Four Sages Test the Foundation.
What was the foundation?
Divine powers and cultivation, magical treasures and artifacts, innate aptitude and comprehension, natural talent and background, luck and blessings—all were foundations.
In the end, the Four Sages Test the Foundation did not test the answer to some riddle. It tested whether the prodigies of the myriad races possessed such an opportunity.
Those with profound cultivation and mighty divine powers could naturally pass; those with formidable magical treasures and numerous artifacts could also pass; those with extraordinary comprehension and outstanding talent could likewise pass.
As for the rest, those with extraordinary backgrounds and deep reserves of luck and blessings could also clear the trial smoothly.
The first trial of this Fruit Position Dharma Banquet had no overly profound puzzle, nor any special test. There were simply too many people from All Heavens and Myriad Worlds, and the Heavenly Court intended to eliminate some of them.
It was that simple.
Those eliminated possessed neither cultivation nor magical treasures, neither background nor divine powers, and even their luck and blessings were not deep enough. Being eliminated early was not a bad thing for them. At the very least, they would not have to fight to the death against the true prodigies, Dao heirs, and old monsters of All Heavens and Myriad Worlds.
In truth, the purpose of the first six trials in this contest for Fruit Positions was to screen out the great number whose strength was lacking and whose luck was insufficient, selecting those who truly possessed great luck, great fortune, and great divine powers for the Golden Palace Heavenly Emperor to choose and employ.
As for those with status and backing, they would at least reach the sixth trial. Though this Fruit Position contest appeared to be watched only by the immortals,
