Sea Cultivation: Giant Ships and Heavy Artillery Knock on the Door to All Races

Chapter 252 Entering the senior management's field of vision and leading the trend

Now that the Chu family is in decline, it is unable to support multiple Nascent Soul seeds at the same time and can only fully support one.

And Chu Junhao is certainly not the only seed of the Chu family. He can only try to get support and investment from other places. Otherwise, after he forms the Dan, the Chu family will not be able to provide much help, and his chances of forming the Nascent Soul are slim.

That’s right, what Lin Qianfan said just now actually touched his heart. The Chu family’s real Nascent Soul seeds did not need to come out to compete.

Of course, Lin Qianfan was not pretending, but he really had the ability. Because the pressure that each person endured was not exactly the same, the formation was appropriately adjusted according to the level of the trial-taker.

Although higher realms generally bring some advantages, this advantage is not absolute. As long as one's own foundation is solid enough and the north wind does not sweep away too much spiritual power, the obstacles will not be too exaggerated.

Lin Qianfan's spiritual power happened to be very solid, without any fragility, and the north wind had little effect on him, so he dared to lead the charge.

At this stage, it is no longer a simple division into the first, second and third echelons, but a serious differentiation with huge gaps between them.

Some people are gritting their teeth and trying to reach a higher level;

Some have already seen the gap clearly and are searching for and adjusting the optimal height, intending to stop and consolidate, turning trials into gains;
However, the first echelon always exists. As long as the foundation is solid enough and there are no loopholes, then we can keep moving forward at a steady pace!
Moreover, the number of people in the first echelon is actually not small. They still account for nearly a quarter of the total, which is very concentrated. Obviously, the overall quality of this group of scholars is still good.

"Show me his information!"

Because Lin Qianfan took one more step and was at the front of the first echelon, even though he was only one level ahead of everyone else, the fact that he could reach this step at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment was already conspicuous enough and attracted attention.

In the eyes of the peak Jindan cultivators, Lin Qianfan's breath was very steady, his output was stable, and he was even taking the time to absorb external spiritual energy. It was obvious that he was not forcing himself, but was really capable.

"This is the detailed information submitted by the Lin family of the Yulong Islands!"

Xiao Yichen handed the jade slip of Lin Qianfan's information to the master. It contained the Lin family's detailed record of Lin Qianfan. Except for a few things that could not be written, all other basic information was written in great detail.

"He has a good growth experience. He is a cultivator with three spiritual roots who rose up in adversity. He is not a flower in a greenhouse and has some potential."

The great gentleman had a very high opinion of Lin Qianfan. He said that it was not shameful to have suffered hardships and hardship, and in some places it was even a plus.

"Do you need to verify it again?"

"Of course we need it! Thousand Star City is a hodgepodge of good and bad people these days. We can't let anyone with bad intentions sneak into Wuwei Palace!"

Most of the Yuanying Taoist sects in the Storm Ocean follow the elite route. They do not pursue quantity, but focus on quality. They require their disciples to be absolutely pure and loyal. Even registered disciples must have a clean background that can be verified to avoid future troubles.

"Okay, after the assessment is over, I will start investigating!"

When Lin Qianfan stepped onto the 5001st step, he looked back. Now there were less than 20 people in the first echelon, and most of them were in the late foundation building stage, with no one in the early foundation building stage.

Now only the first echelon has the largest number of people. Various situations have already emerged behind them. Some people have been knocked out by the Shuofeng Stage, and some have stopped completely and started to practice on the spot. The number of people who are still climbing up is no more than half.

"You're useless! Tsk tsk tsk~"

Lin Qianfan looked at Chu Junhao with contempt and said something sarcastic, then continued to move forward without looking back, always maintaining his advantage.

Lin Qianfan knew that a temporary lead was not considered a lead. Only if he was ahead all the time and remained ahead until the end of the assessment could he be considered a real leader. Only then could his Dao heart be truly struck!
"hateful!"

Chu Junhao walked up the thousand steps without distraction. He thought he had gotten rid of Lin Qianfan, but he didn't expect that Lin Qianfan was still one step ahead of him. At the same time, he also realized that Lin Qianfan must be really powerful.

"I'll let you pretend for a while longer! I want to see how long you can keep pretending!"

Chu Junhao knew Lin Qianfan’s purpose and tried hard to eliminate the interference.

The focus of cultivation in the early and middle stages of foundation building is often on realm first, and priority is given to the speed of progress, because people with higher cultivation levels are more likely to stand out in various competitions and more easily obtain various resources.

But in the late stage of foundation building, all those who are aspiring to the Golden Elixir Avenue will slow down and begin to consolidate their foundation and make up for their shortcomings. This is why it is more advantageous to participate in this trial in the late stage of foundation building, and this is also the capital of Chu Junhao's arrogance.

