Several powerful auras appeared in the air. In just a few breaths' time, there were more than a hundred of them, causing the Welcoming Lotus Pond within ten thousand li to become restless. Countless ancient beasts trembled in fear and cried out softly.
"This is..."
The crowd was startled. They immediately glanced toward the figures and immediately realized that they were the cultivators of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground, Martial Principle Sect, and Jade-Lake Sacred Ground that had yet to arrive.
"Could that be Zang Xuanyun?"
"Look over there, the man in the golden robe is Zhuang Qianzhui, and the masked woman not far away, she must be Ji Qimei!"
"What? All three of them are here? "
Many rogue cultivators were startled when they saw the three figures with formidable auras among the crowd of over a hundred cultivators and discovered their identities.
Zang Xuanyun, the second-ranked genius of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground, ranked fourth on the Emperor Wu's Genius Ranking. Rumors said that he was only half a step away from surpassing the rules of cultivation.
On top of that, Zhuang Qianzhui and Ji Qimei were the second-ranked geniuses of the Martial Principle Sect and Jade-Lake Sacred Ground, ranked fifth and sixth respectively on the Emperor Wu's Genius Ranking. In particular, Zhuang Qianzhui was the younger brother of one of the top three geniuses, Zhuang Cidao. It was very likely that he would learn the power that Zhuang Cidao had surpassed the rules of cultivation.
Compared to the three, even Xiao Yunjue, Meng Langxie, Wan Fenghun, Zhan Bawang, and the others paled in comparison.
"Are they the ones who came?"
Xiao Yunjue, Meng Langxie, Wan Fenghun, Zhan Bawang, and the rest of the Emperor Wu slightly raised their brows. Instead of showing any sign of fear, they let out relieved sighs in their hearts.
It was fine as long as Sheng Tianjing and the other two monsters were not here.
Even though Zang Xuanyun and his crew were extremely powerful and ranked higher than them, they had yet to surpass the rules of cultivation. It was hard to tell who would emerge victorious in a real battle.
"Four peak Martial Monarchs, eight ninth-layer Martial Monarchs, sixty-three Martial Monarchs, quite a number of experts from the three factions."
In contrast, the leaders of the various factions paid less attention to Zang Xuanyun and the other two. Most of their attention was focused on the experts from the three factions who had come this time.
"Sheng Tianjing, you didn't come this time?"
Qin Nan withdrew his gaze and shook his head. There was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
He initially thought that the appearance of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain would attract the attention of Sheng Tianjing and the others, allowing him to face the three great geniuses when he achieved the Martial Monarch Realm.
"Did the South-Heaven Sacred Ground only send these two old monsters this time?"
However, no one was aware of the presence of two Martial Ancestor Realm cultivators in a corner. Their lips curled upward as they stared at the cultivators of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground.
"Are you from the three great powers? Everything that I just said, I will now transmit to you through my Divine Will. Time is limited. Everyone, please don't reminisce about the past at this time. Let me finish. "
The smile on the Soul-Devouring Martial Monarch's face remained the same as he spoke.
The noisy Welcoming Lotus Pond instantly regained its calm. Everyone's attention was once again gathered on the Soul-Devouring Emperor Emperor.
"We were talking about the selection of the successor."
"Master is only going to choose one successor, thus he has set up a different rule compared to the other factions."
"Master has left the dragon claws of the Sky-Severing Dragon in the various danger zones, treasure grounds, and spaces. If anyone is able to find three hundred and thirty Sky-Severing Dragon Claws and hand them to master, they will be chosen as the successor immediately."
The Soul-Devouring Martial Monarch spoke slowly.
"What? Chosen as the successor? "
The hearts of the rogue cultivators began to race after hearing the words.
With such a rule, even with their cultivation and Martial Spirits, they had a great chance of becoming the successor of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain.
"Besides, once you enter the Skyless Dojo, you will need to pay thirty Sky-Severing Dragon Claws to trigger the formation on it, which will attract the Skyless Force to help you achieve a breakthrough."
The Soul-Devouring Martial Monarch added as a thought crossed his mind.
"Using the Skyless Dojo to cultivate in seclusion also requires thirty Sky-Severing Dragon Claws? If that's the case, every cultivator here will have to collect these Sky-Severing Dragon Claws. "
Many of the leaders of the major forces furrowed their brows.
"Back to the topic, the Grade-Determining Trial will now begin. Who's going first?"
The Soul-Devouring Martial Monarch flipped his hand. An ancient red spear over two hundred and thirty zhang long appeared in front of him. The tip of the spear was embedded with nine transparent rhombus-shaped crystals.
"I'll go first!"
Following a roar, a third-layer Martial Monarch flew up to the spear and flicked his finger, firing a monarch glow with his cultivation will into the handle of the spear.
Buzz.
The ancient spear began to buzz vigorously, emitting a shocking glow. On the tip of the spear were four crystals emitting colorful glows. On the chest of the Martial Monarch were three words written with great force.
Lower four grade!
"Only lower four grade?"
The eyes of the Martial Monarch immediately flickered with disappointment. If he did not manage to reach the top three grades, he would most likely die in here.
"I'll go first!"
Another Martial Monarch flew out from the crowd and began the trial.
"Lower five grade."
"Why is it only lower six grade?"
"HAHA, I've achieved the upper three grade!"
Following this, the cultivators and Martial Monarchs began to take part in the trials. The atmosphere of the Guiding Lotus Pond became lively.
As the trial continued, the crowd discovered that even those with a cultivation of the Martial Ancestor Realm could achieve the upper three grade.
In other words, the Grade-Determining Trial had nothing to do with one's cultivation or talent.
"Upper first grade!"
After an unknown period of time, everyone's gazes focused on the participant of the test, Wan Fenghun.
It was the first time someone had achieved the upper first grade.
"As expected of the genius Emperor Wu, who is ranked ninth, the Young Master of the Dead Spirit Tribe. Even though the trial doesn't focus on one's strength and talent, he still managed to achieve the upper first grade."
Many cultivators came back to their senses and couldn't help but sigh.
Some distances would always exist, and they would never be able to cross them.
"If a mere Wan Fenghun can achieve the upper first grade, I'll surely achieve the upper first grade too."
