1436 Chapter 1436: Diamond Immortal Stone
The crowd, who had been eager for a long time, immediately went up the stairs on the side of the square platform when they heard this voice. On the bright and clean platform, thousands of white jade tables were arranged neatly. Each table was engraved with a number, which corresponded to the wooden token that everyone received when they registered.
It didn't take long for everyone to find their positions.
Tang Huan had only rushed over when the registration was about to end, and was ranked more than four thousand. The table that belonged to him was naturally at the back of the bright and clear stage.
At the edge of the square platform facing the thousands of Weapon Refiner disciples, there was a small square platform that was about a hundred meters long and wide.
The eighteen steps connected the small square platform to the bright and clear platform below. On the small square platform, an exquisite and grand hall was built.
At this moment, there were dozens of figures standing in front of the hall.
Tang Huan did not investigate their auras, but the ones who would be standing there now should be Tian Gong from the Heavenly Imperial Palace. The current Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Palace had three middle-grade Heaven Craftsmen and sixty-four low-grade Heaven Craftsmen. In the three great sects of the "Flowing Flower Domain", they could be considered to be at the bottom.
Amongst the group of Tian Gong, Tang Huan caught a familiar figure. It was Lu Zhiyuan's elder brother, Lu Zhitao.
In regards to this, Tang Huan was not surprised. When they met in the Inner Palace, Tang Huan had already sensed that he was an Inferior Heaven Craftsman, so it was not surprising that he would appear in the Bright Clear Platform today. When they left that day, Lu Zhitao had said that the two of them would meet again very soon.
Lu Zhitao seemed to have also noticed Tang Huan's existence, but the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he shifted his gaze away, not paying too much attention to him.
"Everyone!"
In front of the hall, the loud and clear voice rang out once again. The one who spoke was a middle-aged man wearing a light yellow robe, "This year's general election is different from the past. In the past, the general election was voluntary, but this time, as long as you are in the Outer Palace, no matter what your Tools Method Attainments is, you must participate!"
"The reason for making such a change is very simple, and that is to allow disciples of the Heavenly Palace who are not Saint-rank Heavenly Blacksmith s to have the opportunity to enter the Inner Palace and receive strong nurturing. We must not let those Weapon Refiner s with outstanding talent, but whose Tools Method Attainments are still relatively low, be left out of the Heavenly Imperial City!"
"Next up, I hope that everyone will be able to perform well. No matter if you are a Saint-rank Heavenly Blacksmith or a Heaven Stage Heavenly Blacksmith, as long as you perform well, you will have a chance to enter the Heavenly Imperial City!"
"Does everyone understand?"
"Understood!"
On the bright and clear platform, the thousands of refiners responded loudly with different expressions. Some were anxious, some were excited, some were confident, and some were nervous.
"Very good."
The middle-aged man nodded in satisfaction and clapped his hands twice.
Although the clapping sound was not loud, it immediately resounded throughout the entire square platform. Soon after, two rows of cultivators walked out of the palace. There were a total of hundreds of people, and each of them had a tray in their hands. The tray was flickering with white light, and each of them had ten round white balls with different attributes.
The ones who distributed the balls were obviously the Heavenly Blacksmith attendants of the Artifact Spirit Heavenly Imperial Palace.
They quickly moved through the clear platform, and very quickly, there was an extra one on the table in front of each Weapon Refiner disciple. Tang Huan was like the other cultivators around him, he grabbed it and weighed it in his hand. Although it was only the size of a baby's fist, it was extremely heavy, probably around five thousand kilograms.
"This seems to be the 'Diamond Immortal Stone'?"
After pondering for a while, Tang Huan recognized the origin of this ball.
The Diamond Immortal Stone was neither a Dao Stone nor an iron crystal. It could not be used to forge weapons, and its texture was extremely hard. Even a high-grade Dao Artifact would not be able to harm it. However, if it was burned by firepower, it would easily turn into a pile of fine powder.
"Ahhh, it's actually the 'Diamond Immortal Stone'!"
"This thing can't withstand fire. I wonder how we can use it to test our Tools Method Attainments?"
"Diamond Immortal Stone... I'm afraid I'm going to fail this time!"
"..."
The Diamond Immortal Stone was not a rare thing, and the majority of the cultivators recognized it at a glance. On the bright and clear platform, cries of misery immediately sounded out.
"As you can see."
After the hundreds of Heavenly Imperial Attendants left, the middle-aged man in front of the hall once again shouted, "What was placed in front of you just now is a very common 'Diamond Immortal Stone'. Next, everyone, you only need to use your firepower to drill a hole through this' Diamond Immortal Stone '."
"Using firepower to drill holes in immortal stones?"
"Drilling?" "It's over, it's over, it's definitely over this time."
"This test is extremely difficult."
"..."
The bright and clear platform was in an uproar as wails rang out from all directions. Many of the Weapon Refiner disciples had already drooped their heads, their faces looking as if they had lost their parents.
"Firepower drilling?"
Tang Huan looked at the immortal stone in his hand and could not help but laugh.
This test method was indeed ingenious. The "Diamond Immortal Stone" was not resistant to firepower in the first place, so when drilling, there was an extremely high requirement for firepower control.
The firepower was too strong, and the firepower was too weak.
This was because this "Diamond Immortal Stone" was incomparably sturdy. If the firepower was too weak, it would not be able to shake it in the slightest. Wanting to drill a hole in the stone was tantamount to a fantasy.
No wonder there was only one round of tests in this general election.
At the end of this round, the majority of the Weapon Refiner disciples would probably be eliminated, and there would only be a few left.
"The time limit for this test is two hours." The middle-aged man acted as if he did not hear the sighs of the crowd, and said with a face full of smiles, "Saint-rank Heavenly Blacksmith, if you successfully leave two holes on the immortal stone, you can pass the general election. Heaven Stage Heavenly Blacksmith only needs one hole to pass."
"There is no limit to the number of people in this Heavenly Imperial City's general election. As long as you pass, you can enter the 'Artifact Spirit Heavenly Fault'."
As the middle-aged man finished speaking, there was finally some laughter on the stage.
There was no limit to the number of people who could be selected, which made many refiners who were confident in passing the test secretly heave a sigh of relief. If it was in the past, if a hundred people passed, then only a few dozen people would be selected. But this time, if a hundred people passed, then all one hundred people would be able to enter the Heavenly Imperial Court, and there was no need to worry about not being selected.
"Everyone, get ready."
The middle-aged man's voice rang out once again. The thousands of Weapon Refiner disciples, no matter what they were thinking, immediately calmed themselves down and got rid of all distracting thoughts.
"Begin!"
In an instant, the middle-aged man waved his hand.
With his order, the huge hourglass that had just been moved out of the palace immediately flipped over. The sand in the funnel slowly fell down, and the sound of rustling could be heard continuously. On the bright and clear platform, all the Weapon Refiner disciples immediately calmed their minds and focused their attention on the immortal stone.
