The Great Ruler wanted to lie down but was thrown into the Spirit Road.

Qiu Beihai and Liu Qingyun had gloomy faces. They stared at the spirit jade in the hands of the five people, and a fierce anger began to spread in their hearts.

"Let's break through first, then we'll find them." With Ji Xuan's composure, his eyes were still lowered, and an extremely suppressed ruthlessness emanated from him.

However, he knew that the important matter at hand was more pressing, so he turned to receiving the spiritual energy from the heavens.

"Boom!"

After that, everyone communicated with the tokens on their bodies, trying their best to absorb the spiritual energy falling from the sky. Before long, some people's realms began to break through, rushing to the Spirit Wheel Realm, and even the Divine Soul Realm.

However, once they break through to the Divine Soul Realm, the spiritual energy they possess is insufficient to propel them into the Heavenly Fusion Realm. This phenomenon is also common among those who only possess level eight tokens or lower.

They stopped absorbing energy and looked up at the higher part of the platform, sighing inwardly, "As expected, we had predicted that with the spiritual energy that a level seven token could contain, it could only push us to the mid-stage of the Divine Soul Realm. Even the peak of the Divine Soul Realm is still some distance away."

The higher the token's level, the more abundant the spiritual energy becomes, and the purer the spiritual energy received is also greatly enhanced.

Just like those who hold level eight or nine tokens, the spiritual energy they receive is almost qualitatively improved. Especially on the highest platform, it seems to have transformed into an ocean of spiritual energy, with each stream of spiritual energy descending upon them like a pillar of light.

Wen Qingxuan and the other three held spirit jades in their hands, frantically drawing spiritual energy into their dantian to begin its transformation, while simultaneously refining the spirit jades to form a barrier that imprisoned them, ensuring that every wisp of spiritual energy could be completely absorbed without dissipating.

It was indeed the purity of the spiritual energy that allowed them to act so recklessly. Even though it was vast, it did not appear violent. Instead, it obeyed their guidance, moving swiftly and in an orderly manner.

"boom……"

Their cultivation levels began to break through rapidly, breaking through the Spirit Wheel to reach the Divine Soul realm, and then continuing to surge upwards. Before long, they reached the peak of the Divine Soul realm, and their power began to manifest.

A surge of spiritual pressure swept out from them, even causing a slight storm to rise in the surrounding sea of ​​spiritual energy.

This forced the Mirror of Judgment to unleash its mysterious aura, isolating everyone from it.

"boom!"

As if another loud bang had been heard, Wen Qingxuan broke through the barrier of the Divine Soul Realm, allowing her to reach the Realm of Fusion to Heaven. At this moment, she made those below who had already completed their initiation look on with envy.

Such qualifications are undoubtedly far superior to theirs.

Similarly, after Wen Qingxuan, Qinghe, Wu Ling, and Wu Yingying also broke through to the Fusion Heaven Realm and continued to advance upwards.

"These individuals are indeed exceptionally talented; they have the potential to reach the pinnacle of the Fusion Realm," Dean Tiansong of the Azure Heaven Spiritual Academy said with a smile.

"The same goes for those others." Dean Tianwang of the Martial Spirit Academy pointed at Ji Xuan and Luo Li and nodded slightly.

"The most terrifying one has to be Yun Mo. He broke through to the Divine Soul Realm and reached the Heavenly Fusion Realm in the blink of an eye. However, it's unclear why he's slowed down a bit now." Dean Taicang's gaze fell on Yun Mo. If it weren't for the barrier of the Mirror of Judgment, they would have wanted to investigate.

And Yun Mo did indeed encounter trouble.

He absorbed all the spiritual energy into his hazy sea of ​​qi, letting it surge endlessly, then condensed and expanded it, repeating this cycle until he reached his limit, at which point he began to break through with all his might.

But at that moment, the evil mark suddenly attacked, trying to erode Yun Mo himself.

"The mark of the evil race..." Yun Mo gritted his teeth, making hand seals to communicate with the jade disc between his eyebrows to guard his mind and prevent himself from losing his way.

