1546 Differences in Tao Aura (1/2)

”What? You say you've met the Mighty King?”

The tall, sturdy man heard his words, and his face became instantly alarmed.

”That's right. At the time when I heard him say that he intended to ransack the Heaven Palace Sect's treasure house, I rushed up to him, wanting to stop him immediately. But, unfortunately, I was a step too late. He had teleported and left. If I'm not wrong, he is now already in the treasure house.” Xu Que looked full of regret.

”D*mn, why didn't you say so earlier?” The tall, sturdy man stared at Xu Que, extremely annoyed.

”But you didn't ask.” Xu Que retorted self-righteously.

”You...” The tall, sturdy man suddenly stopped arguing with Xu Que and said, ”Forget about it. It's still not too late. I'll report the matter to the Elders. You'd better hurry to the martial arts training field. If I can catch the Mighty King this time, I'll cite you for meritorious service.”

Having said that, the tall, sturdy man left in a hurry and completely forgot about his job guarding the main gate.

It went without saying that capturing Buttface seemed more important than guarding the main gate.

With the present status of the Heaven Palace Sect, it was irrelevant whether the main gate was guarded or not. In the Heaven Continent of this era, perhaps no one would dare to directly crash the Heaven Palace Sect's main gate. The reason why the tall, sturdy man was here was probably only to receive and greet the cultivators who were attending the recruitment congregation.

However, the corners of Xu Que's mouth curled up into a smirk as he watched the tall, sturdy man go.

The wheels in his mind turned, and he summoned the System interface, from which he retrieved a few small objects.

WHOOSH!

The few small objects he'd retrieved suddenly turned into a flowing light and swept around the main gate to merge into the spell formation on the ground. The Mountain's protective spell at the main gate wobbled a little. The movement was minimal, and absolutely no one noticed.

”Done, I can now have some fun with peace of mind!” Xu Que smiled. He turned around and walked briskly in the direction of the martial arts training field.

He didn't need anyone else to lead the way for him in this place. He'd been here once tens of thousands of years from now. At that time, this place had been holding a Chosen by Heaven Ceremony, and he'd come here and stolen the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi .

But Xu Que was shocked now as he returned to this slightly familiar place.

When he'd first entered this place previously, even though everything was still sparkling and intact, it had appeared empty and desolate with a pervasive sense of lifeless isolation.

The large Heaven Palace Sect had by now only consisted of a dozen old Celestial Kings and Celestial Primes who he'd released by lifting a seal.

When Xu Que had first heard of this, he hadn't believed it. Now that he had personally witnessed it, he was totally stunned.

Just passing through the main gate and stepping in the direction of the martial arts training field, Xu Que had already seen hundreds of Heaven Palace Sect disciples at the Taiyi Genuine Celestial Stage.

”What are those guys doing?

”Come on, it looks like they're sweeping the floors and wiping the building clean.”

Next to him was a man who was a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, who was obviously a supervisor. He would expressionlessly berate them from time to time.

”What's wrong with you. Do you know how to sweep? Do you know how to wipe?

”How can my Heaven Palace Sect produce a group of useless individuals like you? You can't even kill and behead 100 Demonic Beasts of the same cultivation in ten days. The other several hundreds of disciples who were admitted at the same period as you have at least cut off 150 heads. There are also ten outstanding disciples who have subdued and killed more than 800 Demonic Beasts.

”You should ask yourselves honestly: Do you feel ashamed? Are you worthy of the cultivation the Heaven Palace Sect has given you?

”The Elders have sealed your cultivation and punished you for your own good, so that you can cultivate your state of mind and have the opportunity to comprehend a higher Tao Aura...”

…..

Listening to the words of this man at the Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven stage, the 100 Taiyi Genuine Celestial disciples bowed their heads in shame.

When Xu Que passed by them, he also bowed his head and almost cried just listening to it.

”D*mn, was the Heaven Palace Sect so evil tens of thousands of years ago?”

However, as he walked farther, Xu Que saw another 100 disciples at the Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven stage who went from controlling magic weapons to transforming into streams of light to fly across the sky in a great hurry.

Behind the group of disciples at the Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven stage, there was someone at the Celestial King stage, wearing a black-and-green robe who appeared to be an elite disciple cultivator. He was chasing after them.

”Senior Brother, have mercy, we admit defeat for this assessment,” the 100 Golden Celestials of the Great All-Embracing Heaven shouted as they fled.

”Yes, Senior Brother, we are from the third-class compound. How strong can we be? Can't you spare some feeling for us?”

The elite Celestial King snorted, ”The Elders have orders that the criterion for you people from the third-class compound is ten moves. If you can't even withstand ten moves from me, you have to continue with the assessment. Those who are hit hard will be demoted into the fourth-class compound.”

”Come on!”

Xu Que looked at the scene and just wanted to vomit blood.

”The criterion was ten moves from a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven? And that was just the criterion of the third-class compound?
