Inverse Immortal Sovereign - C397 The first round of Saint House assessment
In the morning, a red sun broke through the shackles of the horizon and gradually rose into the sky.
The streets of Sky Martial City were already bustling with activity, but the difference from the past was that most of the cultivators on the streets were cultivators under the age of thirty, and in addition, there were hundreds of phoenix scale armored riders surrounding Sky Martial City. These guards all had powerful auras, giving off a sense of majesty, and at the front of every squad, there was a captain dressed in horned dragon armor leading them.
Among these guards, the average guard was an early Immortal King Stage expert, while the captain was a Great Circle Immortal King. These guards were naturally the guards raised by the outer courtyard of the Saint House. Other than the guards of the Saint House, there were also some hidden guards at the stalls. The strength of these guards were all at the early stage of the Immortal Emperor Stage and some were even at the intermediate stage of the Immortal Emperor Stage.
This kind of situation would naturally have to do with the Saint House assessment.
Although the examination this time was for the outer sect disciples of the Saint House, there were less than one in ten who could truly become an outer sect disciple of the Saint House. Even the heaven’s pride level experts of the fourth rank sects would not necessarily be able to pass the examination, and in order to prevent any unexpected situations from happening in Saint House, he naturally used a large amount of force to intimidate them.
“Have you heard? This time, Saint House’s outer sect examination will only be the first, there will be Ghost Level Saint Realm Diagram, and there might even be King Level Saint Realm Diagram! ”
“Saint Realm painting? “You mean the Saint Realm painting that can help cultivators comprehend martial skills to the Saint Realm?”
“If even the Saint House is willing to take this out, then it’s no wonder that the surrounding defenses have become much stronger.”
“If only my child could pass the examination! Unfortunately, even though his cultivation has reached the great circle of the Immortal Realm, he’s already past the age of assessment! ”
“These are nothing. I heard that once you become an outer disciple of the Saint House, you can participate in the upcoming Mortal Board competition. Once you enter the top one thousand, you will have the chance to enter the Saber Imperial Palace and obtain great opportunities!”
Da da!
Hundreds of dragon-scaled armors, mounted on horses, rushed over from afar. In front of this group, there was a woman wearing a silver armor, she was extremely beautiful, with purple wavy hair falling down, her skin was snow-white, and her eyes were shining like the stars shining in the sky. A seven foot long blade hung from her waist, making her look more charming and more heroic, the people on both sides of her looked at the woman in the middle of the street, unable to shift their eyes away!
This person’s name was Ouyang Siying, the daughter of the great general, Ouyang Jian. She had come here to participate in the annual outer sect examination of the Saint House, and her strength had already reached the great circle of the Immortal Realm long ago. If she did not know that after the Saint House assessment, the top 1,000 cultivators on the Mortal Board would have the chance to explore the Saber Imperial Palace, he would have already broken through to the Immortal King Stage.
She naturally knew that the Saber Imperial Palace was a palace left behind by the Saber Emperor, who was the first in the path of the saber. As for the Saber Emperor, his strength had already reached the peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm. He was one of the top Saber Dao experts in the entire Eastern Continent a thousand years ago. Whoever could obtain the inheritance of the Saber Emperor would experience tremendous changes to their strength.
“Look, who is that person? “He’s actually riding his saber. It seems like his comprehension of blade intent has reached at least the first stage of Saber Heart!”
“You don’t even know him? He’s the First Prince of the Sky Feather Empire, Di Junlin! It was said that he was the most likely successor to the next generation of a third-grade empire! Furthermore, it is even stronger than those third-grade sects. After all, compared to those sects, the First Prince of Sky Feather Empire, once he becomes the emperor of Sky Feather Empire, can directly use the entire nation’s power to help him increase his strength quickly! ”
“I heard that in order to obtain the inheritance of the Sword Imperial Palace, he gave up the chance to become a disciple of a first rank sect, the Heavenly Cloud Sect, and participated in the Saint House’s examination. This man is definitely one of the strongest competitors!”
A man wearing a python dragon robe came over with a blade in his hand. His face was cold and his nose was hooked, and his eyes were sharp like the edge of a sword. Just a single glance was enough to pierce the heart of anyone who looked at him, and they did not dare to look him in the eye.
“Who are those people flying on the blade behind him? Could it be the guards who came with the prince? ”
Everyone looked at the numerous guards who were floating in the sky with Di Junlin, and sucked in a breath of cold air. They never thought that the Sky Feather Empire would send so many talented people to accompany Di Junlin to participate in the Saint House’s outer sect examination.
