Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine points.
When the score appeared on the Honor Roll Stone, the entire area around the Honor Roll Stone became extremely quiet. It was as if a gust of wind had blown past, petrifying the bustling crowd.
It was truly a deathly silence. Even the sound of a pin dropping on the ground could be heard.
How is this possible!?
This was what everyone thought when they saw the score.
Everyone thought that they were seeing things, but no matter how they looked left and right, up and down, rubbing their eyes again and again, the score at the highest position on the Golden List Stone did not change at all.
Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine points. It was a score that surpassed the sum of the 99 geniuses below. It was a score that had never appeared in the history of the Blue Dragon College's Illusory Realm Trial. It was even theoretically impossible.
In the history of the Blue Dragon College's entrance exam, the highest score was only a few thousand points. The Illusory Realm Trial's score system had been calculated by countless sages, and it was even calculated that its limit was — 9,999 points.
In order to obtain this score, one had to theoretically dual cultivate immortal arts and divine abilities. Moreover, one had to gather the power of all the candidates in the illusory trial to achieve the perfect limit score.
In fact, this was impossible because the candidates who entered the Illusory Realm Trial came from all over the world and belonged to different factions and sects. Nobody had the qualifications to combine the theories of all the candidates into a rope and be willing to play a supporting role just for one candidate to ascend to the top.
Even the Blue Dragon King couldn't do this.
Moreover, the candidates who were almost completely annihilated in the second naval battle between the Mercury Islands and the Celestial Kingdom all agreed that the difficulty of the Illusory Realm Trial was undoubtedly the highest in the history of the Blue Dragon College. There were no shortcuts at all.
The terrifying mystical ability that destroyed the entire Celestial Kingdom's million-strong fleet wasn't something that the candidates could touch at all.
Even if someone as powerful as Xuanyuan Jianying, who was from the legendary generation like Qingqiu Jiuyue, could survive that attack, he definitely wouldn't be able to affect the outcome of the battle.
However, the truth was contrary to everyone's inference. This was because after the Celestial Kingdom's million-strong army was completely annihilated, the seven people of the legendary generation and the number one genius of the North Sea Domain were not eliminated. They continued to participate in the following battles.
What happened after the examinees who entered the Illusory Realm were almost all killed?
Zhu Huo, Qingqiu Jiuyue, and Netherworld Yellow Springs' scores were so strange that they were almost exactly the same. Little Liu's five thousand points that firmly suppressed the others, as well as Mei Xue's ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine points that were so terrifying that it seemed unrealistic, how did they come about?
There's a conspiracy, there must be a conspiracy!
"Boom!" All the candidates of Blue Dragon College and the surrounding crowd were in an uproar.
"Do you know what happened next?
Did the Celestial Kingdom win, or did the Mercury Isles successfully retaliate? Damn it, I didn't even get to witness such an unprecedented battle. "
This was the question that the examinees who were fortunate enough to join the Celestial Kingdom's million-strong army but unfortunately died under the attack of Mei Xue's Ice Phoenix Feather wanted to know the most.
They wanted to know more than anyone else what happened after the Celestial Kingdom's million-strong army was completely annihilated. They wanted to know what kind of fierce battle the seven people of the legendary generation had after that.
They didn't regret their scores, but they didn't get to witness the world-shaking battle. To the Various Seas Mountain Range, which was in a peaceful era, this was simply a new legend.
"Wait, I have some friendship with Gu Han. Let me go and ask."
"My family has some relations with Dao Wuyuan's family. I'll go and look for him."
As disciples of prestigious sects, they, who had suffered a crushing defeat in this Illusory Realm Trial, also wanted to know what happened after that.
It had to be said that even though the difficulty of this Illusory Realm Trial was unimaginably high, it was still a great adventure for these disciples of prestigious sects who lived like princes and lacked excitement.
The million-strong flag that blotted out the sky, the mysterious fleet that was as terrifying as a ghost, and the natural disaster that caused the world to change color and the sun and moon to lose their luster caused the blood of these disciples of prestigious sects to boil. They even had the urge to rush into the Illusory Realm again.
Not long after, a disciple of a prestigious sect who supported Gu Han got some information from the North Sea's number one genius who had survived until the final battle.
