The Chosen

A month passed quickly.

Venerable Qingping was sitting on the mountainside of Immortal Gathering Peak, was awakened by the alarm clock. After a long breath, he slowly opened his eyes. A clear and moist immortal aura swirled between his seven orifices and disappeared into his mouth and nose as the Jade Clarity Scripture Sutra finished its practice.

As he sensed the bottleneck at the Nascent Soul Third Layer becoming increasingly loose, Venerable Qingping couldn't help but smile.

As expected of Sixth Tier Spiritual Vein, he originally thought it would take at least ten years to advance, but based on the current progress, he estimated that he could save half the time.

If it weren't for the fact that he was needed to help Open Up Golden Core Domain at the end, Venerable Qingping would have liked to just sit on the mountainside of Immortal Gathering Peak.

As he got up to descend the mountain, Venerable Qingping looked up at the summit.

The main body of the Realm Gate is on top; hopefully, it only needs to be activated once.

Thinking this, Venerable Qingping landed in front of the row of wooden houses at the foot of the mountain, and the three Golden Core True Person who were stationed there came over to pay their respects to him.

"How's it going?"

"It's almost time, everything is as usual."

As long as there are no unexpected situations, Venerable Qingping nodded after listening, then looked at his watch. There was exactly one minute left; he had timed it perfectly.

"That's fine. Those who haven't grasped the Void Power can come out now."

When the time came, Chen Mobai inside the wooden house heard Venerable Qingping's voice from outside. He felt his Spiritual Sense had returned to its peak state and couldn't help but nod.

Next comes the final and most crucial step.

"Sigh, what exactly is this Void Power?"

"I sat in meditation for a month, but I just felt like I was in a daze."

The Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer who had emerged from the wooden hut began to chat in twos and threes. Many of them shook their heads and sighed, feeling resentful that they couldn't even pass the first hurdle.

But the facts were right in front of them, and no matter how unwilling they were, they had no choice but to accept them.

"I thought I was exceptionally talented, but I just lacked the resources of the Daoist Academy. The opening of the Realm Gate this time has dealt me a heavy blow."

A Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer from an academy, looking utterly disheartened, lowered his head and was about to turn and leave.

"No one should wander around Five Peaks Immortal Mountain. We will arrange for you to leave once the results are out."

A Golden Core True Person from the World Gate Administration saw this and immediately called out to him, then ordered everyone who had come out of the wooden house to gather in front of him.

"Junior Brother Zuoqiu, even you haven't grasped the Void Power?"

Among the people queuing, the students from the Wuqi Dao Academy naturally walked together. One of them saw Zuoqiu Shi and couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

You should know that he was once the Chief of the Dao Academy, and nominally the most talented and powerful person in the Dao Academy at that time.

"On the fourteenth day, I barely managed to comprehend it, but in the end I only managed to shatter six fragments. This achievement is definitely not enough to Open Up Golden Core Domain."

Zuoqiu Shi sighed and shook his head, indicating that he had fallen too far behind in the first step, so he decided not to waste any more time and just come out first.

"Junior Brother Chen, Junior Brother Zhongli, and Senior Sister Bian are still inside. I wonder how many clusters of Void Power they have condensed."

The people from the Wuqi Dao Academy took a headcount and found that three people had not yet come out of the wooden house, which made them start to discuss it.

"Senior Sister Bian is probably out of the question, but Junior Brother Zhongli has about a 20-30% chance, and Junior Brother Chen..."

Having thoroughly investigated the matter, Zuoqiu Shi pondered for a while before expressing his thoughts.

Although he was initially very confident about Chen Mobai, after personally experiencing the difficulty of comprehending and shattering the void, he dared not make any guarantees.

"Junior Brother Chen has the Potential for Spirit Transmutation; there should be a 60-70% chance."

Everyone shared Zuoqiu Shi's thoughts; after experiencing it firsthand, they all felt that Open Up Golden Core Domain was extremely difficult.

The first stage eliminated most of them, and those who were able to enter the second stage, shattering the void, were all outstanding individuals like Zuoqiu Shi.

Fortunately, a Nascent Soul cultivator intervened in the third trial, and the Realm Gate, a supreme treasure, was used as the main force. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Foundation Establishment Cultivator to accomplish this.

"The others in the wooden house send the Void Power they control into the Realm Gate. Those who meet the requirements for opening Realm Domain will be selected by the Realm Gate."

At this moment, Venerable Qingping spoke again.

Everyone stopped talking and looked at the silver gate in the sky that had cracked open the void.

Then they saw strands of silver light rise from the roof of the wooden house and extend into the darkness inside the silver door.

Among these, many of the silver threads were only a wisp the length of a finger, disappearing silently after entering the Realm Gate.

Some are one meter long, and some are two meters long.

Like streaks of silver light flashing across the daytime sky, like a meteor shower, it was incredibly dazzling and beautiful.

