A Will Eternal – Chapter 594

Chapter 594: Assessment During the Ceremony

It was the same as the first and second levels of the Eternal Forever Live Technique. Not long after making initial contact with the shackles, it was possible to use the power of the cultivation base to break it.

As Bai Xiaochun sat there motionlessly, eyes glittering, a second shadowy figure appeared in the room. The figure was not an imitation, but rather a shadow created by the manifestation of his incredible speed.

In fact, the figure remained in place for a long time before disappearing.

No need to do any more tests. He can tell that his speed has broken through to another level, and though he cannot determine exactly how fast he can move, he can, he knew that it would be difficult for even a deva to catch him.

“Eternal skin focus on defense!

“Eternal Heavenly King focuses on strength!

“Eternal Tendon focus on blast speed….

"In that case, what was the focus of the fourth level, Bone Death?" Such thoughts filled Bai Xiaochun with deep anticipation.

“It is too difficult to cultivate once before reaching the Nascent Soul stage…. Plus, the resources in the Wildlands were severely lacking. The Undead Bone would require more resources than the Eternal Tendon …. " After thinking a little more, he suppressed his disappointment. Completing his qi and clearing his mind, he began to strengthen his progress with his immortal Tendon.

Meanwhile, the day set to open the ancestral ground was getting closer and closer. At the same time, the clan was preparing to hold a grand ceremony to offer sacrifices to their ancestors.

This was the Bai Clan's custom; such a ceremony was always held when the ancestral ground was about to be opened. During the ceremony, all clan members, no matter which lineage they came from, would be present. Furthermore, the high-level members of the clan would make judgments towards the clan members, and give rewards to outstanding individuals.

Often, other clan members would be invited to attend, and usually, the Giant Ghost King would send representatives to join the celebration.

After all, it was not a simple matter to open up the ancestral ground, and it only happened once so often.

The ceremony was held the day before the opening of the ancestral ground, in the central district of Bai Clan, in the hall of the ancestral temple.

The other two great necromancer clans sent representatives, as did the Giant Ghost King. The entire Bai Clan was busy with activities as the final preparations were made.

The temple hall in the central district displays a large square, inside which has been erected a large stone gate. The gate was engraved with an image of a middle-aged man, whose stern gaze seemed to demean all creation. That man was none other than the founder of the patriarch of the Bai Clan!

The temple hall was surrounded by many people from the Bai Clan, more than 10,000 people. There was not even enough room for them on the ground, so many were sitting at tables that floated in the air. That's a nice view to take.

The older clan members sat closest to the temple hall, smiling on their faces as they chatted with representatives from other clans.

Everyone was just waiting for the ceremony to start.

Madam Cai and the other women sat in their own area, where they were busy discussing and making themselves the center of attention.

Bai Qi stood in the middle of the crowd like a star in the night sky. He sat close to the temple hall itself, and was surrounded by important people, including several necromancers chosen from other clans, with whom he engaged in lively banter.

Of course, there were others from additional lineages nearby, none as prominent as Bai Qi, but one that was obviously special. One of them was the fifth young lady Bai Xiaochun met on his first day in the clan. She was beautiful, and despite her cold personality, was surrounded by many fans.

There was another young man who was roughly the same age as Bai Qi. He was tall and muscular, and laughed loudly which caused everyone to like him, clan members or not.

As soon as he arrived, he noticed the fifth young lady and the burly young man. During his time in the clan, he had learned quite a bit about them. The fifth young lady was named Bai Yan’er, and was known even in Giant Ghost City for her good looks. Some young elites from other clans noticed them.

As for that burly young man, his name was Bai Lei, and he was chosen from one of the additional lineages. Although his cultivation base was not at the same level as Bai Qi, he was still in the Core Formation. In fact, he and Bai Qi were considered to be two star clans!

However, the two of them did not get along well, a well-known fact in the clan.

Together, the three become the focus of much attention in the ceremony.

Were it not for the fact that it was demanded of him, Bai Xiaochun would not have come. As he looked around the crowd, he pondered his plans for the ancestral ground tomorrow.

"I should plant murdersoul nails later today," he thought. Suddenly, he felt as if someone was staring at him. Glancing around casually, she realized that it was Madam Cai, who was sitting with the other women, looking at her sharply.

"He managed to find me even though I was sitting very far away .." he thought, surprised. He sat in a very inconspicuous position, a place that should have made it difficult to see him. However, Madam Cai managed to find her even in the crowd.

Without thinking about it, Bai Xiaochun stared back at Madam Cai with such ferocity that his eyes widened. A moment later, the poison returned. However, before he could do anything else, the sound of the bell rang out.

The crowd quickly fell silent. At the same time, three rays of light appeared in the distance. In the leading position was the clan head, and he was flanked by two elders with a cultivation base in the Nascent Soul stage grand circle. They were none other than the great elders who ran the Correction Hall and the Hall of Justice.

After arriving outside the temple hall, the clan head began to speak in a loud voice, "For all the members of the Bai Clan who have gathered here today …."

All the clan members listened excitedly, but to Bai Xiaochun, he had no interest at all, and simply closed his eyes.

All sorts of complicated details about the ancestral ground were explained, things that did not really affect most of the clan members. Only outstanding figures who plan to participate in the event need to listen.

Occasionally, the bell would ring, causing ripples to spread through the cloud-filled sky, and make a lucky mark.

Bai Xiaochun would open his eyes once in a while. Feeling like he was hiding immortals in the ordinary world, he would think, "I have witnessed glasses that are much larger than this before."

A few hours passed, and night came. The sacrifice for the ancestors was over, and the bells started ringing again. Bai Xiaochun yawned and opened his eyes. After coming to the assumption that everything was over, he prepared to leave. However, it was at that moment that the grand elder in charge of the Hall of Justice, who was sitting in front of the huge stone gate, chuckled.

"All right, all right," he said. "Since the clan head insists, and no one else will back down, I guess I'll do the appraisal this time." The old geezer's laughter was loud, and supported by the depth of his cultivation base, causing illusory ripples to spread out in all directions. There were even soul clouds swirling around him as he spoke.

A look of reverence could be seen in the eyes of the clan members as they stared at him. Even the representatives from other clans and the envoys from Giant Ghost City had very serious expressions on their faces.

When Bai Xiaochun sensed the old man's cultivation base fluctuation, he looked at him with a serious expression. He was clearly half a step into the Deva Realm, similar to Bai Lin. Furthermore, from the fluctuations of soul power that came out from him, he was clearly a necromancer.

“He is likely to be in the terrestrial rankings, with deep skills in necromancy. That would explain why so many souls appeared in the echoes of his voice …. ”

Even as Bai Xiaochun pondered over the matter, the old man continued to speak. ” Young heroes of the Bai Clan, all of you are aware that the highest peak of spirit enhancement is a legendary threefold increase, something that no one has ever achieved. Even twenty spirit improvements almost never happened. Therefore, I would like to ask you all these questions: what do you think would happen to this simple feather if it received a thirtyfold increase? " Smiling, he lifted a feather.

It seemed completely ordinary, lacking in anything that could be considered unusual. It was really just a simple feather.

“There is no correct answer to that question. Based on your skills in spirit improvement, consider that question for a moment. After all, there are some things in life that will never come true unless you reflect on them more deeply!
