Central Mainland Manor.
Three-story main building.
Lin Yuan and Fang Qing sat facing each other.
"Brother Lin, I've got some information about the Seven Star Cave test in advance and I want to share it with you," Fang Qing said without delay.
The roar of the white-bearded old man still echoed in his ears.
Fang Qing didn't want to endure that torment again.
"Oh?"
Lin Yuan's heart stirred slightly.
The Seven Star Cave test set by the Star Lord of Red Kun, its related information is blocked by the Cosmic Human Alliance and the Star Lord himself.
Under such conditions, the Evolvers who still manage to know the information are all extraordinary figures. Behind them, there is at least a powerful entity from a high-level life planet, dominating one side.
Or it could be a major force with a sixth-rank falling star as its leader.
As a medium-level life planet, Canglan Star does not have the conditions to give birth to such forces.
"It seems that the speculation is true."
Lin Yuan's expression became slightly solemn as he looked at Fang Qing.
During the arena competition, someone collected information on the top fifty Evolver contestants at the time.
Fang Qing's conjecture was that he seemed to have obtained a great opportunity, gaining the inheritance of a powerful Evolver.
Later, Fang Qing revealed the means of the "Ancient God" evolution path, which further confirmed this speculation.
The "Ancient God" evolution path uses a powerful "Ancient God" deep in the starry sky as a reference for cultivation.
If there is not extremely detailed guidance, the practitioner will be contaminated by the "Ancient God".
And then become a servant or even a puppet incarnation of this "Ancient God".
For those powerful beings, a glance or a thought is enough to destroy countless lower-level lives.
Currently, among the publicly available evolutionary paths of the Cosmic Human Alliance, there is no "Ancient God" evolutionary path, precisely because of the enormous risks of practicing it.
Other evolutionary paths, if you fail in cultivation, you may die at most.
But with the "Ancient God" evolution path, if you mess up, you will directly become the vessel for the arrival of the "Ancient God".
Of course, the cosmic human civilization only prohibits the widespread dissemination of the "Ancient God" evolution path and has not completely eradicated it.
As for the reason, it is because many "Ancient Gods" in the depths of the starry sky have already fallen or disappeared into the long history.
Cultivating the "Ancient God" evolutionary path, although risky, also has the potential to inherit the authority and everything of that "Ancient God".
In summary, since Fang Qing dares to cultivate the "Ancient God" evolutionary path, he must have detailed guidance for this path, and even have special intelligent beings correcting any problems in Fang Qing's cultivation process at all times.
"But I know nothing about the Seven Star Cave test."
Fang Qing came to share information, so logically Lin Yuan should also share information with him, so this point needs to be clarified.
"It's okay."
"We are both from Canglan Star and should help each other."
Fang Qing waved his hand. After all, information can be said to be priceless, or it can be said to be worthless. After all, there is no need for any follow-up costs.
"But before I say it, Brother Lin, you should have the Wisdom Goddess stop monitoring because information about the Seven Star Cave test is prohibited by the Alliance," Fang Qing seemed to realize something and hurriedly said.
This manor is Lin Yuan's territory, so only Lin Yuan has the right to privacy and can shut off the Wisdom Goddess.
"Okay."
Lin Yuan nodded, then immediately connected to the Wisdom Goddess and asked it not to pay attention to this side for the time being.
After doing all this.
Fang Qing began to tell about the information about the Seven Star Cave test.
"In fact, the Seven Star Cave test rarely appears. Generally, it only opens when the Star Lord of Red Kun is in a good mood," Fang Qing sighed.
The Red Kun Star Domain has eight major star systems. After each arena competition, the Star Lord will select one star system and test the top ten from each life planet in it.
The vast majority of tests are ordinary tests, just to deal with the Cosmic Human Alliance. Only when they see a true genius will they consider opening the Seven Star Cave.
"But this is also our opportunity."
"After the Seven Star Cave test is opened, the Star Lord's twelve disciples will start paying attention. As long as you pass the seven caves, you will have the opportunity to join one of these twelve disciples," Fang Qing said.
Fang Qing paused and continued, "Don't underestimate these twelve disciples. The weakest among them are all sixth-rank falling stars, and the strongest two or three of them have even surpassed the sixth rank."
"Surpassed the sixth rank." Lin Yuan's spirit trembled slightly.
Even surpassing the sixth rank, Lin Yuan still has a long way to go compared to them.
According to Lin Yuan's estimation, to break through to the sixth rank, he would need to shuttle two or three more times, which would probably take hundreds of years.
