Towards the Path of Heaven

Chapter 51

As everyone expected, Hu Kun, Hu Xing'er, and Hua Yanluo were not the only miracles to appear. There were also excited youths and even youths who came out from the crowd. Their performance made the audience exclaim in shock.

"That's the miracle of the Blood Hand Sect!"

"That's the miracle of the Ten Thousand Flower Sect. They only recruited women, and they were all very beautiful!"

"There was also the genius of the Mirage Faction. They were also nominal powers, but they were also extremely outstanding. At the very least, every one of their disciples possessed powerful illusion techniques that were hard to break!"

Looking at the figures that appeared one after another to prove themselves in front of the dragon pillar, the number of people who passed the examination quickly approached one hundred. Yan Chutian could only laugh inwardly. It seems that the initial idea was not wrong. It is definitely not an easy thing to get a security quota.

But of course, despite the fierce competition, Yan Chutian still had full confidence in himself. Even if his cultivation appeared to be inferior to others, if he were to actually fight or undergo a test, he would make others understand that true strength was not determined by cultivation alone.

Yan Chutian looked around, and a miracle naturally also looked around. Their eyes swept past the middle-aged and even the old. Although they were cautious, there was a hint of pride on their faces.

Only that miracle could make them hold back their expressions, and their eyes surged with fighting spirit.

As for Yan Chutian, an early stage Spirit Transformation cultivator, he was instantly ignored by them.

They didn't even know the situation, so they thought he was just a lucky person who passed the exam.

Yan Chutian remained expressionless towards the disdainful and dismissive gaze. Instead, he noticed Yan Ningzhu's reaction. It seemed that when this miracle appeared, he was afraid. Fear... getting caught?

In an instant, a divine light flashed across Yan Chutian's mind. He faintly felt something. This woman definitely did not enter the Central Plains to gain experience but to hide. And the person he was hiding must have known this so-called pride of heaven!

But even if he vaguely sensed the other party's secret, Yan Chutian would not say anything. His expression was the same as usual as he quietly waited in the crowd to open the three tests.

After successfully obtaining a place to enter the Central Plains, they would split up. Why would he care who the other party was hiding from?

After more than an hour, the number of participants who passed the examination had exceeded a hundred. But after that, the number of people jumping out of the crowd grew fewer and fewer. More people only intended to watch the battle. Even if they were unable to obtain the qualifications, it would be nice to see this incredible event.

At the same time, there were people who took advantage of the opportunity to set up a stall on the spot. They set up gambling houses to see if those geniuses or cultivators could obtain any of the last thirty-three spots.

"Quick, fast, fast. Time for the next round. You can place your bets before the competition starts. Place your bet ... Place your bet!"

"I bet 50 Spiritual Crystals that Hu Kun will definitely get a place!"

"I bet 100 on that late stage Spirit Transformation Realm old man!"

"I'll pay ..."

Finally, there were no more advanced cultivators to prove themselves, so the two cultivators guarding in front of the dragon pillar retreated backwards and respectfully handed the record list to the old lady who had previously led the scene.

To be able to be sent to represent the eight great factions to lead the allocation of places, even if his cultivation was not considered to be very strong in that faction, he must have reached the Elixir Realm, he must have reached the Elixir Realm, enough to press a fraction.

The old woman took the list and casually looked at it. His old face immediately turned to the surrounding crowd and slowly said, "The evidence is done. There were a total of 158 people on the list who had the qualifications to participate in three tests and compete for places."

Then, the old woman symbolically looked at the remaining overseer behind her. When they did not mind, he waved his hand and let his subordinates take the dragon pillar, leaving the middle of the square empty.

Then, under the old woman's gesture, the other subordinates slowly brought the bronze cauldron into the square.

The bronze cauldron landed on the square and let out a thud. Everyone's gaze naturally locked onto him. Most people's eyes are filled with doubt. Few people, especially the geniuses who had just arrived, had calm expressions. It is clear that they were expecting this.

The bronze cauldron landed on the ground and the subordinates who carried it retreated respectfully. The old woman took a few steps forward and walked to the side of the bronze cauldron before continuing to speak. "This is the Star Cauldron. There were star stones scattered around the cauldron. If spirit power was injected into it, the star stone would ignite like a blaze of fire and shine brightly.

"However, lighting a star stone is not only related to the quality of spirit power, but also the physique, talent, and cultivation of a cultivator. Even late stage Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators were unable to ignite star stones. There were also those who had just entered the Spirit Transformation Realm that could ignite star stones.

"And now, the first test requires you to light at least three star stones!"

In just a few words, he clearly explained the rules of the first test. Yan Chutian heard this. He had already heard this from Yan Ningzhu. At this moment, it seemed like what the old woman said was true!

The flaming star stones were related to the spirit power, physique, talent, and cultivation of a cultivator. Thus, Yan Chutian's situation was extremely unfavorable. After all, his cultivation was not strong, and his body did not possess any talent or physique. The only thing that could be considered worthy was his spirit power.

Yan Chutian had always taken it step by step and continued to advance on the path of cultivation. Thus, even though his cultivation was not strong, his spirit power was extremely condensed and of very high quality. At the very least, very few people in the same world could match him.

However, to be honest, Yan Chutian was not sure if he could light three star stones. If he really can't, then he has to do something.

"First, Bai Xiaochun."

At the same time, the cultivator guarding the bronze cauldron solemnly executed that command again.

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man dressed in white with a strange appearance came out from among the hundreds of people. The expression of this young man was solemn, and he had a calmness that was different from his appearance. Of course, it was also possible that he was not confident in lighting a star stone. After all, the old woman had already explained her predicament.

Sure enough, when Bai Xiaochun continuously poured spirit power into the bronze cauldron, he could only light one star stone in the end. It also means he has to stop.

"Failure, next."

…

Some people fail, and some people succeed. Soon, it was Yan Ningzhu's turn. With his cultivation and talent, lighting three star stones was naturally not a problem. However, it was worth mentioning that he immediately stopped after lighting three star stones. It was clear that he was deliberately hiding it and did not want to expose himself.
