Chapter 272: Tea Eggs from the Underworld? The Most Challenging Heart Nature Trial for Xi Xi 【Seeking Monthly Votes】

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, as countless divine energies intertwined between heaven and earth, and a fierce wind rose, howling chaotically.

It was as if the sound of fluttering robes echoed endlessly.

Xi Xi's purple aura divinity cascaded like a hanging waterfall, and she wasn't concerned about the canceling effect of the jade staircase. After surpassing Gongshu Wentian, she became more and more eager and impatient.

She was eager to eat the small snack given by the boss.

She just wanted to quickly climb to the top of the jade staircase without any disturbance while eating.

There would be no more interruptions like the one caused by the purple-haired youth.

"Tea eggs!"

Xi Xi crushed the white flying thunder chess piece, and the item that the boss had given to Li Che to deliver to Xi Xi appeared in Xi Xi's plump palm.

Xi Xi held the tea egg, which was as big as her fist, and her big eyes shone with a glimmer of light.

Xi Xi was overjoyed! Just the scent of the tea eggs made her mouth water uncontrollably.

It was a unique fragrance, filled with a rich tea aroma and a perfectly brewed egg flavor! The eggshell was covered in cracks, allowing the tea-infused broth to fully permeate the ingredients.

Xi Xi's plump fingers began to pick at the eggshell.

She didn't notice that the discarded eggshell slowly dissolved on the ground, turning into flowing sand between her fingers.

Her eyes stared intently at the tea egg, as if she were staring at the world.

That's right...

This is how a foodie's world is.

It's very pure.

No speck of dust can enter their eyes.

The peeled tea egg looked like a delicate piece of porcelain, covered in cracks from the broken eggshell. The cracks spread out like ink lines, as if painted by a master of ink wash painting with a wolf-hair brush.

So beautiful...

Xi Xi opened her mouth wide with delight and took a bite.

Then, Xi Xi felt a burning gaze upon her.

She raised her head.

A gentle breeze blew, and smoke curled upwards.

It was as if someone had stepped out of a myth, standing before her with white hair, beard, and robes fluttering in the wind. He bent down and faced Xi Xi, who was squatting on the ground, having just taken a bite of the tea egg.

The gazes of the two, one large and one small, seemed to transcend time and space, colliding unexpectedly.

Xi Xi's eyes were sparkling with curiosity.

The Qian Yuan Divine Sect's founder, the Divine Crane, seemed to come to life, a smile on his face.

He looked at Xi Xi with admiration and indulgence.

He was amazed by Xi Xi's talent.

The purple aura divinity, like a hanging waterfall, was something he had never seen before, not even from that kid Lu Tai Bai...

Such talent was unmatched! Martial arts, divinity, divine armaments, divine talismans, divine cranes, divine pills...

Indeed.

This tea egg was made with countless medicinal ingredients and brewed with tea leaves, perfectly infusing the medicinal properties into the egg. It could be called a medicinal meal.

It had even more medicinal properties than ordinary divine pills! Xi Xi's talent in divine pills was almost instantly compensated for, and this tea egg also contained Dao essence...

All six aspects of divinity were perfected! A perfect hexagonal prodigy!

Cheating...

Could it be done like this?

The founder had truly opened his eyes! This little girl...

She was first in the talent trial!

Undoubtedly!

Anyone who dares to question it will be given a good beating by the founder! The founder's eyes were filled with admiration, love, and indulgence...

Xi Xi's big eyes showed a hint of nervousness.

It was as if she had been caught stealing food...

They stared at each other for about three breaths.

Then.

Xi Xi opened her mouth wide.

Roar.

She stuffed all the remaining tea eggs into her mouth and swallowed them in one go, her mouth bulging.

"I have it!"

"I have it!"

Xi Xi covered her mouth and said.

As if...

She was afraid the founder would snatch it away.

"Hahaha—"

Seeing this, the founder burst into laughter.

The shattered eggshell turned into a radiant light, swirling around him like a gust of wind.

He raised his hand and gently caressed Xi Xi's head. Instantly, invisible white energy waves surged from the founder's palm, enveloping Xi Xi's body like smoke.

Xi Xi chewed while feeling the cool white energy waves washing over her body.

Her eyes blinked curiously.

This white energy wave...

Why did it taste a bit like the snack the boss had given her? "This is the Dao essence pillar. You are first in the talent trial and have received a nine-foot Dao essence pillar..."

