Beiling City is a medium-sized city located in the northern frontier of the Central Royal Court, geographically close to the green sea, and nearly millions of intelligent beings live in it.

Although the location is relatively remote, it is not as poor and backward as you think.

The opposite is true.

Because of the popularization of countless transportation machinery such as suspended ships and floating boats, as well as various kinds of people's biological resources, in the area under the jurisdiction of the central royal court, from intelligent life and information mobility, to urban engineering construction.

All of them have reached a very considerable level, thus constituting a complex and diverse world.

Take Beiling City, for example.

Physically, the whole looks like a strange and huge honeycomb structure, nearly half of the main body of the city is made of metal, and the remaining half is composed of various composite materials and natural materials.

The city is divided into many functional areas.

From life to learning, from social interaction to experience, there is a high degree of meticulous embodiment, which is equivalent to providing a very complete platform for many intelligent lives to present their own splendor.

Behind the highly unified development, there is an extremely efficient cultivation mechanism.

……

At this time, it was in the Beiling Castle of the giant honeycomb structure.

"Yan Cheng."

A sturdy antelope has a concussive chest and spits out human voices.

It was covered in clean hair and a pure white robe, and its big clear eyes stared at a black-haired human youth in front of it.

A metal badge looking at the other person's chest, to be exact.

On that diamond-shaped badge, six silver lines cross straight and symmetrically, with a 'two' character in the middle, and in the line of sight, there is a trace of silver-white mysterious brilliance.

The antelope looked at it for a long time before he said in a sullen voice: "Your potential value has accumulated to the sixth level, which is already the level of the second-class peak, and if you upgrade to one level, you will enter the first-class." ”

"At that time, you don't have to participate in the entrance examination of the school palace, you can directly enter the major halls of the Taishang Palace."

"It's not that easy."

The young man named Yan Cheng smiled when he heard this.

He heard a hint of loss in Antelope's tone, and said with relief: "I was just lucky, so I barely solved a high-level arithmetic problem, and was promoted to the sixth level. ”

"But if you want to cross the threshold of level seven and enter the first level, you have to unlock at least one rule technique."

"This is not as good as arithmetic problems, you know, even the most basic rule arithmetic is much more difficult than advanced arithmetic problems, I am even so reluctant to solve advanced arithmetic, let alone rule arithmetic."

"In addition, it is the right path to improve the strength to the Great Perfection of the 'Body Refining Realm' and then participate in the entry assessment."

Yan Cheng said with a sigh in his tone.

"That being said, you've already touched at least the seventh-level threshold."

Antelope shook his head and sighed: "The potential value is divided into three and nine levels, and those who can reach the first level will not only be exempted from the entry assessment, but will also have a large number of resources to be provided first, and the future achievements will at least be 'Refining God Realm'." ”

"There are also many top-notch people who have entered the 'Refining Void Realm', and even the 'Merge Dao Realm' has a glimmer of possibility."

"This is much stronger than following a step-by-step approach, cultivating to the Great Perfection of the 'Body Refining Realm', and then participating in the entrance assessment of the Academy Palace at the same time with countless people."

"Unfortunately, that's the path of geniuses."

Yan Cheng sighed lightly.

Although he has touched the threshold of the seventh level, he still has no confidence, there is an unimaginable gap in it, and you need to understand the power of the rules at the lower level.

Although this is a path to heaven, only a few people with different talents can do it.

"That's right."

The antelope seemed to think of something and asked, "Have you thought about which hall of the Academy Palace you are going to enter in the future?" Or do you want to stay in the central court? ”

"Thinking about it, I'm ready to choose between the Huanxin Hall and the Central Royal Court."

Yan Cheng replied without thinking.

He had obviously thought about this question for a long time, and then explained: "Among the ten major halls of the Academy Palace, in terms of the lethality of individual cultivation methods, the Sword God Hall and the War God Hall are the strongest. ”

"But the former needs to master the 'power of the ten rules', and the latter needs to have a 'joy to kill', with my talent, challenging either is too reluctant......"

