Chapter 3
1479 Words
There was no need for a strict identity verification during the Heavenly Sect admission because the sect has an ancient array set up around the entire sect that prevents those with malicious intention and demonic cultivators to enter and no one would also be dumbed enough to fight or do anything out of ordinary inside the territory of the most powerful Sect in the cultivation world.
**
A fat young cultivator from a wealthy family was causing a ruckus, riding a golden carriage while being too full of himself. Looking at the cultivators gathered at the front of the Heavenly Sect gate from all over the realm, some were rogue or wandering cultivators, some where from a humble cultivation family, while some cultivators came from a good background. Whatever origin they may have, they all have one common goal and that is to enter the Heavenly Sect.
"I hope these losers wouldn't enter the Sect with me. They all don't have the qualification to enter the sect with me." The arrogant fat cultivator said not knowing that other cultivators didn't put him in their eyes, he was merely a joke to them.
'It must be a son from a mid grade family with mediocre talents who dare to be arrogant in front of the Heavenly Sect.' Wen Zhixue thought standing at the top of a platform, he is one of the inner disciple of the Heavenly Sect responsible for the recruitment.
"All participants must gather in front of the Gong Pavilion for the first test." Wen Zhixue announced using spiritual Qi to amplify his voice.
After the announcement, the participants hastily went to the Gong Pavilion located at the center of the Sect and some can't hide the nervousness and excitement plastered on their faces. The participants numbered to a hundred thousand so even the senior disciples of Heavenly Sect were called out to manage the crowd.
When the Chen Clan young disciples arrived at the gate of the Heavenly Sect, everyone looked at them in awe at the sight of the Dragon Cloud ship . They all know how expensive it is to own an artifact especially for transportation. While Foundation Building cultivators and those in higher stages can fly using their sword Qi, it was still very convenient using an artifact especially when travelling long distances added that the speed of the Dragon Cloud ship is that of a Soul Formation cultivator.
Later on, Chen Yuan went out of the ship looking like a heavenly immortal, an unparalleled beauty.
He stood there with an air of arrogance naturally coming from a noble background but he was still so captivating that disciples all over the realm have shades of red on their ears slowly crept to their cheeks the longer they look at him. How they wish they can get closer to him or just a glance from the beauty would be enough for them.
Whether it be men o women including the geniuses of their generation wants to curry his favor and attention. They were even willing to become his servant to always be with him.
"T-that is young master Chen Yuan of the Chen Clan!" One of the onlookers shyly said while stuttering and her cheeks became crimson red from embarrassment.
"Peerless Genius Yuan." Another one from the crowd added. When they all recognized him, there was even more admiration plastered on their faces.
The cultivation world was never lacking in terms of talents and beauties but comparing common beauties to the person in front of them right now would be just like a field of weeds and Chen Yuan as the blooming white lotus dancing in rhymes with the wind. If anyone didn't know Chen Yuan's background, they would think the person in front is a demonic fox. Only a fox demon is comparable to an immortal because of their natural charm. Seduction runs from their blood and origin but the on lookers simultaneously thought that a fox demon compared to this beauty will still be neglected and overshadowed.
Wen Zhixue saw Chen Yuan, his adam's apple bobbed up and down accompanied by his crimsom red colored face. It was his first time admiring someone so he wasn't sure of what to do. He immediately chanted spells to calm himself down but even the spells barely made him at ease.
Wen Zhixue held a deep breath to held to recollect himself.
"There are 3 tests for the recruitment. The first test well determine your spirit roots, the second test will determine your current cultivation stage while the third test will be a sparring competition." The senior disciple announced in the platform and Chen Yuan with a cold face although he may not look like it but he listened attentively.
Once in a while there are still disciples who look at him in secrecy then blush. A young man from the participants at the same age as Chen Yuan was staring at him intently and the young cultivators ears turned bright red.
"All participants form a line of 4 then proceed at the top of the platform and place your hand on the Black Dragon Pearl and its color and glow will determine your spirit roots."
The spirit world cultivation is divided into 6 spiritual roots and the higher the spiritual roots the greater possibility of reaching higher cultivation stages.
Divine Spiritual Roots, those who have this root will surely ascend and become an immortal if there is no external interference and all major clans will surely fight for to obtain the gifted one.
Only one person will be given the divine spiritual roots every hundred thousand years so it was almost a legend in the cultivation world.
Celestial Spiritual Roots, this is a hybrid or mutated spiritual root and only one in ten thousand elite cultivators will possess this type of root such as the Phoenix Fire, Thunder, Ice and Wood Spiritual Roots.
Heaven Spiritual Roots, those who have a single spiritual root. Those who have this type of Spiritual Roots are already considered elites in the cultivation world.
Earth Spiritual Roots, this is a double spiritual root and is also considered a talent but unlike Heaven Spiritual Roots, the difference is really like Heaven and Earth.
3 spiritual Roots is just a little bit better compared to 4 Spiritual Roots which is said to be a waste spiritual root because those who have this type of spiritual root will only be at the Foundation Establishment stage for the rest of their lives and if they are lucky enough they might be able to achieve golden core with the help of medium grade panaces created by Alchemists.
The participants were individually called up front to test their Spiritual Roots.
"Heaven Spiritual Roots!" announced by a young lively girl in the platform and the crowd of participants cheered in exhilaration and some were just envious.
"3 Spiritual Roots!"
"Earth Spiritual Roots!"
"4 Spiritual Roots!"
"Earth Spiritual Roots!"
"Earth Spiritual Roots!"
"3 Spiritual Roots!"
"Heaven Spiritual Roots!"
"3 Spiritual Roots!"
"4 Spiritual Roots!"
Announced one after another until it's time for Chen Yuan to go up to the platform
Chen Yuan put his slender white hand at the top of the Black Dragon pearl inserting a little bit of Qi into it and there was a blinding purple light which made everyone thunderstruck in astonishment.
"Celestial Thunder Spiritual Roots!" An elder appeared out of thin air and announced excitedly.
'We finally have another Celestial Phoenix Fire Spiritual Roots in a thousand years! I must tell the good news to the Sect Leader immediately.' The elder thought then hastily went inside the Gong Pavilion.
Celestial Phoenix Spiritual Root is one of the most powerful spiritual root amongst the Celestial Spiritual Root, it was the rarest and second only to the Celestial Thunder Spiritual Roots and Divine Spiritual roots.
The crowd cheered in astonishment and even the Heavenly Sect disciples. No one could bring themselves to have malicious thoughts towards Chen Yuan who they already regard as an immortal.
They all thought that because Chen Yuan is very beautiful, his Spiritual Roots is just fitting for him. They all praised Chen Yuan in their minds while their ears turning red in anticipation and their hearts rapidly beating.
The announcer proceeded testing the spiritual roots of the rest of the participants but unlike before, the crowd wasn't that excited for they have already seen the best of the best.
After the first test, the senior inner Sect disciples who were responsible for the recruitment announced that all those who have 3 and 4 Spiritual Roots failed the test.
Out of respect to those who participated the recruitment and failed, they were given the chance to watch the rest of the tests.
More than half of the hundred thousand participants failed the first test and now the test 2 officially begins...
