Capítulo 28: Emerging Geniuses
Having reached this step with a mere Tempered Body cultivation level, they could be really considered as the top geniuses of the Endless Forces Continent.
They stood proudly with their heads held high as the masses and the spectators looked at them in awe.
"So these young ones are the representatives of the Endless Forces. Reaching this step would definitely benefit their future cultivation speed and foundation." sighed a top expert.
"Sect-master Tian is such an amazing person to have such a godly artifact that could temper one's will, talent and physique at the same time! He definitely came from a peak powerhouse influence from the Divine Continent." said an Emperor realm cultivator with awe and reverence.
"Indeed, the Eternal Glory Sect is bound to rise eventually." commented a young man respectfully.
...
Tian Long smiled as he looked at the 10 remaining young geniuses. Since he already checked the status page of Chu Feng, Long Wang, and Long Xue, he then checked the status page of the 7 others

Other than these six, a young lad caught Tian Long's eye as he checked his status page.
"This is actually possible?" muttered Tian Long in surprise.

"How amazing is this! He actually has 9 points in Will?! He's still able to reach Tempered Body Level 7 with such low talent, comprehension, and luck?." said Tian Long as he wondered.
"Let's see how far up you can go then." he smiled.
...
290th step...
294th step...
296th step...
299th step...
300th step - 10 participants.
Tian Long smiled.
The crowd held their breath as they watched the 10 young geniuses with tension, shock, and awe.
Since the 290th step, all 10 of the participants refused to go down as they mustered and squeezed out all the strength inside their body to keep climbing up.
Some in the crowd were shocked senseless, some were envious, some were crying with tears of joy. However, one thing is certain was that they all felt pride as they stared at those 10.
They are the proud geniuses of the Endless Forces Continent! They are the elites of the elites of the elites! They are standing at the apex of this generation and had incalculable potential. They aren't inferior to those from the other continents and maybe even better!
They all thought this at the same time.
Tian Long couldn't help but nod his head as he watched those 10 participants that are almost dying as they forced themselves to stand up.
Suddenly.
*Whoosh* *Whoooosh* *POP*
Sounds of breakthroughs started resounding.
Chu Feng, Zhuang Yan and the participants were sent in a daze as they felt a profound and boundless energy fill up every inch of their body.
At first, they were startled and worried that they might explode due to the excess amount of energy but then they found out that the energy wasn't overbearing or tyrannical at all. It wasn't very soft either, it was just about right as they felt their strength increase as their cultivation level was raised.
...
Chu Feng was startled as he felt the purest heavenly energy he's ever felt in both of his lives enter his body, dantian, meridians, and acupoints. He could feel his cultivation level was being raised by the pure heavenly energy.
He muttered. "Such pure heavenly energy! This Glorious Celestial Stairway is such a marvelous creation! I can't believe that such a wondrous godly artifact exists in this world."
He never saw such a treasure in his past life, even at his peak, so the Celestial Stairway was simply a wonder for him.
"For the Eternal Glory Sect to possess such a treasure... This sect is really a variable... I wonder why I haven't heard of it before." Chu Feng wondered.
He should've known or even heard of rumors about such an amazing sect in his past life since the Eternal Glory Sect was just too great.
However, there was simply nothing.
'Still nothing.' thought Chu Feng as he racked his memories as he tried to find even the slightest of a clue about the Eternal Glory Sect.
"I really wonder where this sect came from..."
He clenched his fist as he felt the pure heavenly energy within him tear away the barrier to the Energy Refining Realm as his cultivation advanced towards it.
His heart couldn't help but have an admiration towards the sect master of the Eternal Glory Sect as he finally reached Energy Refining Realm.
The heavenly energy still didn't stop and it kept giving a surge of power within him as his cultivation kept increasing.
Energy Refining Level 1... Energy Refining Level...2... Energy Refining Level 3!
Chu Feng was flabbergasted as he was sent into a daze.
Reaching Energy Refining Realm Level 3 that quickly was simply monstrous! It was the first time he's ever known and experience of such a thing.
