Chapter 362: Entering the Heavenly Palace
Gao Mingyue, Wanqiu, and Xia Yan chatted in the room for nearly an hour before they got up and left. [Full text reading]
And Xia Yan also entered the Golden Dragon Hall near the restaurant again on the second day, and came directly to the Hall of Merit. This Hall of Merit is very similar to the registration method of the Mercenary Hall, but the requirements are much more demanding.
If you want to register as a Golden Dragon Guardian, you need to have at least the strength of a spirit master or above. Before registering, you need to fill in your personal information and wait for the strength test arranged by the Hall of Merit.
Only those who pass the test can officially become the Golden Dragon Guard.
However, Xia Yan has not been tested.
Xia Yan himself, with the Golden Dragon Order, only needed to register his information, and he got the special crystal scroll of the Hall of Merit, and he didn't even need to pay the cost of a hundred gold coins.
After registration, there is Xia Yan's information in the Hall of Merit, and Xia Yan's current merit is zero. In the middle of the hall of the Merit Point, there is a huge moving wooden plank with a hundred names on it.
These hundred names are the one hundred people with the highest merits on the Dragon Continent. The ranking is also based on the level of merit. The current Holy Emperor is ranked first, and his merits are more than 338,000.
And the second ranked merit is only more than 100,000 and 900.
Meritorious deeds will not be reduced after being exchanged for gold coins, but they will be displayed on the registration data.
What is the name of the Golden Dragon Guard, how many meritorious deeds are there, how many meritorious deeds have been redeemed, and how many meritorious deeds have not yet been redeemed, all of which are very clear.
On this huge movable plank, there are only the top 100 people in the meritorious ranks. If the Golden Dragon Guardian with the name on it dies, it will be removed from the plank, and the person behind will be pushed to the front.
After coming out of the Golden Dragon Palace, Xia Yan said for a few days, and almost never left the restaurant.
After these few days of cultivation, Xia Yan's injuries in the fierce battle with Wang Yu have almost healed.
As for the eight-grade Stored Spirit Pill, Xia Yan did not use it at this time, it was only less than four months since the last time he used the Stored Spirit Pill, and the medicinal effect of the Stored Spirit Pill had not been completely absorbed, so Xia Yan was not in a hurry to continue using the Pill.
...................................................... Seven days later!
Mr. Liu, come to the restaurant. When it was said that they were on the holy mountain, Mr. Liu said to the three of them that they would go down the mountain and take the three of them up the mountain to participate in the assessment after seven days.
As soon as Mr. Liu arrived at the restaurant, he took the three Xia Yan, who had been prepared, to climb the holy mountain again.
"There are a total of eight people who participated in the Tiangong assessment this time. Mr. Liu said on the way to the mountain.
"In addition to the three of you, there are five other people who are cultivators from outside the academy, and they have not cultivated in any academy. I've read the profiles of the five of them, and four of these five people are mercenaries, and they are all level 6 mercenaries with very rich combat experience. "Mr. Liu, I also hope that the people I recommend can enter the Heavenly Palace.
"Mr. Liu, every time you participate in the Heavenly Palace assessment, are there eight?" Xia Yan frowned and asked curiously.
Mr. Liu shook his head, "Not necessarily, there are seven or eight when there are few, and there are twelve or thirteen people when there are more." ”
Xia Yan nodded, and then asked, "Then why don't you recommend a few more people to participate in the assessment?"
If there are more people, the number of people who pass the assessment, although the probability is small, but the base is large, and the number of people who pass in the end may be more.
You must know that the number of people who pass the Tiangong assessment is not fixed, as long as the strength is reached and a little bit of necessary luck is added, you can pass.
Listening to Xia Yan's question, Mr. Liu smiled.
"Xia Yan, this recommendation is not a random recommendation, in front of the Holy Emperor, no one dares to be casual. Moreover, the assessment qualifications of this recommended personnel also need the approval of the Holy Emperor. Besides, Tiangong's resources are limited, and it is impossible for a large number of people to participate in the assessment. Mr. Liu looked at Xia Yan and said.
The four of them quickly climbed to the top of the holy mountain.
"I see!" Xia Yan nodded suddenly.
Mr. Liu was right, the resources of the Heavenly Palace were limited, and only the best people on the mainland could have the opportunity to participate in the assessment of the Heavenly Palace.
"Fang Kui. Mr. Liu turned his eyes to Fang Kui.
Fang Kui and Jiao Ziming didn't talk much all the way, and when they heard Mr. Liu calling themselves, Fang Kui hurriedly responded.
"You participated in the last Heavenly Palace assessment, you should have a lot of experience this time, you should try your best to pass. This is also your last chance to enter the Heavenly Palace. Mr. Liu said slowly.
Fang Kui's eyes flashed slightly, and he nodded solemnly, "Mr. Liu, I will do my best." Entering the Heavenly Palace, I dreamed very much that this time no matter what, I would do my best. ”
Fang Kui's muscles tensed, and there was a sense of confidence in his words.
Xia Yan frowned, and asked again, "Mr. Liu, are there really only two or three people who can pass the assessment each time?"
If this is the case, then the probability of passing the assessment is very low.
This time, eight people participated in the Tiangong assessment, and in the end, only two or three people could pass the assessment. Everyone else will face the fate of failure.
