Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

Just like before, after announcing the start of the assessment, Ji Boying directly entered the stone gate.

It still felt familiar, the moment he stepped into the stone gate, there was a kind of dizzying discomfort, as if everything was twisted and turned upside down.

However, this time what came into view was no longer the closed grand hall, but...

A pitch-black darkness where you couldn't see your own hand.

"This... is the assessment point for the additional assessment?" Ji Boying murmured.

Just as he was about to use his divine sense to explore the surrounding environment... he suddenly discovered that his divine soul seemed to be suppressed, unable to be released at all.

Even his cultivation level, only the third level of Qi Refining remained.

As for his physical realm, under the suppression, it was now just an empty body, unable to mobilize any blood and qi.

"What's going on?" Ji Boying couldn't help but feel a bit frightened without his divine soul and physical realm.

He instinctively reached for the storage ring on his finger.

But just then, the cold voice of the old man suddenly sounded.

"The assessment begins!"

"Please break the prohibition within the specified time, relying solely on your own talismanic methods without using external forces."

"If the prohibition is broken, the assessment is passed!"

"Reminder: During this assessment, for each prohibition broken, you will receive an additional reward! If there is extra time, please try to break as many prohibitions as possible!"

As soon as the voice fell, Ji Boying felt a violent tremor under his feet.

Before long...

The originally pitch-black surroundings suddenly lit up with dim candlelight.

Looking up, Ji Boying found himself in a long tunnel covered in moss at this moment.

As for in front of him, there was a transparent barrier with flowing spiritual light.

If he guessed correctly, this barrier was the prohibition mentioned by the old man earlier.

He looked around and within reach, there was a mahogany table.

On the tabletop, there was a thick stack of talisman paper and a talisman pen.

With just a quick glance, Ji Boying walked directly to the mahogany table and began to draw talismans.

Since it was about breaking the prohibition, he might as well start by drawing a four-star universal breaking talisman to test its strength.

The breaking talisman was just an ordinary four-star talisman, both in terms of the principle of formation and the composition of the runes, it was simpler than a same-level thunder derivation talisman.

Even...

In terms of the difficulty of drawing, it was not as difficult as a Heavenly Thunder talisman.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a top-quality breaking talisman was completed.

Boom!

Ji Boying flicked his finger.

The breaking talisman in his hand turned into a stream of light and struck the barrier.

A raging spiritual storm exploded.

However...

The transparent barrier in front did not tremble at all, not even leaving a trace.

Ji Boying raised an eyebrow.

But it was also within reason. If a random four-star breaking talisman could break the barrier, then the difficulty of this additional assessment would be less than the first round.

Just giving the barrier a slight glance, Ji Boying continued to focus on making talismans.

This time, Ji Boying didn't continue to draw four-star breaking talismans, but started to draw small five-thunder derivation talismans.

Although breaking talismans specialized in prohibitions, in terms of power, they were still more than a star and a half weaker than thunder derivation talismans.

Like this...

After about half an hour passed.

A top-quality Binghuo Yanglei derivation talisman was completed.

Ji Boying didn't rush to activate the talisman, but with a slight movement of his mind, he infused a bit of starlight from his sea of consciousness into it.

Since he was already prepared to break the prohibition, why not integrate his own life symbol and directly unleash his strongest attack?

After all, his life symbol was also one of his own talismanic methods and couldn't be considered an external force!

A moment later.

Ji Boying suddenly flicked his finger.

In an instant, the violent Fire Element and the extinguished Thunder Element mutually Integrated Union, colliding, and finally reacting violently!

After the integration of the original divine symbol, the originally highly destructive Fire Element and Thunder Element have their power increased by two and a half times!

At the moment of the explosive detonation of the symbol, the empty space in front of me appeared visibly distorted and compressed!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The continuous detonation caused the originally sturdy transparent prohibition to start shaking violently.

Until the riotous spiritual power after the reaction of the Fire Element and Thunder Element completely dissipated...

