Yan Yaoting stared at Yun Lintian for a while and said faintly. "He''s indeed strong. I have never seen such a powerful concealing technique before."


    Yang Chen remained silent. Underneath his ck demon mask, his eyes were shining with fighting spirits. He would certainly find a chance to fight with Yun Lintian.


    "This person is really strange. It''s like he is possessed by something." Shen Liqiu said in doubt as she noticed Yang Chen.


    Before Yun Lintian was about to say something, he suddenly saw Wen Tian appear on the Azure Pce''s tform with a beautiful woman in her twenties. This woman might look young, but she was actually the peak of the Divine Ascending Tribtion Realm expert.


    With every step she took, an unfathomable aura radiated out, making her seemingly detach from the world.


    At this moment, Jian Xu and the other elders slowly got up from their seats and said. "We wee Supreme Elder Wen."


    The woman, Wen Xia, smiled gently and said. "There''s no need to be polite, everyone. Please sit down."


    As she spoke, she calmly sat down on the throne-like seat specially prepared for her while beckoning Wen Tian to sit beside her.


    Jian Xu looked at everyone briefly and said. "Since our esteemed guests have arrived, we shall start the Great Assessment immediately."


    Following that, Jian Han cupped his fists and spoke in a clear voice. "This old one is Heavenly Sword Pce''s First Elder Jian Han. I am d to meet all the heroes and outstanding youths today. I represent our Heavenly Pce Sword to thank everyone for turning up at Heavenly Sword Divine City today."


    "Our Heavenly Sword Pce hasn''t openly recruited a new batch of disciples for many years…."


    p "Is it him?" While Jian Han was giving the opening speech, Wen Xia nced at Yun Lintian and asked softly.</anda>


    Wen Tian responded. "Yes."


    "Do you know that his current appearance is fake?" Wen Xia asked with a faint smile.


    Wen Tian answered truthfully. "I didn''t know until Xing Renshu told mest night."


    "Is he trying to pull you in?" Wen Xia asked further.


    "Yes. Lin Yun''s true identity is Yun Lintian, who wreaked havoc on the Western Continent a few months back, and he''s likely to have the legendary Tree of Life with him." Wen Tian exined.


    "What do you think about him?" Wen Xia said.


    "If we can''t be his friend, we must eliminate him now." Wen Tian said tly. "I prefer the first choice."


    "Your judgment is not wrong. However, do you really think you can befriend him?" Wen Xia said with a meaningful smile.


    Wen Tian went silent immediately. As a true sessor of the Azure Pce, his vision was broader than his peers. With Yun Lintian''s talent, he was destined to be the Azure Pce''s enemy no matter what.


    "Sometimes, I feel sorry for you." Wen Xia seemed to say to herself. "If you hadn''t been born in the Azure Pce, your life would be much better than this."


    Wen Tian raised his head to look at her and remained silent.


    At this moment, Jian Han''s opening speech had already finished. He exined everything about the rules of the assessment.


    The Great Assessment consisted of three stages: sword affinity, swordprehending, and sword battle. The final top 100 would be recruited, and the top 10 would be given a chance to participate in the Heavenly Sword Summit.


    "Now, all the participating disciplese up immediately for profound strength and sword affinity assessment." Jian Han looked at the crowd below.


    Around one hundred thousand participants came from all over the world to participate in this great assessment this time. With the field staff''s guidelines, everyone quickly lined up and put their palm on a profound assessing stone one by one.


    Yun Lintian looked at the lively scene with an approving nod. The Heavenly Sword Pce didn''t use profound strength to judge the participants. Even someone with the Foundation Profound Realm''s first level could participate with no problem.


    This assessed one''s innate talent purely, which was extremely fair in his opinion. Those with powerful backgrounds, but no talent, were simply of no use here.


    Though the process was fast, it was nothing more than boring to the top figures on the high tforms. They simply found some topics to pass the time during this period.


    An hourter, the first stage hade to an end. There were more than seventy thousand people left on the scene. This number surprised everyone slightly. It seemed the participants in this batch were genuinely talented.


    "Congrattions to everyone who passed the first stage. We will give you five minutes to adjust your condition before proceeding to the next stage." Jian Han spoke clearly.


    "In the second stage, everyone has to concentrate on your mind and try your best toprehend what ising to you. Once you seed, a spiritual sword will appear before you, which means you have passed the second stage."


    As he finished his sentence, a colossus totem suddenly fell from the sky andnded at the center of the avenue. This totem stood approximately 10 meters. It was made of white spiritual stones, and countless runes were engraved on it all over the ce.


    "Hmm?" When Yun Lintian nced at the totem, he suddenly found himself standing in an open space with nothing around him.


    Before he could think of anything further, a shadowy figure carrying a long sword appeared in the distance and began to disy his sword art. Every move of the figure exuded an extraordinary sword intent that shook Yun Lintian''s soul.


    In the outside world, Jian Feng saw Yun Lintian close his eyes and was about to ask. He suddenly heard Qing Xiaoting''s voice ring out in his mind. "Don''t interrupt him."


    Jian Feng immediately understood everything. It should be Qing Xiaoting who activated the totem for Yun Lintian.


    Sitting in the front, Jian Xu and the other elders naturally noticed this, but they said nothing. However, they looked forward to seeing how Yun Lintian dealt with this.


    Inside the consciousness world, Yun Lintian stared at the shadowy figure''s movements for a while and subconsciously moved along.


    As he took the first step, a red light appeared, coiling around his arm like a snake. On the second step, an orange light emerged and curled around his arm just like the red light.


    A simr scene kept repeating every step he took until all the seven lightsbined into one brilliant rainbow…
