Lack of talent? I'll buy a year's worth of cultivation for one dollar!

This is a competition among the younger generation of geniuses at the Hunyuan Realm.

Part Two: Promotion Evaluation of Deputy God Generals

This is a ranking battle within the Dao Court, between generals and reclusive old monsters who possess the cultivation of the Primordial Realm.

Su Yu's goal is to become a deputy god general.

Only by becoming a deputy divine general can one enter the core circle of the Dao Court and be qualified to meet the national guardian divine general.

Su Yu continued flipping through the pages.

Understand the specific rules of the assessment.

There is only one hurdle to advance to the rank of Deputy God General.

【Battle of the Xuanhuang Realm】.

Simple rules.

All the powerful beings at the Primordial Realm who signed up for the advancement would be placed into a miniature universe called "Tai Xu Huan Jing".

Within the illusion, cultivation levels are uniformly suppressed to the early stage of the Primordial Realm.

There were no fancy written tests.

Only real, hard-fought battles.

Whoever survives to the end will acquire the most Origin Imprints.

Whoever gets that one and only deputy general position.

"Suppressing your cultivation level?"

Upon seeing this rule, Su Yu's lips curled into a very faint smile.

This was practically tailor-made for him.

With several divine kingdoms and multiple layers of physical bodies, it's almost impossible for anyone of the same level to be his match.

but.

Su Yu did not let his guard down because of this.

He picked up another jade slip.

Start researching potential rivals for this promotion.

Know yourself and the enemy.

The jade slip listed several popular candidates.

[General Zhenyuan, Night Without End.]

Mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos Realm.

He cultivates the Supreme Ruthless Path, is decisive in killing, guards the abyss year-round, and possesses extremely strong combat power.

[General Tianwei, shepherd of the common people.]

Late stage of the Hongmeng Realm.

The Daoist court's veteran general possesses unfathomable depth and is rumored to have even grasped a trace of the edge rules of the Boundless Realm.

Besides these two equally famous generals.

There are also a few reclusive cultivators who have emerged from the depths of the Daoist temple.

[Li Daochen, of the Taiqing lineage.]

Although he was only at the early stage of the Primordial Realm, he had mastered the Dao Court's top-level secret techniques, making it as easy for him to fight against opponents of higher levels as drinking water.

[War God Temple, Zhao Xuanjia.]

The Zhao family's foundation is such that those at the mid-stage of the Hongmeng Realm specialize in physical cultivation and are known as having unparalleled defense among their peers.

Su Yu looked at these names.

His eyes were deep and intense.

My current identity is Xiao Wangchuan.

An ordinary general who is stuck in the early stage of the Primordial Realm for three eras.

If I perform too exceptionally well in the [Xuanhuang Realm War], I might be able to blast Mu Cangsheng and his group apart with a single punch.

That would definitely arouse suspicion from the Martial God General, and even the Four Heavenly Masters.

Once targeted by an old monster in the Moon Soul Realm, their true spirit will be forcibly probed.

Your disguise will be exposed instantly.

At that time, a great war will be inevitable.

Even though he was confident in his abilities, Su Yu didn't want to recklessly put himself in danger.

"It seems a bit difficult to pass the exam without revealing one's cultivation level."

Su Yu put down the jade slip, his eyes deep.

It doesn't matter if you don't pass the assessment.

This illusory realm, this great test of the Xuanhuang, has gathered countless core members and seeds of the Daoist court.

If we can quietly plant the seeds of the Heavenly Demon in many people during this grand event, turning them into our own mobs.

That would mean that he had gained control of most of the Dao Court's intelligence network without firing a shot.

This is far more valuable than the empty title of a mere deputy god general.

I have finished thinking.

Su Yu closed his eyes and waited quietly for the exam the next day.

The next day.

Main domain of the Xuanhuang Dao Court, Taixu Square.

This is the core area of ​​the Dao Court. The vast white jade plaza, suspended in the heavens, is filled with the dense and tangible Xuanhuang rules at its base.

People were scattered across the square.

Those who can stand here are at least Grand Generals of the Primordial Chaos Realm.

Su Yu, clad in dark gold armor and bearing Xiao Wangchuan's face, stood calmly at the edge of the crowd.

