No one knew where the sound of the horn came from. It seemed to be supported by a great divine ability, causing everyone who heard the sound to feel their blood boiling.
Then, a ray of silver light broke through the sky. That silver light looked like a ball of flame from afar. It was so dazzling that no one could look at it directly. When it got closer, they could see that it was an old man standing in the middle of the silver flame.
The old man wore a golden circlet on his head. His face was tense and stiff. His skin was greenish-black and no one could see any expression on his face. His body was full of death qi. He was a corpse devil that had died countless years ago!
This corpse devil's body was emitting a strong Early Thought Fragmentation Realm qi. In his hand, he was holding a scroll that was sealed by silver flames. As soon as he stood in the sky, he opened the scroll. Instantly, a terrifying aura force turned into a gale and swept towards everyone.
Those cultivators from the tribes who had weak cultivation bases were usually blown away by the gale. Only the True Immortal Realm old monsters could remain unmoved in this gale.
When the gale finally blew past, the cultivators of the tribes could no longer stand still. They knelt on the ground and bowed to the corpse devil!
"Welcome, Sacred Envoy!" Their voices pierced through the sky.
Ta Mu and the others naturally bowed to him. Those cultivators who were flying in the sky and watching the grand event from afar also landed on the ground and bowed to him respectfully. Among them was even Duo Lan who had a noble status!
The hierarchy in the Despicable Tribe was strict. Because the cultivators of the tribes were the descendants of medicine slaves, their status was the lowest. The tomb guardians of the Sacred Mountain had a slightly higher status but they still had to kneel before the sacred envoy. Even if the so-called sacred envoy was just a group of corpse devils with low spiritual intelligence!
"Why don't you kneel?!"
The corpse devil old man's eyes swept across the grassland. Suddenly, there was a person who dared not to kneel before him. Then, he questioned with a hoarse voice.
"I'm not a person from the Despicable Tribe. Naturally, I don't need to kneel to anyone." Ning Fan said indifferently.
"That makes sense …"
The corpse devil old man's tone was still stiff. There was no hint of joy or anger. Listening to his words, he seemed to agree with Ning Fan's explanation. Suddenly, his body flashed and disappeared from the sky without leaving a trace!
Ning Fan's eyes turned solemn. His body also flashed and disappeared without a trace. At the next moment, an explosion suddenly resounded in the vast sky where there was no one. It sounded like a single explosion but it also sounded like countless explosions that overlapped. Following that, spatial cracks appeared in the sky. Then, two figures flew out from the spatial cracks.
They were none other than Ning Fan and the elderly corpse devil! Ning Fan landed on the ground calmly. That corpse devil's dull eyes were filled with shock.
"What happened?!" No one including the cultivators in the She Kong Clan could clearly see what the old man and Ning Fan had done!
Even Doran did not know what had happened in that instant!
"That does make sense."
That corpse devil old man kept his astonished expression and maintained his indifferent expression. Only he knew that in that extremely short moment, he had already exchanged tens of punches with Ning Fan. Even with the strength of his corpse devil body, he was actually at a complete disadvantage in the exchange of blows!
According to the rules of the Holy Mountain, if one had the strength to rival the Holy Emissary, they could ignore the hierarchy and not kneel before the Holy Emissary. Since Ning Fan had such strength, there was naturally no need for him to kneel before him. However, if he meets a stronger holy envoy, he would still need to kneel before him.
"Could it be that this external cultivator surnamed Ning is able to hold his own against an early Thought-Shattering cultivator even though his cultivation is suppressed?!"
When the cultivators in the area saw that the Holy Emissary did not hold Ning Fan accountable for not kneeling, all of them had their guesses and were secretly shocked. Then, they remembered that Ning Fan was the only ruthless person in the Tower Wood Tribe. No matter how strong he was, there was still a limit to how much he could change the situation of this small competition. Thus, they heaved a sigh of relief.
After all, he was just one person …
That corpse devil old man's expression was still indifferent. He ordered the cultivators who were kneeling to stand up and began to read the scroll in his hand.
