Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

"This round of assessment: Before the dissipating of the Spirit Light Shield, draw a defensive talisman that can withstand the spiritual pressure outside the shield. The talisman must be able to withstand the pressure for fifteen minutes without breaking in order to pass the assessment!"

The thunderous and deep voice sounded again, briefly introducing the content of this round of assessment.

Ji Boying glanced at the surrounding seawater and couldn't help but furrow his brows.

The voice just now only mentioned drawing a defensive talisman that can withstand the spiritual pressure of the world before the Spirit Light Shield dissipates, but it didn't mention how long the Spirit Light Shield would last, nor how strong the spiritual pressure outside the shield would be.

"It's worthy of being the assessment of the Ten Thousand Paths Tower. The first round is already so difficult!"

"If one doesn't carefully read the question and analyze the duration of the shield and the strength of the spiritual pressure outside, this assessment will most likely end in failure!"

Ji Boying murmured, not rushing to make the talisman, but instead looking at the surrounding Spirit Light Shield.

On the protective wall, there were intricate and mysterious spiritual patterns.

The patterns were interconnected, like knitting a sweater, with lines intertwining and overlapping.

As the seawater outside rose and fell, the spiritual patterns on the protective wall flickered and dimmed accordingly.

However...

Every time the seawater eroded the protective wall, the luster of those spiritual patterns would dim slightly.

Although this change was extremely subtle, Ji Boying still noticed it.

"So that's how it is!"

Ji Boying's eyes brightened, seemingly understanding the core of this round of assessment.

"If I'm not mistaken... this round of assessment requires the talisman master to first figure out the level and strength of this Spirit Light Shield, and then deduce the strength of the spiritual pressure outside and the duration the shield can last through the spiritual patterns on the shield!"

Thinking of this, Ji Boying suddenly became enlightened.

He walked to the white stone table.

On it, there was already a brush and a blank talisman paper.

"Wow... they only gave one piece of talisman paper. They really didn't leave any room for those who didn't participate in the assessment!"

Ji Boying couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Then, he started making the talisman.

Based on his observation just now, he could now basically confirm that the strength of the spiritual pressure outside was at the peak of Nascent Soul. As for the duration of the Spirit Light Shield, it would only last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

However...

Ignoring the time wasted earlier, Ji Boying needed to finish drawing the required talisman for the assessment within the next quarter of an hour.

Time was pressing.

After Ji Boying broke through to a four-star talisman master, his main focus was on the derivation of thunder-based talismans, and he neglected the aspect of diagram interpretation. Therefore, he didn't have many talismans to choose from.

There were only a few three-star high-grade defense talismans.

However, they were more than enough to deal with this first round of assessment.

Like this...

In just a little over a quarter of an hour, a three-star high-grade Dragon Scale Talisman was completed.

After waiting for the time it takes for a cup of tea...

The Spirit Light Shield shattered with a loud bang.

Ji Boying quickly activated the Dragon Scale Talisman in his hand.

Instantly, a suit of armor woven from spiritual energy appeared in front of Ji Boying.

The spiritual pressure descended.

Just as Ji Boying expected, it was at the peak of Nascent Soul.

Therefore, when this spiritual pressure descended, it only caused the spiritual energy armor to deform slightly, without causing any substantial damage.

After a quarter of an hour...

The thunderous voice sounded again.

"Congratulations to Ji Boying, a core member of the Ten Thousand Paths Pavilion, for passing the first level of the Ten Thousand Paths Tower assessment. You now have three hours of rest time. If you want to proceed to the second round of assessment, you must apply within the three-hour rest period, otherwise, it will be considered as an automatic withdrawal!"

"Note: During the rest period, you can leave the Ten Thousand Paths Tower, but you must return before the end of the rest period, otherwise, it will be considered as an automatic withdrawal from the assessment."

Central Continent Trading Company Headquarters.

In a small courtyard on the peak of the main hall in Fufeng Realm.

"Changgong, during this seclusion, not only did you break through to a four-star high-grade talisman master, but you also mastered the Thunder Hall's Five Thunder Talisman to a proficient level!"

"Although the geniuses below the Soul Formation realm in each hall have already started to compete for rankings, with your strength, the top thirty of the Huiyue Ranking should pose no difficulty for you!"

