Chapter 442 Shenzhou Gate Assessment
Chai Xin was following the disciple on duty towards the depths of the hall when he suddenly heard a voice behind him and stopped.

He turned back calmly and immediately saw a young Taoist priest with white clothes as white as snow and an extraordinary temperament.

"Didn't ask for advice?"

Chai Xin asked back softly.

The young man in white smiled slightly upon hearing this, as if he was ashamed: "It is I who was rude for not introducing myself first... I am Zhang Daochen, I am honored."

"So you are the famous First Holy Son, the first genius of Shenzhou Sect... I am so sorry for your disrespect!"

Chai Xin raised his eyebrows slightly, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he slowly raised his fists.

"I wonder what advice the First Saint has for you?"

"I don't deserve it. But I've recently heard of Junior Brother Xuan Huang's reputation, and I can't help but be fascinated. I'm really lucky to be able to see him today."

The smile on Zhang Daochen's face was particularly simple, as if everything he said came from the heart.

He was completely different from the crazy state he was in before in his palace.

At this time, quite a few people had gathered in the Assessment Hall.

Anyone who paid attention to Chai Xin knew that the sect would conduct an entrance examination for him today. Therefore, there were naturally many curious people who came to watch the fun.

Basically, there is no restriction on spectators in the various assessments of Shenzhoumen.

For some assessments involving important figures, there will even be magic projection to play the entire assessment process in the hall.

Any hall in Shenzhou Gate is not a simple "palace", but a world within it, a vast and boundless heaven and earth.

Therefore, even if all the disciples of Shenzhou Gate entered the same palace, they could still be fully accommodated. As for the palace appearance that appeared in Shenzhou Gate, it was just a tool to carry the inner world.

Many people in the hall originally came for Yi Zu's new disciple, but at this moment they could not help but be impressed by the demeanor displayed by Zhang Daochen.

Some female disciples in particular had lustful looks on their faces and did not hide their admiration at all.

"Senior Brother Zhang is truly a peerless beauty. I never thought he was still so humble and gentle. He is truly a rare and extraordinary man in this world!"

"That person must be Jiang Xuanhuang. He is quite handsome, but compared with Senior Brother Zhang, he still seems to be lacking something..."

"Of course. Senior Brother Zhang is a rare genius that our sect has seen once in hundreds of millions of years. Jiang Xuanhuang is just a lucky kid. How can he be compared with him?"

Judging from the many discussions around him, Zhang Daochen is indeed very popular in Shenzhoumen.

Although Chai Xin had been accepted as Yi Zu's last disciple, most of the Shenzhou Sect's disciples still favored Zhang Daochen.

"If you have nothing else to say, my Lord, I will take my leave. I have something important to attend to today."

Chai Xin didn't want to say too much meaningless nonsense to Zhang Daochen, so as soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and signaled the disciple on duty to continue leading the way without waiting for the other party's response.

Faced with Yi Zu's closed disciple, the disciple on duty certainly did not dare to be negligent and continued to move forward without hesitation.

The two of them turned into divine rainbows and disappeared into the depths of the hall in the blink of an eye.

Only Zhang Daochen was left standing quietly in the distance. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. The anger in his eyes flashed away, but his usual generous smile appeared on his face.

If one only looked at the look on his face as he looked towards the place where Chai Xin disappeared, many people would probably feel the appreciation and anticipation that was beyond words.

"This Jiang Xuanhuang is so rude! Senior Brother Zhang took the initiative to greet him, but he just walked away!"

"I can't help it. After all, he is Yi Zu's disciple. In my opinion, Senior Brother Zhang is too lenient. In this world, kind people are often bullied..."

"It doesn't matter. Jiang Xuanhuang is narrow-minded. Even with Master Yi as his teacher, it is difficult for him to reach the great path. Only someone as humble and generous as Senior Brother Zhang can go further."

After seeing what happened just now, many people felt sorry for Zhang Daochen, thinking that Chai Xin had behaved too arrogantly.

In contrast, even though Zhang Daochen was treated "arrogantly" by others, he remained calm and not impatient. He even maintained appreciation and expectations for that person, which naturally showed his extraordinary demeanor.

Of course, Chai Xin was completely unaware of these evaluations and opinions.

But given his personality, even if he heard it, he would just turn a deaf ear to it.

In his eyes, Zhang Daochen was just a passer-by and they would not have much in common.