"The battle of seizing the mausoleum will be held once every thousand years. I, the Holy Emissary No.41, will be in charge of the competition in the Southern Border. It will be divided into two rounds, the written test and the martial test! The group with the highest total score will be able to enter the Middle State and participate in the second round of the mausoleum! Now, I will announce the topic of the written test. I advise everyone not to blink and watch what is going to happen next. Don't miss out a single detail! "
When the corpse devil old man finished reading, he suddenly raised the scroll in his hand. The scroll flew all the way up and suddenly turned into a silver fire dragon that soared into the sky. When it reached the apex, it suddenly twisted its body and shattered into countless flames, falling on the grassland, burning all the wild grass in the area. However, after a few breaths of time, new and tender wild grass grew strangely on the scorched land.
The whole process did not take more than ten breaths of time, but it contained too many magical principles … The purpose of the written test was to test the magical principles contained in this scene!
"This is the topic of the first round of the written test of the mausoleum. All of you must have comprehended something. You have one day to write down your comprehensions on the scroll and send it back to the Middle State. The emperors of the Middle State will judge and determine the score!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the corpse devil old man turned his hand again and took out a piece of silver beast bone. After crushing it into bone powder in his palm, he threw it forward. Immediately, silver bone ashes fell with the wind. As soon as the ashes fell on the ground, they immediately turned into short tables that were supported by skeletons. There were seven hundred bone tables and twenty-one rows. There were a total of thirty-five rows. Not a single one was more, exactly the number of tribes in the Southern Border.
"In the past, the written test would randomly give a question to test the cultivators' comprehension. Unfortunately, there are too few wise people in the Southern Border. Almost none of them could get good results in the written test. Looking at the history of the Southern Border, there are only a few who could get more than a hundred points in the written test. The written test is not important. The difference between the tribes is not too big. The difficult part is the combat test … Younger Brother Ning, you don't have to care too much about the results of the written test. With Younger Brother Ning's cultivation base, it won't be difficult to get more than a thousand points in the combat test. It will be enough for our Tower Wood Tribe to get rid of the shame of being at the bottom … "
Tagori secretly gave Ning Fan a few reminders and gave him a palm-sized domino token. Then, he turned his head and gave out the bone token to the participating cultivators of the Tower Wood Tribe.
Ning Fan looked at the bone token in his hand. It was the item that he used to record his results. The front of the bone token was engraved with two words' Ning Fan '. It was his name. The back was used to record his results. Currently, his results were still zero. After all, the small competition of the Southern Border had not started yet.
"So the written test is not important …"
Ning Fan didn't comment on Tagori's words. He followed the participating cultivators and slowly walked to their respective bone tables and sat down cross-legged.
On the bone table, there was a bone brush, blood ink and a leather scroll. On the top left of the table, there was a groove with a strange beast face drawn on it. Many of the weak cultivators picked up their brushes as soon as they sat down, dipped them in ink, and scribbled. Then, they rolled up their scrolls and threw them into the beast face grooves on the table, along with their Dominoes.
Then, the groove of the beast face would close up and light would shine. After a while, the groove would open up again. There would be no leather scrolls inside, only the bone token. The bone token would record the results of the written test.
The vast majority of cultivators wouldn't guard against others copying their answers, so Ning Fan was able to easily see some people's answers.
"I comprehended the fire ability to light the grass and the fire is very hot …" This was the answer of some cultivators who had a low IQ.
"I feel indignant at the act of the Holy Envoy burning the Southern Grassland. This is the inheritance left to us by our ancestors. How can we blaspheme it! Fortunately, the grass grew back in the end … "This was the answer written by a young cultivator who was full of resentment.
"I didn't comprehend it." There were also people who handed in blank answers!
What made Ning Fan speechless was that even these retarded answers were secretly copied by many people. As for the plagiarism, the old man Corpse Demon didn't care at all. In just the time it took for an incense stick to burn, more than half of the cultivators had finished their answers. One should know that the time given for the written test was a whole day …
Ning Fan looked to his side. The other nineteen people of the Tower Wood Tribe had already handed in their answers and received their results. Out of the nineteen people, eighteen of them got zero points. The only one who got a point only got one point. Ning Fan remembered that person's answer was' Burning Grass, Fire restrains Wood '…
Almost everyone in the Four Heavens knew about this kind of common knowledge, but in the Tower Wood Tribe, that person could still get one point … They could only blame the people of the Tower Wood Tribe for being retarded. It was already very rare for them to be able to answer the common knowledge of cultivation.
Therefore, apart from Ning Fan, the total score of the Tower Wood Tribe's written test was only one point. Fortunately, judging from the current situation, most of the people from the other tribes who had handed in their answers were also retarded. Their total score was only a few points, which was not much different from the Tower Wood Tribe.