Of course, even so, for Lin Yuan at the moment, the sixth-rank falling star is still someone he looks up to.
"So, during the test, you must do your best to show yourself because every move of everyone is seen by those twelve disciples."
"Even if you don't pass the Seven Star Cave test in the end, as long as you satisfy those twelve people, you can still join the Red Kun lineage."
Fang Qing said in a low voice.
This information, even many falling star-level forces, did not know.
It's top secret among top secrets. Even when his teacher was alive, he spent a lot of effort to find out about it.
"I see."
Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
He remembered it firmly.
"After saying so much, I haven't mentioned the content of the test yet."
Fang Qing seemed to realize something and grinned. "In fact, the test of the Seven Star Cave is not complicated. It is divided into seven caves."
"Each cave is a test."
"As for the specific test content, it varies, but summarized, it is a test of the body, speed, willpower, mind, and insight."
Fang Qing said.
"So that's how it is."
Lin Yuan's mind suddenly became clear.
No wonder other Evolvers participating in the test would ask him which star cave was the most difficult.
Whether Lin Yuan answered that the first star cave was the most difficult or the seventh star cave, both would be wrong.
In fact, which star cave is the most difficult and which one is the simplest is entirely "person-dependent."
For example, if a certain Evolver is good at speed, then the star cave testing speed would be the easiest for him.
If a certain Evolver's mind is the weakest, then the star cave testing the mind would be the most difficult for him.
So the specific answer to this question is that there is no "most difficult" or "weakest."
"However, in my opinion, what the Star Lord of Red Kun values most is the Evolver's 'insight.' As for other aspects, such as talent, bloodline, etc., they only determine the lower limit. If you truly want to reach the pinnacle, to cross into the sixth rank and surpass it, insight is the most important."
Fang Qing said seriously.
Actually, this sentence was not spoken by him, but by his long-deceased "teacher."
"That's because the Star Lord of Red Kun himself possesses the most pinnacle bloodline in the cosmic universe," Lin Yuan smiled.
There are many rumors related to the Star Lord of Red Kun, among which the most important one is that when the Star Lord of Red Kun was at the fifth rank, he rode a battleship to explore unknown star domains and occasionally discovered a planet.
The creatures on this planet had already become extinct, and even the planet itself was about to be consumed.
The reason was that this planet had become a breeding ground for a special life form—the Star Sea Roaming Kun.
The Star Sea Roaming Kun is one of the most powerful special life forms in the universe, extremely rare, and reaches the sixth rank when fully grown, with a size comparable to a normal planet.
Generally, when a mature Star Sea Roaming Kun breeds offspring, it will find a suitable planet and inject the offspring, still in its egg, into the core of the planet.
Using geothermal energy to hatch them.
During this period, the offspring of the Star Sea Roaming Kun slowly begin to consume all the energy of the planet.
By the time this Star Sea Roaming Kun is about to reach maturity, the planet is basically consumed.
At that time, the Star Lord of Red Kun, who was still at the fifth rank, discovered this planet, which was slowly being consumed by the offspring of the Star Sea Roaming Kun.
However, it should be in the early stages of consumption, and the offspring of the Star Sea Roaming Kun only had vague consciousness and instincts.
Realizing this, the Star Lord of Red Kun immediately knew that an opportunity had come.
In the vast universe, with countless planets, encountering a planet where the offspring of the Star Sea Roaming Kun is hatching is even less than one in a trillion.
After confirming his guess, the Star Lord of Red Kun immediately used the Cosmic Human Alliance's "body-snatching" secret technique to take over the body of the offspring of the Star Sea Roaming Kun.
This special life form is simply the darling of the cosmic universe. When it reaches adulthood, it is at the sixth rank, and it is also at the pinnacle of the sixth rank, after all, considering its size.
Comparable to a normal planet, how much energy is contained within it? It is enough to make a normal sixth-rank falling star despair.
The reason why the Star Lord of Red Kun is named "Red Kun" is because his original body was a Star Sea Roaming Kun.
Of course, after taking over the Star Sea Roaming Kun, the Star Lord of Red Kun secretly cultivated for thousands of years, successfully breaking through to the sixth rank, and then entering the seventh rank before returning to the Cosmic Human Alliance.
Then, after being confirmed by the powerhouses of the Cosmic Human Alliance, the Star Lord of Red Kun's soul belonged to the human race, not a disguise of another race, so he successfully established himself in the human race.
In summary, the experience of the Star Lord of Red Kun is simply like cheating.
That is the Star Sea Roaming Kun, the most pinnacle bloodline in the cosmic universe. The lower limit is the goal that countless human races look up to for their entire lives.
