"Dear citizens, we are now in the 32,026th year of the spiritual energy revival. Theoretically, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is now sufficient to support the birth of a Nascent Soul cultivator."

"According to the predictions of experts from the Federal Academy of Sciences, in 32,744 years, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will reach its peak, theoretically only enough to support the birth of cultivators at the Integration stage."

"In the recorded history of heaven and earth, this is the era with the lowest concentration of spiritual energy. Countless immortals who ascended to heaven throughout history have consumed too much of the essence of heaven and earth. Scholars from the Federal Academy of Sciences are seeking new hope for the future of the Federation!"

Chu Xuan took a bite of the bun in his hand, his face calm. The issue of the concentration of spiritual energy in heaven and earth was still a long way off for him. His immediate priority was to enter the Immortal Mansion and obtain the qualification to cultivate.

Indeed, in this world where spiritual energy is reviving, cultivation requires qualifications. Without being a person from a celestial abode, it is difficult to achieve great success on the path of cultivation.

Because 99% of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the world has been gathered into the immortal mansion by the immortal-level spirit-gathering array, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth outside the immortal mansion is only slightly better than in the Dharma-ending Age.

Since the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is limited, it should be reserved for the most talented individuals to maximize their benefits.

Of course, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is originally unclaimed and can be taken by any cultivator in the world. Now that it is strictly restricted by the Federation's laws, it is natural that an explanation needs to be given to the common people.

The explanation is simple: 3,000 Federal Credits per month will meet all your basic needs.

Healthcare is free; all costs for any illness or injury are covered by the federal government.

Education is free. All citizens receive twelve years of compulsory education before the age of eighteen. After the age of eighteen, all citizens of the Federation can freely enter the local library. As long as you are willing to learn, you can learn for a lifetime. If you make a name for yourself, the Federation will give you additional rewards!

The Federation has made all body-refining secrets public. As long as one can refine their body and establish their foundation, they can enter the Immortal Abode!

These four simple points appeased the vast majority of federal citizens. If you are still not satisfied, the Immortal Abode created by the Federation with the power of an entire realm will make you satisfied!

After finishing the last bite, Chu Xuan got up and walked towards Mingjiang No. 1 High School in the distance. There was only one month left until the college entrance examination. Whether he could cultivate or not depended on this opportunity.

As a federal citizen, you are undoubtedly fortunate; the federal government will support you for life.

But this does not mean that federal citizens are without suffering. From the age of six to the age of eighteen, the competition is far more intense than the college entrance examination in my previous life.

Here, the weight of the six words "the college entrance examination changes one's destiny" is far greater than in previous lives.

Once you are admitted to the Immortal Abode and obtain the qualification to cultivate, given the difficulty of obtaining cultivation qualifications in this realm and the support the Federation provides to cultivators, the worst you can achieve is Foundation Establishment, and most of the time you will be in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Reaching the Golden Core stage is the threshold for obtaining the qualification to cultivate. If you can't even reach the Golden Core stage, then you shouldn't waste the precious spiritual energy of heaven and earth!

What the Federation needs are strong individuals who can rewrite its destiny and protect the entire Federation, not useless individuals.

One Golden Core cultivator is far more valuable to the Federation than ten thousand Qi Refining cultivators!

Foundation Establishment grants a lifespan of two hundred years, while Golden Elixir grants a lifespan of five hundred years.

Once you obtain the qualification certificate for cultivation, you will live for at least another hundred years.

The intensity of the competition is unimaginable!

"Chu Xuan, I have reached a state of unparalleled mastery in my cultivation of the Limitless Skill!"

As soon as Chu Xuan stepped into the classroom, he saw his deskmate Su Ming shouting excitedly.

Chu Xuan smiled upon hearing this, "Congratulations! You've passed the comprehension test, bringing you one step closer to becoming a cultivator!"

"One step closer, still ninety-eight steps to go, right?"

Chu Xuan smiled, said nothing, and sat down in his seat.

If one has only reached a state of divine mastery in Wuji Gong, it is indeed a long way from obtaining a cultivation qualification certificate, and that is not an exaggeration at all.

