Early in the morning, the thin mist was like cotton candy. When one took a sniff, it carried a refreshing sweetness.
The Wanxiang Market was located in the forest like a big city. Meanwhile, the Wanxiang Pagoda was located three hundred miles away, between two mountain peaks. Today was the day of the monthly examination. Only by passing the examination would one be able to enter the number one sacred ground in the world, the Wanxiang Pagoda.
This could be said to be the dream of any cultivator in the world.
The cultivation manuals inside the Wanxiang Pagoda were the best in the world. There were ancient scrolls of the lowest level, low level, intermediate level, and high level manuals. There were also secret manuals, heavenly merit manuals, and many more.
Most of the cultivation manuals circulating in the Immortal Cultivation World were low-level cultivation manuals. Even some of the dominant Immortal Sects would at most have one or two middle-level cultivation manuals.
Only clans like the Feng Clan, who could be the king of a prefecture, would have incomplete high level manuals. Of course, if one wanted a complete high level manual, then they could only find it inside the Wanxiang Pagoda.
Of course, it was not that the cultivation world did not have secret manuals. For example, the Beiming Clan's number one cultivation manual, the Northern Profound Divine Art, was the first half of a secret manual.
Relying on this first half, the Beiming Clan could become one of the four great clans of the Jin Dynasty.
Almost every generation of heaven-defying geniuses from the Beiming Clan wanted to enter the Wanxiang Pagoda in order to cultivate the second half of the Northern Profound Divine Art. However, all of them had failed. In the Wanxiang Pagoda, only those with higher talents and stronger cultivation would be able to obtain better cultivation manuals.
As long as one was strong enough, they would be able to obtain all the treasures that they yearned for. This was a sacred ground that forever opened the door for the strong.
Because of the pagoda's special status, many young disciples from the top powers gathered here.
The entrance examination was held at the "Primal Beginning Tower".
The so-called Primal Beginning was the beginning of all things, the beginning of Wanxiang!
The Primal Beginning Pagoda was extremely majestic. It had a total of ninety-nine floors, and it was even taller than the Meteor Tower. It also towered into the clouds, faintly discernible. Spirit cranes flew about, and if one stood at the top of the Primal Beginning Pagoda, it would be like ascending to the highest heavens and descending upon the world of immortals.
By the time Feng Feiyun and the others arrived at the foot of the Primal Beginning Tower, there was already a sea of people there. One glance was all they could see, trembling human heads. There were at least tens of thousands of people there. Additionally, more cultivators were rushing over.
It could be said that thousands of men and horses were crossing a single-log bridge.
The huge white stone plaza below the Primordial Beginning Tower, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people, was about to explode.
There were countless stone tablets around the Primordial Beginning Pagoda.
"Martial Tower, training system!"
"Death Tower, assassin department!"
"Wizard's Pagoda, Wizard Techniques!"
"Pill Tower, Alchemy Department!"
"Wisdom Tower, Wisdom Master Department!"
"Dao Pagoda, Dao Cultivation Department!"
"Buddha Pagoda, cultivating Buddhism!"
"Arts Tower, Spirit Arts Department!"
…
There were dozens of stone tablets, each representing the examination locations of the ten sacred cultivation grounds. In front of each stone tablet was a teacher with a long queue behind them.
Only by passing the first examination from a teacher would one be qualified to enter the Primordial Beginning Tower for the second examination.
Only those who passed both examinations were qualified to enter the Wanxiang Pagoda for the third examination.
Ninety percent of them would be eliminated in the first examination.
Although there were many cultivators who came to participate in the examination, most of them were concentrated in the Martial Tower, Dao Tower, Death Tower, Arts Tower … These were the more popular sacred cultivation grounds.
It could be said that each tower was a school, a unique sacred cultivation ground.
Behind the stone tablet of the Martial Tower, there were nearly thirty thousand people lined up all the way to the horizon. These cultivators came from all over the world, and all of them were geniuses. However, after coming here, many of them couldn't even pass the first examination.
Although the Martial Tower's stone tablet had the most people, the elimination rate was also the fastest. The teacher slightly opened his eyes and looked at the long line of people, then he said: "Those who haven't reached peak Immortal Foundation are automatically eliminated?"
A series of disappointed sighs appeared. Nearly half of the young cultivators were automatically eliminated and turned around to leave, leaving behind lonely figures that disappeared before everyone's eyes.
The remaining people were secretly happy and felt a special sense of superiority.
The teacher from the Martial Tower spoke again: "Those who haven't reached early God Base by the age of twenty-five are automatically eliminated. Those who haven't reached peak God Base by the age of thirty are automatically eliminated. Those who haven't reached grand achievement God Base by the age of sixty are automatically eliminated."
The moment these words came out, the people who were secretly laughing suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.
The Wanxiang Pagoda only recruited true geniuses. Those who couldn't reach early God Base by the age of twenty-five were naturally not geniuses. Those who couldn't reach peak God Base by the age of thirty could only be considered mediocre. Grand achievement God Base was a threshold. It was normal to be unable to reach grand achievement God Base by the age of thirty or forty. However, if one couldn't reach grand achievement God Base by the age of sixty, then it could only mean that their potential had been exhausted. Without a great fortune, they wouldn't be able to reach grand achievement God Base again.
This condition was truly too harsh, so the majority of people left in dejection. The original group of thirty thousand people was reduced to less than one thousand in the blink of an eye. Now, the examination had truly begun.
Seeing this scene, Feng Feiyun couldn't help but nod his head. The rumors were indeed true. The Wanxiang Pagoda gathered the elites of the world with experts as many as the clouds. Hidden dragons and crouching tigers were as many as dogs.
An early God Base could become an elder in other places, but in this place, it was simply too ordinary.
"Boss, I'm afraid I have to split up."
Wang Meng's eyes were filled with excitement as he stared at the monolith of the Martial Tower. A powerful battle intent surged from his body.
The reason why Wang Meng came to the Wanxiang Pagoda with Feng Feiyun was because he wanted to cultivate at the Martial Tower. Geniuses from all over the world gathered at the Martial Tower. Only in such an environment would one's cultivation increase the most.
Constantly fighting, constantly training at the edge of life and death. In the end, he would be able to trample all of his opponents beneath his feet. Only then would he be able to reach the peak.
This was Wang Meng's lifelong dream.
Feng Feiyun seemed to already know that he wanted to leave, so he smiled and said: "Don't call me Boss. From start to finish, I have always treated you as a brother. According to our age, I should be calling you Boss."
Wang Meng's face suddenly became a bit red like a shy girl as he whispered: "The truth is, I am only thirteen years old this year, not yet an adult."
"Poof!"
Feng Feiyun wasn't the only one who almost tripped. Even Ji Xinnu and Ji Xiaonu, who were behind him, had their jaws wide open and almost dropped to the ground. They thought that they had misheard.
Wang Meng was at least two meters tall with a body as strong as an ox with bulging muscles. No matter how one looked at it, he was at least thirty or forty years old.
However, his serious expression didn't seem to be joking at all. He continued: "The truth is that I am from the Ancient Jiang tribe. Once we reach adulthood, we will generally be more than three meters tall. Some people develop too early and are already taller than me at the age of eight or nine. I am considered to be one of the underdeveloped ones."
Feng Feiyun suddenly became confused. Motherfucker, this guy can't really be thirteen years old, right?
A peak God Base at thirteen years old?
How could Feng Feiyun, who had reached early God Base at the age of fourteen, accept this?
