Open up and break into another world

However, Xu Ming in Naihe City was just a consciousness.

However, the original body of Xu Ming on the Endless Continent, as well as the two major clones, maintained constant connection and shared thoughts with the consciousness.

At this moment, the original body, the two major clones, and the temporarily condensed consciousness were all simultaneously condensing the "Flowers of the Dao" of the three Heavenly Daos of Wind, Water, and Lightning.

The Flower of the Wind Dao was incomparably sharp, as if it could tear and annihilate everything; at the same time, it also contained endless mysteries of change.

The Flower of the Water Dao encompassed everything, created everything, yet could also destroy everything. Water was supremely gentle, yet indestructible.

The Flower of the Lightning Dao contained a terrifying aura of destruction; but within this aura of destruction, there seemed to be brewing new life…

With the "Flowers of the Dao" of the three Heavenly Daos of Wind, Water, and Lightning condensed, Xu Ming had a total of four Heavenly Daos, reaching the level of a demigod!

“Now, my level of comprehension of the Heavenly Daos is at least ‘one foot and five inches,’ right?” Xu Ming thought to himself.

One foot and five inches…

Although compared to geniuses of the God Domain like Qianyi Shang, such a level of comprehension of the Heavenly Daos was far from sufficient; even compared to geniuses from other Microcosm Worlds, it was far behind!

However, it must be known that Xu Ming was only in his fifties; his cultivation years were only over thirty years!

What is the concept of thirty years in the God Domain?

Let me give you a simple example: in the God Domain, gods spend a very long time and effort to conceive offspring! For example, Qianyi Shang, from the time his mother became pregnant to the time he was born, it took thousands of years!

In other words, when Xu Ming was fifty years old, he had already reached his current terrifying state; while when Qianyi Shang was fifty years old, he was still a newly fertilized egg!

Compared to Xu Ming, Qianyi Shang's millions of years of life were completely wasted on a dog!

…

Three days passed in a flash.

The City Lord of Naihe said as he walked.

“As the name suggests, the Ninefold Realm is divided into nine levels!” The City Lord of Naihe said, “Passing through the Ninefold Realm depends entirely on strength! Passing through the first two levels proves that you have the strength to be almost invincible at the demigod level; passing through the third level proves that you have the strength of a god—of course, none of you thirty should be able to pass the first level!”

None of them can pass the first level!?

The geniuses from the Microcosm Worlds were very unconvinced. Although they didn't say anything, they all clenched their fists, their fighting spirit was high, and the meaning was obvious—we must pass the first level and show you!

“Haha, why are your fists clenched so tightly?” Bi Liu from the God Domain sneered, “Could it be that you think you can pass the first level just by clenching your fists tightly?”

“You natives of the Microcosm Worlds are really ignorant and fearless, and you don't even know how terrifying the ‘Ninefold Realm’ test is!”

“That's right, let alone you, even our Qianyi Shang, ‘Young Master Shang,’ wouldn't dare to say that he can pass the first level!”

“Hmph hmph! In our God Domain, the Ninefold Realm test is not about who can pass which level, but about who can last longer in the first level!”

The geniuses of the God Domain would seize every opportunity to ridicule the geniuses of the Microcosm Worlds to show their nobility!

The City Lord of Naihe said, “Indeed, under normal circumstances, this Ninefold Realm tests who can last longer in the first level!”

“But this time, it may not be the case!” Suddenly, Qianyi Shang spoke.

“Oh?” The City Lord of Naihe was slightly stunned.

The geniuses of the God Domain were also stunned, and then all showed admiration: “Young Master Shang, are you confident that you can pass the first level?”

Even the City Lord of Naihe looked at Qianyi Shang with some surprise—being able to pass the first level was not easy!

Qianyi Shang feigned modesty and said, “I had some insights in these three days, and I have made great progress! But I dare not say that I can definitely pass, I can only say that I have some confidence!”

Although Qianyi Shang had shown “as much” modesty as possible, everyone could see his smugness.

“Xu Ming!” Qianyi Shang looked at Xu Ming again and said with a faint smile, “This second stage of the test—passing through the Ninefold Realm—tests ‘strength’! This is not your forte, you have to work hard!”

Qianyi Shang's words seemed to be a kind reminder to Xu Ming to work hard, but everyone could hear the meaning of ridicule in his words.

Qianyi Shang's meaning was very simple—you, Xu Ming, are not strong enough!

“Hehe!” Xu Ming smiled indifferently.

As the saying goes: A full bottle doesn't shake, but a half-empty bottle does.

Whether or not one's strength is good is not something to be said with the mouth!

Xu Ming's current strength had already faintly surpassed the “Eighteenth Order”—although he was not clear what level this was at the demigod level, he could feel that it would definitely not be weaker than a clown like Qianyi Shang.

Therefore, Xu Ming, who was a “full bottle,” naturally didn't bother to argue with Qianyi Shang, who was a “half-empty bottle”—or rather, he simply disdained to argue, and would just use his strength to speak!

I also don't know what kind of expression Qianyi Shang would have when he saw Xu Ming's results in passing through the Ninefold Realm.

…

Soon, the City Lord of Naihe led the geniuses to a tall stone wall that was as smooth as a mirror.

The stone wall was bronze in color and did not have the slightest pressure.

“This is the Ninefold Realm!—There is a separate space-time within the stone wall. Walk to the stone wall, touch the stone wall, and you can start the assessment!” The City Lord of Naihe said, “Remember, this Ninefold Realm test is both an assessment and an opportunity, so make good use of it!—As for what the opportunity is, you will understand when the test begins!”

The City Lord of Naihe's words were addressed to the geniuses of the Microcosm Worlds. After all, the geniuses of the God Domain occasionally had the opportunity to come into contact with the Ninefold Realm, and they naturally knew these common sense things.

“Everyone has two chances to test, with the best result being the standard. The top ten in the ranking can enter the third stage, which is the final stage of the test!”

When the City Lord of Naihe said this, the ten geniuses from the God Domain all laughed: “The top ten in the ranking to enter the third stage of the test? Haha… In that case, what does the third stage of the test have to do with this group of natives from the Microcosm Worlds?”

In the eyes of the ten geniuses from the God Domain, with their strength, they would definitely take the top ten without any suspense!

“Hmph!” Qianyi Shang thought even more viciously in his heart, “Xu Ming, even if you are a ten-star genius with heaven-defying talent, you can only stop at this second stage! The King-level Trial mainly depends on strength; the position of the General's personal heir is definitely mine!”
