Luck entry, starting from the Nine Dragons' succession

Chapter 201 The entire Path of Inquiry into the Heart is in complete chaos.

Upon hearing this, everyone, whether from humble or aristocratic families, showed a deep sense of tension.

If it's a second-round test of military strategy, then the scions of noble families can be confident and prepared.

The third test of their conscience made them groan inwardly.

A test of one's character?
Doesn't this hit their weak spot?
Most scions of aristocratic families rely on elixirs and miraculous medicines to improve their cultivation levels.

In terms of character, they are naturally inferior to those from humble backgrounds who cultivate themselves diligently.

Many scions of prominent families had long been cursing Lin Qihe and the Right Chancellor to the bone in their hearts.

A treacherous minister has ruined the country!
With Lin Qihe's order, regardless of their feelings, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and embark on the path of self-examination.

The Path of Inquiry is not located in the Central Plains, but in a small, secret realm.

Lin Qihe directly opened the entrance to the secret realm in the Wenyuan Pavilion, allowing all the examinees to enter.

"Intervening in a secret realm is far more difficult than in the Great Qian Dynasty."

"However, this time, the ones secretly watching are the sect leaders of the ten major Dao Courts."

"If they want to intervene secretly, there's probably no way to stop them in a small, secret realm."

Lin Qihe watched as the group of examinees entered the Path of Inquiry, and felt a secret worry in his heart.

Given the importance that the Ten Great Dao Courts place on an invincible body, it would be strange for Lin Qihe not to intervene.

I hope Your Majesty is prepared in advance.

Lost in thought, Lin Qihe glanced subtly in the direction of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The incarnation only felt a flash of white light before his eyes, and then the world changed.

When he came to his senses, he had already arrived at the Path of Inquiry.

Looking around, all he could see was a vast expanse of white, like an impenetrable fog that blocked his view, making it impossible for him to see the other examinees.

"It doesn't matter, we'll just keep going up and get straight to the top!"

He chuckled softly to himself, testing people's character—that was something he excelled at!
Those who take drugs are not as good as those who work hard and cultivate themselves.

But how can those who work hard and cultivate themselves compare to those who have a cheat code?

Fortunately, I'm the one with the cheat code!

As you embark on the Path of Inquiry, you encounter a beautiful fox spirit, dressed in a pink gauze dress, wagging her fluffy tail, her eyes captivating and alluring.

"Young master, come here!"

"I've been waiting for so long!"

A soft, seductive melody emanated from the fox-woman's red lips, her breath sweet and delicate.

If someone is not mentally strong, they might easily fall into the other person's trap of tenderness.

The avatar steadied itself and quickly activated the power of the [Pure Heart] destiny.

With the blessing of the "pure and clear mind" destiny, inner demons are warded off.

The fox woman before him suddenly looked like a punctured doll, utterly unsightly.

"Humph--"

"A mere demoness dares to disturb my mind?"

The avatar snorted coldly, swept past the fox woman, and walked upwards.

No matter how the fox woman pleaded and begged from behind, she could not shake the will of the incarnation.

As you ascend, all the fantasies that arise along the way are exposed as flaws in the face of the "Pure Heart" destiny, and cannot slow down your ascension to the top.

In less than ten breaths, he reached level 100.

Then, without batting an eye, he continued upwards.

It took about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to reach the top of the five hundred steps.

"Is this the originally planned summit attempt?"

"That was easy!"

The avatar sighed, "According to the original plan, only five hundred steps of the Path of Inquiry will be open."

For most of the candidates for the top ten Dao Courts, reaching the top is a piece of cake.

Everyone reached the top, and without a doubt everyone won, so their invincible spirit remained unshaken.

However, Lin Ying's death introduced a new twist to the matter.

After pondering for a moment, the avatar put the matter out of his mind and continued upwards.

The path of self-examination is divided into small stages, with each hundred steps representing a stage. The inner demons in each subsequent stage are much stronger than those in the previous stage.

When he stepped onto the 501st step, the avatar was still a little cautious.

only……

Looking at the vicious and murderous Li Dingguo in front of him, the avatar felt only boredom.

"That's it!"

"The immersion is problematic!"

The avatar shook its head and did not fight the illusory Li Dingguo. Instead, it swept its divine sense over the area, composed itself, and walked straight over.

The power of the "Heart as Pure as Ice" destiny far exceeds the expectations of its incarnation.

On the path of self-reflection, it's practically a killer weapon.

The illusion may seem perfect, but under the "Pure Heart" destiny, the incarnation can easily detect its flaws.

This slight flaw, though seemingly minor, greatly impacts the immersive experience, instantly making the character feel pulled out of the story.

Once you break free from the illusion and realize that what you're seeing is fake, your inner demons and fantasies will crumble on their own.

After Jiang Pojun climbed the five hundred steps, he secretly observed the sect leaders who were taking the third test, his face terribly gloomy.

"This child's temperament is terrifyingly monstrous!"

It's not that the sect leaders lack vision or are easily surprised. It's just that Jiang Pojun's performance was truly astonishing and left everyone speechless.

