The courtyard where Xia Yan lived in the Seventh Heaven was at the end of the night in the Seventh Heaven of the Star Palace. The sky was filled with stars as far as the eye could see. Wisps of coolness belonging to the night spread throughout the entire Seventh Heaven.
In an almost completely closed house in this courtyard, a hazy figure sat motionless on a futon. There was silence all around, without any sound.
Suddenly, a slight flow of air appeared between the breath of this blurry figure. After the air flow surged out, it suddenly rotated violently, forming a wave of air in this small space, spreading out in all directions. Suddenly
, the figure's eyes opened, and two rays of light were exceptionally bright in the darkness. This confused figure was none other than Xia Yan, who had been in seclusion for three consecutive months.
"It's been three months!"
"The strength of my soul and the upper limit of spiritual power in my body have increased a lot. I have mastered four low-level magical powers and one mid-level magical power."
"Compared to three months ago, my strength has improved a lot. But... this is far from enough!"
"continue……"
Six months later!
Xia Yan opened his eyes again in the secret room. The progress in the past three months is similar to the previous three months. The Great Chaos Technique, whether it is auxiliary ability, offensive ability or defensive ability, has reached the fourth level of magical powers and secrets.
power.
"Hmm...but I am still very far away from the middle stage of the ninth level Spirit Emperor!"
Fifteen months later!
"call!"
Xia Yan's figure suddenly jumped up from the ground. There was a rapid and crisp sound all over his body, and a majestic breath rolled out. The entire secret room was shaken violently. Then, Xia Yan's body flashed and left.
The secret room has already appeared in the courtyard.
The morning sun has just risen, and the lush vegetation in the yard is floating slightly. Drops of crystal dew reflect colorful brilliance on the green vegetation.
"Suck~"
Xia Yan took a deep breath, and the luster on his face gradually became rounded.
"This time, I have been in seclusion for fifteen months. There is not much time left before the secret realm examination begins." The spiritual power in Xia Yan's body quickly circulated hundreds of times through thousands of meridians, and then quietly fell silent.
Come down.
"In the past fifteen months, my soul strength, spiritual power strength, and the power of the Grand Chaos Technique have all improved a lot. However, compared to the previous progress, the progress over the past year has been very small. The distance is very small.
I am still far away from the mid-level ninth-level Spirit Emperor realm. If I continue to practice normally at the current speed, it will take at least several decades before I can step into the mid-level ninth-level Spirit Emperor realm."
Xia Yan couldn't help but sigh. Xia Yan's Great Chaos Technique is now comparable to level six magical powers.
Even he needs such a long time. You must know that the speed at which he can absorb the Seven-Yuan Pill is far faster than that of ordinary ninth-level Spirit Emperor practitioners. Xia Yan can absorb three Seven-Yuan Pills in one day.
Spiritual power. Even for a cultivator of Guo Sanqi's level, it would take about three days to absorb a Qi Yuan Dan. This shows that Xia Yan's strength increases much faster than that of ordinary cultivators.
As for soul strength!
Ordinary practitioners can purchase Qingyou Soul Power to increase soul strength. However, the absorption of Qingyou Soul Power is not that easy, and is far inferior to Xia Yan’s soul spring water. Xia Yan’s soul is in the second layer of the Lingluo Ring.
It can continuously absorb and refine the soul spring water. But the green ghost soul power cannot be refined in this way.
Taken together, Xia Yan's cultivation speed is several times faster than that of practitioners like Suo Qi and Guo Sanqi. Even so, it would take dozens of Xia Yan's steps to reach the middle stage of the ninth level Spirit Emperor.
Years. From the mid-ninth level Spiritual Emperor realm to the late ninth-level Spiritual Emperor realm, it will definitely take longer.
"Whoosh~"
After a breath or two, Xia Yan's white figure arrived in a courtyard not far from the courtyard where he lived. This courtyard was the residence of Suoqi practitioners.
"Ha...it's you Xia Yan!"
Suo Qi sensed a wave of spiritual power appearing in his courtyard, and quickly walked out of the room. When he saw Xia Yan, a warm smile appeared on his face.
"Brother Suoqi!" Xia Yan also smiled.
"What? After fifteen months of seclusion, you have made a lot of progress, right?" Suo Qi said in a natural tone with his eyes flashing.
"There is some progress, but it doesn't seem to be big. I am not sure about participating in the secret realm assessment this time." Xia Yan shook his head and said, he was really not sure. He had never seen those strong men in the Nine Heavens.
I don't know how strong the opponent is. But I can guess with my toes that those people must be much stronger than Ba Hu.
Thousands of people were vying for twenty spots, and Xia Yan was really not sure.
