章節 84: The Qualification Test
"Now let's begin." the deep voice of the Old Man resounded in the Sect Grounds.
Sheng Tian closed his eyes in instinct at the blinding radiance. When he finally adjusted to the bright light, he caught a glimpse of the three shiny objects.
They were all about 20 meters tall, 5 meters wide and glowed with light royal gold, Sky blue and Ruby Red Colour respectively.
Now, they didn't emit the glow they did earlier, in fact, only a light glow was visible.
The expressions of the fifteen Senior Elders and the Sect Master became solemn seeing the Mystic Pillars.
The Old Man approached a pillar and slowly caressed it, as it it was his dearest child and said, "These are the three pillars of our Sect—Might, Fate and Will Power. When you reach the threshold, the shade will get dark and darker.
Legend has it that the Ice Empress of Prehistoric times was able to cause the three pillars to go completely dark!
I hope to witness a miracle, even if you are able to turn one pillar closer to dark, you will become a legendary figure in this era.
Come and touch each of the pillars with your palms."
Old Man finished speaking, and sat on grand seats along with others.
Even after a minute passed, there was no sounds of exclamations, no gasps, in fact there was not even the sound of breathing.
The disciples were drawn onto the Mystic Pillars. Their eyes showed awe, reverence and determination. One gaze, however, was of greed.
'A sealing treasure?' Sheng Tian asked Xiao Lian. 'Yes, the three pillars can seal anyone at the realm of the Owner.' she replied.
'Just the same realm?' he was displeased.
'What do you mean 'just the same realm'? Imagine what would happen if you can seal an opponent of your strength. He would be exhausted in the pillars formation. While you can, prepare to end him. You can even seal people stronger than you temporarily.'
'Not bad.' he thought.
He looked at the core disciples, their cold faces flushed with excitement. 'What is there to care so much about this test? Might, Fate and Will Power, everything can be changed.'
At the same time, upon the gesture of the Old Man, the disciples below the age of 25 years came to the stage and touched the pillars.
Sheng Tian shook his head watching the first participant failing to light up any of the pillars. Turning to his side, he was shocked to see that Leng Yue Yan is cultivating.
'You sure work hard, don't you?' he thought to himself.
"Whooah!" a sharp exclamation reached him.
When he looked at the pillars, the pillar of fate was glowing with a visible blue colour.
"You will be noted. If you manage to stay within the Top 500, you can enter the Frozen Hell." the Elder noting down the results said indifferently.
The procedure was fast and soon, over 500 disciples were tested. Only 60 were noted down.
"L...Look at that!"
"It's crazy!"
Sheng Tian woke up from his cultivation only to see a bright red light.
'Extreme will power?' looking at the muscular young man, Sheng Tian asked Xiao Lian and used Semi—Divine Sense to probe the young man.
The reason he didn't use his own Spirit Sense is simple—There are many people who can detect him and it would be rude to sense other person.
However, he did' t bother with it.
When his Semi—Divine Sense actually sensed the Young Man, Sheng Tian's lips twitched 'First level of Earth Realm in Energy Cultivation and the First level of Golden Organs in Body Cultivation? He balanced both the cultivations!'
The moment the youth touched the Might pillar, it shone with a great intensity.
The will power pillar shone with bright intensity as well.
Only the fate pillar didn't glow much.
Sect Master Bing Ying thought 'He is likely to become a great OverLord. However, the Fate pillar didn't react. It is always the hardest to satisfy.'
"What is your name?" she asked.
"Lin Fan." the young man said, his gaze clashing with hers.
'Dude, not an MC again.' Sheng Tian face palmed and lamented in silence.
"Good. I shall take you as a disciple,do you have any objections?" she asked right away, shocking everyone.
"Sorry. I can't agree."his answer shocked everyone present. However, before they could rebuke him, he clasped his fists "Don't misunderstand Sect Master. I think I'm unqualified to be your disciple. I don't dare to take this position."
"Explain yourself." she said coldly, feeling that she lost face.
'Oh my god. Seriously, this is so annoying.' Sheng Tian got up and walked to the stage.
Everyone was shocked as to why he is moving when Sect Master is talking. But he ignored the crowd and reached the stage.
Sect Master Bing Ying turned to him to ask, but before her, the Old Man glared at Sheng Tian "What do you think you are doing? Being disrespectful to Sect Master is a serious offence!"
Looking at the act the Old Man was still putting, Sheng Tian just rolled his eyes and stepped onto the stage.
Looking at the crowd and the Senior Elders, he smirked lightly "This is shitting boring. Why do I have to wait till everyone shows their result? Just because I'm the MC, I need to show my shocking performance at last and shock everyone? Che, Fat chance.
After I get my position, you can do whatever you want." saying so, under the astonishing gazes, he placed his hands on the Pillars of Might and Fate.
Instantly, dark clouds hovered over the Sect Grounds as the Morning became a pitch black night.
And at the moment, incomparable dazzling lights of Royal Gold and Sky blue shot out from the pillars to the sky, blinding everyone by their brilliance.
Sheng Tian only smiled 'As expected of myself.' he thought humbly.
Taking the chance, he placed his hands on the WillPower pillar.
'Whoosh' this time, Sheng Tian was able to sense it clearly.
A phantom rose from the Will power pillar and shot towards the Sky.
"Screech." a cry sounded out, shaking the heavens and earth.
At that moment, the Sky became Ice Blue as everything was frozen except Sheng Tian.
He raised his head and looked at the sky, only to find a pair of icy eyes looking down at him.
