Chapter 541: Xunxian Mansion’s Unique Assessment

The Immortal Seeking Abode has existed for an unknown number of years, able to appear in the Great Era Struggle across various Realms where Prodigies emerge.

Therefore, the Immortal Seeking Abode has seen too many Prodigies; some are heirs to the strongest forces in certain Realms, while others are Reincarnations of Great Emperors or even Heavenly Emperors.

Precisely because it has encountered all sorts of Prodigies, the Immortal Seeking Abode has a unique and distinctive approach to selecting its students.

First, there is a fundamental restriction: one must be under five hundred years old and above the Saint Realm.

If one does not meet the standard, one cannot enter the Jade Gate of Tongtian Peak.

This has been proven by some older experts who attempted to enter the Immortal Seeking Abode.

No matter how strong they were, they still could not enter the Jade Gate; this Jade Gate was like a chasm, barring their way.

Aside from this most basic restriction, there are no others.

As long as one wins a challenge after entering the Jade Gate, one can become a student of the Immortal Seeking Abode and enter it.

The uniqueness of the Immortal Seeking Abode's assessment lies in the object of this challenge.

Xu Muge and Xu Ying entered the Jade Gate one after another, and after they entered, their vision and consciousness blurred for a moment.

When they recovered, they found themselves in a Divine Soul state, simultaneously in a boundless dark space.

There were many bright jade stones in the space, countless in number, floating in the air like stars in the night sky.

Xu Muge could clearly sense powerful Divine Souls within them, deep in slumber.

But when he appeared, these jade stones trembled slightly, as if the Divine Souls slumbering within them were about to awaken.

“Whoosh!”

The next moment, a jade stone flew in front of Xu Muge, and a white figure flew out from it; this person stood with his hands behind his back, his demeanor refined.

“Another Great Era Struggle has arrived.”

After sighing, he looked at Xu Muge with an indifferent expression and said,

“I am Leng Yi, the Divine Son of the Leng Ancient Family from the Earth Spirit Realm, a student who entered the Immortal Seeking Abode during the Earth Spirit Realm's third Great Era Struggle. You need to defeat me to enter the Immortal Seeking Abode.”

“If you lose, you will return. If you win, grasp the jade stone, and you can reach the Immortal Seeking Abode’s mountain gate, but you can also hold the jade stone and continue to challenge other Seniors.”

“The more jade stones you win, the higher your final ranking, and the more care and resources you will receive after entering the Immortal Seeking Abode.”

Xu Muge’s expression was astonished upon hearing this; Leng Yi’s words contained a lot of information.

Firstly, he was surprisingly a former student of the Immortal Seeking Abode, and he came from the Earth Spirit Realm, which Xu Luo had mentioned before.

Since he could leave a Divine Soul here to be part of a future assessment, did that mean that after Xu Muge passed, he could also become one of them, leaving a Divine Soul hidden in a jade stone, floating here?

Also, winning once passes the assessment, but winning more will also enter one into a ranking list, and the higher the rank, the more benefits.

“Please enlighten me.”

As soon as Leng Yi finished speaking, a long saber materialized in his hand, and he attacked Xu Muge.

Xu Muge could sense that his Cultivation was the same as his own, and Xu Muge thought this might be why, among so many jade stones, only the one containing Leng Yi flew towards him.

If this was truly the case, Xu Muge really wanted to see the expression of someone who wanted to pass the assessment and enter the Immortal Seeking Abode, when they encountered his Divine Soul during the next Great Era Struggle.

Facing Leng Yi, who was once a top Prodigy in the Earth Spirit Realm, Xu Muge’s expression was calm.

“If your Cultivation was higher than mine, I would need to take it seriously, but if you are just in the same Realm as me…”

“The difference is too great.”

In just two moves, Xu Muge dispersed Leng Yi’s Divine Soul, sending it back into the jade stone.

Picking up this jade stone, Xu Muge continued forward, and soon another jade stone came before him, from which a green figure floated out; his Realm was the same as Xu Muge’s, so it seemed his guess was correct.

“This Princess is…”

“Less talk, I’m in a hurry!”

Xu Muge advanced with his sword, resolving the opponent with one strike, and continued forward.

Delay brings change; passing the assessment early and entering the Immortal Seeking Abode would allow him to Cultivate in peace.

Not only him, but Xu Ying was also the same, just not as relaxed as him.

Xu Chen and Hai Yuanbai, who entered the Jade Gate one after another after them, were currently battling the Immortal Seeking Abode’s Senior students; they were not as relaxed as the two Immortal Bodies.

After all, those who could enter the Immortal Seeking Abode were almost all true Prodigies and monsters, none of them simple.

Those with strength like Xu Muge and Xu Ying certainly wanted to obtain more jade stones and aim for a higher rank.

But there were also those who were relatively weaker than them; these Prodigies expended all their efforts just to win once, and their Divine Souls were extremely weak afterward, so they naturally would not continue fighting, choosing instead to grasp the jade stone.

Soon, these first batch of students who passed the assessment appeared before the Immortal Seeking Abode’s mountain gate, only about a dozen of them.

It was also a seemingly ordinary Jade Gate at first glance, but this Jade Gate was many times larger than the one on Tongtian Peak.

On this Jade Gate, the three characters ‘Immortal Seeking Abode’ were written in a flowing Dragon and Phoenix style.

These three characters were written by the founder of the Immortal Seeking Abode, one of the most outstanding Heavenly Emperors among the many Realms below the Immortal Realm.

Therefore, these simple three characters contained his Dao; if one could comprehend even a little, it would definitely increase the success rate by several percent when Breaking through to become an Emperor in the future.

Even for Quasi-Emperor experts, these three characters were endlessly beneficial.

Next to this tall Jade Gate, there was an even taller stone tablet, on which names were written, with numbers next to them.

Clearly, this was a list, and the names on the list were the students who had previously entered the Immortal Seeking Abode, with the numbers indicating the quantity of Seniors they had defeated when they passed the assessment.

The first batch of students who had only won against one Senior and passed the assessment were amazed upon seeing the list on the stone tablet.

“What? I tried my best and could only win one, but these people actually won dozens? That’s too exaggerated!”

“How on earth did they do it?”

“You know, this Immortal Seeking Abode connects to various Realms, and the most monstrous Prodigies from every Realm come here. It’s normal for there to be existences we can’t comprehend.”

“Although we are called Prodigies, upon seeing them, we realize that they are the true Prodigies!”

Initially, after passing the assessment, they felt a bit smug about entering the Immortal Seeking Abode soon.

But upon seeing this list, they instantly calmed down, their initial complacency completely vanished, replaced only by shame and a desire to become stronger.

Perhaps this was one of the meanings behind the existence of this list.
