Chapter 1 Congratulations to Senior

"Congratulations, Senior, on passing the rank one Divine Inscriptionist assessment. Also, Senior, you have obtained the qualification to assess as a rank two Divine Inscriptionist. You can choose to undergo the rank two assessment immediately after the rank one assessment. I wonder if you have any plans for that?" Elder Xue hurriedly congratulated Jiang Xuan upon seeing his success, and also routinely inquired about Jiang Xuan's intentions.

"Let's continue."

Jiang Xuan nodded. Drawing a rank one Divine Inscription Symbol was not taxing for him. He had come here today for more than just the rank one Divine Inscriptionist assessment.

The Divine Inscriptionist Guild was also decisive, immediately arranging the rank two Divine Inscriptionist assessment for Jiang Xuan.

The rank two Divine Inscriptionist assessment was more difficult than the rank one assessment by far.

Drawing a Divine Inscription Symbol was divided into three major parts. The first part was processing the materials, the second part was the drawing process using soul force to guide the materials, and the third part was the fusion of the Divine Inscription Symbol with the Asura Road's divine runes. Among these three parts, the most difficult was not the second part of drawing, but the third part of fusion!

The third part was also the most crucial part of the Divine Inscription Art. The reason why Divine Inscription Art could become independent from Inscription Art, surpassing its predecessor, was because of this third part. It fused with the Heavenly Dao of the Asura Road in this step.

In this way, the Divine Inscription Symbol was a rune representing the Heavenly Dao. However, only in high-level Divine Inscription Art would the difficulty of the third part slowly manifest. The higher the grade of the Divine Inscription Art, the greater the difficulty of the third part. Many high-level Divine Inscriptionists failed on that complex, mysterious, and infinitely powerful Asura Heavenly Dao.

As for the lowest-grade rank one Divine Inscription Symbol, the third step was just a formality. It was not of great significance. The essence of the rank one Divine Inscription Symbol was still Inscription Art. Whether in effect or nature, it was similar to Inscription Art.

However, when it came to the rank two Divine Inscription Symbol, the difficulty of the third step was revealed a little, so for living beings practicing the Divine Inscription system, this would be a huge threshold.

However, the Heavenly Dao of the Asura Road was vast, infinite, complex, and difficult to understand. It was the rule system created by the master of the Asura Road, representing the power of rules above the True God. Even Jiang Xuan had only comprehended a little bit of the superficial knowledge so far.

And from the rank two Divine Inscriptionist onwards, one had to consider how to make the inscription runes drawn from the materials fit the Asura Heavenly Dao, because this was the true essence of the Divine Inscription Art.

As for the first two parts of the Divine Inscription Art, they were actually the same as the Inscription Art in the God Realm. Many Divine Inscriptionists had been immersed in this path for hundreds of thousands of years, and their Inscription Art level had reached the top-tier twelfth rank.

In the Divine Inscriptionist Guild, there were many twelfth-rank Inscriptionists. However, the Divine Inscription Art of these twelfth-rank Inscriptionists could only reach the seventh rank at most, or even not reach the seventh rank. The reason for this was that it was difficult to comprehend the Asura Heavenly Dao. In the final "third step," they could not achieve perfection.

Only the Heavenly Sovereigns could use their powerful power to slightly borrow the laws of the Asura Road's Heavenly Dao, and it was only borrowing. Even a True God could not truly comprehend it.

Similarly, it was precisely because of this reason that seventh-rank Divine Inscriptionists were rare, and eighth-rank Divine Inscriptionists were even legendary. As for the ninth rank, it had never truly appeared to this day.

Soon, Jiang Xuan's rank two Divine Inscriptionist assessment began. The assessment rules in the Divine Inscriptionist Guild were very strict. Even if Jiang Xuan was a Heavenly Sovereign, if he wanted to assess the next rank, he had to pass the assessment of the previous rank first. This was the Divine Inscriptionist Guild's respect for the Divine Inscription Art system.

Jiang Xuan naturally would not force it. Anyway, the assessment would not waste too much time.

