Path to the God

1Just as Liu Xing was pondering his thoughts, very quickly, Zhao Fangyuan and the others had already arrived at the top of the stage!    

    

"Today, our second round of promotion competition will begin. Next, This City Lord will introduce to everyone the details of the second round of promotion competition! "    

    

North Star City Lord Han Jinzhi spoke again, but his face was calm, and no one could tell what she was thinking.    

    

"The second round of promotion competition is a trial. This trial, will be held in Demon Beast Mountain Range! "    

    

After Han Jinzhi finished speaking, all the cultivator s looked at each other. Some knew about Demon Beast Mountain Range, but some didn't.    

    

"It's possible that many of the cultivator s do not understand much about the Demon Beast Mountain Range. Next, I'll first explain to you about the situation of the Demon Beast Mountain Range s …"    

    

Seeing the many cultivator discussing, Han Jinzhi immediately began to introduce the situation of the Demon Beast Mountain Range.    

    

The Demon Beast Mountain Range was also known as the Top Sky Mountain Range. It was at the center of the Beichuan Continent, and its exact location was near the Northern Gazing City. It was a huge and strange mountain range.    

    

The Demon Beast Mountain Range was circular in shape, like a cylinder that had been erected. It had a very high altitude and a strange magnetic field.    

    

To climb onto the Demon Beast Mountain Range, one had to have the strength to reach the Thunder suffering stage to be able to rely on their own movement techniques to fly up.    

    

Otherwise, in order to climb the Demon Beast Mountain Range, there was only one "Sky Stairway" that was close to vertical.    

    

The so-called Sky Stairway was actually a hole dug by a almighty being on a cliff so many years ago.    

    

The gashes were five meters long and one meter deep. They were five meters apart from each other and went all the way to the top.    

    

From a distance, it looked like a gigantic Heaven Stairway that pierced through the clouds.    

    

If common monk wanted to go up, he could only rely on his movement techniques. With the help of the Heaven Stairway, they were able to go up ladder after ladder.    

    

When you come down, you must do the same. If one wanted to fly down directly from above, they would be affected by the strange magnetic force. When one's strength was not at the Thunder suffering stage level, no matter how bad the movement technique was, even if the movement technique reached the Perfection Stage, they would still be smashed to pieces and be destroyed in body and spirit.    

    

As for the demon beasts above, their strength was not even at the seventh step, so they had to go up and down the Heaven Stairway.    

    

The seventh stage demon beast was the same as the seventh stage spirit beast, they had long since gained intelligence and their official Transformation into human were on par with the human Thunder suffering stage cultivator.    

    

And on Demon Beast Mountain Range, it was not a plain, but a true mountain range.    

    

However, the mountain range above was connected from beginning to end, forming four circles. Between the four circles were valleys.    

    

As for the four circles formed by the mountain range, they directly divided the Demon Beast Mountain Range into four parts: periphery, central, deep, and forbidden zone!    

    

Above Demon Beast Mountain Range was the Site of demon beasts. But above it, there were not only countless demon beasts, there were also all kinds of expensive and rare herbal medicine and all kinds of materials. It was a good place to train.    

    

Han Jinzhi spent a bit of time before she finally finished introducing the situation of the Demon Beast Mountain Range.    

    

"And your mission this time is to go to the Demon Beast Mountain Range, to stay there for a month, to find all kinds of herbal medicine and materials, and to massacre all kinds of demon beasts!"    

    

"The corpses of the herbal medicine and demon beasts are divided according to their levels.    

    

"After the trial ends, the herbal medicine s, ingredients, skin, flesh, tendons, bones, and endosperm that you will each obtain will all belong to yourselves. The Organizer will not take even a single one of your first level Spirit Grass!"    

    

"In the end, the total scores for all the herbal medicine in each cultivator will be taken into account. As your promotion competition's result this time, the top five hundred ranked cultivator will directly advance to the third round of promotion competition."    

    

"Regardless of the reason, cultivator who is ranked outside of the five hundred will be directly eliminated!"    

    

"Next, This City Lord will introduce the scoring methods for herbal medicine and demon beasts. All cultivator, please listen carefully!"    

    

As Han Jinzhi spoke, Liu Xing and the rest's blood boiled. This time, the promotion competition was a trial, and it was much more thrilling than a direct fight.    

    

As for the scoring method that Han Jinzhi talked about, they kept it in their hearts.    

    

herbal medicine s were divided into a total of one to nine stages, and each stage was divided into four levels: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Top!    

    

The scoring method was very simple. According to each tree, a primary herbal medicine was 1 point, middle herbal medicine was 2 points, high level herbal medicine was 3 points, and top level herbal medicine was 4 points.    

    

With every step, the score would double from the previous step's top score, and then each small level would add an extra point.    

    

Beginner herbal medicine s were worth 8 points, Intermediate ones were worth 9 points, Advanced ones were worth 10 points and the top-tier ones were worth 11 points.    

    

Beginner herbal medicine s of the third step were worth 22 points, Intermediate ones were worth 23 points, Advanced ones were worth 24 points and the Top ones were worth 25 points.    

    

Pushing down in order, the points from the very beginning to the very peak of the fourth stage herbal medicine were 50, 51, 52, and 53; the points from the very beginning to the very peak of the Fifth Rank herbal medicine were 106, 107, 108, and 109; the points from the very beginning to the very peak of the Sixth Rank herbal medicine were 218, 219, 220, and 221; and the points from the very beginning to the very peak of the seventh stage herbal medicine were 442, 443, 444, and 445, respectively.    

    

The eighth and ninth stage herbal medicine were also pushing down, but there was no need to calculate any further.    

    

This was because the majority of the herbal medicine s were protected by demonic beasts, and there were very few of them.    

