"The assessment of an official disciple is divided into several steps, or in other words, several conditions must be met at the same time." One of the three elders said to Chen Zong, "The first is age, the second is bloodline, the third is cultivation, and the fourth is strength. Only when these four conditions are met at the same time can one pass the assessment and become an official disciple."
Another elder immediately took out a mirror. The mirror was bronze in color. One side of the mirror was smooth, as if it could reflect everything, but it also seemed to be hazy. On the other side, there were countless hollow patterns. It was very mysterious and contained endless mysteries.
"This mirror is called the Small Celestial Mirror. It's a replica of the legendary treasure, the Small Celestial Mirror. Chen Shidi, don't underestimate it just because it's a replica," Yu Zhengxiao explained with a smile.
"That's right. Although the Small Celestial Mirror is a replica, it's still a rare treasure. As long as you drop a drop of blood on it, you'll understand its mystery," the elder who took the Small Celestial Mirror said with a smile.
Chen Zong nodded. He stretched out a finger and cut it, squeezing out a drop of blood that was as red as a flawless gem. It fell down like the most exquisite red jade bead.
"What pure blood."
The three elders were amazed when they saw it. This meant that Chen Zong had refined his Qi and blood to an amazing level. It also meant that Chen Zong's martial arts foundation was very solid.
A crisp sound came from the Small Celestial Mirror. However, the drop of blood did not splatter. Instead, it spread out naturally, covering the entire mirror in an instant, and then slowly seeping into the mirror.
A faint red light emerged from the inside of the Small Celestial Mirror. The hollow patterns on the back of the Small Celestial Mirror seemed to come alive. They danced like dragons and snakes, dazzling people. The three elders and Yu Zhengxiao all stared at the mirror carefully. Chen Zong also stared at it.
Gradually, as the blood-red light receded, words began to appear on the blurry surface of the mirror. One by one, the words attracted everyone's attention.
Age: 26.
Bloodline: Human Clan, Ordinary.
These simple words revealed part of Chen Zong's information.
"Chen Shidi, you're only 26 years old," Yu Zhengxiao stared at Chen Zong in surprise, "You're more outstanding than I thought."
"Elders, Chen Shidi's strength is no less than mine," Yu Zhengxiao said to the three elders.
"What?!" The three elders trembled when they heard this, and their expressions changed drastically.
Who was Yu Zhengxiao?
Yu Zhengxiao......................................................................
Then, the three elders thought of another point, and they were even more shocked.
If he remembered correctly, Yu Zhengxiao's age should be 28 years old, and Chen Zong's age should be 26 years old through the Small Celestial Mirror's appraisal.
The Small Celestial Mirror had never made a mistake, which meant that Chen Zong's real age was 26 years old.
He was two years younger than Yu Zhengxiao, but his strength was no less than Yu Zhengxiao's. This might mean that he had more amazing potential than Yu Zhengxiao.
Immediately, the three elders sucked in a breath of cold air. Their gazes towards Chen Zong seemed to contain turbulent waves.
"Yu Zhengxiao, it's not that we doubt you, but this is a serious matter. Are you sure that Chen Zong's strength is no less than yours?" One of the three elders said with a serious face.
"Yes." Yu Zhengxiao seemed to have thought of something and nodded solemnly.
"Chen Zong, look at the Small Celestial Mirror and tell me where you're from. Why did you come to the Tai Yuan Heaven Sect? "The elder who took the Small Celestial Mirror took a deep breath and asked Chen Zong solemnly.
"I came from Chaotian Island and joined the Tai Yuan Heaven Sect in order to cultivate better and pursue a stronger path." Chen Zong took a deep breath and stood in front of the Small Celestial Mirror. The mirror flashed with a bloody light and reflected Chen Zong's solemn figure.
As Chen Zong finished speaking, ripples spread out on the Small Celestial Mirror like a stone falling into water, distorting Chen Zong's figure.
Soon after, the ripples gradually became fine and restrained, and Chen Zong's reflection appeared clearly once again.
Chen Zong didn't know what this meant, but Yu Zhengxiao and the three elders all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Drip a drop of blood on the Minor Celestial Mirror, and the Minor Celestial Mirror will identify your age and bloodline. Also, within a certain period of time, the owner of the blood will stand in front of the Minor Celestial Mirror and answer questions. If you lie, the reflection will shatter."
Chen Zong understood. His reflection appeared clearly, which meant that he didn't lie.
The Small Celestial Mirror was indeed magical.
The test for the official disciples of the Tai Yuan Heaven Sect was also magical.
"The Tai Yuan Heaven Sect only accepts the Human Clan as disciples. It's better if you have a special bloodline of the Human Clan." An elder explained, "Asking about your origin and purpose is to prevent people with ulterior motives from sneaking in."
"Chen Zong, you've passed three tests. There's only one left, but it's a serious matter. I've already sent a message to the Mountain Master."
"The Mountain Master of Blue Feather Mountain!" Chen Zong was surprised.
The Mountain Master of Blue Feather Mountain was the Mountain Master. If Blue Feather Mountain was compared to a Sect, then the Mountain Master of Blue Feather Mountain was the Sect Master.
