Hong Ling looked at his own reflection within the Century-round Meridian with a little surprise. A lot of people were constantly entering the mirror in an attempt to challenge it. At this moment, he had already fused with the Purple Dragon Medallion so he naturally wouldn't obtain another person's medallion. Thus, everyone was very relaxed as they entered. However, other than Zhihuo and Lian Chengyu being able to hold on for a relatively short period of time, no one else was able to hold on for more than a few rounds. In the end, among the five people who could stay, other than Hong Ling, Lian Chengyu, Zhihuo, and Huang Tao, there was also an unknown little girl called Qiu Yu.

Qiu Yu wore a light blue long skirt and her innate talent had also reached the seventh level. She was the last cultivator to come to the City Lord's Mansion, and by that time, everyone would have already begun plundering the purple gold sacred order. Still, she was a stunning sight to behold. In no time at all, ten purple tokens had been gathered. Hong Ling had seen Fang Qian test her talent before, her dark purple color was not any weaker than Lian Chengyu's or Zhihuo's. As such, Huang Tao was now at the bottom. In this session of Heaven Assembly, for five cultivators with the talent of the seventh stage to participate, it could already be considered the best in history.

Fang Qian saw the five of them condensing the purple gold dragon token, and nodded in satisfaction. The cultivators that were selected this time all had a minimum of seven levels of talent, and they even had a Hong Ling who had surpassed seven levels, which did not disappoint him.

”Alright, since you have all condensed the purple gold dragon medallion, then you all have the chance to enter my, Jixia Academy's, trial. Of course, if you guys are not willing, I, Jixia Academy will not force you. ” Fang Qian casually said, ”Oh right, if you want to enter Jixia Academy, you must pass through the Shiwan Mountain this time. Of course, because of the purple gold dragon order, the third stage and the third stage and above Demonic Beast will not make a move against you. As long as you do not provoke them, you will have the chance to successfully pass through the Shiwan Mountain. After passing through the Shiwan Mountain, find the path to Jixia Academy, and successfully reach the Academy. You will have the qualifications to participate in my Jixia Academy's trial! ”

”Overstep the Shiwan Mountain!” Within the Shiwan Mountain, there were not only Demonic Beast s. According to the rumors, there were also some foreign races and some forbidden existences from the legends. Even the most powerful of Chosen would not dare to provoke such a taboo. Even if they were lucky enough to pass through Shiwan Mountain, they would still have to face some other things, such as the provocations of other cultivators from other cities, which had happened before in the past Heaven Assembly. The distance between the Shiwan Mountain and the Great Chu's capital was over a hundred thousand miles. Most likely, when they actually stepped out of there, they would not even have the time to participate in the trial.

”Senior Fang, if you want to enter Jixia Academy, do you have to go past the Shiwan Mountain?” Qiu Yu asked with his eyes wide open.

Fang Qian nodded his head, and said: ”This is a rule that I, Jixia Academy, have set down, even if it is people from other cities, they cannot change it. Some Heaven's Pride from cities far away from the Shiwan Mountain would only be recognized if they wanted to enter, even if they wanted to, Jixia Academy, to participate in the trial. Because our past rankings were really too weak, my Jixia Academy had already eased the condition greatly! ”

”Senior, you mentioned other cities just now. Could it be that, other than my Tianhuang City, there are also people from other cities who will enter the academy to participate in the trial?” Lian Chengyu seemed to have grabbed onto something as he asked.

”That's right, this time Jixia Academy is basically opening the Martial Arts Library to the outside world. Furthermore, he will have a teacher specially instructing you cultivators, and will not force you to join the academy. For many people, this was a rare opportunity. Although some of the legendary Unique Aristocrat might not care about it, there would still be people willing to enter the Academy. After all, many people want something that's free of charge! ” Fang Qian laughed bitterly. He couldn't understand either, why would the academy make such a ridiculous decision. It was almost a strenuous gesture, and it was incomprehensible.

”Senior, does the academy specify the time to arrive at the imperial capital? If we don't arrive on time, what will happen?” Zhihuo followed up and asked.

”The academy doesn't have a specific time limit. You just need to hurry to the imperial capital before Heaven Assembly is held. Even if it was the same day. During the duration of Heaven Assembly competition, the Martial Arts Building will be open to you as usual. Therefore, whether or not you choose to enter the Shiwan Mountain is your choice. Of course, those who choose to leave will not be provided by the academy! ” Fang Qian paused for a moment, and said.

”Senior, I am willing to cross Shiwan Mountain!” Hong Ling stood up and said with determination. Right now, he had no way out. For the past ten or so years, there had been no news at all from his parents. He was very afraid that he would lose any clues about them. Jixia Academy was his only hope at the moment.

To be fair, with his talent, even if he did not pass through the Shiwan Mountain, he would directly head to the imperial city. As long as he made a request, even Jixia Academy would not refuse. But why was he so stubborn?

”Oh?” Fang Qian looked at him with a profound look, her eyes were filled with praise, ”Good, to have made such a decision, it seems that the fact that you could grow to such a state in such a short period of time, is not completely unreasonable!”

Lian Chenglie looked at the youth, and his eyes were filled with satisfaction. He then looked at Lian Chengyu and Zhihuo, and the anticipation in his eyes became obvious. Sure enough, Lian Chengyu and Zhihuo made their decision in an instant.

”Senior, Lian Chengyu is willing to cross Shiwan Mountain!”

”Senior, Zhihuo is willing to cross Shiwan Mountain!”

”I'll go too!” Qiu Yu said with his eyes wide open.

Huang Tao looked at the four people who were expressing their stance and gritted his teeth.