"The second in the talent trial will receive a three-foot Dao essence pillar, and the third will receive a one-foot Dao essence pillar. After that, no one will receive a Dao essence pillar."

"The three trials are over, and the final result of the height of the Dao essence pillars will be determined..."

"The one with the highest Dao essence pillar will receive the Dao essence gift, and the Dao essence of the others will be returned to the miniature heavenly realm."

The founder rubbed Xi Xi's head and said.

His words were not only directed at Xi Xi.

It was as if they were carried by the wind, spreading along the jade staircase, which resembled a dragon's spine, and reaching the ears of all the divine children who had stepped onto the jade staircase.

Upon hearing this, Xi Xi's eyes lit up.

She swallowed the tea egg with a gurgle, her eyes brightening as she wiped her mouth and stared at the founder.

"Grandpa Founder, what is Dao essence? Can it be eaten?"

Xi Xi asked earnestly.

Hearing this, the founder burst into laughter, and the entire miniature heavenly realm seemed to tremble slightly.

He didn't answer Xi Xi's question.

The founder's Divine Crane solidified again, his robes fluttering as he stared into the distance.

Xi Xi scratched her head, feeling a bit disappointed.

However, Xi Xi turned and walked to the top of the jade staircase.

She put her hands on her waist, her little belly protruding.

At this moment, Xi Xi couldn't help but want to laugh heartily.

Looking down at the many divine children below her, Xi Xi felt an overwhelming sense of grandeur, pushing aside all the divine children! At this moment, Xi Xi finally felt like she had become the Great Xi Xi!

Humming—

His eyes darkened as he was surpassed by the five-year-old Xi Xi, who had witnessed Xi Xi's purple aura divinity pillar. His heart... was in turmoil.

He stood on the edge of being shattered, struggling and wavering.

His body stood on the jade staircase, swaying unsteadily.

After a while, the Dao Essence light enveloped him, and the Dao Essence pillar reached a height of three feet, which somewhat comforted and gave Gongshu Wentian hope.

"It's not over yet... There are still two more examinations in the direct disciple assessment, the Mind Nature Examination and the Temple Guard Examination! In the first examination, the Talent Examination, I merely suffered a narrow defeat!"

Gongshu Wentian's Dao Heart, which was on the verge of shattering, suddenly fused together.

He hadn't lost yet.

His Dao Heart couldn't shatter prematurely!

Xuan Yue came in third, and she was jumping with joy, happily accepting a one-foot Dao Essence.

She looked at Xi Xi, standing at the pinnacle, bathed in the nine-foot Dao Essence pillar, shining like a rising sun, her eyes sparkling as if they held the stars and the sea she saw when she admired her idol.

"Wow—"

Indeed, as the little senior sister who was taken in as a disciple by Ancestor Grandmother, she was truly formidable!

On the white jade staircase.

Jin Taisui, who had been knocked back thousands of steps, had his purple hair wildly flailing in his madness, and his eyes were filled with anger.

He clenched his teeth, and his eyes turned slightly red.

It was not only because of the surge of anger but also because Xi Xi had obtained the nine-foot Dao Essence reward.

"This girl... This girl!"

"That Dao Essence should have been mine!"

Jin Taisui stood on the white jade staircase, roaring in anger, his fury palpable.

He had caught up to Xuan Yue, and he was about to surpass her, securing the second place, which guaranteed a Dao Essence reward!

But now...

It was gone! That little girl had actually used such a terrifying mechanism, catching him off guard and knocking him down thousands of steps, giving him a hard time!

"Why did I provoke her?"

Suddenly, a thought crossed Jin Taisui's mind, and he felt a twinge of regret.

He clenched his five fingers around the Purple Golden Bell, and the tinkling sound seemed to echo his mood, ringing incessantly.

"The Mind Nature Examination and the Temple Guard Examination..."

"This little girl is only five years old, and her mind nature definitely hasn't been professionally tempered!"

"Don't even mention the Temple Guard Examination. A five-year-old girl, what combat experience could she possibly have!"

"I still have a chance..."

"As long as I win the top spot in the remaining two examinations... I'll still have a chance to surpass this little girl!"

Jin Taisui took a deep breath, slowly exhaling to calm his agitated and restless heart.

After all, he had the bloodline of the Great Shaman God flowing in his veins...