"I know. Gu Han said it himself. Qingqiu Jiuyue, Hades Yellow Springs, Zhu Huo, and Liu all betrayed the Celestial Kingdom and joined the Mercury Isles' camp. In the end, a hidden ultimate power appeared in the Mercury God's camp and directly destroyed the Celestial Kingdom's alliance. They successfully turned the tables. I guess that's how they got the first place. That's why they got such a high score."
"Ah, so they could betray the Celestial Kingdom's camp!"
"F * ck, I should have gone to the Mercury God's camp first. They died so miserably!"
"We were tricked by the teachers. It turns out that the Mercury God's camp is the real winner. How shameless!"
The disciples of prestigious sects who learned part of the truth looked at each other and regretted it so much that their intestines turned green.
The most unlucky ones among them probably didn't even have enough points to enter the Azure Dragon Academy. All of them wanted to preserve their strength so that they could shine during the surprise attack on the headquarters of the Mercury Islands. Unfortunately, they were all swept into another world by that snowstorm, losing everything they had. They wanted to cry but had no tears.
However, this was the rule of the Blue Dragon College's Illusory Realm Trial. You could use all means to increase your strength, but you couldn't return all the treasures and equipment you lost. It was the price for starting the Illusory Realm Trial.
Of course, you could enter empty-handed without any equipment as long as you had enough confidence in yourself.
Every Illusory Realm Trial was a bloody lesson. If you didn't die a few times in the Illusory Realm Trial, you wouldn't even be able to say that you participated in the exam of Blue Dragon College.
The strange thing was that even though it was such a cruel Illusory Realm Trial, the number of examinees participating in Blue Dragon College's Illusory Realm Trial didn't decrease. On the contrary, the number increased day by day. Some people didn't even think about entering Blue Dragon College and signed up just to participate in the Illusory Realm Trial every year.
The cruel war in the Illusory Realm Trial, the horror of life and death, and the difficulty of death that disregarded the strength of the examinees became the trademark of Blue Dragon College.
Just like now, even though many people were scared out of their wits by the cruelty of the Illusory Realm Trial, there were even more people who couldn't forget about this unprecedented trial.
"Tsk tsk, an army of a million fleets and a natural disaster attack. I heard that in the end, there was even an almighty who could travel through space. There was also a terrifying magical ability that allowed one to transform into a giant. It was really exciting and cool!
As expected of Blue Dragon College's Illusory Realm Trial. It was really godly this time. I'm convinced. "
"So the Mercury Islands are the real masters. I heard that the last chief priest of the Mercury God was extremely powerful. The natural disaster attack was one of his supreme magical abilities. No wonder the golden-haired, jade-faced nine-tailed fox princess and the saintess of the Netherworld Immortal Dao betrayed him. If I could live until then, I would definitely betray him too."
"Amazing, really amazing. This is really the background of the Immortals before they descended. It's too terrifying. That Mercury God is actually so powerful. I really want to see the true face of the Mercury God.
The next time this Illusory Realm Trial is held, I will betray him even if I have to die. Even if I have to swim, I will swim to the Mercury Islands! "
Cruel, bloody, and without any leeway. These were the characteristics of the Azure Dragon Academy's Illusory Realm Trial. There was no warmth, but it was also because of this that it attracted countless people to participate in this terrifying Illusory Realm Trial. Some people would even invest a large sum of money to create luxurious equipment, just so that they could survive longer in the Illusory Realm Trial and perform better.
As the examinees discussed and concluded excitedly, this Illusory Realm Trial named the "Mercury Calamity" became one of the most famous legendary Illusory Realm Trial in Blue Dragon College.
Every year, once the news of this Illusory Realm Trial was announced for the Blue Dragon College's entrance exam, countless people would immediately register to experience the legendary God-Slaying Battle.
With the strength of the examinees, there were very few who could survive until the Celestial Kingdom Alliance's surprise attack. The luckiest examinee only lasted until Tien Raffa's magnetic storm arrived. However, because of this, everyone knew that the final stage of the "Mercury Calamity" was a stage where two peerless powerhouses with unparalleled magical abilities would fight.
The last Chief Priest of the Mercury God — Senro.
The hidden mastermind of the Celestial Kingdom — Tien Raffa.
After personally witnessing the power of the ancient magical bloodline, the examinees who came later worshiped it even more and pursued the power of the bloodline magical ability. As a result, a brand-new magical ability storm was created in just a few years.