"That's right, I have been in the Heavenly Palace for decades, and I have passed the Heavenly Palace assessment more than a dozen times, but the most I have seen pass the assessment is only three people. That time, thirteen people participated in the assessment. Three people passed, and the remaining ten people were all eliminated. Mr. Liu said in a deep voice.
Those who are eliminated will soon be sent down the holy mountain.
"Pounce~"
Suddenly, Xia Yan felt that someone seemed to be approaching from behind.
On this holy mountain, there are usually no outsiders who come, and those who can climb the mountain are either people from the holy mountain or with the consent of the Holy Emperor.
Xia Yan felt that someone was approaching, and couldn't help but turn around to look.
Mr. Liu, too, felt that someone was catching up from behind, and his body was stunned and he looked back.
Xia Yan saw that there were a total of seven people who were catching up from behind, and they were quickly approaching their location, among them, two of them were older, and the remaining five people looked much younger, in their twenties or thirties.
"It's Zhang Patrol and Jane who patrol them, and they're so fast. As soon as Mr. Liu looked at the person, a strange smile appeared on his face.
Soon, those seven people arrived near Mr. Liu, Xia Yan and others.
"Hehe, Inspector Liu, are the people you recommended this time these three little guys?" One of the two older people on the other side said with a smile, his eyes swept over Xia Yan and the three. The man was slightly shorter, wearing a special dark yellow robe and sparse hair.
"Exactly. Mr. Liu smiled and said, "Inspect Jane, Inspect Zhang, why are you in such a hurry?"
Jian Patrol, Zhang Patrol and others are very fast in climbing. Mr. Liu took Xia Yan and the three of them up the mountain faster, but the speed of the seven of them was obviously much faster than that of Xia Yan's four.
"Hehe, we were down the mountain, and we saw you going up the mountain, so we caught up. The other inspector didn't have much expression on his face, and his voice sounded old-fashioned.
"Inspector Liu, let's go to the Heavenly Palace together. The inspector who spoke first said with a smile, "Hehe, Inspector Liu, the students who came out of the academy, even if their strength is not bad, it is difficult to pass the assessment of the Heavenly Palace." ”
According to the previous law, the number of students in the academy who passed the assessment was indeed less than that outside the academy. However, the number of people participating in the assessment in the college is far less than that outside the college. Just like this time, there were three people inside the academy, and there were five people outside the academy.
"Huh. Mr. Liu shook his head and smiled, and didn't say much, just said, "Let's go to the Heavenly Palace together." ”
The three inspectors, with eight people, rushed towards the Heavenly Palace.
The Heavenly Palace is on the side of the Emperor's Palace, and the area above this holy mountain is huge.
Passing around from the right side where ten o'clock was dangling, Xia Yan saw many different buildings, distributed among a large area of trees.
The five people who were taken up the mountain by Na Jian and Zhang were also looking at Xia Yan and the three of them with their eyes.
Most of these people are mercenaries and have a lot of experience in fighting.
They also knew that Xia Yan and the three of them came out of the academy. In fact, they were extremely disdainful of the cultivators who came out of the academy. In their opinion, the cultivators who came out of the academy did not go through a real life-and-death struggle, but were actually just showmen. No matter how powerful the strength and martial arts are, in the real battle, they may not be able to fully display their strength.
Without going through the baptism of the Forest of Sin, you can't grow into a true warrior at all!
In their gaze, Xia Yan saw undisguised contempt and contempt. In these people, there is naturally a fierce killing intent.
Even if the weapons in their hands are not unsheathed, they themselves are like a sharp sword unsheathed.
"Ahead is the entrance to the Heavenly Palace!"
After about a tea time, the crowd walked around the many buildings and trees and came to a chaotic stone henge with no end in sight.
Xia Yan saw that although these stone piles were messy, they seemed to be placed in a regular manner.
As far as the eye can see, a tall black tower can be clearly seen.
"Is that the Tower of Trials?"
A big man with a double-wielding silver hammer on his back exclaimed in surprise when he saw the tower, with a very obvious look of excitement on his face.
He seems to have heard of this tower that appears in everyone's sight.
"Tower of Trials?" Xia Yan had heard of it for the first time.
"That's right, that's the Tower of Trials of our Heavenly Palace! If you can pass the assessment of the Heavenly Palace, then you will also have the opportunity to enter the Tower of Trials in the future, hmph, this is what thousands of cultivators have dreamed of. The more indifferent inspector glanced at the man who spoke, and said in an emotionless voice.
"This is the first time you have come to the Heavenly Palace, follow us closely and don't run around. These rocks don't seem to be dangerous, but if you break in and trigger the formation, then even with your strength, you may die here. Mr. Liu's breath sank and said seriously.
Xia Yan's heart tightened slightly, he felt that these chaotic stones were unusual just now, but now listening to Mr. Liu, it was indeed a formation with attack ability.
The scale of this chaotic stone henge is very huge, and everyone has not yet entered it, and they feel its immensity. And in the depths of the Stonehenge, everyone could only see the towering Tower of Trials, and nothing else could be seen.
Following behind Mr. Liu and the others, Xia Yan and the others quickly penetrated into the chaotic stone formation.
