Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

As the ladder of guidance descends.

Before it had even fully landed, a cultivator took flight and approached the ladder of guidance.

Then quickly follow and climb up.

"Let's go, we'll go too." After checking and confirming there was no risk, Zhang Yan led everyone to start climbing.

There's actually no competition involved.

There were no major setbacks along the way.

They quickly climbed to the top of the ladder of guidance.

Zhang Yan clearly felt a slight resistance as he passed through.

However, it was quickly eliminated.

As the resistance disappears.

Zhang Yan then saw a new world.

This is in a somewhat ethereal place.

All around them was nothingness, except for a boy who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old standing before them.

The boy was dressed in a Taoist robe, holding a whisk, with a dot of cinnabar on his forehead, and his expression was quite indifferent.

"It's actually... the Nascent Soul stage."

I could feel the magical power of this boy.

Zhang Yan was immediately alarmed.

"Greetings, senior." Zhang Yan quickly bowed.

The boy glanced at Zhang Yan, then nodded slightly, without saying anything more.

In this regard.

Zhang Yan didn't care.

He obediently found a place and waited quietly.

At this moment, Fang Yuan and the others also came over.

They were even more honest than Zhang Yan.

They all followed behind Zhang Yan without saying a word.

Less than an incense stick's time had passed.

The boy suddenly waved his hand.

The ladder of guidance vanished instantly.

Then he slowly turned around and looked at Zhang Yan and the others.

"Wait here for a moment. Once everyone from the small worlds has arrived, the assessment will officially begin."

The boy finished speaking.

They didn't even wait for Zhang Yan and the others to respond.

He made a spell gesture with his hand.

It disappeared immediately.

"This……"

They saw the boy leave.

Everyone present was somewhat bewildered.

Are we just going to wait here?

"Have you heard of this situation before?" Zhang Yan asked, glancing at Fang Yuan.

“My family has said this before.”

Because there are many worlds to guide, the assessment will only begin once all the people from all the smaller worlds have gathered.

However, generally speaking, the guides are usually quite talkative.

Perhaps we've encountered someone with a bad temper this time.

Fang Yuan silently explained to Zhang Yan.

"Don't be fooled by the fact that those guiding boys are all at the Nascent Soul stage. In reality, their status is not high, and their Nascent Soul stage strength has only been forcibly increased."

"Um?

Forcibly elevating him to the Nascent Soul stage?

Upon hearing the other person's words, Zhang Yan's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief.

"Yes, their strength was forcibly boosted by experts above the True Self Realm. Although they are at the Nascent Soul stage, their strength is at most half-step Nascent Soul."

Moreover, they will never have any room for improvement in their entire lives.

As he said this, a hint of disdain appeared on his face.

People like Fang Yuan.

He was a prodigy in his own right.

People naturally look down on those who rely on external forces to improve their spiritual level.

"To be able to casually raise someone's strength to the Nascent Soul stage... that's terrifying." Zhang Yan clicked his tongue.

"How could it be casual? There are quite a few complicated things involved."

"It couldn't possibly be something that could be done casually." Fang Yuan heard Zhang Yan muttering to himself and couldn't help but immediately retort, "If it were really that simple, then the weakest member of the Human Dao Alliance would have to be at least a Nascent Soul stage cultivator."

Wouldn't that make them invincible?

“You’re right.” Zhang Yan thought about it and realized it was true.

"These people are just lucky to have been born into the Human Dao Alliance. Otherwise, they wouldn't even be worthy of carrying my shoes, let alone reaching the Nascent Soul stage." After saying this, Fang Yuan closed his eyes and rested silently.

Zhang Yan also stopped speaking.

Waiting for the assessment to begin.

They didn't know how long they had been waiting in this void.

Suddenly, I felt a violent tremor beneath my feet.

Then, before anyone could react...

They then felt a sense of being suspended in mid-air.

"Boom!" It seemed to be accompanied by the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the void they were in seemed to collide with something.

"Wow~"

It dissipated into nothingness.

At this moment, Zhang Yan and the others realized that they had actually appeared in an even larger void.

Boundless.

The surrounding area was densely packed with people.

Moreover, each of them possessed the cultivation level of the Golden Core stage.

