Star Continent, Heavenly Profound Palace.

The Heaven's Origin Palace was once one of the nine great sacred lands of the Star Continent, and it had even produced the strongest warrior in the Star Continent, the Heaven's Origin Sovereign. Therefore, it shone for countless years and gave birth to countless legendary figures on the Star Continent. However, with the sudden disappearance of the Heaven's Origin Sovereign, the myth of the Heaven's Origin Palace shattered instantly. To this day, it has fallen out of the ranking of the nine great sacred lands.

However, because of the legend of Tianyuan Saint Master back then, Tianyuan Holy Palace is still a holy land for countless cultivators' pursuit of dreams!

Of course, the most famous thing about Tiangyuan Saint Palace today is naturally the nine celestial maidens known as the Nine Immortals of Heaven!

And today is the day when Tiangyuan Shenggong, a famous sect, holds its once-in-three-years open recruitment ceremony. Even though Tiangyuan Shenggong's status is not as high as it used to be, because of the presence of Tianyuan Nine Immortals, countless young people who dream of becoming cultivators have come here.

Before dawn, even before the recruitment had begun, the square outside the gates of Tiangyuan Holy Palace was already teeming with people.

One of them, wearing a black robe with the Azure Dragon on the left and the White Tiger on the right, stood out.

He wasn't extraordinary because of his talent, but because of his background. He was the son of Ye Haotien, the national general of the Canglong Dynasty, the most powerful dynasty within a radius of dozens. His name was Ye Xiu.

"Look at that fool making a fool of himself again."

It's a pity, Ye Haitian single-handedly guarded the Canglong Dynasty, no one dared to take even a sliver. Yet, he gave birth to such a foolish son.

"Well, I heard he does everything except practice. "

“This fool isn’t even cultivating, what is he doing here? Does he still want to enter the Heavenly Origin Saint Palace?”

"Just him? Even if the Tiānyuán Saint Palace had fallen, it wouldn't be up to him!"

There was a buzz of discussion among the crowd, but it sounded like the buzzing of mosquitoes because standing beside Ye Xiu was a muscular man wielding a Qinglong sword. That was Fan Tong, the first underling of Ye Haottian, known as the Butcher. Countless generals had fallen to his Qinglong sword.

Although his voice was soft, Fan Tong was still a formidable figure. He could hear everything from all directions; not a single word escaped his ears.

It's jarring, but he's not wrong. The young master in front of him is good at nothing except eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring around.

The past two days, for some reason, he just had to come to the Heavenly Origin Saint Palace. With his understanding of the young master, it's probably related to the Nine Immortals of Heavenly Origin in the Heavenly Origin Saint Palace.

"Hiss...Ah..." Ye Xiu suddenly cried out in pain.

Fan Tong was startled. "Grandfather, Grandfather..."

Ye Xiu's face flushed red, then turned black and blue. It frightened Fan Tong so much that he was speechless. Ye Xiu had been suffering from madness since his youth, and it would occasionally attack him. But never had it been this abnormal.

However, after a few breaths, Ye Xiu's face returned to normal.

Fan Tong let out a breath and thought to himself, "I guess grandpa's condition is serious this time, but thankfully I'm okay."

Ye Xiu blinked his eyes, looking at the sea of people around him, and was directly stunned.

Wow, what the heck? Wasn't he just watching a movie at home in the middle of the night?

How did you get here?

Isn't it here yet?

For a moment, a memory flooded Ye Xiu's mind.

Ye Xiu was stunned again, "I... did I cross over while watching a movie?"

Ye Xiu once again investigated his own memories.

It's true, he time traveled!

Ye Xiu had read novels about transmigration, but this was too much.

At the very least, let him get his satisfaction.

After a period of time, Ye Xiu calmed down and discovered that his transmigration was surprisingly high-level. He had transmigrated into the son of the national general of the Canglong Dynasty! The only drawback was that he would occasionally be swept away by the wind.

