[You are surprised to discover that the newcomer is Bing Ningyue.
Instinctively, you want to greet her, but you remember that you don’t seem to have any relationship with her. You only know of her as your Tao Companion from a past life in your memory.]
[In the end, you give a bitter smile, choose not to greet her, and walk away. Cai Yonglong notices your unusual behavior and curiously asks if you know her. You nod your head and then shake it, not saying much.]
[Bing Ningyue also notices your presence and pays attention to your changing expression. However, after frowning and realizing that she doesn’t know you at all, she puts you out of her mind.]
[Half a month later, the Hundred Dynasties War officially begins. The first round of the Hundred Dynasties War takes place in the Illusionary Dream
Space. Illusionary Dream Space is a space formed by an illusion-type Array Plate of the Heavenly Sword Divine Land, which can create various realistic scenes.]
[In the first round of the competition, only those who obtain one hundred Illusionary Dream Points in the first floor of the Illusionary Dream Space are qualified to enter the second floor and pass the first round.]
[After entering the first floor of the Trial Tower’s Illusionary Dream Space, you are surrounded by many Profound Elixir Realm monster beasts of the same realm. Killing one monster beast will earn you an Illusionary Dream Point. Your heart is heavy, having gained a clear understanding of the trials held by the Heavenly Sword Divine Land. This is just the first round, yet it is enough to eliminate those fake geniuses with weak Same Realm Battle Power.]
[After all, some geniuses rely on Elixirs to reach the Profound Elixir Realm. They have impressive cultivation but a shallow foundation, making their battle power weak and pitiful.]
[You engage in the first battle in the Illusionary Dream Space with many same realm Profound Elixir Realm monster beasts. Although you haven’t comprehended Divine Skills and haven’t cultivated the Divine Skills created by your predecessors, your Cultivation Skill is of a high grade. Moreover, with your Ist-tier Profound Elixir, your battle power can be considered strong within the same realm.]
[Thus, even though you have to exert a lot of effort, you still manage to pass the first floor with relative ease and successfully enter the second floor. After passing the first round of the assessment, your name appears on the massive stone tablet next to the Heavenly Sword Divine Land Trial Toxuver, along with your rank. You enter the second-floor assessment space ranked 1,500th.]
[Cai Yonglong is astonished to see how powerful you are, managing to squeeze into the top 1,500. At the same time, he also spots Ling Xue’s name.
Ling Xue ranks 900th, much higher than you.]
[What amazes Cai Yonglong even more is Ye Canghai, the alias of Ye Chen, who enters the second round in the first place, closely followed by Ji Bingyue.]
[Upon arriving at the second floor, you notice a change in space. You appear in a space with a diameter of a hundred miles. In this space, the other twenty-nine participants gradually emerge. At the same time, you learn the rules. You must kill the other participants, and the last three survivors will advance to the third round.]
[Your heart grows heavy as you realize that the second round has already started a battle royale, seemingly not worried about missing out on true geniuses. However, you think you might be overreacting. Real powerhouses would never fail to secure a spot in this kind of melee.]
[Even if they are killed due to their youth, as long as they perform exceptionally, the Heavenly Sword Divine Land might still accept them as disciples. Not to mention, there is always the opportunity to participate in the next Hundred Dynasties War.]
[Next, the chaotic battle begins. A 3rd-tier Profound Elixir Realm genius sees you as an easy target due to your low cultivation and launches a direct attack. You show no fear and engage in fierce combat with them. Employing various methods, you manage to defeat them.]
[Your battle prowess leaves the other competitors somewhat surprised, making them aware that you are no easy target. But by the second round, none of the contenders are weak, so they are not afraid of you either.]
[A large-scale melee ensues, and you find yourself in a challenging battle.
Fortunately, you encounter none of the genius fighters with top 3-tier
Profound Elixirs within this space. Participants in the Hundred Dynasties War have to be under 150 years old and have reached the Profound Elixir Realm to be eligible.]
[After all, for Profound Elixir Realm cultivators, their lifespan is a thousand years. At 150 years old, they are equivalent to 15 years old for ordinary people, still considered young geniuses.]
[As a result, there are many geniuses participating in the Hundred Dynasties War. While some might not have high natural talent, only forming a middle-three-tier Profound Elixir, they have accumulated more experience over time. In the space where you find yourself, there are people with a cultivation of at least the 4th Tier of Profound Elixir Realm.]
[Reaching the 4th Tier Profound Elixir Realm is considered the mid-stage of the Profound Elixir Realm. Even if they only possess a middle 3-tier Profound Elixir and haven’t cultivated any predecessor’s Divine Skills, their battle power is not to be underestimated.]
[Your cultivation is only at the Ist-tier Profound Elixir Realm, but your Ist-tier Profound Elixir gives you the ability to challenge geniuses of higher realms. However, you cannot overcome too many realms. The struggle is exceptionally difficult for you.]
[In the end, you employ every method you know, barely surviving the melee, and secure a spot in the top three, advancing to the third round. However, even as you enter the third round, you understand that you might reach your limit here.]
[The advantage of Profound Elixir Tier is significant in the second round but diminishes in the third round. At this stage, there are no weak opponents. They either have high cultivation or are extremely powerful. You find it hard to deal with them..]
