Hearing this, all the cultivators present were dumbfounded.
Lin Buzheng's expression looked like he was convinced, but Chu Fantian's mouth was quivering as if he was trying his best to speak. No matter how they looked at it, the word 'convinced' did not fit the description.
However, no matter how indignant Chu Fantian was, he could only endure it.
Elder Lei's cultivation was profound and unfathomable. He was at least two realms higher than Chu Fantian. If he was determined to seal Chu Fantian's mouth, even if Chu Fantian had an Ancient Tao Body and possessed the divine might of the Seven Symbols, he could do nothing about it.
The Mighty God Sect's outer disciple assessment finally ended after half a day.
There were hundreds of thousands of cultivators who participated in this assessment, but only thirty-two managed to reach the peak. The success rate was shockingly low.
Not to mention, reaching the peak was only the first step in the Mighty God Sect's outer disciple assessment. Next, one had to seek the Dao Heart and verify one's identity. One had to pass all these tests to become an outer disciple of the Mighty God Sect.
"All of you, follow me!"
Elder Lei turned around confidently and walked towards the mountain gate. Lin Buzheng and the rest of the disciples did not know what was going on and hurried to follow. Chu Fantian's heart was burning with anger as he walked at the back.
In front of the Mighty God Sect's mountain gate, flowers bloomed like brocade, and white jade covered the ground. The scenery was mesmerizing, but it was shrouded in a thick fog, making it difficult to see clearly, as if there was a hidden world within.
Elder Lei stood at the edge of the fog and explained, "This is our Mighty God Sect's Mist Dispelling Pool. It can listen to a cultivator's heart and determine their origins. This is to prevent evil cultivators from other sects or foreign tribes from sneaking into the Sect. Other than that, it can also test if your martial heart is firm.
"Next, you will enter one by one. Maintain a calm Dao Heart and do not let your thoughts run wild. If you fail the assessment, you will return to where you came from. If you pass, you will pass through this fog and appear at the side of the mountain gate."
"Chu Fantian, you go first!"
As Elder Lei spoke, he beckoned to Chu Fantian, who was standing at the back of the crowd. The latter unwillingly walked forward and was the first to enter the dense mist.
Weng!
Although the mist in the Mist Pool was extremely thick, it could not completely conceal Chu Fantian's figure.
In less than ten breaths of time, he had passed through the Mist Dispersing Pond and arrived at the Mighty God Sect.
"So simple?"
When the martial artists saw this, they muttered to themselves, and all of them relaxed.
Lin Buzheng stared at Chu Fantian without blinking. The latter's movements into the mist pool were as smooth as flowing water. There was no hesitation at all, and it was extremely smooth.
However, Lin Buzheng instinctively felt that the entire process wasn't as simple as it seemed.
Immediately, the second martial artist entered the Mist Pool.
This person's figure was tall and large. Divine light flickered behind him, seven stars suspended in the sky, and holy incense covered the ground.
Although the phenomenon triggered was not as vast as Chu Fantian's, it was still incomparably shocking. It was obvious that he possessed the bloodline of an ancient god.
Rumble!
After entering the Mist Dispersing Pond, this person did not move forward smoothly like Chu Fantian.
Instead, he stood on the spot, motionless. Then, as if he had seen something terrifying, he staggered backwards until he was out of the mist's range.
"I'm not joining the Mighty God Sect anymore!"
This martial artist's face was filled with nervousness, and his forehead was covered with sweat. His face was filled with shame, and he did not even dare to look at Elder Lei as he flew away from the mountain peak.
"What's going on?"
"What exactly did this person experience in the Mist Dispersing Pond?"
Seeing this, the martial artists were curious. However, this person had already left the mountain peak. No matter how curious they were, they had no way of knowing what he had experienced in the Mist Dispersing Pond.
"Next!"
Elder Lei's expression was calm, as if he had already expected this. He did not say anything else, and only urged the trial to continue.
The next person to enter the Mist Dispersing Pond was a man with the Ancient Ming Body.
Legend had it that this body was born from the Nine Netherworld Soil. Although the Divine Abilities it nurtured were extremely powerful, comparable to a Martial Emperor's Body, it was evil, strange, and accompanied by all sorts of ominous things. Thus, it had always been rejected by the martial world.
When this person entered the Mist Dispersing Pond, his fists were tightly clenched, and his body was trembling. It was obvious that he was not confident of passing this trial.
Plop, plop!
In the next moment, a series of footsteps sounded, and the man finally entered the Mist Dispersing Pond. His tall figure was shrouded in dense mist, but he did not encounter any resistance. He passed through the mist and arrived at the Mighty God Sect's entrance.
"I did it!"
The man's face was filled with joy and excitement, but he looked exhausted. His clothes were soaked in sweat, as if he had just gone through an extremely difficult trial.
"What kind of trial is there in the Mist Dispersing Pond?"
Lin Buzheng raised his eyebrows, and his curiosity was piqued.
Following that, one martial artist after another entered the Mist Dispersing Pond.
Everyone stayed in the Mist Dispersing Pond for about ten breaths of time. However, some people successfully passed, while others returned dejectedly, having failed the trial.
There was no difference between the two types of people, so even if Lin Buzheng wanted to gain experience and try his best to succeed, it was impossible for him to avoid failure.
In the end, out of the thirty-one martial artists who participated in the trial, twenty-five people successfully passed, while six failed. The probability of passing was still acceptable.
At this point, only Lin Buzheng was left on the mountain peak, and he had yet to take the trial.
"Lin Buzheng, it's your turn!"
Elder Lei glared at Lin Buzheng. Because of the conflict between him and Chu Fantian, he had already memorized the latter's name.
This was not a good thing. Elder Lei would never think of him if he needed any favors, but when it came to handing out small shoes, Lin Buzheng would definitely not be able to escape.
"Yes!"
The next moment, under Elder Lei's signal, Lin Buzheng placed Xiao Hui on the ground, straightened his clothes, and carefully walked into the Mist Dispersing Pond.
Whoosh!
Dense mist surrounded Lin Buzheng, enveloping everything. It gave him a feeling that he could not distinguish between heaven and earth, and that it was difficult to distinguish between Yin and Yang. In the unseen world, there seemed to be a voice calling his name.
"Lin Buzheng, Lin Buzheng …"
Lin Buzheng could not help but reply, "I'm here!"
The voice was ethereal, and it continued to ask, "Where are you from?"
The voice contained an incomparably terrifying pressure, causing Lin Buzheng to involuntarily reveal the truth, "I'm from Xuan Country, Evergreen County, Eternal Peace City!"
If Lin Buzheng was an unconventional life form, or an enemy of the Divine Might Sect, he would definitely have nowhere to hide at this stage!
The voice continued to ask persistently, "What do you want?"
Hearing this, Lin Buzheng was momentarily stunned, but he immediately replied, "I want to live forever, and not die!"