The time for the rank two Divine Inscriptionist assessment was still five hours, but drawing the rank two Divine Inscription Symbol naturally took longer than the rank one Divine Inscription Symbol. The limit of five hours was equivalent to further increasing the difficulty.

However, Jiang Xuan was still relaxed and at ease. As the assessment began, all kinds of materials flew into the sky, being decomposed by Jiang Xuan's divine soul guidance. Then, he used the Divine Inscription Brush to attract the material juice, drawing all kinds of gorgeous patterns, which were breathtaking for a time.

Jiang Xuan's divine soul was extremely strong. Even the Soul Clan Heavenly Sovereigns of the same realm could not compare with him. Even some True Gods who were not good at cultivating the divine system might not be stronger than him. Precisely because of this, the rank two Divine Inscriptionist assessment was actually not difficult for him.

Half an incense stick later, Jiang Xuan easily completed the third step, and a rank two Divine Inscription Symbol was successfully made.

"Congratulations, Senior..."

Elder Xue congratulated him as usual, and then asked Jiang Xuan if he wanted to continue the assessment. The answer was as expected. Jiang Xuan chose to continue the assessment.

He was not surprised by this at all. Judging from Jiang Xuan's technique in drawing the rank two Divine Inscription Symbol, the rank two Divine Inscriptionist was definitely not Jiang Xuan's limit. It would be really strange if he didn't continue the assessment.

However, as the difficulty of the assessment increased, Jiang Xuan's speed of drawing Divine Inscription Symbols became slower and slower. During the rank three assessment, it took him one incense stick of time. During the rank four assessment, it took him half an hour. During the rank five assessment, it took him more than an hour.

As for the rank six assessment, it took nearly four hours to complete, and it could only be considered a barely completed. But even so, it was completed. This result made Elder Xue, Elder Su, and another rank six Divine Inscriptionist in charge of the assessment change color.

The rank six Divine Inscriptionist assessment required at least three rank six Divine Inscriptionists to supervise the examination, so that it could be considered a valid result. Therefore, when Jiang Xuan determined to assess as a rank six Divine Inscriptionist, Elder Su and another rank six Divine Inscriptionist, Elder Zhou, also joined the ranks of supervisors.

However, they could all be sure that Jiang Xuan a year ago didn't even know what Divine Inscription Art was, but in just one year, Jiang Xuan became a rank six Divine Inscriptionist comparable to them.

Even if Jiang Xuan was a Heavenly Sovereign, this speed was too exaggerated!

However, the facts were in front of them, and they could not refute it.

It's just that they didn't know that Jiang Xuan himself was extremely strong, and he was considered a top expert among Heavenly Sovereigns. Not to mention that Jiang Xuan's incarnation was mainly focused on the cultivation of supernatural powers of the Heavenly Eye type, which could break through falsehoods. Even the mistakes that a rank seven Divine Inscriptionist would make, he would never make.

Moreover, Jiang Xuan was not alone. Now in the Asura Road, there were five incarnations, and the memories between the incarnations were interconnected, which was equivalent to having five top Heavenly Sovereigns comprehending at the same time. It was conceivable how efficient it was.

In addition, the other incarnations had searched for a lot of divine runes and some small inheritances involving the Asura Heavenly Dao in the past year, so his progress was naturally not comparable to ordinary Heavenly Sovereigns.

Of course, the rank six Divine Inscriptionist was also his current limit. To reach the seventh rank was equivalent to cultivating another system, and it was necessary to cultivate to the Heavenly Sovereign level. The difficulty was naturally different.

Even Jiang Xuan could not reach that level so quickly. According to his estimation, if there were no unexpected circumstances, it would take about ten years before he could truly reach the level of a rank seven Divine Inscriptionist. As for the eighth rank, it was even more distant.

"Congratulations, Senior, on becoming a rank six Divine Inscriptionist!"

Elder Su respectfully said. In theory, he should be happy to see a rank six Divine Inscriptionist appear, but the feeling now was very subtle. He always felt that it was too打击 (dǎ jī - discouraging).