Zuoqiu Shi also saw a silver light shining from his own wooden house.

That was the Void Power after he shattered, but without his control, it turned into a silver mist and disappeared after being absorbed by the Realm Gate.

About fifteen minutes later, most of the silver beams disappeared into the Realm Gate without causing any sound or fluctuation.

The remaining seven or eight strands formed a complete silk thread, connecting the silver gate and the wooden house, like the string of a kite.

"Wenren Xuewei, Taishi Shu, Chen Mobai, Ling Dao Shi, Sect Son, Zhongli Tianyu, Tang Yinxia, Meng Shulong."

Soon, another Golden Core True Person had witnessed everyone entering the wooden house told Venerable Qingping the names of those who were still persisting.

"Not bad, the quality of this group is much better than the one I started before. Back then, there were only three people left by this time."

Venerable Qingping glanced at the remaining silver threads of light and nodded in satisfaction.

This means that the Immortal Sect is becoming stronger and stronger in the future, which makes him very gratified.

"Hopefully, besides Wenren Xuewei, there will be a second person who can Open Up Golden Core Domain."

The Golden Core True Person named everyone was Xue Yuzhuo, the director of the World Gate Administration. He was present almost every time the Realm Gate opened, and he immediately noticed that the silver light threads of three of them were already at their limit and would break and disappear soon.

"I think Taishi Shu will succeed, after all, she has mastered the Primordial Magnetic Force of the Six Imperial Scripture."

Another Deputy Director of the World Gate Administration, Chen Zhaohua, spoke up. He was a graduate of the Kunpeng Daoist Academy and naturally offered his full support to the younger generation.

"Where's Chen Mobai from the Wuqi Dao Academy? Isn't he the most famous one?"

Venerable Qingping spoke up, for even he had heard of this Potential for Spirit Transmutation.

Unfortunately, of all the brilliant geniuses in the history of the Immortal Sect, only one in ten were able to Dao Attainment.

Moreover, he was merely a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so the upper echelons maintained a wait-and-see attitude towards Chen Mobai.

After all, according to common sense, he would have to wait another sixty years to Core Formation.

Over such a long period of time, one might simply fade into obscurity.

"That one is his; it looks just as good as Taishi Shu's."

Xue Yuzhuo pointed to Chen Mobai's wooden house, and after observing it carefully, he couldn't help but marvel.

"After all, he has the Potential for Spirit Transmutation, so he should be able to shatter at least twenty Void Fragments."

Although the strength of Spiritual Sense varies from person to person, even if the talents of cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer differ greatly, the fluctuation will be within a range of one-fold.

The limit for this type of cultivator is being able to shatter about twenty Void Fragments.

After Core Formation, Spiritual Sense will increase by four or five times due to the breakthrough in the Major Realm, so basically Golden Core True Person can pass this test.

Of course, there are very few exceptions where people fail to Open Up Golden Core Domain even after Core Formation. These are due to insufficient Xiantian Spiritual Sense strength or the body's constitution being incompatible with the Void Power.

Conversely, those who pass this hurdle at the Foundation Establishment Realm include those whose physique is compatible with the void and who are extremely rare Void Spirit Body; those with extremely powerful Spiritual Sense; and those who have specially cultivated techniques that can target space.

The most famous is the Six Imperial Scripture.

"There are only five people left."

While they were chatting, three of the eight silver light threads could no longer hold on and broke their connection with the Realm Gate.

Inside the wooden house, Sect Son, Tang Yinxia, and Meng Shulong sighed with somber expressions.

"I didn't expect Zhongli Tianyu to be able to hold on for so long?"

The speaker was Bian Jingchun. She had only condensed twelve clusters of Void Power, and she had no regrets after the failure.

Since she had no expectations of success for herself, she quickly tidied herself up, left her wooden house, and met up with Zuoqiu Shi and the others.

"That's the end of it."

Just as Bian Jingchun finished speaking, Zuoqiu Shi saw Zhongli Tianyu's silver light thread flicker a few times before it couldn't hold on any longer, lost its source, and disappeared into the Realm Gate.

About two minutes later, Zhongli Tianyu walked out with a resentful look on his face.

He specially cultivated a powerful Spiritual Sense technique, condensing a total of thirty clusters of Void Power, but unexpectedly, he still couldn't meet the minimum requirements to trigger the Realm Gate.

"It's okay, you've already done a great job."

Seeing Zhongli Tianyu's state, Bian Jingchun comforted him as an older sister, but he remained silent, looking up at the last three silver rays of light.

Ling Dao Shi also failed, and came out with a frown and a gloomy face.

He collected all the written materials and experiences of the Immortal Sect related to the Void Power, and used the Square Inch Book to create a personality for himself that could shatter the void with the highest efficiency. He also prepared three pills to restore his Spiritual Sense, but even so, he still failed.

