My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 263 The key is to stop them from taking the exam!

Under the terrifying power of Zheng Youlan's red pen, all the cultivators in the entire Rusty City were sealed by the laws.
No one could put up any resistance, not even move an inch. They could only watch helplessly as she opened her huge mouth and devoured them bit by bit.

These monks are the result of countless years of education in Rusty City.

After devouring them, Zheng Youlan's cultivation level also rose rapidly, progressing step by step from the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage to the Divine Transformation stage. Then, her rusted steel body suddenly cracked open from behind.

Like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon.

Eight ferocious spider legs emerged from the crack, supporting her swollen, mountain-like body, and she headed towards the Misty City.

The night wind blew.

From those hideous spider legs, countless humanoid creatures suddenly emerged.

These were all cultivators from Rust City who had just been swallowed by Zheng Youlan, but now they were neatly arranged like downy feathers on the eight spider legs behind Zheng Youlan, holding exam papers and saying:
"We're back in school! Hahahaha!"

"I can take the education exams again!"

"Exams! I have exams!"

Shashashasha.

The monks, who looked like fluffy downy feathers, suddenly lowered their heads and began to concentrate on their work. The sound of pencils scratching across paper came together, like countless moths fluttering their wings, creating a chilling echo.

A long list of scores appeared above Zheng Youlan's head.

As the cultivators completed more questions, her total score increased. The sum of countless scores eventually formed a dazzling golden Daoist inscription.

[Near-Immortal Body - Golden Body for Exams]!
[Effect 1: Score is King - No external force can kill you before your score reaches zero.]

[Effect 2: Academic Aura - You can create exam pressure through your scores. Any cultivator with a lower total score than you will have their cultivation level reduced by 30% after entering within 1,000 meters of you!]

[Effect 3: There is a 20% chance of immunity to true damage and instant kill affixes, and the effect of all instant kill affixes is forcibly weakened to a 5% score reduction.]

This is the terrifying power of the Quasi-Immortal Body attribute!
However, the Golden Body of the Exam is only one part of the Imperial Instructor System.

When Zheng Youlan waved the pointer in her hand, which was composed of kindergarten, primary school, middle school, high school, and university levels, a special passage leading directly to the Misty City instantly appeared.

Boom!
[Special Admissions for Education – Guaranteed Admission!]

open! !
In the misty city.

The city lords of Misty City, Zhang Hebei, and Water Rust City, Bai Xiaotong, had gradually become more and more heated in their fight, but at this moment, both of them stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky at the same time.

Amidst the swirling mist, a massive crack suddenly appeared, and then eight grotesque spider legs, accompanied by the terrifying rustling sound of countless pencils rubbing against exam papers, emerged from the crack and ripped it apart!
Click, click, click! !

The spacetime of the Bewitching Forbidden Land gradually distorted, and a terrifying monster lay on the other side of the crack, looking at the cultivators in the arena with greedy eyes.

Li Wei's eyes widened immediately: "Zheng Youlan? How could she have turned into this horrible state?"

Perhaps upon hearing its own name, the monster suddenly lowered its head and crashed into the rift in the teleportation channel, intending to devour Li Wei whole!

"I want more points!"

Boom!
Something funny happened.

The string of scores above Zheng Youlan's head was so long that it bumped into the crack passage, bouncing her head back.

The rustling sound of someone doing math problems abruptly stopped.

The whole world fell into a deathly silence.

The cultivators in the Misty City, who were initially somewhat frightened, suddenly had a strange look in their eyes.

Is this thing really that stupid?
Zheng Youlan numbly writhed her body, finally finding an angle to squeeze through the crack by constantly adjusting her position, but just as she was about to move...

A bolt of purple-gold lightning, a terrifying tentacle that was half flesh and half machine, and a giant hand made of white bones all struck her at once.

joke.

This thing looks like a boss; who would let her come over so easily?

Whether it was Li Wei, Bai Xiaotong, or Zhang Hebei, they all acted in perfect unison, pushing her head back down.

