Chapter 160 Assessment content, brutal fighting
Led by those beautiful maids, a group of monks boarded the huge flying boat.

The number of these monks is less than a hundred, only more than eighty.

This is because some of the cultivators on the Tiangang List, like Wang Changsheng, were hunted down and intercepted by others and were unable to arrive at Liaogu Immortal City on time.

There were also some who accidentally made it onto the Tiangang list two or three days before the assessment began because the cultivators ahead of them died, and were unable to make it to Liaogu Immortal City.

Some others were worried that the assessment content would be cruel, and felt that their cultivation strength was insufficient, so they did not come to participate.

Among these cultivators, nearly a quarter of them are false elixir cultivators, and the rest have almost all cultivated to the late stage of foundation building, with only a very small number of cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building.

Their cultivation was almost the strongest among the immortal cultivators in Zheng State, but when they arrived on the flying boat, they were still filled with tension.

Because this assessment will determine whether they can join the Huangquan Sect.

There is a wide square on the flying boat, with thirty-six arenas neatly arranged on the square.

After seeing these arenas, the monks began to speculate in their hearts.

"Are you trying to defend the ring?"

"This kind of assessment method is a lot easier."

"It looks like I should be able to pass the test this time."

Many monks who were confident in their own fighting abilities thought secretly in their hearts.

Especially the group of fake Dan monks, they were surprised to find that the number of this arena was more than the number of fake Dan monks on the Tiangang list.

In this way, as long as there is no problem with the drawing of lots, they all have a chance to pass the assessment.

You know, although the Fake Dan realm also belongs to the foundation-building stage, the magic power in the body of the Fake Dan cultivator is solidified, and the quality of the magic power has an absolute advantage over other foundation-building cultivators.

Normally, a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage does not have much chance of winning against a Fake Dan cultivator.

Unless the number of monks is large enough to directly pile up the fake elixir monks to death.

After all, a fake elixir cultivator is not a real elixir cultivator. Without cultivating a true elixir, he cannot draw on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. No matter how high the quality of his mana is, it will eventually be exhausted.

It is also not like when a Foundation Establishment cultivator faces a Qi Refining cultivator, he has spiritual consciousness in his body and can easily wipe out the Qi Refining cultivator who has no spiritual consciousness.

Except for the twenty or so fake elixir cultivators, the other foundation-building cultivators all looked grim at this time.

Those cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building had even prepared themselves for failure in the assessment.

As for the other cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage, they were praying silently, hoping that their luck would be good enough so that the Fake Dan cultivator would not be their turn.

In this way, there is a glimmer of hope of passing the assessment.

There was a depressing atmosphere in the air, and most of the monks were filled with stress.

From time to time, they looked at the thirty-six arenas, imagining themselves standing on them, their hearts filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

At this moment, four blood-red corpses suddenly came slowly carrying a gorgeous sedan chair.

Qi Zhicheng was half lying on the soft couch in the sedan chair, with an undisguised look of impatience on his face.

When the sedan stopped, Qi Zhicheng glanced indifferently at the monks who came to take the test.

The cultivators who were touched by the gaze of Qi Zhicheng, the Huangquan Sect's Jindan elder, felt an invisible pressure doubling.

His eyes were like sharp swords, seemingly able to pierce through their hearts, making everyone involuntarily feel awe.

Some of the monks who were swept by Qi Zhicheng's gaze lowered their heads, while others nervously avoided his sight.

Of course, among them, there were naturally some people who were not afraid at all. They also lowered their heads and avoided Qi Zhicheng's gaze.

They were worried that they had angered this Jindan Zhenren and that he would easily kill them.

Qi Zhicheng's gaze lingered on each person for a moment, then slowly moved away.

Whenever his eyes left a person, that person would breathe a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders.

The atmosphere in the entire square became more solemn.

Suddenly, Qi Zhicheng sneered.

"You are here to take the test with this level of cultivation?"

Hearing this, the cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building in the crowd felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

They looked at each other, embarrassed and frightened.

They originally thought that since the Huangquan assessment did not limit qualifications, age and cultivation, then they might have a chance.

But now, Qi Zhicheng's sneer and contemptuous words were like cold water poured over their heads, instantly extinguishing the fire of hope in their hearts.

However, Qi Zhicheng did not directly deprive them of the qualification to take the assessment.

He just smiled playfully and then looked away.

Afterwards, Qi Zhicheng said calmly: "The rules of this assessment are very simple. As long as you can defend the arena until the end of the assessment, you will pass the assessment."

"As for how many people compete for the ring, there are no restrictions on what means they use."

