Born to Disappear

Chapter 29

Hualing was stunned, he stood behind Cao Ping with the other brothers and sisters. His gaze was fixed on the object in the middle of the hall. It was a stone the size of a fist, brilliant blue in color.

Eternal heart!

Made from the essence of heaven and earth, it absorbed the immortal energy from the jade pond in the palace of the Celestial Emperor. Although it was only a fraction, it could recognize any thin demonic energy!

'How is this thing in the sky sect?' thought Hualing. Not understanding how an object that should exist in the ninth heaven palace could appear in the mortal realm.

If with this thing, Ah Qing's identity would be exposed!

Unknowingly he took a step back, his back hit the chest of Yuan Qing who was standing right behind. Hualing felt a sense of horror in his heart, even though his face only looked slightly paled.

"Ling'er?" calling him in a clueless manner, he held Hualing's shoulder with both hands. Feeling how this girl's body stiffened, then grabbed her hand and grasped it tightly.

"What's wrong? say-"the soft fingers danced over his palm like the sweep of butterfly wings, tickling to his heart. He almost thought that Hualing was teasing him before the sweep formed a word. The light sweep on his palm still continued, the word in the string became a sentence.

Yuan Qing's gaze sharpened, looking at the beautiful stone in the center of the hall.

"That rock can expose your identity!" was the complete sentence Yuan Qing had caught from the sweep of the butterfly wings.

"It's called the eternal heart, it's from the ninth heaven!" Hualing continued the swipe of his index finger, so fixated that he was completely unaware that his small actions had been misinterpreted by the audience.

"Ehem! Little brother, watch your attitude. Don't tease people in the crowd." An elegant young man spoke, his lips smiling until his eyes narrowed. But the dark aura behind his back did not reflect the friendliness in the face at all.

"Senior brother Lan Shi, you still remember having a sect?" Hualing let go of Yuan Qing's hand, then insinuated Cao Ping's fourth disciple who had never been seen from his nose.

"In the sect there is still a little brother, how can this brother of yours forget him? Besides I've only been gone for ten years, and little sister has found a lover!" This Lan Shi that Yuan Qing had never seen said with a smile that was not a smile, looking at Yuan Qing like he was a thief.

"Lan Shi, stop flirting with your sister!" Han Siyu as the eldest disciple reprimanded his junior brother who never came home this. 'If it wasn't the insistence of the teacher, maybe this brat wouldn't have returned!' thought it was on target.

"The senior brother should also be quiet, the sect master will be speaking soon." Jiang Xinxin turned to rebuke Han Siyu, "Sister Lan, it's great that you're back. After this sister will test your abilities after wandering the outside world for ten years!" he continued, making the one who spoke up instantly stiffened.

"What a harmonious relationship of brothers and sisters of the sect," no one knew whether Xie Shaosheng's words were praise or satire.

And Cao Ping as the teacher can only massage his temple. He did not know whether to be happy or upset with the familiarity of these students.

"All the disciples, I know you have heard the prophecy circulating in the outside world. On this occasion, in order to prevent the chaos and disaster brought by the demon lord will be tested on every student and teacher." The peak master said slowly, unhurried with the spiritual energy in his voice. Allows everyone to hear every word he says clearly.

"Thank you that the sect master has allowed. All cultivators please line up, just put your hands on the Heart of this destiny. Absolutely harmless and cause side effects." he explained then put his palm on the blue stone. Even after a while had passed, not a single thing had happened. "Please fellow cultivators test," he continued and moved aside.

"Let me be the first to test!" Sect master Zhang Junqing advanced closer. Putting his palm on the heart of destiny. All looked on with anticipation, but after a while there was still no change happening. Without saying much, Zhang Junqing lowered his palm and walked away toward Liu Xing Sheng. Patting the young man's shoulder twice, "you go and test."

"Good!" Liu Xing Sheng replied respectfully then left, repeating the actions of the sect master and the envoy from the celestial sect.

Everyone looked at it casually, thinking the test results would be no different from the previous two tests. However, not a single breath of Liu Xing Sheng had laid down his palm, a golden light shining brightly from the heart of destiny. It dazzles every eye that sees along with a strong, invisible pressure.

Among all cultivators, only Hualing maintained an uninterested look. While Yuan Qing who was standing behind him was grinding his teeth with a black face.

"I understand," he wrote on Hualing's palm.

"Hey, wasn't this Liu Xing Sheng able to become a sect master disciple because of a word from martial aunt Xue?" A whisper was heard, but to the cultivators the sound was so loud.

"Shut up! Everyone can hear you!" the one who rebuked seemed to be someone who was being talked to. However, everyone's focus was not on the disciple whispering the sentence. Except the parties in that sentence.

Hualing could feel gazes from all directions. It burns with admiration and disbelief. As if burning it in curiosity together. While the gaze of the envoy of the celestial sect was so brilliant when he saw Liu Xing Sheng.

"Next disciple!" the voice of the sect master shocked the disciples who were whispering to each other and looking at Hualing silently as well as blatantly.

"Good!" the oldest inner disciple of the first peak immediately advanced, taking the same step and producing nothing. And so on until the second peak.

After waiting for several hours, Cao Ping as the second peak master took the first step. But, as before, nothing changes. It also happened when Han Siyu's eldest disciple was testing.

However, a small change occurred when Xie Shaosheng tested. The golden light shimmered from the heart of destiny, so thin but still visible. It was the same golden light as the luminescent that appeared when Liu Xing Sheng was testing.

Hualing's forehead wrinkled, "Why does the heart of destiny shine? If that Liu Xing Sheng could be understood because he was an incarnation of a god, but how could this thing shine when it came into contact with big brother Shaosheng? Could it be that big brother Shaosheng was also an incarnation of a certain god?" Hualing really doesn't understand. Even though it is very thin, eternal energy is still eternal energy.

"In addition, why is the eternal energy emitted so familiar, where have I ever felt it?" thought Hualing.

"Little sister, it's time you test." Hualing was so busy thinking that he did not realize Lan Shi had finished testing and arrived the moment of his turn.

"Yes!" the answer then moves forward. Putting his palm over the heart of destiny and the light shimmered. Not as bright as when Liu Xing Sheng was, but it was also not as dim as when Xue Shaosheng tested.

"It was incredible, not expecting to get the three selected cultivators in this great sect." the envoy nodded several times, his face showing satisfaction. If he did not guess wrongly, this disciple named Liu Xing Sheng was the son of fate intended in the prophecy. While the other two should have an unfathomable eternal destiny.

The messenger could not be happier than this. He only hoped that there would be no demon lord drops in his testing task, and all would be perfect!

"Ehem, please be the next student!" the envoy from the sky sect cleared his throat in a good mood.

"Yuan Qing, you test it!" With a corner of Hualing's eyes looked at Cao Ping speaking. The look on his face did not show any change, but both of his hands were tightly clasped.

"Good!"

Hualing knew he could not stop this testing, because doing so would only raise more suspicion. So all he could do now was watch Yuan Qing walk forward, laying down his palm unhurriedly.

The movement was in a tens-fold slowdown in his eyes, while he was thinking of a way out so that Yuan Qing's identity as a demon was not revealed.

Hualing bit his lower lip with his face down, his hands clenched even tighter until his knuckles turned white. "How do I stop this testing without arousing suspicion?"

His body immediately stiffened. Such a powerful demonic energy swept over him, spreading a bone-chilling chill.

"It's over!"
