In the immortal mansion of Xuan Hua Emperor Lord, Shangguan Yaochi was nervously flipping through a thick classic book of immortal arts. Her brows were furrowed, clearly preparing for the upcoming preliminary exam in the immortal realm.
Xuan Hua Emperor Lord walked in and, seeing her appearance, couldn't help but furrow his brows. "Yaochi, why are you so nervous?"
Shangguan Yaochi raised her head and gave him a wry smile: "Master, this exam is crucial for my promotion to the intermediate immortal. How can I not be nervous?"
Xuan Hua Emperor Lord replied calmly: "The exam is just a process, what truly matters is your own cultivation."
Shangguan Yaochi After listening, my heart felt warm, but then I thought about the severity of the exam, and couldn't help but feel more anxious.
Xuan Hua Emperor Lord Seeing her unease, he walked to her side and gently patted her head: "Don't worry, as long as you work hard, you will definitely have good results."
Shangguan Yaochi nodded, and the pressure in his heart eased slightly.
The day of the exam has finally arrived. Shangguan Yaochi stands within a huge fairy formation, surrounded by immortals who have come to take the exam.
The first part of the exam is the application of fairy spells, and the examiner is a seemingly serious middle-aged immortal.
"The first round, begin!" the examiner announced coldly.
Qingyun stepped forward first. He waved his hands and a flame shot up into the sky, but it quickly extinguished shortly after rising.
The examiner said coldly, "You failed."
Qingyun's face turned pale and he walked back with his head down.
Zixia walked out and sang lightly. A huge fairy lotus emerged from the ground and slowly bloomed.
The examiner nodded slightly, "Pass."
Shangguan Yaochi stepped forward, took a deep breath, and began to perform the celestial art she had learned. Suddenly, a celestial flower appeared in her hand, and its petals slowly opened to reveal a small waterfall surrounded by celestial energy.
The examiner looked on, his eyes brightening slightly, but then returned to being indifferent. "Pass."
The second stage of the exam is the application of the immortal sword. This time, the examiner is a seemingly kind old immortal.
"The second round begins!" The old immortal announced with a smile.
Qingyun stepped out once again. He drew his immortal sword, but his hand trembled, causing the sword to slip out and nearly injure the immortal in the audience.
The old hermit shook his head and said, "You failed."
Qingyun's face turned even paler as he walked back in silence.
Zixia emerged, her immortal sword moving like a spiritual serpent as she skillfully weaved through the virtual enemies, ultimately defeating them successfully.
The old immortal chuckled, "Pass."
Shangguan Yaochi then drew out her immortal sword and began to battle a virtual enemy formed by immortal energy. Her swordsmanship was agile, and each strike precisely hit the target.
The old immortal watched, smiled, and seemed very satisfied with her. "Pass."
The third stage of the exam is a test of mental state, and this time, the examiner is none other than Xuan Hua Emperor Lord.
Shangguan Yaochi Seeing him, my heart was startled, but soon calmed down.
Xuan Hua Emperor Lord Looking at her, he said lightly, "The third test is a test of your state of mind. You need to face your deepest fears and doubts. Are you both ready?"
Qingyun walked out. But for some reason, he seemed unable to enter the illusion and ultimately failed.
Xuan Hua Emperor Lord said coldly, "You failed."
Qingyun was on the verge of collapse, but quietly returned.
Zixia emerged, having successfully entered the illusion and successfully faced her inner fears and doubts.
Xuan Hua Emperor Lord nodded slightly: "Pass."
Shangguan Yaochi took a deep breath and said firmly: "It's my turn."
Xuan Hua Emperor Lord nodded, then performed a fairy spell, bringing her into an illusion.
In this illusion, Shangguan Yaochi saw herself, still a lotus fairy grass.
"Why do you want to become human? Why do you want to practice the immortal way?" asked the lotus fairy grass.
Shangguan Yaochi looked at it, feeling a moment of confusion, but then remembered the teachings of Xuan Hua Emperor Lord, and said firmly, "Because I want to become stronger, I want to protect the people I care about."
After hearing the lotus fairy grass, she smiled slightly, then turned into a beam of light and disappeared.
Shangguan Yaochi returned to reality and saw Xuan Hua Emperor Lord standing in front of her.
"Congratulations, Yaochi, you have passed all the levels," said Xuan Hua Emperor Lord calmly.
After hearing this, Shangguan Yaochi felt excited. "Of course, that's because I have a good master."
Xuan Hua Emperor Lord looked at Shangguan Yaochi and smiled slightly in his heart.
The atmosphere of the exam is becoming increasingly intense. The remaining forty or so participants in the ginseng competition each stand in their respective fairy formations, nervously awaiting their chance to perform. Among them are several particularly eye-catching fairies.
Feng Qingyang, a seemingly carefree young fairy, demonstrated an astonishing wind technique in the application of fairy arts, causing the entire venue to become tense. The examiner smiled slightly and said, "Pass."
Shui Yao, a beautiful female immortal, wields a fairy sword as fluid as water, agile yet elegant. In the application of her fairy sword skills, she successfully defeated virtual enemies, but appeared hesitant during the mental assessment and ultimately did not pass.
Lei Ting, a male immortal with a thunderous presence, unleashed a heart-stirring thunder technique in the application of fairy arts, but failed in the application of fairy sword due to being too impulsive.
Yueshea, a mysterious female immortal, has performed remarkably well in all assessments, but always maintains a consistent aloofness, making it difficult for others to understand her.
These immortals each have their own strengths and weaknesses, but they have all demonstrated their achievements and potential in the practice of immortality.
Xuan Hua Emperor Lord stood aside, silently appraising these young immortals in his heart. He looked at Shangguan Yaochi and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
The final assessment is the Immortal Realm Journey, and all candidates who have passed must participate together.
