Chapter 1972: Chapter 841: Identity Exposed?
Generally speaking, selection processes like becoming an Imperial Palace Saint Heir are mostly elimination systems.
That is elimination at each level.
Xu Jin has mostly experienced such processes before, including the Qi Sha successor and Dao Heir selections, and others, all of which were the same.
But this time, the selection for the Imperial Palace Saint Heir is on a points-based system.
The total points ranking determines it. The top three hundred in the total points ranking can enter the initial selection.
This elimination level is not high; among over a thousand participants, it’s basically a one in four ratio.
Unfortunately, it’s only an initial selection; otherwise, there would be too many people who could become Imperial Palace Saint Heirs.
However, this ranking is not solely for filtering purposes.
The selection process arranged by the Tongxuan Imperial Palace for the Imperial Palace Saint Heir is also a cultivation process.
It focuses on growth ability and comprehensive performance during this cultivation process.
And not on the past.
The past can only reflect what has already happened.
The gap between ordinary people and True Monarch disciples, or even Emperor disciples, in the past could be said to be as vast as the difference between clouds and mud.
But the performance during the selection process is completely different.
Past strength certainly has an influence, but true talent can also be partially revealed.
This kind of selection method can be said to greatly ensure the fairness of the selection in some sense.
What surprises Xu Jin even more is that the announcement shows higher ranking deserves better rewards.
But it does not reveal the specifics of what the rewards are.
At present, only the first trial, the Tongyou Sacred Road, has been announced.
This trial mainly tests the Divine Soul, will, and mental state, with a primary focus on the Divine Soul.
The rule is straightforward: the further you travel on the Tongyou Sacred Road, the more points you earn.
No other rules exist.
Any means you have, you are free to use, even if a senior provides you with a Divine Soul Treasure of an Emperor-level killing device; you can use it.
Seeing these hints, the candidates from the Dongxuan Star Realm all looked towards True Monarch Tianzhang, hoping to gain some guidance from him.
After all, the Tongyou Sacred Road is a Supreme Treasure of the Tongxuan Imperial Palace, and many have ascended it.
The next moment, True Monarch Tianzhang’s somewhat helpless Divine Soul Transmission sounded in everyone’s minds.
"It is not that I am unwilling to help you all, but that it is useless. A single mistake might harm you instead.
The Tongyou Sacred Road is said to be a Supreme Treasure refined by the Emperor with exclusive Dao Vein power, not to mention the massive cost; it is incredibly profound.
The changes each person experiences upon stepping in are different. Even the same person, upon entering several times in succession, experiences different changes.
There is no need for you to worry.
Once inside, strive to go as far as you can, and staying in longer is favorable."
The group of Dao candidates looked at each other in dismay but had no choice but to accept.
The starlight projected over the Saint Selection Camp flickered for 100 breaths before scattering into starlight.
The next moment, True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment and Qian Yan True Monarch bowed to Emperor Dongxuan’s specter in the void, "Declarations are complete, we humbly request the emperor to open the Tongyou Sacred Road."
On the throne in the void, Emperor Dongxuan’s starlight specter casually waved, and a shimmering Light Gate appeared over the Saint Selection Camp.
After the two Nine Tribulations True Monarchs expressed their gratitude, they loudly announced, "Enter according to the order!"
Xu Jin’s order number is nine hundred thirty-five, placing him almost last.
While waiting to enter, Xu Jin suddenly had a thought and used Divine Soul Transmission to ask True Monarch Tianzhang, "Uncle, can the presiding True Monarchs observe the specific situation inside the Tongyou Sacred Road in real-time?"
Xu Jin didn’t mean to guard against anything, just wanted to clarify this point.
"Nephew, you overestimate them! The Tongyou Sacred Road is refined by the Emperor’s power of the Dao Veins and collected treasures, supposedly its fundamental components have other sources.
Not to mention the two Nine Tribulations True Monarchs, even the Emperor does not have the ability to observe the internal changes.
However, to demonstrate fairness, all participants’ real-time point rankings will be displayed outside." True Monarch Tianzhang said.
This reassured Xu Jin considerably.
Dozens of breaths later, as the figure before Xu Jin cleared, Xu Jin swiftly stepped onto the stars, the starlight on the Tongxuan Order flickering slightly, and disappeared into the Star Gate of the Tongyou Sacred Road.
Almost at the same moment, Xu Jin’s name appeared on the light screen in the sky, with very small font.
935th: Xu Jin, score zero.
The top ten rankings’ fonts are very large, with each character the size of a watermelon, and amidst the constant shimmering rotation, they begin to gradually solidify.
First place: He Moyu, forty-three points.
"Truly a genius favored by the emperor, so fast."
True Monarch Tianzhang and others looked at the leaderboard, slightly lamenting.
At this moment, although the top ten positions gradually solidify, ordinary people may not discern anything, but True Monarch Tianzhang and others can see through it.
Each name represents a significant figure behind them.
Second place: Xiang Yan, forty-one points.
Behind Xiang Yan is the Futu Emperor, one of the six great emperors within the Tongxuan Domain.
Third place: Ling Fei, forty-one points.
Ling Fei is backed by the Yu Kun Emperor, another of the six great emperors within the Tongxuan Domain.
Fourth place: Ruan Shan, forty points.
Ruan Shan is supported by the Jianshui Emperor, also one of the six great emperors within the Tongxuan Domain.
Fifth place: Ji Wei, forty points.
Ji Wei is not affiliated with the six great emperors within the Tongxuan Domain but comes from the Golden Rhinoceros Corps, one of the three major corps under Emperor Dongxuan.
Among the three major corps under the Emperor, aside from the Xuanxin Dao Army stationed within the Tongxuan Domain itself, the other two corps are not within the domain, guarding much more mysterious locations, with even stronger combat power.
