Magic array, assessment array!
Baili Hongzhuang's lips curled up in a faint and captivating smile, shallow yet alluring. She didn't speak, but her smile conveyed everything.
"Lady, tomorrow is the day of the assessment. Besides you, there will be other practitioners participating in the assessment. Many people in the sect will pay attention to this matter. I will accompany you to the assessment location," Emperor Beichen said.
Baili Hongzhuang nodded slightly, her clear eyes shimmering with curiosity. "How do you conduct the assessment?"
"What do you think would be a good way to assess?" Emperor Beichen asked in return.
"I heard that the assessment in the kingdom involves a competition, and the top few powerful practitioners can secure a spot," Baili Hongzhuang raised an eyebrow. It seemed that most people used this kind of assessment method, the simplest and most straightforward.
Emperor Beichen's lips curved with a mischievous arc as he chuckled, "That is the kingdom's method, but it has its flaws. The sect's selection method is different."
Hearing this, Baili Hongzhuang simply looked at Emperor Beichen, wanting to know what better method he was referring to.
"Tomorrow, you will enter an assessment array where various environments and demon beasts will appear. The longer you persist, the more it proves your excellent abilities. It's not just us; many sects use this selection method," Emperor Beichen's eyes sparkled with wisdom. "The kingdom's method selects the most powerful practitioners, but in our view, having the highest cultivation and strongest strength doesn't necessarily mean the strongest ability. In the small world, you may encounter various dangerous situations that those who are only good at arena battles cannot handle. Courage and adaptability are equally important factors, so our selection process is more comprehensive."
Listening to Emperor Beichen's words, Baili Hongzhuang immediately understood. Emperor Beichen was right. She had seen many practitioners who performed outstandingly in arena battles but fared poorly in real danger. It was similar to Linqin Yue in the past. Her cultivation was not weak and, in fact, quite excellent, but she couldn't unleash her true strength when faced with danger. Such practitioners had a very low survival rate in the small world.
It seemed that the assessment competition organized by the major sects wasn't meant to send everyone to their deaths in the small world, but rather to eliminate demon beasts and improve their own strength.
"In that case, is this assessment method an illusion array?" Baili Hongzhuang asked.
Emperor Beichen nodded slightly, "Correct."
"The sect's methods are truly unique," Baili Hongzhuang couldn't help but feel amazed and impressed by the calmness in Emperor Beichen's deep phoenix eyes. Just from his expression, she could anticipate that this illusion array was not simple.
Neither the sects nor the aristocratic families a thousand years ago had this kind of selection method. She was very curious about what kind of illusion array it was.
Seeing Baili Hongzhuang's curiosity on her face, Emperor Beichen chuckled lightly, "Lady, you will see it tomorrow. Although you know it's an environment, the effect is extremely realistic. Many practitioners find it difficult to face the scene for the first time. However, during the assessment, all practitioners will experience it for the first time. You should be mentally prepared."
"I understand," Baili Hongzhuang blinked her eyes. Just from Emperor Beichen's words, she could guess some clues. Securing a spot in the assessment competition was never an easy task.
