C1343 Nine Emperor Tablets
Xie Shuang, Qin Niyou, and Zhou Luqi, the three geniuses that everyone thought the most highly of, had not lived up to their expectations and won the first three places in the first round. Speaking of the biggest accident, it would have to be the new disciple Xue Xi.
After entering the sect for merely a year, he had first become a Templar three months ago.
And today, he was once again participating in the elections for the position of Holy Maiden of Kaihuang as the only new person to have passed the first round of examinations with outstanding results. This caused everyone present to be extremely surprised.
Amidst everyone's restless yet expectant emotions, the second round of the selection examination was about to begin.
On the stone platform in the middle of the Dao Pillar.
The dozen or so people on the left were unable to break through the 'Emperor Opening Illusion Thorn Array', but they were able to last until the last genius.
And the ten people on the right, led by Xie Shuang, Qin Niyou, and Zhou Luqi, were all geniuses who had successfully broken the array.
Both sides were intentionally separated, with a distance of more than ten meters between them.
"The second round of the assessment is about the purity of your Nine Emperor Bloodline!"
Great Elder Fu Shan said in a deep voice, he waved his hand and said, "This assessment is extremely important, the higher the purity of the Nine Emperor Bloodline is, the greater the advantages of cultivating the Emperor Seal."
As Fu Shan was speaking, Elder Chi Song had flashed onto the central platform.
Clan Elder Chi Song arrived at the center of the stage and waved his hand. A bright silver light flashed. Along with a wave of vigorous Qi, a peculiar stone tablet appeared on the stage.
Everyone's gazes simultaneously swept over the stone tablet.
This monolith was around two meters tall and one meter wide, and it stood on the surface of the stage.
It had a dark grey colour to it, and it exuded an icy cold and ancient aura.
The edges of the stone tablet were especially smooth and flat. The surface of the tablet was covered with complicated runes and array glyphs. In the center of the complex, ancient runes was a picture of nine stars.
The nine star patterns seemed to form a twisted dragon pattern.
It looked very ordinary, but if one looked closely, they would sense a hidden energy fluctuation inside.
"This item is called the 'Nine Emperor Divine Tablet'. It is an item specifically designed to test the purity of the Nine Emperor's bloodline."
Great Elder Fu Shan explained in a clear voice to the rest. He solemnly pointed to the Nine Emperor Divine Stele and said, "The test method is very simple. All of you use your best efforts to condense a rune and send it into the sacred tablet. "According to the power of the rune, the sacred monolith will detect the density of the Nine Emperor Bloodlines you all possess."
"I believe some people will ask. If one's cultivation was different, would the strength of the condensed runes be able to affect one's judgement? I am responsible enough to tell you that the purity of the Nine Emperor Bloodline has nothing to do with your own cultivation. The Nine Emperor Divine Stele will not make a mistake. "
Great Elder Fu Shan's explanation was extremely detailed.
After all, this was a matter concerning the highest level of matters in the Imperial Palace, so not even the slightest mistake could be tolerated. It was necessary to explain every detail clearly.
Everyone in the audience listened attentively. No one was thinking about anything else at this point in time.
"So, what is considered outstanding about the Nine Emperor Bloodline? Take a look at the nine star patterns on the sacred monument. The stronger your Nine Emperor Bloodline is, the more star charts will be illuminated. 9 stars was the best, 1 star was the worst. And the lowest standard of this stage is the purity of a five star bloodline. "
"Crash!"
As soon as the Great Elder finished speaking, the entire arena burst into chaos.
The minimum requirement is the purity of a 5-star bloodline. In other words, those who can light up a 5-star bloodline can advance to the next round of the examination. As for those below 5-star, they could only be eliminated.
Such a standard was not low at all.
But when she thought about the fact that the candidate chosen was the Lord Protector of the Holy Maiden of Kaihuang, the conditions were naturally harsh.
"Who has questions?" Fu Shan shouted.
No one replied, and all of their faces showed traces of anticipation.
"Since that's the case, this elder declares that the second round of the exam will begin now!"
A vast and majestic aura swept out in all directions like a raging hurricane. The aura of the crowd was all stirred.
Elder Chi Song slightly nodded, he raised his right hand and said to the ten geniuses on the left, "You guys go first!"
These dozen or so people had been unable to break through the Illusionary Assault Array, but they had still managed to persevere to the very end.
Compared to Xie Shuang, Qin Niyou, Zhou Luqi and a few others who were on the right side, they were in a weaker side.
Subsequently, a beautiful young woman with a ponytail walked out first.
Elder Chi Song took a few steps back, giving the other party more space.
"It's Senior An Hong."
"She should be able to light up five stars!"
"I don't know. Senior An Hong is very hardworking and has high talent, so it shouldn't be a problem."
The crowd below the stage whispered to each other, filled with anticipation.
An Hong walked up to the front of the Nine Emperor Divine Stele and let out a long sigh of relief, a cold light flashing in her eyes.
"Buzz buzz!"
The imposing aura of half a step into the Entering the Saint realm unreservedly erupted from his body. With a move of his palm, over a dozen bright and resplendent symbols quickly fused together, finally forming a powerful symbol that flickered with lightning.
A lightning rune!
An Hong gave a soft shout as she pushed her palm forward.
In the next instant, those lightning symbols directly bombarded the Nine Emperor Divine Stele.
"Rumble!"
As soon as it came into contact with the lightning runes, the ice-cold Nine Emperor Divine Tablet began to emit a faint light. The ancient runes on the surface of the tablet began to emit a bright light.
The magnificent light patterns surged towards the nine star patterns in the middle.
"Buzz!"
The first star was bright!
The hearts of everyone in the audience quivered, and their eyes lit up.
"Buzz!"
The second star was bright.
The third star was bright.
The fourth star was bright.
When it reached the fifth star, the energy fluctuations of the Nine Emperor Divine Stele weakened accordingly. The fifth star flashed a few times, but didn't light up.
He had failed!
The entire audience couldn't help but sigh as the clamoring noise continued to alarm them.
"Senior An Hong actually failed?"
"This is too unexpected!"
Standing below the stage, Han Chen's eyes became serious, and some confusion emerged from between his brows.
It wasn't too clear what the standard was for how strong the Nine Emperor Bloodline was, but it could be confirmed that the requirements for this trial were extremely harsh.
"The 4-star bloodline is rich, failure!" Clan Elder Chi Song looked at the monument and said indifferently.
An Hong's face paled, and a tinge of sadness gushed out from her eyes. Gritting her teeth, she suppressed the disappointment in her heart and walked off the stage. The position of the Holy Maiden of Kaihuang was destined to be unrelated to her.
Elder Chi Song did not have much of an emotional change, his eyes raised slightly as he continued speaking.
"Next examiner, please step forward!"