Xuan Hua Emperor Lord smiled and waved, and a light gate gradually formed in front of everyone.
"This is the Immortal Fantasy Realm, a virtual world created by advanced immortal arts. Here, there are various environments and creatures, making it extremely suitable for assessing the cultivation level of immortals." Xuan Hua Emperor Lord explained in detail to all the examinees.
"In this fantasy realm, there is a type of low-level demon beast called the 'Spirit Winged Bat.' Your task is to defeat one of them and obtain its tooth as proof of completing the assessment. Please note that you only need to defeat one."
Xuan Hua Emperor Lord once again emphasized, "Please pay attention, the mission is to defeat a single 'Spirit Winged Bat', do not provoke an entire group. After successfully defeating one, take its teeth as proof, and then leave the Fairyland. Once you come out and show the teeth, we will know that you have completed the mission."
Shangguan Yaochi and the other examinees entered the light gate and were immediately shocked by the scenery inside the Fairyland. It was as if it were a miniature version of the fairy realm, with towering mountains, sparkling lakes, colorful flower seas, and various strange and bizarre fairy beasts.
But what's even more amazing is that all of this is formed by the condensation of immortal energy, just like a living, breathing world.
"It's truly incredible, everything here seems so real," Shangguan Yaochi exclaimed.
"The space here is created by immortal energy. Although it is not real, it is very useful for cultivation," said Xuan Hua Emperor Lord.
Shangguan Yaochi knew she didn't have much time to appreciate and cultivate, she had to quickly defeat a "Spirit Wing Bat" monster to pass the level.
She walked along a small path for a while, suddenly heard the sound of wings flapping, immediately raised her alertness, and tightly grasped the fairy sword in her hand.
Before long, a spirit-winged bat with wings spanning over a meter and a completely black body appeared in front. Shangguan Yaochi didn't hesitate at all, immediately swinging her sword at it. The spirit-winged bat seemed to sense the danger and hastily took flight, dodging her attack.
"It seems I shouldn't underestimate you." Shangguan Yaochi thought to herself, then launched another attack.
This time, she didn't just rely on swordsmanship, but instead used a simple fairy technique - Wind Blade.
A wind blade formed by immortal energy flew out and directly hit the spirit-winged bat.
After the spirit-winged bat let out a miserable cry, it fell from the sky. Shangguan Yaochi quickly moved, walked to the side of the spirit-winged bat, carefully took out its teeth, and then put them into the storage bag.
As she was about to pass through the light gate that appeared in front of her again, suddenly more flapping sounds of the spirit-winged bats came, accompanied by several desperate cries for help. Shangguan Yaochi rushed towards the direction of the sound without hesitation.
Shangguan Yaochi hurried to the source of the sound, and the scene before her left her speechless. At the entrance of a cave, three or four examinees were tightly surrounded by a large group of spirit-winged bats. Fear was evident on their faces, and their use of immortal arts appeared chaotic and disordered.
"No, these people didn't hear Xuan Hua Emperor Lord's words clearly, and actually attacked a whole group of Spirit Winged Bats!" Shangguan Yaochi felt a pang in her heart.
She immediately wielded her sword and cast a spell, a cold light streaked across the sky, knocking down several of the nearby Spirit Winged Bats.
But there were too many Spirit Winged Bats, and her fairy power was limited, so she quickly felt the pressure increase.
At this moment, a dazzling light descended from the sky, instantly dispersing all the Spirit Winged Bats in front of the cave entrance. Xuan Hua Emperor Lord and other divine examiners arrived solemnly.
"I've said it before, just defeat one is enough, why attack the whole group? This is the consequence of not listening." Xuan Hua Emperor Lord said coldly, then turned to look at Shangguan Yaochi, "You did well, coming back to save people, not leaving them behind and running away."
Shangguan Yaochi smiled slightly, but also felt a little uneasy in her heart, "Master, I almost..."
Xuan Hua Emperor Lord interrupted her and said, "There's no 'almost,' only results. You passed, and that's the result."
Shangguan Yaochi felt excited upon hearing this, but also understood that the path of immortal cultivation is filled with tests and dangers at every step.
Xuan Hua Emperor Lord looked at the other candidates and said, "The exam ends here. You can all go back now. Remember, the path of immortality cultivation is not child's play. If you find yourselves in danger next time, there may not be a teacher to save you in time."
After saying that, he waved his hand and cast a spell, bringing everyone out of the fairyland. Back in the real world, Shangguan Yaochi looked at the bat fangs in her hand, feeling a mix of complex emotions.
After the exam ended, the immortals in the audience began to discuss one after another.
"Xuan Hua Emperor Lord This disciple we've taken in this time does indeed have some skills."
"Yes, Xuan Hua Emperor Lord has always been known for his arrogance, rarely interacting with others, let alone taking in disciples."
"Yes, he has always been focused on the study of the heavenly principles and indifferent to external matters. The fact that he took on a disciple this time shows that the woman must have something special about her."
"However, the other candidates in this exam should not be underestimated, especially that Zi Xia, who has shown quite an outstanding performance."
"Uh, there were over forty people participating in the exam this time, which can be described as an unprecedented grand occasion. In addition to Shangguan Yaochi and Zixia, there were also several others who performed quite well."
"Yes, like that Feng Qingyang, his application of immortal arts is quite outstanding, but he is slightly lacking in the assessment of his mental state."
"Then there's Shui Yao, she performed quite well in the application of the Immortal Sword, but she didn't manage to pass the final level."
"Overall, this exam has seen the emergence of many promising young immortals, which is worth looking forward to."
"Yes, these young immortals will be the hope of the immortal realm in the future."
