178: The assessment task is actually...

From the Bai Xian Continent to the Qiu Xian Continent, it didn't take Chen De long due to the existence of the Teleportation Array.

Moreover, this Teleportation Array could directly teleport Chen De to a location less than a million miles from the exit of the Seeking Immortality Realm.

Even with Chen De's speed, equivalent to the Myriad Transformations Realm, First Level, he still arrived in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

If Chen De had used his full strength, this distance would have been covered in an instant.

However, on someone else's territory, it's better to keep a low profile if possible.

What if he was discovered? There was a Heavenly Imperial Realm expert stationed here, after all.

The moment Chen De caused a slight, abnormal spatial fluctuation, the expert immediately sensed it.

Chen De probably wouldn't even have time to react before the expert's attack landed on him.

The gap between Chen De and a Heavenly Imperial Realm expert was even greater now than the gap he faced when he confronted Tian Chenyang at the peak of the Demon Domain Realm.

If anything went wrong, Chen De might very well be annihilated without a trace this time.

His life might just end like that.

Therefore, when Chen De came here, he usually acted cautiously and according to the rules.

However, once Chen De officially became a Core Disciple and understood the methods of the Qiu Xian Hall,

Chen De would be able to make a move against the Core Disciples in the Qiu Xian Hall.

He had also subtly inquired about the matter of cultivating multiple cultivation methods while drinking with Li Canghai.

After all, this wasn't a secret in the Qiu Xian Hall, and many disciples had thoughts of cultivating multiple methods.

So, Li Canghai generously and readily shared the relevant information with Chen De.

Firstly, because cultivating multiple methods is incredibly important and almost exclusively exists in sects with Heavenly Imperial Realm martial artists.

Therefore, in the Qiu Xian Hall, to obtain such a method, one needed to at least reach the Core Disciple level to be qualified to access it.

However, generally speaking, very few people actually chose to cultivate multiple methods.

After all, cultivating an additional system and raising it to the same realm as the original system would at most double one's combat power.

But in the Myriad Transformation Realm, there is nearly a six-fold difference in combat power between each minor realm.

Cultivating an additional system would at most only increase a martial artist's combat power within the same realm.

However, the resources used to cultivate an additional system could completely push the original system forward by several levels.

Therefore, with the same resources, the two methods have too great a difference in effort and reward.

So, in the Qiu Xian Hall, aside from those disciples who truly lacked no resources, very few people chose to cultivate an additional system.

Normally, most people who chose to cultivate multiple methods understood that they had no hope of further breakthroughs.

Cultivating a few more systems allowed their already maximized combat power to reach a higher level.

On the path of cultivation, the path of martial arts, for most people, it's about being meticulous in their choices.

Usually, with the same resources, they choose whatever yields greater benefits.

Moreover, in the Qiu Xian Hall, exchanging for a multi-cultivation method required a very large amount of contribution points.

Furthermore, private transactions of multi-cultivation methods among disciples were strictly prohibited.

According to Li Canghai, he hadn't exchanged for a multi-cultivation method.

One reason was that he felt it was too expensive and he couldn't afford it yet.

Another reason was that he couldn't sustain it; the resources for cultivating just one system were not enough, let alone adding another.

However, if he had the opportunity in the future, for example, if his cultivation stagnated, he might try it.

Li Canghai's concerns stemmed from his sect contribution points and resources.

But Chen De had no such worries at all.

As for sect contribution points, once Chen De was promoted to a Core Disciple and devised a method to overcome the restrictions,

At that time, Chen De could simply find someone who had learned a multi-cultivation method and 'enlighten' him.

This way, Chen De wouldn't even need sect contribution points to obtain a multi-cultivation method.

As for cultivation resources, Chen De was even less worried.

Ever since Chen De discovered that the system could even add points to multi-cultivation systems,

With the support of Chen De's two major methods, Blood Refining and Spirit Devouring,

The multi-cultivation system was practically tailor-made for Chen De.

Not only that, Chen De had also vaguely found a new method beyond Spirit Devouring and Blood Refining.

It was currently still in its rudimentary stage, and everything was still somewhat vague.

But fortunately, Chen De already had a clue and would be able to develop it soon.

And the array Chen De designed, though extremely incomplete due to a lack of array experience,

With the support of Chen De's innate bloodline and talent, it could already be temporarily and barely used.

Subsequently, it still needed to be continuously filled in and perfected.

As for this Core Disciple assessment mission, Chen De wasn't worried at all.

A mission assigned to a disciple who had just entered the Myriad Transformation Realm wouldn't be too difficult.

Moreover, with Chen De, who was comparable to a Demon Domain Realm, Fourth Level demonic beast, leading the way,

This mission would have no problems as long as Chen De didn't intentionally cause trouble for himself.

Just like when he entered, when leaving, he still had to undergo a check by the surrounding grand arrays.

The grand arrays near the spatial portals lit up, emitting strange beams of light that scanned Chen De's body.

After the scan, a light orb re-emerged from Chen De's body.

At this point, Chen De once again displayed an appearance of being repelled by the world's laws.

That light orb was the multi-functional light orb that appeared from the grand array and entered his body when Chen De first came in, providing immunity to repulsion, positioning, a bomb, and more.

At that time, as soon as the light orb entered Chen De's body, Chen De understood its function.

Therefore, Chen De used the power of the Evil God Essence to shield and fabricate what it sensed.

How could Chen De be at ease with something that might, no, definitely had problems?

Chen De had already resolved the issue with this light orb the moment he stepped out of the Qiu Xian Continent.

So, when that light orb re-entered the grand arrays,

The grand arrays lit up again for a while, as if operating something.

The next moment, under the surveillance of these grand arrays, the spatial portal leading to the Four Profound Heavens opened.

The grand arrays watched Chen De until he entered the portal and his figure completely disappeared from it.

Only then did the light of the grand arrays gradually dim and extinguish, falling back into silence.

After coming out, the outer checkpoint was basically a quick formality; they simply checked Chen De's disciple token and let him pass.

Then, Chen De rushed to the mission hall of the Qiu Xian Hall.

Different levels of disciples and different levels of missions required going to different halls within the mission hall.

Chen De's was an assessment mission, which was relatively confidential.

A confidential mission meant that once a certain disciple accepted it,

Other disciples would no longer be able to inquire about any information related to that mission.

Therefore, the mission hall Chen De went to was a more advanced one, with fewer people.

The more advanced mission halls were individual small rooms.

Each room was about a thousand square feet, which was quite spacious.

Upon arriving, Chen De found that he was the only Inner Sect Disciple, and there were five other Inner Sect Disciples also waiting there.

It seemed they had been waiting for a while, and only Chen De was missing.

The Mission Elder saw that Chen De had also arrived, nodded, and looked at the disciples,

"Since everyone is here, I will now announce your Core Assessment Mission.

That is, Profound..."
