This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

Three months later, the atmosphere in Qingyun City reached its peak.

Before dawn that day, more than a dozen long queues, stretching as far as the eye could see, had already formed outside the main gate of the Holy Temple in Lingze Blessed Land.

Everyone craned their necks, eagerly anticipating their turn.

However, at the same time, most people also looked somewhat uneasy.

I'm worried that I won't even be able to get past this first hurdle.

After all, you have to pay one hundred Crimson Spirit Coins to participate in the assessment.

One hundred Crimson Spirit Coins could be exchanged for at least 100,000 taels of silver.

If an ordinary person received this money, it would be enough for them to live a life of luxury and comfort.

But here, all you can get is a qualification for the assessment.

If it fails, all those 100 Crimson Spirit Coins will be wasted.

Standing in the line on the east side of the south gate of the temple was a boy who was dressed plainly, looked ordinary, and seemed completely unremarkable.

He stood in the line, and no one's gaze lingered on him for even half a second.

The people waiting for testing around him whispered among themselves, but no one thought to say a word to him.

However, if someone makes eye contact with him, they will find that this seemingly ordinary boy has a power in his eyes that seems to see through people's hearts.

Without a doubt, this person is Li Daoxuan.

After more than three months of contemplation, I naturally entered the realm of the supernatural power of transformation and rebirth.

Not only this supernatural power, Li Daoxuan also took the time to master two other supernatural powers. One of them was called Nine Breaths Breath Absorption, which allowed him to absorb and exhale innate primordial energy and restore his magical power at an extremely fast speed.

Once mastered, one's internal magical power will be inexhaustible and never run dry.

There is another supernatural power that is very famous, known as "scattering beans to create soldiers".

This supernatural ability needs no further explanation; its meaning can be understood from its literal translation.

The reason Li Daoxuan was able to master both of these supernatural abilities was mainly due to the merit points from the system.

He didn't know why, but since arriving in the Xuanhuang Great World, the system's merit points had increased at a much faster rate than before in the Jingming Cave Heaven.

He could tell that these merit points mainly came from Qingfeng and the others' improved cultivation and good deeds.

But in just over a year, the growth rate has exceeded the accumulation of the previous five or six years.

Li Daoxuan even had some doubts: Could it be that the Xuanhuang Great World also has an amplifying effect on the growth of merit?

In any case, increasing merit is always a good thing. It will not only make Qingfeng and the others' cultivation less hindrance and allow them to receive more favor from heaven and earth, but it will also give him, their master, greater help.

Without much thought, Li Daoxuan used his merits to assist in comprehending supernatural powers.

His current ordinary boyish appearance is the result of transformation through fetal metamorphosis.

At this moment, he had completely transformed into a young man.

This wasn't a trick; he had completely transformed into the appearance of an ordinary young man.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The team participating in the testing moved very quickly, with almost no one stopping, and walked step by step into the temple gates.

However, most people would come out through a side door on the other side shortly after they went in.

Everyone who came out looked dejected.

Some people even broke down in tears, crying out how difficult it was for them to collect those 100 Crimson Spirit Coins, and hoping that the Holy Sect would give them another chance.

But his response was only the cold, hard sword of the palace gate guard.

Soon, Li Daoxuan also entered the palace gate.

Passing through the long corridor of the doorway, at the other end of the doorway stood a small door less than ten feet high. A faint light emanated from inside the door, and whenever someone walked through it, a magic circle would light up beneath it.

Li Daoxuan noticed that the magic circle was only white after most people walked past it.

Only a few people will have other colors, such as green or blue.

Only those who display a different color will advance to the next round.

This thing looks just like the security gates at train stations or airports in my previous life, except this one is used to check qualifications.

Li Daoxuan released his divine sense and swept it across the door, immediately figuring out how it worked.

The so-called qualification test is actually a comprehensive evaluation of a person's qi and blood, physical constitution, age, meridian resilience, dantian potential, and other aspects.

Those who pass the test will have their magic arrays glow at least green, those who are more outstanding will have blue, and those who are even more advanced will have purple or gold.

However, so far, Li Daoxuan has only seen blue at most.

The substandard ones are white.

However, looking around, Li Daoxuan discovered that those white-clad eliminated individuals were not entirely useless; many of them actually had considerable potential.

However, the Qingyun Sword Sect is the supreme holy sect within this area of ​​several thousand miles, and their requirements for selecting disciples are naturally far beyond the ordinary standards.

After figuring out how the magic array worked, Li Daoxuan began to adjust his physique and use his absolute mental power to control the magic array in return.

Since green is enough to pass the test, Li Daoxuan doesn't need to be too flamboyant.

The line moved forward step by step, and it wasn't long before it was Li Daoxuan's turn.

The moment he stood under that door, a wave of energy swept over his entire body.

Li Daoxuan activated his mental energy to adjust his physical body and blood circulation.

The magic circle beneath my feet flickered slightly, shifting between green and blue.

It finally stopped on the green one.

The disciple standing to the side, responsible for recording, glanced at it and said indifferently:

"Passed level, proceed to the next level."

Having said that, he ignored Li Daoxuan.

Li Daoxuan walked forward along the white jade-paved road and arrived at the next palace.

As soon as I stepped inside, I heard a voice from within:

"You lot, your physical aptitude is barely passable, and your sword comprehension is below average. I'll give you a choice: either stay in the Holy Sect as menial servants, or go to one of the seven branch sects as an outer disciple. If you can reach the fourth level, you can be promoted to an inner disciple of a branch sect."

The speaker was a deacon from the Holy Sect. Li Daoxuan glanced at him; his cultivation level was only at the fourth level, which wasn't high.

After a moment's hesitation, those who were being lectured made their own choices.

Some chose to branch out into different clans, while others remained in the main clan.

Li Daoxuan was still watching all this with great interest when suddenly someone shoved a book into his hand and said indifferently:

"Half an hour to comprehend it, and half an hour later, you will be tested."

After saying that, he ignored Li Daoxuan.

Li Daoxuan smiled, opened the book in his hand, and found that it was actually a sword manual.

The text describes a sword technique, which is not particularly advanced, but it is still much better than the sword techniques commonly found in the martial arts world.

Li Daoxuan glanced at it and couldn't help but sigh:

"If this sword manual were to be passed down to the Jingming Cave Heaven, it could probably become a treasured heirloom of a major sect..."

The difference between the small world of the cave and the great world of Xuanhuang is not just in spiritual charm and energy.

And then there's the profound heritage of this martial arts tradition.

Li Daoxuan only read it once, but he memorized all its contents.

With his eyes closed and a little contemplation, this sword technique became flawless. Even the person who created it might not be as strong as Li Daoxuan in its execution.

After finishing his study, Li Daoxuan began to observe the other participants in the assessment.

He discovered that if someone with green talent from the previous level wanted to be selected to enter the final level, their understanding of this sword technique had to be at least at an intermediate level.

Otherwise, they would be relegated to menial tasks or assigned to other branches of the clan.

If the previous level eliminated 90% of the people, then this level will eliminate at least 99.9%.

In half an hour, many people can't even memorize the entire sword technique, let alone comprehend it.

Those who were relegated to menial tasks were at least able to perform complete sword techniques, which already showed they had excellent comprehension.

"No wonder the Azure Cloud Sword Sect has stood strong for thousands of years. With such high standards in selecting disciples, all the geniuses in this region have entered the Azure Cloud Sword Sect. It would be strange if it weren't powerful..."

Li Daoxuan sighed inwardly.
