Chapter 56: Spirit Cloud Mystic Realm, Yu Xuelan
Through the Heaven Enlightenment Mirror Avatar, Qi Ming could clearly see the actions of all the participants. After obtaining the corresponding information, they quickly rushed into the dense forest.
One had to know, in the territory of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect, there were mountain ranges and various different wild beasts living there. There were even demon beasts and demons who had cultivated and reached human form.
Of course, after the Heaven Enlightenment Assembly began, the powerful demon beasts had already been restricted to the range of the Heaven Enlightenment Assembly. They did not have to worry about these participants encountering demon beasts that they could not resist.
However, some weak demon beasts were still not something ordinary people could deal with.
At this moment, Qi Ming watched all the participants from an omniscient point of view.
It was as if he was watching a grand battle.
Roar!
Beast roars!
In a forest, a huge two-headed tiger appeared. This was a very common half-demon beast in the Heaven Enlightenment Sect. It had not even reached the first level Qi Refinement realm and could only be considered a bloodline mutation.
“Two-Headed Tiger.”
“Gasp…”
“How did we encounter such a terrifying beast so quickly?”
“What should we do?”
“Be careful.”
Everyone exclaimed.
In Qi Ming’s opinion, this two-headed tiger could be killed with a single breath, but in the eyes of these mortals, it was a terrifying ferocious beast.
Roar!
The two-headed tiger pounced over, bringing with it waves of stench.
“Attack!”
Immediately, several agile figures rushed out. They held sharp weapons and even used martial techniques to kill this two-headed tiger after a series of battles.
“These are mortal martial artists.”
Qi Ming was a little interested after seeing this. Therefore, he observed carefully and used the Heaven Enlightenment Mirror Avatar to pry into all the secrets of the martial artists.
“Ordinary martial artists cultivate secret manuals to train their blood and qi. They will condense internal energy in their bodies and connect their eight meridians.”
Qi Ming said, “It is divided into the Postnatal realm and Connate realm.”
“Connate martial artists have reached the limit. They have unblocked their eight meridians and twelve vein channels. They can interact with the spiritual qi of heaven and earth and reach the ceiling of a mortal martial artist.”
“In fact, Connate martial artists are only equivalent to the first level Qi Refinement realm.”
“At the Postnatal realm, it is divided according to the number and extent of opened meridians: Small Success Postnatal, Large Success Postnatal, and Perfection Postnatal.”
“On the other hand, there are many participants who have reached the Connate realm. Most of them are descendants of itinerant cultivators, disciples of cultivation families, or relatives of the Emperor.”
Time passed.
The Heaven Enlightenment Assembly had already officially begun. All the participants were undergoing the test. The journey to the Spirit Cloud Mystic Realm was also a disguised test for them.
“You should go.”
At this moment, Lü Qingyan instructed the twelve outer sect elders.
“Yes.”
“…”
The twelve outer sect elders of the Green Cloud Peak nodded and flew into the sky. They left the ship and stepped into the spatial passageway. They were all teleported away.
“Where are they going?” Qi Ming asked.
“Although the Heaven Enlightenment Assembly has already made many arrangements and basically no accidents will happen, as a precautionary measure, the outer sect elders of the twelve peaks will use the spatial passageway to go to various places of the five mystic realms and protect them in case of any unexpected situation.” Lü Qingyan explained.
“Understood.” Qi Ming nodded.
On the ship of the other eleven peaks, a total of 132 outer sect elders left the ship and teleported away through the spatial passageway, heading to various places in the five mystic realms.
The five great Mystic Realms of this Heaven Enlightenment Assembly were not naturally formed. Instead, they were mystic realms that the elders of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect had specially opened for this Heaven Enlightenment Assembly.
Immediately after, the legacy disciples and inner sect elders of the various peaks also left the ship. They entered the castles of the various peaks in Heaven Enlightenment City and watched the situation and scene of the test.
If they liked it, they could directly take some in as disciples after the Heaven Enlightenment Assembly ended.
In the Green Cloud Fort, Qi Ming, Lü Qingyan, Tan Chengling, and Cui Qing sat at the top of the Green Cloud Castle. They raised their heads and looked at the scene reflected by the Heaven Enlightenment Mirror.
In the other eleven peaks, they were also quietly watching the assessment scene.
“I wonder if there will be a super genius who can directly become a legacy disciple in this Heaven Enlightenment Assembly. I’m looking forward to it.”
“Just watch carefully.”
“Even if there is, they will probably be taken by the Green Cloud Peak.”
“That might not be the case.”
“It still depends on fate.”
“…”
The inner sect elders of the eleven peaks conversed via voice transmission.
Qi Ming could also hear it.
At this moment, in the assessment area, the battle had already begun.
Moreover, it became more and more intense.
“Ah!!!”
“Save me! Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!”
“I am a direct descendant of the Chen Family of the North River. If you kill me, our Chen Family will not let you off. You will definitely die!”
“No!”
“…”
All kinds of situations were happening.
One had to know, the Heaven Enlightenment Assembly was held every three years.
This was because every three years, all the servant disciples of the twelve peaks of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect would be expelled from the sect because they did not pass the Outer Sect Assessment. They would need to add new servant disciples.
Coupled with the fact that there were around 5,000 servant disciples in each peak, they would definitely accept 60,000 servant disciples.
