Five hundred cultivators stood in the square in front of the Red Emperor's palace gate, facing the five-foot-tall flame giant, without a word, standing quietly.
Then, they saw the flame giant waved its hand, releasing a sky full of fire rain, falling on everyone.
The fire rain was scattered very evenly, no more, no less on everyone's body, there was a fist-sized flame, and then with a bang, it spread, enveloping these people's bodies inside.
Qin Di led more than a dozen people, standing outside and watching quietly. He also did not know how powerful the fist-sized flame was, but he saw that in just two or three breaths, many people could not bear it, raised their right hands, or jumped out of the square under their feet. Once these people chose to give up, the flame on their body quickly flew back to the flame giant.
Although it was only a short ten breaths, it felt like half a year to the people standing in the square bathed in the rain of fire. After many people chose to give up, the first thing they did was to open their eyes and look at the square grid they were originally standing on. In front of the grid, there was a simple hourglass that showed how long they had endured the burning of the fire. As a result, many people found that they only endured five or six breaths, so they all shook their heads and sighed.
"Ai! I thought I could have fifteen breaths, who knew it was only five breaths! "
"I'm so angry, last time it was six breaths, this time it only lasted six breaths! Could it be that in the past five hundred years, I actually did not make any progress at all? "
"Haha, I persisted for eight breaths, twice as strong as last time! Although I did not pass this time, next time, I will definitely pass! "
The scene was noisy, most people were not satisfied with their test results, but a few people were very satisfied with their progress.
After waiting for ten breaths, there were only four or five people standing in the square on the square. Among these people, one person persisted the longest, reaching 110 breaths, so he was accepted as an inner sect disciple, the rest were all outer sect disciples.
Whether it was outer sect disciples or inner sect disciples, as long as they passed the test, they all showed an excited expression.
Generally speaking, for a big sect like the Red Emperor's palace, even outer sect disciples also had a way to promote, so these people were very happy.
After that, batch after batch of disciples took the test. On average, there would only be one inner disciple and four or five outer disciples among 500 people. Although this ratio was relatively low, it seemed to be slightly better than that of the Qing Emperor's Palace.
The white-haired Spirit Immortal, who was in charge of the test, stood beside the flaming giant with his eyes half-closed, as if he wasn't very satisfied with the results. After all, they had tested several batches in a row, but not a single direct disciple had appeared.
At this time, a fourth-stage Spirit Immortal standing beside him whispered, "Martial Uncle, I think the level of the people taking the test this year isn't too bad. After all, there are many inner sanctum disciples, don't you think so?"
The white-haired spiritual immortal glanced at him and said, "There's an old saying in the Red Emperor's Palace: If you don't become a true disciple, it'll be difficult for you to become a Heaven Immortal. No matter how many inner disciples there were, very few would eventually become Celestial Immortals. If you don't believe me, why don't you check it out after you go back? How many of our Grand Supreme Elders weren't true disciples? "
"This … Direct disciples are very rare …"
"Yes, if they weren't rare, how could they appear precious? This test happens once every 500 years. There are a total of 64 main cities, and each city is considered a test site. If there are two true disciples in the end, I'll be very satisfied! I believe the Palace Master and the two Grand Supreme Elders will also be very happy. If there isn't even a single true disciple in the end, it'll be too disappointing! "
The test was still going on, but the results were still lukewarm. There wasn't a single true disciple, which made the white-haired spiritual immortal a little dispirited.
Finally, it was the turn of the 20th batch of people taking the test. Qin Di led more than a dozen disciples of the Four Divine Sects onto the stage.
Flames rained down from the sky, sprinkling on everyone's bodies.
Qin Di's body was also enveloped by flames, and his whole body made crackling sounds. However, there was no smoke, only sparks jumping up and down. His clothes were quickly burned to ashes, but his skin was like colored glass, emitting a dazzling white light under the reflection of the flames!
The white light refracted into the eyes of the white-haired spiritual immortal, causing his half-closed eyes to open wide.
"Hey, this kid is not bad! His body is like colored glass, and he seems to have cultivated some kind of body-tempering technique. "
The disciple next to him interrupted, "Martial Uncle, didn't you say that no matter how strong a body-tempering technique is, it can't stop the burning of the Red Emperor Celestial Ancestor's Divine Fire?"
The white-haired spiritual immortal nodded. "You're right. If the Red Emperor Celestial Ancestor's true body was here, his Divine Fire could indeed burn everything. However, this is just one of his clones, and the power of the flames is worlds apart. "
The disciple next to him said, "Even so, I estimate that this young man can at most hold on for 100 breaths, which is the level of an inner court disciple."
The white-haired spiritual immortal didn't say anything. In his heart, he was hoping that the good-looking young man in front of him could hold on for a while longer. If there was a true disciple, that would be too great! In that case, his task could be considered half completed.
Time passed very quickly, and the hourglass kept flowing. In just seven or eight breaths, more than 400 people had been eliminated.
However, no matter what, this batch of people was obviously much stronger than the previous batches. There were no longer just four or five people left. There were as many as 17 or 18 people!
The white-haired spiritual immortal opened his eyes wide and stared at the crowd without blinking, wanting to see if a miracle would happen.
After 10 breaths, there were only 15 people left standing in the square on the square, and they were all at least outer court disciples!
Seeing that so many people had passed the test all at once, the onlookers around started to talk about it.
"Strange, why is this group of people so strong?"
"Strange! Is there something wrong with the Red Emperor's Fire Spirit? "
"Nonsense, the Red Emperor's Fire Spirit is one of the tens of thousands of clones of the Red Emperor. He is the Jin Xian Tao Ancestor who dominates the world. How could there be something wrong?"
"Amazing, amazing! Where did these people come from? They don't look very strong, and the strongest one is only a first-stage Spirit Immortal. The rest are just Dao Integration cultivators, and there are two or three low-level Earth Immortals. They look very insignificant, so how could they pass the test? "
"Oh! I think these people have cultivated for a very short time, and 80% of them have cultivated for less than 10,000 years! Among them, there is a young man who may have cultivated for less than 5,000 years! "
As the crowd discussed, time passed slowly.
