Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator

"A spiritual affinity of golden grade! Such heaven blessed cultivators actually exists!", the lead girl among the five sword fairies murmured to herself. There was amazement and curiousity both in her eyes as she looked towards Zhan Chen.

The fairies from the Serene wood peak were equally surprised as they observed Zhan Chen with amazement in their eyes. Their curiousity increased as they watched Zhan Chen walking towards the five silhouttes of the forefathers.

"No matter how much is the talent, this is the true test. If he can even walk halfway of this path then I will admit that he is superior to me despite his age", the haughty looking girl among the five sword fairies spoke.

Her other companions didn't comment as they followed each step of Zhan Chen with baited breath. The same could be said for the Xuantian sect elders who were waiting for Zhan Chen's performance eagerly.

Zhan Chen raised his head and took a good look at the five silhouttes before advancing. He took a step forward leisurely as a heavy pressure fell upon him with his step.

'Suppression on mind and soul!', Zhan Chen thought to himself inside his mind before taking forward another step. The pressure falling upon him multiplied as soon as he moved forward another step.

"A decent amount of pressure. But unfortunately such pressure wouldn't work on my mind and soul", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

He appeared unbothered as he moved forward few more steps. Collective gasps came from the surrounding as everyone saw him approaching the halfway mark.

"Impossible. How is he doing this?", Nu Hao thought to himself as he looked towards Zhan Chen with a look of disbelief on his face. His eyes widen up when he saw Zhan Chen touching the halfway mark.

"Is it a dream! How can an eighteen year young man pull this up!", Nu Hao turned to self denial after seeing Zhan Chen standing on the halfway mark.

His shock and confusion was natural as no one below Heavenly tribulation realm had ever touched the halfway mark in the path to the silhouettes of five forefathers.

Zhan Chen stopped for a moment after reaching the halfway mark. "Something has changed suddenly", Zhan Chen murmured to himself and looked towards the silhouettes of five forefathers.

'Shall I go forward or not?', he pondered to himself because he was aware that he had already done enough. The pressure was already at an unimaginable level and even a peak Martial ascension realm cultivator couldn't tolerate the pressure that was coming from the silhouttes of five forefathers.

In such a condition, Zhan Chen found it wise to step back at this moment. He didn't want to attract any more eyeballs that could turned detrimental for himself.

He was just turning to leave when he felt a certain aura coming from his body. He felt confused for a moment but his confusion turned into exhilaration after he realised what the familiar aura actually was!

"Celestial night!", he murmured to himself with surprise and joy on his face. Celestial night was the divine grade treasure which he had picked up from his family 's armoury. The sword had many peculiarity surrounding it. So, he had choose the sword to accompany him while leaving the Zhan family.

After his persistent tries, he had managed to establish a connection with his sword. It happened when he had just crossed the Shredded mountain region and was in the Hundred blossom city of the Earth province.

After the connection was established, the sword had changed in a profound way. It managed to awake the sword spirit and he was very much interested to interact with it. But to his utter dismay, the sword had vanished just after he established a connection with it. He had searched for it during the Grand sect competition but he couldn't find it no matter how much he tried.

The sword 'Celestial night' was finally giving a reaction just when he was about to leave the test. It appeared like the sword was nudging him to go ahead with the test.

"Any trouble worth it as long I manage to satisfy my sword. Otherwise, It will be too much trouble if it tries to hide itself again", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

He stopped his backtracking movement and stepped forward with a steady posture. There was curiousity as well as determination on his face as he faced the silhouettes of the five forefathers.

There was a different pressure coming from the silhouettes along with the mind and soul Suppression. Zhan Chen could feel the pressure after he touched the half way mark along the path to the five forefathers.

"What is this pressure! One need have some understanding about a heavenly law to counter it', Zhan Chen thought to himself with a curious look on his face. He didn't hesitate anymore and decided to expose one of his secrets infront of the crowd.

His aura changed all of a sudden and he seemed more like an upright sword rather than a leisurely cultivator. The sword within his body hummed a little after Zhan Chen embraced true nature of his self.

The new pressure loosened up after the sword aura came out of Zhan Chen's body. Zhan Chen stepped forward unhindered for few steps before the pressure coming from the five silhouttes make his stop on his path once again.

"Who has designed this test? One need to expose his proficiency in heavenly laws if he or she want to approach the silhouettes of the five forefathers", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

He didn't stop for long as his aura took another turn. The crowd was already speechless from a while back. Their entire attentions were on Zhan Chen as they witnessed the miracle infront of him.

"Sword intent!", the leader of the sword fairies murmured after Zhan Chen's aura changed for the second time. There was clear disbelief on her face as she saw Zhan Chen who was standing like an upright sword.

The swords of onlookers started to buzz as if they were cheering for Zhan Chen. Even the sword of the five sword fairies started to buzz after Zhan Chen exposed his sword intent.

"Unbelievable! I admit that I am inferior to him", the haughty looking girl among the sword fairies commented. There was a deflated look on her face as she saw the miracle named Zhan Chen with amazement in her eyes.

Zhan Chen didn't face any more obstacles after he exposed his sword intent. His path was smooth as he walked towards the silhouettes of five forefathers with an even pace.

The pressure didn't heighten further after Zhan Chen exposed his sword intent. Celestial night also stopped giving responses after he reached end of the path and stood infront of the five silhouttes of the forefathers of the Xuantian sect.

"That special pressure seems to rile up Celestial night. Now that the pressure is nonexistent, it has stopped reacting", Zhan Chen thought to himself.