However, this didn't mean that there were no normal cultivators in this place.
There were at least two or three people from the other tribes who were still thinking, as if they had really comprehended something from the questions in the written test. Some of the stronger tribes like the Evil Goat Tribe and the Summoning Wind Tribe still had eleven or twelve people who were thinking hard with their eyes closed. As time went by, there would be people who were enlightened from time to time.
These people weren't like those retarded cultivators. They would strictly isolate their answers to prevent others from seeing them. Of course, with Ning Fan's cultivation base that was far beyond this place and the all-pervasive sense of the Rain Technique, he could still easily see everyone's answers. There were also other Shekong Old Monsters who could peek at the Du Zhen cultivator's examination paper. The old corpse demon never stopped them. Being able to copy it was also considered a skill. After all, this was the cultivation world where the strong were respected, not the mortal imperial examination.
One by one, the cultivators with normal minds handed in their answers. Most of the things they comprehended were related to the Dragon Transformation Scroll and the Fire Rain Dragon Transformation Scroll. Most of them only got around five to six points, which wasn't very high.
After all, this written test was obviously not testing on divine abilities, but the comprehension of the Dao.
Burning the grass, reviving the grass …
Wildfire can't burn it, the spring wind blows the grass again …
Gradually, Ning Fan stopped caring about the results of others. Instead, he was immersed in his own comprehension of the Dao. He no longer treated the comprehension of the Dao as a competition. Instead, he had really gained something from it.
He sat on the grass in front of the bone table. He didn't lift his brush to write for a long time. Instead, he closed his eyes and replayed the scene of the rebirth of the grass in his mind.
Two hours passed. Almost all the cultivators who were below the She Kong rank had handed in their answers. None of them had scored more than ten points. Of course, there was also an exception. The young clan leader of the Evil Goat Tribe, Xian Yu Chun, who had a low IQ, actually fell asleep on the table and did not hand in his answer paper.
Four hours passed. Some of the She Kong cultivators began to hand in their answers one after another. Then, the results of their answers began to appear.
"Hiss! It's actually thirty points! What exactly did Wizard Hei Shan of the Black Mountain Tribe answer? How did he get such a high score?! "Someone outside the venue suddenly exclaimed.
Wizard Hei Shan seemed to be dissatisfied with his score. However, he did not dare to question it.
This was the score given by the five emperors of the Middle State. How could a small She Kong cultivator like him have the right to question it?!
"Forget it. The results of the written test aren't important. Everything will depend on the combat test …" Wizard Hei Shan felt relieved when he thought about it.
After Wizard Hei Shan, more and more She Kong cultivators obtained high scores.
"The She Kong Tribe … thirty-five points! The She Kong cultivator got such a high score! "
"Old Monster Yan Nan actually got forty points! How is this possible?! "
"The White Ghost Kong cultivator of the White Ghost Tribe actually got forty-five points!"
"Sixty points! The Thousand-men Commander of the Wind Summoning Tribe, Nan Zhi Long. Could this person be the first in the written test?! "
Gradually, only Ning Fan, the sleeping Xian Yuchun and the Dark Sea Mage of the Sea Soul Division who had yet to submit their papers were left.
The Dark Sea Master was born to live a simple life. He did not like to get involved in the schemes of the grassland. The Dark Sea Tribe was also one of the few tribes that did not mock the Ta Mu Tribe.
Twelve hours had passed since the start of the written test. The Dark Sea Master kept his eyes closed from the beginning until the fourteenth hour. Then, he opened his eyes and slightly nodded as if he had learned something. Then, he began to answer his answer.
His score had also reached a new high in the last one hundred thousand years in the Southern Border. It was four hundred points!
"He actually got four hundred points … This person is indeed an old monster who has half a step into the Thought Fragmentation Realm. The depth of his Dao comprehension is definitely the first in the Southern Border!" Some of the cultivators of the Southern Border were shocked.
"Isn't this a bit too high?! In the entire Da Bei Realm, there are only a few who can get more than four hundred points before they reach the Thought Fragmentation Realm! And those who are able to do this, in the future, at the very least, will not be lower than the Wan Gu realm … "Someone who was good at research discovered this shocking fact. If that was the case, then this Dark Sea Master actually had the qualifications to aspire to the Wan Gu realm!
