To Chen Zong, becoming a disciple of the school was a piece of cake.
Then, Chen Zong was led by an elder into the depths of the school until they reached a temple.
The temple was majestic and had an invisible influence. Chen Zong's face was cold and solemn.
The bronze temple did not look big, but it was thick and heavy. It was as if it was connected to the ground. Outside the temple stood six people. Each of them was wearing light armor and carrying a long sword. Their expressions were indifferent and their eyes were cold. Their auras were hidden but powerful. Chen Zong knew that these six people were all warriors in the late stage of the Qi Refining Realm.
There was no plaque or name in the temple. Chen Zong did not know where this place was, but there were six warriors in the late stage of the Qi Refining Realm guarding it. It was definitely not a simple place. Moreover, Chen Zong could feel that when he walked in, there was a hidden gaze. He was sure that there were other people in the dark. Maybe they were warriors in the Real Force Realm.
"Chen Zong, this is an important place in the Real Sword School. Only the most important people in the school are qualified to come here." Elder Li, who brought Chen Zong to the temple, said in a serious tone, "After observing you for a while, we found that you are talented and have a good character. You are worthy of being trained by the school. However, before that, we need to confirm one thing."
"What is it, Elder?" Chen Zong's expression did not change. His tone was neither fast nor slow.
"According to the plan, there should not be any accidents in the Western Wilderness hunting mission. However, there was a major accident. Therefore, we all suspect that people from the Black Demon Sect have infiltrated the other forces. They learned the news and were able to make arrangements in advance, causing us to suffer heavy losses." Elder Li explained, "Therefore, before we decide to train you, we must first test your blood to see if you are human."
"You can choose to be tested or not." Elder Li's eyes were sharp. He stared at Chen Zong like an unsheathed sword. "However, if you don't test, the following opportunities will have nothing to do with you."
Chen Zong could not help but be speechless.
He had already brought him to the ancestral hall and even said that he could choose whether he wanted to be tested or not.
Chen Zong knew that if he chose not to be tested, nothing would happen. But as Elder Li had said, the following opportunity had nothing to do with him.
Moreover, if he refused to be tested now, wouldn't it mean that he had a guilty conscience and would definitely be monitored in the future?
This time, because of the Black Demon Sect, all the other forces had suffered heavy losses. The same was true for the True Sword Academy. Once they were suspected of colluding with the Black Demon Sect, it would be very disadvantageous for them.
"Chen Zong, don't feel conflicted." Elder Li spoke again. His wise eyes seemed to be able to see through Chen Zong's thoughts. "You should know the dangers of the Black Demon Sect. You have to be careful, especially for a genius like you. Once you become a member of the Black Demon Sect, the consequences will be even more terrifying."
"In fact, it's not just you. The Seven Sword Sons of the academy will also undergo a bloodline test to eliminate their identities as members of the Black Demon Sect."
"I understand." Chen Zong said. After all, there was no such thing as love and hatred for no reason. In the end, he was just a disciple of the True Sword Academy. He had no relationship with the elders of the True Sword Academy. Why should he be given special treatment?
Putting himself in their shoes, it was the same.
But understanding was one thing. Chen Zong still felt helpless in his heart. However, he would not hate the people of the True Sword Academy because of this. He was just helpless because his cultivation was too low and his strength was too weak. Everything was so passive.
The rules were always in the hands of the strong.
"So, do you accept the bloodline test, or …" Elder Li asked with a smile.
"Wouldn't it be a waste if I don't take advantage of the opportunity presented to me?" Chen Zong also smiled.
There were seven statues in the ancestral hall. Each of them had a different expression, but they were lifelike and showed amazing carving skills.
"These seven statues are the founders of the True Sword Academy." Elder Li's tone was serious with some reverence.
Chen Zong looked carefully and his vision blurred.
The statue sitting in the third seat on the left was dressed in a black robe. It opened its eyes and looked at Chen Zong. Suddenly, it stood up. In an instant, an aura as thick as a mountain filled the air. It was like an invisible mountain pressing down on Chen Zong's spiritual will. It made his spiritual will sink as if it was about to be pressed into the ground.
It happened so suddenly that Chen Zong was completely unprepared. He felt like he was about to fall down. He quickly gathered all his spiritual will to resist and hold on.
After a while, Chen Zong "stood up" again under the heavy pressure from the statue of Zhenren Chongshan.
His gaze swept across again and fell on the statue of Zhenren Jinfeng in the second seat on the left. This time, Chen Zong was prepared.
Zhenren Jinfeng's eyes emitted a sharp golden light. It was like an unsheathed sword that could pierce through everything. The omnipresent sharpness immediately surrounded Chen Zong and cut his spiritual will.
Chen Zong's spiritual will, which had been condensed by Zhenren Chongshan's heavy pressure, and he was prepared. He resisted the sharp cutting of Zhenren Jinfeng and fought against it. In the fight, his spiritual will seemed to become stronger.
The statue in the first seat on the left was Zhenren Xuanbing.
