System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

"Ancient Academy, Qi Refining Myriad Manifestations Realm, Early Stage, Divine Demon Body Refining Realm, Yue Ming." A clear voice rang out in this slightly oppressive space, seemingly carrying the unique refined elegance of the academy.

"Tianqing Academy, late stage of Qi Refining Myriad Manifestations Realm, Daoist name: Ziyu!" Immediately afterwards, a clear female voice came, like heavenly music, yet it also revealed an aura that could not be underestimated.

"Nine Heavens Academy, late stage of the Myriad Manifestations Realm, Ling Tianxiao!"

……

Chen Xuan listened intently as everyone introduced themselves, a thoughtful glint in his sharp eyes. When the words "Tiandi Taiqing Palace" reached his ears, he instinctively turned to look.

A girl in white appeared as if she were an immortal descending to earth, her face so beautiful it was breathtaking, but her voice was as cold as a thousand-year-old ice, as if it could freeze the surrounding air.

"This is truly the first time I've ever seen a disciple of the Heavenly Purity Palace in person," Wang Kaixuan muttered to himself, his eyes filled with curiosity and amazement.

“Yes, she’s exactly as the legend says. In Qingtian City, which young person doesn’t consider becoming a Daoist partner with a disciple of Taiqing Palace the highest honor? Although this woman is as cold as ice, her face is truly stunning.” As Wang Kaixuan spoke, a hint of undisguised blasphemy and lust unconsciously crept into his eyes.

This subtle change in expression was instantly caught by the female cultivator named Zhanxin. Her gaze was like lightning as she glared fiercely at Wang Kaixuan, her eyes seeming capable of tearing him to pieces.

"Oh ho, quite the temper." Although Wang Kaixuan only had the cultivation of the Opening Mansion Realm, he seemed to be fearless and dared to offend Zhan Xin, a ruthless character who had entered the late stage of the Myriad Manifestations Realm in both Qi Refining and Body Refining. Chen Xuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart at his "outrageous audacity".

"I didn't expect that the disciples of the Ancient Academy, the Heavenly Inclination Academy, and the Nine Heavens Academy would come together to participate in the God-Slaying Guard assessment. It seems that the rumors are true. The four major academies of Qingtian County are indeed closely connected, and the friendship among their disciples is quite deep." Chen Xuan frowned slightly, pondering to himself.

When the Four Great Academies were mentioned, Chen Xuan's thoughts drifted to his three friends, Zi Mo, Tian Xing, and Ling Chen, their voices and smiles appearing in his mind.

Chen Xuan and Wang Kaixuan were secretly communicating with each other using their divine senses, discussing the others. The people around them were also not idle, and they all turned their attention to them, whispering among themselves.

"Hmph, no wonder they're so fearless. It turns out they only dared to participate in the God-Slaying Guard assessment with their cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Realm because they come from the Nine Heavens Profound Purity Palace." A cultivator sneered with a face full of disdain.

"So what about the Nine Heavens Profound Purity Palace? The gap between the Primordial Realm and the Myriad Manifestations Realm is insurmountable. This is an ancient divine mine. I've heard that due to spatial disorder, this place has long been invaded by a large amount of strange demonic energy, and many native creatures have been corrupted by it. The catastrophe back then was a complete disaster, with corpses strewn everywhere, and countless cultivators and miners perished here." Another cultivator's face was full of worry, and his eyes revealed fear of this unknown testing ground.

"Yes, I don't know what bad luck we had to be assigned to such a dangerous place for the assessment." Everyone echoed, their faces filled with helplessness and worry.

"Everyone, have you seen that female disciple from the Heaven and Earth Taiqing Palace? Her Daoist name is Zhanxin. She's no ordinary person."

"Yes, it's said that she has already mastered the 'Heaven and Earth Taiqing Technique' in less than two hundred years since she joined the Heaven and Earth Taiqing Palace. Judging from her cold and ruthless appearance, she must be following the path of ruthlessness and heartlessness. If you encounter her in the future, it would be best to stay away from her, or you will definitely suffer the consequences," a well-informed cultivator warned in a low voice.

"What? The legendary supreme inheritance 'Heaven and Earth Purity Technique,' which is most suitable for dual cultivation?" Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked and cast curious glances.