Not to mention him, Elder Xue and Elder Zhou were also like this. Even all the Divine Inscriptionists who would know about this in the future would be in this mood.

"Senior, I wonder if you are willing to join our Divine Inscriptionist Guild? We can provide you with more Divine Inscriptionist classics." Of course, although the mood was subtle, Elder Xue and the others did not forget the business.

For organizations like the Divine Inscriptionist Guild, the number and quality of Divine Inscriptionists were the most critical factors in measuring its strength. The scale of Divine Inscription City today was supported by these many Divine Inscriptionists and a group of alchemists.

The more Divine Inscriptionists the Divine Inscriptionist Guild had, the more powerful it would be, especially those seventh-rank Divine Inscriptionists who had appeal. Every additional Divine Inscriptionist of this kind would attract Divine Inscriptionists from nearby areas to join the Divine Inscriptionist Guild.

At the same time, a large number of forces would come to cooperate with the Divine Inscriptionist Guild, providing various generous conditions.

Over time, Divine Inscription City would become more and more prosperous. All aspects of transactions, the talents entering and leaving, and the rare resources it possessed would all rise linearly.

Therefore, the growth of the Divine Inscriptionist Guild was closely related to the interests of everyone in Divine Inscription City.

Jiang Xuan was a Heavenly Sovereign and a rank six Divine Inscriptionist. Moreover, based on Jiang Xuan's performance in this assessment, becoming a rank seven Divine Inscriptionist was basically a certainty. If such an existence could join the Divine Inscriptionist Guild, it would be beneficial to the guild.

"Join the Divine Inscriptionist Guild?" Jiang Xuan pretended to think about it, but he had already planned it. "Alright."

The purpose of his incarnation was to cultivate the Divine Inscription system. The Divine Inscriptionist Guild was the most suitable place in the entire Asura Road. As for another behemoth, the Divine Void God Kingdom, although the Divine Inscription system was not weaker than the Divine Inscriptionist Guild, it had a True God sitting in charge. Jiang Xuan didn't want to contact it.

His answer finally made Elder Xue and the others feel better. To be able to invite a Heavenly Sovereign, and a Heavenly Sovereign who could definitely become a rank seven Divine Inscriptionist, to join the Divine Inscriptionist Guild would be a great achievement.

When Elder Su heard that Jiang Xuan was willing to join, he also quickly introduced him to the various benefits of joining the Divine Inscriptionist Guild. Jiang Xuan's treatment specifications were the highest specifications they could give within their authority, and this was only temporary. After that, they would contact the president of the Divine Inscriptionist Guild, and Jiang Xuan's treatment might be further improved.

Among the many benefits, what Jiang Xuan valued most was the right to comprehend the core classics of the Divine Inscription system, and the priority purchase right for the many treasures and supernatural powers in Divine Inscription City.

"If I remember correctly, the Dao Palace Nine Stars chapter of the *Azure Heavens Overlord Canon* is in a force that has cooperation with Divine Inscription City. Perhaps I can find an opportunity to exchange it."

Jiang Xuan thought in his heart. The *Chaotic Origin Stellar Manual* was no longer suitable for cultivation in the current God Realm, because the human race's body refining path had been cut off. It was extremely difficult and costly to cultivate to the level of the Dao Palace Nine Stars. Even a Heavenly Sovereign could not afford it alone.

Even Jiang Xuan only forcibly opened three Dao Palaces after becoming a World King by relying on his cultivation and past accumulation. After that, it was even more difficult to make progress. Later, he relied on the methods and supernatural powers of other worlds to finally break through the shackles and achieve the Heavenly Sovereign.

However, in this world, if he wanted to completely transcend, he needed to cultivate the three paths of essence, qi, and spirit to the extreme, so he had to make up for the flaws in the body refining path as soon as possible. The *Azure Heavens Overlord Canon* was the best choice.

This method was more overbearing and powerful than the *Chaotic Origin Stellar Manual*, and what was in the Asura Road was the second half, specializing in the Dao Palace Nine Stars, which was suitable for Jiang Xuan now. Jiang Xuan had to get it no matter what.
