Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 1000: There Was Once a Chance Before Me
Although Mo Wuji himself knew that the low-grade divine artifacts he refined weren't considered very powerful, he was confident that he would not be eliminated. After all, he had studied the art of refining for many years. Compared to many who only knew how to cultivate, his halberd could definitely pass. For him, he didn't need to be in the top ranks, as long as he could enter the Nirvana Learning Academy, he would be successful.
When Mo Wuji sent his magical treasure into the teleportation vortex, just as he expected, another vortex gate appeared before him. Mo Wuji once again left his name and entered the next round of assessment.
One good thing about this type of assessment was that you didn't know the scores of others. In that case, as long as you weren't eliminated, there was hope.
……
On the Nirvana Dao City plaza, after the three rounds of assessments, among the cultivators with scores, Mo Wuji's name was once again ranked second.
The first place had become Ji Feiyan. After Mo Wuji's three rounds of assessments, his total score was only 242.5, while Ji Feiyan's total score had reached 249.
Mo Wuji's fall to second place meant that most eyes were still focused on Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was a rogue cultivator, while Ji Feiyan was a genius from Covering Star Mountain. No matter how good Ji Feiyan's score was, other sects couldn't benefit from him.
"The foundation of a rogue cultivator is still a bit lacking. He fell behind after three rounds of assessment. After the fourth round, I'm afraid he'll be outside the top ten."
"What do you mean lacking? You're comparing a rogue cultivator to Ji Feiyan from Covering Star Mountain? That 2705 was able to surpass Ji Feiyan in the first round and rank first after two rounds. He's already considered a top-tier genius. As long as that rogue cultivator isn't eliminated later, he will definitely enter the Nirvana Learning Academy."
"Hehe, the fourth round is Pill Dao. Have you heard of any rogue cultivator who is strong in Pill Dao? How many rogue cultivators have the ability to learn Pill Dao?"
"Why not? Qingyi Divine Pill King was a rogue cultivator back in the day. He was not only a Divine King but also a Divine Pill King."
"You're comparing him to Qingyi Divine Pill King? There is only one Qingyi Divine Pill King in the Divine Continent, and Qingyi Divine Pill King wasn't at the Raising God stage when he became famous."
……
Compared to these idle chatting cultivators, those large sects were more concerned about the rogue cultivator 2705. Everyone knew very well that if a rogue cultivator really entered the top ten of the Nirvana Learning Academy assessment, the resources on him would be extremely valuable. It could be said that this was what every large sect hoped to possess.
Everyone was inquiring about where this rogue cultivator 2705 came from and what his background was. They all hoped to contact someone familiar with rogue cultivator 2705 before he came out.
The Lingxiao Divine Sect was naturally one of the sects eagerly paying attention to Mo Wuji. When Mo Wuji was still in second place after three rounds, the Zuo Ling Peak Lord of the Lingxiao Divine Sect, Lao Yu, couldn't help but ask Chi Kun beside him, "Chi Kun, is that rogue cultivator 2705 Mo Wuji?"
Chi Kun suspected that rogue cultivator 2705 was Mo Wuji, but he wasn't sure. Now that the Zuo Ling Peak Lord was asking, he had to say, "I'm not very sure, but that Mo Wuji is indeed extraordinary. The fourth round of assessment is Pill Dao. After the fourth round of assessment, I can be sure. It's just that Mo Wuji is limited by his spiritual root aptitude, so his strength is very poor. I just heard that the rogue cultivator 2705's participation quota was earned in the martial arts arena, with 31 consecutive victories. If it's Mo Wuji, it would be difficult for him to win 31 consecutive victories."
Lao Yu nodded. Mo Wuji was a Rank 4 Grand Divine Pill Refiner, and the fourth round was Pill Dao assessment. As long as Mo Wuji was still in the top ranks in the fourth round, it would mean that the rogue cultivator 2705 was definitely Mo Wuji.
As for the martial arts arena, without a fight, who could be sure of Mo Wuji's strength? If it were him, he wouldn't easily reveal his abilities. If the cultivation was higher, the spiritual root would indeed be the biggest limitation on strength. Now that everyone was at the Raising God stage, the connection between spiritual root and strength was minimized.
……
After entering the fourth round of assessment, Mo Wuji felt like he had come to the Pill Dao Honor Tower again. This time, the content of the assessment wasn't to refine a specific pill. In the same room, a white jade screen was filled with various pill names, from Rank 9 immortal pills to Rank 5 divine pills.
What surprised Mo Wuji was that the introduction to the Pill Dao assessment stated that as long as you could produce the Honor Token of the Pill Dao Honor Tower, you could receive the corresponding divine spiritual herbs for free. The prerequisite was that the pill you refined had to be written on the screen.
Mo Wuji unhesitatingly took out his Grand Divine Pill Refiner Honor Token and stuck it in the groove next to the teleportation plate. At the same time, he selected the Rank 4 divine pill, Profound Life Divine Pill.
The value of the spiritual herbs for Rank 4 divine pills wasn't low. All the divine pills refined here would belong to the Nirvana Learning Academy. Now that there were free spiritual herbs, Mo Wuji naturally wouldn't waste them.
He had refined the Profound Life Divine Pill before. With his abilities, he could easily refine nine Superior-grade Profound Life Divine Pills. However, Mo Wuji was sure that his score wouldn't be too bad, so he only refined six High-grade Profound Life Divine Pills.