How many clusters of Void Power are needed to Open Up Golden Core Domain?

Just as Ling Dao Shi was speechless, Venerable Qingping and the others also looked surprised.

"In the past, if we relaxed the requirements a little, the two of them could have been selected by the Realm Gate."

Xue Yuzhuo said with a regretful expression, "I graduated from the Sky Mending Dao Academy and I really hope that Ling Dao Shi can succeed."

Unfortunately, with the cultivation level of a Nascent Soul cultivator, he can only help two or three people Open Up Golden Core Domain at most, so this level is actually a selection system.

The more condensed Void Power cultivator possesses, the more likely they are to pass the test.

That is why no one can say how much Void Power can guarantee passing the test, and the World Gate Administration will not make any guarantees during the class.

This year, due to the outstanding quality of all the Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Zhongli Tianyu and Ling Dao Shi, who could have barely passed, were also eliminated.

"Wenren Xuewei has the foundation of Evergreen Technique, so there's definitely no problem with that. Taishi Shu only mastered the Yang Section of the Six Imperial Scripture, but I didn't expect her to be able to do this much. Her Primordial Magnetic Force is truly amazing. And Chen Mobai can keep up with the two of them just by relying on his own Spiritual Sense. He truly deserves to be called Potential for Spirit Transmutation."

Looking at the last three bright, pristine silver strands, Xue Yuzhuo couldn't help but sigh, "The Yangtze River's waves push the old waves forward, and a new generation surpasses the old."

"Strange, it feels like Taishi Shu is about to give up."

At this moment, Venerable Qingping noticed something amiss first. Just as he finished speaking, one of the silver threads of light flickered and broke its connection with the wooden house, dragging a long tail as it was sucked straight into the Realm Gate.

The crowd looked on in shock.

Although I knew that Chen Mobai was very powerful in Spell Duel and was undoubtedly the number one in the immortal Immortal Sect, I did not expect that he could also surpass Taishi Shu, who had cultivated the Primordial Magnetic Force, in terms of condensing the Void Power.

Is this the Potential for Spirit Transmutation?

But what shocked them even more was what happened next. Two minutes later, the silver thread representing Wenren Xuewei also disappeared.

"They actually... surpassed Golden Core True Person!"

Everyone who saw this scene widened their eyes and gasped.

Although Evergreen Technique excels at health preservation and longevity, its enhancement to Spiritual Sense is only average, but this average is relative to other Spirit Transmutation Cultivation Technique.

Chen Mobai's Pure Yang Scroll is only about the same as the Evergreen Technique in this respect, so his ability to overpower Wenren Xuewei can only prove that he possesses Void Spirit Body or has a naturally strong Spiritual Sense!

"Looks like this is going to be quite tiring."

Venerable Qingping glanced at the last, endless silver thread and couldn't help but smile wryly.

The final step is to Open Up Golden Core Domain, Realm Gate draws his spiritual power as fuel.

That is why only two or three people are selected at a time, because even a Nascent Soul cultivator would not be able to support more than that.

"Master, Taishi Shu's grades would have guaranteed her selection in any other year..."

As a graduate of the Kunpeng Daoist Academy, Chen Zhaohua saw the hesitation on Venerable Qingping's face and knew that he was planning to eliminate Taishi Shu. He gritted his teeth and spoke up for the younger generation.

"Let's see. If Chen Mobai doesn't have much Void Power, I'll go to the trouble of helping her Open Up Golden Core Domain as well."

As the most talkative Nascent Soul cultivator, Venerable Qingping also decided to give Kunpeng Daoist Academy a good word after hearing this.

However, being a cautious person, he did not immediately agree.

Soon, he was grateful for his composure.

Because Chen Mobai's condensed Void Power was excessively large, it took another eight minutes after Wenren Xuewei for the power to finally break free.

He alone is worth two of them.

"Please apologize to that kid from the Kunpeng Daoist Academy for me."

After careful consideration, Venerable Qingping had no choice but to eliminate Taishi Shu.

"Yes."

Chen Zhaohua, who had just recovered from the shock, nodded with a wry smile.

It can only be said that Taishi Shu was unlucky to encounter someone with the Potential for Spirit Transmutation like Chen Mobai.

Venerable Qingping made a hand seal, and two silver beams of light shone from the Realm Gate in the sky, enveloping Chen Mobai and Wenren Xuewei.

The three of them then disappeared from the spot.

"The opening of this Realm Gate has ended."

"The chosen ones Wenren Xuewei, a graduate of the Goumang Dao Academy, Chen Mobai, a graduate of the Wuqi Dao Academy!"

"The rest of you, come with us."

Inside the wooden house, Taishi Shu listened to the sounds coming from outside the door and sat there blankly.

Even now, she can't believe that she, who has condensed thirty-eight bundles of spatial power, has been eliminated!
