Chapter 14 Test of Spiritual Roo (1/2)

t

The moment the pressure came upon the candidates, Lyu Liang's Divine Sense had immediately put up a defense. The pressure was a specific attack on his Divine Soul, therefore it instantly defeated those with a weaker Divine Sense. However, the stimulation at such a level was not enough to harm Lyu Liang, whose Divine Sense had reached the stage of Gold Core.

At the same time when the authoritative voice finished speaking, a wide path suddenly opened up amidst the protective layer around the Sword Character Immortal Palace. Emerging from within first were eight cultivators who were emitting powerful aurae. Following behind them was an old man with gray eyebrows, cladded in a golden robe and carrying a long, silver sword on his back.

”The Eight Great Immortals and Hunyuan Sword Immortal, the leader of Sword Character Immortal Palace! Good heavens! How were all the big shots of Sword Character Immortal Palace coming out to meet them! It was rumored that only one Fairy Immortal would come forward to participate in the challenge!” Those with some knowledge of its disciple selection process were getting agitated.

So was Lyu Liang shocked at the sight of these many immortals. What was going on? However, before anyone could recover from the shock, another unexpected thing happened. They saw Hunyuan Sword Immortal retreating to the side and bowing towards the middle of the path, and immediately three more people emerged from the path. They were a middle-aged man with bright, fierce eyes who was wearing a white robe, a slit-eyed lady with faint eyebrows, wearing a long red robe, who looked to be around 30 years old, and another lady in red clothes who looked be 28 years old.

”Good heavens! That, that, that's... the founding father of Sword Character! He is none other than the Almighty Immortal of Sword Character Immortal Palace who is listed among the Immortal Allies! Ah.. and the lady next to him is Xuan Nyu Fairy, who is the founder of Xuan Nyu Sect and also one of the Immortal Allies!” The candidates were no doubt overwhelmed by their presence.

As the two Golden Immortal Powerful figures scanned the crowd of cultivators who had come to participate in the recruitment ceremony, Xuan Nyu Fairy broke into a charming smile.

The cultivators went into a daze fixing their their gaze this beautiful fairy that the surround seemed to have faded. Even Lyu Liang's eyes were drawn to her.

”Wake up, lad!” Suddenly, there was little piercing pain to his sea of consciousness and Lyu Liang came to his senses. It was Blackie. His voice started ringing in Lyu Liang's sea of consciousness. ”You have fallen into the trap of their illusions! How could this man who had attained the Almighty Immortal status still be playing these tricks on the younger generations? Quick, look around and you will realize that there were still some who had not been deceived by the illusions. They will be your competitor later on!”

Lyu Liang shuddered and began looking around. In that instant, he saw four others who were not affected by the illusion. One of which was a man wearing black clothes and a straw hat on his head. He had lowered his head and went into deep thought.

There were three others who were standing together who seemed to know each other. The one on the left was a young girl with impeccable complexion and beautiful features and she was drawn to Xuan Nyu Fairy and looking at her curiously. Next to her was a handsome young man in green clothes, who was scanning the crowd. When his eyes met that of Lyu Liang, he nodded as an indication of friendliness. The last of the three was a dark and burly man who was smiling a silly smile at the young man in green.

At this moment, the founding father of Sword Character, who was frowning slightly, shook his head and laughed bitterly, sighing. In that instant, all the cultivators who were taken in by the illusions awoke suddenly and looked as if they were lost.

”Little sister, it's been a long time since we last saw each other. You are still that willful little girl in the past. I can't imagine you are actually the founder of a sect,” the founding father of Sword Character said gleefully while looking at her.

”Elder brother, I am not like you. You are too serious! I am just a little jealous that when you are doing your recruitment, it gets lonely where I am!” Xuan Nyu Fairy pretended to pout and look unhappy.

”Even if there are so many people candidates here today, eventually only a few would be accepted. How could we compare with the collective capability of Xuan Nyu Sect? Actually, if the rules for recruiting your disciples...” The founding father of the Sword Character sighed.

”Stop it, Elder brother! I have made a mental calculation and concluded that only by doing so could I find his whereabouts...” Suddenly, the smile on Xuan Nyu Fairy's face disappeared and her face was washed over with melancholia.

”Sigh... Such a long time had passed, why don't you just let it go... I'm sorry, it's my fault raising this up. Oh yes, what is your intention in bringing your disciple here today?” The founding father of Sword Character quickly tried to change the topic as he started to feel the heavy atmosphere.

Xuan Nyu Fairy eventually came around after losing her concentration for a moment, and she transmitted sound saying, ”You know that Ying'er was just like me in that both of us have the bodies of Tao of Heaven. Half a month ago she suddenly told me that her lucky star had moved! You know what this means, don't you?”

”Erm? That's interesting!” said the founding father of Sword Character using sound transmission, as his eyes sparkled.

”However, Ying'er said the vision was not concrete but rather unclear. However, it appeared that the man he would be marrying is among those who came to this recruitment ceremony. This is why I brought her here. I'm going to take a good look at these Qi Refining young men! Whoever is this young man who is able to win the heart of my disciple with special bodily constitution!” Xuan Nyu Fairy said with angst, and continued, ”If that day comes for my disciple to be wedded, I would be expecting you, my elder brother, to send me a wedding gift! I thought Little Tian would make a good gift! You may give him to me when you have nullified your contract with him!”

”That will be as good as taking my life! Little Tian and I are like blood brothers, how could I do such a thing! Fine, if that day ever comes, you may enter the treasure store of Sword Character Immortal Palace to freely choose a treasure for yourself, and I will give it to you!” The founding father of Sword Character eventually made this promise to her.

”That would be giving you a great discount! My disciple would one day be more successful than me! I wonder who is this man! Let's begin the ceremony quickly!” Xuan Nyu Fairy was excited.

During this entire time, Lyu Liang was also observing the surrounding very carefully. Apart from sensing the immense pressure, he was not able to sense anything else. He thought maybe it was because the level of his capabilities was far from that of the others.
