(Qing Long Xue Fu), the largest comprehensive cultivation sacred place in Jiuzhou, is located in the Zhenjian Mountains of Zhenjian State. The entire Zhenjian Mountain range stretches for tens of thousands of miles.

  The Qinglong Academy is located in the very center of the Zhenjian Mountains, and it is unknown when it was established. According to the elderly, the history of the Qinglong Academy is long-standing, even longer than that of many superpowers.

  The Qinglong Academy is renowned throughout the nine provinces because of its extraordinary strength.

  No one dares to provoke Qinglong Academy, no one has seen the strongest power of Qinglong Academy, but Ye Feng understood the strength of Qinglong Academy from the moment he entered Zashan Mountain Range. Just saying that when Qinglong Academy was opened, all the spiritual beasts in Zashan Mountain Range did not dare to attack the disciples of Qinglong Academy, this point can already show its strength.

  In this mountain range, the spiritual beasts that lived here were incredibly powerful. Ye Feng had felt it more than once, and some of their auras were no weaker than those of the divine alligators in the Desolate Lands.

  After many days, Ye Feng and his group finally arrived at the Qinglong Academy. Before entering the academy, Ye Feng had already recalled Liu Meng and others into his inner world. The rules of the Qinglong Academy were unchangeable - as long as one was over 25 years old, no one would be accepted by the academy.

  Such a recruitment scope leads to a very bad drawback, for example, this time the Qinglong Academy has finished recruiting students, and it will take 50 years before the next opening, which will lead many cultivators to be unable to enter due to age restrictions.

  As for this point, the Qinglong Academy's explanation is that in fifty years, many excellent cultivators will be produced, and it is impossible for the Qinglong Academy to recruit all the talented cultivators.

  Some major powers or large families will cultivate their own children according to the recruitment time of Qinglong Academy, striving to have more children enter Qinglong Academy.

  But the enrollment quota of Qinglong Academy is limited, and not all cultivators above the age of 25 who have reached the peak of foundation building are accepted.

  Each intake of students will never exceed two thousand, and competition is extremely fierce.

  Ye Feng met countless cultivators halfway and when he arrived at the registration office of Qinglong Academy, he found that there were at least over a million cultivators who came here.

  One hundred thousand cultivators compete for two thousand spots, which means that among fifty cultivators, only one will become a student of the Qinglong Academy, and the other forty-nine will return along their original path.

  And the original road will also be blocked, after the selection of students is over, Qinglong Academy will close at the first time.

  The spiritual beasts in the Zha Jian mountain range will also attack the cultivators because they have lost their restraint, and many cultivators will die on their way back. According to past statistics, more than 80% of the cultivators who died were killed by these beasts.

  This also means that every time the Qinglong Academy opens, 80,000 Tiancai cultivators will die as a result, which is a fatal blow to the major powers and families on the mainland.

  Once passed the assessment, it can almost be determined that in the future, one will definitely become a giant, and their cultivation will at least advance to the Yuan Ying stage.

  In the face of such temptation, all qualified cultivators who are eligible to participate in the Qinglong Academy assessment will come to try their luck. Of course, no one thinks they will fail, and everyone comes with strong confidence, thinking that they will become one of those two thousand people.

  Ye Feng didn't know what the assessment of Qinglong Academy was, it's said that each time is different, but Ye Feng had absolute confidence, he thought he would definitely be selected.

  Looking at the registration area, a sea of cultivators in black robes was extremely spectacular. There were one million cultivators, and even the lowest among them had reached the peak of the Foundation Building stage. Moreover, many cultivators had already entered the Golden Core stage.

  It can be seen that the masters are also extraordinary people, and many geniuses who have been hidden by family sects for a long time have also emerged.

  These young prodigies were all proud and arrogant, never putting anyone in their eyes. But this time, participating in the assessment of Qinglong Academy, all the talents truly understood that they were not the only sons of heaven, and there were too many talented youngsters.

  Ye Feng has been through countless grand scenes, but he was also shocked by the scene in front of him. It seems that his own horizons are still not broad enough. When he just left Wang Hai Pai, he thought he was a frog at the bottom of the well, and now he realizes that he still hasn't escaped the fate of being a frog at the bottom of the well.

  In an era where talents emerge in large numbers, it is inevitable that many masters will become ordinary people. To stand out from the crowd, one must work even harder.

  Qinglong Academy assessment begins, at first it was just a confirmation of age and cultivation.

  Confirming one's cultivation is very simple, as long as the cultivator who comes to participate in the assessment places their palm on a specially made jade stele, and releases the spiritual energy within their body, a red light will appear on the stele.

  Anything that appears with a red glow represents the cultivation reaching the peak of foundation building.

  Ye Feng noticed that there were also some cultivators who were not qualified, at most they had stabilized the foundation-building boundary, but still came to participate in the assessment. Once such a cultivator appeared, the examiner standing next to the jade stele would ruthlessly destroy the participating cultivator's dantian.

