Chapter 632: Visualization

Chapter 632: Visualization

The preaching event soon resumed with great enthusiasm. An additional one hundred guests had joined the preaching participants in the middle of the meadow. These were the individual cultivators that had been selected by a wide lottery to participate in the Grand Dao Preaching Convention, to showcase their individual abilities and receive advice in return. They came from all kinds of backgrounds and all throughout the metropolis and nearby provinces. The only requirement to be chosen was that they were unrelated to an immortal sect.

These one hundred faces were all glowing with excitement and anticipation. It was amazing luck to be chosen. The chance was one in a billion if not more. Although they would not win any money or prizes, they had a chance to receive generous guidance from these young talents. That was far more precious than a few taels of gold.

In addition to the guests, an eye-catching contraption had been erected in the middle of the clearing between the two parties. It was a totem made out of a straight tree trunk. The color was dark red and it was carved with many fearsome faces of beasts and demons. It was over ten meters tall and gave off a strange mix of spiritual auras. This was the famous strength-testing totem, a specialty of the Forest District.

The announcer regained the crowds attention and began the event. One of the guests was chosen at random to go first. He was a slender man in his late forties with wispy gray hair. He wielded dual sabers and had a strong martial aura like that of a killer.

According to the procedure, the guest would first test his saber against the strength-testing totem. Next, the young geniuses of the metropolis could offer whatever advice they could think of. The guest would then immediately test out those theories against the totem to see which one was the most effective.

I am Two Moons, captain of the Two Moons Mercenary Group. The man stated and brandished two rather large crescent blades, Please guide me!

In response, the strength-testing totem glowed with spiritual power. The face of an eagle near the middle of totem suddenly surged forth, creating a phantom image of a soaring eagle using dull-red spiritual energy. This was the most suitable one for testing saber arts which focused on attack and cutting power above all else.

The mercenary named Two Moons furrowed his brow as he concentrated. He twirled his weapons around his body to gather energy and then leaped into the air. The might of a cultivator at the 5th Level of the Spirit Initiate Realm came crashing down.

"Kill!"

Ka!

There was a clash of spiritual energy and a flash of light.

Zhou Ziyun, on the other hand, was the polar opposite. She felt that she still lacked so much basic knowledge about the cultivation world but she had confidence in her comprehension. And she had an inkling that her comprehension ability was only getting better and better.

Throughout the entire morning, her spiritual energy limits were constantly being challenged as she used her mind. It was an almost addicting feeling. The more she used her mind, the better she felt.

In her spiritual sea, two saber blades had materialized and were fighting each other according to her will. On one side was the might of the Flying Dragon Saber Art while on the other was the mortal blade concocted by a mercenary out of their desperate imagination. The two seemed unequal but both attacked ferociously, with neither one winning out. They slashed apart the spiritual environment and created great shockwaves that washed over her. And with each clash, she could feel her strength slowly rising.

Nobody could see this scene except her. If they could, they would be astonished. Even Chen Wentian would have been left speechless. She was visualizing both sabers perfectly. Her recreation of that mercenary's saber art was flawless. It defied anything that could be understood by common sense or convention.

While Zhou Ziyun was lost in thought and cultivation, a participant finally stood up to the challenge to preach their Dao. The crowd roared to life as they realized who it was.

It was the prince, Prince Huang Yaoying!
