Taoist Master of Fantasy World

Chapter 12 Star Ruins Secret Realm
Xu Zhenyun said in shock: "Here and now?"

Liang Hongbo smiled and said: "Not bad."

"The additional assessment you are about to take part in is called the 'Star Ruins Secret Realm'. It is one of the three most mysterious mysterious realms in the world."

"Ordinary people who participate in the assessment can, of course, enter through the physical portal; but those who cannot come to the scene also have a way to follow the authority. They can use the 'sleepwalking method' to enter the secret realm from a dream through the guidance of spiritual talismans."

"There are two paths, virtual and real, different paths leading to the same destination."

Xu Zhenyun was eye-opening.

Liang Hongbo then told Xu Zhenyun in detail about the assessment in the "Star Ruins Secret Realm".

The Secret Realm of Star Ruins, also known as the "World of Ten Directions", together with "Tianyuan Temple" and "Jingchen Heavenly Palace", are the three major "mysterious spiritual places" in Xinyuan Continent, and their status is of great importance.

The reason why it is called "Ten Directions World" is because it is a general name for ten different independent worlds. Each world has different entry thresholds and different uses.

In the first level of the world, only ordinary people before entering the Tao are allowed to enter.Hidden in it is the final tempering of the mortal body and spirit, strengthening the original foundation after the "granting of crystals".

The "special assessment" that Xu Zhenyun participated in was essentially an advanced assessment after the national election!

There were 800 states in the Immortal Dynasty of the Jin Dynasty, with six types of weapons including civil, martial arts, numbering, and bone. On average, each state and each type of weapon could select six people.Therefore, the total number of people who pass the general election every year is [-].

These 800 people are qualified to enter the temple, receive Xuanjing, and complete the transformation from mortals to monks.

But in order to truly establish the top cultivation potential and keep pace with the geniuses who have received the Heavenly Mysterious Crystal, they need to accept the baptism of the "Star Ruins Secret Realm".

The upper limit of the number of people entering each year, according to the laws imposed by the Jinxian Dynasty, is 210, which is less than one percent of the total number of people who passed the national election.

But for a long time, the limit of 210 six people could not even be filled!
Because the success rate of passing the "Star Ruins Secret Realm" is very low, 210 six people enter it, and only a fraction of them come out alive.

Once it fails, the body will die and the soul will disappear.

Now that you have obtained the qualifications to practice Taoism and have a bright future at your fingertips, who would be willing to take risks except those who truly have a strong Taoist heart?
Therefore, those who enter the country voluntarily have been very few for a long time.

A provision related to "special recommendation" also came into being at this time:
Those who are exempted from the national election through "special recommendation" must be forced to participate in the "Star Ruins Secret Realm" assessment to show fairness.

But as the years passed, things changed.

Due to continuous accumulation of experience, the success rate of "Star Ruins Secret Realm" has gradually increased, and has been close to [-]% in recent years.

For players with the most top qualifications, the chance of accidents is extremely small.

What's more important is: even if you fail the assessment, you can probably save your life and only lose some vitality.

As a result, the number of people willing to take the risk and sign up to participate in the "Star Ruins Secret Realm" suddenly increased.It has greatly exceeded the limit of 210 six people, and even requires a fierce early selection.

For example, this year, among the more than 800 people who won the national election, a full [-] people were interested in participating in the "Star Ruins Secret Realm" test.

After early selection, the best of the best were selected, and 210 five people including Xiang Tianwen were selected and qualified.

The reason why there are 210 and five is not to make a spot specifically for Xu Zhenyun; it is because it has been a rule since ancient times that there is a vacancy left for emergencies.

Liang Hongbo concluded: "That's why Liang told you that obtaining special recommendation qualifications will only save a year; what's more important is the opportunity to participate in additional assessments."

"Now, the rule that 'specially recommended initiates must attend the Star Ruins Secret Realm' has actually become a benefit - this means that not only the national election itself is exempted, but even the secondary selection to compete for the qualifications of 210 six people is exempted. "

"Even if you have the potential to compete for the top spot in martial arts, if you have to fight all the way through the qualification selection, you may not be without the risk of capsizing."

"Directly participating in the Star Ruins Secret Realm assessment with the 'Special Recommendation' qualification eliminates this variable."

Xu Zhenyun was surprised and said: "Such an obvious loophole...Why haven't the regulations of this 'special recommendation' system changed in line with the current situation?"

Liang Hongbo said: "There are three reasons."

"First, those who hold the qualifications of 'Special Recommendation' are bound by their hearts and minds. Those recommended must be newly discovered people who have nothing to do with themselves; they must not be their blood relatives, old disciples, or disciples."

"Secondly, facts speak louder than words. The passing rate of those who have participated in the Star Ruins Secret Realm assessment through the 'special recommendation' channel has always been significantly better than those who were selected. This is the most powerful support and illustrates the effectiveness of this system. rationality."

"Thirdly, the number of people who came through 'special recommendation' is very small, and it is not enough to shake the institutional foundation of the Jin Dynasty."

Xu Zhenyun nodded and said: "So that's it."

Liang Hongbo spread his fingers and held two bronze mirrors, one large and one small, in his palm.

The small one is about a foot in diameter and is edged with bronze, simple and without lines; the larger one is about a foot and a half in diameter and has similar specifications, but is lighter in color.

There is a short and thick wooden handle below the two bronze mirrors.

Liang Hongbo handed the smaller bronze mirror to Magistrate Li, and at the same time said to Xu Zhenyun: "After entering the secret realm, keep in mind what you see and hear in it, as well as the assessment content. After you come out, pass it on through this bronze mirror. Liang then The three revelations of passing the test will also be transmitted back through the bronze mirror." Xu Zhenyun had a question mark on his face.