However, at this moment, no one had realized what the Illusory Realm Trial had brought to the Various Seas Mountain Range. The examinees were bustling with noise and excitement, but the teachers in charge of the Azure Dragon Region's Illusory Realm Trial were all gathered together, anxiously looking at the frightening score displayed by the Water Heaven Mirror.
"Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine points. What the hell did he do?"
Huang Long wiped the sweat off his forehead more than once. After being a mentor of Blue Dragon College for so many years, he never thought that he would see such a score one day.
Similar to what the outside world had deduced, although the score of the Water Sky Mirror's Illusory Realm Trial could be increased infinitely, there was actually an upper limit.
In some of the smaller Illusory Realms, 999 points was the full score. Even in a large-scale environment like the Seven Seas Battle for Hegemony, the upper limit was only 9,999 points.
That was based on the examinees' strength, luck, timing, location, and the ideal score. In reality, it had never been achieved.
In fact, the highest score in the Illusory Realm Trial of Blue Dragon College's entrance exam was only 4,000 points. It was set by the peerless Blue Dragon King.
Relying on his charisma, the Blue Dragon King not only survived until the end in the Illusory Realm Trial, but he also achieved the level of a feudal lord. It could be said that he performed perfectly.
But even so, he only got 4,000 points, which was not as good as Liu's 5,000 points, let alone Mei Xue's explosive 99,999 points.
All the mentors' eyes were focused on a white-haired old man. He was the user of the Water Sky Mirror and also the mentor in charge of the Illusory Realm Trial of Blue Dragon College. He was one of the Vice Deans of the Immortal Arts Academy and an Immortal Warlock with the title "Hidden Dragon."
"Don't rush me, don't rush me. It will be over soon."
Being watched by so many people, the prestigious Vice Deans of Hidden Dragon College also felt a lot of pressure. The Water Sky Mirror in his hand trembled slightly.
Fortunately, he, who specialized in illusion-type immortal techniques, finally found the record of Mei Xue's Illusory Realm Trial. This was a check after every Illusory Realm Trial to observe the experience of the examinees who performed well in the Illusory Realm Trial.
Generally speaking, this sort of post-event review would only begin at night. However, Mei Xue's score this time was simply too shocking. Hence, under the anxious gazes of all the teachers, the review that was supposed to begin at night had already begun.
Although the mentors of Blue Dragon College were old, they were more curious about Mei Xue's points than the examinees outside. This was because they had personally entered the Mercury Islands before the Illusory Realm Trial started this time.
However, the result that time was quite bleak. With Huang Long, who was in the Dharmakaya realm, as the core, they were discovered by several chief priests of the Mercury Islands. In the end, they were all killed by the girl called the Water God. None of them managed to escape.
The strength of the Water God was unanimously recognized by the mentors. She was definitely a Great Medium that surpassed the Dharmakaya Realm.
They were more curious than anyone else about how Mei Xue managed to get 99,999 points in the Illusory Realm Trial with such a Great Medium.
Not to mention the examinees, even the mentors who went in groups could not catch up to this score.
Then, the replay started.
In the void, there was an endless void. All the mentors were stunned as they looked at the endless darkness around them.
This wasn't right. Wouldn't the examinees who entered the Illusory Realm Trial arrive at the Celestial Kingdom?
What's wrong with this?
Fortunately, the people who could become the instructors of the Azure Dragon Academy weren't kids. They patiently waited, and waited.
Then, time passed. The surrounding scenery suddenly changed. It turned into a clear lake.
Here it comes!
Here it comes!
Here it comes!
All the mentors who were waiting were shocked. They stared at Mei Xue, who was immersed in the lake.
Under the burning gazes of all the mentors, Mei Xue fell asleep.
"Yeah, what's going on?"
"Why did she fall asleep? According to the time, the Celestial Kingdom should have already set off."
Looking at the curled up Mei Xue, who was sleeping in the lake, wrapped in countless silk threads, the mentors looked at each other. They couldn't make heads or tails of what was going on.
Due to the fact that the Aqua Heaven Mirror only had images and no sound, the mentors still didn't know where Mei Xue was and why she had fallen asleep again.
In this way, one day passed, two days passed, and three days passed in the Water Heaven Mirror.
Then, Mei Xue opened her eyes.
"She's awake!
She's awake! "
"Watch out! I have a premonition that something is happening!"
"Look, there are two doors. One seems to be the Celestial Kingdom's fleet. The other one …"
"Wait, is this Mei Xue?
