In the morning of the next day, the elder running the test has gathered all participate in the admission test. The man looked to be around sixty but his cultivation looks to be around Origin realm so his real age should be around three or four thousand. He had long grey hair and wore a black and red robe but still gave off the aura of an expert.
“Welcome, I’m am elder Mo and I teach and specialized in alchemy. The admission test is split into three stages. The first stage is talent and spirit vein test but as long you can step into the xiantian realm you pass round one. The second stage is strength test which is mainly to eliminate those who raise their cultivation by overusing resources, and the third is month long survival test,” The elder softy said, but it still reached the hundred test takers.
“What why did they add survival test this year?” a participate asked the elder.
“The sect master decided to add this test as too many of the sect disciples been dying lately,” The elder said causing some have ‘oh’ face.
“Since there no more questions let started,” Elder Mo said as he pulls out stone from his spatial ring.
In the crowd a boy with silver hair was standing between two girls and both could be called number one beauty in the future. They were Luna and Sia and the nearby boy was jealous of Lucifer for being lucky.
“Sia, do you want to team up with us in the third test?” Luna asked.
“Sure,” Sia simply said.
While the two of them were chatting, Lucifer was more interested in the stone onstage as it wasn’t part of the deity memories. As he was studying it the first contestant went up on stage and put some of his Qi and the stone light up with light red color.
“Mid Xiantian talent, you pass,” Elder Mo said causing the boy to smile. Based on the boy clothing he comes from a poor background and even stepping into the xiantian realm will allow his family to live comfortably.
“Elder Mo you forgot to mention what the color represented,” a man who looked to be around thirty said.
“Oh, your right thanks, Core Disciple Rune,” Elder Mo said with a small laugh.
“It not that big of a deal, but I came here bringing you a message from your wife,” Rune said and went silent but Elder Mo face changed.
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
“Thanks for delivering the message,” Elder Mo said with a happy face.
“No problem, but it looks like we’re getting some geniuses this year,” Rune said glancing at Lucifer and the other two.
“Yes, so you noticed them, well not like it matters but aren’t you on the verge of breaking through to Origin stage?” Elder Mo said.
“I’m out gathering materials so I won’t disturb you any longer,” Rune said before he left.
“Where was I? Ah the stone measurement,” The elder said.
“The stone gives a rough estimate about your talent in cultivation by the following colors red, orange yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. The red means xiantian realm while the orange means Golden Core realm, Yellow would be origin realm, and green would be the Soul realm. There is also an exception as some lucky out adventuring while others fall short as they distracted after all the martial arts paths are endless.” The elder said.
The boy looked to be around eleven and has late houtian realm cultivation which is impressive since he looks to have barely enough to feed himself. The moment he put his hand on the stone it glowed yellow causing the crowd to become shocked.
The boys looked at him with envy as they know their talent might not be good as his, and the girls took an interest in him for other reasons.
“Is that considered great?” Luna asked Lucifer causing the one to look at her dumbfounded.
“Depend on how high you want to travel on the martial arts road and how much effort you put into it,” Lucifer said causing Sia to look at him.
“I wonder how high I’m willing to travel on the martial arts path,” Sia mumbled softly but no one heard this except Lucifer who just smiled.
“If you stick with us during our travels, you will soar higher than you could ever imagine,” Lucifer thought in his heart but didn’t say a word.
The next thirty contestants went up but they weren’t as impressive as twenty-three were red while the seven barely crossed into orange. It was Luna turn to go up causing her to be nervous but Lucifer just patted her head which calms her down.
When Luna put her hand on the stone it glowed extremely brightly in all colors before thousands of cracks to run through it. The crowd turned silent while Elder Mo had beads of sweat running down his forehead since this never before. He quickly pulled out a talisman and sent it to the sect master who then rushed over.
After looking at the stone he looked at Luna and smiled. “Interesting the stone couldn’t actually measure your talent, anyways you pass,” he said causing Luna to smile.
Elder Mo quickly switches stone as the last one couldn’t be used anymore. When Luna step down it was Sia turn and as she approached the sect master looked at her with great interest but didn’t say anything. The stone had almost the same reaction as Luna causing a wry smile to appear on both the elder and sect master faces.
“Lucifer, your turn,” Luna said.
Lucifer went on stage and approach the stone which has been replacing once again. After looking at the Elder Mo who he simply put his hand on the rock and sent his Qi into the stone. Instead of shining or cracking the stone simply disintegrated.
“This count as passing right?” Lucifer asked but noticed that the Elder Mo fainted.
