The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 987: Chapter 987 General Director’s Instructions

Yong Ming indeed developed quite a curiosity about Jing Yan.

During the final moments of testing the Law Affinity, Jing Yan’s points surged continuously, even leaving him somewhat astounded.

So, as soon as Jing Yan was transmitted out from the realm space, his Divine Thought fell upon Jing Yan. He wanted to see what was peculiar about this young fellow who had just ascended from a low-class world.

”So young!” Quickly, Yong Ming recognized Jing Yan’s age wasn’t much.

”Hmm, his mental method seems quite peculiar; the ability to conceal cultivation is surprisingly strong?” Yong Ming spontaneously sensed Jing Yan’s Martial Arts Cultivation.

This sensing left him involuntarily showing a slightly surprised expression. With his capability, even most martial artists at the True God Level couldn’t conceal their realm in front of him. Yet, with this Jing Yan, his Divine Thought scanned and didn’t clearly discern Jing Yan’s genuine realm.

His heart stirred slightly, and Yong Ming swept Jing Yan with his Divine Thought once again, seriously this time.

The Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill is undeniably a robust mental method. However, Jing Yan’s realm is truly low; for a five-star Void God to conceal his realm cultivation in front of a top-tier True God, it’s evidently unlikely. If Jing Yan were to step into the True God Realm, then even a powerhouse like Yong Ming would likely find it hard to detect Jing Yan’s Martial Arts Realm.

”What... a five-star Void God?” After discerning Jing Yan’s Martial Arts Realm, Yong Ming’s eyebrows twitched.

What’s going on?

Wasn’t it said he had just ascended from a low-class world?

How could this freshly ascended native be at five-star Void God Level?

The Void Channels connecting the God Realm to countless low-class worlds are dangerous even for a one-star Void God, requiring utmost caution. A two-star Void God simply cannot pass through the Void Channel. So, how did Jing Yan, a five-star Void God, manage to traverse the Void Channel?

A five-star Void God would probably burst the Void Channel upon entering.

”Could it be, there’s an error in the registration data?” Yong Ming pondered internally.

This seemed to be the only possibility to explain things.

Elder Yongming could never have guessed that while Jing Yan did ascend into the God Realm as a one-star Void God, he had absorbed Chaos Qi in the God Realm to advance from a one-star to a five-star Void God.

”Once the selection ends, I’ll have to personally investigate. If this Jing Yan is fabricating, then there’s an issue with his character.” Yong Ming slightly shook his head.

”Congratulations, you’ve successfully passed the Law Affinity test phase. Ten thousand two hundred forty of you will enter the second phase, the single-round elimination phase. Now, you have an hour to prepare. After an hour, the elimination phase will immediately begin!” Yong Ming’s voice was clearly heard by everyone within the Mystic Temple of the World.

The martial artists participating in the selection examination were aware of the rules.

Passing the Law Affinity test is merely getting through the first hurdle. The upcoming elimination phase is equally brutal.

Out of the ten thousand two hundred forty participants, only a little over ten thousand will smoothly pass the examination and become a member of the Luo Jiu Divine Palace.

The total number of martial artists participating in the selection examination exceeded one million twenty thousand. The first hurdle already eliminated nine-tenths of them. The second hurdle will eliminate close to ninety thousand more.

The difficulty of the selection examination is thus evident.

The elder standing initially beside Yong Ming quietly stepped aside and used the Communication Crystal Stone to send out a message.

This elder was also a Supreme Elder of Luo Jiu Divine Palace, named Gai Chen.

The recipient of his message was none other than Ye Qin, the True Word Department Director in the Ninth Palace of Luo Jiu Divine Palace.

”Why are you messaging me? I’ve already said, I’m not interested in watching the selection examination.” Ye Qin responded promptly upon recognizing Gai Chen’s message.

Ye Qin and Gai Chen clearly had a very familiar relationship. Otherwise, Ye Qin wouldn’t have responded to Supreme Elder Gai Chen in such a tone.

Earlier, Gai Chen had tried to persuade Ye Qin to join him in watching the selection examination, but Ye Qin directly refused. He truly had no interest in the selection.

”It’s not to ask you to watch, but to inform you of some news.” Gai Chen messaged.

”What news?” Ye Qin responded with scant interest.

”I discovered a promising candidate; surely you’d want to recruit him into the Truth Department?” Gai Chen said.

”A promising candidate? Which selection examination hasn’t revealed a few promising candidates? The Chiefs below naturally handle such matters.” Ye Qin said indifferently.

The Luo Jiu Divine Palace’s selection examination is held every hundred years, with each iteration revealing many promising martial arts candidates. The Chiefs under the Truth Department naturally target these promising candidates for recruitment. Such a minor matter certainly doesn’t require him as the Director to worry; he trusts the Chiefs below will handle it well.

Isn’t the First Palace Truth Department developing well now? Generally, after each selection examination, it can absorb a few rather outstanding young martial artists into the Truth Department.

”Sigh, why don’t you understand? I specifically messaged you, not referring to those ordinary candidates. The person I’m referring to is Jing Yan, who has just ascended from a low-class world. Likely, the Chiefs below in the Truth Department haven’t discovered this highly talented young fellow yet.” Gai Chen smiled helplessly.

”Oh?” Ye Qin’s tone finally showed a hint of interest, ”Is the Law Affinity assessment over? What’s the score of this promising candidate you’re talking about?”

”Over forty thousand points, ranked fifth.” Gai Chen said.

Ye Qin’s gaze slightly intensified.

A Law Affinity assessment scoring over forty thousand points and ranking fifth is indeed impressive; calling him a genius is not overstated. Such a promising candidate should indeed be recruited into the Truth Department.

”How about it? This piece of information holds some value, right?” Gai Chen continued to say with a smile.

”Yes, it’s indeed noteworthy. I’ll arrange something.” Ye Qin said this and then cut off communication with Gai Chen.

He didn’t put away the Communication Crystal Stone but used it to send another message to someone else.

”Among the martial artists participating in this selection examination, there’s someone named Jing Yan who has just ascended from a low-class world. His talent is impressive; inform the Chiefs below to recruit this person into the Truth Department.” Ye Qin sent this message, then put away the Communication Crystal Stone.

To issue special instructions for a young fellow appearing in a selection examination is already rare indeed. Ye Qin naturally wouldn’t personally come to the First Palace or the site of the selection examination. He just needed to give instructions, and those below would naturally accomplish the task well.

”A message from the Director?” In the Eighth Palace, an elder wearing a brown robe sensed a message on his Communication Crystal Stone.

This elder in a brown robe was a Deacon of the Truth Department General Department, and held a considerably high status in the Truth Department, comparable to the Chief of the Seventh Palace Truth Department.
