In the Qingyun Main Hall.
Song Qianqian instantly felt a surge of power surging within her body.
She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and placed her fair little hand on the stone tablet again.
Very quickly, the results appeared on the stone tablet.
“Spirit root aptitude: True spirit root
“Spirit root attribute: Wind attribute and ice attribute
“Spirit gathering realm: Level six.”
“Spirit gathering realm level six?”
“I’m still young, why don’t you take a look at what kind of spirit root aptitude I have?”
“Wind and ice, these are all rare attributes!”
“Moreover, Junior Sister Song Qianqian was the third true spirit root apart from Senior Brother Hua Feng and Senior Brother Gu Xu, and this aptitude is even stronger than the two senior brothers!”
“Is that considered strong? Junior Elder Victor, why didn’t you say so?”
“Junior elder is a monster-like existence. Comparing him to us is simply an insult to him.”
..
Seeing that everyone had completed the test, Zhang Lingren secretly nodded. He had basically confirmed the list of candidates for this trip to the Heavenly Illusion City.
Then, he walked directly to the top of the main hall and said solemnly, “Now, Victor, Hua Feng, Gu Xu, and Song Qianqian stay behind. The other disciples can leave.”
Although many disciples knew from the result of the test that it was basically impossible for them to be selected into the list.
After all, talent was the most important factor in practicing martial arts, let alone immortal cultivation.
Even if they were dissatisfied, talent was an iron-like fact.
After fifteen minutes, only Victor, Hua Feng, Gu Xu, and Song Qianqian were left in the main hall, as well as the first elder, Song Xiuwen, who was in charge of leading the team.
Zhang Lingren stroked his beard and said with a smile, “A few days ago, I received a message from a flying pigeon. Seven days later, a spirit beast from the Heavenly Sword Mountain will come to take you to the Heavenly Illusion City.
“When I was young, I read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles. Now, I have the chance to see the reappearance of the spiritual energy of the universe. My life is not a loss. For me, the path of immortal cultivation can be taken at any time.
“Now that I’m old, the world would belong to you young people in the future. This is a good opportunity to truly train you. You can also witness the beginning of a brand new era.”
Hearing Zhang Lingren’s sigh, Song Xiuwen also nodded silently.
Originally, he didn’t want his daughter to go to the Heavenly Illusion City, but after hearing his master’s words, he immediately had an idea.
Good swords were forged after countless sharpening, and people were even more so!
Especially now that the spiritual energy had recovered, the world had changed, and others had improved. If you still remained at where you were, there would be a day when you wouldn’t be able to save yourself in a crisis.
Even if it was his daughter, he could not protect her for a lifetime.
Zhang Lingren swept his gaze across everyone’s faces again, and then said, “Very good. Since you are all ready, I am relieved. Many sects and large sects in Yuanwu Continent will send their disciples for this competition.
“Before the start of the competition, there will be a checkpoint that will eliminate about 60% of the people. Only those who pass this checkpoint will be qualified to enter the Heavenly Sword Mountain.”
“60% ?” Hua Feng’s mouth was agape. Didn’t that mean that there was a high possibility that he wouldn’t even be able to enter the mountain?
If he went there and he couldn’t even enter the mountain gate, wouldn’t that be a huge embarrassment!
If it was spread to the sect, where would he put his dignity?
Wouldn’t he be making a fool out of the disciples who couldn’t go?
Hua Feng had always been the number one disciple under the great elder. If he made a fool out of himself, people would gossip about him.
He turned to look at Gu Xu and saw that Gu Xu had a bitter smile on his face. He had always been worried about the matter of entering the Heavenly Sword Mountain.
In the past, the great elder had always said that there was always someone better than him. Now he finally understood. From what he saw, no matter how talented Junior Sister Qianqian was, she was still not good enough.
“Master, about that…”
“What’s the matter?”
Hua Feng originally wanted to say whether it was okay to forfeit. Since he couldn’t even enter the door, he shouldn’t embarrass himself. But when he saw Song Xiuwen’s gaze, Hua Feng felt a chill at the back of his head. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and changed his words, “When do we set off?”
How could Song Xiuwen not know his disciple’s thoughts? He fiercely glared at him and said,
“Were you on a trip just now? Didn’t you hear what your grandmaster just said? We will leave in seven days. Go back and make preparations, you will depart when the spirit beasts of the Heavenly Sword Mountain arrive, do you have any questions?”
Victor pondered for a moment and said, “Master, eldest senior brother, I have a question.”
“Yes, ask.”
“Is there any reward for that competition? After all, such a big sect should at least have some practical things, such as storage bags, interspatial rings, and treasures.”
When this question was asked, Hua Feng and Gu Xu shrunk their necks.
The two of them were still worried about how to enter the mountain and how to return to the sect without losing too much dignity. Victor, on the other hand, questioned about the prize. This was the difference between them.
They could only say that he was worthy of being the youngest elder!
Zhang Lingren looked at Victor with appreciation and said, “According to their message, the first place will be rewarded with a Foundation Establishment Pill! However, this pill could not be immediately cashed in. Instead, it requires you to officially enter the Heavenly Sword Mountain and reach the 13th level of the spirit gathering realm.
“The introduction of the Foundation Establishment Pill in the message was also very concise. It can directly allow people to enter the foundation establishment realm, which is properly entering the path of immortal cultivation
“In addition to the Foundation Establishment Pill, there is also a low-grade Xuan-grade spirit tool. You can choose any type of attack or defense.
“The second to fifth places will only be rewarded with a low-grade Xuan-grade spirit tool. The sixth to tenth places will be rewarded with a spirit fusion pill, which is also said to be a top-grade medicinal pill.
“From the eleventh to the thirtieth place, you will be rewarded with a high yellow-grade spirit weapon…”
Heaven and earth are black and yellow, is this considered an agreed-upon level?
Xuan-grade?
It’s not bad. After all, I’m not a blacksmith, so I can’t ask for too much.
Victor smiled slightly, and his thoughts moved. “You can choose any spiritual weapons? Any good swords?”
Song Xiuwen, who was at the side, also smiled. “Then you’ll have an advantage in choosing swords. The Heavenly Sword Mountain has been established for so many years, and it has accumulated countless resources. Not to mention other things, there are all kinds of peerless swords, you can choose any!”
Foundation Establishment Pill, Xuan-grade spirit sword, sword control techniques, or even stronger aptitudes..
When he thought of this, a smile appeared on Victor’s face.
When Song Xiuwen saw Victor’s smile, he couldn’t help but think to himself, “This kid isn’t thinking of getting first place, right?”
One had to know that almost all the prodigies from the major sects would participate in this competition. Other than their Qingyun Sect, the sword hut and other generations weren’t any weaker than them.
However, after thinking about it carefully, with Victor’s current strength, it was not impossible. If he could get first place, then the Qingyun Sect would be famous throughout the world.
And in Victor’s opinion, if he could not even defeat those so-called geniuses, how could he talk about the path to immortality?
Seven days later.
A clear eagle’s whistle sounded from the horizon, and the guard disciple of the Qingyun Sect immediately turned pale with fright.
He had never seen such a mighty eagle before. It had a muscular body, huge wings, and sharp eyes. If he hadn’t seen the hoop around its neck and the huge palanquin on its back, he would have thought that it was an invasion of demonic beasts.
