In a simple stone hut, Li Hui sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes to meditate, suddenly his face moved slightly, and his eyes snapped open.

  "Fellow Taoists, it's time to set off for Meteorite Gorge."

  The voice of the Silver Vey who had arranged their accommodation yesterday came from outside the door.

  Li Hui immediately stood up and walked towards the door.

  At this time, all the masters who participated in the assessment had already walked out of their stone houses and stood in front of a small courtyard, where eight golden elixir masters were standing.

  Everyone quickly gathered in the courtyard and followed the eight Golden Dan cultivators to wait in front of the transmission array in the square.

  A moment later, a ripple appeared in the space of the square, and the figure of the white-robed old man emerged.

  "Participate in Shen's grand ceremony!" The eight Golden Elixir cultivators bowed in unison.

  "The old man in white robes scanned the crowd and said, 'Everyone is here, let's depart.' He then led the way to the transmission array at the center of the square, cast a spell, and disappeared in a flash of white light."

  The white light on the transmission array faded away after a while, apparently just finishing the transmission.

  Then those masters who participated in the assessment were led by eight Golden Dan masters and transmitted away in batches.

  Li Hui felt a wave of dizziness in his head and his body stumbled before he could steady himself, this feeling was just like the first time he used the teleportation array.

  He came back to his senses and looked around, the white-robed old man and dozens of cultivators who had been transported earlier were already waiting on the side, and hurriedly walked down from the transmission array.

  After standing still for a moment, Li Hui began to take in the surroundings.

  Underfoot was a square platform with hundreds of feet on each side, in the middle of which stood a huge transmission array. They had just come from this transmission array earlier.

  In the distance, there are stone houses and fortresses, and a hundred feet high wall surrounds the area. This place doesn't look like a city, but more like a military camp.

  "Whoosh!"

  A red light flashed by, and a Golden Elixir cultivator wearing crimson armor landed in front of the white-robed old man: "The messenger from the Fallen Immortal Valley, Red Wei, has arrived to attend Lord Shen's gathering."

  The old man in white robes nodded: "I came here with these new people to try out the Meteorite Valley, is Old Hu there?"

  Lin Zhen replied respectfully: "Governor Hu is waiting in the camp for Governor Shen to arrive."

  "You lead them on their way." The white-robed old man said as his figure flashed and disappeared.

  "Come with me." Lin Zhen suddenly rose into the air.

  Li Hui and others followed behind the eight Jindan cultivators, also riding their own spiritual instruments to fly forward.

  Below are some stone houses and forts, built on the undulating mountains, with a faintly visible prohibition wave above their heads, apparently this place is covered under a huge array.

  After a cup of tea and some kung fu, the group fell down outside a stone temple.

  "Eight fellow daoists, please follow me." Lin Zhen called out to the eight golden dan cultivators.

  "Wait here for now." The eight men gave some instructions to Li Hui and the others before following Lin Zhen into the stone hall.

  After a moment, Lin Zhen and the eight Golden Elixir cultivators walked out of the hall and stood on either side of the front of the hall.

  The white-robed old man, Shen Daren, had already been joined by another elderly man wearing a purple robe who walked out of the hall.

  The old man in purple robes had eyes as sharp as an eagle, and his body emitted a stern and murderous aura, and he was also a Yuan Ying cultivator!

  The old man in white robes said, "Just now I and Lord Hu have already organized and registered your information. As for the specific method of this assessment and things to pay attention to, let Lord Hu tell you."

  The old man in purple robes glanced around in a circle, and everyone felt a chill on their body, not daring to look straight into his eyes.

  The old man in the purple robe withdrew his gaze and said coldly, "You are now outside the Purple Wei City, ten thousand miles north of the Meteorite Valley. This is a territory for various demonic beasts. Only here, there is a branch of the Divine Wind Camp stationed, with an array of formations surrounding it, making it safe."

  Everyone's eyes widened, unable to conceal their astonishment.

  Li Hui's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly teleported ten thousand miles away, no wonder his body felt somewhat uncomfortable.

  The reactions of the crowd were within the old man's expectations, and his face remained unchanged as he continued to speak: "Since this place is called the Meteorite Valley, it is naturally extremely dangerous. Within a range of fifty miles outside the camp, there are monsters lurking everywhere, and in many places, there are even Golden Core stage monsters nesting. Further ahead, tens of thousands of miles away, there are even Nascent Soul stage monsters hiding."

  Everyone's face changed even more, referring to the demon beasts that had reached the Yuan Ying period and passed through the tribulation of transformation, changing their appearance.

