Zhu Tian initially wanted to go looking for Ji Hao and control the condition of the Savage Sword Sect, after confirming that all was alright he had the intention to confine himself in the Tenth Heaven and cultivate the Third Spirit in this new body, but after coming here he found that the Savage Sword Sect was threatened by an external force.

So he changed his plans, now he would confine his First Body and Second Soul in the Tenth Heaven to help the assimilation of the Nine Heavens Dao meanwhile he will remain here in the Savage Sword Sect and cultivate the Third Spirit meanwhile protecting the sect.

This would speed up the velocity of the assimilation of the Nine Heavens Dao and he would reap the double of the benefits spending half the effort.

The motif as to why he would spend his time in the Savage Sword Sect was simply because he wanted to spend time with other people without the others being overly servile or respectful, although he was a tempered immortal and the strongest under and above the Heavens he still had a rather free and easygoing nature. And what place was better than the Savage Sword Sect for that?

Zhu Tian walked leseaurely toward the gate and suddenly in front stopped of it.

"Little one wants to enter my Savage Sword Sect? "

An ancient and majestic voice rumbled, the voice was tired and indifferent.

Zhu Tian clasped his hands and spoke without humility nor arrogance.

"Yes esteemed elder, I, Zhu Tian want to become a disciple of the mighty Savage Sword Sect!"

The ancient voice laughed softly and the said in a less menacing voice.

"Good attitude, good attitude. Advance to the examination room, disciple Mei Ling show little friend Zhu the way. Little friend Zhu, I wish you luck. "

As the ancient voice diseapeared Zhu Tian clasped his hands and waited.

Little later a young woman appeared from the gate, she was probably seventeen years old.

Her cultivation base wasn't ordinary nor was her rare beauty, she had long eyelash, rare blue fox like eyes, rosy lips and white teeth, she had a refined and intelligent aura around her. Her cultivation was at the peak of the seventh layer of the Body Strengthening Stage, for the low resource of the Savage Sword Sect her talent was truly not bad.

"Little brother Zhu, follow me. "

Her voice was calm and collected but Zhu Tian could detect the traces of doubt and fear in her face. It was fear for the future and doubt of what will happen.

Zhu Tian only nodded and followed her.

After passing the gate they still weren't inside the Sect instead they were in an outer area where various buildings meant to the outsiders were.

Later Zhu Tian and Mei Ling entered a building where an old man was seated behind a stone stele, the stele was very strange, it had various golden coloured grooves that gave a mysterious feeling to the stone. The grooves made various mystique forms and pictures, it was truly surreal.

The old man looked at Zhu Tian for a moment with a lazy look and then pointed at the stele and said.

"Put your hand on the center of the stone, green inadequate talent, blue bellow ordinary, purple ordinary, red good, orange rare, yellow distinguished, white excellent, gray heaven sent. "

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

Zhu Tian recognised the stele as a Meridian Grasping Stone, but the perfection between Heavens and Earth comes from the number nine, nine for the Earth nine for the Heavens meanwhile the principal meridian that could determine the talent are also nine but just now the man clearly stated only eight types of talents.

"Elder, is gray the maximum level of talent? "

Zhu Tian asked quizzically, if that was real then the Third Heaven changed greatly from the last time he was here.

"Kid, indeed you are right, there is the ninth type of talent, black! But do you really think that anyone here in this Savage Sword Sect could have talent major to orange? Ha, I, Li Meng, in all my life never saw someone who had talent major to orange! Kid you are just a farmer from this corner of the Great State of Zuo and are already thinking about the ninth type of talent? Under the heaven it's impossible for black talent to appear! If you have purple talent then this one will slap himself ever time he sees you! Heck, even kids today are wasting my time! "

The elder was truly abnormal, in a moment he spat so much impoliteness that even the easygoing Zhu Tian frowned. He never thought that this elder was so stressed that he could even vent on random people.

Zhu Tian's eyes flashed with a strange light, suddenly he closed them and his mouth rose forming a slight smile.

PLOP PLOP PLOP PLOP PLOP PLOP

In a moment six almost inaudible sounds came from Zhu Tian's body, only he heard them.

Zhu Tian opened his eyes and advanced toward the stele.

"Elder look carefully! "

Without any notice Zhu Tian put his hand on the stele, in that moment a warm flow passed in his meridians doing no harm nor good.

The stele shone with green light, then the light became blue, after some seconds it became purple and slowly after became red, in the end it became orange.

The elder and Mei Ling gasped.

But the light shone again and in a moment it faded to become yellow, it continued fading until it became white.

In that moment the elder's eyes were wide open and he was almost trembling.

Mei Ling covered her small mouth with her hands, astonishment was in her crystal like eyes.

The light darkened and became gray, but that didn't stop, in a moment it became black.

The elder eyes moistened and he was almost crying, strangely he wasn't angry but instead happy.

Suddenly the black light faded and golden light shone covering every angle of the room.

CRACK

In that moment the stele broke in thirteen parts and the light faded.

Zhu Tian looked at the elder with a smile and said.

"Indeed black is the perfection under the Heavens, but my name is not Zhu Tian for nothin! "
