Luo Zheng might have dabbled in the Five Elements Divine Dao, but his own understanding of it was not that deep.
Luo Zheng would not have been able to say what he had just said. He was still relying on the Evil Old Man in his mind.
The Extreme Evil Old Man chuckled in his mind. "The big shots in the floating island families of the Divine Domain don't care about the Golden Six Refinement Pill at all. If their disciples encounter the two taboos, they'll just give them a few more pills and they'll pass easily. They're unlike us grassroots True Gods who can't even produce a Golden Five Refinement Pill after years of hard work. We came up with this idea back then because we had no choice …"
The Evil Old Man had also cultivated the Five Elements Divine Dao. Furthermore, he had personally gone to the Dao tablet of the Five Elements Divine Dao and studied it. Naturally, his understanding of the Five Elements Divine Dao far exceeded that of an ordinary lower True God!
As he had said, using the Black Gold method to break the two taboos was a stupid method. The "two taboos" were not a problem for the Sages and their disciples. A mere Five Transformation Golden Pill and a Six Transformation Golden Pill were nothing in their eyes. Therefore, they would not waste time thinking of a way to break the taboos. Even if they came up with the Black Gold method, no one would use it.
The Evil Old Man was considered a genius among the grassroots. He had relied on his own talent to cultivate to the peak of a middle True God. There were not many True Gods like him in the Divine Dominion.
After Elder Wu ordered his men to chase the bald cultivator away, he said to everyone, "Today's lesson ends here." Then, he stared at Luo Zheng as if he was afraid that Luo Zheng would run away. "Come with me!"
Luo Zheng nodded and was brought into the Heaven-Containing Palace by Elder Wu.
Today's lesson ended early. All the Proof of Divinity cultivators present looked regretful. Looking at Luo Zheng's back, their expressions were incomparably complicated. Some were envious, and some were jealous.
Some of the older Testimony Gods had stayed in Six Ren Divine City for countless years and still had not gained anything. Entering the Heaven-Containing Palace to cultivate the Divine Dao was still a distant dream.
They saw that Luo Zheng's bone age was still young, probably less than a hundred years old. With only a few words, he was personally led into the Heaven-containing Mansion by the True God of Dao Impartation. It was no wonder that they were jealous …
The Heaven-containing Prefecture was the Attestation Prefecture of the Han Family. In the eyes of Attestation Gods, it was the best place to attestation a god, second only to the floating islands in the Sea of Time.
Of course, those floating islands were like legends to ordinary Proving Gods and even many True Gods. They never had the extravagant hope of entering the floating islands, so naturally, they would not consider it. Therefore, the Heaven-containing Mansion was the best place to cultivate in Liuren Domain.
Following the entrance of the Heaven-Containing Mansion, Luo Zheng arrived at a spacious and flat plaza. There were corridors on both sides of the plaza. Under the guidance of the old man surnamed Wu, Luo Zheng followed the corridors to the side of the Heaven-Containing Mansion. They passed through a forest with dense vines. The winding path led to a secluded place, and the scenery was pleasant and exquisite.
Not long after, Luo Zheng was brought to a side courtyard. This side courtyard was where the old man with the surname Wu lived.
After inviting Luo Zheng to take a seat, the old man surnamed Wu asked, "Your Excellency, your surname is Luo?"
Luo Zheng nodded.
"May I know Your Excellency's name?" the old man surnamed Wu asked again.
"This one is Luo Tianxing," Luo Zheng replied with cupped fists.
The old man surnamed Wu nodded. "May I know which family on the floating islands Your Excellency is from, and why have you come to Liuren Divine City?"
In Old Man Wu's eyes, let alone a Proof of Divinity martial artist, even a lower True Divinity martial artist wouldn't have such eyesight. For Luo Zheng to be able to come up with such an outrageous method, there was a high chance he came from some floating island family!
"This one has never been to a floating island," Luo Zheng shook his head and denied.
What he said was naturally true. Not only had he never been to a floating island, he had never even heard of what a floating island looked like …
"Is that so?" The old man surnamed Wu chuckled, but his face was still full of disbelief. "If you didn't come from a floating island, then this old man doesn't believe that Your Excellency comprehended the Profound Gold Breaking Technique on your own!"
This was not a matter of talent. If Luo Zheng's comprehension of the Five Elements Divine Dao had reached this level, it was impossible for him to just be a Attestation God cultivator. He would have long since become a True God, and if he used the Profound Gold Breaking Technique to make up for the two taboos, in ten thousand years, Luo Zheng would have already become a Middle True God!
Based on this logic, the old man surnamed Wu believed that Luo Zheng was lying.
