Chapter 67 - As Expected of the Formations Guild! (1/2)
Bary heard that and was ecstatic, as long as Krune himself is willing to try, then the rest can be taken care of.
”As you probably can guess, only the best ranked cultivators of the Martial Gathering will be sent to the Divine Path Sect entrance exam, which in this case is the first ten places, don't think this is too much, there is a lot of big powers in our world, each one of them have between three and five slots for the Martial Gathering, in the end, the martial gathering will have at least a few hundred competing for those ten slots, it is very hard to get there.”
Krune nodded, that's to be expected, if it was that easy to enter the Divine Path Sect, there would be no need for sending the best ten, just send everyone and get over with it.
”The Martial Gathering happens every ten years and the Divine Path Sect entrance exam is the same, so not only we, but in general, all planets have their competitions around three to six months before the entrance exam, that is because only those below the age of forty can participate, so to prevent having people becoming above the age necessary after joining the trip, we all make the gatherings around the same time.”
Krune then thought about one thing.
”What about Shinja, then? She is already at the Core Formation Realm, does it mean that she can't participate in the Divine Path Sect entrance anymore?”
Shinja was happy that Krune asked that, she also wished to know the answer for that question, but Bary simply smiled.
”You saw with your own eyes how hard it is for a cultivators to enter the Core Formation Realm here in our Makui Planet, simply put, a lot of people die during the process, but the real reason is that they simply wait until they are close to the end of their life span as Foundation Establishment cultivators to try the breakthrough, because of that, cultivators like Shinja, who are below the age of forty and are already in the Core Formation Realm are extremely rare, so there is no need for her to participate in a martial gathering, if she wants, she can try the Divine Path Sect entrance exam when the time comes.”
Krune understood the situation, indeed, Core Formation is really dangerous, it's no wonder that the majority are over forty, with over a hundred years of life ahead of then, why should they try something this dangerous? Krune, of course, didn't have this option.
”Our planet indeed has quite a lot Core Formation Stage cultivators, but believe it or not, not even a hundred are below the age of forty, but we have thousands above it, and between those below forty years old, not a lot wish to try the Divine Path Sect test due to its difficult, I will be impressed if we get even twenty of those below forty to come try the entrance exam.”
Krune couldn't help but ask.
”Then why there is so much people who wish to try it in the Foundation Establishment?”
As soon as Krune made this question, he understood the reason, in fact, it could be said that it was a very idiotic question, so he immediately corrected himself.
”Forget it, no need to answer, if I'm not wrong, those who join the Divine Path Sect will have a much easier time to enter the Core Formation Realm, simply put, it will be much safer.”
Bary smiled and nodded, that was right, with the techniques and skills available for the Divine Path Sect, breaking through the Core Formation Stage can be considered very safe, totally different from the situation in Makui Planet.
Bary then explained a few more things and was just about to leave when Ao soddenly asked.
”Would there be a problem if I took part in the selection as well?”
Krune looked at him surprised, but he didn't say anything, Bary heard the question and answered straight away.
”Any Three Stars Mercenary can try their luck in the selection, so yes, you can.”
After Bary left, Krune talked a little with everyone and went back to his house to finish practicing the Eye Seal Technique while Shinja went back to her own to finish stabilizing her cultivation and get used to the Core Formation Realm power.
Yusa and Ao were walking together when she decided to ask.
”Are you sure you want to go? It's not like we have Krune's Rainbow Core or Shinja's Pure Yin Body, you know?”
Ao nodded.
”We don't, but we do have the Spiritual Energy Meridians.”
Ao looked up to the sky and then said.
”Have you noticed? So far we have basically relied on Krune when things go south, I don't want to keep it like that, I want to forge my own path as well, and the Divine Path Sect entrance exam is a good opportunity to prove that everything I got from Krune was not in vain, I refuse to keep being a burden.”
Yusa was taken aback with that statement, she has always been very easy going, so she had never thought about it, only now that Ao brought this issue up that she noticed that he was right.
”Besides, I believe that Krune will definitely pass the Divine Path Sect Exam, so he will eventually leave, what are you planning to do after that? Watch him and Shinja flying far away while you stay behind to be a big tycoon in a small planet?”
Ao took a deep breath and continued.
