Chapter 1992: Chapter 850: Rewards and Emperor’s Exam Questions

As the details of the rewards for the second round of assessment were projected onto the celestial Star Curtain, some were astonished, some delighted, while others exclaimed in shock and regret, stomping their feet.

The second round of assessment has no re-evaluation.

The current points and rankings are directly counted towards the initial selection points.

Of course, most people were striving to get points and were now excitedly browsing the specific rewards.

His Majesty was extremely generous here; from the current rewards, even if you were eventually eliminated, the rewards you received would be worth it.

But those who previously thought there would be a re-evaluation and growth points, and left a move when climbing the mountains in order to obtain super high growth points, now deeply regretted it.

Originally, they could have scaled one or two more peaks, but they withdrew early.

But now, it meant elimination in the future, and the reward would be significantly reduced.

Xu Jin glanced at True Monarch Tianzhang, secretly admiring him.

You can only say, ginger gets spicier with age.

In terms of understanding people’s hearts, True Monarch Tianzhang was superb.

His gaze swept over, and the rewards for the second round were all in view, but Xu Jin’s expression showed no fluctuation.

How to put it, the rewards were very generous.

But they didn’t have the stunning feel as in the first stage.

Of course, it was mainly because Xu Jin had previously acquired many Sumeru Spaces from True Monarch experts during his return to Kunling Domain, especially the treasures in the Sumeru Space of True Monarch Hai Fen, which made him feel the rewards weren’t that stunning.

But actually, they were extremely abundant.

The reward rules were very similar to the first round.

The rewards were divided into three categories: Category A, Category B, and Category C.

The first place could independently choose five rewards, with three choices from Category A.

From the second to the tenth place, you could choose four rewards, but only one from Category A.

From the eleventh to the hundredth place, you could choose three rewards, none from Category A, and Category B could be chosen repeatedly.

From the one hundred and first to the three hundredth place, you could choose two rewards, none from Category A, only repeatable rewards from Category C.

From the three hundred and first to the last place, you could choose one reward, none from Categories A and B, only from Category C.

As before, there were few Category A rewards, only four types.

Category A rewards: One piece of Innate Treasure Material (Five Elements), one piece of Innate Spiritual Material (Space, Thunder Series, Wind Series), Star Monarch level Yan Dao Pearl, and five pieces of Star Ruins Primordial Sand.

Category B rewards: One piece of Innate Spiritual Material (Five Elements), Star Monarch grade Yan Dao Pearl, two pieces of Star Ruins Primordial Sand, one opportunity for Enlightenment on Tongyou Sacred Road, one opportunity for Enlightenment at Xuanxin Mountain, Enlightenment Stone (Space, Thunder Series, Wind Series), ten drops of All Heaven Star Dew...

Category C rewards: Treasure Material (with selectable attributes) one piece of Star Ruins Primordial Sand, five drops of All Heaven Star Dew, Enlightenment Stone (Five Elements)...

Xu Jin wasn’t in a hurry to choose but rather meticulously studied the reward catalog.

Actually, you could see the value of various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the reward catalog.

For example, Innate Treasure Materials of the Space, Thunder Series, and Wind Series should also be rare items at His Majesty’s place.

But the Five Elements Innate Treasure Materials, there should be plenty at Emperor Dongxuan’s place; theoretically, the top ten can each choose one, which is ten pieces.

Star Ruins Primordial Sand at His Majesty’s place shouldn’t be particularly abundant either.

These consumable cultivation items, in Category A rewards, there are only five pieces.

After a series of studies, Xu Jin also made his selection.

He could choose five rewards, and these five rewards should, as much as possible, be some relatively scarce supplies.

The Yan Dao Pearl and Star Ruins Primordial Sand from the Star Monarch level in Category A were first excluded.

First, he chose two pieces of Five Elements Innate Treasure Material, which were hard currency.

If he couldn’t use them himself, he could trade them, the value was the highest.

Among the Space and Thunder Series, Wind Series Innate Spiritual Materials, Xu Jin chose a Space Innate Spiritual Material.

The value of Space Innate Spiritual Material is three times that of the Five Elements class, more scarce, and if the attribute is good, it can also be used for oneself.

The Category B rewards, to Xu Jin, seemed somewhat redundant.

The most valuable should be the opportunities for Enlightenment on the Tongyou Sacred Road and at Xuanxin Mountain.

But if Xu Jin became the Saint Heir of the Imperial Palace, these two cultivation paths would inevitably be available, just a question of how many opportunities.

However, the other rewards still had no scarcity value to Xu Jin.

Considering the subsequent assessments were unknown, finally, Xu Jin still chose the opportunities for Enlightenment on the Tongyou Sacred Road and at Xuanxin Mountain each once.

One reason was that Xu Jin had previously heard True Monarch Tianzhang say that even if he became the Saint Heir of the Imperial Palace, access to these two Secret Realms wasn’t casual.

The other reason was that these two Secret Realms for practice could quickly enhance Xu Jin’s combat power to a certain extent.

If needed later, he could capitalize on the exchange opportunity again to reap some benefits and boost his combat power.

To be prepared.

Once the rewards were selected and sent out through the Tongxuan Order, in less than ten breaths, the Imperial Palace’s steward Star Lord delivered the rewards on the spot, letting Xu Jin sign for them in person.

The reward distribution was quite straightforward.

From this point, you could see that the Imperial Palace’s reserve of Five Elements Innate Treasure Material was still very ample.

