Chapter 501: Chapter 229: First Arrival in Jizhou, Nine Dragon Saint, True King Tianwu (Part 3)

However, in alchemy, he took a wild path, and coupled with his proficiency in Feng Shui, his requirements for the environment were not too high. This was the reason he could carry the pill furnace on his journeys without affecting the process.

"Once this pill of third grade is refined, the experience points should be sufficient, the cultivation technique level will break through, and the divine soul should undergo some transformation first. With the cultivation technique breaking through early, the real realm breakthrough won’t be so difficult."

...

Half a month later.

Morning.

The daylight was bright.

Xu Guang opened his eyes, feeling refreshed; although the cultivation technique hadn’t broken through, after long-term fusion with General Wei’s divine soul, in the practice within the four seas, the divine soul had slightly transformed.

A sense of control never felt before emerged.

At a quarter past 7:00 AM.

Outside Jingchen Pass.

Furious waves struck the rocks, rolling up layers of white waves.

A huge square crowded with a mass of people stood like a black expanse.

There were far more people than Xu Guang anticipated, at least over ten thousand.

There were too many people from the land of Hongze; demon hunters directly or indirectly affected the Great States, numbering over a hundred.

From these Great States, usually, people would come, even if only a hundred were sent from each state, there would still be over ten thousand.

Standing among the crowd, Xu Guang felt a sense of déjà vu evoking memories of past examinations. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

A sound pierced the clouds and skies, and Xu Guang saw the cloud-piercing vessel.

Following that, a dragon roar resounded, and the eastern sky suddenly turned fiery red; a most noble vehicle was rushing from afar. The carriage was luxurious, with carved dragons and painted phoenixes, faint echoes of path sounds, pulled by nine legendary fire dragon horses, beings capable of competing with a Martial Artist of Nirvana and those of the Four Secret Realms when matured.

The nine dragon horses soared across the sky, with an aura oppressing everything. The whole firmament seemed unable to withstand the aura of the nine dragon horses, becoming intensely heated, a scene on the verge of collapse.

"It’s the Nine Dragon Saint from East Penglai!"

"Nine dragons pulling the carriage, truly majestic."

"That cloud-piercing vessel is also the esteemed vehicle of the True King, a renowned demon hunter."

"Nine Dragons, long time no see, still so flamboyant."

A voice rang from the cloud-piercing vessel.

The aura above the Nine Dragon carriage gradually converged, followed by a wild burst of laughter.

"I’ve cultivated for eight hundred years to reach today’s level, if not a bit flamboyant, wouldn’t the years of pretending be in vain."

The expressions of many examination personnel became peculiar.

This Nine Dragon Saint’s way of speaking...

However, upon pondering, it makes rather strange sense.

During weak times, who hasn’t pretended to be humble? If a Saint doesn’t boast, could they naturally love to act humble?

Many here contemplated that someday, if they became Saints, they’d be even more boastful than the Nine Dragon Saint.

The arrival of two big figures naturally wasn’t to play any gentlemanly games, just to inspect them and flex some muscles.

Saint-level power, regardless of which Great State, is certainly at the top tier.

Xu Guang suddenly thought of the university principal in a previous lifetime, perhaps the highest-ranking person a college student would encounter in a lifetime. These two before them might as well be the strongest individual most present here would ever have the luck to witness in their lives.

As the two figures entered the cloud-piercing vessel, inspection envoys descended from it.

Among these inspection envoys, Gu Shuo seemed to hold the highest status; he spoke on behalf of everyone.

"The assessment is about to begin, and I will announce the rules."

"Under Jingchen Pass, a Demonic Country is suppressed. Before entering, choose your target demon based on your realms, and earn your assessment scores by the number of targeted demons you slay. Except for Exotic Beast partners linked by divine soul, no assistance from others or cheating is allowed. Your every move will be clearly observed by the Demon Revealing Mirror. Violation of rules results in disqualification from assessment."

In Hongze, taming exotic beasts is a common method. Many sects even commit their lives entirely to exotic beasts; the beasts are an integral part of their strength.

In this aspect, Xu Guang has the aid of General Wei, gaining a certain advantage.
