Upon hearing this, Dongyang smiled and said, "If it were normal, I would keep you by my side and would help you practice quickly, but my road is destined to be full of thorns. If you stay by my side, your situation will be very dangerous. Entering the Zi Yao Imperial Palace is a good choice for you. As long as you don't mention your relationship to outsiders, you will be fine!"

In the following days, Dongyang and Qiushan Yuming seemed to have never had anything to do. They would wander around Ziyao City every day. Whether it was Qiushan Yuming or Dongyang, it was the first time they came to Ziyao City, so naturally some of them were wandering around.

Dongyang also took advantage of the time he was wandering around the city to secretly pay attention to the actions of the Zi Yao Imperial Palace. However, there was no follow-up action on the Zi Yao Imperial Palace. Instead, the various discussions of the people in the city made him feel a little amused and crying.

Some people say that the sword master Dongyang ignores the sincerity of Ziyao Imperial Palace because of his confidence in himself, because he is the number one person on the yellow list and does not need to rely on others.

But more people say that the kindness of the star master of the Wu Zi Yao Palace in Dongyang is blindly arrogant and ignorant. Even if he is the number one on the yellow list, it can only mean that he is very strong now and still has a long way to go in the future. As one of the strongest Four Noble Truths in the wilderness world, if you can accept you as your personal disciple, you will look down on you, but you will not know how to do it.

Dongyang did not choose to ignore this, and there would be no comment. Everyone has their own ideas and cannot control other people's ideas. As for whether others' words are listened to, it doesn't matter.

Before we knew it, half a month passed quietly. Those who had signed up for the Zi Yao Imperial Palace entrance examination held the leaflets they had obtained and gathered outside the misty mountains. There were hundreds of thousands of people. In addition to the bystanders, the scene was so crowded. Looking around, it was full of people.

Still in Dongyang, who was still in the inn room, a glimmer of light suddenly floated out from his eyebrows, and it disappeared directly between Qiushan Yuming's eyebrows.

"Brother, is this useful?"

Dongyang smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, you just need to accept the assessment with peace of mind, and you don't need to think too much about the rest!"

"Well... I don't care anyway!"

"Let's go!" After saying that, Dongyang disappeared out of thin air with Qiushan Yuming and appeared again, and was already among the crowded crowd outside the Zi Yao Emperor Palace.

Dongyang patted Qiushan Yuming's beautiful shoulders and chuckled: "Go, relax, let it go, and everything should come naturally!"

"Well..." Qiushan Yuming nodded and turned around and entered the camp of the examiners, waiting for the Zi Yao Imperial Palace to enter the palace for the assessment.

"The first level is to test the degree of fit between the applicant and the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. To put it bluntly, it is to test the individual's cultivation qualifications. The second level is to test the individual's understanding of the Great Dao, that is, his own understanding of the Great Dao. Yu Ming's qualifications are not bad, and with the help of my soul power, it will be no problem to pass smoothly!"

"As for the luck in the third level, I don't know how to test the Zi Yao Imperial Palace, but the same thing is said, with the blessing of my soul power, my luck should not be bad!"

Luck is an illusory thing, but Dongyang is still very optimistic about his luck, so he naturally believes that with the help of his soul power, Qiushan Yuming's luck will not be bad either.

Until noon, under the gaze of everyone, a faint ripples suddenly emerged among the mountains surrounded by clouds and mist, and then several figures walked out of them, including men and women, old and young, all wearing purple clothes.

Several people stopped in front of the applicants, and spoke loudly for the middle-aged man in his fifties and said, "My Zi Yao Imperial Palace has recruited new disciples once a century, thanks to you who come from all directions, have three levels of assessment, ten places, whether it is successful or not, it will be destined to be successful!"

"For those who fail, don't give up on themselves. There will still be a bright future in the future. For those who succeed, don't slack off. Becoming a disciple of the Zi Yao Imperial Palace cannot let you rise to the top. If you want to go further, you still have to rely on your own efforts!"

"Okay... Less gossip, the assessment will officially begin!"

After saying that, the middle-aged man had a misty crystal bead in his hand, and said: "The first level tests the degree of fit between everyone and the Great Dao. During the assessment, you will all enter an ethereal state. The earlier you wake up, the worse the fit with the Great Dao. This level only leaves the last 1,000 people who wake up, and the rest are eliminated!" [￥￥ iQi Literature    !#Fastest update]

Hundreds of thousands of people participated in this assessment, and only one thousand people were left in the first level, and more than 90% of them were eliminated.

"The first level of assessment begins!" After the words, a colorful halo appeared on the crystal beads in the middle-aged man's hand, dispersing like water waves, and finally covering all the people participating in the assessment in the field.

