Chapter 339: Detection Barrier, Strength Test Pillar
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This barrier was like a natural moat. The cultivators who passed it were filled with self-satisfaction, while those who did not pass it left this place with dirt on their faces. They would return to the spirit energy flying ship.
No one dared to cause trouble. Even if they were dissatisfied, they could only endure the grievance and slowly leave this place.
After all, the elder had already made it very clear before that only those who passed the barrier had the qualifications to enter the next test. Those who were blocked outside by the formation barrier could only blame themselves.
Of course, among those who were excluded, a small portion of them did not have sufficient cultivation base, or they did not have enough spiritual roots, or they were simply too old.
These were all people who came here to fish in troubled waters. It was obvious that these people were just trying their luck.
However, they did not expect that the Spirit Firmament Sect’s test would see through their undergarments just by using the array.
Fortunately, these elders did not care about such things. After all, there would always be cultivators who came here to fish in troubled waters.
Soon, as the cultivators entered and left, it was Su Yi’s turn.
Su Yi’s expression was solemn, and Yue Tianming’s eyes were also solemn.
Their eyes moved around, and no one knew what they were thinking.
At this moment, the black patterns of the flood dragon on the back of Su Yi’s hand suddenly sensed something.
This caused Hu Yan, who was in the distance, to involuntarily look at him again.
All of a sudden, he heard Dugu Jiu transmit a voice in his mind.
“Master, are you afraid that the array will detect your true strength?”
“Little Jiu?” Dugu Jiu’s voice suddenly sounded in his mind, and he was slightly shocked.
Why did Dugu Jiu wake up from his deep sleep at this time?
However, because of the soul contract, he immediately knew that there was a hidden meaning behind Dugu Jiu’s words.
“Hurry up and say what you have in mind. Don’t keep me guessing.”
At this time, Chen Xuan saw that Su Yi and Yue Tianming had not moved for a long time. He greeted them with a happy expression before walking towards the barrier.
“Brothers, I’ll take my leave first.”
He and Yue Tianming nodded slightly. After Chen Xuan had completely passed through the barrier, Yue Tianming thought for a moment. A glint flashed across his eyes before he finally spoke to him.
“Su Yi, I’ll take my leave first.”
“Okay.” Following Yue Tianming’s departure, there was no one else familiar with Su Yi. He was currently communicating with Dugu Jiu in his heart.
“Little Jiu, since you understand my thoughts, then you should have a solution, right?”
“Of course there, Master. Master doesn’t need to worry. Just go. I will take care of everything.” Dugu jiu seemed to be extremely confident in this aspect, but Su Yi still did not quite believe it. Heaven knew if this guy was lying or not.
One must know that Dugu Jiu was still a soul body. After acknowledging him as his master, he was able to store him within the seal.
At this moment, Little Xie also spoke in his mind. One could only hear Little Xie faintly say, “Big Bad Guy, believe in Little Jiu. He is from the demon race. Moreover, the demon race is quite good at concealing their strength. After all, this is their ability to mingle with the human race.”
After hearing what Little Xie said, Su Yi began to believe a lot of it. Since that was the case, he would trust him for once.
When he thought of this, there was no longer any hesitation on his face. He directly walked towards the barrier.
Little did he know that while he was conversing with Dugu Jiu in his mind, Hu Yan in the distance had been watching him closely. There was a deep doubt in her seductive eyes.
Very soon, Su Yi arrived in front of the array barrier and saw him step into it.
This array barrier was like something scanning through his body.
From his spiritual root, realm, and then to his bone age, all these information was detected under these arrays.
However, just as he was passing through the array barrier, a trace of mysterious power was emitted from the black flood dragon mark on the back of his hand and then merged into his body.
It was as if he had passed through a curtain of water. Other than feeling a trace of resistance, he easily passed the first test.
Very soon, as time passed, cultivators continued to pass the test and leave the place.
After two hours, out of nearly 3,000 cultivators, only about 1,500 had passed the first test.
It could be seen that this sort of selection was like a great wave sweeping through the sand.
Those who did not have talent and were not strong enough were all eliminated.
Otherwise, why would the Spirit Firmament Sect need these cultivators?
However, just passing the first test was not enough. Only by passing the next two tests could one become a disciple of the Spirit Firmament Sect.
Soon, the green-robed old man appeared in front of them again. He looked at the cultivators and remained expressionless. These 1,500 or so cultivators were all qualified in terms of age and talent, but it was still not enough to be qualified.
The elder waved his hand again, and in the eyes of the 1,500 or so cultivators, the huge formation slowly changed.
One after another, the formation patterns formed a pillar. This pillar was incomparably huge, and it was estimated that it would take ten people to encircle it.
The pillar that was formed by the formation was divided into nine levels. Each level was covered with densely packed formation runes, and it looked very mysterious.
At this moment, the green-robed elder spoke. A dignified voice sounded in the air and entered the ears of every cultivator.
“Everyone, listen up. This pillar is the second test. Everyone, use your offensive spells and light up the pillar. Those at the sixth level and above will pass the test!”
When the cultivators heard this, they were all eager to give it a try. This second test was clearly to test their offensive power.
As for how much offensive power they had at the late stage of the foundation establishment stage, only the heavens knew.
The green-robed old man looked at the thousands of cultivators who looked like they were about to make a move, and the corners of his expressionless mouth slightly curled up.
In his eyes, these cultivators were still too immature. The test pillar was divided into nine levels. Each level represented 10,000 offensive power. If one wanted to to reach the sixth level, they had to have at least 60,000 offensive power.
At the same time, this was also the cruelest test.
Although there were more than 1,500 people, there were probably less than 200 people who could pass the test.
This was truly a great wave sweeping through the sand!
Otherwise, without equivalent strength in cultivation realms, they would only be worms in the Spirit Firmament Sect.
Soon, as the test began, a cultivator came in front of the pillar and began to use his strongest spell. Then, he struck at the pillar.
However, the pillar formed by the formation only flickered slightly. After that, only a third-level light lit up.
The face of the cultivator who cast the spell was ashen. He was able to pass the first test entirely because his realm was formed from medicinal pills.
His strength could not keep up with his realm at all.
He, who was at the seventh layer of the late foundation establishment stage, actually only had an attack power of 30,000?
As that person was teleported out of the array, a figure emerged from the crowd of cultivators.
“Tsk, this trash shouldn’t come out and make a fool of himself. Let me go next!”