However, after thinking for a moment, everyone understood. They had also heard from the Saint House that in order to open the Imperial Saber Palace, only cultivators who were below the Immortal King Stage would be able to enter the Imperial Saber Palace.
After all, most of the cultivators in their group were disciples of a fifth-grade sect. Although they were considered a heaven’s pride level expert among the fifth-grade sects, compared to Di Junlin and Ouyang Siying, their fame was naturally much worse.
Li Shuangyue was the daughter of the Tianyun County’s princess, but she could only be considered a fourth-grade sect. Compared to Di Junlin, she was still far inferior.
After Li Shuangyue arrived at this place, she only glanced at Di Junlin for a moment before retracting her gaze. In her opinion, although Di Junlin was a third grade sect prince, he was still far inferior to Ji Haotian who was by her side.
She knew that the Tier 3 Empire’s guardian beast was a Tier 7 immortal beast, the Black Winged Dragon. Although the strength of this Goblin Beast could rival a late stage Immortal Emperor Stage expert, its own strength was almost the same as that of the Roc Hawk. Furthermore, Ji Haotian was a person who was afraid of a seventh grade Immortal Beast.
One must know that the Profound Winged Dragon’s position in a third grade empire was almost the same as the ancestor of a third grade empire. And Ji Haotian was able to make that kind of ancestral level demon beast afraid, which meant that his experience was far from what an ordinary person could compare with!
Tianwu City was situated in the border between the Tianyu Empire, Tianyun County, and Hanwu Empire. The city was divided into three top forces, namely, the Saint House Branch, the Nine Tripods Commerce, and the Spirit Pill Pavilion. These three factions held a very important position in Tianwu City. It was fortunate that the three factions managed different areas of the city and there were usually no major conflicts between them.
After Ji Haotian and the rest arrived at Sky Martial City, they headed towards the direction of the Saint House Branch Division.
After entering the Saint House branch, everyone went to the Saint House’s martial grounds. The grounds of the Saint House’s martial grounds were extremely large, and the students who came to take the examination were mostly from different sects and empires. The cultivators of the different sects and empires did not gather together, but instead went to their own camps.
Ji Haotian roughly estimated that about 10,000 cultivators were participating in the Saint House’s outer sect examination, and in the end, only 1000 cultivators were able to pass the examination. In other words, only one out of ten cultivators could pass the Saint House’s examination.
It had to be known, that those who could participate in the Saint House’s assessment were mostly the outstanding geniuses of each sect, but the Saint House still had to pick out a thousand of these ten thousand people to become Saint House’s disciples. It had to be said that cultivators who could join the Saint House’s outer sect could not be considered geniuses among geniuses!
“Since all the sects that have come to participate in the Saint House’s examination are present, then we will begin the first round of the Saint House’s examination!” A silver robed middle-aged man appeared in front of everyone as he spoke.
“You guys should have seen the three pictures placed in the center of the dojo. That’s right, these three pictures are the three saint’s intents.” Each Saint Realm painting contained a top-tier martial skill. These martial skills were divided into three levels: Ghost Level, King Level, and Royal Level! “Anyone who can cultivate the martial skills in the Saint Realm painting to the Initial Stage within two hours will be able to pass the test.”
“Saint House will determine the identity of your disciples in the Saint House based on the level of martial skills that you all have comprehended the Saint Realm Map. Cultivators who understood the Ghost Level Saint’s Will could become ordinary outer disciples of the Saint House. Cultivators who could comprehend king level martial skills could become the genius disciples of the outer sect of Saint House. Anyone who could comprehend Royal Level Martial Skills could become a Saint of the Saint House. Anyone who can demonstrate a martial skill to the peak of the three pictures can receive a Vitality Replenishing Pill. ”
The silver robed man looked at everyone indifferently and spoke.
As the old man’s voice faded, the three paintings in the center of the arena slowly landed. These three paintings were not motionless, but instead, they were like images as they practiced their martial techniques.
“I never thought that Saint House would actually take out the Saint Realm Map to choose a disciple. What a great skill!” Li Shuangyue gazed at the three Saint Realm paintings in the distance as a fiery heat flashed across her eyes.
She naturally knew that the cultivation of a cultivator was divided into five realms: Initiation, Initial, Advanced, Perfection, and Sheng Domain. Cultivating a martial skill to the basic level required a month’s time, and one needed a year to reach the small success stage. Cultivating to the large success stage also required dozens of years, as for reaching the Great Perfection Stage and the Saint Realm, that was something only existed in legends.
