Rebirth Of The Supreme Celestial Being (201-400)

304- Distinguished Disciple

“Everything is still uncertain.”  Lin Xuanzhi lightly said, “As for the confirmation, Uncle Zhu will naturally be more attentive than us. Since those people have so much power and are so mysterious, they’ll be unwilling to reveal their identities. I’m afraid that we won’t find out why even if we ask other families again, so we can only wait for answers from Cloud Summit.”

Yan Tianhen agreed, “It’s the only way.”

The next day, Yan Tianhen and Lin Xuanzhi returned to Profound City. They stayed in the city for a few days, waiting for the subordinate sent by Qing Zhu to deliver the things on Esteemed Huai Yu’s list that could be bought. The two talents walked towards Profound Sky Sect.

Profound Sky Sect had just finished their first round of examination.

The first round was very simple. It was only a test before the actual examination. The disciples who needed to sign up to enter Profound Sky Sect passed the sensing stone test one by one. They could only be qualified for the examination after reaching the standard.

Profound Sky Sect’s requirements weren’t the highest, but they weren’t the lowest among the five celestial-level sects. Those who passed the examination were required to be under the age of 25, have no more than three spiritual roots, and have already reached the third layer of the Refining Qi stage in order to enter the sect.

As a result, some people were caught.

Meanwhile, the disciples of the Lin family had all successfully entered the official examination.

In the second examination, the disciples entered a training ground at the same time so that a thousand of them could snatch a hundred clearance cards simultaneously. This was a way to see which people became part of the one hundred or less who could make it out alive with the clearance cards.

This kind of examination method was the most commonly used and most effective in the sect. In most cases, the people who managed to capture a clearance card would be the most talented and practical, but there were also quite a number of people, though they lacked talent, were extremely resourceful and well-connected.   

For the rest, they were neither smart nor well-connected, and only got a clearance card through sheer luck.

Although this luck was illusory, for cultivators, it was very important to see this invisible and seemingly mysterious luck. They believed that a person’s luck was related to his good fortune. Everyone wanted to be with a lucky person so that they could rub off of their luck and good fortune as well.

Luck was also a kind of strength.

Examinees engaged in fights, openly and secretly, for a brief period that lasted anywhere from a day or two, or even up to ten days and half month in the training ground with hidden dangers everywhere. The elders and disciples of Profound Sky Sect would watch their experiences from various angles outside, using a huge sky mirror where they could see them.

In this process, the elders or peak masters would select the disciples worthy to enter their doors directly and leave some of them to be delineated first before the next round of examination.

Examination was cruel. Regardless of life or death, at least one-tenth of the examinees would always stay in the training field, while at least half of them were injured.

However, the law in the cultivation world had always been so cruel so they could only accept it and try their best to survive.

After returning to Sinking Sword Peak, Lin Xuanzhi met his master first, then went to Profound Sky Sect’s big square where the sky mirror was hung to look for his senior martial brothers and sister. Today, there was a special kind of buzz in the air. All of the disciples were watching the examination and making various comments. However, apart from the two disciples from a reclusive family, the most noticeable among the people in this examination was actually a child.