"Rumor has it that the Great Emperor of the Middle State has taken a liking to this Dark Sea Master's outstanding perception and wants to take him as a disciple. I did not believe this at first, but now I do! It seems like this Sea Spirit Tribe cannot be offended no matter what … "Some old monsters secretly made up their minds.
At this moment, the night had arrived. Dark Sea looked a little tired. It seemed like the fourteen hours of hard thinking had consumed a lot of his mental energy. However, his eyes were relaxed. He slowly left the examination ground with an otherworldly posture. He looked like an old fisherman who was wandering the Jianghu. It was as if he did not care about anything other than himself. When he was about to leave the examination ground, he slightly turned his head and looked at Ning Fan with a serious expression. Then, he frowned and looked at the sleeping Xian Yu Chun.
"There's no need to talk about this young master of the Evil Goat Tribe. He only got 1 point in the previous written exam. I'm afraid he will directly fall asleep this time. It's not worth mentioning. However, this external cultivator with the surname Ning is an Eternal Immortal Venerable. Even if his cultivation base is restricted, his Dao Comprehension will not be restricted. I wonder how many points he will get. I'm afraid it will not be less than five hundred points … "
Five hundred points. If the Eternal Immortal Venerables were to participate, most of them would get this number. From this point, it could be seen how difficult it was for Dark Sea Master to get four hundred points.
Dark Sea would never underestimate anyone. However, he did not believe that Ning Fan could do better than those Eternal Immortal Venerables. He was even more confident that if he was also an Eternal Immortal Venerable, he would definitely get more than five hundred points! Unfortunately, he had not completely broken through the bottleneck of the Thought Fragmentation Realm. Fortunately, as long as he becomes the disciple of the Great Emperor of the Middle State, the day of him becoming an Eternal Immortal Venerable would not be far away!
Time continued to pass.
The tenth hour, the eleventh hour, the twelfth hour … Xian Yu Chun suddenly woke up. He looked at the grassland that was illuminated by the morning sun. He was slightly dazed. Then, he smacked his head and laughed.
"I forgot that this is the written exam. I actually fell asleep. Ahahaha … Ahahaha …"
Immediately, it caused many cultivators in the surroundings to laugh mockingly.
Each of the cultivators of the Evil Goat Tribe felt a little embarrassed. They felt ashamed of their young master for falling asleep during the written exam. The patriarch of the Evil Goat Tribe felt his face turn red. The woman he loved the most actually gave birth to such a stupid son. This … This is really embarrassing. Sigh … Forget it! As your father, I don't expect you to get a good result. Just hurry up and take the exam!
"Quickly hand in your exam paper!" The patriarch of the Evil Goat Tribe shouted angrily.
"There's no hurry. There's no hurry. My master hasn't handed in his exam paper yet. I will wait for him to hand it in together!" Xian Yu Chun was surprised to find out that Ning Fan had not handed in his exam paper either. He suddenly felt a little touched. His master has such a high cultivation base. His comprehension ability must be very high. Why did he take so long to hand in his exam paper?! It must be because of him, Xian Yu Chun!
He was afraid that he would feel lonely sleeping alone in the examination hall. That's why he came here to accompany him! A good man! A good man!
"Master! Thank you! "
Xian Yu Chun took the exam paper. He wanted to write this sentence on the paper and pass it to Ning Fan like a piece of paper.
Currently, Ning Fan seemed to be deep in thought with his eyes closed. Thus, Xian Yu Chun did not dare to send him a voice transmission. He only dared to pass him a piece of paper. He could not tell if Ning Fan was thinking or sleeping. If Ning Fan was sleeping and he woke his master up, it would be too unfilial!
Oh my, I forgot how to write the words' Thank you master '…
Xian Yu Chun felt a headache coming on. He asked his father through voice transmission.
The face of the patriarch of the Evil Goat Tribe darkened with anger.
Why can't this silly son write such simple words?! That's not the main point. The main point is that it's the answer sheet of the mausoleum seizing battle. How can I pass you a piece of paper? This is a serious crime. It's a blasphemy against the prestige of the Sacred Mountain!
"Hand in your exam paper now! Don't disturb your master's enlightenment! "
His words hit Xian Yu Chun's sore spot. How could a good disciple like him, who was born with the Twenty-Four Filial Piety Sons, disturb his master's enlightenment? No way!