Immediately, these people who participated in the assessment, whether they were the Realm Master, or ordinary people with no power, the old man with white beards, or the toddlers, fell into complete silence under this colorful halo, and everyone's expression was so quiet, as if in a beautiful dream.

Among the crowd watching not far away, Dongyang looked calm. This level only tests a person's talent. Moreover, there are a thousand places. With Qiushan Yuming's talent, it is not difficult to succeed. In addition, Dongyang's soul power left in her soul to help, there will be no surprises.

Time has not passed, and there is not even a cup of tea. Among those who participated in the assessment, some people woke up from the ethereal, which also means that their talent is not good and that they are eliminated.

The first person is eliminated, like a ignited fuse, people keep awakening and leaving in disappointment.

In just half an hour, only one thousand people were left for hundreds of thousands of people participating in the assessment. Then, the middle-aged man put away the mist crystal beads in his hand, the colorful halo disappeared, and all the one thousand people who passed the level woke up, Qiushan Yuming was one of them.

"Congratulations on passing the first level!"

After hearing this result, these thousand people couldn't help but show joy. At least they were one step closer to success.

"The next step is the second level of assessment, which tests your understanding of the Great Dao. There are only one hundred winners!"

Immediately, the middle-aged man spread his palms again, and the misty crystal bead once again rippled colorful ripples, covering the thousand people.

"The situation is similar to the first level, but the result is the opposite. One hundred people who wake up first means success!"

Qiushan Yuming, among the thousands of people, had completely changed when the colorful halo was coming. She had already been in a void space, which was a space with various colors intertwined, as if she was in a colorful water flow.

"Are these all kinds of avenues?"

Just when Qiushan Yuming was surprised, a misty voice suddenly sounded: "What is Tao?"

"Um……"

Qiushan Yuming frowned. Such a question can be said to be a question that every practitioner has come into contact with. Different people have different answers. Even a person’s answers to this question are different in different realms, but no one knows what a standard answer is. Perhaps there has never been a standard answer for this question.

Because of this, Qiushan Yuming didn't know how to answer the answers, whether to answer those commonly used answers that seemed to be high-sounding, or what she really thought about, what was right and what was wrong. Because she was uncertain, she was a little hesitant.

But at this moment, a thought came from the depths of Qiushan Yuming's soul, which made her heart move secretly, so she blurted out: "I am the Tao!"

She received no answer to her words, but the colorful space around her disappeared inexplicably. In an instant, Qiushan Yuming realized that she had woken up and looked around in surprise. She found that everyone around was still immersed in another space.

"Yeah... it succeeded!" Qiushan Yuming cheered secretly in her heart, but she was still very calm on the surface.

"What is Tao?" Dongyang outside the examination room naturally knew the content of the second level of assessment. He just shook his head and smiled faintly.

Such a question seems to be able to see the person's view of the great way of heaven and earth from a person's answer, but this can only show the person's opinion at that time. As the state of mind changes and the state of mind changes, the answer will also change accordingly. What is Tao? Looking at everyone in the world, who can really know?

"I used to say that all things in the world are Tao. Now, if you look at the great way of heaven and earth again, all things in the world are still Tao, but I am also Tao!"

"Tao is me, I am Tao!" Dongyang murmured quietly. This is just his personal opinion. As for right or wrong, who can know?

Perhaps there is no difference between right and wrong on this issue, it just depends on the person.

A moment later, among the 1000 people participating in the second level of the assessment, the first hundred people woke up one after another, and the remaining people disappeared with the colorful halo, and these people also woke up at the same time and were expelled from the examination room.

"Congratulations on passing the second level, the remaining last level assessment, luck..."

"As a practitioner, talent and understanding are very important, but luck is equally important. On the road of cultivation, it determines how far a person can go. Talent, understanding, and luck are indispensable!"

After the middle-aged man waved his hand, a hundred fist-sized balls appeared in front of him, all of which looked exactly the same.

"There are one crystal beads in each of these hundred light balls, ninety are white and ten are purple. You can choose any one of them. The ten people who choose the purple crystal beads will be the final winner, that is, my new disciple of the Zi Yao Imperial Palace!"

"You can start!"

"One-tenth probability!"

One hundred people couldn't help but look at each other. Being able to pass two levels in a row is enough to show that the people who are still left behind are all geniuses. But the situation in front of them is not a question of whether genius or not, but pure luck. For this, who dares to say that their luck is really good?

Just when everyone was hesitating, Qiushan Yuming flew up first, came to the hundred light balls, glanced at them, and grabbed one directly. After the light balls were taken, the faint light dissipated, revealing a thumb-sized glass crystal bead.
