Camp 1 is five kilometers north through the dense forest, overlooking a vast lake.

It was early morning, the warm morning sun shining, and the lake shimmered.

Ji Jiayu, Lu Shan, and a group of guides and selectors were all standing by the lake.

Lu Shan took a step forward, his feet suspended in the air, suspended above the lake. Then, he slowly extended his right hand, following closely behind. A hint of golden light overflowed from his fingertips and lingered in the air.

As Lu Shan's fingertips swayed, the golden light swirled like silk threads, eventually forming a mysterious pattern with a strange trajectory.

Once the pattern formed, it immediately blossomed with bright golden light. The golden light instantly transformed into two large palms, reaching out into the lake and pulling open the curtain, pushing the water to both sides.

Accompanied by the sound of rushing water, two waterfalls swiftly appeared. Between the lake and the waterfalls, a floating path made of jade stood, and at the end of the path was a large, circular golden stone platform, the Shengyao Terrace.

Although the Shengyao Terrace and the jade path were underwatering all year round, there were no water stains or algae, but they shone golden and were incredibly magical.

Ji Jiayu was shocked by the distribution of water in the golden palm, but the moment he saw Shengyaotai, his entire being was stunned.

For some reason, he felt the distant Shengyao Terrace beckoning him, making him unable to resist taking a step forward. He stepped on the jade path, and his steps fell, and the jade path remained motionless, as if it were real.

Seeing Ji Jiayu walking towards Shengyaotai with a dull expression, Lu Shan was a little surprised, but he still followed him and walked towards Shengyaotai together.

The guide and the other selectors remained on the shore, watching from a distance. Closer, closer.

As Ji Jiayu got closer and closer to Shengyao Terrace, the feeling of being called became stronger and stronger. He couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Lu Shan, who was walking behind him, frowned slightly, sensing something was amiss. After a few more seconds, Ji Jiayu even began to run.

At this moment, Lu Shan finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He took off, flew to Ji Jiayu's side, looked at him, and asked, "What happened?"

Normally, selectors would be overwhelmed when they were brought in for an initial compatibility test, but Ji Jiayu's appearance was completely different.

"I feel like I'm being called." Ji Jiayu turned to look at Lu Shan and replied blankly.

"A call?" A look of surprise flashed across Lu Shan's beautiful face. "A call? How did you call?"

"It seems like something is expecting me to touch it." After Ji Jiayu said this, he sped up, "I couldn't control myself a bit."

Lu Shan had never encountered this situation before, and he was at a loss for words.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to follow Ji Jiayu and observe. He would immediately stop him if anything went wrong.

At the same time, he opened his mouth and recited a passage, condensing it with divine power and sending it into the ears of the guides standing by the lake.

The guides were shocked to hear Lu Shan describe Ji Jiayu's abnormal condition, and one of them immediately rose and flew to the camp to inform the camp's higher-ups.

Two minutes later, Ji Jiayu jumped down from the end of the jade path, landed on the circular steps of Shengyao Terrace, and then quickly climbed the steps.

He saw a rectangular golden jade plate in the center of the circular platform, with a cluster of golden light suspended above the jade plate.

"Is it calling me?" Ji Jiayu looked at the cluster of light in front of him and said suspiciously, "But it doesn't seem like it. It seems to be coming from the West."

Hearing this, Lu Shan was truly shocked. "This golden light cluster is merely the condensation of energy from that treasure, and the true treasure is stored in the Holy City." It's really calling you..."

This was unprecedented, and it would definitely cause a sensation if it spread!

Judging from Ji Jiayu's talent and the treasure's call to him, I fear he will truly be "that person!"

This should have been a happy occasion, but Lu Shan frowned and stared into Ji Jiayu's eyes with a strange light. After a moment, he suddenly extended his palm, and a divine light appeared, then hung above Ji Jiayu's head, seemingly exploding.

He was deeply troubled.

However, at this moment, a tremendous aura suddenly came from the direction of Camp 1. Lu Shan knew that it was the high-ranking officials of Camp 1 who were coming, so he immediately dismissed the thoughts in his heart, and his hand naturally lowered.

After calming down a bit, Lu Shan continued, "You prick your finger now and drip some blood on it. The more blood it absorbs, the more it proves that you are more compatible with the treasure."

"Okay," Ji Jiayu replied quickly.

Then, he picked up the ink-colored short knife placed next to the golden jade plate and gently scratched it on the tip of his right finger. A red blood line appeared, and blood suddenly dripped down.

Ji Jiayu's blood dripped onto the golden light cluster and was immediately absorbed by it. A trace of blood appeared within the golden light.

"It absorbs so quickly!" Lu Shan was surprised.

According to Lu Shan's experience, the faster the golden light cluster absorbs the blood of the Chooser, the more blood it can absorb, and the higher its compatibility with the Chooser.

The second, third, and fourth drop... Drops of blood fell, all of which were absorbed by the golden light cluster. After a while, Ji Jiayu's wound stopped bleeding, but the golden light cluster seemed still dissatisfied, and even took the initiative to release a suction force, sucking the blood from Ji Jiayu's fingertips.

