Chapter 461: Three left (2/2)
However, the look in Jiang Chen's eyes only turned hazy for a few moments before a resolute look appeared on his face, as he shook his head without saying a word.
The old voice sighed lightly, before it gradually turned distant and disappeared from the hall.
The entire room immediately fell silent, as the white-robed Elder Zhuan stared deeply at the black-robed Jiang Chen for a few more moments, before he continued with the test.
More than 20 disciples tested themselves after Jiang Chen, including the young lord of the 'Mercenaries' Association', Zhong Fang, but the colorful light didn't appear in the ball of fate's surface.
Even when the turn of the golden-robed prince from the Shengtian dynasty came, the colorful light still didn't appear, no matter how hard he tried to make it appear.
An expression filled with anger and fury appeared on the golden-robed prince's face when he saw this result, but he still suppressed it barely a moment later, as he retracted his hand from the crystal-like ball and walked away, while he stared at Shun Long, Liu Mei and Xie Xingyi from the corner of his eyes.
Of course, although others were surprised that Sheng Huang and some other powerful geniuses didn't trigger the colorful light, the white-robed Elder Zhuan wasn't surprised, and instead, he felt that this was only normal.
Although the disciples here didn't know what the colorful light meant, as an Elder of the Holy sect, he obviously knew that it represented immortal fate. If every single disciple had an immortal fate, even Dao Emperors wouldn't be rare in the Holy sect, let alone peak Dao Kings like him.
As they watched the tests that took place one after the other, Xie Xingyi turned her head to the side and stared at Shun Long with a gentle look in her eyes, before she asked curiously
''Brother Long, do you think that the colorful light means that one will surpass the level of a Dao Emperor in the future?''
It wasn't just Xie Xingyi, but Liu Mei, and even the surrounding disciples that weren't too far away from the 3 of them and overheard this question, that turned their attention towards Shun Long, as they waited for his answer.
Although Shun Long was just a peak rank 1 Nascent Soul stage cultivator, no one underestimated him.
Shaking his head, there was a deep look inside Shun Long's eyes as he stared at Xie Xingyi, before he said seriously
''Even for the Holy sect, it should be impossible to predict someone's fate. Although the colorful light probably means that someone has the chance to surpass a Dao Emperor in the future, in the end, that's only a chance. Willpower, comprehension ability, talent, and luck, are all more important than fate in the end.''
A profound look flashed past Elder Zhuan's eyes, as he nodded his head with a look of admiration inside them.
In the past, Elder Sun Wen had said the same thing.
Although the Holy sect tests the fate of the new disciples, this fate is only a small path that they can follow. Willpower, comprehension ability, luck, and talent, are all equally as important as one's fate, if not even more important. Cultivators fight against the Heavens, so why should they be restricted by their own fate? One born weak should strive to become strong, while one born strong should strive to become even stronger!
Elder Zhuan hid the look of admiration deep in his heart, as he continued with the tests of fate. In the end, no matter what, one's fate was still important.
2 hours passed in the blink of an eye as the tests continued, and finally, only 3 disciples were left that had yet to test their fates.
