"Then how are you going to help me?" Xing Jue asked curiously.
"Pah." Bao'er did not answer. She slammed her hand on the stone table and an exquisite jade box appeared in front of Xing Jue.
"What is this?" Xing Jue received the jade box curiously. When he opened it, a pearl-sized, golden-colored pill appeared before Xing Jue's eyes.
"This … this is a fifth-grade pill!!!"
Looking at the pill in front of him, Xing Jue was shocked. His previously calm face revealed a shocked expression because he recognized that it was a fifth-grade pill with a single glance.
Moreover, the quality of this pill was extremely high. It was far from the pills he had seen in the underground market. There was even a huge difference between the two of them, even though they were both fifth-grade pills.
If Xing Jue's guess was correct, this was a true fifth-grade pill. The purest fifth-grade pill was refined from a fifth-grade immortal herb.
How precious was a fifth-grade immortal herb? It was something that could make the world's top experts go crazy. A fifth-grade pill refined from a fifth-grade immortal herb was even more priceless.
Even in the entire world, there were only a handful of fifth-grade alchemists. There were even fewer who could refine a fifth-grade immortal herb into a fifth-grade pill. Therefore, the fifth-grade pill in Xing Jue's hands was definitely priceless. It was a rare treasure.
"This is a fifth-grade pill, the Heavenly Yuan Pill."
"With your current strength, consuming this pill will allow you to instantly break through to the Advanced Asura Martial Master level. The effect will last for ten days and there will be no side effects," Bao'er explained.
"Why are you giving me such a precious pill?" Xing Jue was a little surprised and confused.
"This is all I can help you with. If you can't get the position of a direct disciple and come back, it's best if I don't see you again."
"Otherwise …" Bao Er did not answer Xing Jue. Instead, she waved her white and flawless little fists at Xing Jue. Her beautiful face pretended to be fierce, but in Xing Jue's eyes, she looked so cute.
"Okay, I'm leaving. Otherwise, that old woman on the clouds will come and bother me again. I can't stand her nagging." Bao 'er stood up, dispelled the Bai Sema she had set up, and prepared to leave.
"Hey!" However, at this moment, Xing Jue suddenly called out.
"What?" Bao'er turned her head and blinked her long eyelashes, looking curious.
"Thank you!" The corners of Xing Jue's mouth suddenly curled up, and a bright, silly smile appeared on his face.
"Tch, who cares about your thanks!"
However, in response to Xing Jue's thanks, Bao 'er pursed her lips. Then, she leaped forward and rode on the purple mist. She charged into the clouds and instantly disappeared into the clouds.
"Primary Heaven Elixir? It seems that this assessment is in the bag. "After Xing Jue put away the fifth-grade Primary Heaven Elixir, a confident smile appeared on his face.
If the Primary Heaven Elixir really had such a miraculous effect that it could allow Xing Jue to maintain the strength of a high-level Shura Martial Master for ten days, then with the current strength of his soul, Xing Jue could break through the limits of his realm and reach the level of Shura Wu Zun through Soul Explosion.
Shura Wu Zun. This level was enough to qualify him to become a direct disciple. Therefore, Xing Jue had absolute confidence that even if he faced the other four peaks, he could still pass the assessment smoothly.
After a short period of three days, the registration for the Returning Peak's direct disciple assessment was completely over.
This time, there were a total of 489 participants from the Returning Peak. Among them, there were 28 low-level Shura Wu Zun, 460 high-level Shura Martial Master, and one mid-level Shura Martial Master.
Under the vast sky, the white clouds rolled. Suddenly, a huge shadow shone down, and then quickly swept past, disappearing in an instant.
Only the top powerhouses could see its traces. It was a huge object flying in the sky.
It was a huge machine-operated ship. The ship was thousands of meters long and hundreds of meters wide. The body of the ship was silvery white, and under the scorching sun, it was extremely dazzling.
Two huge silver wings, coupled with a complicated floating boundary, supported the huge object in the sky. While this huge object was supported, it also gave it a speed that far exceeded that of an ordinary machine-operated ship. This speed was no less than flying in a space tunnel.
On the body of the ship, there were not only orderly square palaces, but also flower ponds, pavilions, and emerald green ancient trees. At the front of the body of the ship, there were three large words, "Returning Peak".
At the very front of the machine-operated ship was a square paved with silver-colored mysterious stones. On the square, there were close to a hundred Returning Peak disciples, and they were all sighing in admiration for the machine-operated ship.
This was because if the machine-operated ship did not have a special invisible boundary, they really suspected that just the strong wind that was stirred up by the ship would make it difficult for them to stand on the body of the ship.
Within the machine-operated ship, there were two people sitting at the top of a palace. These two people were Xing Jue and Han Feng. "Heh, the small-scale battle between the Five Fingers Peak is about to begin. I'm really looking forward to it."
The purpose of their trip was to participate in the direct disciple assessment. As long as he thought about being able to fight against the disciples of the other four peaks, Xing Jue could not suppress the excitement in his heart.