At that moment, he did not want to waste any more time. He casually recalled the scene he saw during the day and realized that his mind was completely blank. Feeling helpless, he could only write some random words on the exam paper and hand it in.
Not long after, the score was out.
Xian Yu Chun of the Evil Goat Tribe … 500 points!
"How is this possible! What did Xian Yu Chun write? How could the Five Emperors of Middle State give him a high score of 500 points! "
"I don't believe it. How can a fool get 500 points!"
"Could it be that the Five Emperors of Middle State gave him the wrong score?!"
"Shh! Be careful with your words! We cannot criticize the Five Emperors … "
A few cultivators who were shocked quickly shut their mouths. Because the old man's gloomy eyes had already locked onto those people who were speaking ill of the Five Emperors.
Criticizing the Five Emperors behind their backs was a serious crime! If these people continued to speak, the old man did not mind enforcing the law on the spot to teach them a lesson!
Of course, even this low-intelligence corpse demon was a little shocked. After all, no matter how he looked at this Xian Yu Chun, he looked like a fool. He even slept in the exam hall for an entire day. If this kind of person could get 500 points, then anyone could get 1000 points!
Strange, strange! Could it be that this kid is so talented that I couldn't see it! The old man started to doubt his own intelligence.
The entire Evil Goat Tribe was in a daze. Even the leader of the tribe who had always been smart could not figure out the situation. It was a pity that Xianyu Chun didn't understand what was so shocking about 500 points. 500 points didn't seem to be much different from 1 point. En, 500 minus 1 equals 2, which was two points more than 1 point. There was nothing to be surprised about. Why was everyone making a fuss about it?
The Dark Sea Mage who was always calm and indifferent also found it hard to calm down. If Ning Fan got 500 points, he could still comfort himself by saying that Ning Fan was an ancient Immortal Venerable and had the qualifications to surpass him. However, the one who got 500 points was Xian Yu Chun! Even the Dark Sea Mage who did not care about worldly affairs had heard of this fool whose name shook the entire Southern Border. This person had an extremely high aptitude for cultivation and had a unique understanding of the Soul Fusion Secret Technique. However, his mind was not complete. He often did stupid things that made people not know whether to laugh or cry. However, this person was able to get 500 points …
This was the Literary Exam. Only those who were capable could qualify! How could this kid surpass me?!
"What did you write on your answer scroll?!" The Dark Sea Mage suddenly walked over and asked in a deep voice.
It was extremely impolite to ask for the answer of the other party, especially when the Literary Exam had not ended yet. It was highly likely that the answer would be leaked and others would get a higher score. Fortunately, Ning Fan was the only one who had not submitted his answer. Xian Yu Chun respected Ning Fan as if he was a god. He was not worried that his answer would be leaked to Ning Fan at all. He even felt that his master copying his answer was a kind of recognition from his master. It was something worth celebrating! At that moment, he did not hide his answer anymore and directly said his answer loudly.
"I only wrote two sentences on my answer scroll: Is there a fire? Sorry, I didn't see it. The grass was burned? Sorry, I didn't see it. "
Xian Yu Chun stretched his body helplessly. Actually, when the old man announced the exam questions, he was already dozing off. He did not see the scene of the wild grass being burned.
When his father urged him to answer the questions, he honestly handed in an almost blank answer scroll. He said that he did not see anything and sincerely apologized to the five emperors of the Middle State. However, such an answer actually got him five hundred points. It was two points more than the one point he expected. His luck could not be better! Haha!
"Why can this answer get five hundred points?! Didn't he not see anything? He didn't even see the exam questions. Shouldn't there be no results?! "Some cultivators did not understand.
The Dark Sea Mage suddenly trembled. He quickly turned his head and looked at the scorched land that was burned.
No, no!
There was no fire here!
This scorched land was fake. The scene of the wild grass coming back to life was also fake!
"Solve!"
The Dark Sea Mage suddenly made a hand seal and shouted. The scenery of this place suddenly changed.
The scorched land disappeared. There was no trace of being burned. The new and tender wild grass also disappeared. It was the same withered and yellow wild grass that had grown for a season …
Illusion technique. It's actually an illusion technique …
He, Ming Hai, thought highly of himself. He did not realize that this exam question was just an illusion technique from the beginning!