He indulged in everything, from food and drink to gambling and prostitution, which perfectly suited Ye Xiu's tastes.

Legend has it that the Tiansheng Palace possesses nine fairy-like celestial maidens, each resembling a fairy descending from heaven. As for Ye Xiu, who indulges in every pleasure, he naturally wants to witness the peerless beauty of the Nine Celestial Maidens of Tiansheng.

"Fan Tong, how long have we been waiting?" Ye Xiu said very naturally.

Fan Tong held the Qinglong sword tightly, looked up at the just-risen sun, and said, "It's been an hour and a half already, Master, don't worry, it should be soon."

Ye Xiu has always been like this, impatient. Fan Tong was used to it, and besides, this time he just came to watch the show. Fan Tong didn't expect anything either.

As soon as the words were uttered, a pure white cloud drifted down from above the massive mountain gate. It seemed like divine energy descended, bathing everything in its radiance. Countless people looked up in awe and wonder.

One could only see a white-haired, white-bearded old man with a kind face sitting atop the clouds. He wore a white robe and possessed an otherworldly air. Beside him were numerous young men in star-patterned robes, clearly disciples of the Tianyuan Saint Palace.

"Esteemed scholars, I am the examiner for this year's entrance examination, responsible for evaluating your performance." The examiner smiled faintly, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Over the years, the number of talented disciples entering Tiangyuan Holy Palace has been increasing. Who knows how many more will arrive this year?

For many years, the scene has been dazzling and fiery, with everyone enthusiastically excited!

Ye Xiu merely raised his eyes for a glance, and didn't react much. After all, he was just here to watch the show. However, seeing that it was an old man, he felt a little disappointed. The Nine Immortals hadn't appeared yet, so wanting to catch a glimpse of their elegance probably wasn't possible.

Let's get straight to the point.

As they spoke, the elder's whisk in his hand swished. Suddenly, ten massive pillars rose from the square, each topped with nine enormous stars.

This is the Nine Stars Pillar. The higher one's aptitude, the more stars will light up. Those who light up two stars are qualified to enter the Heavenly Origin Holy Palace.

Everyone looked on in awe. A test of aptitude like the Nine Star Pillar was something only the Heavenly Origin Saint Palace could produce, even the Canglong Dynasty didn't have one.

However, those strict requirements posed a challenge for many people.

To ignite two stars is not easy, for even igniting one star is already considered the mark of a genius. A genius possesses a level of comprehension that surpasses ordinary individuals. As for igniting two, in the eyes of ordinary cultivators, it is already considered the pinnacle of talent.

And above these two, basically one in ten thousand people wouldn't be able to find one.

In the elder's hand was a *** with nine beads. He threw it directly, and not far from the Nine Stars Pillar, nine gigantic stars were suspended in mid-air. They were arranged haphazardly, yet possessed an inexplicable mystery.

The elder continued, "Of course, if anyone can solve the Nine Stars Heavenly Yuan Array, even if the Nine Stars Pillars haven't met the requirements, they can also be a disciple of my Heavenly Yuan Saint Palace."

This Nine Star Heavenly Origin Array is not simple. It is said to have been personally created by the Heavenly Origin Saint Lord back then. If one can unravel the Nine Star Heavenly Origin Array, it would be equivalent to obtaining a pass to cultivate the Ten Thousand Stars Heavenly Origin Technique.

"Hmph, over the past few centuries, no more than ten people have been able to unravel the Nine Star Celestial Array. It's just a pipe dream!"

Discussions were abuzz with incessant murmurs.

Regarding the Nine Star Heavenly Array, Ye Xiu glanced at it and directly skimmed over it. For someone like him, these things were unimportant.

"Alright, first up..."

As the voice of the examining elder fell, the examination officially began.

One by one, men stood before the Jiuxingzhu. Most of them had a foundation, so more than seven people had lit up a star. As for those who didn't light up any stars, they hadn't appeared yet.