As Chu Feng broke through, Long Wang, Long Xue, Zhuang Yan, and the other participants were having the same experience.
They were ecstatic as they felt the impossibly pure heavenly energy enter their body and raise their cultivation level.
And the best thing about it was that it even helped them consolidate their cultivation, improving their foundation. This will help them increase their cultivation faster in the future without having to worry about an unstable foundation since a weak and unstable foundation would simply be a hinder in the future.
Even if you advanced in cultivation, it just wouldn't be worth it unless you plan to spend a longer and harder time to improve your foundation in the future which would simply be incredibly difficult.
...
"Their cultivation increased by a major realm!!!" yelled someone loudly.
"What is going on?! All of them have reached Energy Refining Realm within such a short amount of time! What sorcery is this?!" shouted an old cultivator.
"For such a thing to happen..."
"God, I wish that it happened to me instead."
...
As the crowd was in an uproar, watching the dense amount of heavenly energy gather towards the 10 participants, a clear and calm voice resounded.
"Consider this increase in cultivation as my gift to you all for reaching this far up in the Celestial Stairway. I honestly wasn't expecting for the 10 of you to reach this far up, therefore, you have all impressed me and will get additional rewards for this feat."
Of course, the one that spoke was Tian Long as he appeared in front of the 10 participants.
He was honestly impressed by the achievement of the 10 participants since it was totally unexpected for Tempered Body cultivators, and young ones at that, to reach the 300th step of the Celestial Stairway.
Zhuang Yan, Long Wang, Chu Feng, and the others were very grateful towards this reward from Tian Long as they bowed their heads in thankfulness and respect.
The spectators were sent into a further frenzy when they heard Tian Long's words.
A gift! He gifted them a huge leap in their cultivation just like that! WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS!!!
Tian Long ignored the crowd as he continued.
"You will all get the additional rewards later, now it's time for me to pick the 4 disciples that will enter the Eternal Glory Sect."
When Tian Long finished his words, everything suddenly went silent.
The spectators stopped talking as a tensive atmosphere filled the air.
The families of the 10 participants were watching in both excitement and anxiety as they wondered which ones would get picked.
Everyone held their breath and awaited the following words.
Tian Long smiled and opened his mouth.
"The 4 participants that will be accepted into the Eternal Glory Sect are..."

Capítulo 29: Accepting Disciples
Tian Long's words silenced the crowd as they all held their breath, awaiting the following words.
The families of the 10 participants couldn't help but be filled with both excitement and anticipation, wishing that their respective representatives would be picked and become an official disciple of the Eternal Glory Sect.
Tian Long smiled and continued. "The following 4 disciples that will be accepted are the following: Long Wang, Long Xue, Chu Feng, and Zhuang Yan."
Silence...
The spectators were shocked, the supreme families were stunned, the powerful sects were flabbergasted.
The Lin Family members were shocked as well. Jian Chen and Lin Hui Yin were shocked as well but they recovered pretty soon since they know that their sect master had a different way of thinking.
After a while, a clamor started until it spread everywhere.
"No members from the supreme families were picked? Not even those from the prominent sects?" said someone within the crowd scornfully.
"Is the sect master of Eternal Glory playing with us? I agree that those four might be the apex of the younger generation in the Endless Forces but they have no credible background!" yelled an elder of a supreme family.
"I agree to that! The four of them might be incredibly rare geniuses but their backgrounds are totally ordinary! Why not pick someone like Shi Hong from the Supreme Shi Family? Or Su Xinyue from the Verdant Wood Sect?" shouted an unsatisfied young man.
"Now now, I'm sure that sect master Tian has his own reasons for doing so. We cannot fathom the mind of a monstrous apex genius like him." said a young maiden shyly.
"Indeed, I'm sure that young noble Tian has a good reason for picking the four of them." said a beautiful noble lady passionately.
"Cheh! Good reason? There better be one."
...
While the audiences were in an uproar, the 10 participants remained silent when they heard Tian Long's words.