"That's true."
Fang Qing nodded slightly, realizing that compared to the Star Lord of Red Kun, his own experiences were nothing at all.
"By the way, when you entered the Seven Star Cave world just now, did you change your appearance and physique?"
Fang Qing looked at Lin Yuan, his tone concerned.
"I did." Lin Yuan nodded.
After hearing this prompt, Lin Yuan proactively changed his appearance. After all, it didn't cost anything, so there was no need to ignore it.
"That's good."
Fang Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
"During the Seven Star Cave test, although we are not in competition, it's best not to expose our true identities."
Fang Qing explained, "After all, the arena competition videos will be spread around. If we happen to encounter a lunatic who harbors ill will towards us and happens to participate in the test, then it could be troublesome.
This is a case of inviting trouble for no reason. So it's best to change your appearance and physique. No one recognizes each other, as long as we don't touch each other's interests, we won't easily make a move."
After informing Lin Yuan of all the information about the Seven Star Cave test.
Fang Qing didn't ask any more questions, nor did he inquire about Lin Yuan's appearance in the Seven Star Cave world.
Then he got up and left.
After all, if they knew each other's appearance, and if Fang Qing encountered any trouble during the test, would Lin Yuan help or not?
Fang Qing actively informed Lin Yuan of this information, which was completely a kind of investment.
Returning to his own manor.
Fang Qing connected to the virtual world and appeared in his personal space.
Swoosh.
A palm-sized white-bearded old man appeared on Fang Qing's shoulder.
"Well done."
The white-bearded old man nodded in praise.
"Lin Yuan is very likely to become a sixth-rank falling star in the future. When he needs it, take the initiative to provide him with information. You should have made a good connection by now."
The white-bearded old man said with satisfaction.
The strong are solitary, yet they also gather in groups.
In the vast and boundless universe, the most powerful entities are never individuals, but rather the various peak races such as humans, insects, and so on.
It is precisely these races that occupy the most fertile territories in the universe, continuously nurturing countless strong individuals.
The master of the white-bearded old man, who left behind the inheritance of the 'Ancient God' evolution path, was naturally solitary by nature. So much so that when pursued by enemies, not a single friend came forward to help.
That's why the white-bearded old man urged Fang Qing to make every effort to make friends with Lin Yuan.
"I wonder how far Brother Lin can reach in the Seven Star Cave," Fang Qing said curiously.
"If my guess is correct, with Lin Yuan's talent, his status in the Seven Star Cave world should be a 'Golden Mark'" the white-bearded old man glanced at Fang Qing.
"Golden Mark" Fang Qing took a deep breath. Golden Mark not only represents status but also the recognition of the Star Lord of Red Kun.
"Passing through the seven star caves shouldn't be a problem. For Lin Yuan, the important thing is to choose which disciple of the Star Lord of Red Kun to follow" the white-bearded old man spoke.
Even among the twelve disciples of the Star Lord of Red Kun, there are differences in strength. Naturally, it's best to join the top three, as they are entities surpassing the sixth rank.
The remaining nine are also good, all being sixth-rank falling star level. But if forced to compare, the top three are definitely better.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, twenty-four hours had passed.
With a slight movement of his mind, Lin Yuan connected to the virtual world and appeared in the White Jade Plaza of the Seven Star Cave world.
At this moment, the plaza was scattered with numerous Evolvers.
These Evolvers stood alone or gathered in twos and threes.
For the vast majority of Evolvers, they were unaware of the contents of the test, so they instinctively formed groups.
Just then, a majestic figure appeared.
He looked down at the many Evolvers and said in a grand voice, "The time has come, I believe everyone is more or less prepared."
"Next, I will repeat the rules of the Seven Star Cave test."
"The Seven Star Cave test is divided into seven star caves. Your goal is to pass through these seven star caves."
"Each person can spend up to one month in each star cave. If you fail to pass within one month, it will be considered a failure."
"If you die during the test, it will also be considered a failure."
After the majestic figure finished speaking, with a wave of his hand, over a million Evolvers disappeared from the White Jade Plaza.
At the same time.
In a mysterious space within the Seven Star Cave world.
Twelve figures appeared.
These twelve figures sat in two positions.
Three figures were above, while nine figures were below.
In terms of aura and pressure, it was obvious that the three figures above were superior to the nine figures below.
These twelve figures were naturally the twelve disciples of the Star Lord of Red Kun.
Every time the Seven Star Cave test begins, they would send a trace of consciousness to select their own disciples.
