Chapter 668: Chapter 668 – Heavenly Sage Zhen Yan and Special Treatment

One after another, Dao Ancestors took the assessment, and most of them passed the assessment.

Zhou Xuanji’s team was really not the last to take the assessment. Very soon, it was Zhou Xuanji’s turn.

The Void Boundary Deity Position Officer said, looking at Zhou Xuanji, “Twelve-star aptitude, pass. You can be a Void Boundary War God.”

Having said this, the Void Boundary Deity Position Officer returned Zhou Xuanji’s ID card back to him, indicating he could go back.

Zhou Xuanji was dumbstruck momentarily. He then walked through.

Isn’t this too easy?

It seems that the twelve-star aptitude tag is really something!

Delighted, Zhou Xuanji happily made his way to Ye Jun and Nangong Jiayin.

In the end, no one really failed the assessment.

Zhou Xuanji witnessed them trade merit points. It was really an astronomical figure. There seemed to be about nine zeroes.

“Next, you will stand in separate teams five feet apart from each other, waiting for the Void Boundary Heavenly Sage to come and take you.”

Having dropped these words, the Void Boundary Deity Position Officer disappeared into thin air. The atmosphere of the Void Boundary Palace immediately became harmonious.

From today, all of them were Void Boundary War Gods. They would frequently meet each other, so naturally, they would have to win others over.

Although Zhou Xuanji’s cultivation was the lowest, most of the Void Boundary War Gods were trying to strike up a conversation with him.

In response to their introductions, he just nodded with a smile hanging on his lips.

All the Dao Ancestors were very satisfied with his attitude. In their opinion, he was quite easy to get along with.

The Dao-Treading Saints, on the other hand, were a bit dissatisfied. As they didn’t become Void Boundary War Gods by their aptitude but by their merit points, it was quite evident that most of them were spoiled since childhood and were used to seeing geniuses. As such, they didn’t have any interest in Zhou Xuanji.

Time went by minute by minute.

Very soon, everyone felt a horrific aura pressing down on them.

Everyone immediately looked up and saw a tall and stalwart figure covered in blue flames hovering in the air. His hands were crossed before his chest, and he was wearing a mighty-looking armor and had a black silk cape hanging down his shoulders. His face looked cold and expressionless, and there was a tiger head-like helmet on his head.

Right then, he started speaking, looking down on the teams below, “We are Heavenly Sage Zhen Yan. Zhou Xuanji and everyone in his team, come out.”

Just as he said this, everyone turned their gazes at Zhou Xuanji, looking at him with envy.

Heavenly Sage Zhen Yan was quite famous and was far stronger than a Dao Ancestor. When Zhou Xuanji was in the Yu Family, he had heard of the legends of Heavenly Sage Zhen Yan from the servants’ mouths.

He had lived through countless ages and defeated countless experts. He had gotten the moniker Sun Ancestor God.

Zhou Xuanji and the others immediately stepped forward.

Ye Jun promptly cupped his fists and said, “Heavenly Sage, we are here.”

Naturally, Heavenly Sage Zhenyan could recognize Zhou Xuanji as in the Void Boundary Palace, his cultivation was quite eye-catching.

“From now on, you will be our men!” Heavenly Sage Zhen Yan said in a solemn voice. After having said everything he wanted to say, he waved his hand, pulling Zhou Xuanji and the others.

As soon as they disappeared, the Void Boundary Palace broke into pandemonium.

“That was really Heavenly Sage Zhen Yan! One of the strongest Void Boundary Heavenly Sages!”

“If I also had a twelve-star aptitude, I would have also been taken by him!”

“Zhou Xuanji has risen to success in a single bound. From now on, he is sheltered by Heavenly Sage Zhen Yan. Even the Longbow Divine Range will have to give him face.”

“We have to make friends with him.”

“Yes, except for those ancient entities, a twelve-star genius is rarely born. Furthermore, he came from another universe.”

...

