65: Chapter 65 Ninth Round of Assessment

However, the gains of these Purple Palace Cultivators were also quite good, because what they faced was the assessment of the Purple Mansion Stage, and all the rewards they obtained were of the Tier 3.

It was precisely because of this that they felt increasingly regretful. If they had proceeded step-by-step from the very beginning, perhaps they could have obtained even more rewards.

After an hour, over a thousand Cultivators had already been eliminated. Almost all of them were the top geniuses of every Family and power.

Among them, more than ten Purple Palace Cultivators appeared again. Their complexions were somewhat ugly, but when they saw that nearly twenty Purple Palace Cultivators had already come out earlier, they felt somewhat joyful in their hearts, though on the surface they still maintained an ugly expression.

As soon as they appeared, groups of old friends surrounded them to converse.

"Brother Songhe, how are you doing? Have you broken through to the sixth floor?" Master Moyun, one of the original six Purple Mansion Masters and also a Tier 3 Formation Master, spoke up to inquire. The two had known each other since the Foundation Establishment Stage, and their relationship was quite deep.

"Sigh! Brother Moyun, this old man won't deceive you. Although the difficulty of the first five floors is high, this old man still had the confidence to enter. I just didn't expect that the assessment of the sixth floor, which seemed simple, was actually far more difficult than the previous five passes." Senior Songhe sighed and said helplessly.

Master Moyun's curiosity was aroused, and he continued to press on. He had already been eliminated on the fourth floor, considered one of the earliest batches of Purple Palace Cultivators to be eliminated. Originally, he was just a Formation Master and was not good at combat.

"The assessment of the sixth floor is chosen by the Successor themselves, divided into Spiritual Root, Comprehension Ability, skill, ..., these six items. To play it safe, this old man chose the simplest Spiritual Root test among them. As a result, the Spiritual Root test doesn't just test your Spiritual Root attribute, but rather tests the profoundness of your Qi within the same realm. This old man was eliminated just like that."

"I see. Brother Songhe needn't feel sad either; being able to break through the first five floors means your strength has already surpassed quite a few Purple Palace Cultivators," Master Moyun said indifferently.

The two continued to exchange pleasantries via voice transmission.

After a few more hours, the python-robed elder, Master Tianlong, was also teleported out. As soon as he appeared, quite a few Purple Mansion Masters were somewhat astonished.

As the existence with the highest cultivation here, Master Tianlong not only had a cultivation that had reached the Purple Mansion 9th Layer Perfection, but also possessed combat power close to a False Core Cultivator. Such a figure was actually eliminated as well.

However, this was also quite normal. After all, the Purple Palace Cultivators who went for the assessment had almost all come out, with only a few people still undergoing the assessment. Although those few did not have a higher cultivation than Master Tianlong, regardless of their talent or Aptitude, they might not necessarily lose to Master Tianlong.

What baffled everyone was that he didn't pass the assessment. Just how difficult was this Wanta Sect's assessment?

Another Purple Palace Cultivator from the Tianyan Sect walked to Master Tianlong's side and sent a voice transmission, "Senior Brother, which floor did you reach?"

Master Tianlong only sighed in a low voice, "The eighth floor."

"The eighth floor?" That Purple Palace Cultivator exclaimed, not expecting that even Master Tianlong could only reach the eighth floor.

"During the assessment of this Legacy Pagoda, the younger the age, the greater the opportunity. For old folks like us who have lived for hundreds of years, it's very hard to walk to the end. There should still be some young Cultivators inside, right?" Master Tianlong asked.

"Yeah, there is still one Disciple from our Sect who hasn't appeared yet; they should still be inside undergoing the assessment."

...

On the eighth floor, Li Qingling was undergoing the Comprehension Ability assessment. She chose Spiritual Root on the sixth floor, skill on the seventh floor, and when it came to the eighth floor, what she chose was Comprehension Ability.

The Comprehension Ability assessment was actually very simple: it was to comprehend a Cultivation Technique. As long as she could successfully comprehend the Cultivation Technique within the prescribed time, she would be able to enter the next floor.

And right now, she still had an hour left before the assessment ended, so time was still very abundant.

Meanwhile, Chen Changqing had just finished the skill assessment on the eighth floor and was heading to the ninth floor.

Along the way, he had been quite smooth. Whether it was the Divine Soul assessment on the sixth floor, the Comprehension Ability assessment on the seventh floor, or the skill assessment he had just passed, none of them were too difficult challenges for him.

Even for the Physical Body assessment on the ninth floor that followed, he was not afraid. Regarding his Physical Body, he dared to bluntly assert that it was impossible for the entire Great Yan Country to have someone who reached a Tier 1 Top Grade Physical Body at his age.

It was very simple. Talented Cultivators often did not Cultivate their Physical Body, and untalented Cultivators, even if they cultivated their Physical Body, might not necessarily have talent in it. Moreover, there were no shortcuts to take on the path of the Physical Body, except for him.

After the icy voice's speech fell, Chen Changqing chose the Physical Body assessment.

In the secret room, several stone locks of varying sizes rose from the ground.

Chen Changqing stepped forward to stroke them, feeling the material of these stone locks, and lamented in his heart, "These stone locks are actually refined from Tier 1 Top Grade Ores; they are truly lavish."

"Please, Successor, lift the corresponding stone lock according to your own physical strength. The final assessment result will determine your Aptitude based on the size of the stone lock and the duration it is lifted."

Hearing this, Chen Changqing's heart stirred. Wasn't this pretty much the same meaning as weightlifting?

He walked over to the smallest stone lock and first weighed its specific weight with his hand.

Chen Changqing grabbed both sides of the stone lock and felt the weight. Not bad! It weighed about ten thousand catties, but this bit of weight really wasn't heavy.

After easily lifting it up, he heavily threw the stone lock down. Boom!

Looking at the second stone lock, this stone lock was only twenty thousand catties, equivalent to the limit physical strength a Tier 1 Medium Grade Yao Beast could achieve.

The weight of the third stone lock directly went up a notch to fifty thousand catties. However, with Chen Changqing's strength, he lifted it without any mishap. Furthermore, this wasn't even his full strength; with fifty thousand catties of strength, even quite a few Tier 1 High Grade Yao Beasts might not necessarily reach this level.

The fourth stone lock was twice as large as the third one. Chen Changqing held his breath and concentrated, his eyes filled with excitement. Ever since his Physical Body reached Tier 1 Top Grade, he had never tested how much strength he specifically had. Now was a great time to test just how strong his Physical Body was.

"Hah!" Grabbing the stone lock with both hands and mobilizing the Qi and blood within his body, blue veins instantly bulged on Chen Changqing's hands, and violent Qi and blood surged out from his body. This one-hundred-thousand-catty stone lock slowly rose from the ground.

"Hoo!" After about ten breaths, Chen Changqing threw the stone lock in his hand forward and then exhaled a breath of foul air.

"My strength has reached one hundred thousand catties. I'm afraid that even among Tier 1 High Grade Yao Beasts, the ones best at physical strength might not necessarily reach this level. As expected, choosing the Cangtian Transforming Dragon Art Cultivation Technique back then was the right choice." Chen Changqing was excited in his heart.

This was still because he lacked True Dragon blood. If there was even a trace of True Dragon blood in his body, his Physical Body would probably have to go up another level. Perhaps by then, he could single-handedly kill a Foundation Establishment Cultivator with just his Physical Body alone.