His aura was concealed at the early stage of the Primordial Realm, completely unremarkable.

"The River of Oblivion".

A deep, resonant voice came from the side and behind, accompanied by an astonishing surge of energy.

Su Yu didn't turn around; the corresponding memories flashed through his mind in an instant.

Zhao Xuanjia.

General of the War God Temple, mid-stage of the Primordial Realm.

Specializing in physical cultivation, he is one of Xiao Wangchuan's few close friends in this Daoist court. The two had exchanged life and death on the battlefield of the Myriad Spirits Demon Abyss, so they know each other inside and out.

Su Yu turned around, a familiar, faint smile appearing on his face at just the right moment.

"Black Armor".

Zhao Xuanjia strode over, like a moving ancient iron tower.

Without any further pleasantries, he punched Su Yu in the chest.

boom.

A dull thud.

This is their unique way of greeting each other.

Su Yu's physical body had already reached the peak of the Other Shore realm, so this punch was nothing more than a breeze to him.

But he precisely controlled the muscle's reaction, using that force to lean his upper body back slightly by half an inch.

It perfectly matched Xiao Wangchuan's physical strength at the early stage of the Primordial Chaos realm.

Not a single flaw was revealed.

"You brat, you've been stuck in the early stages for so long, yet your qi and blood haven't suffered."

Zhao Xuanjia withdrew his fist and looked Su Yu up and down.

A sharp glint appeared in his eyes.

"However, I feel like you seem more composed today than before?"

A close friend's intuition is often sharp.

Su Yu's expression remained calm and composed.

"If I hadn't been able to calm down after being stuck for three eras, I would have gone mad with qi deviation long ago."

His tone was calm, with a hint of Xiao Wangchuan's unique self-deprecation.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuanjia nodded in deep agreement.

Doubts were dispelled.

The two stood side by side, chatting casually about this and that.

They talked about the battle situation at the front and the situation in the Dao Court.

Soon, Zhao Xuanjia changed the subject.

Their gazes fell upon the towering white jade platform in the center of the square.

That's where the chief examiner and deputy examiner are located.

"to be honest."

Zhao Xuanjia lowered his voice, his tone carrying a hint of teasing.

"You're not really here for the big exam to get promoted to a vice-god general; you just want to see her more often, right?"

Su Yu followed Zhao Xuanjia's gaze.

In his mind, Xiao Wangchuan's deeply buried memories resurfaced.

Shen Qingci.

One of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Star Lords, at the peak of the Primordial Chaos Realm.

He is also the deputy examiner for this Xuanhuang Grand Examination.

She was also the proud daughter of heaven whom Xiao Wangchuan had secretly loved for countless eras.

This relationship was a semi-public secret among the upper echelons of the Dao Court.

Su Yu did not refute, but remained silent.

Silence was Xiao Wangchuan's most genuine reaction to this topic.

"Wangchuan, listen to your brother's advice."

Zhao Xuanjia sighed and patted Su Yu on the shoulder.

"Lord Shen is a divine phoenix from heaven, with the cultivation of the peak of the Primordial Chaos Realm. He is also one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Star Lords and is destined to succeed as the Guardian General of the Nation."

"We poor, lowly generals are not worthy of it."

"Besides, you know how many people are eyeing her."

Zhao Xuanjia's tone was restrained.

Su Yu listened quietly.

On the surface, he remained calm and composed.

But deep within the true spirit.

The spatial divine kingdom at the pinnacle of the other shore has already begun to operate silently and with tremendous force.

The target was Zhao Xuanjia, who was standing right next to him.

Su Yu knew very well that Zhao Xuanjia understood Xiao Wangchuan all too well.

Having such a close friend, someone you know inside and out, around could be a ticking time bomb that detonates your facade at any moment.

It must be controlled.

hum.

Under Su Yu's will, the underlying rules of spatial dimensions were folded into a microscopic singularity with no thickness.

In the Heavenly Demon God Kingdom.

A wisp of the purest primordial demonic essence was extracted.

There was no trace of demonic energy, no hint of murderous intent.

It disguised itself as the most basic Xuanhuang particles in the world, following the causal line of the intersection of Zhao Xuanjia's hand on Su Yu's shoulder and the intersection of their auras.