The Sacred Border Diagram was a technique that the Saint House had cultivated to the Saint Realm. It incorporated one’s understanding of the martial way into the painting to make it easier for cultivators to comprehend martial skills faster. A cultivator would need a month to comprehend a set of martial skills, but with the help of the Sacred Border Diagram, ordinary cultivators would only need a day to comprehend it.
“The examination begins!” The silver-robed man said.
As the three Saint Realm paintings unfurled, everyone couldn’t help but look over.
A young man with a similar appearance appeared in the three Saint realm diagrams. This young man continued to hack at the sabre in his hand with different sabre lights. The power of each sabre light was different, but each of them were extremely profound and difficult to understand.
Most of the cultivators that came here looked towards the ghost level sage realm map at the far left. To them, to be able to cultivate the Phantom Level Martial Skill to the Small Success Realm meant that they could pass the Saint House exam. As for the King Level Martial Skills and Royal Level Martial Skills, it was simply too difficult to comprehend them in a short period of time!
As for king level martial skills, only the geniuses from the fifth-grade and fourth-grade sects would be able to view them.
This was a great opportunity for them to train their Emperor Level martial skills to the Small Success or even Mastery Stages. After all, the higher the grade of the martial skill, the more difficult it would be to cultivate, and only with the help of the Saint Realm Diagram would they be able to quickly comprehend a martial skill.
Ji Haotian’s gaze swept across the three Saint Realm diagrams in the distance. After he finished looking through the martial skills on the three Saint Realm diagrams, he slightly closed his eyes and began to deduce.
Ji Haotian’s divine soul power from his past life in the celestial sovereign was far stronger than ordinary people, so his comprehension of martial skills was naturally much better than those heaven’s pride level experts.
Ji Haotian’s eyes flashed with three sets of blade techniques: < Three Blade of the Moon’s Shadow >, < Two Element Saber Art >, and < Immeasurable Saber Technique >.
Although the Lunar Shadow Saber was a Phantom Tier 3 martial skill, this set of sabers technique was extremely fast, much faster than the Dual Blades and the Infinity Saber Technique. In a battle between cultivators, the most crucial point was to grasp a battleship. If one could use the Lunar Shadow Saber to kill the opponent before the opponent made a move, even if the opponent practiced a high rank martial skill, the opponent would still lose his life.
It was precisely because of this reason that Ji Haotian did not stop at deducing emperor level martial skills. Instead, he started to deduce the sword skills from the three Saint Realm diagrams at the same time, directly focusing on three uses.
One must know that he had arrived in the Saint House a month ago, and with the help of an elder of the Saint House, he had comprehended the Emperor Level Martial Skill “Limitless Saber Technique” a month ahead of time. At that time, he would have cultivated the Infinity Saber Technique to the large success stage. He naturally knew the difficulty of practicing the Infinity Saber Technique.
An outer sect elder from the Saint House looked at the distant Di Junlin, and the corner of her mouth curled up into a faint smile. In his opinion, one of the three Vitality Nurturing Pills must belong to Di Junlin.
Time flew by, and soon, two hours had passed.
“The assessment is over!” Everyone, come here and practice your martial arts. Those who can practice their martial arts to the Initial Stage will be able to pass the examination! “Anyone who can cultivate a Saint realm diagram to the highest level will be able to receive a Vitality Replenishing Pill. The test will now begin.” The silver-robed elder said indifferently.
When everyone heard this, they nodded and came to a circular platform that was half a meter high. They then started to practice their martial skills in an orderly manner.
“Li Changru, Ghost Level Martial Skill has reached Entry Level, examination failed!”
“Next …”
“Sima Tian, you’ve reached the Initial Stage in the Ghost Level Martial Skill and passed the examination.”
“Next …”
“Quickly, look, it’s Ouyang Siying. I wonder to what degree she can train her Royal Grade martial skill.”
Ouyang Siying stepped onto the platform and drew a half meter long arc with the long blade in her hand. A three hundred meter tall mountain shadow gradually formed behind her. With a wave of her blade, ten blade shadows appeared.
“Ouyang Siying, the Royal Grade martial skill” Limitless Saber Technique “has been cultivated to the Initial Stage, passing the examination! Next! ”
“Who is that woman?” “He looks no worse than Ouyang Siying!”
“You don’t even know that she’s the daughter of the king of a fourth-grade prefecture, Li Shuangyue!”
Li Shuangyue walked down the platform after finishing her Emperor grade martial skill practice.
“Li Shuangyue, Royal Grade Martial Skill, Infinity Saber Technique, has reached the Initial Stage, and passed the test! Next! “