Born into a former Nascent Soul force, he already had a good foundation, and he had accumulated experience for many years, and had even honed his skills to the peak of foundation building. He did not think he was worse than anyone else present. His goal was not to reach a specific level, but to surpass everyone and take first place, in order to prove that his ability was not inferior to others.

The reason why he came to Wuwei Palace this time was because he took into consideration that Wuwei Palace would relax the conditions for recruiting registered disciples due to its special circumstances. Even if he was from the Chu family, he would most likely not be deliberately blocked.

"Humph!"

Chu Junhao adjusted his mindset, kept his feet on the ground, and climbed up the stairs.

Most other people don't care about their grievances. The jurisdiction of Thousand Star City is too large, and everyone only has some brief intersections. It is impossible for everyone here to reach the Golden Elixir level. Even if they reach the Golden Elixir level, they will be in different circles. Instead, only one's own cultivation is the most important.

However, there is one difference. They previously thought that Chu Junhao was noisy and suspected that he was deliberately bullying Lin Qianfan by relying on his status. They couldn't stand those who bullied others by taking advantage of their power.

But today, Lin Qianfan looked particularly annoying. He wanted to be the center of attention even though he was only at the fourth level of foundation building. It was disgusting that he had to take that extra step and put himself ahead of everyone else.

Although the overall speed was getting slower and slower, the number of people in the first echelon was getting smaller and smaller, and people were constantly falling behind, but when they reached the 6001st step, there were still more than a dozen people, and the gap was not widening.

"Hey? I thought you were lost, but you're still following me!"

When he reached this step, Lin Qianfan was still using spiritual power as the only support and did not use any other power. Instead, his confidence became more and more full, and he naturally couldn't help but attack Chu Junhao again.

If he really became a registered disciple of Wuwei Palace, then they would be considered fellow disciples in the future. Although the grudge might be resolved at this point, which is also a good choice, Lin Qianfan still remembered that the other party had shown murderous intent towards him, which is not easy to resolve.

"Don't be so arrogant! Wait until you cross 701 before you shout!"

A long-lost sense of caution appeared in Chu Junhao's eyes. The previous one might have been pretended by Lin Qianfan, but as long as he could keep pretending, this thing would come true.

Being able to equip a mere fourth-level foundation-building cultivator to this extent must have caught the attention of the top management of Wuwei Palace. It is not ruled out that Lin Qianfan will receive extra attention, or even be favored and protected.

He was unwilling to see Lin Qianfan and himself become fellow disciples. Fellow disciples should not be in absolute conflict on principle unless it was absolutely necessary, and they were not allowed to kill each other. He hoped that Lin Qianfan would fail.

Similarly, those who are still in the first echelon or close to the first echelon are becoming more and more dissatisfied with Lin Qianfan. They are very unhappy that he is being suppressed by a fourth-level foundation-building cultivator.

But Lin Qianfan always adjusts his breathing first, then takes the first step and climbs first, always being one body length ahead. It can be seen that he must be doing it on purpose, and this is a very annoying behavior.

But they were all well-educated and didn't curse or yell like Chu Junhao. They could only try to attack Lin Qianfan's back with their eyes. "Bye, I hope to see you again on this big hurdle, 7001. I want to hear what else you have to say.

Of course, I actually hope you fall straight down, get smashed, and then hide from my sight forever!"

Lin Qianfan had sarcasm written all over his face without any concealment, and then he stepped onto the next step ahead of everyone else.

The pressure from the stairs gradually increased, and the consumption had exceeded the recovery. Although regulating his breathing would make his body feel better, the longer he regulated his breathing, the more exhausted his spiritual power would become. Lin Qianfan's total spiritual power was not large, and he could not regulate his breathing for too long, so he had to move up quickly.

"What kind of technique is he using? How can it be so long-lasting? Or has he truly achieved a flawless foundation?"

Not everyone is jealous of Lin Qianfan. There are also a few people who are constantly reflecting and learning. There is always a teacher among three people.

The pressure from the Shuofeng Stage is a very comprehensive pressure. It acts on the three dimensions of the cultivator's spirit, energy and mind at the same time. If someone has a weakness in one dimension, he will need to consume extra resistance. If he fails in both dimensions, he can only be stopped in the first three rounds.

Lin Qianfan is one of the very few people who can make progress in three dimensions simultaneously. All three of his techniques are very advanced, and he has not taken any shortcuts along the way, so his resistance is naturally greater than that of most people.

Not all golden elixir seeds are cultivated by the three paths. In fact, most of them focus on cultivating qi and supplementing with cultivating spirit, while giving up cultivating the body. After all, cultivating the body consumes a lot of energy and has little benefit, and the cost-effectiveness is not high, so Lin Qianfan has a great advantage in consumption.

There is also a misunderstanding in this trial, which is that the higher the cultivation level, the more advantages one has. In fact, this is only a phenomenon, not the essence. The real essence is that as long as one's path is flawless, one should go higher. The gap between junior high school, middle school and late stage is not that big.

