Chapter 689 The Assessment Begins

On the top of Tianshu Peak, there is a wide square that can accommodate tens of thousands of people.

Around the square, there are many pavilions and halls.

The magnificent momentum is far better than Jixia Academy! The airship slowly landed on a high platform, and everyone got off the airship.

Ye Xinghe and Bai Ruyun also jumped down and landed on the square.

At this time, there were already quite a few people around the square.

Looking over, there were crowds of people.

Ye Xinghe narrowed his eyes and murmured in a low voice: "Sure enough, there are not only people from Beichen Peak."

"There should be nearly 10,000 people on the square." Bai Ruyun smiled when he heard this and explained: "We are divided into five candidate peaks."

"Each peak is divided into about 2,000 candidate disciples."

"Even if many people withdrew from the audition just now, there should be more than 5,000 people."

Ye Xinghe nodded and took a deep breath.

Among more than 5,000 people, only a few hundred will be selected, and less than one-tenth can advance.

It can be seen that the assessment is cruel! The two looked around at the disciples who were taking the test.

Most of the disciples were in the twelfth floor of the Shengang Realm, but there was a group of people with a particularly strong aura! That group of people was obviously different from the people from the four major peaks in the southeast, northwest, and northeast.

They formed their own faction, standing in the middle of the crowd, looking around at everyone proudly.

Their aura far exceeded that of ordinary disciples! The weakest ones were half-step Tianhe Realm, and the strong ones even reached Tianhe Realm! Ye Xinghe looked at the group of people, frowned slightly, and whispered: "Why are these people so strong?"

Bai Ruyun followed his gaze.

When he saw the group of people, his face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Junior Brother Ye, you have to be careful of that group of people, try not to make enemies with them."

Ye Xinghe showed a puzzled look on his face and asked: "Why do you say that?"

Bai Ruyun's eyes showed a deep fear, and his voice became lower and lower: "This group of people is different from us. They are the direct outer disciples of Zhongqu Peak!"

"There are four direct outer sects on Zhongqu Peak."

"They are the Kuangfeng Sect, the Baoyu Sect, the Nulei Sect, and the Jidian Sect."

"These four sects are directly trained by the Beidou Sword Sect to select talents."

"They are several times stronger than those selected by small sects from all over the country!"

Ye Xinghe raised his eyebrows, stared at the group with interest, and murmured in a low voice: "It seems that the four direct outer sects are my strongest opponents this time."

While the two were talking, someone next to them was talking about the four direct outer sects.

The disciples glanced at the group from time to time and whispered.

"I heard that everyone in the four direct outer sects has special martial arts."

"Just as my senior brother said, the four outer sects are divided according to the four martial arts of wind, rain, thunder and lightning."

"I was fortunate to see it once. A senior brother from the Kuangfeng Sect took action. When he waved his hand, a storm followed! That scene was really terrifying!"

Everyone heard this and looked at the four outer disciples with deep fear in their eyes.

Ye Xinghe kept this information in mind.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.

At this time, Elder Liu suddenly shouted in a deep voice: "Quiet!"

The low voice was full of majesty.

Everyone immediately stopped talking and looked up.

I saw Elder Liu stepping into the air and walking step by step to a high platform.

On the high platform, two arched door pillars stood, more than ten meters high.

On the stone pillars, there were complicated symbols engraved, which seemed to be some kind of advanced formation.

Next to the stone pillars, there stood seven elders, all wearing white robes embroidered with gold threads of the Big Dipper.

As if, he is the same elder of the Seven Peaks as Elder Liu! Elder Liu nodded slightly to the other six people and said, "Open the secret realm!"

After the words fell, the seven people stretched out their hands and urged the divine power together to activate the stone pillars.

Behind the seven people, there were shadows! That was the soul of the seven people! The powerful breath rushed up to the sky! With the infusion of the divine power, complex purple symbols lit up on the stone pillars! The purple light was great! The brilliance was dense! An ancient and mysterious atmosphere enveloped the square.

Everyone was shocked and stared at the entrance to the secret realm.

Ye Xinghe also showed a hint of excitement in his eyes, and chuckled: "The assessment is finally about to begin!"

After a while, a mysterious deep purple light appeared in the center of the two stone pillars.

The waves were rippling, like the surface of the water.

The entrance to the secret realm was successfully opened! Elder Liu retracted his hands and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Then, he turned his head, his expression solemn, and said loudly: "Behind me is the Zichen Secret Realm!"

"This is the place you will enter for this assessment!"

"You will be divided into groups of ten and enter the secret realm."

"The assessment goal is also very simple, obtain five natural treasures, and kill five demon beasts above the tenth level of the Divine Realm."

"You have a total of one month. By then, those who complete the task can be promoted to disciples of the Seven Peaks!"

Hearing the assessment goal, Ye Xinghe smiled slightly.

This assessment goal is not too difficult. Even without teammates, he can easily complete it.

Everyone's face also showed joy, and it was obvious that the task was easy.

But, then, Elder Liu's words made everyone's face change drastically.

Elder Liu glanced at everyone indifferently, and his words suddenly became sharp, saying: "There is another rule, you must pay special attention!"

"In the Zichen Secret Realm, disciples are not prohibited from fighting each other! You can kill at will!"

When this came out, everyone was in an uproar.

No killing?

That is to say, everyone can kill people and take treasures at will! In this way, the chances of survival of disciples with low strength are greatly reduced! Sure enough, the assessment of Beidou Sword Sect will not be too simple! Hearing this, many disciples have already shown horror on their faces and retreated in their hearts.

And Ye Xinghe just smiled indifferently and said softly: "This is interesting."

Then, the grouping began.

Ye Xinghe and Bai Ruyun were not assigned to the same group.

Before the two separated, Bai Ruyun handed Ye Xinghe a green jade pendant and said: "Junior Brother Ye, this is a communication jade pendant."

"If any of us are in danger, we can crush the jade pendant and notify each other."

Ye Xinghe took the jade pendant and reminded: "Senior Sister Bai, you don't have to worry about me."

"You should be careful. If you encounter danger, crush the jade pendant to notify me."

"I will definitely go to rescue!"

Bai Ruyun nodded and said: "Junior Brother Ye, you should also be careful."

After the two separated, Ye Xinghe also went to find his team.

He held a wooden sign with the number eight in his hand and came to the location of Group 8.

When Ye Xinghe arrived, many people were already standing here.

The other nine people seemed to have arrived.

"Why are you so slow, kid? You're dawdling!"

As soon as he arrived, he heard someone shouting impatiently.

Ye Xinghe frowned slightly and was about to explain.

But he heard the man sneer and said sarcastically:
