The martial arts immortals in the modern world.

Chapter 289 Attitude
"Demon slaying! It's actually a demon slaying series assessment task!?"

"Damn it! I had already heard that there would be several disciples from big families taking the test together, but how come I didn't see any of them? This is over! The stewards didn't receive enough money, and the 'lottery' drew the most difficult task among the thirty-four tasks... Ten thousand Pure Yang Pills are just wasted! Our entire family has accumulated money for ten years to get me this opportunity..."

"Are there any wealthy cultivators out there? Hurry up and take the 'Glorious Assessment' to calm the deacons and elders down and lower the difficulty of the assessment."

"Where do these wealthy cultivators come from? Those who are considered wealthy in the Jindan realm are all members of large clans. Members of large clans are born as direct disciples of the Dongxu elders behind them. They are superior to the inner sect disciples. Why do they need to take the inner sect examination?"

"It's over. Our family has been targeted by a demon who is waiting for me to become a disciple of Tiandao Sect so that he can use the name of Tiandao Sect to intimidate the demon and make him dare not act rashly. If I fail the assessment this time, the demon will surely act recklessly. Our family is finished."

There was a commotion among the four hundred or so examinees.

Many people showed fear and despair in their eyes.

Xiang Yunlong, who had just finished talking with the elders, returned to the scene and saw everyone's reactions. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart: "You want to use the name of my Tiandao Sect to do things with 10,000 Pure Yang Pills? There is no such a good thing."

On the surface, he spoke righteously in a tone of uprightness: "The nine veins of the demon race are the biggest enemy of our ten sects of the immortal way. As an immortal cultivator, you must take it as your responsibility to uphold justice and slay demons. If you don't even have the courage to fight against demons, what immortal cultivation and what path are you seeking? Therefore, your assessment task this time is to face this ninth-level demon and persist in the formation for ten breaths."

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment and said, "However, any sect will give preferential treatment to geniuses. Our Tiandao Sect attaches great importance to the cultivation of geniuses and prodigies. Therefore, I can give you another chance. Those who think they are geniuses or prodigies can apply for the corresponding assessment. You have three minutes to consider. After three minutes, the assessment will officially begin. At that time, you can only be admitted to the sect based on your strength."

Yaoguang calmly watched the drama performed by the deacon and the Dongxu elder.

Although he had heard about it more than once before, the so-called Ten Sects of Immortality were actually just a group of people forming an alliance of interests out of mutual support.

It’s just that the elders, peak masters, clan masters, and sect leaders belong to the rent-seeking class of this interest group, and the rest belong to the rent-seeking class.

at the moment……

His eyes were finally opened.

Rumors from the outside world all glorify these top sects.

"The top powerhouses actually have the power to create order on the North Sea Star. However, due to the special situation on the North Sea Star, the top powerhouses only want to ascend to heaven and go to the fairyland after becoming immortals. They don't care much about the future of the North Sea Star. As for the Shattered Void-level powerhouses who are second only to the group of Dao-enhanced ones, a chaotic situation allows them to gain better benefits and achieve Dao more quickly. The same is true for the Refined Void and Cave Void levels."

Yaoguang gradually saw through the true face of Beihaixing: "I even suspect that the chaos in Beihaixing is deliberately condoned by them, just to better sell the 'sense of security' brought by the top sects and force those who have achieved success in cultivation to find ways to join their sects."

They tried their best to publicize that the outside world was in dire straits, caught up in war and chaos, and everyone was in danger of losing their lives and unable to get enough food, and that only by joining their sect could they enjoy peace and tranquility.

In this way, no matter how much the sect exploits the middle and lower classes, and no matter how much they treat them as cattle and horses, as long as they can still survive, these middle and lower classes will not dare to betray the sect easily.

On the contrary, those powerful cultivators who have achieved the state of Cave Void have broken out of the limitations of the middle and low levels. They have a long-term vision and great strength. They have a wider range of choices and do not have to be limited to one sect or one school. Some of the top sects are scrambling to recruit them.

"Dongxu, only by cultivating Dongxu can you truly have the right to speak in Beihai Star and obtain the most basic rights of 'freedom'."

Yaoguang said in his heart.

but……

almost.

After becoming an inner disciple, he immediately ran for the true disciple. When he became a true disciple, he went to Dashang to collect the bounty on Tong Yan and others. Then he hunted in the Storm Sea for a while to collect the Pure Yang Pill that condensed the azure golden pill.

When the azure golden elixir transformed into the second stage, which was the middle stage of the azure golden elixir, he was directly promoted to the realm of Dongxu.

Three minutes passed quickly.

Frightened by the difficulty of the demon-slaying series of missions, three more people chose to take the genius channel.

but……

There are only these three people.

The Genius Channel requires up to 3 Pure Yang Pills.

Even for the Yaoyang Golden Pill, which is one of the top ten sects in the immortal world, the profit from making Chunyang Pills is only a little over 100 in a year, even if it makes money from all sources.

3 pieces...

The equivalent of three hundred years!
And this is after not eating, drinking, or practicing for three hundred years.

Under normal circumstances, if a Yaoyang Jindan-level disciple could save 3 Chunyang Pills in a thousand years, he could be considered to be a good financial manager.

Xiang Yunlong waited for three minutes, and then hesitated for another minute or two. Seeing that it seemed that no one continued to enter the Genius Channel and the Prodigy Channel, he could only consider himself unlucky for meeting a group of poor guys, and then he just waved goodbye.

"The assessment begins. Numbers one to ten, enter the formation!"

At his command, the operation of the formation seemed to change and no longer affected human monks.