But obviously, one star is not enough, it's a direct elimination.

As for the other three, the vast majority have lit up two stars.

Above the two stars shines yet another.

>Hundreds of people have tested it so far, and the highest rating is only four stars.

"Azure Dragon Dynasty, Ye Xiu."

"

The Canglong Dynasty, Moon Wuyue...

Ye Xiu walked to the Nine Star Pillar.

Ye Xiu paused for a moment.

Suddenly, Ye Xiu asked the elder very seriously: "Excuse me Elder, how do you use these Nine Star Pillars?"

Upon hearing this, the examination elder was stunned. I went, there are still people who don't even know how to use the Nine Star Pillar?

Even if one has never seen the Nine Star Pillar, it is common knowledge among martial cultivators.

Suddenly, bursts of laughter echoed throughout the entire square!

The elder's face darkened, and he couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the Tianyuan Holy Palace was truly so weak?

What kind of crap has shown up?

However, out of respect, the elder truthfully replied: "Gather your star power in your palm and channel it through your palm into the Nine Star Pillar."

What is Xingli?

Before, he was all about eating, drinking, gambling and whoring. He knew nothing about cultivation.

Ye Xiu nodded dumbly, pressing his palm down.

As soon as the palm touched it, a wave of excited murmurs suddenly swept through the entire square.

Ye Xiu was stunned. Could it be that he truly was a peerless expert?

He looked up and saw, beside him, a young man with fair features dressed in white. On his Nine Star Pillar, seven stars were lit!

The Elder Examiner's whole body was trembling with excitement. He had hit the jackpot! Since he took office as the Elder Examiner thirty years ago, this was the first time he had encountered a peerless genius who had all seven stars lit up.

"Hurry... Hurry and report your name!" The examiner elder's heart pounded, his hands trembled, and his voice shook.

Bai Nian smiled slightly, "Reporting to the elder, I am Bai Long Dynasty Yue Guan Major General's son, Yue Wuya."

Ye Xiu was in trouble.

Because in his Nine Star Chart, not to mention a single star, even a tiny speck couldn't be found.

After Yue Wuyaya finished speaking, she turned her head to glance at Ye Xiu, a playful smirk on the corner of her lips as she said, "Trash!"

Laughter echoed continuously.

Ye Xiu, standing side-by-side with Yue Wuya, presented a stark contrast. One was an unparalleled genius who had ignited seven stars, while the other... was nothing more than trash.

There is nothing comparable.

Both were sons of generals, both with flowing excellent bloodlines. One inherited and even surpassed, the other was truly deserving of being called a failure.

“It is said that General Yue Guan and General Ye Haitian have been at odds with each other for years, always vying for the position of Grand Marshal. Now, Yue Wuya has lit up seven stars and will surely become a core disciple under the elders. As for Ye Xiu, he's simply a laughing stock. It seems the position of Grand Marshal is about to change hands very soon.”

Hearing the word "废" was very upsetting to Ye Xiu, especially since it came from Yue Wuya's mouth.

According to his memory, Yue Wuya was considered his best playmate when he was a child, and Yue Wuya's father was also someone Ye Haotien had personally promoted.

But over these years, Yue Guan has not only shown no gratitude, but has even exerted himself to the utmost to usurp his father's position as the National General.

As for Yue Wuya, he repeatedly played tricks and mocked him.

So Ye Xiu was very unhappy.

As everyone left, he inadvertently glanced at the nine crooked stars floating in mid-air not far away.

His eyes fixed.

That thing was attracting him, and it was a very strong feeling.

Looking at Ye Xiu for a long time without a sound, the examiner elder became somewhat angry, "Aren't you leaving?"

Fan Tong was a little flustered, "Oh no, did Grandpa catch a cold again?"

Suddenly, a voice exploded like a bomb in everyone's ears.

"Elder, should there be no limitations to breaking the Nine Stars Heavenly Yuan Array?"