As his figure moved, an icy aura spread out. The extreme cold carried the sharpness of a sword, causing the chill to become even more intense. It seeped into his body and penetrated into the depths of his bones, causing Chen Zong to feel as though his entire body was frozen. Even his Spiritual Will was frozen, and his thoughts were stiff.
On the third seat on the right was the statue of Zhenren Lie Huo. With a wave of his hand, flames burned the ground, covering a radius of dozens of miles. It directly burned Chen Zong's spiritual will madly, as if it was going to burn into ashes.
On the second seat on the right was the statue of Zhenren Shuiyue. Under the misty moonlight, ripples appeared on the calm lake and slowly spread out in an elegant manner. The beautiful scenery made Chen Zong want to immerse himself in it. Fortunately, he woke up in time. This was also thanks to the experience and preparation he had gained from comprehending the Sword Diagram of Mind Refinement.
On the first seat on the right was the statue of Zhenren Hurricane.
Chen Zong saw Zhenren Hurricane draw his sword. The green sword was surrounded by a gray storm. It swept wildly and made an earth-shattering roar. When the sword was drawn, countless sword lights shot out and formed a sword light hurricane that wreaked havoc.
Chen Zong felt like he was being torn into countless pieces by this sword. He was mixed in the hurricane and kept going away.
The last statue, which was also in the middle of the three statues on the left and right, seemed to be surrounded and protected. It was the statue of Master Zhenyang.
The face of Master Zhenyang's statue was smiling like a spring breeze.
Immediately, Chen Zong seemed to see Master Zhenyang open his eyes. It was just the movement of opening his eyes, but Chen Zong felt like he had traveled through time and space. He came to a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. The scenery was magnificent.
A few white clouds floated in the azure sky. Above the white clouds, a red sun hung, emitting light and heat. It was warm and genial, making people feel lazy. They really wanted to build a thatched cottage here and live a leisurely and secluded life, enjoying the morning dew in the morning and sleeping in the wind and moon at night.
"Unfortunately, no matter how beautiful it is, it is still an illusion." Chen Zong said to himself. The beautiful world in front of him suddenly collapsed.
After experiencing the spiritual will of the seven statues, it felt like a long time had passed. In fact, it was just a blink of an eye. When Chen Zong looked at the seven statues again, that feeling did not appear again.
Elder Li's expression did not change at all, which made Chen Zong a little confused.
Could it be that not everyone who saw the seven statues would have that feeling?
Or could it be that it was just an illusion?
But, what was going on with the more condensed spiritual will?
For a moment, Chen Zong was full of doubts. In the end, he could only attribute it to the mysterious sword tip.
Maybe, it was just like that.
"Chen Zong, that is the Bloodline True Disk that detects the bloodline." Elder Li pointed to the front. Below the seven patriarch statues, there was a dark golden round plate. It was about the same size as the plate used to hold food, but it seemed very heavy. It was covered with very strange veined patterns that looked like ancient characters.
Chen Zong looked at it carefully, but could not see anything mysterious.
Elder Li walked over and clapped his hands. His True Power also flowed into the Bloodline True Disk. Gradually, the Bloodline True Disk emitted traces of light. It was deep and ancient, filled with a unique charm.
After a moment, Elder Li stopped. He was sweating profusely and his face was pale. It was obvious that he had used too much True Power.
"Chen Zong, quickly drip a drop of blood into the center of the Bloodline True Disk." Elder Li quickly said.
Chen Zong made a prompt decision. He cut his finger and dripped a drop of blood into the center of the Bloodline True Disk. Then, the drop of blood quickly spread out and meandered through every pattern on the Bloodline True Disk. In the blink of an eye, it covered the entire Bloodline True Disk.
Chen Zong stared at the Bloodline True Disk. He was sure that he did not have any demonic beast bloodline in it, but after all, he had consumed the essence of a demonic beast's bloodline before. Moreover, his Blood Qi had reached the Great Circle, and his Blood Qi was pure Yang. His blood had also been purified. It was hard to say whether the Bloodline True Disk would show anything special.
After all, he did not have the slightest understanding of the Bloodline True Disk.
Elder Li stared at the Bloodline True Disk with complicated feelings.
He really hoped that Chen Zong had a pure human bloodline and did not have any demonic beast bloodline mixed in. This way, he would be able to receive the best training of the True Sword Academy and grow quickly. In the future, he would be able to contribute to the resistance of the Black Demon Sect.
However, he was also very worried that an accident would occur.
One had to know that ever since Chen Zong's outstanding performance, he had entered the eyes of the various elders and received a lot of attention.
This was a genius, a peak genius. If he were to be lost, it would definitely be a great pity.
At this moment, it was very tense.
If there were any signs that Chen Zong's bloodline was not pure, he would immediately be taken down by Elder Li.
The time of a single breath seemed to be extended infinitely, becoming distant and long.
Suddenly, the Bloodline True Disk emitted a white light. The white light was pure, harmonious, and even carried a trace of warmth. It was open and incomparably pure.
Chen Zong keenly sensed that Elder Li seemed to have let out a sigh of relief. Elder Li's tense body also relaxed because of this. Moreover, from the depths of his eyes, a trace of joy spread out like ripples and spread to his face. He could not help but grin.