While their carefully cultivated candidate was still at two hundred steps, Jiang Pojun had already climbed five hundred steps.

How can this compare?
They're not even in the same league!

After climbing five hundred steps, Jiang Pojun did not slow down his ascent at all, as if the illusions of inner demons in the Path of Inquiry had no effect.

This made the sect leaders of the ten major Dao Courts restless.

Taixu Zhenjun frowned as he watched Li Qingya being pulled further and further away, muttering to himself.

He had activated the fortune of nine generations, yet he was still no match for a refugee.

This……

Taixu Zhenjun didn't know whether Jiang Pojun's talent was too monstrous or Li Qingya was simply hopeless.

However, the Qiankun Sect had placed a heavy bet on Li Qingya and could not stand by and watch him fail.

Li Qingya had already experienced setbacks within the Heavenly Sword Palace.

It seems that he later solidified his invincible mindset.

However, Master Taixu knew that once the rift existed, it would exist forever.

It looks fine now, but that's just a cover-up. Once it fails again, it will surely erupt all at once.

At that point, it won't be so easy to solidify one's invincible mindset.

Thinking of this, True Lord Taixu secretly activated a secret technique, sending a wisp of his magical power to penetrate into the Invincible Path.

The journey of self-examination is fraught with challenges for all test takers.

However, for a top cultivator like True Monarch Taixu, it was as easy as walking on flat ground.

The magical power he separated shot straight towards Jiang Pojun on the Path of Inquiry.

However, before they could even get close to the incarnation...

This magical power suddenly vanished without any warning.

Sensing the annihilation of his magical power, Taixu Zhenjun's expression changed slightly, and his eyes revealed an unyielding anger, like a volcano about to erupt.

"Emperor Yuanchu!"

Taixu Zhenjun suppressed the fierce shout in his throat, not allowing himself to make a sound.

The magical power he just unleashed was annihilated by the Primordial Emperor.

However, apart from True Lord Taixu, the other sect leaders of the Dao Court also looked grim.

Clearly, they also wanted to interfere with the Path of Inquiry, but they were all stopped by Emperor Yuanchu.

Upon noticing this, True Lord Taixu frowned and secretly pondered a countermeasure.

The Path of Inquiry was the domain of the First Emperor.

If it weren't for the home advantage, Emperor Yuanchu alone would absolutely not be able to contend with all of their sect leaders at the same time.

Just as Taixu Zhenjun was pondering a solution, suddenly, a storm arose in the Path of Inquiry.

A thick stream of magical power surged toward Su Yuntian.

This powerful magic was clearly from the hands of Earth Mother True Lord, the sect leader of the Earth Mother Palace.

"Damn Mother Earth!"

Although Su Yuntian was just a cover, existing to protect Li Qingya.

Even if it's just a facade, True Monarch Taixu still has to protect him. If he lets it go unchecked, it will be discovered immediately that Su Yuntian is not a true candidate for the Qiankun Sect.

Taixu Zhenjun hurriedly activated his cultivation technique, sending a wisp of his magical power into the Path of Inquiry to secretly engage in combat with Dimu Zhenjun.

This time, Emperor Yuanchu did not stop them, but instead stood by and watched the spectacle of the infighting among the ten Daoist courts.

Emperor Yuanchu was fully aware of the Earth Mother True Lord's decision.

With the fall of Lin Ying, a candidate for the Earth Mother Palace, the Earth Mother Palace only has two paths to choose from.

First, if I can't have it, none of you can have it either.

If all the other candidates for the Invincible Body fall, then there will be no winner.

This would allow the cultivation of an invincible body to be delayed until the next imperial examination.

Second, we need to find another candidate.

Cramming at the last minute is not an easy thing, but... Jiang Pojun's appearance gave the Earth Mother Palace a small but significant opportunity.

Recruit Jiang Pojun and help him become invincible.

For the Earth Mother Palace, this is the second method.

Therefore, how should the Earth Mother True Lord choose between the two methods?

Only children make choices, adults want them all.

He wants both methods!
On the one hand, they created obstacles for other Daoist sects, on the other hand, they protected Jiang Pojun and accelerated the pace of recruiting him.

With the sudden intervention of the Primordial Emperor and the sudden defection of the Earth Mother True Lord, the situation became extremely chaotic.

The tacit understanding between the ten major Daoist courts vanished at this moment, and they were happily plotting against each other.

Even if our own people cannot become invincible, we cannot let others succeed.

Taixu Zhenjun noticed the chaotic situation, his brows furrowed, forming a deep frown, and he felt a deep resentment in his heart.

Emperor Yuanchu was indeed a great ruler, quite a formidable opponent.

If the Great Void Myriad Phenomena Bell hadn't malfunctioned, would he have been held back by this group of insects?

The Great Void Myriad Phenomena Bell is a top-tier treasure of the void in the world.

Among all the magical treasures, it may not be the best in terms of killing, but in terms of controlling the void, it is definitely the best in the world.