No fire, no wildfire burning the plains, no wild grass coming back to life … It was all an illusion technique!
No wonder this kid said he did not see anything! So there was nothing at all …
"This kid is not stupid. He is obviously very smart but looks stupid!" The Dark Sea Mage took a cold breath. All the contempt he had for Xianyu Chun was swept away and replaced with respect.
If the Dark Sea Mage was not wrong, the illusion technique in this exam question came from the hands of the Middle State Five Emperors. Even the majority of broken thoughts could not see through it … This kid could do many things that broken thoughts could not. He deserved to get five hundred points. His future was limitless! This child had seen through everything from the very beginning, so he didn't even think about it and directly fell asleep. This kind of playful attitude was something that was rare and precious to cultivators, and it often allowed them to comprehend the truth of the Dao that others couldn't!
This kid … he could not compare to him!
"Young friend, your talent is number one in the Southern Border! I'm afraid even that external cultivator with the surname Ning might not be able to compare to you. "The Dark Sea Mage sighed.
"Wrong, wrong, wrong! That person is my master! How can I compare to even half a hair of my master! He is the true number one in the Southern Border! I only got five hundred points. If it was my master, he could easily get five thousand points! "Xianyu Chun said unhappily. He would not allow the Dark Sea Mage to look down on his master.
"Five thousand points … Young friend, you must be joking. Since ancient times, there has never been anyone who could get five thousand points in the first round of the theory exam. Even those great emperors could not do it when they were young. It is normal for that external cultivator with the surname Ning to get five hundred points. If it was one thousand points, it would be very difficult. If it was five thousand … hehe …" The Dark Sea Mage was shocked by Xianyu Chun's talent and did not want to become enemies with this genius. Therefore, he only laughed at Xianyu Chun's nonsense and did not mind.
"Is five thousand a lot? Isn't it just two points more than five hundred … "Xianyu Chun was startled. How come no one had gotten this number before? Could it be that he had calculated wrongly?
The Dark Sea Mage was startled. Even with his wisdom, he could not understand what Xianyu Chun meant. Five thousand is two points more than five hundred, what does this mean … Five thousand minus five hundred, of course it is not two. Could it be that this sentence has another meaning? Is he hinting something to me …
The more the Dark Sea Mage thought about it, the more complicated it became. He vaguely felt that he was being hinted at, but he could not understand the key point.
However, there were others who laughed disdainfully. Among them, the one who laughed the loudest was Nan Zhilong of the Wind Summoning Tribe!
"What a joke! If an external cultivator could get an unprecedented five thousand points, then all of us cultivators should die of shame! "
As soon as he said this, countless people laughed along with Nan Zhilong.
Xianyu Chun's face immediately darkened. If it was not because Nan Zhilong's cultivation was too high, he would definitely attack him immediately to protect his master!
At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed. It turned out that Ning Fan had ended his contemplation and handed in his script. His indifferent gaze suddenly turned to Nan Zhilong coldly.
Nan Zhilong, who was originally laughing wildly, suddenly felt a bone-chilling coldness. Half of his laughter was directly choked in his throat. It could not go in, could not come out. His face turned red and his heart was trembling.
What kind of terrifying gaze is that?! This man … This man must not be provoked. Otherwise, a great disaster will surely befall him!
Not only Nan Zhilong, but all the cultivators who were swept by Ning Fan's gaze shut their mouths in horror!
The entire place fell into dead silence!
Xianyu Chun was extremely excited. What he admired was Ning Fan's domineering manner. Without saying a word, Ning Fan was able to intimidate the weak. What kind of devil might was that?!
"May I know how many points Fellow Daoist got?" Master Ming Hai's question broke the atmosphere. Master Ming Hai was still very concerned about Ning Fan's results.
"I don't know. My score hasn't been given out yet." Ning Fan withdrew the coldness in his eyes and pointed at the groove of the beast face on the table.
Only then did everyone notice that the groove of the beast face on Ning Fan's table had not been opened even after a long time …
This meant that the five emperors of the Middle State had yet to give out Ning Fan's score!
As time passed, another two hours had passed and Ning Fan's score still had not been given out!
This was really a strange story in the Great Prairie! There had never been a cultivator who had not received his score after such a long time!
