Myriad Dao Book Palace Trials Begin

"My God! Three Academies Selection? How is this possible?" A young cultivator from the Immortal Court exclaimed, his voice trembling, barely Dharma Manifestation his eyes.

"Qin Wudao was only a dual-academy student back then! This Qin Wangchuan... just what kind of monster is he?"

"This can't be explained by talent alone; it's a perfect combination of Dao heart, potential, and Qi Yun."

"No wonder he was able to defeat Xiang Haoran with a single finger."

Hearing the surrounding whispers, Xiang Haoran's forehead veins bulged and his fists clenched tightly.

He wanted to argue, to roar, but in the end, he was forcibly suppressed by a tremendous sense of powerlessness.

That statement is not wrong.

Only by personally experiencing the terror of that finger strike can one realize just how far Qin Wangchuan has progressed.

With the power of Half-Venerable, he can shatter his own Heaven and Earth Dharma Manifestation with a single finger; if he were to reach the Supreme Being, wouldn't he be truly invincible?

Thinking about this, Xiang Haoran filled with many thoughts, and a particular idea quietly surfaced in his mind.

But no matter what he thought.

The name Qin Wangchuan will be etched into the history of the Academy, becoming an unattainable legend.

The top Prodigy from the Upper Thousand Provinces seemed somewhat puzzled. Although they knew Qin Wangchuan was very strong, they did not have a deep understanding of the significance of "Three Academies Selection".

"Is he really that good?" someone muttered. "It's just that all three departments chose him."

"What do you know!"

Someone nearby scoffed, their voice barely concealing excitement and awe.

"That's the approval of High Antiquity holy spirit! To be Three Academies Selection is unprecedented in the history of the Academy!"

"Among this batch, he must be the strongest, right?"

Li Xuan, Yan Wujin, and the others had anticipated this scene and remained calm.

"See? I told you it was the Third Hospital." Yun Zexuan stretched out his hand to Zhao Lingyun next to him, asking for a bet.

Zhao Lingyun deftly tossed over a Jade Slip, then glanced at Yun Zexuan with a sidelong look and asked, "How much of the Yun Clan's Heavenly Secret Art can you actually predict?"

To this, Yun Zexuan smiled mysteriously, "Who knows?"

Chu Wujiu watched this scene, let out a long breath, and a smug smile appeared on his lips, "That's right, that's the real him."

Amidst the murmurs, Elder Liang approached with a broad smile. He first gave Qin Wangchuan an approving look, then spoke:

"Although Three Academies Selection and have the qualification to enter all three at the same time, the path of cultivation values focus, especially in the early stages."

He paused, his eyes filled with anticipation. "Which academy would you like to choose as your starting point?"

Here, the person is not referred to as the "Divine Son"—within the Academy, status and titles are intentionally downplayed, and no one is treated as special.

Qin Wangchuan uttered three words calmly, almost without hesitation:

"Xuanyi Academy."

As soon as he finished speaking, he strode towards the Xuanyi Academy's line, his steps steady and without the slightest hesitation.

Unlike others, Qin Wangchuan did not come here for cultivation.

He has a clearer goal and a more defined future.

Seeing this, Xie Qingshang, who was pretending to talk to another elder but actually keeping a close eye on this side, also raised his hand without hesitation.

She declared loudly, "I choose Xuanyi Academy!"

The sudden sound attracted the attention of some people, who didn't understand why she was shouting so loudly.

It's like saying it specifically to someone?

But soon, everyone turned their attention back to digesting the shock Qin Wangchuan had brought.

With the names arranged, the Academy Assignment Ceremony began.

As the last disciple joined the queue, the White Robe Elder had delivered the impassioned speech before the ceremony slowly ascended the stage once more.

His gaze swept across the entire room, lingering briefly on Qin Wangchuan, a barely perceptible hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"The Dao Path is long, and today is only the beginning."

"Seeing such a wealth of talent in this cohort fills me with great satisfaction. However—" His voice was gentle yet clear to everyone. Then, his tone suddenly shifted, tinged with humor:

"There was someone hiding quite well on the Heavenly Ladder earlier. The ability to break a Golden Steps with a single finger truly broadened my horizons."

A knowing chuckle rippled through the audience, clearly referring to Qin Xuanji's earlier actions.