Just now, as soon as he broke through to the Fusion Realm, the mark began to exude the unique aura of the Evil Clan—cold and sinister—causing his closed pupils to turn pitch black.

If he hadn't been prepared, he probably would have immediately gone mad, his consciousness erased by the evil aura, becoming a puppet of the evil race.

"The Purple Star Emperor's Technique: By rectifying the mind and maintaining balance, one can vanquish evil spirits!"

Yun Mo shouted inwardly, using the jade disc to protect his body and let the Emperor's will descend upon him, thus calming his mind and securing his own three-tenths of territory with a posture of equal strength.

At that moment, the Purple Emperor's aura within him began to awaken, as if an imperial might was sweeping across the heavens and earth. Even more terrifying, due to the spiritual energy, a phantom of a great emperor appeared behind him, reaching to the heavens and the earth.

Those who had completed their cultivation and were on the same nine-story platform as him all looked terrified, as they could vaguely sense his domineering aura.

Qiu Beihai and Liu Qingyun stared wide-eyed, their hearts trembling.

"What is that?!" the other people on the lower levels exclaimed.

They could hardly believe their eyes; why was there a shadow behind that person that seemed to possess the power to suppress heaven and earth?

"Could it be because of the cultivation technique he practices?"

"What kind of technique could manifest such a figure? It almost makes one want to worship it!"

They looked at each other, completely bewildered.

Even the elders and deans of the five academies stood on the high platform, their faces filled with doubt.

They had never seen such a technique before, and even with the barrier of the Mirror of Judgment, they could still vaguely sense the pervasive imperial might.

"Is there a cultivation method that can cultivate imperial will and condense imperial might?" Dean Tianwang asked in surprise and doubt.

"You'll probably have to ask him yourself," Dean Taicang said with a smile.

"Buzz..."

After a long stalemate, the mark of hatred from the evil race finally began to slowly dissipate, which made Yun Mo breathe a sigh of relief.

"I thought it would allow me to directly reach the Transformation Realm, but I didn't expect that just the riot of this mark would cause me so much trouble, forcing me to consume this pure spiritual energy to resist it. However, reaching the peak of the Fusion Realm is not bad..." Yun Mo smiled bitterly to himself.

But just as he was about to end his meditation, the imperial intent that had surged and erupted from the jade wall all converged together and poured into his dantian, propelling his cultivation level directly into the Transformation Realm.

"Thump..."

A spiritual pressure belonging to the Transcendent Realm swept out, impacting the barrier set up by the Mirror of Judgment.

"Transformation Realm..."

Qiu Beihai swallowed hard. Even though the spiritual pressure was blocked by the Mirror of Judgment, he could still feel the fear in his heart...

He had just finished his own initiation, reaching the peak of the Fusion Realm, but he never imagined that someone could actually use this to enter the Transformation Realm.

Wen Qingxuan and Qinghe, along with the others, smiled. They had all achieved their goals and reached the peak of the Fusion Realm.

"Hehe, as expected, our previous guess was correct. His previous foundation, coupled with his good initial realm, still allowed him to break through to the Transformation Realm," Dean Taicang laughed.

"If he were to compete for the coveted position on the Spirit Path, I doubt anyone could stop him."

Dean Tian Sheng said indifferently, "Whether he participates or not is his own business, but it doesn't mean that reaching the Transformation Realm will grant him a Crown rank."

"It seems Dean Tian Sheng has complete confidence in Ji Xuan." Taicang suppressed his smile and spoke calmly as well.

In fact, they had long been dissatisfied with Tian Sheng's treatment of Ji Xuan. That student Mu Chen almost killed Ji Xuan and was subsequently expelled from the Spiritual Path. Although they all had their own favorite students, such interference was ultimately too much.

"Let's wait and see the results of the next trial, and also try to guess which academy these students will ultimately choose." The other three deans smiled, easing the somewhat tense atmosphere between the two.