"so much……"

No one dared to use their divine sense, as it was considered extremely impolite for cultivators to use their divine sense to scan.

It can only be seen with the naked eye.

As far as the eye can see, there is no end in sight, only heads.

But strangely enough...

so many people.

Not a single person spoke.

Ok……

That's obvious.

Everyone is using their divine sense to transmit their voices.

It's normal that there's no sound.

Everyone seemed normal, but in reality, they had already used up all the complaints they could think of through telepathic communication.

"With so many people, I wonder how our results will be!"

"Junior Brother Zhang, are you confident?"

"Holy crap, so many Golden Core cultivators! How many worlds must they be from?!"

Within the Heavenly Dao Sect, Zhang Yan is at its core.

A divine consciousness channel was immediately established.

Everyone was chatting freely.

I don't dare to speak out publicly, but can't I at least grumble to myself?

……

While these people were secretly gossiping about crickets.

Suddenly.

A terrifying aura descended.

It was merely the release of a wisp of breath.

Everyone present couldn't help but look over.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the void, and then a person walked out of it.

This man was dressed in white robes with white hair, white eyebrows and a white beard, and a ruddy complexion. He had white hair and a rosy face, like a banished immortal.

"Fellow Daoists, please prepare yourselves, the assessment is about to begin." This person merely glanced at everyone, and they all involuntarily avoided his gaze.

this person.

It's so scary.

"This is……"

"The True Self Realm, at the very least, is one True Self Realm!"

I could sense the other person's presence.

Zhang Yan's heart was roaring.

Although the aura of the Dharma Aspect Realm was also terrifying, it was still far inferior to that of the opponent.

Therefore, the other party must be a master of the True Self Realm.

I just don't know who the other party is.

Moreover, he never expected that a cultivator at the True Self Realm would be proctoring a Golden Core stage assessment.

But in the end, he thought about it.

Actually this is normal.

Although this was just an assessment for Golden Core stage cultivators.

but!

After all, this is a genius born from countless small worlds and secret realms.

These people have already been filtered once by the world they live in.

It's no exaggeration to say that they are basically all elites.

Although the average quality may not be comparable to that of geniuses in the big world.

But there are a lot of them.

With enough quantity, high-quality geniuses will inevitably emerge.

His goal must be that high-quality genius.

"You need to pass the preliminary test first."

After the initial testing, you can join the Human Race Alliance.

"However, if you want to enter a sect in the Human Race Dao Alliance Great World, you will need to undergo another test." The old man simply explained the rules to Zhang Yan and the others.

These rules are actually quite simple.

But there is indeed a need for popular science education.

Zhang Yan then learned about the assessment rules of the Human Race Alliance.

It is divided into a preliminary test and a final test.

After completing the preliminary test, they will be qualified to join the Human Alliance and remain in the Great World.

However, to actually join a sect, a second round of testing is required.

Only those who pass the second round of testing are considered worthy of attention by the sects of the Human Race Dao Alliance.

among them.

The first test was very simple.

It means they will be placed in a small world.

They waged war and fought fiercely. The one million cultivators who survived were considered to have passed the preliminary test.

As for the subsequent re-examination.

That's interesting.

The top sects within the Human Race Alliance all have different preferences.

For example, some sects like to refine weapons, some like to refine pills, and some like to engage in magical combat.

If your basic combat ability is fine, then you still need to take the exam.

This exam tests both talent and skill.

According to the Human Race Alliance.

If a cultivator has no special skill...

Therefore, one cannot go far in the world of cultivation.

Skills are a prerequisite for acquiring resources.

after all……

You can't always expect to steal it, can you?

If someone can seize enough resources simply by grabbing them, then it can only mean that this person has very strong combat skills.

This……

It can actually be considered a skill.

"Alright, now that you all understand, I won't go on and on."

The exam is now beginning.

After the expert from the True Self Realm finished speaking...

Everyone felt as if their feet had suddenly lost their footing.

I fell down involuntarily.

Below are stretches of land.

Judging from this height, it must be at least tens of thousands of feet.

They subconsciously wanted to increase their magical power.

But sadly, it was discovered that...

My magic is unusable.

"Holy crap!~"

Upon realizing they couldn't increase their magical power, everyone involuntarily shouted out.

Although cultivators are not afraid of heights.

but!

So high.

