The inner city of Nine Heavens City spanned three hundred miles and was surrounded by a hundred-meter-tall city wall.
Around the magnificent city wall, there were a total of eight city gates in all directions.
More than a million young martial artists participating in the exam were waiting outside the city gates according to the number they received when they registered.
Even though the exam was divided into eight places, there were still more than a hundred thousand candidates gathered at each city gate.
The exam didn't end in one day, but in the next ten days, in batches.
Chu Xingyun was in the sixth batch. Six days after the exam began, Chu Xingyun finally left the inn and rushed toward the east gate of the inner city.
Along the way, Chu Xingyun analyzed in his heart.
Although the exam method changed every year, as the supreme ruler of the entire True Spirit Continent, Chu Xingyun had his own way of thinking.
That's right … It was thinking from another perspective!
When he was in the Wanjian Pavilion, Chu Xingyun had also selected seven disciples and three thousand followers. Therefore, he understood how a superior person thought.
Talent was important, but courage and wisdom were more important. Both were indispensable.
A true superior person needed talents who were both intelligent and courageous.
Of course, if there really was someone with extraordinary talent, then it would be a different story.
Someone like Shui Liu Xiang, who had extraordinary talent, couldn't be missed no matter what.
After handing in his exam at the city gate, Chu Xingyun followed the mark on the ground and entered the city gate.
Looking around, the inside and outside of the city were two completely different worlds.
Outside the city gate, there were rows upon rows of buildings. Although they were arranged neatly, they always gave people a sense of disarray.
But the inner city was different. All the buildings weren't arranged neatly, but they were arranged in picturesque disorder, giving people an incomparable sense of harmony and harmony.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Xingyun couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
The density of Spiritual Qi in the Universe World was more than double that of the True Spirit Continent.
But compared to the inner city, the density of Spiritual Qi in the outer city was almost double!
It was clear that these buildings were not arranged in a disorderly manner. Instead, all of the buildings were used as nodes of the formation.
All the buildings in the inner city were arranged into an extremely complicated and mysterious formation!
With Chu Xingyun's current realm, he still couldn't see through the function of this grand formation.
Firstly, Chu Xingyun had never seen a map of the entire inner city.
Secondly, this array was clearly built by the Emperor. Furthermore, it was built by countless generations of Emperors, generation after generation.
Not to mention Chu Xing Yun, even if it was a Venerable Emperor, it would not be easy to figure it out.
Once they entered the inner city, Chu Xingyun and the rest of the examinees were brought to the military camp near the east city gate.
This military camp occupied a very large area. Fully armed soldiers surrounded it with solemn expressions. Any troublemakers would be killed without mercy!
After entering a large auditorium in the military camp that could accommodate ten thousand people, everyone found their seats according to the number on their hands and sat down.
Looking at the densely packed young examinees around him, Chu Xingyun was very curious. With so many people gathered together, how would this assessment proceed?
Just as he was puzzled, a soundless spiritual pressure suddenly descended from the sky.
When he raised his head in shock, what entered his eyes was the three hundred and sixty bright jewels embedded in the dome of the auditorium.
Originally, Chu Xingyun thought that those glowing jewels were only used for illumination. But now, it seemed that his thinking was a little too simple.
As he sighed, Chu Xingyun felt his vision darken. When he regained his vision, he was no longer in the auditorium. Instead, he appeared in a sealed and narrow valley.
Admiring the surrounding scenery, Chu Xingyun simply couldn't believe what he had encountered.
Throughout the entire process, he didn't feel any fluctuations of spatial energy. Thus … he didn't really appear in a valley. In fact … he had fallen into an illusion array.
The so-called illusion array referred to a super array that targeted the five senses of a human and confused them.
The five senses were the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and touch. In other words, they were sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.
Sensing everything around him, with Chu Xingyun's knowledge and experience, he couldn't see anything that was out of place.
It was very obvious that this wasn't a simple illusion array. It was a top-notch one that could make ten thousand people hallucinate at the same time. It was an Emperor -level illusion array!
Rumble …
Just as Chu Xingyun was sighing, there was a violent rumble. In the valley in the distance, black figures turned from illusory to real and rapidly condensed.
Looking around, in the valley that was a hundred meters in diameter, a hundred Yin Yang Realm demonic wolves had condensed.
Over a hundred demonic wolves surrounded a bluestone altar. On the altar floated an exquisite golden token.
Just as Chu Xingyun was carefully observing, an old and solemn voice sounded above the valley.
All examinees, please take note …
The goal of this round is the golden token on the altar at the center of the valley. The first thousand people to obtain the golden token will pass the test. After that, everyone will be eliminated!
Hiss …
Faced with such a test, all the examinees couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Ten thousand examinees would participate in the test, but nine thousand would be eliminated. If that was the case, out of the million examinees, only a little more than a hundred thousand would be able to enter the second round!
Just as they were exclaiming, the old voice continued to reverberate.
Although this round is an illusion, the illusion array can still kill.
If you can't do it, please cherish your life. As long as you retreat to the entrance of the valley, you will be safe.
In addition, the top three examinees of this round will be directly exempted from the second round and can directly participate …
Dang! Dang!
Dang! Just as the old and solemn voice was speaking to its heart's content, a series of bell chimes suddenly rang out.
Faced with the booming bell chimes, all the examinees couldn't help but be puzzled. What was going on? The rules were just being introduced, why did the bell chimes interrupt?
This was an annual examination organized by the Jiuxiao Academy. How could the organization be so careless and unregulated?
How could the dignified Jiuxiao Academy make such a low-level mistake?
Just as all the examinees were puzzled, the old and solemn voice said with a hint of surprise, "Congratulations to examinee number 61468 for becoming the first examinee to obtain a golden token in this round of the examination."
What!
Hearing the examiner's words, all the examinees were stunned. What was going on? Weren't the rules of the examination being introduced? How could someone have obtained a golden token? Wasn't this cheating?
Faced with this unforeseen event, the examinees who were slower to react and more straightforward stood in the valley, loudly questioning the sky.
However, those who were quicker to react and more clear-headed and intelligent didn't think so. After being stunned for a moment, they slapped their thighs in annoyance and immediately rushed towards the direction of the valley.
Not to mention whether this was cheating or not, even if it was cheating, they could only raise their doubts after the examination.