There was no ambiguity in every sentence of Liang Hongbo's words, but Xu Zhenyun couldn't understand them when they were strung together.

Having already taken the assessment, what’s the use of getting three more passing revelations?
Liang Hongbo chuckled, with an expression like "There are a lot of things you don't understand", and explained in a leisurely manner: "Entering the Star Ruins Secret Realm is divided into two times; the first time is the 'preview'; the second time is Really take part in the assessment.”

"The Star Ruins Secret Realm is not an independent small world; its scale is as vast as the stars. In the first world of the Star Ruins Secret Realm alone, there is one main hub realm, nine 'wing realms', and hundreds of thousands of other boundaries. seat!"

"Everyone who takes the assessment enters a different secret realm; even in the same secret realm, the content of the assessment taken by those who entered the assessment last year and this year is completely different!"

Xu Zhenyun's doubts suddenly disappeared, and a strong curiosity and desire to explore arose in his heart.

Isn't this a huge game, with countless copies? And the content of the copies will be constantly updated?

Liang Hongbo continued: "This 'preview' system has been in place since the emergence of the Star Ruins Secret Realm, and it is completed three to six hours before the actual entry."

"The original intention is to give those who take the exam an opportunity to get familiar with it in advance; but after the management research of major immortal dynasties, it has become an important reason to reduce the difficulty of the assessment."

"Although the content of the assessment is endless, in terms of major categories, most of them are nothing more than actual combat, solving puzzles, and mental tempering. There are rules to follow."

"Furthermore, the information obtained from the 'preview' is actually the material of the 'deduction method'. Based on this, one of my greatest treasures of the Jin Dynasty, the 'Tianguan Four Symbols', can deduce three 'revelations' to help the trialists pass the test. ’, when the time comes to follow and implement it, the success rate of crossing the border can be greatly improved.”

Xu Zhenyun listened very carefully and kept everything in mind.

Liang Hongbo saw this and smiled: "You don't have to be too cautious."

"In most cases, those who enter the secret realm enter one of the [-] 'divisions'. If this is the case, with your ability to compete for the first place in the military test in the national election, you can enter the country without receiving any 'enlightenment' , it’s almost guaranteed to pass the test.”

"Of course, for people with very outstanding qualifications, the chance of entering the 'Nine Wings Realm' is higher than that of ordinary people, and the difficulty is also greater. In order to be prepared, you need to use 'revelation' as a backing. Normally speaking, those who are ranked first in the six subjects With the qualifications and the 'revelation' obtained through thorough study, even if you enter the 'Nine Wings Realm', it is not too difficult."

"If this were not the case, how could I dare to ask you to take this 'specially recommended' approach?"

Xu Zhenyun's heart moved, and he suddenly said: "Isn't there another main realm? What if I enter the main realm?"

Liang Hongbo turned the bronze mirror he was holding, his expression suddenly became extremely serious, and he said in a deep voice: "The main realm of the first level of the Star Ruins Secret Realm is called the 'Liuhe Linglong Tower'. It is dangerous and dangerous beyond the limits of ordinary people; those who have entered it since ancient times and today Of the more than [-] people, not a single person survived.”

Xu Zhenyun was shocked.

Liang Hongbo's face suddenly relaxed and he said with a smile: "Don't worry. This is all a matter of ancient times. When the secret realm of Star Ruins first appeared, the delivery rules were unclear, which resulted in many people losing their lives in vain."

"In the past few thousand years, the heaven and earth have been ordered and ranked strictly. The so-called 'Heaven does not make things difficult' is true! At least since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, I have not heard of anyone being assigned to the 'Liuhe Exquisite Pagoda'."

Xu Zhenyun finally felt at ease. It turned out that Liang Hongbo was just joking with him; this old guy was really good at adjusting the atmosphere.

Liang Hongbo put away the bronze mirror and said: "This is under the care of County Magistrate Li. Liang will return to the Hongfa Hall immediately. What you saw and heard after 'previewing' will be sent back through the bronze mirror. It won't take long for the news to be delivered. return."

At the same time, he lifted his left palm forward like a magic trick, and a drop-shaped jade bead of dark green and almost ink appeared in his palm, and continued: "Holding this talisman in your hand, you will naturally master the method of sleepwalking into the country."

"Hey! The process of previewing the entry will take about an hour. At that time, General Liang will rush to the Hongfa Hall. Time is really tight; if you come out early, wait patiently for a while, the yin and yang mirrors will not appear Wrong!"

Xu Zhenyun took the jade talisman and suddenly felt a little complicated.

In fact, Liang Hongbo just ordered Magistrate Li to bring the jade talisman and one of the bronze mirrors along the way. Once the message was received, Magistrate Li could also relay it on his behalf.But he took matters into his own hands and chose to run back and forth.

The hospitality is palpable and the sincerity is evident.

If Xu Zhenyun had some sense, now would be a suitable step to make a gesture of tears of gratitude and dedicate the "inheritance" that is said to be extremely important to the national destiny of the Jin Dynasty. Everyone would be happy.

but……

I really didn’t get any “inheritance”!

Xu Zhenyun frowned slightly and said in deep thought: "Master Shenlongshi..."

Liang Hongbo immediately waved his sleeves and said with a smile: "No rush, no rush! There is a way to tell the horse's power, and the time will tell the people's hearts."

"Nephew Zhenyun, you just have to follow your heart in everything you do. As I said -"

"Believe in Da Jin!"

After the last word fell, Liang Hongbo's body immediately turned into a stream of light and dissipated from the room.

He didn't even give Xu Zhenyun a chance to speak, and left the scene magnificently.

Xu Zhenyun: "..."