Speaking of this, the Lord of the Fufeng Hall paused and continued:

"Besides... I heard that the symbol master of the Tianlei Hall has obtained their Lord's Thunder Law Divine Transmission. As for whether it was successful or not, they have kept it a secret and haven't revealed anything."

"But... that symbol master's spiritual root aptitude is not good, and their cultivation is only at the mid-Foundation Building stage. Even if the divine transmission is successful, with their abilities, they can only unleash less than ten percent of the power of the Thunder Law."

"I estimate that with their Lord's Thunder Law Heart Sutra, that symbol master can also enter the top thirty of the Huiyue Ranking."

"For now, I have no other requirements for you. I just hope that before the ranking is settled, you can surpass that symbol master of the Tianlei Hall!"

Upon hearing this, the young man's eyes couldn't help but flicker.

After hesitating for a moment, he respectfully clasped his fists towards the Lord of the Fufeng Hall and said:

"I will not disappoint Master's expectations!"

"Good! Very good!"

The Lord of the Fufeng Hall nodded slightly and then said:

"There is still more than a month before the ranking is settled, and you haven't used any of your three chances yet."

"This time, there have been some changes in the Wandao Tower, so you should use your first chance to explore inside."

"After becoming familiar with the environment, you can use the remaining two chances to compete for the ranking!"

"Yes!"

At the same time...

In the main hall of the Qishan Sect, inside a magnificent side hall.

The Lord of the Qishan Sect, Tong Zhen, who had muscular and twisted body, was wearing a lecherous smile, following closely behind a young girl.

"Fei'er... The ranking will be settled in a little over a month. When do you plan to enter the Wandao Tower?"

"It's not that your grandfather is rushing you, but I'm worried that if you don't take the assessment soon, you will fall out of the top one hundred of the Huiyue Ranking."

"Your grandfather has been researching this formation plate for the convenience of your assessment, you know? If you fall out of the top one hundred, this formation plate will be useless, and all the research done by your grandfather and uncles will be in vain."

"If they find out that because you didn't participate in the assessment in time and your ranking fell out of the top one hundred, and they couldn't use the formation plate they developed for you, they will be very sad."

Perhaps it was because she was annoyed by her grandfather's constant nagging, or perhaps she was genuinely worried that her uncles would be sad, the girl stopped and compromised:

"Alright, I will go into the Wandao Tower to participate in the assessment now!"

Upon hearing this, the old man was overjoyed, and his face became even more wrinkled.

"Hahaha, good, good! It's great that you can participate in the assessment!"

"Your grandfather doesn't expect you to achieve a high ranking. As long as we can enter the top thirty-six of the Huiyue Ranking!"

"Top thirty-six?"

A look of confusion appeared on the girl's face.

The old man quickly explained:

"The Divine Lord said that when the three major rankings are first announced, there will be some additional rewards. The top ten of the Xingchen Ranking, the top thirty-six of the Huiyue Ranking, and the top one hundred of the Yaori Ranking can all obtain the Wu Xiang Dao Crystal!"

"The top thirty-six of the Huiyue Ranking can obtain the Wu Xiang Dao Crystal?!"

A hint of disbelief appeared in the girl's voice.

"Yes! Unexpected, isn't it?"

The old man said with a smile:

"The Wu Xiang Dao Crystal is a good thing!"

"Even your grandfather has to suffer a bit to exchange for a few. Now that there is such a good opportunity, we must seize it!"

"I calculated that at that time, you will have one, I will have ten, your useless father can barely get five, oh, and your bastard second uncle can get four. Our family will have a total of twenty crystals!"

"Twenty Wu Xiang Dao Crystals! I will give them all to you. With your formation, you might even be able to attempt to break through to the fourth-grade superior!"

The girl didn't listen to the old man's rambling, but silently took out the formation plate.

Since the assessment ended, she had entered the Wandao Tower again half a year ago.

Although her ranking did not improve, it slowed down the decline. Moreover, she surpassed Ji Boying, who participated in the assessment with her!

She glanced at the lower positions on the ranking list, and her eyes flickered slightly.

"You should be competing for the ranking soon, right?"

"I'm really looking forward to your performance this time!"