Yan Cheng's tone was helpless.

"It can't be said that when choosing a temple system, in addition to measuring one's own talent, one must also analyze the amount of resources occupied by each of the ten major temple systems."

The antelope spoke very familiarly.

"The three of them, such as the Immortal Machine Palace, the Divine Machine Palace, and the Yama Palace, have always been the objects of key care, and even the most ordinary disciples can easily mobilize a lot of resources."

"Don't be fooled by appearances."

Yan Cheng smiled: "Many people only see the surface of these three, but they don't know the internal mechanism. ”

"The Immortal Machine Palace, the Divine Machine Palace, and the Heavenly Machine Hall are called the three major centers of the world, except for the Heavenly Machine Palace, which does not need any resources, the other two major halls basically rely on countless resources to grow."

"But these three are also known as the three most esoteric and boring halls in the Taixue Palace."

"The Heavenly Machine Hall cultivates the 'rule of cause and effect', which is the rule that includes everything in the world in the calculation formula, and in terms of the degree of complexity and brain-burning, it can definitely be regarded as a nightmare level."

"And the Immortal Machine Hall and the Divine Machine Hall."

"One is the 'mechanical rule' and the other is the 'elemental rule.'"

"Although it is a little better than the Heavenly Machine Palace, both of these belong to the system of exploring the ultimate mystery of heaven and earth, and there is no special talent, and its boring level can definitely drive people crazy."

Between Yan Cheng's words.

The antelope couldn't help but shudder, and said without giving up, "What about the Yama Palace? ”

"Yama Palace?"

Yan Cheng glanced at it and said, "Many people have only heard of the 'Biochemical Reproduction Rule', which is the cultivation system of the Yama Temple, but it was not called this name at the beginning, but it was called the 'Necromantic Rule'. ”

"There, you can come into contact with countless corpses, countless biochemical monsters."

"You also need to dissect them, study them, nurture them, and if necessary, conduct live experiments, including your own soul and body, which are just experimental materials."

"All in all, it's a temple that only madmen go."

Yan Cheng smashed his mouth.

He saw that the antelope's eyes were stunned at this time, and he continued: "Although these major halls are either difficult and obscure, or terrifying, they all have extremely high growth potential. ”

"It's just that it's a world of geniuses."

"Those of us with ordinary qualifications, don't have to be ambitious, and we don't have to be discouraged, as long as we don't blindly follow the trend and choose the most suitable temple system for ourselves, we can also step into a higher level."

"How?"

The antelope couldn't help but ask.

It knew that it was not as good as a guy like Yan Cheng who was proficient in various ways in terms of knowledge and knowledge, and the explanation just now deeply impressed it, and then there was a sense of humbly seeking advice.

"In addition to the six major halls just mentioned, the rest also need to be carefully screened."

Yan Cheng knew everything at this time.

"First of all, the Hall of Stars, because of the relationship between the Supreme Treasure 'Zhou Tian Xingchen Diagram', although the difficulty in the later stage is high, but the disciples are basically not difficult in the early stage of practicing the 'Repulsion of the Star Rules'."

"In addition to being easy to learn and difficult to master, there is another thing to pay attention to."

"During the World War, the disciples of the Star Hall who reached the 'God Refining Realm' all had to form the Star Army to join the battlefield, and they were under militarized management."

"The personality jumps out, and I don't think I can stand it if I yearn for freedom."

He shook his head as he spoke.

Obviously, he felt that it was difficult for him to accept this kind of militarized management, and then he said: "As for the Heavenly Demon Palace, it has been established for less than a hundred years. ”

"The battle between 'forgetfulness' and 'ruthlessness' is currently at its most intense."

"The last time there was a similar phenomenon, it was the two major schools of Immortal Punishment and Immortal Feng in the Immortal Machine Hall who competed, and their struggle lasted for two or three hundred years, and they still haven't distinguished each other."

