Chapter 61 - Spirit Testing Stage
Within three days, more than 500 people had gathered before the stone gate. Most of them were mortals who had not cultivated before and there were a couple dozens of Qi Refinement Warriors.
Once the three days had passed, the fog behind them turned murkier and impenetrable.
Even if anyone outside wanted to join Ethereal Peak, they could only wait for the next year by now.
Notwithstanding the 500 odd people waiting outside the stone gate, even the two children could not really conceal their fatigue after the three days as they stood there chatting idly.
“Senior brother, how many of these people do you think can get to join the sect?”
“Five at most.”
Through that vast forest, the sound of birds singing and running water was all around. As such, the discussion of the two children was almost like mosquito buzzing and no one could hear them.
However, the dozens of Qi Refinement Warriors looked terrible.
They had cultivated earnestly with some of them even at Level 9 Qi Condensation. If they were to die here just because they wanted to join a sect…
Su Zimo glanced sideways.
The purple robed haughty man still had his eyes closed as though he was indifferent to what the two children had said.
The white bloused woman maintained her cold expression with an unyielding gaze that seemed to be frozen.
The little fatty among the crowd was still laughing and looking nonchalant.
“Come, the first person,” The skinny child raised his hand and indicated for the first person to enter the stone gate.
It was a Level 7 Qi Refinement Warrior.
The man was somewhat nervous as he paused before the stone gate. Bowing to the two children, he smiled and asked, “Fellow Daoists, can an ordinary spirit root work? Is there any leeway?”
The two children shook their heads.
Sighing, the man walked towards the stone gate.
The moment he reached the stone gate, a water barrier appeared across it with four shimmering lights.
Four elements – it was an ordinary spirit root!
The man tried his best to barge through the stone gate but he was blocked by the water barrier. In the blink of an eye, he was bounced back from it.
Failure!
The fat child looked apologetic as he nodded to the man before raising his voice to the crowd, “Next.”