This name, when placed alongside Qin Wudao, is like a firefly.

But this very firefly suddenly burst forth with the blazing light of the sun yesterday.

"Concealing one's shortcomings is a sign of wisdom, but too much of a good thing can be bad."

The elder stroked his beard and smiled, then his expression turned slightly serious, and his voice echoed throughout the square.

"Though the Great Dao is solitary, the path of cultivation is not necessarily walked alone. If you can join hands and make progress together in the upcoming 'Myriad Dao Book Palace' trials, it will be a truly remarkable story."

"I also hope that those disciples who intend to conceal their talents will show some of their true abilities, so that not only the Academy but also their peers can witness their brilliance."

After saying that, he waved his sleeve, and dazzling light patterns appeared in the air, intertwining to form the Majestic Palace Tower.

"The Myriad Dao Book Palace has ten levels, each a labyrinth."

"Within, countless Dao Rhyme flow, numerous mechanisms and formations abound, and High Antiquity legacies are hidden. With each level you ascend, the difficulty increases exponentially, but so do the fortuitous opportunity."

As the light patterns flowed, the top of the palace building suddenly emitted Eleventh Layer of light, which was exceptionally dazzling.

"Above the tenth level lies the Eleventh Layer —this is the trial ground."

"If we can reach it, we can challenge the illusory imprints of the strongest individuals who have ever entered the Book Palace."

The elder continued, his voice solemn, "This palace itself is a High Antiquity Saint Spirit Artifact, and it will record your performance. Ultimately, your ranking in this trial will be determined based on your completion time, the level you reached, and your overall performance within the palace."

His gaze swept across the young faces in the room, finally settling on Qin Wangchuan, Xiang Haoran, Xie Qingshang, and a few others.

"This ranking will directly affect your initial resources and status within the Academy. I hope you will all give it your all."

As soon as he finished speaking, a great light shone brightly in the center of the square, and an ancient Stone Palace Gate appeared out of thin air. Inside the gate, a halo of light flowed, exuding a vast and boundless aura.

"The training at the Myriad Dao Book Palace, now begins!"

At the elder's command, the crowd instantly transformed into streaks of light, rushing towards the gate leading to legend and fortuitous opportunity.

Qin Wangchuan stood at the head of the Xuanyi Academy team, but did not rush to make a move.

He gazed at the gleaming palace gates, his eyes calm, and no one knew what he was thinking at that moment.

Just then, a small hand suddenly pushed him from behind.

"What are you standing there for? Let's go!"

Qin Wangchuan turned around and saw that Qin Zhaoer had somehow squeezed behind him.

Although she was the older sister, she acted more like an impatient younger sister at this moment. Seeing him looking at her, she immediately raised her chin proudly, her tone full of a Little Female Demon's:

"Hmph, even though you didn't beg me, my sister is taking pity on me and is willing to go with you. You should be grateful!"

Not far away, Xie Qingshang watched this scene, his expression shifting slightly, showing some hesitation.

She took a deep breath, seemingly having finally made up her mind, and stepped forward, intending to take this opportunity to invite Qin Wangchuan to accompany her.

However, someone was faster than her!

Zhou Yunyi, who had been planning this for a long time, darted to Qin Wangchuan's side like a cat smelling fish, joining the group without hesitation, his position perfectly chosen.

'This is ridiculous! The Myriad Dao Book Palace is related to Cultivation Resources; I'm just going to latch onto this biggest benefactor.'

'Once I get the resources, I'll eat pills like they're food, and go into seclusion like I'm sleeping. Then I'll amaze everyone!'

Zhou Yunyi's mind was racing with calculations; he had already envisioned the scene of him displaying his divine abilities in front of everyone and astonishing them all.

Xie Qingshang's steps were abruptly halted by Zhou Yunyi's sudden intervention.

In that brief moment of hesitation, Qin Wangchuan was half-pushed and half-pulled towards the palace gate by Qin Zhaoer, and instantly disappeared into the halo of light.

"Xiao Qing, what's wrong? We should go in too." Someone asked softly from the side. It was a Prodigy from the Upper Thousand Provinces as her, whom she had recently met.

Xie Qingshang gazed at the departing figure, a barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes, and gently shook his head.

"It's nothing, let's go."

Having said that, she followed the crowd and stepped into the vast gate.
