Chapter 26 Immortal Selection

With the support of a divine-grade talent, there was no need for the six months that the Blood Demon had mentioned.

A week later, Yu Chen had mastered the Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique.

It was mainly because these beasts were too ferocious.

As soon as they saw Yu Chen recover from his injuries, they would pounce on him like crazy.

Moreover, there were not just one or two of them, but more than a dozen in groups.

At first, Yu Chen would resist.

After all, they were here to attack Yu Chen, and Yu Chen did not want them to succeed easily.

But in the end, Yu Chen gave up.

They were too powerful. According to Yu Chen’s estimation, there must be fifth realm or even sixth realm monsters in the group.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a fifth realm cultivator lying in this dark room.

Even those high-level cultivators could not resist, let alone Yu Chen.

Coupled with the uniqueness of the Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique, Yu Chen’s wounds healed faster and faster.

When Yu Chen finished cultivating the Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique, he would be attacked almost every half an hour.

The physical pain almost made Yu Chen lose his mind, but his current strength was not enough to resist these monsters.

Two weeks later, his Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique reached the ninth level of the first realm.

Three weeks later, his Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique reached the third level of the second realm.

Soon, the day of the Hunyuan Sect’s Immortal selection came.

During these weeks, no one knew what Yu Chen had experienced in the Heavenly Prison.

Although he had the support of ‘Calm and Composed’, Yu Chen was still groggy and his eyes were a little numb.

His main body only stubbornly assumed a cultivation posture. No matter how the monster attacked, Yu Chen would not stop cultivating. When his Blood God Mental Cultivation Technique reached the same level as his Primordial Chaos Art, Yu Chen’s strength would increase greatly.

Then it would be time to start fighting back the monster.

Outside the Heavenly Prison.

On a certain floating island in the Xuanming Mountain Range and the Hunyuan Sect.

“Don’t you think this Saint is a little strange?”

“It’s been almost a month. He’s sitting at home all day, not cultivating or going out.”

“He couldn’t be a monster, could he?”

“Shhh… not so loud. You’ll lose your head if you’re heard.”

“That’s true. He doesn’t seem like a normal person at all.”

A group of white-robed true disciples of the Hunyuan Sect discussed along the way. They took an airship and headed toward Yu Chen’s floating island.

Finally, they hovered at the edge of the floating island.

“Saint Chen, the Sect Master asked us to bring you to the main hall for a meeting!”

On the floating island, Yu Chen slowly opened his eyes.

Compared to more than half a month ago, Yu Chen’s expression was much more lifeless.

Everything that his main body experienced in the Heavenly Prison also affected his avatar.

At this moment, Yu Chen was sitting in the cultivation room of the palace.

The palace was built by that group of cultivators. They worked very fast and completed it in just two days.

Not long after the construction was completed, Ning Yan was picked up by her family.

Yu Chen slowly stood up and used ‘Calm and Composed’ on his avatar.

Finally recovering some energy, Yu Chen rubbed his numb face.

‘Yu Chen, wake up. It’s time for revenge.’

‘All of this was caused by that little bastard Wang Yun.’

‘You can’t let him become the Immortal. If you kill the Immortal, you will be an enemy of the Hunyuan Sect.’

‘Besides, you can’t stand to see your enemy in such glory.’

After giving himself a pep talk, Yu Chen walked out.

Hunyuan Hall, the main hall of the Hunyuan Sect.

The Hunyuan Hall Master was also called the Hunyuan Sect Sect Master, and the Deputy Hall Master was also called the Deputy Sect Master.

At this moment, sixteen hall masters, thirty-two deputy hall masters, and the law enforcement elders of the various halls were gathered in the Hunyuan Hall.

There were more than a hundred people present, and they were basically high-level cultivators of the Hunyuan Sect.

At this moment, the four Saints and two Saintesses had gathered. They stood in the middle of the hall and waited for the Sect Master to speak.

Wang Yun stood beside a blue-robed woman with a veil on her face. From time to time, he would turn around and whisper something to her with a fawning expression.

Unfortunately, the woman could not be bothered with him.

Yu Chen saw all of this and thought to himself, ‘The original host was actually sent to the Heavenly Prison by a bootlicker. He’s such a good-for-nothing.’ Unfortunately, it was Yu Chen who was now being tortured in the Heavenly Prison.

And the original host had run off somewhere.

Perhaps he had died, or perhaps he had transmigrated to the world of Yu Chen and continued to be a corporate slave.

Erm…

Thinking about it this way, the prison was much more comfortable than being a corporate slave.

When Yu Chen thought about these matters, he had a strange feeling in his heart.

Why would he rather be tortured in the fantasy world than return to his original world to be a corporate slave?

After a while, Sect Master Feng Changchun began to speak.

“Everyone, you are all the future of our Hunyuan Sect, but the future of the Hunyuan Sect needs a leader.”

“This Immortal selection will be divided into many steps to test your various abilities.”

“If you encounter a test you’re not good at, just get as many points as possible. Remember not to risk your foundation.”

“After you have experienced all the tests, the points obtained from each test will be added up. The person with the highest score will be the Immortal.”

“0

“To ensure fairness, this test will be carried out under the witness of many hall masters of the Hunyuan Sect.”

The first test of the Immortal selection: the Heavenly Staircase!

Heavenly Staircase: A kind of staircase with no end. Each time one climbs a Heavenly Staircase, they will feel heavier pressure.

This test mainly tested the determination of the Saints and Saintesses to cultivate.

In other words, perseverance.

Of course, different cultivators had different constitutions.

To Saints and Saintesses with weaker physiques, this test was unfair.

Therefore, according to the physiques of each Saint and Saintess, the Heavenly Staircase would specially give them corresponding scoring rules.

“Hmm?”

Just as he was about to enter the Heavenly Staircase, Yu Chen realized that the Saints and Saintesses beside him had begun to use the Primordial Chaos Art.

They all transformed their physical cultivation into spiritual power cultivation. This would make their physiques seem weaker.

Then, during the real test, they would transform all their spiritual power cultivation into physical cultivation.

In this way, they could minimize the pressure they would encounter on the steps and get more points.

It seemed that other than Yu Chen, the others had a certain understanding of the selection of the Immortal.

Yu Chen also used the Primordial Chaos Art to transform his physical cultivation into spiritual power cultivation.

Just like that, the few of them entered the Heavenly Staircase one after another.

[Saint: Zhao Wuji

Cultivation: Third Realm Level Eight

Scoring rule: One point for every seventh step.)

(Saint: Sun Sheng

Cultivation: Third Realm Level Eight

Scoring rule: One point for every seventh step.)

From the rules, Yu Chen could tell that the two Saints whom he did not recognize had similar physique.

Outside, the numerous hall masters frowned.

“One point for every seventh step. How can he be so weak?”

“Although it’s because of the Primordial Chaos Art, this is too weak. Could it be that the Saints of this generation…”

“No, there’s still Wang Yun. Wang Yun’s cultivation is the strongest among the Saint. His scoring rules might be able to surprise the outside world.”

For the Saints and Saintesses, the rule was that the lower the steps, the better.

To the experts of the Hunyuan Sect, the higher the better. After all, the higher the steps, the higher the strength and quality of the Saints and Saintesses.