This little girl...

With such an ordinary background, how could she possibly surpass him?

...

...

Crack, crack—

The pouring rain brewed and churned in the leaden clouds high up in the sky, then burst forth like a thousand arrows shooting from the cloud layer.

Spring thunder rumbled, and lightning flashed and intertwined, forming a vast blue net that enveloped the sky.

In front of the white jade archway.

Silence.

After a long silence, cheers suddenly erupted.

It was the area where Li Qingshan and the others were located.

Gong Yuanliang, Gong Yangxiu, Haichaosheng, Huang Sixiang, and the other spiritual children who had followed Xi Xi the Great Emperor from the Golden Light City to the Heavenly Origin Dao City, were thrilled, their faces flushed with excitement, cheering loudly! As the left and right hands of Xi Xi the Great Emperor, how could they not share in her glory when they witnessed her overwhelming dominance?

When the image of the sword energy reflected by the Great Grandmaster of Divine Energy, Tai Bai, had just appeared.

They had been on the verge of panic when Xi Xi was about to be defeated, as if the sky was about to collapse.

But now, as Xi Xi reached the pinnacle and even caused the Divine Crane Ancestor to open his eyes, granting her the nine-foot Dao Essence pillar as a reward, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They began to cheer joyfully! And among the cheering children, in the pouring rain, many of the onlookers who had gathered from the rivers and lakes couldn't help but join in the applause.

After all, the conflict between the Great Jing and the Great Li dynasties had been going on for quite some time.

When the divine children participating in the direct disciple assessment of the Great Jing Divine Sect were surpassed by a divine child from the Great Li dynasty, it was like a slap in the face to the Great Jing dynasty.

The onlookers from the rivers and lakes immediately elevated this contest to a matter of national pride.

As each divine child was surpassed, the onlookers fell silent, their hearts sinking, and the stifling sense of frustration was so intense that even the heavy spring rain couldn't wash it away.

The people from the various clans in the Heavenly Origin Dao City also frowned, feeling heavy-hearted.

S

How could he bear to see a divine child from the Great Li dynasty crush the divine children of the Great Jing dynasty with such arrogance and disdain? Even the elders of the Heavenly Origin Sect couldn't help but break into a sweat when they saw the situation within the miniature heavenly realm.

Fortunately...

Xi Xi the Great Emperor had appeared out of nowhere!

"Xi Xi the Great Emperor? Elder Li, your daughter... indeed has the bearing of a great emperor."

Second Elder Zhao Fangzhou sat in the Grand Scholar Chair, looking at Xi Xi, who had received the Dao Essence pillar from the Ancestor, and a relaxed expression appeared on his face. He couldn't help but tease, "What great emperor... it's just the little girl playing around."

Li Che's ink-black robe fluttered in the wind, and he smiled gently, "What great emperor... it's just the little girl playing around."

On the elders' platform, the elders' moods lightened, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

"For Xi Xi's talent to impress the Ancestor and open his eyes, it should have been quite difficult... It seems that the Sect Leader's Consort must have left something for Xi Xi."

Fourth Elder Ji Hexian spoke up.

He couldn't help but be surprised, not expecting Xi Xi to reach such heights.

Previously, he had even considered taking Xi Xi as his disciple.

However, despite this, he didn't have high hopes for Xi Xi's talent, mainly because of Li Che and Zhang Ya's ordinary backgrounds.

Li Che and Zhang Ya were both commoners from the small city of Flying Thunder City, and their cultivation talents weren't particularly high.

After all, the cultivation Li Che had displayed wasn't considered very strong, and as for Zhang Ya... it was even less impressive.

Even though Xi Xi had obtained the Temple Deity Heritage in the Golden Light City, in terms of talent... it was still difficult for her to surpass Gongshu Wentian, Xuan Yue, Jin Taisui, and the other divine children from the top powers in the world.

Among them, Gongshu Wentian, Xuan Yue, and Jin Taisui's Purple Aura Divine Energy Pillars were all likely to possess a ten-thousand-foot Purple Aura.

They even approached the height of Purple Aura Ascending Heaven! With such talent, for Xi Xi to win... she could only rely on external objects to make up for it.

Therefore, everyone believed that the Sect Leader's Consort must have learned something in advance from the Sect Leader's Divine and prepared something extraordinary.

Only then could Xi Xi soar in the Quantum Origin Pocket Universe and suppress Golden Taisui.