The six High-grade Profound Life Divine Pills were teleported away, and Mo Wuji entered the fifth round of assessment, Rune Dao, with almost the easiest attitude.
For the Rune Dao assessment, Mo Wuji chose to refine the Rank 3 divine rune, Lesser Illusory Killing Formation Rune. This was a type of rune that assisted in fighting. When planting Green Dew Rice, Mo Wuji had refined this type of divine rune more than once. More importantly, he had the materials for this rune on him.
The Rune Dao assessment was the same as the Pill Dao assessment. If you had the Honor identity of the Honor Tower, you could receive the rune-refining materials for free. Mo Wuji had never been to the Rune Dao Honor Tower, so he could only take out his own materials.
……
On the plaza where the Nirvana Dao City assessment rankings were located, there was a commotion.
"He's first again, he's first again. After the fourth round, that rogue cultivator 2705's score is already 332.5."
"This guy is amazing. He added 90 points in the fourth round. Could it be that he's also a Rank 4 Grand Divine Pill Refiner?"
"This should be true. If he wasn't a Rank 4 Grand Divine Pill Refiner, it would be impossible to get 90 points in the Pill Dao assessment. Ji Feiyan's score hasn't come out yet, but I estimate that he won't be able to surpass the rogue cultivator 2705. I heard that Ji Feiyan is a Rank 3 divine pill refiner, even if he refines the best Rank 3 divine pill, he will only have 329 points..."
The Lingxiao Divine Sect's Zuo Ling Peak Lord Lao Yu clenched his fist. Even without Chi Kun's reminder, he guessed that the rogue cultivator 2705 was likely Mo Wuji.
Before he could ask Chi Kun, Chi Kun said in surprise, "The rogue cultivator 2705 actually passed the fifth round of assessment. He's still in first place with a score of 412.5. He's actually a Rank 3 Divine Rune Master. Heavens..."
Towards the end, Chi Kun was muttering to himself, because the rogue cultivator 2705 was too shocking.
"He passed the fifth round. The rogue cultivator 2705 passed the fifth round!" Someone couldn't help but shout out.
At this moment, some people were still planting Green Dew Rice in the second round, and even a small number of people were stuck in the first round. The rogue cultivator 2705 had already passed the fifth round and entered the sixth round of Divine Dao assessment. This was really outrageous.
"Ji Feiyan also passed the fourth round of assessment. His score is indeed 329..."
Even Lao Yu, a Divine King, was stunned by Mo Wuji's score. A genius like Ji Feiyan could cultivate in various daos, and even be very powerful in each dao. This was already rare. Moreover, Ji Feiyan's success was due to Covering Star Mountain's cultivation. How many sects could cultivate their disciples in various daos as crazily as Covering Star Mountain?
There were billions of great Daos in the world, and each Dao required endless time and energy. A cultivator didn't even have enough time to cultivate, so how many people would spend all their time researching various daos?
"Elder Ren Fei, did Mo Wuji discover you were looking for him?" Thinking of the disciples of the Lingxiao Divine Sect who participated in the assessment, and now there wasn't even a shadow of anyone, Lao Yu couldn't help but stare at Ren Fei and ask again.
Ren Fei's expression was a bit unsightly. He sighed and said, "If it was before, I would definitely not have seen that Mo Wuji. Even if he disguised himself, there was no Mo Wuji. It's just..."
He glanced at Chi Kun and stopped talking.
Mo Wuji disguised himself to go to the Lingxiao Divine Sect, but didn't disguise himself to come here. Who would have thought? Besides, Mo Wuji went to the Lingxiao Divine Sect as a helper, and also as a guest. It was obvious that he, Ren Fei, couldn't use his divine sense to observe Mo Wuji.
He also understood what the Zuo Ling Peak Lord meant. If Mo Wuji saw him, Ren Fei, chasing him to Nirvana Dao City, he would definitely have resentment towards the Lingxiao Divine Sect.
Lao Yu sighed and said, "Alas, the Sect Master made a mistake on this matter. Chi Kun, after that Mo Wuji comes out, try to contact him more. After all, his relationship with you was quite good before."
Yu Ruo, who had been silent all along, suddenly said, "Peak Lord, that Mo Wuji has a bit of a temper. If you really contact him with a purpose, it will only cause his antipathy."
Lao Yu sighed again. A golden ingot was invited to the Lingxiao Divine Sect by Chi Kun and Yu Ruo, but the Lingxiao Divine Sect killed itself and kicked this golden ingot away. An opportunity was placed in front of the Lingxiao Divine Sect, but in the end...
It should be known that the Chixiao Divine Sect originally planned to have Mo Wuji represent the sect in the assessment.
"Yu Ruo, if the rogue cultivator 2705 is really Mo Wuji, go contact him after the assessment is over. In any case, we can't give up. I'll contact the Sect Master now and ask him to come to Nirvana Dao City. If Mo Wuji really gets into the top ten, this matter is no small matter. It would be one thing if there was no hope, but we have hope and we knew Mo Wuji first. We definitely can't just let it go like this." For the first time, Lao Yu didn't consider Yu Ruo's feelings and directly set the tone.
……
At this moment, Mo Wuji had already arrived at the sixth level, Divine Dao. To his surprise, there were two doors in the place where the Divine Dao was being assessed. The door on the left was very short, and the door on the right was very tall.