"Although Asura Wu Zun is too difficult to deal with, fortunately, the rules of the assessment are beneficial to us. With these medicinal pills, we might have a chance." Han Feng took out a few red medicinal pills in his hand and smiled in anticipation.
"Are you sure you want to consume this? Although this medicinal pill can greatly increase your speed and strength, the side effects will make you wish you were dead, "Xing Jue advised with good intentions.
The direct disciple assessment was fated to fight against the disciples of the other four peaks. However, the Five Fingers Peak had set down a rule. In order to avoid injuries and deaths, disciples were prohibited from using offensive battle skills.
If someone killed a disciple of a peak, they would similarly be sentenced to death. Therefore, under the restriction of these rules, the disciples participating in the assessment could only use agility battle skills and defensive battle skills.
In other words, this was a close combat battle. It was also precisely because of this that Han Feng dared to participate in the assessment before his strength reached Asura Wu Zun's. Because, other than facing an individual existence like Xing Jue, he was still very confident in his close combat abilities.
Moreover, for the assessment this time, he had long since prepared a few grade four medicinal pills that could quickly increase his speed and strength. These medicinal pills could be said to be excellent items to increase his close combat abilities. However, the side effects were extremely terrifying as well, and it would even reduce a person's lifespan.
"Heh, as long as I can become a direct disciple, I can enter the clouds to cultivate. Even if I lose a few dozen years of my lifespan, so what?" Han Feng smiled indifferently.
"After the assessment begins, the two of us will travel together. Unless absolutely necessary, do not consume this pill," Xing Jue said seriously.
"Yes, I know." Seeing this, Han Feng nodded as well. Xing Jue's current strength was far above his. He also knew that if he was with Xing Jue, his chances of passing the assessment would be slightly higher.
"Alright, the elders are going to lecture. Let's go." At this moment, Xing Jue realized that there were more and more disciples gathered on the square. Moreover, a few inheritance elders had already appeared.
The Wuzhi Peak's direct disciple assessment was held together every year. Rather than saying it was a selection of direct disciples, it would be more accurate to say it was a side competition between Wuzhi Peak.
After all, the direct disciples were the true core strength of Wuzhi Peak. They were also the absolute factor that determined the strength of Wuzhi Peak in the future. Therefore, the competition between them represented the competition between Wuzhi Peak.
Therefore, during the assessment every year, other than the disciples who participated in the assessment, each peak would send no less than a hundred inheritance elders to accompany and protect them. The reason was very simple — to protect the future experts of Wuzhi Peak.
Moreover, before arriving at the assessment site, the inheritance elders would give the disciples who participated in the assessment a lecture. The content was mostly the same. It was none other than to ask them to work together and not have any differences. They were to defeat each other together and obtain glory for Returning Peak.
However, in reality, it was impossible for these unruly geniuses to cooperate with each other. Most of them were fighting for their own interests. Occasionally, there would be an alliance of a dozen people, which was already very rare.
After a few days of travel, the mighty team of Hermit Peak finally arrived at the venue of the assessment, the "Soul Source Center".
The center of the Soul Source, as the name suggested, was the center of the Soul Source World, and also the center of Mount Wuzhi. The center of the Soul Source was like a point, but when this point was magnified, it would become a boundless forest.
Because of that, the center of the Soul Springs became known as the Soul Springs Forest. However, most people were still used to calling it the Soul Springs Center. As they neared the center of the Soul Springs, the enormous mechanical ship landed. Nearly five hundred Hermit Peak disciples, as well as nearly a hundred legacy elders, were all on foot.
The reason for this was that they did not dare to fly. The reason for this was that the Soul Origin Center had a forest as the boundary. There was a special gravitational force in the sky above it. No matter how strong one was, they would not be able to fly.
Once upon a time, there were people who didn't believe in evil and dared to fly across the center of the Soul Origin. However, as soon as they stepped into the forest boundary of the center of the Soul Origin, they fell down, and the final result was even more unbelievable. That was, they fell to their deaths.
Normally, after achieving the Asura Realm, one's body would be comparable to Darksteel and Darkstone. Many of the experts who challenged the Soul Origin Center were Asura Wu Zun's experts. Their flesh was extremely strong, thus it was impossible for them to fall to their deaths.
But the center of the Soul Source was so strange. Not only was the ground indestructible, even the ancient trees couldn't be shaken. Even if an Asura Martial God powerhouse launched a tyrannical attack that could instantly destroy a mountain range, it would only set off terrifying ripples in the jungle of the center of the Soul Source, but it wouldn't be able to damage a single tree or soil.
"It seems like my Returning Peak is a little late."
As they approached the Soul Origin Center, what caught the attention of Xing Jue and the others was not the towering ancient trees, but the crowd standing outside the forest.
The reason being that the disciples and elders of the other four peaks of Wuzhi Peak had all arrived. The battle between the geniuses was about to begin.