Soon, the golden light cluster was covered in a layer of blood. This was a color Lu San had never seen before! The color of the blood was still deepening.

Seeing the golden light cluster that had swallowed his own blood—no, it should be a golden-red light cluster—Ji Jiayu took out his ink-colored short knife again and slashed directly at his right arm. The intense tingling sensation made Ji Jiayu scream in pain, and immediately after, his blood flew down and flowed into the golden-red light cluster. The color of the light cluster gradually deepened, deepened, and deepened.

The massive loss of blood made Ji Jiayu's face pale, but his face was filled with a smile. Because he knew that judging by the current situation, his compatibility with the treasure must be very high, very high.

As the golden-red light cluster gradually turned blood-red, a golden light also lit up on the Shengyao Terrace, enveloping Ji Jiayu. Lu Shan wanted to stand beside him, but the golden light emitted a powerful repulsive force and pushed Lu Shan out.

At the same time, the true peak of Camp One finally arrived.

At its head was an old woman with silver hair, her face gentle, her brows and eyes smiling, giving one a friendly feeling. However, as she stood on the shore, all the Ming Sheng guides were extremely respectful.

"The King assists the sacrifice."

The Holy Cult reveres the Great Prophet, with a chief priest under him, a priest under him, and a vice-priest as his assistant.

This Wang Yinlan could be considered the number one person in the entire Shengyao Division.

She stood in front of everyone, gazing at the extraordinary Shengyaotai from afar, surprised and a little happy: "After so many years, I finally see hope!"

"Yes, this kind of vision is unprecedented." In the crowd, a guide responded with a slightly surprised tone.

He could have snatched Ji Jiayu, but he didn't expect to kill Lu Shan halfway, but now he's letting Lu Shan pick up the bargain!

Judging by Ji Jiayu's posture, without an initial compatibility of 40%, he wouldn't be surnamed Li! The initial compatibility with the mysterious treasure, for most selectors, is fifteen percent, twenty percent, and only a small number of geniuses can reach twenty-five percent or even thirty percent. In the entire history of the selection, the highest initial compatibility reached 34%, but their movements weren't as big as Ji Jiayu's.

Wang Yinlan clearly had high hopes for Ji Jiayu, saying, "His initial compatibility should be forty-two percent."

"Then, if there are no major accidents, he should be able to reach 95% compatibility by the end, right?" A guide speculated.

The selection process for Camp One was simple. After the selectors tested their initial compatibility, there would be ten mission opportunities. Each time a mission was completed, their compatibility would increase by one to ten percent. Only selectors who achieved more than 80% of their final compatibility were eligible to enter the treasure and attempt to take over and become its master. The higher the compatibility, the greater the chance of success.

In the past few decades, everyone had failed, even a genius with a final compatibility of 92 percent. This inevitably led many guides and high-ranking officials of Divine Chenghai to speculate that someone with a final compatibility of 100 percent could be the owner of the treasure.

But in the end, the match reached 100%. Did such a person really exist?

On the beach here, Wang Yinlan and the guides were waiting for him, and on the Shengyao Terrace there, Ji Jiayu's face was as pale as paper, and he even had a vision before his eyes.

In the vision, he saw a girl about his own age.

The girl wore a shabby leather jacket, messy hair, a dirty face, and a thin figure like a little beggar. But her eyes, golden eyes that exuded a strong sense of indifference, revealed her extraordinary.

What shocked Ji Jiayu even more was that the girl seemed to see him too. The moment they met, Ji Jiayu was dazed and fell straight to the ground.

In the next moment, the golden light in the sky was quickly absorbed by the blood-red light cluster.

Wang Yinlan and the guides in the distance saw the vision disappear and immediately flew off to make their pilgrimage.

After landing on the Shengyao Terrace, Wang Yinlan first crouched in front of Ji Jiayu, reached out to touch his neck, and confirmed that he was breathing normally. However, she was relieved that he had lost too much blood. Immediately after, he stood up and said to everyone behind him, "Take him to rest."

Then, he walked to the golden jade plate, picked up the blood-red light cluster, and carefully sensed it. A few seconds later, a look of surprise appeared on his face. All the guides surrounded him.

"Wang Zhuji, what was his initial compatibility?"

Everyone saw that his expression had changed, and they were all curious, "It won't reach forty-five percent, right?"

"I thought it might be higher!"

"Has it reached 50 percent?"

"Will it? If it really reaches 50%, doesn't he have a chance to achieve a final 100% compatibility? Ten missions, even if he only gets five compatibility points in each mission, that's enough!"

"Is that person really going to be born?"

"..."

Wang Yinlan listened to the guides' heated discussion, but her expression gradually became strange. Everyone also noticed something was wrong, so they shut their mouths and stared at Wang Yinlan.

"You might not believe it..." After a long time, Wang Yinlan took a deep breath and said slowly, "However, I've felt it several times. Although this mass of energy has absorbed all of his blood, the compatibility is only one percent..."

The voice fell, and the audience fell silent.
