23: A sword pavilion filled with human practitioners!
Sword Dao Supreme: Born with extreme Comprehension Ability for the Sword Dao, possessing a unique understanding of the Sword Dao. When combined with Sword Dao Cultivation Technique, its effectiveness is multiplied a hundredfold!
"Another red talent?"
"And this time it's Sword Dao Supreme?"
"Good, good, good! So this is how we're playing, one black, one white!"
Su Ming recalled the business genius he drew in the last simulation; it wasn't useless, but its effect was minimal.
This time, the Sword Dao Supreme combined with his Supreme Void Sword Art was simply perfect.
Having obtained the Sword Dao Supreme, you immediately began to Cultivate the Supreme Void Sword Art!
One year later, you successfully Cultivated the Supreme Void Sword Art from beginner to Minor Achievement.
At the same time, you also Cultivated the Great Void Sword Intent!
Ye Chuxue saw you emerge from your year-long seclusion, your Cultivation even more profound, with wisps of Sword Intent swirling around your body.
At this moment, you also noticed Ye Chuxue. After you provided her with abundant resources, she Broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage within a year.
"Broke through? Do you know the truth now?"
Ye Chuxue looked at you with complex eyes; she hadn't expected the truth of this world to be so dark.
"What should we do next? Azure Cloud Sect is already hunting us throughout Qingzhou!"
Ye Chuxue regarded you as her current backbone and began to ask you about your future plans.
You told her to temporarily Cultivate in Huang Village. You were going on a long journey, which would last anywhere from one or two years to three to five years.
Before you left, you told her to Break through to Foundation Establishment Completion Stage as much as possible before you returned, and then you would take her to the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm to Breakthrough.
Ye Chuxue naturally knew what the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm was, so she nodded in agreement without any hesitation.
You left a large amount of resources plundered from Azure Cloud Sect for Ye Chuxue, and then headed towards Youzhou yourself.
This time, you planned to leave Qingzhou and see the situation in other prefectures.
Based on the current information about the Canglan Realm, you had no idea what the true situation was like.
Half a year later, you successfully arrived at the border of Youzhou.
You had previously learned that the overall situation in Youzhou was divided among four top forces: Dan Sect, Sword Pavilion, Yin Yang Sect, and Feather Transformation Sect.
As for Youzhou's Forbidden Ground, it was the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm, located in the Sky Abyss at the border with Qingzhou, just like Qingzhou's!
Your main purpose in coming to Youzhou this time was to seize Cultivation resources.
Qingzhou was now full of wanted posters for you, making it somewhat difficult to infiltrate Wanmo Sect and Fenglei Sect again.
The first force you arrived at was the Sword Pavilion!
Possessing the Sword Dao Supreme talent, you naturally had a good impression of the Sword Pavilion.
You concealed your Cultivation to the ninth level of Qi Condensation, then went to the Sword Pavilion to register, intending to join it.
However, when you arrived at the Sword Mountain of the Sword Pavilion, you found it packed with people, all queueing to register for the Sword Pavilion.
At the same time, you also heard various people discussing the Sword Pavilion around you.
"This time, for the Sword Pavilion's Disciple recruitment, how many do you think will successfully join the Sword Pavilion?"
"That's hard to say. No one has successfully joined the Sword Pavilion for three years now."
"Alas! The Sword Pavilion's recruitment requirements are truly too high, but I heard that the Sword Pavilion offers exceptionally good benefits to every Disciple who successfully joins, with Cultivation resources several times that of other Sects!"
"Isn't that obvious? You don't even look at how few Disciples the Sword Pavilion has from top to bottom!"
"Although the Sword Pavilion has very few Disciples, each one is capable of fighting ten others!"
...
Listening to the surrounding discussions, you generally understood the basic situation of the Sword Pavilion.
What surprised you was that the Sword Pavilion recruited Disciples every year, but had not successfully recruited a single Disciple for thirty years.
You couldn't understand what the Sword Pavilion was thinking, that its recruitment standards were so strict.
In your opinion, this completely did not conform to the recruitment style of a large Sect.
Although you had to admit that the Sword Pavilion's benefits were excellent, the extremely high threshold deterred people.
Three hours later, it was finally your turn.
The person in charge of the assessment led you to a stone tablet and gave you half an incense stick's time to comprehend on your own.
As for what to comprehend, the other party didn't say, just left directly, leaving you alone.
You looked at the person next to you who was also being assessed and asked them what the content of this assessment was.
The other party gave you an impatient glance.
"You ask me what it is? I'd like to ask you what it is!"
"The Sword Pavilion's assessments have always been like this. Those who failed even think the Sword Pavilion is playing tricks on them, using a broken stone to assess them."
Seeing this, you stopped asking, closed your eyes, and sensed the stone tablet in front of you.
The next second, you felt a faint Sword Intent from the stone tablet!
Buzz buzz buzz!
Soon, the stone tablet vibrated, and the Sword Intent on the stone tablet resonated with you.
The assessment Disciple who had just left not long ago instantly appeared beside you, looking at you in shock.
He hadn't expected that you would directly communicate with the Sword Intent on the stone tablet just as the assessment began. This was something the Sword Pavilion had never encountered since its inception.
"Congratulations, you passed the assessment! Follow me!"
The young man led you away from the assessment area, under everyone's astonished gazes.
Before long, you were led into a large hall.
The young man spoke to the empty hall.
"Pavilion Master! This is the only Disciple who passed the assessment this year, and..."
At this point, the young man gave you a deep look and continued.
"And he passed the assessment very quickly, only taking a few breaths of time."
As soon as he finished speaking, you felt a strong Sword Intent surge towards you, and the Great Void Sword Intent within your body couldn't help but want to resist it.
However, this Sword Intent came and went quickly.
You successfully suppressed the Great Void Sword Intent that was about to erupt within you.
A white-haired old man appeared before your eyes, sizing you up and down.
"A Sword Dao prodigy! Heaven blesses my Sword Pavilion!"
"Lin Tian, you may leave first!"
After the Sword Pavilion Master sent Lin Tian, who had brought you, away, he gave you a meaningful look.
"You're not at the ninth level of Qi Condensation, are you!"
At these words, a wave of shock surged within you.
You hadn't expected your concealment technique to be useless in the eyes of the white-haired old man.
Just as you were about to use the Great Void Art to escape, the white-haired old man's next words shocked you again.
"Don't worry! There are no Demonic Insects in the Sword Pavilion, only normal humans!"
"What? The Sword Pavilion is full of normal humans?"
Su Ming was startled by the content he saw here.
In the current Canglan Realm, there was actually a Cultivation force composed only of humans.
And it was such an openly operating force, which Su Ming had never imagined even in death.
He didn't understand how they had survived safely for so many years, nor how they ensured that every Disciple was an Awakened One.
Assessment???
