Everyone listened attentively to Emperor Beichen's explanation. In fact, if they hadn't entered the special class of Canglan Academy, they would probably never have had the opportunity to be exposed to this assessment competition.
"This assessment competition, although it is an assessment, lasts a long time, requiring two years," Emperor Beichen began.
"As we all know, our Holy Xuan Continent has many demonic beasts. Several hundred years ago, there was a demonic beast rebellion, and at that time, humans suffered severe attacks and were almost wiped out by the demonic beasts."
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze focused on Emperor Beichen. They were aware of the demonic beast rebellion several hundred years ago, but they didn't know the connection between the rebellion and the assessment competition.
"In reality, back then, the humans were unable to deal with so many demonic beasts. So, some peerless experts deliberately created a small world and placed these demonic beasts inside it."
"However, the reproductive ability of demonic beasts is astonishing. Our human experts discovered that these demonic beasts were constantly multiplying within the small world, and their power was continuously attempting to break through the seal of the small world."
"Once they succeed in breaking the seal, they will reappear in the Holy Xuan Continent and cause great harm to humanity."
Emperor Beichen's voice carried a hint of gravity. Any opportunity to achieve a breakthrough came with a certain level of risk.
As Emperor Beichen's words fell, Bai Li Hongzhuang also understood. "Are you saying that the location of our participation in the assessment competition is this small world filled with demonic beasts?"
Emperor Beichen couldn't help but look at Bai Li Hongzhuang. His wife truly had a sharp mind, seeing through the situation with just a few words.
"That's right," he affirmed. "By participating in the assessment competition, we can help exterminate these demonic beasts. On one hand, it resolves a hidden danger in the Holy Xuan Continent, and on the other hand, it allows the major sects to understand our strength and potentially recruit disciples."
A smile appeared on Bai Li Hongzhuang's lips. "This is indeed an excellent assessment method, killing two birds with one stone."
Xia Zhiqing and the others also understood, their mouths wide open in astonishment. They had never imagined that the assessment competition would involve such a situation.
"Where is this small world?" Bai Junyu couldn't help but find it incredible. "Does this mean that there is another area in our Holy Xuan Continent occupied by demonic beasts, but we don't usually see it?"
Seeing Bai Junyu's puzzled expression, Bai Li Hongzhuang explained.
"Space is a very mysterious power. Some powerful cultivators can use their own strength to construct a space that belongs only to them. You can understand it like this: that small world is like a spatial rift separate from the Holy Xuan Continent, and the seal is the point where the small world and the Holy Xuan Continent intersect."
"Once those demonic beasts break through the seal, they will appear in the Holy Xuan Continent, causing a terrifying disaster."
With her dark and intelligent phoenix-like eyes, Bai Li Hongzhuang understood the necessity of the assessment competition held every five years after learning about the existence of this small world.
The so-called small world was essentially a battlefield!
"I see," everyone exclaimed in astonishment as they looked at Bai Li Hongzhuang. They never expected her to have such understanding. She was truly remarkable.
A trace of astonishment also flashed in Emperor Beichen's eyes. He had never mentioned this small world to Hongzhuang before, but she seemed to be well-informed about it. He wondered how she came to know.
