Chapter 77 Chapter: 010 Immortals and the Celestial Realm (1/2)

The entire structure was shaking like it was moving in high speed.

”What are those statues?” Elijah looked around and felt odd to see that each of the statues there seemed very realistically very real, especially their eyes, they looked as if they were alive.

”They aren't statues, they were mortals... you can also say they were the first cultivators. People used to call them the Immortals. Your master may have said this before, but after the ninth Mortal Realm, there is the Celestial Realm. Where the Gods could be considered part of. And the Immortals were the first mortals to reach that level. The palace is going to reach our destiny in five days, more than enough to start your test.” The female's cold voice echoed in the room.

”What is my test?” Elijah asked feeling a little afraid with all the possible tests that he would have to go through.

”Just close your eyes and you will see.”

”What?” Even without understanding he still did what the voice said and when he closed his eyes, he found himself inside the great hall. Maybe because he was stronger than the last time he came there. he could see on the ninety-eight runes engraved on the giant gate, ninety-nine relying on what he had absorbed. Elijah tried to focus on the tunes to figure out what they were, but it was giving him a headache. His eyes were dragged into the runes and he could not move his eyes away.

”Just like I thought.” The voice continued spoking calmly. ”You are looking at the test! I want you to focus on on the giant gate in front of you and try to gain insights on it and figure out its source of power.”

Elijahi heard the voice and stayed quiet as he needed time to digest all the information he had just been given. Elijah had heard about a few legends talking about Immortals, but he was not a believer. Then he thought about the great hall and giant gate presence in his soul and he started to realize that the stories he heard might actually be true. The Immortals, The Eight Kings, at this point he felt like it was too much to judge anything correctly.

”I know what you are thinking, that the test was to be related to the Prime King's legacy, but if I am right then it would not be helpful to you. Besides, I'll tell you a secret, before the first king attained enlightenment and became a king, he was only a mortal. At first he only learned a simple technique of mortal cultivation, but after years of effort, he was able to perfect this cultivation technique to one of the best.”

”Of course, I do not expect you to show me something on the same level as insight takes time to gain and merge with your techniques. If you can show me that you have at least discovered part of the true meaning behind these runes, I will consider that you have passed this test.” The female voice added as the sound she was giving had a bit more of emotion.

Elijah tried to focus on the runes to find out what they were, but this was giving him a headache. His eyes were drawn to the runes and he could not look away.

Elijah's soul sensitivity and spiritual force let him decipher the runes at high speed, but even then it was something extremely hard to do.