If magic power cannot be used, even a Golden Core cultivator would not be able to withstand it.

They will inevitably be smashed into mincemeat.

"Damn it, what do we do, what do we do?" Fang Yuan was almost scared to death at this point.

Because they were so close together, they fell into the vicinity when they fell.

"Don't panic. Since they've brought us here to take the test and torn apart so many world barriers, they can't possibly be trying to kill us."

Besides, if there really were a problem, how could a powerful being in the True Self Realm just stand by and watch?
So don't panic.

Zhang Yan took a deep breath.

Then open your hands.

The rate of descent immediately slowed down.

Everyone present was a Golden Core cultivator, so their minds were naturally quick.

Seeing Zhang Yan like this.

They also spread out their arms and legs.

It slowed the rate of descent.

However, new problems arose spontaneously.

Everyone ended up in different places.

They've scattered.

"Damn it!"

See this scene.

Zhang Yan and the others finally understood.

It seems this was not an accident at all.

The goal is to scatter them.

Although teleportation is also possible.

But like this...

It is clearly more resource-efficient...

"It all depends on their luck." Zhang Yan didn't really care about the number of people.

Anyway, he's not someone who sucks up to powerful figures.

On the contrary.

He's the real powerhouse!
Therefore, he has no one to belong to.

It's just a pity for the Heavenly Dao Sect.

I gave him so many resources for nothing, but I never expected that we would separate after the assessment.

We'll have to wait and see once we get to the ground.

After all, they paid money.

Zhang Yan is a very responsible person towards his clients.

The faster the descent, the faster the speed.

The people around me are becoming more and more scattered.

Zhang Yan could already clearly see their destination.

He wasn't very lucky.

The landing site turned out to be in the deep sea.

And when it is less than 100 feet above the ground.

Zhang Yan suddenly realized that he could now use his magical power.

"call."

Zhang Yan let out a deep breath.

Then, without hesitation, he pointed.

A flying sword shot out from his sleeve, transforming into a sharp sword light that directly slashed at an unlucky fellow floating in the sky.

"Pfft~"

Wherever the sword light passed, a huge burst of light immediately erupted from the man's body.

Then the person vanished without a trace.

Before coming down, everyone received a talisman.

As long as they crush the talisman, they will be teleported away from the small world.

It's for these people to save their lives.

After all, this is a small world for assessment, and the Human Race Alliance is just conducting assessments and then recruiting new members.

Instead of coming to watch humans kill each other.

Humans have other adversaries besides fighting amongst themselves.

Of course.

……

Having a teleportation scroll doesn't guarantee you won't die.

If someone kills you before you even crush the teleportation talisman.

Then he would die.

After dealing with that unlucky guy, Zhang Yan immediately looked around.

There were actually three people slowly drifting down from the sky.

However, they also clearly saw Zhang Yan defeat that unlucky guy.

So some people started drifting to other places.

Some people fall even faster.

Everyone has their own ideas.

Unfortunately, they encountered Zhang Yan.

"go with!"

Zhang Yan pointed lightly.

Three flying swords shot out.

Less than two breaths.

Unlucky guy +3.
He defeated four people right away and confirmed that there was no one else around.

Zhang Yancai began to observe.

He was really unlucky.

All around was a vast ocean.

There's nothing but the sea.

There wasn't even a single reef.

Fortunately, he is a cultivator, and he can fly.

I just don't know where the land is.

So he could only randomly choose a direction and fly there.

Meanwhile.

Under a veil of mist.

Fang Yuan crawled out of a swamp with his mouth full of mud.

As he landed, he was attacked by bird-like monsters.

I'm having a bit of bad luck.

Fortunately, we can use magic now.

He had just gathered his magical power when he suddenly swung his sword at a spot not far away.

"Chi~"

Fresh green blood immediately flowed out.

Then a chameleon appeared.

"This thing is quite interesting, but its strength is too weak."

He laughed.

Then I looked at the direction.

"I wonder how the others are doing..."

……

……

"It should be this way."

Three days in a row.

Zhang Yan spent his life on the vast ocean.

But heaven took pity on them.

He finally saw land.

"This world is too big."

He complained.

Using a small world as an examination venue certainly takes a lot of courage.

But the map is too big! (End of Chapter)