On this originally indestructible prohibition, numerous hairline cracks finally appeared!

It's feasible!

Seeing this scene, Ji Boying's eyes brightened.

If this is the intensity, then... he only needs to draw three more derivative symbols of the Fire Element and Thunder Element to completely break this prohibition!

"But..."

Ji Boying calmly took out a piece of talisman paper from the side and contemplated while sketching.

"My cultivation is currently suppressed at the Triple Refinement of Qi, and I can't mobilize my blood and qi. Plus, the spiritual energy in this tunnel is thin, so recovering spiritual power is a big problem!"

"In this state, I can at most finish drawing this derivative symbol of the Fire Element and Thunder Element, and then I will be exhausted and unable to continue drawing."

"I also don't know... how long this assessment will last."

---

Fufeng Main Hall.

Gu Xuyao, as usual, was preparing to go to the Steward Hall to handle the handover procedures and prepare for the next task after finishing the previous one.

Since the establishment of the three major rankings by the headquarters, he has changed his lazy style and started to attend various tasks diligently.

No matter what it is, as long as he contributes enough, he accepts it!

There's no other way...

Even the worst contribution ranking offers extremely tempting resources!

By working hard and entering the top fifty of the rankings, he might be able to break free from the shackles of Nascent Soul and achieve Soul Formation!

If Gu Xuyao had been stuck in the early or middle stage of Nascent Soul, he wouldn't have had such aspirations and it would have been fine to spend his later years peacefully in the commercial business.

But fate is unpredictable.

Not long ago, he unexpectedly obtained an opportunity during a mission and broke through to the late stage of Nascent Soul in one fell swoop.

But even so, it's still not enough.

After all, there is still a considerable distance between the late stage of Nascent Soul and Soul Formation.

He didn't know if it was heaven's will or a genuine favor.

Not long ago, a senior brother who stayed at the headquarters told him that because he had frequently escorted flying boats over the years, he had made significant contributions and had a great chance of entering the top one hundred of the rankings!

As long as he worked harder, took on more major tasks, and rushed into the top fifty of the rankings, he would be able to obtain Soul Formation spiritual treasures!

Soul Formation spiritual treasures!

Among Nascent Soul cultivators, he is still considered young, with several hundred years of lifespan remaining. If he focused on cultivation and achieved the perfection of Nascent Soul, coupled with Soul Formation spiritual treasures, he might truly become a Soul Formation Sovereign!

By then, he would have a lot more lifespan, experience wonders from all over the world, and taste all the fine wines in the world!

Thinking of this, Gu Xuyao couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

However...

Just as he was about to speed up and quickly go to accept the task, a voice came from behind.

"Junior Brother Gu!"

Turning around, he saw a middle-aged cultivator wearing a blue standard robe and a long crown hurrying towards him.

"Senior Brother?"

Gu Xuyao murmured and also hurriedly walked forward.

"Why are you in such a hurry, Senior Brother?"

"Quick! Quick! Come with me to the main hall!"

The middle-aged cultivator didn't have time to explain much. He grabbed Gu Xuyao and said anxiously, "Today, the Master of the Hall personally invited the Mo Fu Master to enter the Ten Thousand Paths Tower! If nothing unexpected happens, the Mo Fu Master will be able to break through the third level of the tower this time!"

"The Master said that as long as the Mo Fu Master can enter the top fifty of the tower after this challenge, everyone in the main hall who attends the ceremony will receive one hundred contribution points!"

"One hundred contribution points, enough for you to travel to the Eastern Continent once, Junior Brother."

While being pulled along by his senior brother, Gu Xuyao's thoughts were in a whirl.

Involuntarily, he thought of the young Ji Fu Master.

Because of the appearance of the Mo Fu Master back then, Ji Boying was not recruited by the Fufeng Hall.

I wonder... how he's doing now.

I heard that the qualification assessment of the Ten Thousand Paths Pavilion has started again recently. If that Ji Fu Master joins the Fufeng Hall, he should be able to catch up this year, right?