At that moment, ten Yaoyang Jindan gritted their teeth and entered the formation.

These ninth-level monsters that are comparable to the azure golden elixir are not beasts without intelligence. They know very well what to do to avoid suffering in the future.

Since this group of people did not satisfy the elders of Tiandao Sect, they could just kill them. This would not only vent their hatred towards the human race, but also please the human Dongxu. It would be killing two birds with one stone. Why not?

Therefore, as soon as the ten Yaoyang Jindan-level disciples entered, these ninth-level monsters that had been somewhat docile a second ago suddenly jumped up and roared towards the Yaoyang Jindan of the human race.

Within a few breaths, three Yaoyang Jindan-level examinees were torn apart and blood was spilled on the spot.

The remaining seven people, except for one person who managed to hold on, all escaped from the formation, their eyes full of fear: "I don't want to take the test anymore, I don't want to take the test anymore..."

"Humph! As one of the ten sects of the immortal way, our Tiandao Sect has always been striving for excellence in recruiting disciples! Since you don't have talent, you must show enough fighting power. You have neither talent nor strength, and you still want to join our Tiandao Sect!? Do you really think that our Tiandao Sect is a garbage collection place?"

As Xiang Yunlong spoke, he waved his hand violently. A violent force swept up the six escaped Yaoyang Jindan and threw them directly to the foot of the mountain: "Get out of Tiandao Gate." Perhaps in their cities, families, and sects, they were respected senior brothers, the hope of the family, and the stars of the sect, but in Xiang Yunlong's opinion, these people could not come up with money, which proved that they had no background.

Weak strength proves that he has no talent.

He had no burden in bullying and humiliating Yaoyang Jindan, who had neither background nor talent and was not even a member of the Tiandao Sect.

The six people who were thrown out were humiliated one by one, shocked, frightened and angry, but...

After taking a look at the Elder Dongxu who was in charge of the assessment, he swallowed down his fear, anger, and unwillingness.

The life of the North Sea Stars has taught them how to respect the strong.

In this situation, after being thrown down from the upper level of the mountain, the six people climbed up in a panic and left in a hurry.

"waste."

Xiang Yunlong sneered disdainfully in his heart.

He glanced at the person holding on tightly in the formation, and the result was...

The examinee who really died at the hands of the ninth-level demon said in a pointed way: "Those who can't see the situation clearly, don't they know their own weight?"

He turned his gaze towards the crowd again, and said in a condescending manner: "You have seen the difficulty of the test. Those who are not sure should leave as soon as possible to avoid giving away their lives. Okay, next batch."

Of the ten examinees, six failed, four died, and no one passed.

This horrific casualty rate immediately frightened the remaining people.

However, ten thousand Pure Yang Pills were basically all the assets that many Yao Yang Golden Pills could save in their lifetime. Even though the test was extremely dangerous, the opportunity gained by these ten thousand Pure Yang Pills was already worth risking their lives for.

Of the more than 400 people in the field, less than 30 left due to fear, and the rest still gritted their teeth and took the test one by one.

Among this group of ten people, two died tragically, and eight reacted quickly and escaped from the formation, thus failing the assessment.

Looking at the eight people who escaped, Xiang Yunlong even cursed inwardly, wondering why the sect allowed people to enter and exit freely when setting up these formations.

Those who fail the exam will just die in there.

If you can’t even afford the fee for the genius channel, you’ll probably only take the exam once in your life and won’t be considered a “repeat customer” at all.

But if you think about it carefully, it is precisely because the formation can be entered and exited freely and there is a way to retreat when you feel you are defeated that these Yaoyang Jindan people would be so optimistic.

Furthermore...

If the mortality rate of the assessment is too high, it will also make other people feel afraid.

By then, there will be fewer assessors and their income will also decrease.

The assessment, which lasts for ten breaths per round, naturally progresses very quickly.

The pass rate is frighteningly low.

Of the first 130 people who passed the assessment, only eight passed, less than 10%, while the death toll was as high as 25, nearly 20%.

Compared with others, Xiang Yunlong's attitude towards those who passed the assessment is obviously much better.

After all, those who can pass the demon-slaying assessment may have a chance to compete for the position of true successor in the future.

"next batch."

As Xiang Yunlong spoke again, Yaoguang also stepped out of the crowd and entered the formation.

As soon as he entered the formation, he keenly sensed something.

This array area appears to be only a hundred meters in radius, but the space inside has expanded ten times. Moreover, entering the array is like entering a stream of water; energy dissipation and power burst are affected.

"Roar!"

While he was thinking, the ninth-rank demon that had devoured several Jindan realm examinees had already roared and attacked. Its ferocious expression and the blood on the corners of its mouth were enough to give any cultivator a mental shock.

However, Yaoguang's expression did not change much.

He did not use the Dragon Sword, but directly attacked with a split air attack.

The next step to becoming an inner sect disciple is to compete for the position of a true disciple. However, the number of true disciples in Tiandao Sect is even less than that in Taiyi Sect, with only eighty-eight. Among the eighty-eight true disciples, there are only six blazing white golden elixirs, and the remaining eighty-two are azure golden elixirs.

If he wants to seize the position of true successor, he must demonstrate the strength of the Azure Golden Core level.

Therefore, facing this ninth-level monster, he used a Sky-Splitting Strike, and even without the amplification of the Wandering Dragon Sword, he still forced the ninth-level monster back head-on.

This was also the first time since the assessment that someone had been able to face off against a ninth-order demon.

This scene made Xiang Yunlong's heart tremble.

The Elder Dongxu who was in charge of the assessment opened his eyes first, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
