Chapter 54 - Hasik Was Right, the Heavens Have Eyes! (1/2)
After 'painfully' thinking that he still has a lot to understand about human's habits, Krune and the other were preparing to start the testing, Krune, of course, didn't have much to get ready, so he was the first to come back to the Order Hall.
”I will start the sect entrance test now, can you tell me where I should go?”
The illusory man, Hase Hasik, appeared again and gave a satisfied nod.
”Just stay where you are, I will teleport you over there.”
Before being teleported, Krune asked if his companions could watch the test, Hasik didn't have anything against it so he simply showed the testing room for them through the illusionary formation in the Order Hall.
After appearing inside, Krune looked around and sure enough, it was indeed the place that was showed to everyone before, this dimensional room extended so far away that Krune couldn't see the end of it.
'It should be this big because the ones who did the test in the past weren't just Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment cultivators, Core Formation and probably even Divine Soul cultivators also participated in this test before.'
Krune then saw those paint moving closer to him, that was understandable, the test was always adjusted according to the level of the cultivator, after the painting stopped at certain places, the a somewhat robotic voice appeared in the room.
”The test will start now, please stand on the area marked by the turtle symbol.”
After krune moved over, the robotic voice continued.
”Each painting have a certain number of marks hidden behind the image painted, those paintings have their back turned to you and each one of them has a formation on their backs preventing you from being able to see what is in the painting through the back.”
”You can just tell which kind of painting it is without telling how many hidden marks is there, in this case you can move to the next painting obtaining a low accomplishment level. If you can tell how many hidden marks is hidden inside the painting, you can move to the next painting with a high level accomplishment.”
”Once you have surpassed three paintings, regardless if you got only low accomplishment or high accomplishment, it will be considered as successful and you can try the next test.”
”For those who pass three paintings with high accomplishment levels, it will also be considered successful and the participant will get one thousand Rank Four low quality spirit stones as reward.”
Krune was a little puzzled, that is because there is a total of five paintings in the test, not three.
”What about those two furthest ones.”
The voice answered
”Those are for the participants who have a high level of soul power and Divine Sense, you can give it a try if you guess the first three correctly, the last two have only one level of accomplishment, you must see which kind of painting it is and the hidden marks hidden inside.”
”If you guess the forth one correctly, you will gain five thousand Rank For middle quality spirit stones, and ten thousand Rank Four high quality spirit stones if you guess the fifth one.”
Krune took a deep breath.
'Ten thousand Rank Four high quality spirit stones! I might be able to create my eighth Spiritual Energy Meridians with those.'
”Lastly, the marks that you are searching inside are the same as the turtle symbol you are stepping at moment, your test starts now!”
Krune didn't waste time, he spread his Divine Sense to cover the first painting, just as robotic voice said, the back of the painting that was turned to him had a formation impeding his Divine Sense to see through it, he could only see what was hidden inside through the front which was turned away from him, Krune gave a quick check and he soon saw the number of marks hidden inside the image.
”First paint, mountains with a river passing in between, seven hidden marks.”
”Correct”
Hase Hasik gave a satisfied nod back in the room where Krune's companions were watching the test.
'That was very fast, maybe he can at least see what the image on the forth painting is, that will be already very good.'
But then he heard a comment from Yusa who was watching the test.
”Don't you think that all five paintings are way too close? I might not be able to see what is inside of the fifth one, but I would definitely be able to see the forth without a problem.”
Ao nodded.
”Maybe it is because Krune's test was adjusted to the 4th stage of the Foundation Establishment, when it comes our time, it should be a little further since our cultivation is higher, but this is a good thing for Krune, after all only Shinja who is at the peak of the 9th stage have a Divine Sense a little better than his.”
Hasik was alarmed!
'Divine Sense almost comparable to a peak 9th stage Foundation Establishment cultivator? Is that even possible?'
But he decided to keep paying attention to the test, if it was true, then he will be able to see that through this test.
Back at the testing room, Krune was checking the second image, 30 seconds later…
”Second Image, A house, 12 marks.”
”Correct.”
Another thirty seconds
”Third image, a sea of fishes, 5 marks.”
”Correct.”
Thirty seconds again
”Forth image, clouded sky, 9 marks.
”Correct.”
And then
”Fifth image, a black tortoise, 10 marks.”
”Correct, test is over.”
The teleportation formation from where Krune appeared started to shine, Krune also noticed that his spirit stones reward was beside the teleportation formation, Krune put the spirit stones inside his spatial ring and stepped on the formation, he soon appeared back in the room where Hasik and his companions were watching the test.
Yusa went forward and said.
”That seemed quite simple, the furthest painting was around 5500 meters away, and your Divine Sense can already touch the Eight Kilometers range, no?”
Krune nodded.
Hasik appeared, his face showing incredulity, eight kilometres, 4th stage Foundation Establishment, that's a heaven defying Divine Sense for someone at that level.
”How did you even train your soul? This level of Divine Sense is out of the charts, I have never seen such a powerful Divine Sense at your level before!”