  Everyone thought that if they came here for assessment, they would not let them go deep into this vast wilderness.

  "This assessment is to let you delve deep into this vast wilderness, and return here two months later." The old man in purple robes then spoke a phrase that made everyone's heart skip a beat.

  The crowd was slightly stirred, many people's faces were earthy, and they had already sprouted the idea of retreating.

  The old man in purple robes said calmly, "Let me make the rules of this assessment clear to you. If any of you feel afraid, you can give up now."

  "First, you must survive in this wilderness for two months and return alive. If anyone returns to the camp within two months, it will be considered a failure."

  "Secondly, you must hunt and kill as many demon beasts as possible within these two months, and bring back the materials obtained from the demon beasts to hand in within two months. Your achievements will be determined based on the materials you hand in, with higher-grade and larger quantities being considered superior."

  "Of course, the Divine Wind Camp won't collect these materials for nothing. If your final results meet the standards of the Divine Wind Camp and you become a Divine Wind Envoy, we will reward you accordingly based on the materials you submit, including spiritual artifacts, elixirs, and divine abilities. Those who ultimately fail to pass the assessment will be compensated with spirit stones by the Divine Wind Camp, or you can choose to take these materials back. However, please don't bring out those materials from the Qi Refining stage demonic beasts."

  "The basic rule is this: if you encounter danger in the marsh, you can quickly return to the camp, of course, that would also mean you failed. Let me remind you, the possibility of encountering a Golden Core stage demonic beast is also very high, and various ferocious beasts that live in groups are endless, the possibility of falling into danger and perishing is great, if someone does not want to participate in the assessment, they can withdraw now."

  The old man in purple robes looked coldly at these newcomers with terror on their faces.

  "This assessment is really too dangerous, I...I don't want to participate anymore."

  "I want out!"

  "I don't want to attend either!"

  ……

  One after another, voices declaring withdrawal sounded out, and five minutes later, more than a hundred people declared their withdrawal.

  Only Li Hui, Lou Suifeng and another old city guard from the seventh camp are left.

  Li Hui's heart skipped a beat as he recalled what Lü Yanzhao had said after Rì himself had expressed his intention to participate in the Divine Wind Camp assessment: "More than 60 people from the East City District participated, but only three passed."

  The assessment has not officially started yet, and nearly a hundred people have announced their withdrawal, leaving only about 200 people.

  These people came here after much trouble, but in the end they could only leave dejectedly. After all, cultivating immortality is for longevity, and this swamp is really too dangerous.

  "Is anyone else leaving?" The old man in purple robes asked coldly.

  Underneath was a sea of silence, and those who remained were all extremely confident in themselves, truly having a few divine methods.

  After a cup of tea, the old man in purple robes spoke calmly: "So the people who stayed behind will all have to take the assessment. If they can successfully join the Divine Wind Camp, they can choose one of the Xuan-level martial arts divine abilities from the Divine Wind Camp's Transmission Hall as a reward."

  Li Hui's heart moved, this summer state refining realm, the method of dividing the magic into "Tian, Di, Xuan, Huang" four levels, Tian level is the highest, Huang level is the lowest, but this lowest refers to the fact that most of the methods and magic do not enter the level. The Xuan level's method and magic are already considered high-level methods and magic.

  Down there, no big reaction was made about this. Those monks who quit didn't feel too regretful either. After all, it's a matter of life and death, and it's not certain whether they can get what they want even if they sacrifice their lives.

  "Lin Zhen, you go to headquarters and send these people back," said the old man in purple robes.

  Lin Zhen immediately led the hundred or so people towards the transmission array.

  Only the masters who decided to take the assessment remained on the spot. The purple-robed old man's face slightly softened, but still filled with a solemn expression, said: "The path of cultivation is against the heavens, and only those with great willpower and courage can succeed. The road to cultivation is also full of blood rain and fierce winds, filled with struggles. Those who have achieved the Great Dao, which one has not gone through countless hardships and crises? If it were possible to achieve the Great Dao simply by sitting in a spiritual vein, swallowing some elixirs, then even pigs could ascend to heaven. Without a firm dao heart, it is absolutely impossible to reach the end. This point you must remember."

  The old man in purple robes actually seriously pointed at these people.

  Li Hui recalled Yuan Huo's true person's point of view, which was basically consistent with that of the purple-robed old man. Only through countless trials and tribulations between life and death could one grow up and ultimately achieve the Great Way.

  Everyone remembered the words of the purple-robed old man in their hearts. The guidance of a Yuan Ying cultivator was not something that could be encountered often.