"Confidence and will are very important!" Suo Qi's voice condensed slightly, "Xia Yan, your greatest advantage is not actually your cultivation talent, but your confidence and will. I can feel it! Xia Yan, your will
, is almost unshakable, and has your own opinions. For some difficult decisions, you can quickly and completely rely on your own judgment to decide. It is difficult for you to be influenced by external forces. This is what most practitioners
It’s something that’s hard to do.”
"This is not something you can do if you want to. A person's will and belief are firm, not a deliberate expression, but a natural expression." Suo Qi looked at Xia Yan and said slowly.
"Brother Suoqi, you are too flattering to me." Xia Yan smiled, then changed the subject and asked, "Practitioner Suoqi, has the specific date for the assessment been decided?"
"Well, if you don't come out of seclusion within seven days, I will go and pull you out directly." Suo Qi nodded.
Even if Suo Qi goes into seclusion and forgets the time, he will go and pull Xia Yan out.
"So fast!" Xia Yan's eyes flashed. Seven days later, it will be the official start of the assessment. Whether he can win the quota will be determined by his future assessment.
"Yes!" Suo Qi said, "Xia Yan, you should stop practicing in the past few days and adjust your mentality to the best. Mentality is also very important. If two people are of equal strength, they will win in the competition.
Yes, it must be the cultivator with a more determined mind."
When Xia Yan heard this, he nodded with deep understanding.
Jiuchongtian Examination Institute!
"Swish swish swish~"
Rays of brilliance cover the entire sky!
Tens of thousands of cultivators gathered in the Assessment Institute of Jiuchongtian today. A strong aura came and went. Xia Yan, Suo Qi and others, as well as Yunu Cave, Qingzhu Cave, Qingyuan Cave and other caves
The practitioners all flew together to the assessment institute of Jiuchongtian and stopped in a relatively open place.
As his eyes swept across, Xia Yan's consciousness naturally spread out. The detected powerful aura shook Xia Yan's mind, but there was no change in the expression on Xia Yan's face.
"The more intense the competition, the more interesting it is!" Xia Yan thought to himself.
"Practitioner Suo Qi, practitioner Xia Yan, practitioner Wang Su, practitioner Huang Fengying, and practitioner Miluo Yu!"
As soon as Xia Yan and others arrived, several figures flew towards them, and at the same time, voices were transmitted.
Looking closely, Xia Yan saw the persons in charge of the Immortal Wind Cave of the Fifth Heaven and the Sixth Heaven and other caves flying over. The cultivators of the Fifth Heaven and the Sixth Heaven, that is, a very small number of powerful cultivators,
There are also some people in charge of the caves who have the ability to sign up for the secret realm assessment. Ordinary practitioners cannot sign up at all because they cannot contribute 10 million points to the Star Dou Palace.
"Haha, Lanhe cultivator, Lu Tao cultivator..."
Everyone on both sides smiled and greeted each other.
Practitioners from all levels of heaven in Batu Cave and other caves also gathered in one place, chatting with each other, and occasionally casting unfriendly glances at them, waiting for the official start of the secret realm assessment.
"More than thirty thousand people!"
Xia Yan checked his consciousness and quickly determined the number of people participating in the secret realm assessment. The number of people who had already arrived exceeded 30,000, and including those who had not yet arrived, the number of people would probably exceed 40,000.
You must know that these 40,000 people are all the elites among the elites, and they are not comparable to the elite disciples of the ordinary Star Dou Hall.
"My goal is to be one of the twenty places to enter the first-level secret realm!" Xia Yan's thoughts are extremely determined. As for how many people compete for the number of places to enter the secret realm, it has nothing to do with him. He only needs to win one spot. The goal
, one of the twenty places in the first-level secret realm.
At this moment, waves of tyrannical pressure suddenly appeared in the distant sky. This feeling was much stronger than the many tyrannical auras that Xia Yan detected in the assessment institute. Immediately, Xia Yan saw,
On the horizon, many figures appeared one after another.
"So strong!" Xia Yan couldn't help but muttered silently in his heart.
"Xia Yan, have you seen those cultivators who have just arrived? Those cultivators all passed the secret realm assessment last time. There were more than ten people who successfully competed for the first-level secret realm assessment in the last secret realm assessment.
The quota is up." Suo Qi's eyes narrowed, he looked at the figures appearing in the sky, and said quickly to Xia Yan, his breath a little stagnant.
"What?"
"Did they win the first-level secret realm in the last secret realm assessment?" Xia Yan was shocked. He couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly and looked at Suo Qi.
"Yes!" Suo Qi nodded, "In the Nine Heavens, there is a group of cultivators whose status is so high that even the cultivators of the Thirty-sixth Heaven are far inferior to them. This group of people is also divided into two groups.
.”
Suo Qi narrowed his eyes, and the figures who had just appeared were already in the sky above the assessment institute, looking down at the many practitioners below.
"Of these two groups, one group is those who have won the secret realm assessment quota before, and the other group is a few direct disciples!" Suo Qi's voice quickly reached Xia Yan's ears.
