Chapter 995: Greatest Reward (2/2)
”The names of those that failed should disappear. However, his name is still up there, which means that he hadn't passed the sixth test.”
”That might not be the case. Nirvana Learning Academy has changed the rules for this assessment. Perhaps they would only remove the names of those that were eliminated at the end of the entire assessment?”
When High Firmament God Sect's Mountain Lord Lao Yu saw that Mo Wuji's score hadn't increased till now, he sighed and said, ”Chi Kun, that Rogue Cultivator 2705 is unable to pass the Sacred Arts Test. Could it be due to his low cultivation?”
Chi Kun hesitated briefly before saying, ”However, according to witnesses, that Rogue Cultivator 2705 had a powerful sacred art that no one could defend against. If someone was able to defend against his sacred art, then Rogue Cultivator 2705 wouldn't even have obtained his placing. Theoretically, he should be able to get points through that sacred art. Oh right…”
As Chi Kun was speaking, he drew a faint image, ”Elder Ren Fei, did you see this person at Pill Dao Honour Tower?”
The instant Ren Fei saw this image, he sighed and said, ”I saw him. However, not only was his aura different, he even had good spiritual roots. He seemed to have been a fire-type cultivator.”
Chi Kun casually waved away his image. No one had the interest to talk any further. In that short time, Rogue Cultivator 2705's name had already dropped to seventh place.
Within the crowd, Luo Yu snorted coldly. His figure flashed as he left Nirvana Dao City. the way he looked at it, Mo Wuji should have failed in the sixth test. As long as Mo Wuji didn't die, he would be transported out. He, Luo Yu, wanted to let that ant know that a God King was not an existence that could be offended.
…
When Mo Wuji formed one final slow hand seal, his dao revelation channel suddenly exploded with a burst of clarity. Mo Wuji suddenly opened his eyes. He stood up and lightly drew an arc with his hand.
Time seemed to slow down and space seemed to become clearer.
”What a powerful sacred art…” Mo Wuji calmed down. He had finally arrived at the fringe of the Laws of Time. Although he was unable to stop time, nor reverse it, he was able to slow time within his domain.
Mo Wuji took a step forward and formed another hand seal slowly. The time within his domain seemed to turn sluggish. At this moment, Mo Wuji's decaying body seemed to regain some life.
Taking another step forward, Mo Wuji formed another hand seal…
Mo Wuji's white hair turned from white to greyish-white, from grey-white to grey, then to black…
Mo Wuji's decaying body also continuously recovered as Mo Wuji continued to advance forward. He only stopped when he arrived at a whirlpool array door.
Besides understanding his Mortal Dao, Mo Wuji felt that his greatest reward from coming to God Continent wasn't becoming a Tier 5 God Pill King, nor was it learning to grow Green Dew Rice. Instead, it was making contact with the Laws of Time.
He hadn't fully formed his time-law sacred art but Mo Wuji was extremely clear that if he integrated his Laws of Time into his Setting Sun, his Setting Sun will definitely be a sacred art no inferior to the Wheel of Life and Death and the Seven World Finger.
After engraving his name on the stone tablet, Mo Wuji walked into the whirlpool door. He had passed the sixth round. Although he didn't get any points, Mo Wuji believed that the sixth test was the most rewarding one.
…
After walking out of the whirlpool array door, a huge passage appeared in front of Mo Wuji. On top of the passage, it wrote: Battle Passage.
Besides these two words, there was no further introduction.
Mo Wuji was clear that he had spent too much time on understanding the Laws of Time. Thus, the moment he arrived at the Battle Passage, he did not hesitate to walk into it.
In less than ten steps, a human figure pounced towards him. At the same time, a huge radiant blade shot over.
This was a puppet? Moreover, its cultivation was only at Nascent God Level 8. Mo Wuji casually released a punch. His Domain Crushing Fist directly turned this puppet into juice.
Previously, Mo Wuji thought this seventh test would be a battle with other cultivators. He didn't think that he would be fighting puppets. To him, this was much easier. After all, he might incur the wrath of big sects if he accidentally killed their disciples. Among those taking part in this assessment, few were rogue cultivators like him.
Mo Wuji eliminated that Nascent God Level 8 puppet with a single punch. After walking another few meters, another puppet charged out. This puppet actually had a whirlpool domain similar to his, as well as a fist-type sacred art similar to his Domain Crushing Fist.
Mo Wuji still didn't dodge as he released a punch. His fist met with the puppet's. With a 'Kacha!', this puppet turned into dust.
He was even able to make contact with the Laws of Time. At this moment, Mo Wuji felt relaxed and free of hindrances.
Outside, the assessment had already gone into a countdown. Both Chi Kun and Yu Chuo were feeling depressed. Ever since Mo Wuji's name started to fall, it never went back up. At this time, they could only hope that Mo Wuji hadn't been eliminated. As long as Mo Wuji wasn't eliminated, he might not get into the top 10 but he should be able to make it into Nirvana Learning Academy. However, they knew that the chances of this were slim.