Apart from that, there were an uncertain number of outer sect and inner sect disciples recruited.
As for the legacy disciples, they were not guaranteed to appear in every Heaven Enlightenment Assembly.
No matter what, among the 1,809,450 participants, only 70,000 to 80,000 would be accepted. The probability of being accepted in the Heaven Enlightenment Assembly was only about 30%.
Through the Heaven Enlightenment Mirror Avatar, Qi Ming could clearly know that only half an hour had passed since the beginning. 10,000 people had died, and 30,000 had been devoured by the other participants and eliminated.
“What?” Qi Ming exclaimed softly, a hint of surprise and confusion appearing on his face, “It’s only been half an hour, and someone has already entered the Spirit Cloud Mystic Realm successfully.”
“So fast?” Lü Qingyan was also a little surprised.
“Legacy Disciple Qi, can you let us take a look at the scene?” Elder Tan asked.
“Okay.” Qi Ming nodded.
Swish!
He waved his right hand and transformed into a projection through the Heaven Enlightenment Mirror. It was about a meter in diameter and was far inferior to the void mirror outside.
“This is…”
In the scene, what greeted his eyes was a stunning girl with an alluring figure, beautiful face, and a cold aura. Her legs were round and slender, and they were white like jade. Her waist was slender and soft, but it was filled with strength.
Her speed was very fast. As she jumped through the forest, it was certain that she used the movement technique of the mortal world. Her speed surpassed the others.
“Connate martial artist.”
Cui Qing said, “She should be 16 years old. Moreover, her innate inner strength is stable and tenacious. There are no signs of instability. This means that she did not take any spiritual herbs and relied on her talent to reach the level of a Connate martial artist at 16 years old.”
“With such talent, in the mortal world, it’s enough to be ranked at the top.”
“Mm.” Tan Chengling nodded, “Although we haven’t tested her potential through the five assessments, we can confirm that she can at least become an outer sect disciple or even an inner sect disciple.”
“As for whether she can become a legacy disciple, that’s not certain.”
Lü Qingyan asked, “Junior Brother, can you use the Heaven Enlightenment Mirror to investigate this young lady’s background?”
“I’ll try.” Qi Ming said.
Buzz!
With a thought, immediately, beside the projection in front of him, a small virtual screen appeared. On this virtual screen, it introduced the girl in extreme detail.
“Her name is Yu Xuelan.”
Qi Ming said, “16 years old. She came from the Anshi Kingdom, which is under the jurisdiction of the Green Cloud Peak. Moreover, she’s the daughter of the relatively famous Duke Yu in the Anshi Kingdom.”
“Anshi Kingdom.”
Lü Qingyan pondered for a moment, “Is there a noble with the surname Yu?”
“This…”
Elder Tan and Elder Cui looked at each other and said, “There are indeed dukes with the surname Yu. However, a month ago, the 358 people in the Yu royal residence, including the maidservants and servants, were attacked by the Demon Sect and were annihilated overnight.”
“So ruthless.” Qi Ming said.
“Is it ruthless?” Lü Qingyan shook her head, “Those crazy Demon Sect members would not care about the life and death of mortals at all. In order to refine demonic cultivator treasures, massacres have happened before.”
“That’s why this Yu Xuelan is a genius whose parents died and whose family was destroyed. She’s a genius who bears a deep grudge.” Qi Ming said.
“It should be.”
Lü Qingyan and the others nodded.
Qi Ming smacked his lips, and his gaze sized up Yu Xuelan as he mumbled internally, “Such a background and such encounters really feel like the treatment of a protagonist.”
At this moment, Yu Xuelan had already arrived at the entrance to the Spirit Cloud Mystic Realm. It was a vortex door that sat on the top of a mountain.
Swish!
Yu Xuelan did not hesitate and stepped into the Spirit Cloud Mystic Realm.
A few hours later, one after another, participants entered the Spirit Cloud Mystic Realm. The first batch of participants were mostly disciples of cultivation families, descendants of itinerant cultivators, and relatives of the emperors and kingdoms.
The second batch, the third batch…
Five hours later, all the participants who could enter the Spirit Cloud Mystic Realm entered. Those who could not were either killed, or eliminated after losing the Heaven Enlightenment Seal, or severely injured and unable to move.
Normally speaking, these eliminated people would be directly teleported out of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect. From then on, they would no longer have any fate with the sect. Perhaps they could step onto the path of cultivation, but it was definitely impossible for them to join the Heaven Enlightenment Sect.
In the Spirit Cloud Mystic Realm, the space was quite vast. In this mystic realm space, there were clouds of different colors floating. These were spiritual clouds condensed from the five elemental spiritual qi.
One had to know, the Spirit Cloud Mystic Realm was used to test the aptitude of the ‘spirit root’.
Normally speaking, as long as one could absorb a spirit cloud, they would at least have the lowest five-attribute spirit root. They would not have a spirit root if they could not even absorb a spirit cloud.
Without a spirit root, it was impossible to step onto the path of cultivation, unless one obtained a huge fortuitous encounter and gained a spirit root artificially.
However, such fortune was not something that these participants could come into contact with.
It was basically impossible.
“Such speed.”
Lü Qingyan looked at Yu Xuelan in surprise, “She can absorb three spirit clouds in such a short period of time. She must have a third level three-attribute spirit root at least!”