"Could it be that this person's answer made the five emperors of the Middle State unable to decide and give out an accurate score?" Many people secretly guessed, but they felt that this idea was a little ridiculous. What kind of answer would make the five emperors unable to give out a score? It was a terrible answer. That's not right. Those cultivators who scored zero points usually got their results very quickly … A particularly good answer? How good must it be for the five emperors to find it hard to choose?
Middle State, Capital Heaven Peak.
The results of the first round of the Mausoleum Seizing Battle must be decided by the five emperors of the Middle State together. This was an old rule. Just like the previous years, four of the five emperors of the Middle State gathered at Capital Heaven Peak to discuss the results of the group cultivators in the first round of the Mausoleum Seizing Battle.
Among the four Immortal Emperors, there were Great Emperor Lou Tuo and Great Emperor Gu Ling. These two were not the ones with the most authority among the four emperors. On the contrary, the other two emperors had more authority.
Of the remaining two emperors, one was dressed in red and green with a strange mask on his head that looked like he was smiling and crying at the same time. No one could see his true appearance. His Emperor title was Buddha's Sob. It was said that he had comprehended a wondrous technique from the tear of the Buddha statue. As a result, he achieved Dao and used Buddha's Sob as his title. He was only a step away from stepping into the seventh tribulation.
The other one was the one with the highest authority among the five emperors. He was an old man with an unusually cold face, giving people a feeling of meticulousness. His white beard reached the ground and he was holding an iron crutch that was surrounded by flames. His Emperor title was Capital Heaven, and Capital Heaven Peak was his immortal cave residence.
There was a teleportation formation on Capital Heaven Peak. From time to time, the papers of the Mausoleum Seizing Battle would be sent over. Every time a paper was sent over, hundreds of disciples of the four emperors would read through it first. Those who were not good enough would be given to the four emperors for evaluation, and the results would be decided by the four emperors together.
Normally, the first batch of papers that were sent over were filled in randomly by those who were not in their right mind. Most of them would be given zero marks. The three Great Emperors — Capital Heaven Dou, Lou Tuo, and Gu Ling — didn't care much about these papers. On the contrary, Buddha's Sob Great Monarch was very interested in them and would read them together with his disciples.
"Interesting, interesting. As expected, there are many strange papers in this year's Theory Exam … It's not in vain that I ended my seclusion early to participate in this grand event! It's a pity that Daoist Hundred Flowers can't make it here and won't be able to see these funny papers. Hehe, what a pity. "Buddha's Sob Great Monarch let out a strange laugh and suddenly looked at Emperor Lou Tuo with deep meaning.
Emperor Lou Tuo was slightly startled. Then, he continued calmly, "That's right. Daoist Hundred Flowers' injuries are too severe and she can't make it here. It's really a pity."
"Hehe, a thousand years ago, Daoist Hundred Flowers entered the Ominous Region to collect herbs but was besieged by a Tri-Flames Immortal Emperor level corpse devil. I wonder what Daoist Lou Tuo thinks about this?" Buddha's Sob Great Monarch let out a strange laugh.
"What? Daoist Fellow Daoist, are you suspecting that I'm the culprit?! "Lou Tuo's expression immediately darkened.
"Hehe, I didn't say anything. There's no need for Daoist Fellow Daoist to explain so quickly …" Before Buddha's Sob Great Monarch could finish his sarcasm, a reprimanding voice suddenly resounded.
"Enough! I didn't come to my Heaven Capital Peak today to settle the old scores with you! If anyone dares to do something unrelated, don't blame me for exercising my authority to punish them! "
As soon as Heaven Capital Great Monarch said that, not only Buddha's Sob Great Monarch and Lou Tuo's expressions changed, even Bone Spirit Great Monarch showed a trace of fear. His expression turned serious and he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.
The followers of the four Great Monarchs didn't dare to speak anymore. Each of them sat upright and still, confirming the results. Apart from the occasional argument, no one dared to say anything. The atmosphere was quite heavy.
The four Great Monarchs didn't talk much either. Occasionally, they would speak, but it was only to comment on the answers. Of course, the one who spoke the most was Buddha's Sob Great Monarch.
"Not bad, not bad. A little kid from the Sand Wolf Tribe of the Yellow Sand Grassland can actually answer such a question on the Dao of Fire. Hmm, I'll give you two hundred points."
"This is not bad. Someone from the West River Grassland actually answered the Five Fire and Five Earth … I'll give you one hundred and fifty points!"
