”That voice!” Yan Zaizen gnashed his teeth in vicious anger. This voice was quite familiar to him; it was the one that presided over Sky Shatter's trial! He felt a distinctive sensation on the left side of his body. It was an uncontrollable, irritating, and squirming itch that seemed the slither from his brain to his big toe.

During the Sky Shatter trial, the entire left side of his body experienced a physical collapse from a sudden strike that he could not prepare for. If it wasn't for his Herculean physique, death would've been his only option. Therefore, he carried quite a grudge over this voice.

”Wait! Does that mean the voice belongs to…” As he pondered over how to get his revenge, he came to the realization that the voice belonged to the trial overseer. It's probable that the trial overseer was the artificial spirit meant to handle certain trials or even all the trials on Grand Sirius. If that was the case, the chance of him obtaining his revenge would be unlikely.

This possibility left him feeling helpless and dispirited.

Ever since Yan Zaizen stepped into this trial grounds, he felt isolated. It was a very distinctive feeling as he looked around. Despite his achievements of dominating Yun Xuli, beating back the myriad of younger generations, or being associated with Zhou Xiuhei or Shi Yan, none of them even looked his way.

In stories, he imagined that he would be gaining enemies or friends during these trials, be subjected to humiliation and overcoming this humiliation by displaying how truly awesome he was. Unfortunately, they didn't seem to care about his past, present, or even future.

He pouted slightly. Shouldn't there be beautiful women trying to gain his hand in marriage?

While he lamented his current unpopular status, a young male walked up to one of the monoliths. Yan Zaizen recalled the information funneled into his mind earlier. The Trial of Source Potential had three monoliths that were determiners of talent. The first monolith was pure white, twenty meters high, about a person's length thick, and shaped like a long rectangular cube. It had smooth edges, sharp ends, and blank surface.

As Yan Zaizen stared at it, it felt like his cells were tumbling about in excitement. ”The Monolith of Physique,” he softly muttered. In the cultivation world, one's physique was undeniably important and incredibly difficult to enhance due to the heavenly laws. Typically, a person's talent can be deduced by their physique and their path.

For the Essence Path, those who could absorb and refine essence into qi with a high efficiency with barely any loss would be classified as having good talent. When Yan Zaizen was young, during his early years, he had the worst bodily talent imaginable. After taking the path of the Herculean, he was sure that the Essence Path, Heavenly Path, and various other paths that use essence or energy was far easier for him with his talent being remarkable.

He turned towards the monolith in the middle. It was golden that shimmered with a faint glowing shroud. As he observed this monolith, he felt his soul resonate slightly and his eighth sense picked up some form of interference. This interference caused his connections with his heavenly law avatars to destabilize slightly.

Taking his eyes away, he muttered, ”The Monolith of the Heavens.” This monolith would test one's eighth sense, the external sense one has towards the heavenly laws. The purer it was, the easier it was to connect and advance in laws. This wasn't always a definitive determiner, as different laws also had different complexities and intricacies that made them hard or easy for individuals.

There were some who could, despite their eighth sense being rather frail, pick up a sword one day and reach the sovereign-level in a thousand years. There was also some who were simply unable to gain a single hint of insight despite having a pure heavenly sense. It was all a matter of compatibility, intelligence, and insight as well as fortuitous occurrences.

A perfect example of this was Yan Zaizen. Despite being a Non-Entity, he didn't comprehend a single law until he met the meteor that fell from the sky. A large reason for this was simple, exposure, knowledge, and pursuit. During his early years, he knew about the idea of laws, but never did he attempt to comprehend them.