So even though Lin Qianfan was only at the fourth level of foundation building, he had been practicing all these years, and every bit of his strength had been tempered countless times. At least he couldn't find any flaws for the time being, so the resistance brought to him by the north wind was smaller than that borne by others.

With less resistance, each climb will be smoother. Based on this, Lin Qianfan can maintain a constant speed.

Half an hour later,
Lin Qianfan maintained a constant speed and reached the 7,000th step, where he paused briefly.

"Whoo~"

"This step is the true watershed. Only by crossing it can we truly complete the assessment of Wuwei Palace!"

The first assessment for the scholars was a sermon by Xuanwu Zhenjun. At that time, everyone's reaction was clearly seen by Xuanwu Zhenjun, who could test everyone's understanding to a certain extent.

The second assessment is the last draw-and-fight competition. The competition is about basic combat skills and means of protecting the path. To a certain extent, it can reflect a person's experience and combat instincts in this area.

But the most important comprehensive assessment is this one, which tests all the foundation accumulated in the previous years of practice, as well as all the choices and trade-offs made when facing adversity.

"Suck~"

Lin Qianfan took a deep breath and practiced the Taibai Xuanjin Jue to the extreme. At the same time, he mobilized his Qi and blood and practiced the Shuji Guiyuan Sutra. His body instantly turned into jade and his aura instantly soared to the late stage of foundation building.

"rise!"

The step from the 7001st step to the 7000th step was still taken very steadily. The powerful north wind from the third heaven did not blow Lin Qianfan down, and it did not even make Lin Qianfan shake violently. It just trembled slightly.

"Phew! Great! It's stable now!"

Lin Qianfan immediately sat down cross-legged and began to try to adapt to the suddenly increased pressure. He did not look at other people and no longer paid attention to Chu Junhao. After all, his own practice was more important.

"What? He actually did it? This is impossible, right?"

"Amazing! I admire you!"

"This pretentious kid, I didn't expect he has some skills!"

Apart from Lin Qianfan, there are still ten people at the 7,000th step. However, the 7,000th step cannot be called the first echelon now. Only when they can truly and firmly step onto the biggest watershed of the 7,001st step can they be called the first echelon.

Some people in the crowd were surprised that Lin Qianfan had trained his body, some were curious about Lin Qianfan's specific skills, some began to admire Lin Qianfan, and some were still dissatisfied, but they all had to admit that Lin Qianfan was really capable, and that he was definitely not someone who sought fame and reputation to get to this point.

"What are you waiting for? What? Are you afraid to move? Didn't you say I couldn't reach this level? How did I get here? It seems you're not only stupid, but also have poor vision! This won't work, that won't work, what's the point of talking about the Nascent Soul path? Go home and raise pigs!"

Lin Qianfan, who had adjusted his breathing, spoke again to attack Chu Junhao's Dao heart. Although these words were directed at Chu Junhao by name, they inevitably attacked other people in the same area.

But there is no way, everyone is a competitor to each other. Although they are implicated and may even offend others, the road of the great Dao is like this. Resources are limited. Wuwei Palace cannot accept too many registered disciples and can only select the best. They are disturbed because they are not mentally strong.

"I admit, I really misjudged you, but don't scream!"

Chu Junhao tried his best to resist Lin Qianfan's ridicule and eliminate Lin Qianfan's verbal interference. A blue-purple beast fire came out from his dantian, completely wrapping his body and turning him into a blazing fire man.

"rise!"

The fire man was in high spirits, showing off his might at the peak of the foundation-building stage to the fullest, with a bit of the aura of the grandson of the Black Snake Emperor. Then he took the next step with all his strength and successfully stepped onto the 7001st step.

"Whoo~"

Although he was shaky, he finally stood firm and was not blown away by the north wind. Without having time to respond to Lin Qianfan, he immediately sat down cross-legged and began to adapt to the huge pressure.

"Not bad, not bad, you have about one-third of my style!

There is a certain chance of producing a mid-grade golden elixir, but I can determine your future path, so don’t even dream of producing a top-grade golden elixir!
You! Are! Not! Qualified! Yet!

Lin Qianfan was full of energy and even shouted out these words word by word, just to disturb him when his state was not stable.

The others were speechless upon seeing this, knowing that the conflict between the two had become irreconcilable at this point. This was already a feud that blocked their path, and they had no idea why Lin Qianfan was crazy and wanted to commit suicide.

After saying this, Lin Qianfan did not stop and continued to move forward. The gap was not big enough to defeat him.

Even the most powerful spiritual power has its limits. Lin Qianfan chose to reduce the consumption of spiritual power and instead mainly used his blood and energy to support his progress. At the same time, he also roughly guessed his own limit and was confident that he would win!

"Seek victory and be the best!"
