The Sword Pavilion Is Full of Human Cultivators!

[Sword Dao Supreme: Innately possessed extreme comprehension of the Sword Dao and a unique understanding of it. When paired with a Sword Dao Cultivation Method, it can achieve a hundredfold result with half the effort!]

"Another Red Talent?"

"And this time it's Sword Dao Supreme?"

"Good, good, good! So that's how we're playing it—black once, white once!"

Su Ming recalled the Business Prodigy he had drawn in the previous simulation. It could not be said to have been completely useless; it could only be said that its use had been minimal.

This Sword Dao Supreme, paired with his Great Void Sword Art, was simply perfect.

[Having obtained Sword Dao Supreme, you immediately began cultivating the Great Void Sword Art!]

[One year later, you successfully cultivated the Great Void Sword Art from the beginner stage to minor accomplishment.]

[At the same time, you also cultivated Great Void Sword Intent!]

[When Ye Chuxue saw you emerge after a year of secluded cultivation, your cultivation had become even more profound, while streams of sword intent swirled around your body.]

[At this time, you also noticed Ye Chuxue. After you gave her a great amount of resources, she broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm within a year.]

["You broke through? Do you know the truth now?"]

[Ye Chuxue looked at you with complicated eyes. She had never expected the truth of this world to be so dark.]

["What should we do next? Qingyun Sect has already put out warrants for us across all of Qingzhou!"]

[Ye Chuxue regarded you as her current pillar of support and began asking about your plans going forward.]

[You told her to cultivate in Desolate Village for the time being. You would be leaving on a long journey, one that might take as little as one or two years, or as long as three to five.]

[Before leaving, you told her to break through to Foundation Establishment Great Perfection as much as possible before you returned. Then, you would take her to the Immortal Falling Secret Realm to break through.]

[Ye Chuxue naturally knew what kind of place the Immortal Falling Secret Realm was, so she nodded in agreement without any hesitation.]

[You left Ye Chuxue with a large quantity of resources plundered from Qingyun Sect, while you headed toward Youzhou.]

[This time, you intended to leave Qingzhou and see what the situation was like in other provinces.]

[Based on the information you currently had about the Canglan Realm, you had no idea what the real 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-tier powers: Pill Sect, Sword Pavilion, Yin Yang Sect, and Feather Ascension Sect.]

[Meanwhile, Youzhou's forbidden land was, just like Qingzhou's, the Immortal Falling Secret Realm within the Sky Abyss at the border with Qingzhou!]

[Your main purpose in coming to Youzhou this time was to seize cultivation resources.]

[Qingzhou was now filled with warrants for your arrest, making it somewhat difficult for you to infiltrate Myriad Devil Sect and Wind Thunder Sect again.]

[The first faction you came to was Sword Pavilion!]

[With the Sword Dao Supreme talent, you were naturally fond of Sword Pavilion.]

[You concealed your cultivation at the ninth level of Qi Refinement, then came to Sword Pavilion to register, intending to join it.]

[However, when you arrived at Heaven Sword Mountain, the site of Sword Pavilion, you found it packed with people, crowded with those who had come to apply.]

[At the same time, you overheard all sorts of discussions about Sword Pavilion from the people around you.]

["For this round of Sword Pavilion disciple recruitment, how many people do you think will successfully join Sword Pavilion?"]

["Hard to say. No one has successfully joined Sword Pavilion in three years."]

["Sigh! Sword Pavilion's recruitment requirements are truly too high. But I hear that the benefits for every disciple who successfully joins are especially good—the cultivation resources are several times those of other sects!"]

["Isn't that obvious? Take a look at how many disciples Sword Pavilion has from top to bottom!"]

["Although Sword Pavilion has few disciples, every one of them can fight ten opponents alone!"]

[Listening to the discussions around you, you gained a general understanding of Sword Pavilion's basic situation.]

[What surprised you was that Sword Pavilion recruited disciples every year, yet not a single disciple had been successfully accepted in thirty years.]

[You did not understand what Sword Pavilion was thinking. Its standards for accepting disciples were actually this strict.]

[In your view, this completely did not fit the recruitment style of a major sect.]

[Although one had to admit that Sword Pavilion's benefits were excellent, its outrageously high threshold made people stop in their tracks.]

[Three hours later, it was finally your turn.]

[The person in charge of the assessment led you before a stone stele and gave you the time it took for half an incense stick to burn to comprehend it on your own.]

[As for what you were supposed to comprehend, he did not say. He simply left, abandoning you there alone.]

[You glanced at the assessor beside you and asked what this assessment was about.]

[The other party gave you an impatient look.]

["You're asking me what it is? I'd like to ask you what it is too!"]

["Sword Pavilion's assessments have always been like this. Those who fail even think Sword Pavilion is fooling with them, using a broken stone to assess them."]

[Seeing this, you stopped asking questions and closed your eyes to sense the stone stele before you.]

[The next second, you sensed a faint sword intent from the stone stele!]

[Buzz, buzz, buzz!]

[The stone stele soon began to tremble, and the sword intent upon it resonated with yours.]

[The disciple overseeing the assessment, who had only just left, instantly appeared at your side and stared at you in shock.]

[He had never expected that the assessment had only just begun, yet you had already directly communicated with the sword intent on the stone stele. This was something the Sword Pavilion had never encountered since its founding.]

["Congratulations, you have passed the assessment! Come with me!"]

[The young man led you away from the assessment grounds under everyone's astonished gazes.]

[Before long, you were brought into a grand hall.]

[The young man spoke to the empty hall.]

["Pavilion Master! This is the only disciple to pass the assessment this year, and moreover..."]

[At this point, the young man gave you a deep look before continuing.]

["Moreover, he passed the assessment extremely quickly, using only a few breaths."]

[The moment his words fell, you felt an intense sword intent rush straight at you. The Great Void Sword Intent within your body could not help but want to resist it.]

[Fortunately, that sword intent came swiftly and vanished just as swiftly.]

[You successfully suppressed the Great Void Sword Intent that was about to erupt within you.]

[An old man with white hair appeared before you and examined you from head to toe.]

["A prodigy of the sword path! Heaven blesses my Sword Pavilion!"]

["Lin Tian, you may leave for now!"]

[After the Sword Pavilion Master dismissed Lin Tian, who had brought you here, he gave you a meaningful look.]

["You're not at the ninth level of Qi Refinement, are you?"]

[The moment those words were spoken, stormy waves rose in your heart.]

[You had not expected your Concealment Technique to be utterly useless before the white-haired old man.]

[Just as you were preparing to use the Great Void Technique to escape, the white-haired old man's next words shocked you once more.]

["Don't worry! There are no Sinister Worms in the Sword Pavilion. Everyone here is a normal human!"]

"What? Everyone in the Sword Pavilion is a normal human?"

Seeing this, Su Ming was startled by what was before him.

In the present-day Canglan Realm, there was actually a cultivation faction composed solely of humans.

And it was such an openly visible faction. Su Ming had never imagined such a thing, not even in death.

He could not understand how they had survived safely for so many years, nor how they ensured that every disciple was an Awakened One.

Assessment???