"In addition, the Heavenly Demon Hall is stationed in the 'Nightmare Parasitic World Battlefield' all year round."

"If the disciples are not careful, they will be invaded by the demon seed, so their acceptance standards are extremely strict, and those who are not pure with six roots and unclear five aggregates will die."

"Those who enter the Heavenly Demon Hall are basically non-human beings."

Speaking of which.

Yan Cheng finally returned to the topic and said with a smile: "In addition to what I just said, the only things left are the Huanxin Hall and the Demon Temple. ”

"As a demon clan, you should be very clear about the Demon Temple."

"There is a place called the Ten Thousand Demon Ancestral Court, and there are three demon emperors of the 'Merge Dao Realm', and in addition to the mixed rule system, the main thing is a high degree of liberalization."

"It can be regarded as the most open hall system among the ten major halls."

"No one will care what you've learned there, whenever there is a 'Refining Void Realm', or even a 'Merge Dao Realm' powerhouse preaching, disciples from any temple can go and listen."

"But how much you learn depends entirely on your understanding."

"And the disciples of the Demon Temple, if they fail to meet the standards within the specified time limit, it is common for them to be demoted or even expelled, in addition, many Demon Emperor-level powerhouses of other halls will often go to the Demon Temple to preach."

"This is a temple system that is both free, cruel, and full of natural selection!"

Yan Cheng shook his head and sighed.

"Compared with the above nine major halls, the reason why I chose the Huanxin Palace, the most mysterious palace in the eyes of ordinary people, is because it is suitable."

"Why?"

Antelope couldn't help but ask: "Huanxin Palace, but the most difficult test among all the halls, in addition to knowing that the cultivation is the 'Spiritual Rules', the other is that the admission rate is frighteningly low every time." ”

"That's the difference between information asymmetry."

Yan Cheng laughed: "The assessment of the Huanxin Palace, there is only one will appraisal process, if you pass, you will succeed, and if you can't pass, you will fail, it seems that it is completely by luck." ”

"This also leads to the reason why in the eyes of ordinary people, the Huanxin Hall is extremely mysterious."

"Actually, everyone knows the principle of will identification, this is an immortal method to distinguish the strength of the will, as well as to determine the enemy and the enemy, but it is only used in the assessment, what is it mainly for?"

He asked rhetorically.

He immediately asked and answered himself: "Those who pass the assessment are not necessarily the strongest in terms of will, and this can be verified by the 'assessment report'." ”

"But definitely peculiar, as I guessed......"

"It should be mainly used to check the tenacity of the 'heart of seeking the truth', although this is ethereal, but through the relevant clues, it can be regarded as a well-documented category."

"However, speculation is speculation, whether it can pass the assessment or not, it is still ambiguous."

Yan Cheng sighed.

"So apart from the Huanxin Palace, my last choice is to stay in the Central Royal Court, although the degree of freedom is not high, but I can also go to other palaces to observe."

"The most important thing is that the security is at the same level as the Huanxin Palace."

"The Huanxin Hall is because of the small number of people, and when it is used as a seed cultivation, most of them don't need to enter the world battlefield, while the central royal court is located inside the world, and it is responsible for the management and garrison tasks in the realm."

"In addition, the Central Royal Court is also the easiest to enter the assessment."

Yan Cheng said this.

The antelope suddenly realized, because it is now in the period of the world war, it can also feel the tension of the war in all aspects of life on weekdays, and it is not difficult to understand Yan Cheng's choice.

Wow!

As they spoke, a vast shadow spread from the sky.

"Huh?"

Yan Cheng's eyes were extremely sharp, and when he looked up, he recognized the situation of the shadow, and said, "It's the Central Royal Court, the suspended fleet used to transport life materials in the Green Sea. ”

"I don't know what big names are up there."

The antelope also looked at the past.

Because Beiling City is close to the Green Sea, there are often suspended transport ships passing by, and they have nothing else worth paying attention to at this time except for watching and guessing the identity of the big people inside.