As his words fell, the atmosphere in the entire square changed instantly.

When the twenty or so fake alchemy cultivators heard this, they became a little alert.

Although the number of arenas is greater than the number of fake elixir cultivators, the rules of this assessment are so simple that there is no limit on the number of people competing for the arena.

Even if they are fake elixir cultivators, they would be in danger of death if they were besieged by a dozen late foundation-building cultivators.

More importantly, among the cultivators who can get their names on the Tiangang List, which one has weaker methods?

The strength of some of them is comparable to that of the fake elixir monks.

Qi Zhicheng doesn't care what people think.

After he announced the start of the assessment, he prepared to leave.

Suddenly, he thought of something, and with an idea, he stopped the bloody corpses carrying the sedan chair.

Qi Zhicheng looked back at the group of monks who were confronting each other and plotting secretly, and said with a smile.

"Oh, by the way, I haven't mentioned the end time of the assessment yet."

His words made everyone concentrate, afraid of missing any details.

"When the assessment ends depends on you." Qi Zhicheng said lightly.

"When there are only thirty-six monks left alive in the square, this assessment will come to an end."

As soon as these words were spoken, an uproar instantly arose among the monks.

All the cultivators understood that this assessment was not only a test of their cultivation, but also a battle of life and death.

"This..." A young man swallowed and spoke with difficulty, "Doesn't this mean that we should kill each other?"

"Humph, the path of cultivating immortals is to go against the will of heaven. If you don't even have this much awareness, what's the point of cultivating immortals?"

The other fake Dan monk sneered and shouted, then flashed and rushed towards the arena near him.

He landed on the stage, bowed to the other false alchemy cultivators, and said loudly: "My fellow cultivators, as false alchemy cultivators, we should help each other and avoid killing each other, so as not to let those juniors take advantage."

As soon as these words were spoken, many fake elixir cultivators secretly agreed in their hearts.

They all knew that in this assessment, as the group of cultivators with the highest cultivation, there was no need for them to kill each other and let others reap the benefits.

However, they are not like this person who said this directly and openly.

Otherwise, if it causes displeasure to those cultivators in the late foundation building stage, and they rush over and deal with it, that would not be a good thing.

At this time, the fake elixir cultivator turned to the other foundation-building cultivators and said loudly: "In addition to the fake elixir cultivators like us, there are still fourteen more arenas. Those arenas are given to you. But if you covet our arenas,"

A sharp light flashed in his eyes, "We, the fake Dan monks, can join forces to deal with all of you first."

These words made the atmosphere in the square even more tense.

The Foundation Establishment monks looked at each other in bewilderment. They knew that the Fake Dan monks were far more powerful than them. If these Fake Dan monks really joined forces, they would probably not be their opponents.

However, the rules of the test were there, and they had to do their best to fight for the ring. Even if it was just to survive, they had to do it.

As these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the square eased a little.

Those fake elixir monks occupied an arena one after another and looked at the other monks vigilantly.

The other foundation-building cultivators also seemed to have set their sights on the other fourteen empty arenas.

……

Ji Chang opened his eyes slightly at this time.

"This Huangquan test is really cruel."

"It seems that I will be able to pass the test safely only after I have reached the level of fake elixir cultivation."

"From this perspective, it's actually a good thing for Fellow Daoist Wang that he couldn't come to participate in the Huangquan test."

Ji Chang shook his head and sighed.

"However, some of these fake Dan cultivators who are taking the test will definitely not be so honest."

You know, some fake Dan families have multiple cultivators who can leave their names on the Tiangang List.

In addition to the fake elixir cultivators in the clan, there are also several cultivators in the late foundation building stage who can also be listed on the Tiangang list.

For example, the Mu family, in addition to the ancestor Jiadan, there was also a cultivator like Mu Zhongkuan who was in the late foundation building stage and his name was on the Tiangang list.

They would certainly not watch their own people die like this just because they could not pass the test.

Ji Chang predicted that by the time the time came, those weak and powerless foundation-building cultivators would be almost dead.

These monks from the fake Dan family will join forces to deal with other monks.

If you calculate it this way, the mere thirty-six arenas are not enough for them to divide.

By then, even a few fake elixir cultivators might die.

Sure enough, as time passed, in just two hours, more than twenty monks had died on the field.

Most of the cultivators in the late foundation building stage did not go to fight for the arena, but instead fought each other.

Anyway, the assessment will end when there are only thirty-six monks left alive.

At that time, as long as the monks can survive, they will pass the test.

In this way, there is no need to occupy the ring at all.

