This year, a baby was born in the palace of the second-level Xiuzhen Kingdom Ying Snow Country, named Zhou Rui. It is said that when the baby was 100 days old, the gloomy rainy day swept away the haze, and there was an auspicious scene of cranes dancing in the sky, so the baby was named Zhou Rui, taking the meaning of auspiciousness. This child was born to the queen of Yingxue Country, the emperor and queen of Yingxue Country are very affectionate, and this child is a veritable eldest son and grandson, the emperor naturally loves this Lin'er very much, and amnesties the world for the child's birthday.

Zhou Rui lived up to expectations and was smart since he was a child, which made him even more favored, and he was named the crown prince early, after all, Yingxue Country is only a second-level cultivation country, although there are countless cultivation sects in the country, but the cultivation of monks among them is not high. Zhou Rui's position in Yingxue Country is deep-rooted, his life is very peaceful every day, there is no war and no one grabs his crown prince, Zhou Rui's daily life is reading, cultivating, eating, sleeping, basically unchanged. This peaceful life could have lasted forever, and Zhou Rui also felt that this kind of life was very good.

But the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, the sudden attack of the fourth-level Xiuzhen country Fan Zhuo country broke all this calm, only half a month, Yingxue country has fallen in a large area, and soon Fan Zhuo country soldiers came to the city, hit the capital of Yingxue country Lin'an, the emperor knew that Yingxue country's qi was exhausted, as a royal martyr. But the emperor didn't want this 8-year-old child to die before he saw the prosperity of the world, and he didn't want the royal bloodline to be cut off, so he asked the general Zuo Tao to leave here with the child when he was dying, "Rui'er, you are the last spark of the royal family, and you are also the hope of your father and mother, you must live well." Then the emperor and the queen committed suicide.

Zhou Rui is still a child, and he has experienced the ruin of the country and the death of his family in less than a month, how can he accept this? The tears on his face have long since dried up. Zhou Rui showed that children should not be mature and calm at this age. With Zuo Tao, he escaped from the Yingxue Country and came to the Xuanwu Kingdom, a fourth-level Xiuzhen country.

"Uncle Zuo Tao, Lonely...."Zhou Rui just opened his mouth, but was stopped by Zuo Tao's eyes.

"Rui'er, you have to remember that you are no longer the prince, if you want to survive in this world of the weak and the strong, you must change your previous habits and forget that you are the prince before you have the ability. Zhou Rui was not stupid, and instantly understood what Zuo Tao meant, "Where are we going now?" Zhou Rui asked with some doubts. "Let's go to the Heavenly Soul Sect, if you can stand out in this sect, then you can become a person who truly stands up to the heavens and the earth. Saying this, Zuo Tao began to introduce the Heavenly Soul Sect to Zhou Rui, and Zhou Rui also had an understanding of the Heavenly Soul Sect: The Heavenly Soul Sect is not a big sect in this Xuanwu Kingdom, but it is a behemoth in this Jiujiang County, so every year some families in Jiujiang County will send disciples into the sect, and those with bad talents will still be eliminated.

How the disciples are selected each year is determined by the elders of the sect, after layers of tests, only those who let the elders with eyes above the top have a place to see can become disciples, and among the other eliminated people with good qualifications or strong abilities will also be accepted as registered disciples for observation, and Zhou Rui has been known as a genius since he was a child, and it is not very difficult to stand out from it. Zuo Tao told Zhou Rui that he was originally a disciple of the Heavenly Soul Sect, and now he wanted to return to the Heavenly Soul Sect, and as long as Zhou Rui was not in danger of his life in this Heavenly Soul Sect, he would not help him, and he still had to go his own way.

Zhou Rui came to the registration office to sign up, he was not sure whether he could enter the Heavenly Soul Sect, his qualifications were good, but in Jiujiang County, the fourth-level cultivation country, he was not sure if there were people with much higher talent than him, with mixed feelings, Zhou Rui returned to the inn, meditating silently in the room, his cultivation had been condensed for three levels, but he still felt that it was not good, one day Zhou Rui adjusted the state to the best in the inn, and then he had been waiting for the start of the selection of disciples of the Heavenly Soul Sect, time was constantly slipping by, and the selection of disciples of the Heavenly Soul Sect finally began in the expectations of countless people。

On this day, Zhou Rui came to the selection point just after dawn, although he came very early, but the selection site was still crowded, and there were countless hawkers outside the selection site, and the whole venue was very noisy, because of the heat, many people showed impatience. But these did not affect Zhou Rui's mood, this is the first time Zhou Rui has left Yingxue Country, no matter how mature Zhou Rui was before, Zhou Rui is still a child after all, he is still very curious about everything around him, he wandered aimlessly, at this time the crowd was quiet all of a sudden, and the impatience on the faces of some people disappeared and was replaced by a respectful look, and a monk with a flying sword flew out of the Heavenly Soul Sect.

"Let you fellow Daoists wait for a long time. The monk clenched his fist around, "The contemptible surname Wang is the deacon of the Heavenly Soul Sect, who is in charge of this selection, and I will read the name to participate in the first test, the qualified ones stand on the left, the unqualified ones stand on the right, and the pending ones stand in the middle." The first test is talent, as we all know that talent is very important for cultivators, according to the talent we will divide the disciples into four levels: A, B, C, and D. Above C is qualified, D level is to be determined, and below D level, please withdraw from the selection. With the name of Deacon Wang, one by one the teenagers stepped on the high platform that could determine their lives, Zhou Rui originally thought that this selection was very simple, but looking at the faint light that lit up again and again, listening to the unqualified sentences, his heart that was full of confidence suddenly rose.

Many people, with timidity and frustration on their faces, stood to the right. Among the people who have passed the test, the best qualification is a grade B, and the others are all grade C. Zhou Rui looked at it for a while and understood the mystery of this test, the higher the qualification, the brighter the light of the test qualification pillar will be, the longer the duration, and the lower the qualification, the darker the light of the light pillar will be, and the shorter the duration, as for the color, Zhou Rui guessed that it should be the tester's attributes. At this time, Zhou Rui heard an exclamation from the audience, and looked up to see that a girl's hand touched the light of the pillar of light, and the light of the pillar of light suddenly brightened a lot, and it continued, this girl is a first-class qualification.

"You stand with me first, and I'll take you in later. Deacon Wang was obviously a little excited, after all, this was the only A-level child who came out of this side of the test, and as long as the A-level qualification was cultivated a little in the sect, he would achieve a lot of achievements. There were very few qualified people after that, and Zhou Rui's heart was up and down all day, and the original little confidence had already been worn out on the losers he saw, and he wasn't sure if he could enter the Heavenly Soul Sect.

Finally, when the sun was waning, Deacon Wang said, "The next tester, Zhou Rui, come to the stage." ”