    

Fifth Rank, Sixth Rank, the strength of the Guardian Beasts of the seventh stage of the herbal medicine, were already equivalent to the human cultivator's Hua Shen, body, and Thunder suffering stage.    

    

And out the three thousand and few cultivator s who went forth to gain experience, the strongest was only at the Infant stage.    

    

Demonic beasts were the same as spirit beast s and herbal medicine s, they were also divided into levels 1 to 9, and each level was also divided into four levels: elementary, intermediate, high level, and top-level.    

    

Regarding the score of the beasts, it was the same as the herbal medicine, calculating them one by one. Starting from 1 point, every level was increased by 1 point, and every step was doubled.    

    

For example: Level 1 Beginner Demon Beast = 1 point, Intermediate Demon Beast = 2 points, Advanced Demon Beast = 3 points, Top Level Demon Beast = 4 points; Level Two Beginner Demon Beast = 8 points, Middle Demon Beast = 9 points, Top Level Demon Beast = 10 points, Top Level Demon Beast = 11 points …    

    

This sort of scoring method was rather simple and practical.    

    

"Of course, some cultivator s might ask, after going up there, if they had herbal medicine or demon beasts, they would just take them out to cheat, what do we do?"    

    

At this time, Han Jinzhi said a question that caused the majority of the people to feel suspicious.    

    

A small portion of the cultivator knew about this problem, but the majority of the cultivator had yet to hear about it.    

    

If when he came out, someone else took out his own herbal medicine and Spirit Grass and cheated, his result would be unreal.    

    

Most of the cultivator s who didn't understand looked towards Han Jinzhi to see what she had to say.    

    

Because before going up, it was impossible to get cultivator to hand over his own Storage Ring s or Storage bag s for inspection, because it involved one's privacy.    

    

Naturally, they couldn't ask others to give the spirit instrument s' treasures like the storage to the Organizer for safekeeping, and no one would be willing to do that.    

    

"You don't have to worry about this at all. The herbal medicine and demon beasts of the Demon Beast Mountain Range all have one characteristic."    

    

"That is, whether it is herbal medicine or Demon Beasts, within a hundred meter radius from the Demon Beast Mountain Range, you will be able to maintain a fresh state for a month!"    

    

"Once you leave the range of a hundred meters, no matter how fresh the herbal medicine is, it will immediately wither and lose all its moisture, becoming a dried up Medicinal material that can no longer grow anymore. The spirit beast's water will also completely disappear, turning into a dried up state!"    

    

"And as long as it is within a month, even if it has already dried up, as long as it is brought back within a hundred meters of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, it would be able to recover fifty percent of its water!"    

    

"Therefore, we don't have to worry about anyone cheating or cheating!"    

    

As Han Jinzhi said this, those cultivator who did not understand finally heaved a sigh of relief.    

    

"Alright, I have told you all about the score method of the herbal medicine!"    

    

"Next, everyone should give a warm round of applause and cheers. We would like to invite our Star Emissary Zhao Fangyuan and Master Emissary to explain the things that you should note during the trial!"    

    

As Han Jinzhi finished speaking, when she invited Zhao Fangyuan out to speak, she especially emphasized Zhao Fangyuan's name and address.    

    

It was obvious that she would still remember what Zhao Fangyuan had tricked her!    

    

"Hahaha!"    

    

"Don't just give me applause and cheers, our Han Jinzhi, City Lord Han said so much and worked hard, everyone give her some applause and cheers!"    

    

Zhao Fangyuan stood up, walked forward a few steps, and also praised Han Jinzhi a little.    

    

"Oh, oh, oh, okay, it's hard, it's hard. Oh, oh, oh, it's hard, so swallow it!"    

    

"Pa Pa Pa …"    

    

Below, only Liu Xing shouted out the loudest and loudest, the other cultivator s looked at him strangely.    

    

Those cultivator s did not understand why Han Jinzhi was still calling him that happily when he was targeting Liu Xing.    

    

Only Yue Chongying's lips unconsciously curled up. Only she knew that Liu Xing's cheers must have harboured malicious intentions!    

    

"This second round of the promotion competition is a trial. City Lord Han who should have said it before also pretty much said it!"    

    

"Next, this Star Emissary will tell you about the matters you need to pay attention to. You all better listen up, because this matter will affect your lives!"    

    

After the cheers and applause had stopped, Zhao Fangyuan withdrew his faintly discernable smile. His expression was very serious and his voice sounded very stern.    

    

"Next, this Star Emissary will say some ugly words first. I hope you all will listen carefully because this Star Emissary will only say those words once!"    

    

"Above the Demon Beast Mountain Range is the Site of the demon beasts. Since ancient times, Demon Beasts and human cultivator have always been opposites. When you go up, you will be enemies with Demon Beasts! "    

    

"When the demon beasts see you, they will attack you. Those who are weak will definitely be killed by the demon beasts!"    

    

"And the Soul Formation Cultivator that we sent out, will only be guarded at the entrance. No one will save you!"    

    

"Therefore, once you board the Demon Beast Mountain Range, your lives are on the line and it's very likely that your corpses will be eaten by demonic beasts and even their corpses will not be found. However, Organizer will not bear any responsibility!"    

    

"Of course, there is also the possibility of the cultivator and the cultivator fighting with each other, resulting in the end of life and death. If we do not have enough evidence, the Organizer will not take any responsibility!"    

    

Hearing this, many cultivator began to make their own plans.    

    

Zhao Fangyuan's intention was very simple. As long as he could get into the Demon Beast Mountain Range, he would be responsible for his own life or death.    

    

Even if another cultivator were to kill them for their treasures, without a evidence, they would not be responsible.    

    

Just this point caused many cultivator to fall into a dilemma, wondering whether or not they should go.