Are you sure she is the right person? "
The mentors were all extremely excited as they watched Mei Xue, who had changed her appearance, take that fateful step, and walk out of that unfamiliar door.
The next moment, everyone saw Mei Xue walk into the Mercury Temple on the Mercury Islands. She walked into the center of the Mercury Temple.
Then, there was a part of the world that was blank. It seemed that the Aquasky Mirror didn't record what had happened in the center of the Mercury Temple.
When Mei Xue came out, she was already the Chief Priest of the God of Mercury, the Son of God named Senro, who was second only to one.
Then, the mentors from Blue Dragon College saw a real miracle. It was the Battle of the Seas that stunned them.
Mei Xue had defeated the million-strong fleet of the Tian Luo Holy Empire with only 13 ancient sailing battleships. The entire fleet of the Tian Luo Holy Empire was like her backyard, she could come and go as she pleased, she could kill her way in and out.
However, the most terrifying part was yet to come.
Mei Xue took out the Ice Phoenix Feather. The snowstorm that covered the heavens and the earth made the mentors' eyes almost pop out. That was the power of a Calamity Grade Super. Other than the Dharmakaya Priest Huang Long, none of them would be able to escape death.
Terrifying, too terrifying!
Is she still a candidate?
Why is she even more terrifying than the mentors from Blue Dragon College?
"No wonder she has 99,999 points. This is simply …" Looking at Mei Xue, who was standing alone in the world of ice and snow, more than one of the mentors' eyes lit up. Then, they quickly looked at their colleagues around them and revealed extremely vigilant gazes.
Obviously, Mei Xue's performance in the illusory trial had tempted all the mentors.
However, this wasn't the end. When the Celestial Kingdom Alliance appeared, the mentors were all petrified.
What did they see? What did they see?
Earth Vein Spiritual Connection!
Green Hell Traverse!
Three Thousand Peach Blossoms!
Light Chime!
Dark Seal!
All the mentors had never heard of ancient supernatural powers that appeared, reminding them that this wasn't the sea and mountains after the arrival of the immortals. This was the ancient era when the Celestial Arts didn't exist at all.
Looking at the earth-shattering and powerful supernatural powers, all the mentors were tempted. Even though it was just a soundless scene, they could feel the supreme power of those bloodline supernatural powers.
When the Yin Family Patriarch Zebra's true body appeared, it caused an even greater commotion.
They didn't recognize what kind of supernatural power it was, but the terrifying destructive power, the powerful life force that looked down on everything, and the black rock slabs and particles that danced in the air indicated that this supernatural power surpassed all the bloodline supernatural powers that had just appeared.
However, not long after, the scene where Mei Xue put on the Celestial Sacred Garment made everyone unable to believe their eyes.
What was that? What kind of supernatural power was that?
Even such a powerful incarnation supernatural power wasn't a match for Mei Xue after putting on the Celestial Sacred Garment.
In the end, Zebra fell, and Mei Xue was seriously injured.
The mentors finally relaxed. It seemed that this god-slaying battle was finally over.
"Phew!
This is so exciting. I didn't know the Mercury God had such terrifying power. Is this the power of the ancient gods? "
"Tsk tsk, what kind of luck is this? She was chosen by the Mercury God right from the start, and she became the highest priest. If the other kids knew about this, they would probably die of anger."
Just as the mentors were commenting, the magnetic storm arrived as scheduled. Everyone's mouths were wide open, and they were speechless.
The Ninth Serenity Divine Thunder Whip appeared, and the lightning from the Ninth Heaven fell. The mentors were stunned, and they didn't say a word.
The Ninth Serenity Divine Thunder Sword appeared, and Mei Xue used the Seven Star Steps, following the trajectory of the starlight toward Tien Raffa and Zebra. The mentors stretched their necks, like ducks being pinched by the back of their necks, afraid to miss even a single scene.
The Big Dipper fell, and the Seven Stars fell.
The mentors gasped, and then everyone was silent for a long time.
"Clap, clap, clap!" No one knew who was the first to clap, but everyone started clapping.
This was a celebration for Blue Dragon College to have such a shocking genius, and it was also a celebration for being able to witness such a mystical illusion trial.
This illusion trial was destined to be unprecedented, and there was no doubt that Mei Xue's 99,999 points were well-deserved.
"Mei Xue, our college wants her!" In unison, all the colleges of Blue Dragon College started fighting for the ownership of Mei Xue.
