Xiao Yan followed suit and called her Senior Xuan Ji.

During the previous cultivation process, he gave Xiao Yan a lot of guidance.

Zixiao Xuanji chuckled lightly, with a hint of amusement in her voice: "Little girl, this Gu Qinghuan is indeed quite capable."

"She seems to be hiding some powerful power, but... the more so, the more it proves that this Tianji Dao Palace is worth exploring."

A hint of determination flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes: "Okay, I must pass this test!"

Zixiao Xuanji nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, it's good to have such ambition."

"Follow my instructions later and I will ensure that you can enter the Tianji Dao Palace smoothly."

"Ah."

the other side,

Ji Yuehuang stood in the royal team, looking at the platform with a complicated expression.

She clenched her fists and silently encouraged herself in her heart: "Ji Yuehuang, you have no way out."

"Since the royal family has abandoned you, then you must carve out a niche for yourself!"

"Tianji Dao Palace is your new starting point!"

She took a deep breath and her eyes gradually became firm.

On the high platform, Gu Qinghuan seemed to have sensed something, and his eyes inadvertently swept across the crowd.

He paused for a moment on Zi Li, Xiao Yan and Ji Yue Huang.

Then he moved away as if nothing had happened.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she thought to herself, "Interesting, there are a few interesting little guys who came to this disciple-taking ceremony."

"Boom!"

A bell rang, resounding through the sky,

The entire Tianji Taoist Palace fell silent in an instant.

"Tianji Dao Palace, the disciple-recruiting ceremony has officially begun!"

As a cold voice spread throughout the venue,

As soon as he finished speaking, the elders of Tianji Taoist Palace appeared one after another and began to preside over the assessment.

For a moment, the square was filled with flashes of light, and countless young monks were ready to show their skills.

On the high platform, beside Gu Qinghuan, Liu Mei, Yun Qinyue and Su Nianyao stood quietly.

Liu Mei is wearing a red dress, with a graceful figure and flowing eyes, full of natural charm.

This attracted many monks to secretly glance at it and start to fantasize.

Yun Qinyue has a cool and pure temperament, like a fairy from the Moon Palace, untainted by the mundane world, making people dare not desecrate her.

Su Nianyao is the youngest, but already has a stunning appearance.

Every frown and smile is lively and lovely.

The three of them stood beside Gu Qinghuan, each with their own unique charm, breathtakingly beautiful.

"Tsk tsk, this woman from Tianji Dao Palace is truly a stunning beauty..."

"Especially Liu Mei, her every frown and smile is simply captivating!"

Some monks were whispering, but because they were afraid of Gu Qinghuan's intimidation, they only dared to speak in low voices.

"Boom!"

The second bell echoed among the mountains,

The clouds above the Tianji Taoist Palace were shaken slightly.

Thousands of monks in the square held their breath at the same time, waiting for the assessment to begin.

"The first level, the asking stage."

Yun Qinyue's cold voice spread throughout the audience, "Those who reach the top will advance to the next round."

As she finished her words,

The stone steps in front of the main peak of Tianji Dao Palace suddenly glowed with a bright green light.

Ancient runes emerge on each step, shining mysteriously in the sunlight.

Zi Li stood at the front of the crowd, with a barely perceptible curve at the corner of her mouth.

"Just asking Sister Wen."

She thought contemptuously in her heart.

As a former great lord who had transcended the calamity,

This level that tests one's character and perseverance is child's play for her.

"start!"

Following the command, hundreds of monks rushed to the stone steps.

Zi Li was neither hurried nor slow, and stepped onto the first step with light lotus steps.

In an instant,

A heavy pressure enveloped my whole body, as if a huge burden was pressing on my shoulders.

"Gravity formation?"

Zi Li raised her eyebrows, and the spiritual power in her body circulated slightly, and the pressure instantly disappeared.

She walked up calmly and soon left the others far behind.

Xiaoyan was carrying a black sword that was almost as tall as her, with beads of sweat oozing from her forehead.

Every time you climb a step, the pressure increases.

Her legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

'Senior Xuan Ji...' she called in her heart.

"Hold on, little girl."

