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

"Don't spout nonsense if you don't understand. The founding ancestors of the Heaven and Earth Taiqing Palace were a loving couple. The Heaven and Earth Taiqing Manual is divided into the Heaven Scroll and the Earth Scroll. The Heaven Scroll is for men to cultivate, while the Earth Scroll is for women to cultivate."

"Unfortunately, the male patriarch of Taiqing Palace was unable to withstand the onslaught of the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations and perished, causing no one to be able to cultivate the Heavenly Scroll to the point of perfection. The female patriarch, heartbroken, made a ruthless decision to almost completely abolish the Heavenly Scroll and instead created the Heartless Earthly Scroll." An old man said slowly, his words full of regret.

"In that case, wouldn't the supreme dual cultivation method be lost forever?" Everyone sighed, their faces full of regret.

Several cultivators exchanged telepathic messages while secretly observing Zhan Xin, whose appearance was unparalleled and whose demeanor was as cold as frost. Their eyes were filled with complex emotions. "Such an extraordinary and unparalleled dual cultivation method has been wasted like this. It's such a pity. If only... sigh."

"Hehe, let me tell you, there was a rumor over a hundred years ago. A female disciple of Taiqing Palace was on a training trip when she was suddenly attacked and rescued by a young man from a tribe. The two then traveled together to the Land of Fallen Gods, experiencing countless life-and-death trials, and feelings gradually developed between them."

"Later...later, a shocking piece of news spread throughout Qingtian City: even without cultivating the Heavenly Scroll of Taiqing Technique, as long as one engages in dual cultivation with a female disciple of Taiqing Palace, one's cultivation can advance by leaps and bounds. However, since it is not a combination of the Heavenly and Earthly methods, the female cultivator's cultivation will suffer severe damage afterward." A nosy cultivator lowered his voice and said mysteriously.

"Is this really true?" Everyone was shocked.

Upon hearing this, the gazes of several powerful and distinguished cultivators towards Zhan Xin underwent a subtle change, revealing a hint of greed and covetousness.

"After such a scandalous affair that damaged the sect's reputation was exposed, it caused a great uproar in Qingtian City, enraging the higher-ups of Taiqing Palace. They not only crippled the female disciple who had been secretly cultivating with outsiders, but also expelled her from the sect."

"And that tribal youth, because of his loose tongue, suffered a terrible fate, with the Taiqing Palace's higher-ups leading all the disciples to wipe out his entire tribe," the well-informed and charming young man said with a sigh.

"From then on, the Taiqing Palace’s higher-ups solemnly declared that anyone wishing to join the Taiqing Palace must swear a blood oath to Heaven. Internally, any female disciple below the Nascent Soul Realm who dares to engage in dual cultivation with a male disciple will have her cultivation abolished and be expelled from the sect. Externally, any disciple who dares to use insidious methods to defile a sect disciple will have their entire clan wiped out by the Taiqing Palace."

"Back then, this matter caused quite a stir in the city. If you're not afraid of being wiped out by those ruthless nuns who have been abstinent for years, then go ahead and try to use this method to cut off the heart."

Upon hearing this, some who had previously harbored ill intentions towards Zhan Xin felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, a chill running down their spines. The entire sect had already made its intentions known; who would dare not be wary?

"It seems that this Earthly Scroll of Taiqing Technique can only be practiced by disciples after they reach the Nascent Soul Realm, and only then will it not cause too much harm to their disciples. In any case, if we have the opportunity in the future, finding a female cultivator from Taiqing Palace as a Daoist partner would not be a bad thing." Some people were still unwilling and muttered to themselves.

It took quite a bit of time for these one hundred people to introduce themselves and their abilities.

During this period, Chen Xuan and Wang Kaixuan dared not slack off in the slightest, focusing intently on memorizing the backgrounds and strengths of these people, making full preparations for the upcoming assessment.

The time it takes to drink a cup of tea slips by quietly.

As the last cultivator finished reporting his background and strength, the bald, armored man leading the group in mid-air nodded slightly, a satisfied look on his face, and nodded to the alluring woman beside him.

"Although the overall strength of the participants in this assessment is slightly inferior to that of the previous ones, fortunately, disciples from the top sects in Qingtian County are participating. I think many people should be able to pass the assessment and join our God-Slaying Guard this time."

The alluring woman extended her blood-red tongue and gently licked the drop of blood at the corner of her mouth, which seemed to contain mysterious power. As if she had drawn some indescribable benefit from it, a strange light flashed in her eyes.

Then, she looked down at the hundred people below and said in a sharp voice, "Very good, there is a token here, which has the ability to resist the erosion of demonic energy here."

The woman waved her hand, and a large number of dark red tokens appeared in mid-air. "Each of you take one, refine it, and be sure to carry it with you at all times. Do not lose it. Otherwise, without the protection of these tokens, you can only hold out here for a maximum of seven days. If you can return here within seven days, you can still save your lives; if you are overdue... hmph."

The woman let out a sinister laugh that echoed through the air, sending chills down one's spine. "At that time, you will become like those demons corrupted by demonic energy, mindless walking corpses."

The bald, armored man then spoke up, saying, "By possessing this Demon-Repelling Talisman, you can stay in the Ancient Divine Mine for five months. During these five months, whether you choose to cooperate or act alone, you must obtain one hundred high-grade divine ore source stones."

As he spoke, the bald, armored man flicked his wrist, and a piece of ore emitting a strange, blood-red mist instantly appeared in his hand.

The moment this ore appeared, the surrounding space seemed to distort, and a nauseating stench of blood assaulted the senses.

The ore seemed to possess a life of its own, greedily absorbing the surrounding bloody aura, its appearance extremely bizarre.
