Chapter 105: The Entrance Test
The crowd waiting on the meadow suddenly heard a loud "dong" – like Heavenly Sound spreading across the grassland. Everything instantly fell silent as people stopped talking and moving, all looking upward.
Golden light burst through the clouds, revealing massive floating peaks wrapped in mist. Towering palaces stood atop them, protected by a huge golden formation that gave off strong Pressure like a powerful guardian keeping people from getting close.
No one spoke as they stared at these celestial mountains. Several figures suddenly flew down from the peaks, covering great distances in moments to appear before the crowd.
Five women in white cloud-patterned robes floated above on Spirit Swords, their faces fair as flowers with willow-leaf eyebrows. A faint white glow surrounded them.
"Celestials!" someone shouted. The crowd immediately dropped to their knees, bowing deeply.
"Rise. We’re Zhen Yan Sect disciples," Shui Yan said coldly. "The disciple Selection begins now. Listen to the rules."
But people kept kneeling, eyes full of awe. Shui Yan and her sisters sure knew how to make an entrance, showing off their impressive presence!
You You sat at the main hall square, watching everything through the water mirror. All disciples had gathered behind her for this event. She’d declared a holiday so everyone could watch the Selection together – transparency was important for fairness!
Even Qiu Zhang paused his Soul Nurturing, floating upfront to comment on candidates. "That one’s got good Qualifications… This one could memorize secret manuals…"
Little Flame buzzed around You You, roasting sunflower seeds with its fire and offering them in a red lotus bowl. Snacks for the show – how considerate!
"The Selection has ten Tests checking Qualifications, understanding, and potential," Shui Yan explained below. "Fail and you’ll be sent away." She activated the formation, making glowing steps appear in the sky – a heavenly ladder leading to the mountain gate.
"Reach the top before sunset to join our sect," she announced. People rushed the wide stairs eagerly.
But the first climbers started vanishing after just 20 steps. The crowd slowed down, realizing this wasn’t just simple stair-climbing.
Shui Yan flew back to the main peak with her sisters. Why watch live when you can view everything through the water mirror with the sect master?
The mirror showed something different – a forest full of monsters chasing vanished candidates. You You jumped seeing hairless beasts resembling Wen Ze’s pet.
"Just illusions made by Master Yuan’s formation," Ling Qi explained.
Yuan Qi smiled, handing her shelled nuts. "I used Wen Ze for monster references since I couldn’t remember others."
Wen Ze licked his fluffy jacket while watching. "Fakes! None have my style!" he scoffed at the bald copies.
"Being ‘eaten’ just sends them home," Ling Qi added. "But if they fight the monsters, they get back on the ladder."
Most failed this courage test. The meadow emptied quickly, leaving less than 10% on the stairs. Even some returnees quit immediately.
As the remaining climbers continued, the water mirror shifted to show the next illusion – but that’s another chapter’s tale.