Reversing the Heavens and Earth!

"Dao Essence rewards... Although these Dao Essence pillars are probably the Earthly Dao Essence of the Ancestor's lingering Heavenly Origin Dao Essence, and they don't truly belong to these children yet, even if it's just a temporary reward from the Ancestor, the impact and improvement it will have on these children are enormous."

"Dao Essence will silently transform and refine their divine foundations and primordial spirits..."

"At the very least, during this Direct Transmission Examination, obtaining these Dao Essences and undergoing this purification will make their foundations more resilient and help them cultivate a more robust Divine Embryo foundation!"

An Elder of Divine Crane Ridge spoke with a sense of awe.

Dao Essence...

That's something only Divine Tribulation Realm cultivators could come into contact with. It's the essence condensed by a Divine Tribulation Realm expert after enduring countless tribulations.

"Normally, only the top three of the True Lineage Spectrum, Sage Lineage Spectrum, and Dragonlet Catalog would have the opportunity to gain insight into the Heavenly Origin Dao Essence..."

"But opportunities to directly receive Dao Essence and undergo such purification are extremely rare."

"After all, each purification consumes Dao Essence, and receiving Dao Essence is equivalent to depleting the sect's foundation. It's a rare opportunity that can't be sought after."

"The Patriarch is truly placing great importance on this Direct Transmission Examination."

"Such treatment is indeed worthy of the Young Sect Leader."

...

The elders exchanged glances, their words carrying a hint of awe, and Li Che finally understood the significance of this Direct Transmission Examination.

No wonder, when Golden Taisui quickly surpassed one Divine Child after another and approached Xuan Yue and Gongshu Wentian, the elders' expressions became increasingly grim.

If Golden Taisui were to surpass all the Divine Children of Great Jing and claim the top spot...

The impact would indeed be significant.

Li Che sat in his chair, his ink-black robe fluttering, and his gaze lifted to the scene where sword auras intertwined.

He saw Xi Xi sitting cross-legged at the pinnacle of the peak.

Gongshu Wentian, Xuan Yue, Yun E, Gu He, Lu Qing Xuan, and other Divine Children were seated below.

Her tiny figure at the summit of the Jade Staircase gave off an aura of dominance, suppressing everything.

Through the Flying Thunder Chess Pieces, Li Che could clearly sense the Dao Essence Pillar surging from the Grandmaster Divine Sculpture, purifying Xi Xi's Eight-Armed Three-Faced Hell Lotus Invincible Divine Foundation) within her Niwan Palace.

The Hell Lotus Symbol on her divine foundation became increasingly distinct, as if emitting a faint glow.

By purifying her divinity, Xi Xi's divine quality and rank were continuously improving.

It even enhanced Xi Xi's understanding of this divine energy cultivation method.

Within the Quantum Origin Pocket Universe, countless divine energies gathered and converged.

Around Xi Xi, the Dao Essence Pillar seemed to swirl like a vortex.

Of course.

At this moment, it wasn't just Xi Xi; the other Divine Children seated on the Jade Staircase were also absorbing the divine energy from the Quantum Origin Pocket Universe to cultivate rapidly.

The entire Quantum Origin Pocket Universe was essentially a large divine crystal, a very high-quality one at that, and it contained the power of Dao Essence due to being formed from the Ancestor's transformation.

Dao Essence... For these young cultivators, it was truly a mysterious and profound concept.

However, they didn't need to understand the intricacies of Dao Essence; they only needed to know that it could help purify their divine foundations and enhance their talents.

Cultivating within the Pocket Universe would accelerate their progress.

Therefore, at this moment, everyone was immersed in their cultivation, making the most of every second.

They were preparing for the third examination, the Temple Guard Examination.

As the name suggested, the Temple Guard Examination would test their practical combat abilities.

So, any additional strength gained within the Pocket Universe would be beneficial.

...

...

The rain poured down, and the torrential downpour gradually subsided, returning to a gentle drizzle.

Beneath the Jade Archway.

Droplets of crystal-clear water gathered beneath the archway, resembling hanging stalactites.

Li Che exhaled.

He felt a slight relief in his heart.

In the first examination, with Li Che's assistance and the boss's tea egg, Xi Xi managed to turn the tables and claim the top spot, earning the nine-foot Dao Essence Pillar reward after the Ancestor opened his eyes.

