Open up and break into another world

"How old are you?"

This question really stumped Xu Ming.

Cultivation knows no years, and the cold ends without knowing the year. Unknowingly, Xu Ming realized that he had actually walked on the path of martial arts for decades.

For ordinary people, decades are undoubtedly a very long period of time. But on the path of martial arts, a mere few decades really feel like the snap of a finger.

At the demigod level, a casual retreat lasts for thousands of years; a casual comprehension of a secret technique lasts for tens of thousands of years... Decades really can't accomplish anything; it's not even enough for a nap.

And Xu Ming, in just a few decades, possessed the combat power of the "Eighteenth Order"; even in the God Domain, no one would believe such a thing!

Xu Ming was about to answer his real age, but he felt that it was a bit too high-profile and suspected of showing off. Moreover, the key is that Xu Ming strongly felt that no one would believe him if he told the truth!

It's really unbelievable!

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Ming falsely reported his age: "I'm already over five thousand years old..."

Over five thousand years old!

Xu Ming directly magnified his age a hundred times!

But what Xu Ming didn't expect was that even though he had tried his best to keep a low profile, he still shocked the people around him.

"What!? Five thousand years old!?" City Lord Naihe's eyes widened, looking at Xu Ming as if he were looking at an incredibly terrifying monster.

"As expected of a ten-star genius..." City Lord Naihe couldn't help but sigh, "In just five thousand years, the comprehension of the Heavenly Dao has reached 'one foot and one inch'... Monstrous! Monstrous!"

Even in the God Domain, those who can achieve demigod status within ten thousand years are rare.

And those who can cultivate to the extreme of demigod status within ten thousand years—that is, the realm of "one foot of Dao"—are even rarer among the rare! They can be called the most outstanding geniuses of each era in the God Domain!

"What was I doing when I was five thousand years old?" City Lord Naihe couldn't help but recall—when he was five thousand years old, he seemed to have just achieved the Dao Lord realm; he became a nominal disciple under an ordinary god.

City Lord Naihe compared himself to Xu Ming again, and suddenly felt ashamed—Xu Ming was only five thousand years old, and he was also born in the Microcosm World, but he had already cultivated a Heavenly Dao to the extreme of demigod status.

Compared with a genius like Xu Ming, City Lord Naihe was completely convinced!

Fortunately, City Lord Naihe didn't know that Xu Ming said he was "five thousand years old," but he had actually magnified his age a hundred times! If Xu Ming reported his real age, City Lord Naihe would probably be shocked to doubt his life!

"Five thousand years old!?" Xu Bin and other geniuses from the Microcosm World were equally dumbfounded.

Xu Bin remembered that when he was five thousand years old, he was only a Dao Venerable; however, he had already been praised as an unparalleled genius!

Other geniuses from the Microcosm World also sighed:

"When I was five thousand years old, I seemed to be just a Dao Lord..."

"When I was five thousand years old, I had just become a Dao Venerable..."

"When I was five thousand years old..."

One by one, the geniuses of the Microcosm World sighed more and more; they felt that compared with Xu Ming, their achievements at the age of five thousand were just like children playing in the mud!—They were not on the same level at all!

"Five thousand years old..." Even the ten arrogant geniuses from the God Domain couldn't believe it.

"Impossible! It's impossible for you to be only five thousand years old!" Qian Yishang shouted directly, "If you were born in the God Domain, there would be hope to reach such a realm within five thousand years; but you were born in the Microcosm World, without the guidance of a super power, it is absolutely impossible to do it!—You must have lied about your age!"

Xu Ming did lie about his age... But Xu Ming's real age is much lower than the age he reported!

However, Xu Ming didn't bother to explain anything to Qian Yishang—what's the point of explaining to a clown?

...

After the shock, the test continued.

Great Power Dao Traces?

Xu Ming, Xu Bin, and other geniuses from the Microcosm World had obviously never heard of this term.

"A bunch of ignorant natives!" Bi Liu looked disdainful, "Great Power Dao Traces are the 'traces of Dao' left by the super powers of the God Domain when they make a move. The super powers use incredible means to preserve the 'Dao Traces' in the jade bi; watching the Great Power Dao Traces will be of great benefit to the comprehension of the Heavenly Dao!"

"Oh..." Xu Ming understood.

Moreover, Xu Ming could hear from Bi Liu's tone that the opportunity to watch the Great Power Dao Traces was probably very rare even in the God Domain.

At this time, City Lord Naihe said again: "The Dao Trace Hall contains a total of three hundred and eight Great Power Dao Traces!—Among them, most of them are Dao Traces left by ordinary great powers; but there is one that is a Dao Trace left by an 'Emperor-level Existence', which is extremely precious!"

Emperor-level Existence!!

Qian Yishang's eyes exploded with amazing desire—he came for the Dao Trace of this 'Emperor-level Existence'!

The other geniuses also had fiery eyes.

Although Xu Ming and other geniuses from the Microcosm World didn't know what kind of existence the "Emperor-level Existence" was, they could guess with their toes—it must be a very awesome existence!

"Everyone must want to watch the Dao Trace of this 'Emperor-level Existence', right?" City Lord Naihe smiled and said, "However, the Dao Trace of the Emperor-level Existence will be less every time you watch it; moreover, you can only watch it once in a short period of time... So, according to the old rules, how to distribute the three hundred and eight Great Power Dao Traces will be based on the ranking of the first stage test!"

"The ones ranked in the front choose first, the ones ranked in the back choose later, and each person can only choose one Great Power Dao Trace!"

According to the test ranking?

Qian Yishang couldn't help but become nervous—his Heavenly Dao compatibility test must be inferior to Xu Ming; however, his Heavenly Dao comprehension level is "seven feet and seven inches", far better than Xu Ming's "one foot and one inch"! Adding the two results together, Qian Yishang felt that his ranking should be ahead of Xu Ming.

I'm ranked first!

Xu Ming is ranked second!

...

Xu Ming didn't speak; but in fact, he was quite interested in the Dao Trace of that "Emperor-level Existence".

City Lord Naihe announced: "The first place in the first stage test is..."

Qian Yishang's gaze suddenly became extremely hot: "It's me! It's me!"

Xu Ming was calm on the surface, but he was actually a little nervous in his heart—after all, his test score in Heavenly Dao comprehension level was indeed too poor!