Whether Zhang Daochen was hostile to him or admired him, it was just an insignificant matter compared to his own cultivation and strength.

If the other party is hostile, he only needs to defeat him with absolute strength; if the other party wants to make friends with him, it also depends on his future actions.

Those few polite words just now were meaningless.

Moreover, with Chai Xin's temperament and experience, he could easily sense an extremely awkward sense of disharmony from Zhang Daochen's words and actions.

"I'm afraid this person's daily image is very different from his true character. If that's the case, he will definitely regard me as a great enemy who has the hatred of stealing his master."

This was Chai Xin's initial assessment of Zhang Daochen when he left.

Just a few polite conversations, although Chai Xin could not judge a person's character, but it was enough to feel whether the other person was sincere or not.

Although Zhang Daochen spoke modestly just now, the arrogance and pride in his every move were evident to Chai Xin.

The contrast between words and behavior is enough for Chai Xin to make many judgments.

If Chai Xin didn't even have this kind of vision in judging people after practicing Taoism for so long, he would have died countless times.

"It seems that Zhao Yuan's guess is correct. There is a 99% chance that Zhang Daochen will be my opponent in this assessment. Otherwise, he wouldn't appear here by chance."

Chai Xin had already made a judgment, but he was still calm in his heart. To him, it didn't matter who the opponent was, he just had to win the battle.

"Jiang Xuanhuang, you are so arrogant that you dared to insult me ​​in public... When the assessment comes, I will make you kneel down and beg for mercy! I will let Yi Zu see clearly who is the number one genius in the Shenzhou Sect!"

Compared to Chai Xin's calmness, Zhang Daochen was much more emotional.

Ever since he started practicing, he has been praised by everyone as a peerless genius. Both the elders and the young disciples have shown great favor towards him.

In the entire sect, who doesn't praise and admire him when they meet him?
Even if there were some people who were dissatisfied with him, they would only look down on him, but no one would ignore him like that.

Without waiting for him to finish his words, she left on her own.

Such disregard and indifference are what Zhang Daochen finds most unbearable.

In fact, if an ordinary person treated him like this, with his self-confidence and arrogance, he would at most just laugh it off and not take it to heart.

But this person happened to be Chai Xin, a guy who, in his mind, took away the opportunity that should have belonged to him.

Ever since he heard that Yi Zu had accepted a penniless boy as his disciple, the anger that had been growing in Zhang Daochen's heart had reached its peak.

He secretly swore in his heart that he would make Chai Xin pay the price and would also make Yi Zu change his mind.

Under the guidance of the disciple on duty in the Assessment Hall, Chai Xin soon arrived at the depths of the small world, a wild land with ancient trees and lush greenery. "Brother Xuanhuang, this is Elder Qingxiao, who is responsible for monitoring the entire process of your entrance examination."

The disciple on duty cast his eyes towards a beautiful figure in the distance, bowed from a distance, and then stopped.

"I will take you here. Goodbye."

"Thank you, brother."

Chai Xin bowed slightly, then flashed and quickly came in front of Elder Qingxiao.

Elder Qingxiao is a female cultivator who appears to be in her thirties, with a gentle appearance and temperament.

"Jiang Xuanhuang greets Elder Qingxiao. I am here only for the entrance examination." Chai Xin clasped his fists slightly and spoke straight to the point.

Elder Qingxiao waved his hands when he heard this, and said with a smile: "You are a disciple of Master Yi, how can you call yourself a junior in front of me? If others hear this, I'm afraid they will point at me and curse at me."

If we really have to rank people based on seniority, then no one in the Shenzhou Sect today would dare to say that they are older than Yizu.

Even the current head of the sect, Emperor Yu, is a youngster among the youngsters in front of Yi Zu.

As disciples of Yi Zu, Chai Xin and others naturally have terrifyingly high seniority in the sect.

Although Elder Qingxiao's words were meant as a joke, they were also true.

"I will be monitoring your entrance examination, but I am not the real examiner. As for who will be the examiner, it will be revealed once you enter the trial ground."

After the joke, Elder Qingxiao's face quickly returned to seriousness.

"Jiang Xuanhuang, if you are ready, you can step into the formation ahead by yourself, and the test will begin immediately. Here is the test content..."

Before she finished her words, she flicked her fingers and a jade talisman floated towards Chai Xin.

"Thanks for the advice."

Chai Xin took the jade talisman and instantly read the information in it. After clasping his fists to express his gratitude, he stepped into the formation not far from Elder Qingxiao without hesitation.

