The hush that had fallen over the room was soon broken by the astonished gasps and shouts of the other leaders who were present. They were in a state of disbelief, unable to comprehend the information that had just been revealed
" Hey, did I hear right, did he just say that a cultivator of the 2nd stage of the Golden Core Realm is participating in the sect entrance exam?" asked one of the elders as he thought he was hearing something that came out of the fiction
" No, you did not hear wrong, he did indeed say that a 2nd stage of the Golden Realm Cultivator is here" the sect leader said in a calm voice
The supreme elder, however, was not so easily convinced. He turned to the voice emanating from the token and asked" Are you absolutely absolutely sure of what you said ?" asked the supreme elder towards the voice coming from the token
" Y-Yes, elder" the voice nervously replied which caused them to suck a breath of cold air
" Even if that is the case, doesn't it mean she is as strong as the Supreme elder?" one of the elders said while gulping a mouthful of saliva
" You guys do not have to worry, did you forget that our sect leader is at the peak of Golden Core Realm, and even if she is at the same level as me it is not certain I will lose to her because other factors also come in play like the power of techniques, combat experience etc" the supreme elder assured them which caused them to sigh a breath of relief
" Leader, can she be a spy from the other sect?" asked one of the elders
" No, it's impossible as the royal family has prohibited espionage on each other's sect due to the competition " the sect leader replied calmly which caused everyone to loosen their tense muscles
" All right, you keep attending the Cultivators and you said there was another one ,right?" the sect leader asked
" Y-Yes" a stuttering reply came
" You don't need to worry, I will monitor him through the array " the sect leader said calm voice as a white screen arrived on top of their table showing a young man entering the wooden building
Inside the wooden building
Wang Ming casually entered the building while his eyes were roaming around the interior, then his eyes landed on two extremely nervous cultivators, one man and one woman who were wearing the robes of the elders of the sect
" Are you Wang Ming?" the woman asked while hiding the nervous look on her face
" Hmm, you know me ?" Wang Ming asked while smirking when he saw the trace of fear in their eyes
' Calm down, Calm down, maybe he is not as talented as the other women' the man thought in his mind that Wang Ming might not be as powerful as Shi Yu and Bai Lingxi but reality was going to slap him in the face
" Place your hand on the orb and channel your spiritual energy into it" the woman instructed and Wang Ming followed
After what seemed like an eternity, the token displayed the results of Wang Ming's cultivation. The man and woman leaned in to examine the token with trembling hands and baited breath, but their expressions soon turned pale as they realized the extent of Wang Ming's power
< Cultivation Level: 8th Stage of the Golden Core Realm >
The elders were completely frozen in place when they saw the Cultivation level that was displayed on the token
' Heaven's how old is he?? How can he have such a high Cultivation Level being this young' the man cried out internally as he was having trouble comprehending the situation
Suddenly the man and woman snapped out of their daze when they felt their communication token vibrating and heard the voice of their leader inside their heads
' Listen to me, remain calm, even if he is at the 8th stage of the Golden Core Realm I am still at the peak stage of the same rank and am close to advancing to the next realm, moreover, he might not be an enemy and this might be a blessing in disguise for our sect to win the competition, so act normally' the sect leader voice rang inside their mind and the heavy weight weighing their shoulders finally lifted and the calmness reappeared on their face
' Hmm, looks like someone is speaking to them from inside their mind' Wang Ming speculated when he saw the nervousness on their face being replaced by a calm expression
' Give him the disciple the token for the next round' the sect leader's voice said in their minds and a look of surprise appeared on their face
' Eh? leader does he still need to even participate in the next round? I mean just by his cultivation he is more than capable of defeating every disciple in the sect, shouldn't he be allowed to skip the test?' the woman asked inside her mind
' Hmm, you would be right in normal cases but I want to check the techniques he can use and his combat experience, someone like him should have powerful techniques with him and moreover, if he wants to be a Dual Cultivator which I am sure he will because he brought his partners, we need to check if he can satisfy his partner in bed through the round involving the massage, I am sure many female cultivators will flock to become his partner after they learn about his Cultivation because the Yang Qi of such powerful cultivator would greatly aid the female disciples in their Cultivation' the sect leader explained to which the woman nodded her head in agreement and looked at Wang Ming who was observing their expression
" Wang Ming you passed, please take this token which proves you have passed the first round, and wait near the teleportation array, after the first round is over we will proceed with the second round" the woman said as he tossed the token towards Wang Ming
Wang Ming caught the token and walked out of the building without saying a word
The man and woman watched Wang Ming's retreating figure, their minds still reeling from the shock of his incredible cultivation level. "I can't believe it, an 8th-stage Golden Core cultivator at such a young age," the man murmured to himself.
The woman nodded, "It's truly remarkable. And the sect leader was right, if he's interested in dual cultivation, he'll be highly sought after he joins the sect and he will be a valuable asset to the sect."
As they watched Wang Ming disappear from sight, the woman couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy. She had been cultivating for decades and had only recently entered the Core Formation realm. It was a reminder of how much hard work and dedication it took to reach the pinnacle of cultivation
Meanwhile, Wang Ming walked outside and met up with Shi Yu and Bai Lingxi who were waiting for him
" So, did you shock the hell out of them?" Bai Lingxi asked with a mischievous smirk on her face
" Yeah, they were nervous even before I entered, Shi Yu and me being Golden Stage Cultivators truly terrified them" Wang Ming replied with a smirk
" ~ Hehe looks like you need to help me also become a Godlen Stage Cultivator soon~" Bai Lingxi spoke in a sultry tone while licking her lips seductively
" Yeah, you are right my dear Linxgi, I will help you by ravaging your inside soon" Wang Ming spoke with eyes filled with obsession and lust which caused a shiver to run down Bai Lingxi's spine as she smiled happily when she Wang Ming's empty eyes
" Alright, now let's head towards the teleportation array" Shi Yu said to bring them out of their daze as she was afraid that they would forget about the test and start Dual Cultivating right now
Later Wang Ming, Bai Lingxi, and Shi Yu arrived in front of the array. As they approached the teleportation array, they could notice a circular platform made of smooth, black marble, about 10 feet in diameter. Etched into the marble were intricate, glowing symbols that seem to shift and pulsate
At the center of the platform, there was a small circular pedestal, also made of the same material, which had more glowing symbols etched on it. The pedestal looked like it was the key to activating the array
All the Cultiavotrs who had passed the first round were currently standing in front of the array
Finally after waiting for some time a man wearing the robes of an elder who had previously explained the rules of the test arrived, his eyes would occasionally shift toward the Wang Ming, Shi Yu, and Bai Lingxi's direction
" Everyone congratulations, you all have passed the first round of the exam and the second round will commence now, please step on top of the array and you will be soon teleported to the examination site of the second round" the man instructed and everyone stood on top of the array, soon the array started glowing and everyone disappeared from the place
