“Is that to say you’re not going to help me?” Li Wanxue said angrily.
“Wanxue, it's not that I won't help you, but just wait a little longer. Don’t worry, once I pass the assessment of the Tian Gong, I will definitely seek justice for you, I promise,” Yun Mengze consoled as he embraced Li Wanxue.
“Alright, I’ll wait,” Li Wanxue bit her lip and turned to leave.
“Is she leaving just like that?” Everyone was stunned.
“Don’t mind her, everyone, let’s continue our conversation,” Yun Mengze shook his head and turned to enter the room.
After Li Wanxue returned, her killing intent increased. The previous Yun Mengze would never treat her so dismissively; it was unexpected that even Yun Mengze would change after the death of the ancestor.
Perhaps in Yun Mengze's eyes, she had no other way out except to rely on him?
“Let this Chen Di Pavilion survive a little longer. Yes, the Tian Gong, only by joining the Tian Gong can I escape from everything.” Li Wanxue gritted her teeth and secretly vowed.
Qin Chen naturally wouldn’t pay attention to these matters. Time passed quickly, and before he knew it, the day of the Tian Gong martial artist assessment had arrived.
The assessment for the Tian Gong was divided into two parts: the martial artist assessment first, followed by the weaponsmith assessment.
Early in the morning, the entire Yunzhou state government was bustling, with a vast crowd of countless talented individuals rushing towards the center of the state government, the assessment venue.
Qin Chen brought Qin Tingting and Ao Qingling along to the state government center.
“Young Master Chen,” Ao Qingling and Qin Tingting were still a bit anxious on the way. Soon, they arrived at the center of the state government.
The venue for the martial artist assessment was incredibly vast, a plaza in the sky with stone steps leading up to the clouds. In the sky, the words “Tian Gong” appeared, magnificent and boundless.
At that moment, in front of the grand plaza, numerous martial artists gathered, including Commoners, Earth Saints, and even Heaven Saints. However, the majority were still Earth Saint experts. Among these people, those truly qualified to participate in the assessment were not many; the real candidates were all exceptional Earth Saints like Ao Qingling.
Everyone wanted to join the Tian Gong; only a few were loose cultivators, while most were disciples from great families and powers.
For example, the Soul Fire Family from Yunzhou, being a top-tier force, would certainly send their children to cultivate in the Tian Gong, a supreme force in the heavenly realm, given any chance.
Standing in front of the words “Tian Gong,” Qin Chen felt a sense of vastness, realizing the greatness of this power.
However, unlike the anxiety of other martial artists, Qin Chen did not intend to participate in the martial artist assessment; his only goal was to join the weaponsmith department of the Tian Gong. Compared to the martial artist assessment, the weaponsmith assessment was ten times more difficult and held a much higher status.
He quietly stood there, perceiving the aura of everything in the heavenly realm.
In the midst of the bustling crowd, Qin Chen felt an incomparable calmness.
Countless auras surged like tides, and he could almost grasp the mindset of every martial artist present.
“There are so many people today.”
“Look, not only are there experts from Yunzhou, even people from Yuezhou have come. This is the Young Master of the Xue Family from Yuezhou. He’s an unparalleled Earth Saint expert already, and with one more step, he’ll become a Heaven Saint. He’s here to seek opportunities in the Tian Gong.”
“That’s natural. Becoming a Heaven Saint isn't easy. Even some disciples from big powers can't guarantee it; perhaps only figures like Yun Mengze can be sure to become a Heaven Saint.”
“I heard that Lord State Master is also coming to participate in the assessment. With his strength and status, entering the Tian Gong would be like a fish in water. If he can become a high-ranking member of the Tian Gong, our Yunzhou will definitely become even stronger.”