But something horrifying happened.

A lightning-based immortal technique and two peak Nascent Soul stage killing moves were about to hit her, but they didn't even knock off a single hair on her body, nor did they cause any injury.

If we have to point out a change, it's that the long score on Zheng Youlan's head has become shorter.

In less than a second, the cultivators on Zheng Youlan's spider legs, who were like downy hairs, quickly made up for their lost points by completing the test, and even scored higher than before.

"That's a bit too much!" Li Wei's pupils contracted, and his eyes twitched involuntarily.

Zheng Youlan reminded him of the super boss, Absolute Virtue, who was impossible to kill no matter how hard he tried back on Earth.

Why do I need to fight a boss even though I've already time-traveled?
Her "score health bar" is longer than my life, so even if I work myself to death, I can't destroy her, right?
Li Wei was having a headache, and Zhang Hebei and Bai Xiaotong beside him were also having a headache. As peak Nascent Soul cultivators, although their cultivation techniques might be lagging behind and their abbreviations might be weak, their destructive power was definitely not low.

After all, with laws in place, one can borrow the power of heaven and earth, and every move can have terrifying destructive power that transcends the mortal realm.

The problem is that Zheng Youlan also possesses laws. Her golden body, formed from the laws of the Imperial Cult's advancement, has reached the level of a quasi-immortal body. She even has a chance to survive the tribulation of ascension. Therefore, their laws simply cannot penetrate her.

For a time,

All three of them felt at a loss as to how to approach Zheng Youlan.

Meanwhile, Zheng Youlan charged recklessly, relying on her high health and terrifying strength to withstand the three's killing blows and squeeze through the crevice.

A terrifying aura swept in.

Bai Xiaotong, the city lord of Water Rust City, felt a layer of barbs on his bones and instinctively wanted to lead his people away from here.

Suddenly, a furious roar erupted from beneath the green waters. The remnant soul of the god, the Bewitching Master, rebuked: "Fool! Zheng Youlan has clearly been corrupted by the Great Dao, transformed into a Dao-merging puppet! It seems she has already devoured Rust City; her next step is to devour all of us, then absorb all our resources to ascend to immortality!"

To unite with the Dao, to unite oneself with the Dao.
In the process of mastering the laws, cultivators may be assimilated by the laws at any time, becoming their puppets and tools of the Great Dao.

Just as humans need to undergo ascension to break free from their cocoons and become gods.

New creations like the Imperial Cult Advancement Law, while possessing the status and power of a law and having their own operating system, have not yet undergone the baptism of the Ascension Tribulation, have not become part of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and have not been recognized by the entire world.

The Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three.

All laws in the universe have the instinct to expand and evolve. Although laws do not have the wisdom of humans, they still have their own instinctive demands and will change and integrate into the world in their own way.

Therefore, the strongest desire of the current master cultivator is to ascend! It yearns to merge into the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, like rivers flowing into the sea or ants returning to their nests, and become a part of Heaven and Earth!

But before that, it must absorb all possible nutrients in order to be confident of overcoming the tribulation of ascension.

This means that Zheng Youlan, this Dao-merging puppet, will definitely hunt down everyone like a madwoman! Water Rust City, Misty City, and Li Wei—they are all interdependent!

The Bewitching Lord, peering through the rusty water at the monster in the sky, solemnly declared: "We cannot let her continue devouring! Water-Rust City cultivators, heed my command! Immediately initiate a divine ritual! I will empower you with my divine power! You must stop that thing!"

The core inside Zhang Hebei's body also emitted a series of crisp, mechanical sounds.

Amidst the roar of spinning metal,
Zhang Hebei established a series of connections with the core of the mechanical god that had been sealed away in the bewitching coffin.

next moment,
The core of the mechanical god, as bright as the sun, suddenly emitted a blinding light, showering Zheng Youlan with endless radiation and scorching heat.

He said—Fight!