Luo Zheng knew that the old man surnamed Wu would have such doubts, so he had already prepared an excuse. "To be honest, the Profound Gold Breaking Technique was not comprehended by me. It was left to me by a nameless senior. Benefactor Wu, think about it. Would the wealthy families on the floating islands really be so bored as to come up with such a stupid method? The Forbidden Gold Pill is something they can easily obtain. Why would they go through so much trouble? "
"This …" The old man surnamed Wu didn't think too deeply about the problem. Hearing Luo Zheng's explanation, it was indeed so. Those upper True Gods, Great Perfection Saints, and Saints monopolized almost ninety percent of the Shenwu coins in the God Domain. A sixth-grade Gold Pill was also an ordinary item in their eyes. How could they come up with the Profound Gold Breaking Technique? That would be extremely boring. The old man surnamed Wu nodded. "Indeed. It seems that nameless senior of yours was also born from a humble background. He's also an extremely intelligent person. I've studied the Five Elements Divine Dao all my life, but I've never come up with such a method. As you said, I've been blinded by my old ways. Alas …"
"This one did come to the Heaven-Containing Prefecture to ask for a favor," Luo Zheng took the opportunity to say.
The old man surnamed Wu glanced at Luo Zheng. Although Luo Zheng hadn't stated his purpose, he could guess. "You want to enter the Heaven-Containing Prefecture?"
Luo Zheng nodded.
These days, there were too many Proving Gods who wanted to enter the Heaven-Containing Prefecture. Too many …
All the Proving Gods treated the Heaven-Containing Prefecture as a dragon's gate. Once they passed this dragon's gate, the matter of becoming a Proving God was basically settled.
Almost every year, every month, every day, there were people who wanted to rely on the old man surnamed Wu to enter the Heaven-Containing Prefecture. However, those who could truly enter the Prefecture relied on their own strength and talent.
The old man surnamed Wu finally understood. This martial artist called Luo Tianxing wasn't from a wealthy family, nor was he a genius. He was just an ordinary Proving God martial artist who had coincidentally obtained the Profound Heaven Forbidden Breaking Technique. He wanted to use this technique to exchange for entering the Heaven-Containing Prefecture.
After all, Luo Zheng had helped the old man surnamed Wu. Therefore, when Luo Zheng made this request, the old man surnamed Wu couldn't refuse. He just shook his head and said, "Although I am the Heaven-Containing Prefecture's Teaching True God, to enter the Heaven-Containing Prefecture, you have to go through the Prefecture's selection process. I can't make an exception and take you into the Prefecture."
When the Heaven-Containing Prefecture recruited Proving Gods, there would often be hundreds of thousands of Proving Gods taking part in the examination at the same time. However, there would only be a dozen or so people who were actually accepted. This was truly one in a thousand. The old man surnamed Wu couldn't change the result.
Moreover, those who could enter the Heaven-Containing Prefecture were all geniuses among the Proving Gods. Even if the old man surnamed Wu really helped Luo Zheng cheat, Luo Zheng's talent wasn't enough. If he entered the Heaven-Containing Prefecture, he would quickly be exposed.
"However, I can recommend you to fight for a spot in the Prefecture's examination. It's possible." The old man surnamed Wu's expression became unnatural.
A spot in the Prefecture's examination was difficult for normal warriors to obtain. After all, just a spot in the examination could be sold for seven or eight shenwu coins. It wasn't a small sum. However, the Xuan Gold Taboo Breaking Technique that Luo Zheng taught him was far from worth this price. The old man surnamed Wu owed Luo Zheng a big favor, but he could only help with this small matter. He felt bad.
Unexpectedly, Luo Zheng smiled slightly. "If Benefactor Wu can give me a spot, that would be the greatest help! I won't be picky. "
Benefactor Wu didn't know that Luo Zheng himself didn't care about the chance to enter the Heaven-Containing Prefecture. The Heaven-Containing Prefecture was just a springboard under his feet. His goal was Han Jia's floating island.
If he couldn't even enter the Heaven-Containing Prefecture with his true ability, how could he enter Han Jia's floating island?
To be able to obtain a spot in the examination was enough for Luo Zheng. There was no need for the old man surnamed Wu to worry about the rest …
"If that's the case, then it's easy. You've picked the right time. The Heaven-Containing Prefecture's examination is held once a year, and the examination will begin in a month. Right now, more than half of the spots have been given out. I'll ask for a spot for you. Wait a moment!" The old man surnamed Wu left the courtyard.
Not long after, the old man surnamed Wu returned with a white jade token in his hand. He handed it to Luo Zheng. "Just engrave your name on it."
Luo Zheng held the white jade token in his hand and felt a chill come from it. This kind of jade was an extremely rare material even in the universe, but it was probably a very common item in the divine realm. After receiving the token, Luo Zheng stood up and bid farewell to the old man surnamed Wu.
After Luo Zheng left, the old man surnamed Wu shook his head and muttered, "I actually hoped that you could enter the Heaven-Containing Prefecture with your own ability, but I'm afraid there's no hope for that this year …"
This year was the Han Jia's big year of examination. The geniuses of the thirty-six regions under Han Jia's jurisdiction would all gather in the Heaven-Containing Prefecture. This Luo Zheng's skeletal age was less than a hundred years. Although the old man surnamed Wu didn't have the opportunity to investigate Luo Zheng's innate talent, he knew it was most likely hopeless.
