Chapter 121: Heavenly Origin Sect 2

Chapter 121: Heavenly Origin Sect 2In the expansive Heavenly Universe, the world housing the Heavenly Origin Sect was buzzing with energy. Voices filled the air from all directions as the trial within the Hundred-Tier Tower continued. One man exclaimed, "Look! Someone's cleared the 30th floor already!" Excited murmurs began to ripple around him.

"Why can't we watch the first 30 floors of the test?" another man asked curiously.

The man beside him, appearing more knowledgeable, replied, "Those floors are reserved for testing mental fortitude and character, the core principles of the Heavenly Origin Sect. They want to evaluate the candidates' integrity, dedication, and purity of heart. That's why floors 1 through 30 aren't viewable. We're allowed to observe only from floors 31 to 70. Beyond that, everything is classified. It's a strict policy of the sect—only those directly involved are permitted to watch."

The first man nodded appreciatively. "Thank you." But his gaze remained fixed on the colossal tower standing proudly against the sky.

Meanwhile, in the exclusive quarters of the sect's elders...

Bai Wei sat among the other elders, watching the trials closely. He turned to his assistant with a serious tone. "I want the trial records of participants numbered 1, 2, 3, 35, 15866, 549464... and 988621312—79 in total. Bring them to me immediately."

Moments later, Bai Wei's assistant returned with scrolls containing the requested participants' records, which detailed their unique physiques, origins, names, ages, and other basic information. As Bai Wei reviewed the data, his expression shifted dramatically in surprise.

"Call the Supreme Elder. I believe I've found the figures mentioned in the prophecy!" Bai Wei's voice was laced with excitement.

His declaration captured everyone's attention. One elder sitting nearby asked with anticipation, "Who are they?" Sёarch* The NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Bai Wei turned to the room and announced, "Numbers 1, 35, 549464, 3585652, and 988621312—I believe these five may be the ones foretold in the prophecy."

Upon hearing this, the room's attention riveted on the projections of the participants bearing those numbers. The trial in the Hundred-Tier Tower was reaching its most critical stage, and the elders began noticing extraordinary talents in these particular individuals.

Outside, the atmosphere around the Hundred-Tier Tower was filled with excitement. Conversations and cheers resonated as the audience focused intently on the remarkable participants.

"Look! Number 1, Tian Ling, the young master of the Celestial God Tian Clan, holds first place!" a man shouted, eliciting admiration from those around him.

"As expected of young master Tian Ling! A physique of the Celestial God is no joke!" a woman called out excitedly.

"With all my heart, I pledge myself to you, Tian Ling!" another woman declared passionately.

Another enthusiastic voice chimed in, "And look at second place—Feng Xian, the Divine Daughter of the Phoenix Clan! She's catching up with Tian Ling at lightning speed!"

Before the admiration subsided, someone mentioned another participant. "Check out third place! Chen Tong, the Divine Son of the Chen Clan! He's the strongest genius their clan has ever seen!"

Curious murmurs arose as the crowd speculated about the identities of the fourth and fifth contestants. "Who are the ones ranked fourth and fifth? I've never seen them before."

"They're rare prodigies from lesser-known forces," someone explained. "Talents like these show up in every trial."

At that moment, the top five participants were on the 65th, 64th, 64th, 63rd, and 60th floors, respectively. The crowd eagerly followed their progress, and soon, all five successfully passed the 70th floor in just 40 minutes.

In the special quarters of the Heavenly Origin Sect's elders...

The door opened as Supreme Elder Wen Su entered, accompanied by the second elder, Hong Xian, and the third elder, Ling Yu. As the three entered, everyone rose respectfully.

"Greetings, Supreme Elder Wen Su!" they chorused.

"Greetings, Second Elder Hong Xian!"

"Greetings, Third Elder Ling Yu!"

After acknowledging their greetings, Wen Su gestured for everyone to be at ease. Bai Wei handed him a scroll containing the data on the five participants, suspected to be the prophesied figures, along with other key information.

The Supreme Elder, Wen Su, opened the scroll and studied it with keen interest before casually tossing it to the second elder, Hong Xian, who caught it with a mildly exasperated look.

"Old man, can't you hand things over properly?" Hong Xian grumbled. "Are you still mad about that time I roasted your illusory crane? I've apologized, haven't I? What more do you want?"

Wen Su raised an eyebrow. "Hmph. I want a hundred Celestial God weapons and a billion top-grade celestial spirit stones."

Hong Xian muttered under her breath, "You're a bandit in old man's clothing."

Wen Su smirked slyly. "Next time, I'll go fishing for your Seven-Colored Snowfish instead, little brat."

Hong Xian glowered at him. "Keep talking, old man, and I might pluck out some of those gray hairs of yours!"

Before they could bicker further, the third elder, Ling Yu, interrupted calmly, "Someone has reached the 100th floor."

Everyone immediately turned their attention to the display. On the 100th floor, the test differed from the previous levels. Those who reached this floor were given the role of sect leader of the Heavenly Origin Sect and faced simulated crises of immense difficulty, designed to assess their strategic and leadership skills in guiding the sect to prosperity.