Zhang Hebei then lowered his head and said with utmost humility, "As you command!"

At this moment, all the cultivators in the Misty City lit up. Whether they were cultivating the Path of Mechanism or the Path of Flesh and Blood Mutation, they had all absorbed a large amount of radiation from the core of the Mechanism God. At this moment, they all resonated greatly with the core of the Mechanism God and received the blessing of ancient divine power.

"Everyone, spare these skeletons in Water Rust City for now, and come with me to kill that monster!"

"Hmph! The bone cultivators of Water Rust City, ignore these mutated creatures for now. Join me in calling upon the power of the Lord of Bewitching Souls and beg Him to grant us strength!"

"Yes!"

To survive in a place like the Bewitching Forbidden Zone, everyone must have a flexible bottom line.

In order to survive and to fight against the big boss Zheng Youlan, everyone temporarily put aside their prejudices, united, and began to form an army to conquer the monster that was crossing over from another realm.

At this moment, Zheng Youlan had already passed halfway through the passage, allowing everyone to attack her from a larger area.

The moment hundreds of thousands of people attacked together, the number of digits above Zheng Youlan's head dropped by dozens, becoming much shorter.

But the problem is that there are even more cultivators in Rust City!

At this moment, the rusty cultivators who had been integrated into Zheng Youlan's body went crazy and sped up their problem-solving speed, quickly making up for the lost points.

The scores that everyone destroyed with their killer moves were not nearly as many as the newly earned scores they made!
"This won't do! Everyone, come with me and kill these guys who are doing math problems!"

As Zhang Hebei spoke, he flashed to Zheng Youlan's spider legs and slapped down on the leg hair of someone who was doing a problem.

Boom!
[Exam Golden Body] Perfect and flawless.

It actually managed to block Zhang Hebei's full-force attack from a Nascent Soul cultivator, and the guy who was doing his homework didn't even get hurt!
"Hahaha! You stinky octopus, your attack isn't working! Watch out for my move!"

Bai Xiaotong laughed, suddenly grabbed a wisp of soul power from the Bewitching Master, rushed behind Zheng Youlan, and cut down at the junction of her spine and spider legs.

"Cut it off!!"

With a snap, the spider leg did break off, but the problem was that its connection with Zheng Youlan was not severed. The cultivators on the spider leg were still frantically doing problems, continuously supplying Zheng Youlan with points.

"What?!!"

As Bai Xiaotong was horrified, he suddenly noticed a dark shadow approaching from the corner of his eye. He quickly raised his hand to block it, and then Zheng Youlan's mouth bit down on his arm bone.

A terrifying force swept in.

The radiant, golden-white bone body, which had undergone countless trials and possessed quasi-immortal power, was bitten into several cracks.

Bai Xiaotong quickly shrunk his body, abruptly pulled out his arm bone, and then swiftly retreated.

"No! The accumulated wealth of the Iron Rust City over ten thousand years is all contained within her, and the Imperial Cult Advancement Law has perfectly utilized this accumulated wealth!"

How do you fight a being with invincible health, invincible damage, and invincible recovery?
Zhang Hebei said grimly, "Unless we can stop these people from taking the exam and destroy their health and foundation first, there's no way we can win!"

Bai Xiaotong jumped up and down anxiously: "Do you think I don't know about this? But the problem is, we can't stop these people from taking the exam!"

"Not necessarily!"

Boom! !
A bolt of purple-gold lightning suddenly shot into the sky, transforming into a megaphone in mid-air and broadcasting Li Wei's voice across the surrounding area.

"Cough cough!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Wei suddenly cleared his throat, then took out a "New Mathematical Olympiad" book and slowly unfolded it.

"You like doing math problems, huh? Then let me show you the brutal beating of the new era's immortal cultivation knowledge!"

Zheng Youlan raised her head blankly.

The "good students" of Rust City that she had merged into also raised their heads.

Three question marks appeared on their heads simultaneously.