"The Mountain Master has replied. He wants us to go to Blue Feather Hall." The elder who sent the message to the Mountain Master immediately said excitedly.
For elders of their level, it was usually quite difficult for them to meet the Mountain Master.
In the Seven Mountains of the Tai Yuan Heaven Sect, as long as one was a Transcendent Realm expert, they could become an elder. However, the Extreme Mortal Realm elders had the lowest status, but they were also the most numerous. Even the esoteric disciples had a higher status than them.
The Earth Spirit Realm elders had a much higher status and enjoyed much more power. Some of them were in charge of the external affairs, while others were in charge of the core disciples and esoteric disciples. Therefore, esoteric disciples had to be respectful in front of the Earth Spirit Realm elders.
As for the Profound Heaven Stage elders, there were very few of them. Each one of them was an elder with real power, such as Yu Zhengxiao's master, Elder Cang Xuan.
A young cultivator who came from an island in the sea was younger than Yu Zhengxiao, but his strength was not inferior to Yu Zhengxiao's. He was qualified to be summoned by the Mountain Master of Blue Feather Mountain.
Of course, whether or not to summon him was entirely up to the Mountain Master. If he didn't summon him, the Mountain Master would usually send a Profound Heaven Stage elder to meet him.
The three elders, Yu Zhengxiao and Chen Zong quickly rushed to the Blue Feather Hall at the peak.
The Blue Feather Hall was greyish-white in color. Its shape was a little strange. One side was high while the other was low, as if it was slanted. It looked like the outline of an open wing from the side, but it didn't give off a strange feeling. On the contrary, it looked very harmonious and natural.
The hall's doors were wide open. When Chen Zong took his first step inside, he felt an indescribable feeling. The world spirit qi was incomparably rich and pure, and contained many mysteries. It seemed that as long as one calmed down and carefully comprehended it, one would be able to obtain obvious benefits.
Several gazes fell on Chen Zong's body, giving Chen Zong an unparalleled pressure. Chen Zong's footsteps paused, and his body seemed to freeze.
Only after a couple of breaths' time did Chen Zong finally take a step forward. His back foot also stepped into the hole. Immediately, the extremely frightening pressure also disappeared like smoke.
Deep in the center of the Blue Feather Hall, a figure was seated on a huge feather-like chair. The figure's face was a little blurry, but the aura it gave off gave Chen Zong a feeling that it was as heavy as a mountain, but also as light as if it could fly into the sky.
It was very contradictory, but also very strange.
Another figure sat on the lower left. His face was also a little blurry, but Chen Zong could feel their gazes on him, as if they wanted to see through him.
"Greetings, Mountain Master. Greetings, Elder Cang Ming." Yu Zhengxiao and the other three elders bowed.
"Greetings, Seniors." Chen Zong had yet to officially join the Blue Feather Mountain Master, so he addressed them as seniors.
"Give me the Small Celestial Mirror." The Blue Feather Mountain Master spoke. His voice sounded a little old, but also a little young. It was as if two people were speaking at the same time, with a mixture of accents. It sounded very strange.
The Small Celestial Mirror flew into the air and landed in the Blue Feather Mountain Master's hand. He tapped his finger lightly, and layers of ripples spread out from the surface of the mirror. The information from before was replayed.
"You are Chen Zong. Let me see your strength." The Blue Feather Mountain Master put away the Small Celestial Mirror and said, "Yu Zhengxiao, use your full strength to fight him."
"Yes, Mountain Master." After Yu Zhengxiao bowed, he pulled out his long saber and slashed out a pale saber light. The saber light was highly condensed, as if countless saber Qi and saber radiance were compressed within it. If one looked carefully, one could see that there seemed to be something flowing within the saber light. That flow made the saber light even more powerful.
This was just an ordinary saber strike, but it was also a strike that Yu Zhengxiao used his full strength to execute.
He drew his sword!
The sword light was shocking, illuminating the surroundings. It was as if a sun and a moon were standing side by side in the sky. The sun and moon shone together, condensing into a cross-shaped sword light. It was as if the Blue Feather Palace had been divided into four parts, and it slashed towards the pale saber light.
The saber light shattered, and the sword light dissipated, turning into countless rays of light that dissipated in the surroundings. It was unknown when, but the dense sound of sharp saber and sword clashing could be heard. Thousands of sparks lingered in the surroundings, bursting out and splashing, illuminating the Blue Feather Palace with starlight.
It was Chen Zong and Yu Zhengxiao using their full speed to close in on each other. They were using exquisite and powerful sword and saber techniques to fight.
This battle was more thorough and vivid than the previous one. It also allowed Chen Zong and Yu Zhengxiao to understand each other's strength.
Half-step Sword Force allowed Chen Zong's every strike to be astonishingly powerful. Each strike made Yu Zhengxiao feel as if there was an invisible giant sword slashing towards him.
Chen Zong was also surprised by Yu Zhengxiao's saber technique realm. He was only one step away from comprehending Half-step Sword Force.
Moreover, Yu Zhengxiao's long saber contained an extremely powerful force. It was different from pseudo spiritual power, and it was even more powerful than pseudo spiritual power.
