Chapter 19: Yuan Spirit Realm
The faces of the High Elders of the Su Family cramped up. As the eldest grandson of the Su Family, he represented the “face” of the family, but now, this act of him getting off the stage like a crawling dog brought quite a lot of “honor” to the family.
“Isn’t that Su Yi?”
“He is still a piece of trash. There is no way for him to match up with the rest of the Young Masters!”
Seeing Su Yi’s way of exit, many people sent mocking gazes his way.
“My good nephew, Su Yi’s way of exit is quite the surprise!”
“This manner of exit is, unique.”
He Yi Kuan, Mo Lai, and Song Ming, the three of them looked at Su Jing Ting. Their words brought a hint of teasing, but there was no evil intent. It was just pure teasing.
“This-, my nephew always likes to take an alternative path,” Su Jing Ting said, slightly awkward and helpless.
Liu Zong Yuan remained silent, but his gaze, whether intentionally or not, fell on Su Yi who had already left the platform.
“So, he is the Su Yi who my female junior Liu Ruoxi talked about.”
Behind Dharma Protector Wang, among the few haughty youths, there was a young lady around 16-17 years old. Her eyes fell upon Su Yi and could not help but examine him a tad more.
The soft lips of the lady were cherry red, her eyebrows delicate. She was around 16-17 years old. Her lush black hair was tied back into a bun, through it a hairpin with flower engravings and at the hairpin’s tip hung a tassel. The bangs in front of her forehead drifted in the wind freely, absolutely stunning. Standing in the middle of the crowd, there were quite several young men looking at her discreetly.
Su Yi acted like he did not know that people were staring at him after he landed on the ground., He casually walked to the center of the stage and stood together with all the young men and ladies.
His eyes scanned the area and found out that the Song Family, Mo Family, He Family, and Su Family, each family had the same number of participants, but the Liu Family had a few more than the other four big families.
“Su Yi, just you wait. Later on, if you dare, don’t you run away!”
“After the test, there will be hell to pay!”
“When the time comes, whoever runs away is a coward!”
Mo Bu Fan, He San, and Song Wu Qiu, the three of them were finally standing together with Su Yi. They stared at him, their eyes spitting fire as they warned him discreetly.
“Okay, after the test, I will be waiting for you three little brats,” Su Yi felt so helpless. Even though he did not want to bother with these three kids, continually being pestered like this was not a way either. Looks like it has to be like old times, teach them a good lesson and they will become much more well-behaved.
Whoosh!
As Su Yi finished his words, on the platform, a man around 30 years old beside Dharma Protector Wang, stood up. A light shone beneath his feet and when he gently touched the surface, he shot up into the air.
Boom!
In an instant, there was a movement of light underneath the man’s feet. An intimidating aura exploded in the area.
Under the surprised gazes of the people, a faint figure of a leopard around 3 meters in length appeared under the man’s feet, its teeth baring, claws extended and eyes leaking out a ferocious gaze. It was as if it was real.
The man waved his sleeve and moved. His feet stepped on the faint leopard. With a dull sound of breaking the air, he slowly landed on the square, facing towards the dozens of young boys and girls and the faint figure of the leopard under his feet also disappeared after that.
“Yuan Qi Materialization, he is a Yuan Spirit Realm expert!”
“Oh my god, that’s a Yuan Spirit Realm expert!”
Seeing what that man just did, the spectators were shocked, their eyes trembling. Some were filled with jealousy, others filled with yearning and respect.
Yuan Qi Materialization was a sign of a Yuan Spirit Realm expert. It was enough to prove that the man was already an expert in the Yuan Spirit Realm.
Every realm before the Yuan Soul Realm was just the beginning. When you reach the Yuan Soul Realm, that is when you can truly be considered a real martial artist.
After the foundation-building stage comes the Yuan Soul Realm, followed by the Yuan Xuan Realm.