The comprehension test is one of the four major examinations for cultivation qualifications, and it is also the simplest test in terms of measurement standards.

Wuji Gong!

The Federation's basic cultivation method is a prerequisite for the Limitless Qi Refining Technique. It can be practiced without spiritual energy, and it can not only strengthen the body but also lay a solid foundation for future cultivation.

Even if one doesn't specialize in the Limitless Qi Refining Technique later, one can still specialize in the Limitless Body Refining Book and become a body cultivator. Although the spiritual energy is scarce, at least one can still cultivate.

This skill is divided into six levels from low to high: beginner, minor achievement, major achievement, consummate skill, divine mastery, and ultimate achievement.

Of course, there are more beyond that, but those involve power and true meaning, which are beyond the reach of those without spiritual energy. Generally speaking, they only appear after one has specialized in advanced cultivation techniques.

His skill was so profound that it was the pinnacle of mortal achievement. If such a level of cultivation were placed in another era, he would be considered a grandmaster among mortals.

But in this era, it barely meets the standard.

That's right, even with the most advanced Wuji Gong skills, one could only barely pass the college entrance exam!

The college entrance examination consists of four subjects, each with three levels: pass, meet the standard, and excellent.

One point for passing, two points for meeting the standard, three points for excellence, and eight points or above in the college entrance examination, with no failing grades, is considered passing the exam and can enter the immortal abode for cultivation.

The assessment of comprehension is as follows: reaching a state of divine skill is considered passing, achieving the pinnacle is considered meeting the standard, and comprehending the grand scheme of things is considered excellent.

Are the requirements high?

Brilliant, incredibly brilliant!

Ordinary people can only achieve minor success after three to five years of cultivation, and even after a lifetime of cultivation, they may not be able to reach a state of divine skill, let alone the pinnacle.

Only in this way can one be qualified to represent all citizens of the Federation in their practice and to shoulder the responsibility for the future of the Federation!

Can someone who wants to cultivate immortality be an ordinary person?

You are given twelve years, with access to countless materials from predecessors and instruction from top teachers without reservation. If you cannot even reach a state of divine skill, then even with exceptional talent, there is no need for you to cultivate!

Su Ming sat down next to him and asked, "Old Chu, what are you planning to do after graduation?"

Before Chu Xuan could speak, Su Ming said to himself, "I'm planning to go to the Rock Club to see if I can pursue the path of full-body cultivation. What about you, Old Chu?"

"Let's see after the exam."

"Huh?"

Su Ming was taken aback, looking at Chu Xuan with some surprise, "Old Chu, you haven't given up yet?"

Chu Xuan nodded. "We should at least give it a try."

Su Ming gave him a thumbs up. "Then good luck. I've given up hope. One point in the comprehension test is too little. Last year, out of 3,000 students in our school, only two were admitted to the Immortal Mansion."

"At least give it a try."

Su Ming nodded. "Giving it a try is fine. If my Wuji Gong is superb, and I can get an excellent grade in even one of the remaining three subjects, that would be good!"

"However, the possibility is very small. Old Chu, you should prepare for the possibility that you won't pass the exam."

Chu Xuan nodded without speaking. The difficulty of getting into the Immortal Academy was even greater than getting into those two top academies in his previous life. To be honest, even though Chu Xuan was a transmigrator, he wasn't really sure.

Of the four subjects—comprehension, aptitude, perseverance, and temperament—only comprehension is clearly quantifiable. As for aptitude, it can be quantified, but federal law prohibits testing aptitude before the age of eighteen.

Firstly, it prevents promising talents from becoming too arrogant after learning about their abilities; secondly, it aims to identify some exceptional individuals among those with less-than-ideal aptitude.

If someone is not qualified, they will be eliminated even if the remaining three are excellent. However, if someone breaks the standard of excellence in one subject, an exception may be made.

Although the probability is small, in a vast world, there are always exceptionally talented people!

As for perseverance and temperament, only testing can reveal the results. These two tests are not simple; to measure them comprehensively, one would need to use a Federation artifact. The specifics can only be determined during the college entrance examination; at most, one can only make a prediction on ordinary days.