Even though the ones that weren't picked were a bit indignant about the decision, they didn't dare show any unsatisfaction and disrespect in front of Tian Long.
Meanwhile, The Long twins and Zhuang Yan were surprised and elated that they were picked by Tian Long even though they didn't originate from a great background or influence. They knew that entering the Eternal Glory Sect would change their lives forever, of course, in a great way.
(Note: Long twins = Long Wang and Long Xue.)
Chu Feng was only a little bit surprised that he was picked despite his lowly background even if he had confidence in himself. He knew within his heart that this sect master of Eternal Glory Sect is definitely a transcendent person.
...
As the commotion within the crown started getting out of hand, the same clear and calm voice resounded everywhere.
"Enough!"
Everything suddenly went silent as nobody dared to speak any further. They respected and feared this mysterious and powerful sect master of the Eternal Glory Sect.
Tian Long then looked towards the other 6 participants and smiled.
(Note: Remember their names: Shi Hong, Li Kang, Han Gang, Su Xinyue, Yao Ya and Xiao Ning.)
"Are you all unsatisfied with the decision?" he asked.
Shi Hong, Li Kang, and the others looked at each other for a bit before replying in unison.
"No, we are not!"
Shi Hong then continued. "Simply the experience that we got from climbing the Celestial Stairway was already enough and the increase in our cultivation by a whole realm could be said to be an impossibly wondrous gift already."
The others nodded their heads to express their affirmation.
The increase in their cultivation by a whole realm was already an awe-inspiring gift that they couldn't really ask more.
Tian Long laughed and nodded his head. "Good, this answer doesn't disappoint me."
The other party all sighed in relief when they heard his words.
He continued. "However, your achievements definitely gave me a good surprise. You all didn't give up and continued climbing despite your low cultivation levels which could be said to be unbelievably hard. This is also why I will give you six a gift, which is a chance, a chance to enter and become official disciples of the Eternal Glory Sect.
As Shi Hong and the others heard Tian Long's words, they couldn't help but be proud of their achievements which were indeed incredible.
However, what truly shocked them was that they would also have a chance to enter the sect. This could be considered to be the greatest gift that they could receive since they knew that their future would simply be limitless once they enter the Eternal Glory Sect.
Their faces reddened as they held their breath, waiting for Tian Long's following words.
Tian Long smiled at their reaction and continued. "You could consider this chance as a challenge and another trial. To get the chance to enter the Eternal Glory Sect you all must complete the two following conditions. Firstly, you must enter the peak of Energy Refining Realm and second you must personally defeat 5,000 cultivators at the peak of Energy Refining Realm, try not to kill them if possible. You six will have a total of 3 years time to finish these two tasks."
Shi Hong, Su Xinyue and the others were shocked speechless when they heard the heaven-defying tasks that Tian Long proposed to them.
Achieve the cultivation of the peak of Energy Refining Realm within 3 years?! Hard, simply heaven-defyingly hard. And we even have to defeat 5,000 peak Energy Refining cultivators?! All in 3 years time?!
Before they could even voice their complaints, Tian Long cut them off.
"It's not just hard, its impossible hard! But that's exactly what I need of you six, I need you all to do the impossible and complete this two tasks. What I need in the Eternal Glory Sect are not just monstrously talented genius, I want those that are prepared to do the impossible and conquer them! The Eternal Glory Sect will eventually have the spotlight in this world and become an unrivaled force! Only those with the will and heart to defy the heavens can become a part of the sect!"
The 6 geniuses were stunned as their hearts were stirred and their blood left boiling with heroism as they continued listening.
They could feel Tian Long's indomitable and fearless heart as he spoke his words that were as if he was challenging not just the entire world but even the heavens itself.
He continued with a calm yet valiant, and fearless voice. "And with your talent and increased cultivation level, finishing this trial is definitely doable. It all just leads to one simple question. Do you have the will and heart to complete this challenge? Can you do the impossible and prove to the entire world that you all can be hailed as one of the peaks and apex geniuses of this generation, not just of the Endless Forces Continent, but instead, of the entire Boundless Heaven World."