After the Yuan Xuan Realm comes the Yuan Spirit Realm
Once one reaches the Yuan Spirit Realm, Yuan Qi can materialize, marking them as one of the strongest.
In the entire City of Man, those who could reach the Yuan Spirit Realm could be counted on one hand.
Only the respective Heads of the large families had reached the Yuan Spirit Realm.
On top of the platform, seeing that man’s Yuan Qi materializing, Su Jing Ting, Liu Zong Yuan, and the rest couldn’t help but change their facial expressions.
Though they were also in the Yuan Spirit Realm, this man was only slightly more than 30 years old, while the rest of them were already over 40 and even nearing 50.
The faint image of a leopard beneath the man’s feet was a sign that he had long since entered the Yuan Spirit Realm and was possibly already in the Third Grade of the Yuan Spirit Realm. How could this sight not shock the heads of the large families?
Now, the heads of the big families and the upper echelon all wished even more for the younger generations of their families to be able to enter Sacred Mountain.
“Yuan Qi Materialization, Yuan Spirit Realm!” Su Yi’s eyes also fell upon the man. The Yuan Spirit Realm was enough to place anyone among the strong.
“The test is simple. Grip the Yuan Testing Stone firmly. Clear your mind and pour your Yuan Qi into the stone with all your might. At that moment, we will see your talent!”
The man landed, and his gaze swept over the group of young men and women. Without anyone noticing how, a stone appeared in his palm, as tall as half a human body.
The white stone resembled jade. It had the shape of a stone wall, crystal clear. The man placed it on the stone platform already prepared in the center of the stage.
“He has an interspatial bag!” Su Yi was slightly surprised. This man had an interspatial bag.
Inside an interspatial bag was an isolated space. Even though its value didn’t match its cost, the cheapest interspatial bag was still not something any Yuan Spirit Realm expert could afford.
“Sacred Mountain must be more extraordinary than it appears.”
Seeing the man, Su Yi’s desire to enter Sacred Mountain only grew stronger.
The man having an interspatial bag didn’t surprise Su Yi at all. He was certain that Sacred Mountain was extremely wealthy. Once he entered, he might even be able to gain some rewards.
However, in the upper echelon of the respective large families, their attention was solely focused on the Yuan Testing Stone.
The Yuan Testing Stone was no ordinary item. Even in the entire city, it was rare. Thus, it was also difficult to assess the talents of the younger generations.
“The test begins now. Line up and proceed one by one.”
The man paid no attention to the astonished gazes and instructed everyone to begin preparing for the test.
Before the expert from Sacred Mountain, these youths, who were normally proud in the city, were now nervous and behaved very cautiously.
A young man from the Liu Family approached first. After greeting the man with a bow of respect, he followed the instructions. He raised his hand and grasped the Yuan Testing Stone. Yuan Qi flowed through his body. From the center of his palm, a wave of Yuan Qi surged into the stone.
As the young man began his test, the surrounding noise and chatter gradually faded, and all gazes focused on the center of the stage.
On the platform, the upper echelon of the Liu Family, including Liu Zong Yuan, were all extremely nervous. This young man had excelled in the family from a young age, but they didn’t know if he had enough potential to be chosen by Sacred Mountain.
Boom!
As Yuan Qi rushed in, the Yuan Testing Stone on the stone table began emitting light. It was as though it was being pulled by something, and a very imposing aura surged out suddenly, forcing the surrounding youths to step back involuntarily, nearly causing some to fall.
At the same time, four different colors of light—gold, green, black, and cyan—burst from the stone, but they appeared and vanished in an instant. The Yuan Testing Stone then began to calm down.
“The stage of ‘Refining the Void and forming the Path.’ Metal, Wood, Water, and Earth—four types of Yuan Qi. Average talent. Not qualified to enter Sacred Mountain!”
As the Yuan Testing Stone settled, the man’s voice echoed, resonating throughout the venue.