The top ten, each selected an Innate Treasure Material.

The opportunities for Enlightenment on the Tongyou Sacred Road and at Xuanxin Mountain were each issued a token, which could be displayed to enter at any time during leisure.

Fifteen minutes later, many participants had all finalized their rewards, and one by one, they directed their gaze toward the hosts, True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment and Qian Yan True Monarch, eager to find out what the next assessment would be.

According to the previous statement, the third test assesses talent.

But no one knows exactly how it will be assessed.

Amidst everyone’s anticipation, the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment and the Qian Yan True Monarch exchanged a glance, confirming that the rewards for the second test had concluded. Then, both turned and bowed towards Emperor Dongxuan in the void.

[Respectfully, Emperor, the second round of assessment is complete. As for the third round talent assessment, we await your instructions.]

Upon hearing this, all candidates felt a chill in their hearts.

It seemed that not only would the third round of assessment be personally devised by the Emperor, but it also appeared to have an element of randomness.

Under everyone’s gaze, the Starlight figure of Emperor Dongxuan in the void suddenly flashed, as if awakening from a deep slumber. The Starlight figure seemed to come alive, sitting up slowly, radiating starlight in all directions.

At the same instant, everyone, including many Emperors, instinctively lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Emperor Dongxuan.

"The third round of talent assessment? What should be assessed?" Emperor Dongxuan’s deep voice resounded, making the candidates extremely nervous.

It felt as if their fate hung on a thought from Emperor Dongxuan.

Silence!

Absolute silence.

Everyone, including Emperors and True Monarchs, were bowing their heads, awaiting Emperor Dongxuan’s final decision.

A few breaths later, Emperor Dongxuan’s voice echoed again, "Since we’re assessing talent, let’s do something different this year.

A few years ago, I obtained a cosmic fragment in Chaos Gorge and spent years on its cultivation, with slow progress.

Today, I will show the cosmic fragment that has been comprehended, to increase scores by comprehension progress.

This is a cosmic fragment, representing the Heaven and Earth Star Will that I have not fully deciphered.

I have divided it into nine realms; currently, I have comprehended up to the fifth. Let’s see how far you can comprehend.

Limited to five days, those who comprehend one realm will have their total score increased by 100 points directly, those who comprehend two will have it increased by 400 points directly.

If able to comprehend three or more realms, I will immediately accept them as direct disciples of my teachings, excluding them from further selections."

Upon hearing this, the candidates were stunned, and even many Emperors and True Monarchs, including the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment and Qian Yan True Monarch, were incredibly shocked.

Direct disciple of the teachings!

Immediate acceptance as direct disciple of the teachings!

What kind of cosmic fragment could this be!

In fact, there are many direct disciples of the Emperor.

The top three Emperor Palace Saint Heirs of each generation have been direct disciples.

Even Emperors like Haiyue Emperor are direct disciples of the Emperor.

But adding the term "teachings" makes it entirely different.

"Teachings" imply inheritance.

The entire inheritance of Emperor Dongxuan could be passed on to the disciples of the teachings, and even the vast area of Star Realm might be inherited by them.

This significance is completely different.

Moreover, several Emperors are somewhat anxious at this moment.

Seeing the expressions of the present Emperors and True Monarchs, Emperor Dongxuan smiled again, "You need not worry, comprehending this cosmic fragment is extremely difficult, and I have only reached the fifth realm after years of hard work.

Now, not only these candidates but everyone present today can comprehend!

If comprehension is successful, there will be substantial rewards!"

While the Emperors and True Monarchs were stunned, they were all excited.

The True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment, Qian Yan True Monarch, Yu Kun Emperor, and Hai Yue Emperor were contemplating more.

The grand rewards referred to by the Emperor must be extraordinary.

If they succeed in their comprehension, what would be the grand reward?

Perhaps they could fulfill some wishes ahead of time!

But what exactly is this cosmic fragment?

Some were excited, some expectant, and some were stern.

Xu Jin belonged to the stern group.

For Emperor Dongxuan to become such a powerful Emperor, surely his talent is top-notch.

It took him decades to barely comprehend the fifth realm; for them to comprehend the third realm within just five days seems incredibly difficult.

Most likely, these rewards might just be for a glimpse.

Yet Xu Jin was greatly curious: what precisely was the cosmic fragment that even a formidable expert like Emperor Dongxuan could not fully comprehend after decades?

After all the Emperors and True Monarchs had offered thanks, Emperor Dongxuan in the void waved his hand, and a beam of Starlight descended from the sky, encapsulating the Saint Selection Camp in a closed Star Curtain Secret Realm.

"The cosmic fragment is here, feel free to comprehend it. There are nine realms in total; for each realm comprehended, the cosmic fragment will respond, and I will naturally know!"

The moment Emperor Dongxuan’s voice resounded, a bizarre and singular Starlight orb appeared above the Star Curtain Secret Realm.

At its appearance, everyone held their breath and focused, with various degrees of Divine Thought wrapping around it for the first time, and Xu Jin’s Divine Thought surged up as well.

The flashing Starlight fragment gave Xu Jin a sense of elusiveness, such that even Divine Thought could not easily lock onto it.

But what surprised Xu Jin even more was that this cosmic Starlight fragment was not of any kind he had previously comprehended in any Star Power.

It was not the Five Elements, nor was it Wind, Thunder, or Space; it was a completely unfamiliar, never-before-seen power!

Feelings of amazement gradually surfaced in Xu Jin’s heart.