On the contrary, occupying the arena will attract the hatred of others and make it easy for them to focus their fire and kill you.

But at this time, there were also some foundation-building cultivators who were completely different.

Most of the cultivators from the Jiadan family gathered on one arena, relying on the strength of the Jiadan cultivators in the family to intimidate other foundation-building cultivators.

There are now seven major fake pill families in Zheng State's immortal cultivation world.

Among these seven fake dan families, only two of them have only one fake dan cultivator.

And on these stages, there are ten Jiadan monks from the Jiadan family.

Among them, three fake Dan families sent two fake Dan monks to participate in the Huangquan assessment.

Among these fake dan families, there are three fake dan families with fake dan-level priests who have obtained the qualification to participate in the Huangquan assessment.

In addition, there are two other fake elixir cultivators who are the Zhou family’s priests in the Jindan stage.

Although the Zhou family is a Jindan family, the cultivators in the family do not have to participate in the merit system used by the Huangquan Sect to promote the expansion of cultivators.

During the Huangquan assessment, no cultivators from the Zhou family appeared.

However, the Zhou family's fake elixir offerer is not considered a cultivator of the Zhou family, so he can naturally participate in the Huangquan assessment by leaving his name on the Tiangang list.

In addition to these fifteen fake dan cultivators, there are seven other fake dan cultivators. Some are fake dan casual cultivators, and some are from ordinary foundation-building families.

They all benefited from the Huangquan Sect's opening up of the Ten Thousand Mountains, and thus successfully advanced to the Fake Dan Realm.

At this time, the surviving foundation-building cultivators, looking at the situation on the field, gradually understood the plots of those fake pill families.

A bloodstained and charming female cultivator suddenly shouted loudly: "Everyone, please stop killing each other. Otherwise, even if you survive, you will be killed by the cultivators from the fake Dan family!"

Her voice echoed in the square, attracting the attention of many monks.

"You know, thirty-six arenas are not enough for these fake Dan families and fake Dan monks to share!"

The female monk continued to speak, and her words were like a heavy hammer, hitting every monk's heart.

Indeed, if they continue to kill each other like this, the Fake Dan family and the Fake Dan monks will be the ones who reap the benefits in the end.

And these weak and powerless foundation-building monks will eventually become their victims.

"We can't kill each other anymore!"

Another foundation-building monk shouted loudly, his voice full of determination and firmness.

"We should join forces to fight against those fake Dan families. Only in this way can we have a chance to survive!"

This voice instantly ignited the fighting spirit of many foundation-building monks, and they began to respond to the call and prepared to join forces.

As the foundation-building monks united, the situation on the field began to change.

They began to attack the arenas occupied by the fake Dan families in a planned manner.

These cultivators from the Jiadan family, seeing that the foundation-building cultivators began to unite to resist, also united and planned to eliminate them first in order to maintain their family's advantage in the assessment.

However, just as they were preparing to act, an unexpected situation occurred.

Other fake Dan monks also took action against the fake Dan family.

These fake dan cultivators naturally understood that when those weak foundation-building cultivators were almost all dead, they would be targeted by these cultivators from fake dan families.

Therefore, they decided to strike first and eliminate all the foundation-building cultivators from the fake dan family so that they could pass the assessment safely.

Thus, a fierce battle broke out in the square.

A complicated relationship has formed between the Jiadan family and the Jiadan monks, and between the foundation-building monks and the Jiadan monks.

All forces were fighting for their own interests, and the scene was once in chaos.

In this melee, many monks died, and the bloody atmosphere in the square became increasingly strong.

However, it was in such an environment that some weak foundation-building cultivators showed amazing strength.

"died?"

"The fake monk Dan is dead?"

"That's the ancestor of the Lan family!"

"He was killed by a foundation-building cultivator."

Everyone looked at the foundation-building cultivator who had killed the ancestor of the Lan family. He had a handsome face and was dressed in a tight suit. He looked capable and energetic.

He held a black spear in his hand, with a faint trace of blood on the tip of the spear.

There was a determined light flashing in the eyes of this foundation-building monk. Facing the gazes of the crowd, he did not show any fear or complacency, but remained calm and vigilant.

"He is just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but he can actually kill a Fake Dan cultivator?" someone exclaimed, his voice full of disbelief.

"This person is not simple, he actually has the strength of a fake pill."

In the square, the battle between the fake elixir cultivators and the foundation-building cultivators continued.

With the death of the first fake elixir cultivator, the second and third gradually appeared.

When night fell and the bright moon rose, there were only thirty-six monks left on the field.
