Chapter 17 - The first stage of the test

At this moment, a slight ripple appeared on the front of the stele. Letters appeared one by one and intertwined into words that formed into sentences.

[Since you have found a spatial pocket hidden from everyone, you are worthy of my legacy. However, even if you have luck on your side, you must be talented]

[The first trial begins]

[Each of you must touch the stele and it will reveal your body type rank. Only those with outstanding body types will be able to advance]

After these words, ripples appeared again and all the words disappeared as if by magic.

"Hahaha, just to test our talent, I'm surprised that I didn't have to fight demon beasts to pass the first stage" A mocking voice echoed loudly in the square.

And this attracted the instant attention of all the young practitioners present.

The speaker was a young man from the righteous path, he was dressed in a dark gray robe and his appearance could not be classified as first-class.

But despite this, his cultivation base was at the eighth level of Illusory Ascension(2), which could not be classified as a weakling.

Immediately after these words, he took a few steps forward, climbed the steps to the stele, and touched it with his hand.

[Name: Hao Min

Age: 20 years old

Cultivation base: Eighth level of Illusory Ascension(2)

Body rank: Earth level(3)

Failed!]

"What? He must be joking" Hao Ming was momentarily confused when he read the final result, and he even thought he had misunderstood the text.

After wiping his eyes, Hao Ming re-read it, and the result was the same. His calm expression disappeared, replaced by confusion, and he took a step back before suddenly vanishing into thin air.

He was thrown back into the desert of despair.

Isn't he more talented than us?

If he couldn't pass, what chance do we have?

These thoughts flashed through the minds of many cultivators, and their enthusiasm quickly faded.

"It seems that the creator of the spatial realm doesn't want to give his inheritance to a mediocre successor. But that's even better" Su Mingyue sighed in relief.

The first rewards he received from Xia Qing Yue's hatred included a physical body, which was extremely useful in this situation.

Shortly after Hao Ming, many people hesitated to take the first step, as the first trial was not only extremely difficult, but also anyone could repeat the fate of the righteous path youth.

"Hmph, and you call yourselves geniuses? You're acting like cowards…" Yang Li laughed and touched the stele.

[Name: Yang Li

Age: 20 years old

Cultivation base: Fourth level of Earth Ascension(3)

Body rank: Heaven level(4)

Passed!]

Immediately after a slight ripple, the suggestions disappeared again, and Yang Li disappeared, entering the second stage of the trial.

Subsequently, most of the practitioners regained their spirits and began to touch the stele one by one.

Failed!

Failed!

Failed!

As it turned out later, geniuses like Lu Cheng and Yuan Yun also passed the first stage, and their body ranks were both Heavenly Level (4).

Soon, no more than a hundred of the thousands of young practitioners who entered the spatial pocket remained in the square. More than 99% of them were thrown back into the desert of despair.

No fighting, no duels to the death. Just touching the stele and almost everyone was already eliminated, it was impossible to imagine such a result.

"Are you going or should I go?" Su Mingyue asked the woman in the black hood, her face was completely covered except for the nine ponytails swinging behind her.

Although Su Mingyue was somewhat curious, he did not make a move. This stranger clearly wanted to conceal her identity, so it was not the right time or place to inconvenience her.

"You go first, and I'll follow right behind you" she replied in a quiet but cold voice.

Su Mingyue nodded without hesitation, as there might be other reasons for her reluctance to reveal her talent.

As he touched the stele, he felt it tremble slightly, and a ripple of words appeared, forming sentences.

[Name: Su Mingyue

Age: 18 years old

Cultivation base: First level of Earth Ascension(3)

Body rank: Immortal level (???)

Passed!]

Immediately, Su Mingyue disappeared, not turning back to the group of remaining cultivators, and did not notice how the body of the stranger he had been talking to a moment ago suddenly trembled.

"It's him! Aunt, this is the person you told me about earlier. There's no mistake!" She thought with a slight smile, feeling slightly excited.

Compared to Lu Cheng, who had left a rather bad impression on her, Su Mingyue was much better.

His appearance, talent, and behavior, and even after a brief conversation with him, she realized that he was nothing like the demon others had described. There was no arrogance towards a stranger.

"Although, he was interested in my fluffy tails…" She bit her lip slightly.

Despite Su Mingyue's attempts to conceal it, the glint in his eyes when he saw her tails was undeniable.

"I need to observe him more closely, as first impressions can be misleading" Shaking her head, Jiang Hua took a step forward and placed her palm on the stele.

[Name: Jiang Hua

Age: 20 years old

Cultivation base: Third level of Earth Ascension(3)

Body rank: Immortal level(???)

Passed!]

Just like Su Mingyue, the stele began to tremble and soon the girl disappeared, moving on to the second stage of the trial.

The remaining young practitioners eventually gritted their teeth and prayed to all the gods they could think of, touching the stele and cursing the same gods they had prayed to before.

The first stage of the trial was over, and those who had failed to pass it sighed as they returned to the desert of despair.

Only five people passed, and they were Yang Li, Lu Cheng, Yuan Yun, Su Mingyue, which is quite expected. But, the fact that Jiang Hua also passed surprised many, especially her and Su Mingyue's body rank.

Immortal.

They had still heard of this rank, and everything that happened inside the first stage of the first trial and those who passed on was transmitted to the whole world.

What caused such a wave that the world seemed to shake.
