Starting With 100 Million Lives

Chapter 1042: Chapter 1042: Dare to Bet?

What is a genius?

In front of Qiu Yuxuan, the other talents participating in the assessment seemed utterly mediocre.

Just a moment ago, Xu Xinzhong, who was exceptionally admitted to the Central Courtyard, could no longer utter a word.

Even though he was Emperor Realm Seventh Layer, while Qiu Yuxuan was only Emperor Realm Fifth Layer.

Even though he entered the Central Courtyard, with a great chance to become an Immortal Official in the future.

But he deeply understood that he and this woman were not of the same world.

She was not someone he could ever reach up to.

To form a good relationship with her and be remembered by her in the future was already a tremendous achievement.

Qiu Yuxuan, dressed in a pure white palace gown, slowly stepped out of the testing Immortal Array, her expression still serene, neither joyful nor sorrowful.

Just like an Empress walking out of her palace.

Glancing at the scene, which was as silent as a chicken, she parted her crimson lips and broke the silence.

"It’s time for the next round."

The Celestial Venerable Du Zhen, the Eighth-Grade Immortal Official hosting the assessment, finally awoke as if from a dream.

"Ah, yes, yes..."

Being instructed by someone merely at the Emperor Realm Fifth Layer, he surprisingly felt no dissatisfaction but rather that it was perfectly natural.

He hastily adjusted his expression, just about to declare the start.

At this moment, more than a dozen people had already flown into the hall out of thin air.

And the person leading them was clad in the Seventh-grade Immortal Official’s robe, their realm far surpassing that of a Celestial Venerable!

"Welcome, Supreme!"

"Greetings, Supreme!"

Seeing the Supreme, who was a Seventh-grade Immortal Official, make an appearance, the immortals participating in the assessment were all the more astonished.

Could this be the Great Chief of King Jia’s Dojo?

Even such a figure was alerted by Qiu Yuxuan’s assessment?

Yet, upon careful thought, it felt warranted.

Who could compare to her talent?

She deserved any level of attention!

"Who was just being assessed?"

In fact, he didn’t even need to ask, as everyone’s gaze was already fixed on Qiu Yuxuan, who stood outside the array.

"Is it you?"

"Impressive, truly impressive!"

The Great Chief wore a look of delight.

If it weren’t prohibited to form sects within the Celestial Palace, he would have been hard-pressed not to take her as his disciple on the spot.

Yet, even so, he regarded her as a treasure!

"What is your name?"

"Qiu Yuxuan."

Facing the Supreme, Qiu Yuxuan still maintained her calm and unruffled demeanor.

The more she was like this, the more the Great Chief nodded in approval.

With such demeanor, this woman is destined to be extraordinary in the future!

He might be facing a giant fan standing at the pinnacle of the Primordial Immortal Realm in the future!

"Very well, is her assessment over?"

Celestial Venerable Du Zhen replied respectfully, "Only the Celestial Heart remains untested."

"Then hurry up and test it!" The Supreme seemed somewhat eager.

"Yes!"

Qiu Yuxuan entered the Immortal Array for testing the Celestial Heart.

Moments later, the entire hall once again went wild because of her.

"Tier Seven Divine Grade!"

"Heavens, a Supreme Divine-grade Celestial Heart?"

"Unbelievable!"

"I always thought a Divine-grade Celestial Heart didn’t exist..."

"This is simply incomparable!"

Inside the hall, all the Celestial Venerables were already looking at Qiu Yuxuan with eyes full of reverence.

Though it was only her first day here, she had already conquered everyone present.

And that Supreme was muttering to himself.

"Tier Seven... it has reached the seventh tier of the Daoist Heart!"

Ordinary immortals prioritize the level of the Celestial Heart.

These true experts, however, value the quality of the Daoist Heart more.

The Celestial Heart level is merely an indicator of loyalty to the Heavenly Dao.

It’s a rigid demand of the Celestial Palace and is not much help in battle.

But a Tier Seven Daoist Heart is the true talent.

The higher the quality of the Daoist Heart, the more stable and powerful the laws it condenses in the future.

"Such quality even surpasses my own!"

"How powerful will her future laws be?"

Hearing this, the others were at a loss for words.

Her Daoist Heart quality exceeds that of the Supreme, is she even human?

To be honest, even Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but pay attention.

It seems that the testing Immortal Array in the Abandoned Land back then didn’t measure her limits at all!

This woman is surely the Immortal Mother Reincarnation.

"Qiu Yuxuan, to the Upper Court!"

Upper Court Immortals have all the rights of those in the Central Courtyard and are also eligible to become an Apprentice Immortal Official in advance.

They are on equal footing with all the Celestial Venerables within the Daoist Field, can visit and consult with them at any time, can enter any critical area of the Daoist Field, and even have the right to participate in discussions.

Currently, King Jia’s Dojo only has four Upper Court Immortals.

Most of these four have risen gradually through years of effort.

A newcomer reaching the Upper Court like Qiu Yuxuan is unprecedented, even among other King-level Dojos.

Yet, at this moment, everyone felt it was only right.

She deserved such treatment.

"Qiu Yuxuan, congratulations!"

"Welcome, Fellow Daoist Qiu, to join our King Jia’s Dojo!"

Several Celestial Venerables came forward enthusiastically, among them even a Ninth-grade Immortal Official.

And they all directly addressed her as a fellow Daoist.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, please, please, I’ll take you to the Upper Court to choose your Cave Mansion!"

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, is there anything you want to ask as you first come to the Daoist Field?"

This scene filled everyone with envy, yet no one felt any jealousy.

In the face of such terrifying talent, they had long given up the thought of competing with her and could only look up to the Divine Lady.

Yet, amid the crowd of Celestial Venerables, Qiu Yuxuan remained calm and composed.

Perhaps, in her eyes, this was the treatment she naturally deserved, that she was meant to conquer this place.

"No, I plan to finish watching this assessment."

Her gaze deliberately turned towards Jiang Cheng, and only then did she rarely show a slight smile.

To others, this was the first time the Divine Lady smiled.

Enough to let them savor for a long time.

But to Brother Cheng, this was unequivocally a mockery mixed with provocation, display, and ridicule.

And this woman didn’t forget to transmit a message mentally.

"I’ve successfully entered the Upper Court."

"Next, I will witness you being kicked out."

"Tut-tut, poor old fellow, cherish this last chance to share a space with me!"

If others could hear the content of this message, the so-called aloof Divine Lady image might instantly crumble.

Yet, Jiang Cheng himself remained leisurely seated on the high-backed chair, legs crossed in ease.

"Just the Upper Court, no idea why you’re so pleased."

"Some people who can’t get in are just talking tough." Qiu Yuxuan was particularly eager to see Brother Cheng’s embarrassed expression now.

"Are you so confident?"

"Isn’t it natural for me to have a little confidence facing a pitiable loser?"

Brother Cheng raised his brows slightly, showing a mischievous smile.

"What if I can enter the Upper Court too?"

"If I get in, half of your future gains go to me, dare to bet?"

If he had mentioned entering King Jia’s Dojo, Qiu Yuxuan might have suspected he was plotting some devious method.

After all, the previous Celestial Venerable was his ’acquaintance,’ who might have sneakily arranged his entry.

But the Upper Court was beyond any permission that Celestial Venerable could grant.

Hence, it was absolutely impossible! This gamble was hers to win!
