Chapter 5: The College Entrance Examination!
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and Chu Xuan's Limitless Body Refining Technique was just a little bit away from being perfected.
That's right, in just ten days, he's about to go from the initial stage to the final stage of cultivation. It sounds unbelievable, but in Chu Xuan's eyes, it's just routine.
With the various cultivation manuals in the Federal Library, as long as one is dedicated and willing to spend time, it is not difficult to master a cultivation technique to a high level.
Furthermore, Chu Xuan's unparalleled Wuji Gong (limitless skill) greatly accelerates this process.
Based on past experience, those who have mastered Wuji Gong to a high degree will likely achieve mastery of Wuji body-training techniques within a month and reach perfection within a year after graduating from high school.
As for achieving unparalleled mastery and reaching the pinnacle of skill in the future, that will be difficult.
As they walked down the street, a large number of children and parents had already gathered at the No. 1 High School in the city. Chu Xuan's family had originally planned to come as well, but they were persuaded to stay yesterday because Chu Xuan wanted to avoid disturbing his college entrance examination.
Instead, we prepared a sumptuous dinner at home to celebrate Chu Xuan's coming of age!
Suppressing his thoughts, Chu Xuan followed the flow of people toward the No. 1 Middle School. Once at the school gate, only examinees were allowed to enter. The school was packed with parents, leaving only a narrow passage for examinees that the school had previously cleared.
This scene is not much different from my previous life.
Chu Xuan smiled slightly, and then walked into the No. 1 Middle School under everyone's gaze.
"That young man didn't seem nervous at all!"
"I guess they're confident."
"What confidence can we have? Right now, the only thing that's decided is the comprehension test. Even if he gets three points, he'll still be five points short."
"That's true. Perseverance, temperament, and aptitude are all things that can't be predicted."
"If you ask me, this young man is just like me back then. He didn't intend to pass the exam for the Immortal Mansion. He just came here to broaden his horizons, so naturally he's not nervous."
"That makes sense!" An old man nodded in deep agreement, clearly having done the same thing back then.
The old lady next to him slapped the old man on the shoulder, "Don't talk nonsense. That kid is taking the college entrance exam. Do you think everyone is like you?"
······
Chu Xuan had already entered the examination hall by this time. If Chu Xuan had heard what the old man said, he would definitely have given the old man a thumbs up. You are absolutely right. Chu Xuan is here with the idea of broadening his horizons.
Whether or not you pass the exam is not important, since you have a way out anyway. What's important is to see the Federation's immortal artifact. This is the only chance an ordinary person will ever have in their lifetime to see an immortal artifact.
If nothing unexpected happens, this will be Chu Xuan's only chance to see a celestial artifact in the near future.
Following the flow of people to the playground, Chu Xuan found a quiet spot and waited patiently for the college entrance examination to begin. In the Federation, the college entrance examination did not require going to a classroom; it was taken directly on the playground.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, three streaks of light broke through the air in the distance. In a flash, everyone saw three figures appear in the void.
Two young people, a man and a woman, stood on the left and right, each with a flying sword beneath their feet, radiating a hazy magical light.
Flying on a sword, a Foundation Establishment cultivator!
As for the one in the middle, he shocked Chu Xuan even more. He was a smiling young man who looked to be only about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. But there was nothing under his feet. He just stood there casually in the void.
Soaring through the air in vain, a Golden Core cultivator!
Eight large characters instantly appeared in Chu Xuan's mind. Even though he already knew that the examiners for the college entrance examination were all Golden Core cultivators, Chu Xuan was still very shocked to see them with his own eyes.
A Golden Elixir True Person lives for five hundred years; this is a true immortal.
"Greetings to the three Dharma Protectors!"
The disciples of the Immortal Abode are all protectors of the Federation, and their treatment is equivalent to that of a major general in the army or a mayor in a local area. As for those above the disciples of the Immortal Abode, Chu Xuan does not know what kind of treatment they receive.
"Please don't be shy, everyone."
As he spoke, Cao Yang gently waved his hand, and a strand of magic power transformed into three thousand strands, precisely lifting everyone up.
Is this a Golden Core cultivator? That's incredibly powerful!
Chu Xuan's eyes also became intense.
"Fellow students, let's get straight to the point!"
"I am Cao Yang, and I have been ordered by the Celestial Palace to oversee the college entrance examination affairs at Mingjiang No. 1 Middle School!"
"During the examination, the examiner must strictly abide by the laws of the Celestial Palace and the Federal Laws, ensuring fairness and impartiality. Any violation will be punished by lightning strikes, and we respectfully request the Heavenly Mirror to witness the judgment!"
A moment later, a majestic voice resounded through the void, "The Celestial Observation Realm is open, the Five Thunder Palace is in session!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the atmosphere on the field instantly became solemn. The Heavenly Mirror and the Five Thunder Palace were renowned establishments in the Federation.
The Mirror of Heaven can see the heavens and the earth, and can observe the four directions and eight corners. It is one of the Federation's national treasures, a genuine artifact left behind by an immortal. Except for that one person, no one in the entire Federation can escape the Mirror of Heaven's detection.
Of course, this is on the premise that the Celestial Mirror is activated. The national treasure consumes too much spiritual energy of heaven and earth when used once. If it is not necessary, no one will be willing to use it, and the cost of monitoring is much lower.
Even during the college entrance examination, the Mirror of Heaven is only activated in a small part, only looking at the various test points, not fully activated to monitor the entire world.
As for the Five Thunder Palace, needless to say, the prestige of the Immortal Abode is largely due to the Five Thunder Palace. If the Federation encounters a problem that the police and the military cannot solve, the Five Thunder Palace will most likely step in.
Chu Xuan still remembered that about seven or eight years ago, a Golden Core demon was born in the deep sea, which directly triggered the Federation's Heavenly Surveillance Array and alarmed the disciples on duty at the Five Thunder Palace.
Before the Golden Core demon could cause any trouble, a Five Thunderbolts Orthodox Method descended and sent it away.
There are also some extremist citizens who endanger public safety. In some difficult situations, the federal police sometimes petition the Five Thunder Temple and apply for the Five Thunder Punishment!
According to the data released by the Immortal Mansion, within the Federation, no living being below the Nascent Soul stage can withstand the Five Thunder Orthodox Method. In addition, with the Immortal Artifact Sky-Gazing Mirror locking onto their location, it can be said that anyone below the Nascent Soul stage is doomed to die!
Even a Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't necessarily fare well against the Five Thunder Palace and the Heavenly Mirror.
With the Heavenly Mirror and the Five Thunder Hall supervising the exam, the possibility of cheating was completely eliminated. Perhaps there were powerful figures in the Immortal Mansion who had the ability to cheat, but at that level, there was no need to cheat.
As his voice fell, Cao Yang's face turned solemn. "I hereby declare the college entrance examination officially open!"
"First subject: Comprehension test!"
With a wave of his hand, Cao Yang sent forth a string of prepared spirit jades that soared through the air, landing precisely in front of each examinee like a celestial maiden scattering flowers.
"All candidates, circulate the Limitless Power. After a quarter of an hour, infuse the magical power you have gained into the spiritual jade before you."
Upon hearing this, Chu Xuan dared not delay and immediately began to circulate the Wuji Gong. Strands of spiritual energy from heaven and earth were absorbed into Chu Xuan's body. Even though Chu Xuan's Wuji Gong had reached a superb level, the speed at which he absorbed spiritual energy from heaven and earth was still very slow.
The spiritual energy of this world is far too thin!