  Make him a useless person.

  The importance of the dantian for cultivators is something even a fool knows. If the dantian is ruined, then this lifetime's cultivation will be in vain. Without cultivation, don't even think about crossing the tens of thousands of miles of the Sword Mountain Range; going out would make you food for spiritual beasts.

  The means of Qinglong Academy are indeed ruthless, and for the disciples who cheat on the assessment, there is no room for retreat.

  Unlike that world, where having a certain number of interpersonal relationships makes cheating indispensable, here cheating is equivalent to being sentenced to death.

  Ye Feng even thought that when the Qinglong Academy was opened, the spiritual beasts would not attack the cultivators. Was it really the power of the Qinglong Academy that suppressed the spiritual beasts? Or was it a plot by the Qinglong Academy to have a large number of cultivators as food for the spiritual beasts after the event, perhaps it was an agreement between the Qinglong Academy and the spiritual beasts.

  But this idea was just Ye Feng's temporary guess.

  Although most of the masters who came to participate in the assessment were above the foundation-building peak, there were also some who were pretending to be something they're not. Out of 100,000 masters tested, more than 1,000 were eliminated due to insufficient cultivation.

  It can be seen that there are still many people who, despite knowing that the rules of Qinglong Academy are strict, still harbor a mentality of luck.

  No wonder Liu Mengchen didn't dare to participate in the assessment. With Liu Mengchen's cultivation, he would definitely be detected and then suffer a sinister fate.

  This was not what made Ye Feng feel surprised, what truly shocked Ye Feng was that among the 100,000 cultivators, there were more than 5,000 cultivators who had reached the Golden Core stage.

  I don't know what the assessment questions are for this Qinglong Academy, but if it's just based on cultivation level to determine ranking, 2,000 spots won't be enough for these 5,000 Golden Dan period cultivators. If that's really the case, then they might as well directly announce that all Foundation Establishment period cultivators, including Ye Feng, are out of the running.

  When this result came out, many monks felt a sense of depression, clearly their confidence had been severely damaged.

  Next is the assessment of age.

  Ye Feng was looking forward to it and wanted to see how Qinglong Academy detected age.

  In that world, I've heard that many people fake their age for various reasons. Apparently, there's something called a bone age test that can detect a person's actual age. Does this world have such a thing too?

  In Ye Feng's confusion, the age test began.

  A chief examiner stood in front of the examinees for the master's degree, and behind him stood two examiners whose strength could not be seen through.

  The examiner gazed at the sea of black-robed cultivators before him, "Ladies and gentlemen, you are all young talents from various parts of the Nine States, and some of you are even from outside the Nine States. On behalf of Qinglong Academy, I welcome your arrival. Your eagerness for Qinglong Academy, I also understand."

  The examiner paused for a moment, then continued: "But without rules and regulations, the Qinglong Academy cannot accept all the ups and downs, so it has set age and cultivation restrictions. You have all seen the situation just now, and the consequences for those who do not follow the rules are quite severe."

  His sharp gaze swept across the 100,000 cultivators in front of him, making everyone feel a strong sense of oppression wash over them.

  "Next is age detection, for those who are not absolutely sure of their own age, don't participate, otherwise the consequences will also be very serious."

  But no one will quit just because of the chief examiner's words, cheaters all have such a mentality, as long as they are not caught, they absolutely will not admit it, and still hold onto their lucky mentality.

  People are like that, when doing anything, as long as they haven't been exposed, they will never admit it, and once they have been exposed, everything will be irreparable.

  In life, you will gain a lot and lose a lot. Between gains and losses, people have different ideas. Some think it's wealth, some think it's life, some think it's loved ones, and some think it's the elusive love that is hard to grasp. When you haven't lost anything yet, you won't think too much about it.

  But everything will eventually disappear in smoke and clouds, even the most precious things will be completely lost with the passage of time.

  What is not cherished will be the nostalgia of the future, when it's time to make a decision, one should resolutely and decisively make up their mind. As the saying goes, "When you should cut off, don't hesitate, or you'll suffer the consequences."

  Holding onto a lucky mentality may bring some benefits, but it won't always work as expected.

  Those punished monks were the best examples before.

  Before the assessment, the examiner did not say anything, but instead taught a lesson to these cheating monks and then warned those who still had a lucky mentality, hoping they would not miss their chance.

  But no one took the initiative to quit, just as the chief examiner had expected, all the cheaters were still holding onto a glimmer of hope.

  In that case, there is no need to sympathize with these people.

  "Age assessment will begin below."

  At the chief examiner's command, two attendants behind him brought out a large tripod containing an emerald green liquid.

  "Everyone takes a sip, this liquid will have no effect on the body and cultivation, but for those who lie about their age, it's different."

  The examiner asked all participating masters to drink a mouthful of liquid.

  The monks lined up and drank the liquid under the supervision of the chief examiner and two other monks.