Li Che had been extremely anxious for his daughter.

In fact...

Without the aid of the Flying Thunder Chess Pieces to channel the powers of various Dao Fruits, Xi Xi's innate talent might not have been enough to make it into the top three.

Although Li Che had been using his Pure Heart Divinity to purify Xi Xi's physical body and enhance her talent, the process was slow and required time to show results.

Therefore, in terms of talent alone, while Xi Xi might have reached the level of a thousand-foot purple aura, she still fell short compared to Gongshu Wentian, Golden Taisui, and Xuan Yue, whose talents were on the verge of transcending the purple aura and reaching the heavens.

However, the Ancestor was evaluating their talent potential...

So Li Che held nothing back and went all out.

If you don't take risks, what's the difference between being a useless person and a salted fish? Li Che channeled the powers of the Dragon Elephant Vajra, Immortal Craft, Pure Heart Divinity, and Immortal in the Picture into Xi Xi's body through the Flying Thunder Chess Pieces.

Additionally, with the help of the snacks from the boss and Xi Xi's own collection of divine artifacts, she achieved a comprehensive talent boost, reaching the level of a perfect Hexagonal Warrior.

According to the rules described by the Ancestor, the Heart Nature Examination and Temple Guard Examination would also provide Dao Essence Pillar rewards based on performance.

Only the top three would receive Dao Essence Pillar rewards; the fourth place and below would get nothing.

The difficulty was indeed high, and while Xi Xi had secured the first place in the first examination, she still had to face the Heart Nature Examination and Temple Guard Examination.

"Heart Nature Examination..."

Li Che muttered, his brows furrowing with a hint of worry.

The Heart Nature Examination...

It would be the most challenging test for Xi Xi.

As for the final Temple Guard Examination, Li Che wasn't worried at all. With her full set of divine artifacts, Xi Xi would be in her element during that examination.

The Heart Nature Examination was the real challenge for Xi Xi.

But what exactly would the Heart Nature Examination test?

Li Che couldn't help but look up at Lu Tai Bai, who was seated in the Patriarch's position.

Lu Tai Bai's silver hair fluttered, and his fingers gently tapped the armrests of his chair.

Seemingly sensing Li Che's gaze, his eyes shifted, and within them, there seemed to be endless sharp sword lights swirling and transforming.

It was extremely dazzling.

Lu Tai Bai smiled gently and nodded.

Li Che was startled and also nodded in response.

Lu Tai Bai stood up, and in an instant, everyone's eyes landed on him.

With his hands behind his back, his white robe and silver hair fluttered as Lu Tai Bai exhaled, and his breath was like a sword.

The sword lights spun, and instantly echoed within the Quantum Origin Pocket Universe.

"After one hour, the Mind Nature Examination will begin."

All the divine children sitting cross-legged on the Jade Staircase opened their eyes.

Each of their eyes revealed a peculiar color.

At the same time.

The radiant light circulated, and within the Quantum Origin Pocket Universe, the divine children on the ten steps below the Jade Staircase all felt the flickering light before their eyes, and sword auras revolved around them. They were then sent out of the Pocket Universe.

They appeared on the Grand Plaza.

For a moment, their hearts were filled with mixed emotions, and they felt extremely disappointed.

They knew that in the first round of the examination, they had been eliminated, and they didn't even have the qualifications to participate in the subsequent examinations.

One by one, they returned to the Grand Plaza area, feeling lost and dispirited.

They had always considered themselves divine children, with exceptional talents praised by everyone in the states and noble families. But in this examination, they couldn't even make it to the stage.

They truly understood what it meant that there are always people better than you and there's always a higher level to strive for.

...

...

In the Heavenly Origin Dao City.

The Eight-Cornered, Multi-Eaved, Rain-Collecting Heaven Divination Bureau Treasure Pavilion.

Spring rain drizzled, gathering into thread-like rain columns at the corners of the black-tiled eaves.

Inspector General Hong Shifo looked at the sky gradually clearing and weakening the rain, and he smiled lightly.

Inside the pavilion, the Dao Master Yue Huanglong, sitting across the chessboard, narrowed his eyes, feeling quite surprised by the results of the first round's Talent Examination.

The appearance of Jin Taisui, a descendant of the Great Li Dynasty's Divine Witch God Bloodline, surprised him.