"This … this is a little lacking. Let's give you two points. Alright, I've forgotten that this kid is your Bone Spirit Great Monarch's disciple. Three hundred points will do!"
"Qiu Long of the Northern Barbarian Tribe … Hmm, the Northern Barbarian Tribe is really full of talents. Another person like him has appeared. I'll give him four hundred points!"
"Sea Soul Tribe of the Southern Border … Oh, that kid from the Sea Soul Tribe. He should be an old man now, right? His comprehension is very deep. He can actually see a trace of change in the Dao Law. This person has the potential to become an Immortal Venerable. I'll give him four hundred points as well!"
In this written test, there were only slightly more than ten people who could get four hundred points. Most of these people would be remembered by the Great Monarchs of the Middle Province as their future disciples. Naturally, they wouldn't be stingy in giving them points.
One hundred and eight grasslands, three thousand tribes, and sixty thousand answers were gradually distributed. The four Great Monarchs had different expressions. Some were disappointed because they might have taken a fancy to a junior, but it didn't satisfy them. Some were delighted because they might have found a good seedling.
Suddenly, another answer came into the eyes of the four Great Monarchs.
"Evil Goat Tribe of the Southern Border, Xianyu Chun. There are a lot of good seedlings in the Southern Border this time. Take a look at this kid's answer. " After Great Monarch Buddha Sob read Xianyu Chun's answer, his eyes slightly narrowed. He passed the answer to the other three Great Monarchs and gave Great Monarch Lou Tuo a strange look.
Great Monarch Bone Spirit's expression also changed after reading the answer. Even Great Monarch Tian Du, who was always serious in speech and manner, showed a hint of surprise.
Only Great Monarch Lou Tuo's expression changed.
"This Evil Goat Tribe brat is quite impressive. He actually saw through Fellow Daoist Lou Tuo's Illusion Technique … Hehe. He's really a good seedling. Of course, it's also possible that Fellow Daoist Lou Tuo's Illusion Technique is too lousy, allowing a Life Immortal junior to see through it …" Great Monarch Buddha Sob laughed strangely.
"Humph! This old man's Illusion Technique naturally can't be wrong. It's this little thing's eyes that are too sharp! Of course, it's also possible that this kid gave a random answer and coincidentally guessed the truth! " Lou Tuo said coldly. At first, he still had a trace of admiration for Xianyu Chun. However, after being ridiculed by Great Monarch Buddha Sob, he immediately vented his anger on Xianyu Chun.
"Guessed? Hehe. If this kid can even guess the truth correctly, I'll be even more interested in him. I'll give him five hundred points. Does anyone have any objections? "Great Monarch Buddha Sob asked smilingly.
"If this kid can see through Fellow Daoist Lou Tuo's Illusion Technique with his Life Immortal cultivation, then five hundred points is definitely not too high." Great Monarch Bone Spirit agreed.
"This old man has no objections!" Great Monarch Tian Du said with indescribable joy and anger.
As such, Great Monarch Lou Tuo naturally couldn't raise any objections either. Xianyu Chun's five hundred points was confirmed just like that.
The time for the Theory Test was about to end. There were almost no more test papers being delivered. The few Great Monarchs were almost ready to wait for the final result of the Combat Test. Suddenly, another answer paper was delivered. It was also from the Southern Border.
"Oh? It's the answer paper of the Ta Mu Tribe. "Great Monarch Buddha Sob looked at Great Monarch Lou Tuo with a strange expression, causing Great Monarch Lou Tuo to harrumph coldly.
Most of the Great Monarchs had heard about Lou Tuo's bullying of the Ta Mu Tribe, but none of them would stand up for the Ta Mu Tribe. After all, the Ta Mu Tribe was just a weak and small tribe. There wasn't any outstanding talent in the tribe that could attract the attention of the Great Monarchs. Naturally, no one would do such a thankless thing.
"En? This answer paper … "Great Monarch Buddha Sob wanted to use the topic of the Ta Mu Tribe to mock Lou Tuo. Suddenly, his expression changed and he was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.
The other three Great Monarchs were naturally curious when they saw how shocked Buddha Sob was. They spread out their divine senses to check the answer paper. After reading it, all of them were shocked.
There wasn't a single word on the entire answer paper. There was only a circle.
A circle with a gap that couldn't be closed!
"This kid … actually saw the completion! Is this a coincidence, or … "(To be continued.)
