Chapter 600: Chapter 283: Soul Hall Xia Quan, Sky Pillar Si Xuan
Jin Ling Fang, located in the Fourth Immortal Court of Qin City, is the place to sign up for the Supreme Order token assessment.
On his way there, he took the Daqin Government’s Immortal Boat, which led right beneath the Supreme Pavilion. Han Yi bought a seat on the boat, traveling from the Eighth Immortal Court to the Fourth Immortal Court.
On this journey, there were no accidents, and he did not deliberately conceal his realm or disguise himself. In Qin City, he assumed no one would recognize him.
Moreover, he intended to participate in the Supreme Order token competition, which would inevitably subject him to scrutiny by several Spirit Transformation Experts, and even the Daqin Emperor. Disguising himself would be redundant.
In the center of Jin Ling Fang, there was a thirty-three-story tower called Jin Ling Tower, where the registration for the assessment happened.
Han Yi entered the Jin Ling Tower to sign up for the assessment.
What surprised Han Yi about the cultivator handling the registration was that he was a True Monarch expert—a cultivator from the Ancestral Law Mansion.
Daqian is divided into six parts, and Daqin is divided into Nine Mansions.
The Ancestral Law Mansion was one of the nine mansions of Daqin.
The Ancestral Law Mansion had always been solely responsible for organizing the Supreme Order token assessment in the past.
When Han Yi registered, the True Monarch cultivator asked him twice, according to the rules, to confirm that Han Yi was participating alone without any accompanying cultivators.
However, the cultivator only asked as a routine and showed no surprise.
Although the competition allowed participants to bring three assisting cultivators—a total of four people—those who met the criteria could be awarded the Supreme Order. There was no rule against participants going solo.
Cases like Han Yi were not uncommon, where participants wanted to use the assessment to hone their cultivation.
However, since the Supreme Order assessment began eight hundred years ago, no cultivator apart from the official government cultivators had ever ranked in the top three without bringing assisting cultivators.
Thus, Han Yi’s registration did not cause much of a stir.
At this moment, there were numerous Golden Core cultivators, especially late-stage Golden Core and Golden Core Peak cultivators, gathered within Jin Ling Fang.
Only during the battle against the evil chaos in the Eastern Sea had Han Yi seen more late-stage Golden Core and Golden Core Peak cultivators than at Jin Ling Fang.
After registering in Jin Ling Tower and providing his information, Han Yi received a jade token.
It was a faint golden jade token, on which no other carved symbols could be seen. Its smooth surface was reminiscent of the Two Realms Jade from Searching for Immortals in the Void.
If one ignored the color and only looked at the shape, the jade token was identical to the Two Realms Jade.
“This is the Supreme Jade. With this jade token, as long as you stay within the Fourth Immortal Court, you can be teleported to the assessment Cave Heaven on the day of the Supreme Order token competition.”
“Fellow daoist, you must keep it close to you and not put it in your Qiankun Ring, lest it fail to receive the assessment start signal.”
“The assessment will take place in about a month.”
After hearing the reception True Monarch’s explanation, Han Yi understood that the Supreme Jade was probably made in imitation of the Two Realms Jade. The teleportation principle should not be too different; however, the Two Realms Jade could take him to the Two Realms Mountain and was much more powerful as it enabled inter-realm teleportation.
He put away the Supreme Jade.
Then, with a cupped fist salute, he thanked the receptionist and walked out of the Jin Ling Tower.
Outside the Jin Ling Tower, his eyes landed on groups and solitary Golden Core cultivators.
The Supreme Pavilion assessment was a good opportunity for all the Golden Core cultivators in Daqin and even other Immortal Countries to make a name for themselves, and they would not miss it.
Han Yi walked away, planning to find an Immortal Workshop or Cave Mansion to cultivate while waiting for the assessment to begin.
Suddenly, he stopped and looked sideways at a few cultivators about a hundred meters away. When he saw one of those cultivators, Han Yi’s inner heart was filled with coldness and murder.
Unexpectedly, he saw a familiar face, one who bore a deep grudge against Xuandan Sect: Feng Wusheng, the former sect master of Heavenly Soul Sect.
No, it could only be said that he was the former sect master of the Heavenly Soul Sect because it had been eradicated and no longer existed.
Back then, during the Xuandan Sect tragedy, Yuan Shun had broken through to the True Monarch Realm and killed the Blood God Sect Master, Jiang Yichuan. However, Feng Wusheng had escaped and eluded capture or detection by even the Black Divine Tower.
No news about Feng Wusheng had been heard until Yuan Shun disappeared.
Unexpectedly, Han Yi saw him again in Daqin Immortal City, far away from Daqian.
Moreover, after so many years, Feng Wusheng was no longer in the late-stage Golden Core Realm but had reached the Golden Core Peak.
However, Han Yi’s gaze fell on a young cultivator in front of Feng Wusheng. Dressed in a black robe, the young man had a handsome face, which, when seen by cultivators below Golden Core, became vague and indistinct the moment they looked away—extremely eerie.
Watching the young man, Han Yi’s eyes flashed with seriousness.
From Zhang Tu’s memories, he had previously seen this young cultivator.
Moreover, back in Great Yu Immortal City, Han Yi had heard of a conflict between the Jiuding Sect and Soul Hall. The root of the conflict was a Soul Slave named Soul Seed who had killed a Jiuding Sect genius and turned him into a Soul Slave.
The young man walking in front of Feng Wusheng, as it turned out, was the Soul Seed that had played a significant role in the battle between the two holy lands. With his cunning skills, he had turned the genius from Jiuding Sect into a Soul Slave.
Despite the involvement of many True Monarchs in the incident, he had survived and lived well, showing how terrifying his abilities were and shocking even Han Yi.