This was a small teleportation formation. After Chai Xin stepped on the rune, his figure immediately disappeared.

"We are still in that mountain forest. The distance of this transmission should be less than a thousand miles."

Chai Xin looked at the environment around him, which had not changed much, and the shape of the spatial patterns, and quickly made a judgment.

At the same time, with the help of the jade talisman given by Elder Qingxiao, he immediately sensed the purpose of his trip.

The jade talisman not only told him the goal of this assessment, but was also an instrument to assist in the assessment.

The goal of this assessment is to obtain the final token.

The final location of the token can be accurately sensed at all times through the perception power of the jade talisman.

"According to the description of the jade talisman, the safest method should be to break through the gates one by one in order and finally reach the place where the token is. If you attack the place where the token is directly, you will be besieged by the gatekeepers of all the gates."

After reading the information in the jade talisman, Chai Xin took off into the air without any hesitation and headed straight for the place where the jade talisman was located.

It's not that he is too conceited. Even facing the siege of multiple gatekeepers, he is absolutely sure to pass the test.

The most fundamental reason is that he doesn't care whether the assessment can be successful.

His original idea of ​​infiltrating Shenzhou Gate was to use Zhou Ling's identity to cover up his increasing number of "hunting" actions.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful he is, after he takes action too many times, there is no guarantee that the strong men from various forces will not notice the clues.

But at this point, he already has the big boss Yi Zu to vouch for him, so even if his true identity is exposed, there will be no negative impact.

Therefore, it is not particularly necessary for him to become a disciple of Shenzhou Sect.

Anyway, Yi Zu had already said that whether or not to join Shenzhou Sect was entirely up to Chai Xin's own will. Even if the latter was unwilling to join, he would still be regarded as the last disciple.

According to Chai Xin's personality, he was willing to take part in the troublesome entrance examination of Shenzhou Gate out of respect for his master Yi Zu.

At the same time, he also wanted to use this assessment of Shenzhou Gate to test his own strength and see to what extent he had reached it.

As for passing the assessment and becoming a member of Shenzhou Gate, it was just a by-product.

Moreover, before this, Chai Xin had already learned from Zhao Yuan that the realm of the person who carried out the entry test would never be higher than that of the reference person.

The number of people who will carry out the assessment is not fixed, and the sect’s top leaders will decide based on the situation.

The largest number of disciples in history was said to be eighteen disciples of the same level who served as executors. However, no matter how many people there were, no one would be at a higher level than the reference.

In short, even if the reference person is a Golden Immortal, the cultivation level of the executor will not exceed that of the Golden Immortal.

Therefore, no matter what the specific strength of the person who executes Chai Xin's assessment is, his cultivation level will not exceed Yuanxian.

This is actually easy to understand. The Shenzhou Sect set up the entrance examination in order to recruit sufficiently talented disciples, not to deliberately harm people.

After all, those young people who are able to take part in the entrance examination are basically disciples or relatives of Shenzhoumen’s internal personnel.

In a sense, even if the reference person has not passed the assessment, he is still considered half of our own.

If the reference people were directly crushed by strong people of higher realms, wouldn't that be intentionally making their masters feel resentful towards the sect?
To test whether a genius is qualified to join a sect with his skills, it is sufficient to use the standard of how many monks of the same level he can fight against.

As for how talented the reference person is, it is not something that needs to be tested.

After all, the more talented a cultivator is, the more secrets and trump cards he has.

There is absolutely no need for a sect to squeeze out all the secrets and trump cards from all its members. Doing so will not only restrict their development but will also alienate them.

In this world, no one wants their secrets and trump cards to be exposed under any circumstances.

What's more, how can an exposed secret still be considered a secret?

Moreover, once most of the trump cards are exposed, they will lose their function as trump cards.

If the entrance examination puts too much pressure on these geniuses, it will only backfire and become the source of resentment among the geniuses.

Therefore, the rules and standards involved are particularly important.

Only with so many prerequisites can the entry examination be carried out, and in order to prevent uncontrollable accidents from happening during the examination, there will be an extremely powerful elder to monitor in real time.

Elder Qingxiao, who was in charge of monitoring Chai Xin's assessment this time, was not as weak as she looked.

That is a supreme saint!

The reason why she was asked to take charge was naturally because the top leaders of Shenzhou Gate made a careful calculation of the strength of the people participating in the assessment and the people who carried out the assessment before making the decision.
