Simultaneous travel: Shared Chaos Body at the beginning

Chapter 232 Two Stages, Five Trials
In the center of the Tianyuan Continent, the majestic and imposing Heavenly Court headquarters floats in the air, exuding an aura of grandeur, exactly the same as the Heavenly Court of the three thousand Dao states in reality.

Outside the Heavenly Court headquarters, on a clean and spacious plaza paved with white jade, a giant teleportation array is set up.

The teleportation array lit up with bursts of brilliant light, like ripples on water, as tens of thousands of young prodigies who had passed the registration and reached the Blood Transformation Realm of 100,000 Extreme Realm or opened up ten Cave Heavens in the Cave Heaven Realm were teleported here.

"This is the legendary headquarters of the Heavenly Court!"

Many young prodigies looked up and were deeply shocked by the grandeur of the Heavenly Court.

"My dear friends, now that you have all arrived, please follow me into the Heavenly Court."

A handsome young man with an extraordinary demeanor descended slowly from the sky, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

"My name is Qin Changsheng, the Immortal Celestial Venerable. In this battle of geniuses across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, I will serve as your guide."

"The Immortal Celestial! This is a top-tier sect leader who has actually made a personal appearance."

Upon learning the young man's name, some exceptionally talented and knowledgeable young prodigies couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.

The fact that a top-tier sect leader was merely a guide demonstrates the power of the Heavenly Court and the importance it places on this battle of prodigies.

Led by Qin Changsheng, the group of young prodigies entered the South Heavenly Gate and arrived inside the Heavenly Court.

Along the way, these young prodigies, regardless of their status, looked around like turtles entering a dragon palace, marveling at the magnificence and grandeur of the Heavenly Court.

"If you can make it into the top 100 of the Heavenly Pride Battle, this will be where you will be in the future," Qin Changsheng said at the opportune moment.

Upon hearing this, the group of young prodigies couldn't help but breathe slightly heavier, their desire to rank among the top 100 in this battle of prodigies growing even stronger.

"This place is really nice!"

Shi Hao was also greatly impressed. Even though he had seen many magnificent city buildings on the Tianyuan Continent, compared to the Heavenly Court, they were all as simple as earthen huts and not worth mentioning at all.

The Heavenly Court is so vast that even a sect leader would need a long time to travel to just one corner of it.

Moreover, the Heavenly Court is filled with countless array formations and restrictions; even a supreme being would perish if they recklessly trespassed.

Fortunately, Qin Changsheng is now a member of the Heavenly Court and is acting on orders, so he has no obstacles along the way.

He led a group of young prodigies through a teleportation array to the Trial Pavilion, one of the three thousand pavilions on the outskirts of the Heavenly Court.

The Trial Pavilion resembles a straight, sharp sword piercing the sky, exuding a sharp and incisive aura.

The attic has ninety-nine floors, each with a different shape; some are triangular, others are cylindrical, making it quite unique.

"The Battle of the Prodigies is divided into two stages. The first stage is the selection stage, which involves entering the Trial Pavilion and passing five levels of assessments before having a chance to enter the second stage."

Qin Changsheng explained, "The second stage is to go to the War God Hall, one of the eight hundred treasure halls of the Heavenly Court, where they will fight in rotation. Those who rank in the top one hundred will become the key talents cultivated by the Heavenly Court, honored as holy sons and holy daughters, with high status and generous treatment."

After listening to Qin Changsheng's explanation of the rules of the Prodigy Battle, the many young prodigies present pondered for a moment. Then, following Qin Changsheng's instructions, they all entered the Trial Pavilion.

Shi Hao followed the crowd into the Trial Pavilion.

As soon as he stepped inside, he suddenly felt as if the world had shifted, and then he was transported alone to a mysterious space.

This mysterious space was black and white and very spacious, with a transparent screen projection in front of him.

"Shi Hao, welcome to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Prodigy Battle. The first stage of this Prodigy Battle is divided into five levels of assessment."

"These are the identity assessment, physical body assessment, primordial spirit assessment, comprehension assessment, and combat power assessment. Only by passing all the assessments can one have the opportunity to enter the second stage."

"Are you ready to participate in the first stage of the assessment?" "I am ready," Shi Hao replied.

"The first test begins."

The cold, mechanical sound echoed in the space, and then a beam of divine light appeared from above, shooting towards Shi Hao.

Instantly, his physical body in reality became as clear and transparent as glass, and the source of his physical bloodline and the thoughts deep within his primordial spirit were all thoroughly investigated.

The identity assessment has two parts: first, to examine whether the physical body and bloodline are legitimate of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; and second, to examine the thoughts deep within the primordial spirit, whether there is a heart to betray the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

The Heavenly Court recruits and trains prodigies to enhance its own strength, and the resources and manpower invested are enormous.

If among the prodigies cultivated there are traitors lurking from other realms or dark beings, such as Wang Changsheng, then it is undoubtedly an act of aiding the enemy.

The damage it would cause would be immense, and it must never be allowed.

Therefore, identity verification should be conducted at the very beginning to completely eliminate this possibility.

"Your identity assessment has been passed. You are now a legitimate member of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths lineage and may continue to participate in subsequent assessments."

After the divine light scan, Shi Hao's identity was determined. He passed the first test and could proceed to the second test of physical strength.

Upon hearing the result, Shi Hao breathed a sigh of relief and then began the second test: the physical assessment.

At the same time, the other young prodigies who entered the Trial Pavilion, like Shi Hao, entered a black and white space to undergo identity assessment.

When Ning Chuan, the six-time champion, saw that the first test was actually an identity test, his expression became uncertain.

After hesitating for a moment, he took a chance and proceeded with the identity verification.

Divine light shone upon him, penetrating his consciousness and appearing on his physical body in reality.

Soon, he heard a piercing, strange noise.

"Beep! Beep! The physical body contains dark blood, and the mind harbors rebellious intentions against the heavens and earth. This person is a spy of the dark alien race. Eliminate them immediately!"

The entire black and white space suddenly turned crimson, shrouded in an ominous aura, from which a strong killing intent burst forth.

"not good!"

Ning Chuan's expression changed drastically. He had thought he was well hidden and that no one would ever discover his true identity.

But unexpectedly, it was here that the dark bloodline within him was easily detected.

Even the deepest part of one's primordial spirit, the true thoughts about the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, can be completely explored.

"The Heavenly Emperor Xia Yi, just who is he? His methods are far too terrifying!"

Ning Chuan was drenched in cold sweat, a deep sense of unease gripping his mind.

He attempted to sever the connection between this wisp of thought and his own body, hoping to use this to block the murderous intent here from finding his true form.

But in the end, he was horrified to discover that this wisp of thought was beyond his control and could not be severed.

The divine light that had been probing his bloodline suddenly shifted from a peaceful and warm aura to a cold and murderous one.

The divine light penetrated his consciousness and descended upon his physical body, causing his physical body and primordial spirit to be completely annihilated and disappear, no matter how much he struggled, it was all in vain.