The fact that Yue Ling Hu almost came in last also caught him off guard.

But he was even more surprised that Li Nuan Xi managed to surpass Jin Taisui and claim the top spot, earning the Nine Foot Dao Essence Pillar.

"It seems... Xuan Qiasha has given this Mystic Script Sect disciple quite a few good things."

Yue Huanglong narrowed his eyes, his smile fading.

Inspector General Hong Shifo glanced at Yue Huanglong and shook his head, "No, on the contrary, Xuan Qiasha hasn't given this little girl any good things. Lu Tai Bai wouldn't allow it... Besides, Xuan Qiasha specializes in offensive divine talismans. What kind of talismans could she have that can enhance talent?"

A smile appeared on Yue Huanglong's plump and amiable face, "Could it be... that this little girl truly relied on her ordinary bloodline and talent to surpass Gongshu Wentian, Xuan Yue, and Jin Taisui, who possess the Ten Thousand Foot Purple Aura Divinity?"

The Inspector General shook his head.

"I don't believe it."

"But... I have no evidence."

"Since there's no evidence, we have no choice but to believe..."

"What kind of good things do you think could make your grandson Yue Ling Hu's talent surpass that of Xuan Yue, Gongshu Wentian, and Jin Taisui?"

The smile on Yue Huanglong's face instantly vanished.

Please don't ask such heart-wrenching questions.

"That tea egg... Did you notice it?"

Hong Shifo placed his hands on the railing and spoke softly.

"I suspect that within the Dao City, there's an unregistered Divine Embryo Great Deity."

"Lu Tai Bai is searching for him, I'm searching for him, and the Demon Hunter Pavilion's Pavilion Master is also searching for him..."

"But no one can find him."

"As mysterious as the Underworld, perhaps... this person is the founder of the Underworld and their greatest source of confidence."

Hong Shifo's plump and wobbling face instantly showed a mix of humor and laughter.

"Are you saying... that this Divine Embryo Great Deity boiled a tea egg, and that's what allowed this little girl's talent to surpass that of Gongshu Wentian, Xuan Yue, and Jin Taisui, who possess the bloodline of a Great Deity?"

However, Hong Shifo looked at him indifferently, "You cultivate the Martial Path, so it's normal if you can't sense it. Although the Heavenly Human Sensation is good, it's still inferior to the Heaven and Earth Soul of the Divine Embryo."

Yue Huanglong slowly stopped smiling.

His plump face trembled, and he narrowed his eyes, murmuring.

"A tea egg..."

...

...

What does the Mind Nature Examination test?

What can be used to test the mind nature of a five-year-old child?

"The Mind Nature Examination... is a test conducted within a divine nature-created illusion, to assess the choices one would make when faced with different situations."

The Divine Sculpture Ridge's Great Elder, Tang Xie Jia, seemed to sense Li Che's anxiety and explained.

"In fact, this examination, while called a Mind Nature Examination, is actually more about one's fundamental nature."

"A person's most basic nature."

"This original heart can vary from person to person. It could be the pursuit of the Dao, the act of protection, or the desire for slaughter..."

"As for the specific examination method, it's currently unknown. Each examination is different, and no one knows what kind of test the Patriarch has set up this time."

Tang Xie Jia said.

Li Che nodded and thanked Tang Xie Jia for his explanation.

Sitting in the chair, Li Che was no longer worried.

Because worrying wouldn't help, and in this Mind Nature Examination... he felt like he couldn't be of much help to Xi Xi.

If...

In the first round, the Talent Examination, there were no restrictions on rules or methods.

But in the second round, the Mind Nature Examination, all forms of assistance were prohibited.

This round was not favorable for Xi Xi.

At five years old, children are at an age of exploration, and their minds are not yet settled. How could it be easy for them to adhere to their original hearts?

Therefore, even if Xi Xi didn't achieve a good ranking in this round, Li Che didn't mind.

As long as she could recover in the third round, the Temple Sealing Examination, and bring the Dao Essence back to a reasonable level, that would be enough.

Dang!

The ancient divine bell rang, and the vast, invisible bell waves reverberated from the continuous mountain range deep within the Dao City.

The bell waves spread out.

Beneath the Jade Archway.

Jiao Shao Qiu wore an ancient robe, his sleeves fluttering in the wind.

"One hour has passed."

"The Mind Nature Examination begins!"

"Please, Patriarch, present the question."
