Chapter 246: 39. Tianxia Building Forum
```
After more than a year, Lin Yue's Daoist abilities had undergone earth-shattering changes.
"Wooden stake?"
In the world of white mist, Lin Yue looked at the wooden stake not far away, neither approaching nor asking for a weapon. He merely activated the Wind Element and casually swung a hand blade across the air—
"Whoosh!"
Following the extreme storm-like intent, a crescent-shaped Qi Blade, over a yard long, instantly sliced through the wooden stake.
The stake split apart.
"First trial passed." The ethereal overlapping voice echoed thereafter.
Lin Yue smiled.
Back then, he had to use weapons, the Ultimate Killing Skill, and the Mind Forbidden Technique to barely leave a trace, but now, he could easily sever the stake with a casual air-cutting hand blade.
His progress over the past year was indeed significant.
His Cultivation broke through the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier, and even reached the second level.
The Ultimate Killing Skill Realm of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire had stepped into Martial Arts True Self, as did the Thirteen Flames of Wind and Fire.
Moreover, the Martial Arts Divine Skill allowed him near-perfect control of power.
With his current strength, a barehanded move could kill the Saint Heir of the Heavenly Born Sect, but unfortunately...
Lin Yue sighed softly, shaking his head slightly.
"Second trial."
At this moment, the ethereal overlapping voice sounded again, "After I say start, pass the single-plank bridge in front of you within one breath."
The next moment, Lin Yue found the mist surging before him. The ground ahead crumbled, revealing a seemingly bottomless abyss, and where he stood seemed to become a steep cliff.
On the edge of the cliff was a narrow wooden bridge, only a palm's width wide but several hundred yards long, leading straight to the opposite cliff.
"One breath?"
Lin Yue assessed it, "It's somewhat similar to the Ancestor Hall's assessment, purely testing movement technique speed?"
However, the difficulty was average; strong ones at the Four Symbols Peak could probably pass it.
"Start."
The ethereal overlapping voice rang out, and Lin Yue moved, activating the Thirteen Flames. His entire being followed the intent of Wind Passes Silently and Fire Instant, leaping across the single-plank bridge in a flash, appearing on the opposite cliff as if through instant teleportation.
"Second trial passed." The ethereal overlapping voice sounded thereafter.
"Third trial, after I say start, pass through the Stone Forest Mysterious Formation within three breaths."
Following this, the abyss and single-plank bridge disappeared, and before Lin Yue, towering stone pillars appeared, leaving only gaps for one person to pass, with a maze-like passageway extremely complex.
It was evidently a pure test of movement technique flexibility.
"Start."
Lin Yue's silhouette transformed once more into a gust of wind, deftly and effortlessly weaving through the stone forest without any pause, astonishingly fast.
Then came the fourth trial, similar to the Ancestor Hall's defense assessment.
To him, naturally, it posed no challenge.
The fifth trial entailed battling a wooden puppet, weaker than the Saint Heir of the Heavenly Born Sect, and it was split in half by Lin Yue's casual air-cutting hand blade.
Absolutely no challenge.
"All basic trials passed."
The ethereal overlapping voice followed with, "You are qualified to enter the Tianxia Building and compete in Daoist discussions with the world's elites. Upon reaching the Ninth Floor, you may meet with the master of the Tianxia Building."
Ninth Floor?
Master of the Tianxia Building?
Lin Yue listened without any emotional fluctuation, merely so?
However, the main role of the Tianxia Building was honing skills, and the so-called Dao discussions were battles against numerous strong cultivators in the world, a rare opportunity indeed.
Although he was curious about who the master of the Tianxia Building was, it didn't matter if he didn't know.
"Before entering the Tianxia Building, you can alter your physical form, blur your own aura, and change any attire."
The ethereal overlapping voice continued:
"The rules of the Tianxia Building's trials are simple.
"There are nine levels in the Tianxia Building.
"On each level, engage in Daoist discussions arranged by the Tianxia Building with other cultivators at the same level. Defeating the opponent or making them concede is a victory.
"Victors will receive varying amounts of World Tower Command Arrows. The higher the level of Daoist discussion, the more World Tower Command Arrows you receive. Additionally, performance during the Daoist discussions also affects the number of Command Arrows awarded.
"Losing will result in a deduction of a certain number of World Tower Command Arrows, similarly affected by the Daoist level and performance.
"Engaging in repeated Daoist discussions with defeated opponents yields no Command Arrow rewards.
"Every application for a discussion arranged by the Tianxia Building, or personally inviting a Daoist discussion, requires one Command Arrow.
"When Command Arrows reach zero, one Command Arrow will be provided free the next day.
"Collecting one hundred Command Arrows opens a Low Grade Treasure Secret Box, one thousand for a Mid Grade Treasure Secret Box, and ten thousand for a Top Grade Treasure Secret Box.
"Collecting one hundred and eight thousand Command Arrows enables the Tianxia Building to deduce any cultivation technique most suitable for you.
"The Tianxia Building might need time to find a suitable opponent for you. Once found, you will be notified, and an appropriate time for the Daoist discussion will be set.
"On any level, achieving five consecutive victories and expending a certain number of Command Arrows grants you a chance to attempt the Heavenly Ascension Test to the next floor."
Once the ethereal overlapping voice finished conveying these rules, Lin Yue couldn't help but smile.
The rules of the Tianxia Building seemed quite gamified.
Command Arrows were akin to points in games.
Not only did they open blind boxes, but with enough, they also helped deduce cultivation techniques.
Five consecutive wins proved adequate strength to challenge the next level.
Moreover, you couldn't earn more Command Arrows from opponents you've defeated, eliminating the chance to farm Arrows, and performance-based Arrow reward or deduction ensured fair battles as much as possible.
