There were two ways to earn points. The first was to kill beasts, and the second was to enter the area.
The first way was to earn very few points. Even if you kill beasts, you won't get much. Only the second way could you earn a lot of points.
However, compared to killing beasts, this method was much more difficult and dangerous. The first few areas were easy, but the later ones were full of danger. Even the Emperor's Candidate had to be careful.
Therefore, most cultivators would act according to their abilities and only wander around the first five areas. They didn't dare to step into the later areas.
However, Ling Xian didn't care.
The later areas were truly dangerous. Not only were there seventh leveled beasts, but there were also many dangerous places. If one is not careful, one will die.
But to Ling Xian, this wasn't much.
He had six undefeatable realms on him. Though he couldn't fight above his own level, it was very difficult for seventh leveled beings to kill him.
Therefore, he safely arrived at the seventh area and his points skyrocketed.
In an instant, his ranking left the last place and soared to the 75th place!
This jump was not small, but it was reasonable.
The seventh area had 64,000 points. Naturally, he was ranked top 100!
"As I thought, crossing areas is the key. If I can get to the tenth area, I will be the winner for sure." The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up, revealing an expectant smile.
Then, he released his Qi and searched for the Forest of Dreams.
In terms of fame, the Forest of Dreams was not as famous as the Pool of Cleansing Swords. However, its effects were just as miraculous.
It was located in the seventh area and could make people fall into illusions and experience an unusual experience. This sounded like it would only bring harm and no benefits. Illusions were very dangerous. What if they couldn't get out?
But in reality, there were only benefits and no benefits.
The Forest of Dreams was very miraculous. The illusions it creates can only last for half an hour. No matter if one is lost or not, once the time is up, one will wake up.
In other words, there was no danger of falling into the illusion and one would only gain a special experience.
To any spiritual being, this was a good thing.
Therefore, Ling Xian decided to go to the Forest of Dreams first before heading to the eighth area.
After some time, he felt a strange vibration. It was weak and mysterious.
"Found it." Ling Xian softly grinned. After a few breaths, he appeared inside the Forest of Fantasy.
Just like its name, this place was so beautiful that it was almost like a dream. The colorful leaves danced in the wind, and it was picturesque and magnificent.
However, before Ling Xian could appreciate it, he fell into the illusion.
In this illusion, his identity was that of a scholar who studied hard and came to the capital to take the imperial examination.
Not only did he lose all of his magic power, even his memories had become blurry. If it weren't for Ling Xian's powerful Qi, he would've thought the scholar was him.
"You want me to become the top scholar and enter the imperial court …"
Ling Xian faintly smiled and did not resist. He followed the script set by the Hidden Territory.
After that, he failed. Not to mention becoming the top scholar, he couldn't even pass the Jinshi examination.
This made Ling Xian shake his head and laugh. He accepted it calmly and began to review his homework in preparation for the next time.
Unfortunately, he failed again.
This time, Ling Xian accepted it with a smile and was not at all depressed.
After that, he fell into an endless cycle of failure.
Time after time, time after time, he failed again and again. Ling Xian's smile lessened and he resisted more and more.
Though he still remembered his real identity, the Hidden Territory was far too realistic. It made him subconsciously enter the identity of a scholar. He was happy because he read books and bitter because he failed.
Slowly, he became a little depressed. In the end, he lost his soul.
He failed too many times. Even if he had a heart of steel, he couldn't handle it.
What could he do? The Hidden Territory was far too realistic. It made Ling Xian subconsciously enter the mentality of a scholar. No matter how strong his mentality was, it was hard for him to handle countless failures.
In the end, however, he successfully passed.
Even though his hair was already white and he was in his twilight years, he still managed to pass the exam this time.
Then, the Hidden Territory disappeared. Ling Xian exclaimed and his expression revealed some joy.
Though the taste of failure was not good, the feeling of being able to break through the haze of failure was something to be happy about.
This meant his mentality was more determined. No matter how many times he failed, he could not be defeated.
"What a rare experience, what a rare realization. This trip was not a waste."
Ling Xian softly smiled. His Heart of Undefeatable Realm was becoming more complete and more determined.
Though he was cursed by Heaven's Abyss and did not have much time left in his life, after this experience, he felt like his future was brighter.
"Search, break the curse, and step onto the peak. Nobody can stop my footsteps."
Mumbling, Ling Xian disappeared from where he stood. When he reappeared, he was in the eighth region.
Instantly, his points skyrocketed and pushed him into the top 10. He was now ranked fourth!
This time, everyone was stunned. Other than disbelief, there was nothing but disbelief.
What could they do? What happened was far too shocking. To jump from last place to fourth, anyone would find this hard to believe.
"What the f * ck, he must have run into a portal and been transported to the tenth region."
"Unbelievable. How can a piece of trash who has been at the bottom of the leaderboard be ranked fourth?"
"This is a fantasy. Either he was lucky enough to run into a portal, or my eyes are playing tricks on me."
"There are no portals in the trial grounds and his points skyrocketed. In other words, he used his own capabilities to get to the last few regions!"
Everyone was in awe. There was only one possibility for his points to skyrocket, and that was to get to the last few regions.
To know that the last few regions were difficult and dangerous existences. Even the most famous Heaven's Favorites don't have the ability to get there.
Yet now, Ling Xian had done it. Naturally, everyone was in awe. Especially since he has been ranked last for a long time, this kind of shock was even more intense.
"Based on his points, he must have reached the eighth region!"
"Unbelievable. How can he have the capabilities to get through the eighth region?"
"Even the strongest descendant of a clan cannot get through the eighth region. Only the candidate of the God Emperor has the right to do so."
"Could it be … he is a candidate of the God Emperor?"
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air, then fell into silence.
Though this was hard to accept, the reality was before everyone's eyes. If he didn't get to the eighth region, how could his points skyrocket? Without the capabilities of a candidate of the God Emperor, how could he get to the eighth region?
Not to mention the Eighth Region, even the Seventh Region was considered a forbidden area to most people. Yet Ling Xian had gotten through it. This was enough to prove that he had the capabilities of a candidate of the God Emperor!
Therefore, everyone had to accept this reality. Then, they began to pay close attention.
Ling Xian was now ranked fourth. He was only 10,000 points away from third place, the Emperor of Medicine. He was also 30,000 points away from first place, the Seventh Beast.
In other words, he had the right to be first.
Therefore, everyone was paying close attention to see if he can create another glorious achievement!
