Chapter 984: Chapter 984 Law Affinity

Gong Luo sneered inwardly, thinking to himself that there would be a time when you regret it.

Gong Luo believed that Jing Yan might not choose to join the Qingmu Department, but he also didn’t want Jing Yan to join the Truth Department. The less Li Yue thought of Jing Yan, the better it would be.

He was also too lazy to say anything more to Li Yue, slightly closed his eyes, and looked towards the Rainbow Arch, watching the martial artists rushing like a tide into the Rainbow Arch and entering the Mystic Temple of the World.

Jing Yan and Mei Qing, both numbered in the six hundred thousands, but the speed at which martial artists entered the Mystic Temple of the World was swift, so they didn’t have to wait long before they also dashed towards the Rainbow Arch.

The Mystic Temple of the World is an independent space world, apparently a special venue used by the Luo Jiu Divine Palace specifically for the selection and assessment of martial artists.

Upon entering the Mystic Temple of the World, Jing Yan immediately sensed its uniqueness. The Mei Qing, who had originally been with him, was now nowhere to be seen. Within the range that Jing Yan could see and perceive, he was alone.

The number of martial artists participating in the selection assessment numbered in the millions. With so many martial artists entering the Mystic Temple of the World, this independent space world was obviously not small. After entering, Jing Yan discovered that the spatial structure here was very peculiar, as if he were the only person on his level.

Jing Yan speculated that the situation for other martial artists entering the Mystic Temple of the World should be similar to his own. Thus, it could be said that the interior of the Mystic Temple of the World likely consists of countless spatial layers. Every martial artist who enters the Mystic Temple of the World is on their own independent layer.

"It’s truly worthy of being one of the Four Great Divine Palaces of the Luli Divine Domain to have such a special spatial world," Jing Yan marveled in his heart.

After observing for a moment, Jing Yan sat down cross-legged and began to wait patiently.

His number was in the six hundred thousands, and there were still hundreds of thousands of martial artists who would enter the Mystic Temple of the World after him.

The selection assessment would likely be conducted only after all participating martial artists had entered the Mystic Temple of the World.

Beneath the Stacked Peak, the number of martial artists preparing to participate in the selection assessment was dwindling; gradually, everyone entered the Mystic Temple of the World.

People from the Ninety-nine Departments of the First Palace, and many others from institutions like the Wanbao Hall and the Assessment Department, were only entering the Mystic Temple of the World after all participating martial artists had entered, as indicated by the Supreme Elder.

Within the Luo Jiu Divine Palace, there were quite a few people attending the selection assessment. Not just those from the First Palace, but also from the Second Palace, Third Palace, and other prominent figures would come to observe if they were free, as the assessment, being held once every hundred years, wasn’t common and was somewhat intriguing.

Jing Yan was sitting cross-legged, waiting.

"Dear young friends, please pay attention!"

"All martial artists participating in the selection assessment have entered the Mystic Temple of the World. You must listen carefully to each word I say next."

"The selection assessment is about to undergo its first test. The content of this first test is simple: it focuses on your affinity for the Power of Laws, or rather your sensitivity to the Laws. Out of over a million of you, only one hundred thousand and two hundred and forty people will pass this test."

"Those who cannot pass the first test will be directly eliminated, and the Mystic Temple of the World will teleport the eliminated individuals directly out of the Luo Jiu Divine Palace." A divine thought echoed in the ears of every martial artist in the Mystic Temple of the World.

Jing Yan knew that this voice belonged to the Supreme Elder of the Jidao Palace, who was presiding over the selection assessment.

Jing Yan was surprised by what the Supreme Elder had to say.

Of over a million people, more than ninety percent would be eliminated in the first test alone. Passing the selection of the Luo Jiu Divine Palace was indeed not easy. It must be understood that the martial artists able to participate in this selection assessment should have relatively strong qualifications; at least most of them were considered quite outstanding among their peers. Even so, ninety percent would still be eliminated in this first test.

This was just the first test.

There would undoubtedly be a second test. If more than ninety percent are eliminated in the first test, how many will be eliminated in the second? How many will ultimately become members of the Luo Jiu Divine Palace?

The first test examines the martial artist’s affinity for the Power of Laws. Simply put, it’s about the martial artist’s perception of the Law. This test targets the martial artist’s talent.

The stronger the Law affinity, the more sensitive the martial artist is to the Law, indicating higher talent. In this regard, Void God Level martial artists have no real advantage over Saint Realm martial artists.

In other words, even those at the Saint Realm level, if their Law affinity is strong enough, they can easily pass. Conversely, Void God Level martial artists also face the risk of elimination.

There are methods to enhance Law affinity even in the God Realm, but achieving them is not easy. For instance, if a martial artist refines a Law Ancestor, they can permanently increase their Law affinity. But how precious is a Law Ancestor? Even the master of the Death Temple stated that a Law Ancestor is a rare treasure.

"Five!"

"Four!"

"Three! Two! One! The first test begins now!"

As the divine thought of the Supreme Elder resonated, the Power of Laws suddenly surged in the spatial layers within the Mystic Temple of the World. These Powers of Laws, of course, did not attack the martial artists undergoing the test; they were merely testing the martial artist’s sensitivity and affinity to the Laws.

Martial artists participating in the assessment did not need to do anything at this moment; they closed their eyes and waited for the first test to conclude.

The duration of the first day’s test was approximately from half a cup of tea to thirty minutes. Within this time frame, it was sufficient to verify a martial artist’s affinity for the Laws.

The scene of over a million martial artists simultaneously testing their Law affinity was spectacular, highlighting the extraordinary nature of the space apparatus known as the Mystic Temple of the World.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

As the test began, figures disappeared one by one from the spatial layers of the Mystic Temple of the World. Clearly, they had been teleported away, eliminated. Many martial artists were simultaneously teleported out.

The number of martial artists in the Mystic Temple of the World rapidly decreased.

In one of the spatial layers within the Mystic Temple of the World, several elders watched with smiles on their faces.

"Only one million left!"

"About nine hundred thousand remain."

"Only eight hundred thousand left..."

"..."

The Supreme Elder who was presiding over the selection assessment was among these elders, his name was Yong Ming, and he was continuously reporting numbers. These numbers represented the remaining martial artists participating in the assessment. Within less than half a cup of tea, of the more than a million martial artists, only half remained. And this figure was still rapidly decreasing.

"Hehe, based on past experience, if one’s Law affinity does not reach ten thousand, there’s little hope of passing this stage," an elder with long blue hair chuckled.

"Indeed! If the Law affinity reaches ten thousand, they should barely make it into the top one hundred thousand two hundred and forty martial artists," the Supreme Elder Yong Ming nodded.

"Elder Yong Ming, what is the highest Law affinity currently reached?" another elder casually asked, looking at the Supreme Elder Yong Ming.

"Let me check!" Yong Ming squinted his eyes and gently swept an arm through the space. Instantly, the Power of Laws transmitted a message.
