Martial Sovereign of Myriad Realms

A second-grade sect had their own circle of sects, so a second-grade sect usually did not have too much contact with a first-grade sect, let alone a layer of Third Grade Sect.

His Inner Sect's elite disciples, not to mention his Heavenly Essence Country, could even go as far as he wanted with the Strong Country West Tang of a county. He didn't think that he would actually come to watch a first-rate sect's examination.

This was probably the first time in hundreds of years.

No wonder Elder Hu Daotong would rather be late than to personally greet him.

Chen Tianjiao was both surprised and happy, leading his group of Patriarchs and higher-ups, and the look on his face was even more respectful.

As the golden eagle landed on the ground, two figures slowly appeared above the golden eagle. They were two women. The woman from before had a tall and graceful figure while her face was covered by a veil.

"This is the Bali City City Lord Chen Tian Lie, the other few people are all Patriarchs of the families in the city, welcoming Fairy Zhen Wen." Hu Daotong, who was standing right in front, cupped his fists with a respectful expression.

It really was Zhen Wen from the Cyan Feather Mountain.

Chen Tianjiao and the rest hurried to pay their respects.

"City Lord Chen, everyone, I've heard a lot about you."

Zhen Wen, who was wearing a veil, spoke. Her cultivation was at the peak of Xiantian, and behind her was a purple-clothed young lady who looked like a maid. She carried a Longsword in her hands, and her cultivation had reached the peak of Clear Heart Stage.

Hu Daotong called for Zhen Wen, the master and servant to walk up to the stage and take a seat at the center.

Honestly speaking, even he did not understand why this Third Grade Sect elite had come to watch the entrance examination of a mere county before.

But with his status, Hu Daotong did not dare to ask.

Based on his innate strength, he simply didn't have the qualifications to join the Cyan Feather Mountain. Even if he could enter with difficulty, he would at most be an outer disciple.

The group of people sat down in proper order. Zhen Wen looked down at the square and glanced at the cultivation levels of the young elites. He then whispered, "Elder Hu, I just happened to pass by this time. You can do as you please."

"Since that's the case, then I'll have to trouble you, Fairy."

Hu Daotong nodded.

After all, he had been entrusted by the sect to complete the entrance exam.

"Now, I announce the start of the examination!"

After wasting a lot of time, Hu Daotong did not say anything unnecessary. He did not even introduce himself, and went straight to the point, "The first round of the trial, is to test your Will of Martial Dao!"

"However, I advise all of you to not try to be brave. If you feel that your Will of Martial Dao is not strong enough and is unable to reach a certain level, you will automatically give up, in case you get injured."

Hu Daotong looked at the people below the stage, his gaze slowly sweeping across them, and took out a jade case from the Storage Ring in his arms.

The jade box wasn't big, and it was about two inches in diameter. It was pure in color and its surface was covered with decorative patterns, making it look extremely mysterious.

He opened the box and inside was a black bead, the bead had spiral patterns on it and was glowing. When the box was opened, Hu Daotong pointed his finger and the black bead actually floated up slowly, as if it viewed gravity as nothingness.

Then, under Hu Daotong's guidance, the black bead floated to the top of the stage.

~ Is this the thing to measure Martial Cultivator's Will of Martial Dao?

The young talents below were at a loss for a moment, not knowing how to proceed. Strangely, however, as they looked at the shining Black Light's bead from afar, their hearts began to beat wildly, their hearts beating even faster, creating a faint sense of unease.

This feeling of unease came out of nowhere. Anyone who saw this bead would have the feeling that this bead was alive and was together with their heartbeat …

Bang

Bang Bang...

A strange sound rang in his ears. If he listened carefully, it was as if the sound came from within his own body.

"The assessment this time is very simple. This high platform has a total of 108 steps. This old man will divide it into three levels, and every 36 steps there will be one. As long as you can reach the third step, you will have passed the 72nd step and above." Of course, if you are extremely confident, you can come up the stage and feel the pressure of the Sea Serpent Dragon Pearl at a close distance or even touch it.

While speaking, he tapped his finger gently, and with every tap, the black bead would release a Black Light, and as the light grew brighter, many of the participants started to become restless.

Some people were even more terrified. Their faces had already become much paler, and their eyes revealed a strong sense of fear, as if they had seen something terrifying.

Suddenly, Hu Daotong who was on the stage stopped in his movements, he looked at the people below and shouted: "Begin, the first stage of the trial, examine your Will of Martial Dao!"

While speaking, Hu Daotong waved his hand and released the last seal on the Sea Serpent Dragon Pearl.

When this seal was undone, a dazzling pillar of light shot into the sky from within everyone's line of sight. On the platform, a figure suddenly floated above the Black Sea Serpent Dragon Pearl.

This phantom had a huge body and two horns. Its entire body was burning with pitch black flames, and it looked like a huge python that was dozens of feet long. However, it was several times more terrifying than the python.

The appearance of this giant shadow caused everyone to hold their breath. It stared at everyone with eyes filled with killing intent, as if it was about to pounce onto them and start a slaughter.

A few people with weak wills instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and their knees went weak as they directly knelt down.

Everyone found it difficult to breathe. Their teeth were chattering, and there was an invisible pressure pushing down on them, causing their souls to scatter.

Some of the most miserable ones were already staggering back. There were even some who were scared out of their wits and fell into the illusion of terror. Their entire bodies trembled as they laid on the ground, trembling nonstop.

This was the Will of Martial Dao that Hu Daotong spoke of.

For a Martial Cultivator, if they didn't have a powerful Will of Martial Dao and found it hard to walk on the road of martial cultivation, it would be difficult to achieve anything in the future.

It was impossible for these people who had been scared off to walk too far on the path of martial arts. No matter how high their talent was or how many Martial Vein there were, they were not materials for martial cultivation.

Of course, not everyone was in such dire straits!

A girl dressed in white, looking like a fairy, was not affected by the pressure emitted by the illusory image of the dragon mirage. Stepping on the cool breeze, she leisurely walked towards the stairs, step by step, her clothes fluttering in the wind.

"It's Chen Bixiao from the City Lord's Mansion."

Someone recognized the young lady in white.

"The difference is too great!"

Some people could not help but feel this way. Originally, they were all considered excellent in their own homes or villas, and some of them were even young men who had grown up with halos of genius. However, compared to Chen Bixiao, they fell short.

However, Chen Bixiao's Seven Meridians Inherent Skill was already a hot topic for her. Furthermore, she had an extremely powerful mental strength and her cultivation was extremely profound, so being able to climb the stairs so easily was indeed within expectations.

At this moment, another two figures rushed forward …
