The Death Ghost Sword

Towards the Half-God?

Inside the residence of the Patriarch of the Edelweiss Sect, the Great Monk informed him that Han Zhie was different from ordinary Cultivators. According to the Great Monk, Han Zhie seemed to be instantly halfway between the highest level Cultivator and the God Cultivator.

After being at the very top cultivation level, one could head towards a half-God. But, not everyone can become half a God, even They can end tragically. To head towards the half-God, a test and forging were required.

For ordinary Cultivators, They might take hundreds or even thousands of years to become half Gods, and it was extremely rare for a person to be able to get to the half God stage, one in ten million people.

According to the Great Monk, in order to open the path of the half-God, Han Zhie needed to perform several stages according to the instructions Han Zhie would receive in the Sacred Lantern Cooler.

The path of the half-God is guarded by several Sects of the Peace Alliance.

The Temple of the Sacred Lantern was the first path towards the half-God. If one is lucky, one will get a clue about the next stage that must be done in the Temple.

There are at least several stages that must be passed to go to half God after going to the Temple of the Sacred Lantern, such as bathing in the Lake of the Seven Angel Sect, the test of heaven temptation in the Thousand Nirvana Sect, obtaining the power of the Heavenly Dragon in the Sky Dragon Sect, sensing the lightning in the Lightning Mountain Sect, obtaining the star power in the Star Wolf Sect, feeling the heat in the Hell Fire Sect, soaking in the Lava Crater Sect, and soaking in the Lava Crater Sect, feeling the cold in the Ice Poenik Sect, the valley of death in the Death Valley Sect.

Some people do not have to do all the exams, only a few according to the instructions that will be obtained from the Spirit Monk God that can be encountered in the Temple of the Sacred Lantern. It usually depends from within a person who is going to the demi-god.

"Is the Great Monk sure of that?" Ask Han Zhie.

"Actually, I'm not so sure about that, but it might be possible to try it first. Young Master Zhie might be able to meet the spirit of the God Monk" Great Monk Li Yao replied.

"Alright I'll try it" Han Zhie replied.

"Maybe Young Master Zhie can go along with the Disciple from Wan Ming later on to the Peace Alliance Sects if your stages are not much different from him" the Great Monk said.

"Murid of Patriarch Wan Ming?.. " The Murmur Han Zhie.

"She's a Girl from the Mo Empire, has the body of a Dragon" Reply Great Monk Li Yao.

"Empire Mo?... " Murm Han Zhie again.

"He came here with Yun Yintai from the Yellow Bamboo Sect, have you heard of that Sect?" Ask the Great Monk Li Yao.

"Yun Yintai?... Cihhhhh, is He the Charming One?" Han Zhie muttered and realized something.

"Amitabhas... Why would Young Master Zhie curse like that?" Ask the Great Monk Li Yao.

"It's okay, sorry monk, just a little surprised, it looks like He's the One I recognize, I'm also from the Mo Empire" Han Zhie replied.

After the Great Monk explained what He knew, They then went to the banquet Hall.

After a few hours passed, the participants of the Competition were already in the stadium as well as the spectators.

In addition to getting a prize for the competition winner from the Edelweiss Sect, the participants were able to become disciples of the Peace Alliance Sect if their talent made the Patriarch or Elder interested.

Out of a thousand young Swordsmen, made ten groups of one hundred each. The Hundred Swordsman would gradually fight against a Spirit Beast.

Patriarch, the Sect Elders of the Peace Alliance will only follow the first stage of the competition, for the next stage (seeking champions) to be handed over to the Edelweiss Sect. They could not linger amid the crazed Beasts that came out from the forest of black fog.

Actually, fighting the Beast was not a competition itself, but because it took a lot of time for the competition in the middle of the Beast coming out of the black fog forest, Patriarch, it was, The Sect Elders of the Peace Alliance would only see a few talented disciples when fighting Beast Spirits and would choose a few of them to become Sect disciples. At least a hundred to two hundred People would the Peace Alliance recruit due to the large number of disciples killed as a result of the rampaging Beast Spirits.

"Old Feng, where is Old Man Lin? Wasn't He in charge of overseeing the participants facing the Beast spirit?" Mu Weili asked the Eternal Poenik Sect Elder Qin Feng. Patriarch Jin Lin of the Poenik Abadilah Sect who will watch the participants face the Beast that will be released.

"Cihhh. That fellow, Young Master Zhie, how about you watch over them? It is very urgent to start soon" Wan Ming said.

"Aren't there a lot of people here? Why not just them?" Reply Han Zhie pointed to the Patriarch, the other Elder.

"Amitabhas... Young Master Zhie I hope You will help Us" said Great Monk Li Yao.

"Hmmm, alright" Han Zhie replied.

The first hundred groups were already in the arena. Some Elders were preparing to release the Spirit Beasts they were about to face. The Beast was not an ordinary Beast and was extremely powerful, thus requiring a Person capable of guarding in the arena just in case the Participant experienced things that were not desired.

Han Zhie then entered the arena where the Participants gathered.

"Who is He?" Ask one of the participants.

"I heard that the Beast that we are about to face is not an ordinary Beast, is our life handed over to the Youth of our age?" The other law.

"Wouldn't Patriarch Jin Lin of the Eternal Poenik Sect be watching us?" The other law.

"It should be, I'm not sure about it" murmured another.

In the upper seats of the Patriarch Stadium and the Elders spoke up.

"Patriark Ming, why did you send that boy?" Ask Elder Qiaoyi of the Seven Angel Sect.

"Is Elder Qiaoyi willing to replace Jin Lin?" Wan Ming asked in a nod by Elder Qiaoyi. He knew the character of Jin Lin who held his pride and temperament a little as much as Patriarch Wan Ming.

"How is Elder Qin Feng? Matriarch Mu Weili? Elder Wu Zetian? Do you want to replace the invisible Jin Lin from his nose?" The Great Monk Yao asked and was shook off by Matriarch Mu Weili, Elder Wu Zetian.

"Of course I don't want to, but, actually, I don't want to say it, Patriarch Jin Lin isn't late, but the Patriarch has already planned it and will come down with his Poenikas to look great, as usual be proud of her" replied Qin Feng.

"Why didn't you say that earlier? Finish the face of Old Jin Lin" Reply Wan Ming, The Great Monk only shook his head "I hope Jin Lin doesn't act rashly" said the Great Monk.

"What do Great Patriarchs and Monks mean? Asked Patriarch Mu Weili.

"We'll see what Jin Lin will do if his position is taken by Young Master Zhie" Wan Ming said.
