Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 571 - 323: Trial Assessment

Lu Yu's routine.

During the day, he takes on missions and heads to the battlefield outside the domain to gain experience. At night, he stays in his room to practice the Seven Layers of Ice and Fire, doing his utmost to cultivate his Qi Blood to the furthest limit.

This regular lifestyle has continued for twenty days.

Five days ago, Wei Long went into seclusion to refine Divine Soldiers. There's been no news from his secluded place, and Lu Yu and the others are unsure when he will emerge.

However, everyone is not idle, they are doing everything possible to enhance their own strength because the moment Wei Long comes out, it means they will participate in the Celestial Tier team's promotion trial.

On this day, Lu Yu walked out from the bedroom and was stunned as soon as he reached the door; there was a person sitting in his private living room.

Before seeing this person, Lu Yu had no perception of their presence at all.

Upon seeing the person's appearance, Lu Yu felt relieved. The one who suddenly appeared in his room was none other than Zhao Tianjue, the Vice Hall Master of the Celestial Dao Hall at the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

The last time Zhao Tianjue appeared was when Lu Yu was in the Southern Border and was suspected to be a peerless genius comparable to the Sword God.

Even though it was just a suspicion, most forces would rather mistakenly kill than let go; in the end, what came in front of Lu Yu were just geniuses from various forces who wanted to make a name for themselves.

No high-level assassins appeared because Zhao Tianjue took action and wiped out those who didn't follow the rules.

The Southern Border was already dangerous, and a few people going missing was normal, plus Zhao Tianjue left no trace. Even if there were traces, those weaker than him wouldn't be able to discover them.

In short, the things Lu Yu did in the Southern Border were covered up.

Lu Yu stepped forward and greeted, "Hall Master Zhao."

Zhao Tianjue nodded slightly and said, "No need to be formal."

"I came this time to ask you whether you are willing to represent the Divine Weapon Pavilion in the Star Selection of the Demon Star?" Zhao Tianjue asked.

"Star Selection of the Demon Star? What is that?" Lu Yu asked in confusion.

Zhao Tianjue said, "The Star Selection of the Demon Star is a battle of genius on a monster-level that occurs once every twenty years. The victor has the chance to obtain sacred-level Cultivation Techniques and Divine Techniques."

"That's secondary. Most importantly, monster-level geniuses have the opportunity to obtain treasures that enhance their natural aptitude on the Demon Star."

"Your strength is not as weak as before; you already have a certain ability to protect yourself. It's time to show the world your power; a pearl cannot remain dusty forever."

"Moreover, you have already been to the battlefield outside the domain, and you should have gained some insights after returning."

"Cultivating in the Divine Martial World is far easier than outside because the world's power in the Divine Martial World is bestowed upon you, bringing you closer to the Heavenly Dao, making cultivation yield twice the result with half the effort."

"The endowment of the world's power is greatly related to fame and reputation. The more people know about your power and deeds, the stronger the endowment you receive, and the faster and easier your cultivation."

"Participating in the Star Selection of the Demon Star is a great opportunity for you to make a name for yourself."

After hearing this, Lu Yu remained silent for a moment, quickly contemplating. Now, his Qi Blood growth is approaching the limit, but there is still a considerable distance from breaking through to the Iron Bone Realm.

Relying solely on accumulated experience would be too costly, seriously affecting the pace of his strength improvement.

The Demon Star provides an opportunity for monster-level geniuses to take another step forward, which is what intrigues Lu Yu.

Cultivation aptitude is almost predetermined, but the Star Selection of the Demon Star contains treasures that can change innate aptitude.

If nothing else, enhancing his physical cultivation talent slightly would considerably increase his Qi Blood limit, making a breakthrough to the Iron Bone Realm just around the corner.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu did not hesitate and said, "I am willing to represent the Divine Weapon Pavilion in the Star Selection of the Demon Star."

After speaking, Lu Yu asked, "Should I go now?"

Zhao Tianjue looked at Lu Yu and smiled, "No need to rush, I'll notify you when it starts."

His figure gradually faded, disappearing from the seat, and before entirely vanishing, he tossed out a notched round shield emblem. His voice came from where he disappeared.

"Keep it safe; this is your ticket to the Star Selection of the Demon Star."

Lu Yu glanced at where Zhao Tianjue disappeared, then looked down at the round shield emblem in his hand.

The entire emblem showed a dark purple color, with a crescent-shaped notch on the left side. Though the crescent was a bit chunky, nearly a circle, it was still recognizable as a crescent, not a piece cut off a circle.

There were no patterns on the emblem, only the natural texture of the material from which it was made.

Lu Yu squeezed it hard, finding the emblem's hardness to be beyond imagination; even with full strength, he couldn't leave a mark.

He placed the emblem into his backpack and headed to the door. Opening the door, he stood by the corridor and saw everyone from the Green Peng team sitting in the hall below.

They were chatting as if they hadn't noticed that just seconds ago, there was another person in Lu Yu's room.

Zhao Tianjue came and went without a trace, evoking a sense of the mysterious, seen and then forgotten like a dragon appearing just once.

Lu Yu walked towards the stairs; everyone else was waiting for him to arrive to start the meeting.

If nothing unexpected happened, the content of this meeting should be about the Celestial Tier team trial.

Originally, when Lu Yu agreed to participate in the Star Selection of the Demon Star for Zhao Tianjue, he was still pondering how to explain it to the others.

After all, the Celestial Tier team trial concerns everyone's interests; leaving at this time is somewhat selfish, unconsidering of others' feelings.

However, now he doesn't have to worry about this issue. From Zhao Tianjue's attitude, it seems there's some time until the Star Selection of the Demon Star, enough for him to complete the trial and then leave.