When Zhou Xuanji opened his eyes again, he found himself standing on a high tower. There was a vast starry sky in front of him and a dense mist below. When he looked up, he could feel the boundless expanse.

...

Twelve people, including Ye Jun, Nangong Jiayin, and Xu Huang, stood near him.

Standing on the edge of the railing was Heavenly Sage Zhen Yan with his back against them. They dared not speak a word.

“You will be a team from now on. You will live and die together. I hope you can tolerate each other because your missions are going to be very dangerous. The stronger your teammates, the greater are the chances of your survival. After each mission, you will receive the same merit points. Only in special circumstances, like your team is on the verge of annihilation and one of you turn the tide, will you get more merit points from the mission reward, and that too is under the recommendation of your entire team,” said Heavenly Sage Zhen Yan slowly, looking at Zhou Xuanji and the others.

Zhou Xuanji’s mind was completely occupied by a Void Boundary War God’s salary and the mission rewards.

He would receive 10,000 merit points every year, and this didn’t include the points obtained from missions.

The rewards from missions accounted for most of the income of a Void Boundary War God.

Some missions were worth hundreds of millions merit points, and the least they would offer was still 100,000.

This was proof in itself of how dangerous the position of Void Boundary War God was.

Next, Heavenly Sage Zhen Yan asked Zhou Xuanji and others to take out their ID cards. He then smacked them before returning them.

“Over this year, I will be selecting missions for you. You have to be prepared when you go back. Your ID cards have been branded with the Void Boundary War God’s identity. You can communicate with each other through the Void Boundary War God’s brand. And remember, never use your power to bully others, understand!?” Heavenly Sage Zhen Yan swept a gaze over Zhou Xuanji and the others, emphasizing each and every word.

His gaze didn’t stop on Zhou Xuanji even for a moment. Apparently, Zhou Xuanji hadn’t caught his attention.

“We understand!” everyone responded in unison.

Heavenly Sage Zhen Yuan nodded in satisfaction before speaking, “Wait here, I will be back in a minute. This is the mission tower. Apart from the first mission, you can choose your own missions in your free time. Remember, every mission must be team-oriented,” Heavenly Sage Zhen Yan disappeared after having said this.

Everything immediately breathed a sigh of relief the moment he disappeared.

Ye Jun smiled and said, “From now on, everyone will have to bear with each other. Maybe we will have to depend on each other to save ourselves someday.”

Everyone broke into laughter as he said this.

Afterward, they made their way to the door behind them, talking and laughing with each other.

The mission tower was very big, and it was quite similar to the Dao Tower. The stairs were about ten feet wide and descended spirally along the walls. On the walls, there were all kinds of mission posts. Any one of them could use their identity to pick them. As long as any one of them picked the mission, the mission would also appear on the brand of everyone’s ID card.

Zhou Xuanji behaved in a very low-key manner. Although he had twelve-star aptitude, it was impossible for him to be the leader of the team.

His cultivation was far lower than his teammates.

But with Ye Jun and Nangong Jiayin taking care of him, he wasn’t left out.

Zhou Xuanji saw all kinds of missions along the way.

These missions involved all kinds of strange mythical entities.

Most of them were bounties. They also displayed the target’s strength but the target couldn’t be judged based on this as they might be inaccurate.

It took them an entire two hours before they reached the first floor. They encountered many teams along the way, and many powerful experts gazed at Zhou Xuanji with surprise.

Because an Overlord Saint was a rare sight here!

They arrived at the portal and returned to their respective Origin Cities one after another. Zhou Xuanji, Ye Jun, Nangong Jiayin, and Xu Huang were from the same Origin City, so they could teleport together.

Inside the transmission array, Nangong Jiayin laughed and said, “Little Brother, I can protect you from now on.”

Zhou Xuanji shook his head and said, smiling, “Don’t worry, I can protect myself. I chose this god position because I want to become stronger.”

Ye Jun took the opportunity to ridicule them, “Fairy Nangong, you are so kind to him. Do you have feelings for him?”