Zixiao Xuanji's voice echoed in her mind, "This stage of the Dao is a test of your character. The more you resist, the heavier it will feel. Try to relax and become one with the pressure."

Xiaoyan took a deep breath and adjusted her breathing according to the instructions.

Miraculously, the pressure was relieved a lot.

A hint of joy flashed in her eyes and she continued to climb upwards.

Ji Yuehuang's situation is the most special.

Every time she stepped on a step, the shadow of the fluffy chicken would appear behind her, making a "chirp" sound.

Surprisingly, the phantom of the chicken was able to offset some of the pressure, allowing her to climb much faster than an ordinary person.

"That is…?"

On the high platform, Liu Mei narrowed her eyes, "The Second Princess's blood shadow has such a wonderful use."

Gu Qinghuan nodded slightly: "It may seem weak, but it actually has infinite potential."

On the asking stage, the competition has become fierce.

Zi Li was far ahead, followed by a dozen monks with outstanding talents.

Xiao Yan and Ji Yuehuang were in the upper-middle position, and both of them gritted their teeth and persevered.

"what!"

A scream was heard,

One monk was overwhelmed and fell down the stairs.

He was caught by a disciple of Tianji Taoist Palace who was waiting nearby and taken away from the venue.

This situation continued to happen, and in just half an hour, nearly a hundred people were eliminated.

Zi Li was the first to reach the top of the mountain, her expression calm and her heart steady.

The elder in charge of recording looked at her in surprise and said, "Little girl, you are the first candidate to reach the summit within a quarter of an hour."

Zi Li just smiled faintly and did not comment.

Another half hour later, Xiao Yan and Ji Yuehuang arrived at the finish line almost at the same time.

Both of them were sweating profusely, and Xiao Yan's sword was shining dimly in the sunlight.

The phantom of the chicken behind Ji Yuehuang flapped its wings happily.

Zi Li stood on the top of the mountain, her eyes inadvertently sweeping over Xiao Yan and Ji Yuehuang who had just reached the top.

Her originally indifferent eyes suddenly condensed slightly.

A playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"interesting..."

She whispered to herself.

The seemingly heavy black sword behind Xiao Yan was emitting a dark light that ordinary people could not detect.

The light wrapped around Xiao Yan like a living thing.

Constantly suppressing the flow of spiritual power in her body,

But it was also widening her meridians invisibly.

"It's actually the 'Mysterious Heavy Sword'..."

A hint of surprise flashed in Zili's eyes.

"How could such a strange thing appear in the netherworld?"

She looked at Xiao Yan with great interest.

I found that although this girl's cultivation was still shallow,

But the meridians are unusually strong and wide,

This is obviously the result of long-term training under the suppression of the spiritual power of the heavy sword.

"Interesting, it seems this girl has quite a good opportunity."

"At the same time, there is something living in the body..."

Zi Li keenly sensed the aura fluctuations in Xiao Yan's body that did not belong to her.

While Zi Li was observing Xiao Yan,

The fluffy chicken shadow behind Ji Yuehuang caught her attention.

"That is……"

Zili's pupils shrank slightly, "Atavism?"

As a former tribulation-surviving great power, Zi Li could see at a glance that the seemingly ridiculous chicken phantom actually contained amazing potential.

Every time the phantom flapped its wings, the surrounding spiritual energy would produce subtle fluctuations.

"The ultimate return to the original nature of the Heavenly Phoenix bloodline..."

Zi Li was secretly shocked, "If this girl can fully awaken, her future will be limitless."

However, she quickly shook her head and said with a smile, "Unfortunately, there are simply not enough spiritual objects and opportunities in this lower realm to support her in fully awakening her Heavenly Phoenix bloodline."

Zi Li sighed inwardly and glanced at Ji Yuehuang with a hint of regret.

"If there weren't such heaven-defying things as the True Dragon Blood and the Phoenix Nirvana Fire."

"She'll probably only be able to maintain this 'young phoenix' state for the rest of her life, and it will be difficult for her to truly transform."

"but……"

"If this Tianji Dao Palace really has some special opportunity, there might still be a chance."

There was a glint of amusement in her eyes.
