After conquering the Empress, I proved my Dao with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace!

"That's good. I hope to see you at the mountaintop!"

Upon hearing Qin Chuan's reply, Gu Wenxuan smiled with satisfaction, turned and left, heading towards the mountain.

Seeing Gu Wenxuan leave, Guan Yueyue frowned and said softly, "Actually, you don't have to do this. If I really wanted to take you up, what could he say?"

Qin Chuan shook his head and said: This Gu Wenxuan is deliberately targeting me. Once things get out of hand, my bloodline will definitely be exposed.

Since he wants me to take the test, then I'll take it fairly and squarely. That way, no one will have anything to say about my entry into the Heavenly Sword Sect!

“But…” Guan Yueyue’s face still showed a hint of hesitation.

I don't want to put you in a difficult position!

Qin Chuan smiled and said, "Are you worried that I won't pass the test?"

Upon hearing this, Guan Yueyue finally nodded and whispered, "Then I'll wait for you at the top of the mountain. You just need to follow the assessment elder."

After saying that, she left the place and headed up the mountain.

Just then, Jiang Zhixuan walked over, looked at Guan Yueyue who was walking away, and asked, "Senior Brother Qin, you came with Instructor Guan, didn't she accept you as her disciple directly?"

Qin Chuan shook his head and smiled.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhixuan looked apologetic and said in a low voice, "Senior Brother Xiao, I'm really sorry. I've dragged you into this. It must be because of Xu Liang's matter that Instructor Guan is blaming you."

Qin Chuan was taken aback, then realized that the girl in front of him had misunderstood. He smiled and said, "It has nothing to do with you. It's my own fault. Besides, it only takes a little more time."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhixuan looked envious. "If it's Senior Brother Qin, then there's definitely no problem, but I don't know if I'll have that opportunity."

Qin Chuan asked curiously, "Is this assessment difficult?"

"It's hard!"

Jiang Zhixuan looked solemn. "I heard that there are three stages in this assessment. Only by passing all three stages can one stay in the Heavenly Sword Sect."

"All of you, come with me!"

Just as Qin Chuan was about to ask about the details of the assessment, a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect suddenly walked up to the group.

Seeing this, Qin Chuan stopped talking and followed the disciple forward.

Before long, dozens of boys and girls, including Qin Chuan, were taken to a square.

As soon as I entered the square, a cacophony of noise erupted. There were already many people standing in the square, who seemed to have come from all over the country.

There are also four huge stone pillars in the square, carved with giant dragons riding on auspicious clouds, which are very imposing.

Qin Chuan hadn't waited long when the three old men slowly walked over and stood on the stone platform at the very front of the square.

After these three people appeared, the crowd below the stage stirred up, knowing that the Heavenly Sword Sect's assessment was about to begin.

The elderly man at the head of the group wore a loose gray robe. Although his hair was completely white, his eyes were bright and piercing. He swept his gaze across the square like lightning and shouted angrily, "Quiet!"

This angry shout contained hidden power, which made everyone's ears hurt and they all fell silent.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, the white-haired elder nodded in satisfaction and said, "My name is Chi Yu! You can call me Elder Chi. You all come from different places, but as long as you can enter the Heavenly Sword Sect, we are all one family. But the prerequisite is that you can pass the entrance examination!"

After speaking for a while, Chi Yu got straight to the point: "The entrance examination is divided into three stages. Now I will announce the rules for the first stage: the bloodline test!"

As he spoke, the old man waved his sleeve, and a stone tablet appeared in the middle of the square.

Chi Yu slowly said, "This is a stone tablet for testing bloodlines. One-star bloodline adds one point, two-star bloodline adds two points, three-star bloodline adds three points, and so on... After the total score of the three tests exceeds eighteen points, you can officially become a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect!"

Besides these three tests, if your score isn't high enough, there's an additional assessment. If any of you are alchemists or weapon refiners, you'll receive extra points!

After saying that, he swept his gaze across the people in the square and shouted, "Did you all understand?"

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

"..."

Everyone answered in unison.

Chi Yu nodded and said, "Let's begin the assessment now!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and casually pointed to someone, "You'll be the first to be tested. Just place your right hand on the bloodline stone tablet!"

"Yes!"

The person pointed to by Chi Yu was a tall young man who showed no fear as he strode confidently to the bloodline stele.

"This man is called Gao Kui. He is the number one genius in Lieyun City. I heard that his cultivation has already reached the third level of the Xuan Master realm!"

"So young and already at the third level of the Profound Master realm!?"

"..."

After Gao Kui walked out, some people who recognized him whispered among themselves.

"Shh!"

As Gao Kui placed his hand on the stone tablet, golden light suddenly emanated from it!

After the light faded, a line of words appeared on the stone tablet.

Sixth-grade bloodline!

There was quite a commotion in the square, which was already considered genius by outsiders.

After glancing at the words on the stone tablet, Chi Yu said calmly, "Sixth-grade bloodline, add six points. You stay to the side for now!"

"Yes, Elder Chi!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Kui, his face beaming with pride, clasped his hands in a respectful bow and then walked to the side.

Immediately, Chi Yu's voice came again, "The second person to be tested, step forward!"

This time, the old man did not point to anyone, but a young man in brocade robes walked up to the stone tablet and placed his hand on it.

The moment it was placed on the stone tablet, just like Gao Kui before it, golden light shone from it.

After the light faded, a line of words was revealed on the stone tablet.

Fifth-grade bloodline!

"Another fifth-grade bloodline!"

Upon seeing this scene, many people were unsettled. These bloodline levels, which are rarely seen in the outside world, seemed to be commonplace here.

Then, when the third person took the stage, the stone tablet displayed a third-grade bloodline, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, not everyone was so monstrous.

The square was orderly, with one person after another stepping forward to take the test.

Qin Chuan was in a panic. He had no idea that the assessment included a bloodline test.

If that's the case, wouldn't it make it public that he possesses ten bloodlines?

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people around, Qin Chuan hurriedly asked, "Senior Yao Xi, is there a way to prevent the ten-star bloodline from being displayed on the stone tablet?"

Just as Qin Chuan was extremely anxious, Empress Yao Xi's voice finally came, "Yes, there is, but the method to lower the level cannot be specified, and I can't say for sure how much it can be lowered."

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan pondered for a moment and sighed, "It's good that it can be reduced, at least it doesn't have to be as shocking as ten stars!"

Just then, Jiang Zhixuan moved gracefully to the stone tablet and placed her fair hand on it.
