Chapter 462 Entrance Exam

Sky Bless City was in a quiet state of peace. These slow days were quite normal despite being a first-rate city containing multiple powerful organizations.

The only significant change was the emergence of two powerful, genius figures who already made their first step toward planting history within the city. But other than that, nothing huge shifted in other organizations' power.

That is, until today.

When several weeks had finally passed, a huge change gathered everyone's attention within the city.

A potent pulse of not Divine Essence, World Source Laws, or any other kind of energy. But a mere pulse of a presence covered the entire range of Sky Bless City. It was faint and only lasted for a second.

But that second was long enough to not only alert the regular citizens but also the senior cultivators and old masters.

Through their Divine Senses, everyone could detect exactly where that presence suddenly came from. Eyes gathered to the skies, and they witnessed a breathtaking sight.

"Ah! It's finally happening..." The young cultivators felt their blood boil at this sight.

A rather special celestial mountain suddenly appeared and majestically floated faintly above all other sects and martial families.

The appearance of the celestial mountain was only a bit special. Anyone could obverse numerous faint white clouds trailing all around the long celestial mountains, each cloud has a slightly different shape from one other.

With such an abundance of clouds, it nearly created a mysterious yet enchanting mist around the celestial mountain.

But just this wouldn't be enough to grab citizens' attention. No, the true draw was the overwhelming aura sensation that swept through every corner of Sky Bless City!

The pulse of that overwhelming presence from before had returned in full force. It manifested into an unfathomable aura that can seemingly cover the skies, cover the heavens themselves.

Covering the massive size of Sky Bless City was effortless from the Celestial mountain.

One must not forget that Sky Bless City is at least tens of thousands of miles long and wide. The ability to have an aura engulfed this kind of distance simply couldn't be the work of a Divine Ruler or even a Holy King. Those masters' Dao Laws may be powerful, profound, and complex, but haven't yet reached an overwhelming degree.

The mysterious aura rippling from the celestial mountain was the equivalent of engulfing an entire planet with one's energy!

To reach this kind of level of energy, a person's cultivation mastery must be extremely high. Thus, the celestial mountain work could only be due to the Dao Laws of at least a Primal Sovereign master!

The aura sensation itself provided all citizens with a light, refreshing feeling that soothed weaker cultivators' souls.

For numerous Divine Origin and Great Divine Sea cultivators, they felt as if they were suddenly placed into a fantastical dream, walking upon the skies free of all worries.

The occasional Divine Star expert roaming the streets genuinely felt the tension hidden within their bodies exude right out of them. Their powerful souls couldn't resist the method of the celestial mountain.

"I can feel it...ah, it feels like the cloud in my mind suddenly became clearer!" "A Holy Land truly is a Holy Land. Just this much can benefit us all!"

Some cultivators outright assimilated into a meditative state. Their Divine Sense could detect the mysterious Law principles within the mysterious aura, allowing them to faintly come upon a realization of their own Laws.

This was the majestic prowess of grandmaster cultivators. With just simple moves, can they bless all those weaker than them.

As the celestial mountain's aura affected nearly everyone, people, whether cultivators or World Spirit Masters, gathered towards the celestial mountain to witness a great event.

Eyes started to gloss over in excitement, as there wasn't a single person who couldn't identify the appearance of the misty celestial mountain.

"The Cloudsea's entrance exams are finally about to start! I wonder just what kind of talents will appear this time?"

A group of cultivators from the same sect began to fervently discuss among themselves.

"You know, there has been quite a large boom of very special geniuses. From so many second-rates and even first-rate sects! One name I keep hearing about is Ren Bao. He's just from a second-rate sect, but his prestige surpasses all those from first-rates. I heard not only does he has a Quasi-Saint energy source in his Inner World but he's also an absolute prodigy with Fire Laws. People compare him to core-ranking disciples already in a Holy Land."

"Not just him, that terrifying Fu Fan is making equal waves. He also has a Quasi-Saint source in his Inner World and there hasn't been a single opponent of his that can break, or even survive his Earth Laws. This guy may be the biggest contender in this competition, despite his...odd personality."

"Ah, those two are good, but my money is on Ji Yan. She's absolutely more fierce than the other two. I think in all fights she was in, no opponent survived more than two minutes! Her Inner World source is just as powerful as Ren Bao, and her Water Laws are unmatched. She may end up taking it all this competition."

Because of recording rings, others can be faintly aware of special geniuses' supreme abilities. Even if that genius didn't show everything in battle, their fame would still be enough to alert others.

The mere fact that these three geniuses all have Quasi-Saint energy sources was enough to put them in the limelight of the whole city.

Any and all Quasi-Saint energy sources are bred from special environments where the World Source Laws and Heaven and Earth's Divine Essence are densely packed. Furthermore, after enough time, these energy sources will begin to evolve into a special kind of life. One that can emulate the souls and consciousness of intelligent beings.

At this stage of a Quasi-Saint energy source life, the power contained within them is not only immense but also self-regenerating! Even if it lost nearly all of it's energy reserves, the Quasi-Saint energy source would be back to full charge in no time.

With how special these energy sources are, wanting to absorb and fuse them into one's Inner World is an immense challenge.

A cultivator's comprehension abilities must be at immensely high levels. Their attainments in both the Source Law and Heaven and Earth's path cannot be low. In fact, it needs to be greater than most other geniuses.

It was only natural that Ren Bao, Fan Fu, and Jin Ya would be counted as the extreme geniuses among first-rate sects.

"With the high failure rate of these entrance exams, we may see a huge miracle from either one of them. I doubt any other geniuses can possibly match them." One of the youths spoke rather confidently.

At this moment, while the group was discussing their favorites, one of the cultivators had a slightly strange expression.

He suddenly said, "You all are talking as if Lee and Xun won't also participate in this exam. I mean...with how Lee already causally killed off a prime genius without any consequences, we may just see a clean sweep."

All cultivators within the group briefly paused before shaking their heads. One of them replied, "I think it is just best to not count them at all. They might as well be freaks of cultivation rather than special geniuses. Ren Bao is in the Early Stage Divine Star, yet even he is inferior to Lee. The comparison is just too unfair."

At this point, special geniuses, even ones who are invincible within the same minor realm, found it hard to compare with Emperor Tier Lee. Broad as a chasm, the gap seems almost impossible to ever cross.

Moreover, because of Jiang Ling's appearance, many thought the duo even have some sort of ties with a Divine Decree Lord!

Comparing those two, whether it's in talent or background, genuinely does seem unfair.

Several minutes had already passed since the misty celestial mountain had appeared.

Finally, at this time, a second change occurred within the skies.

All directed attention even further higher into the skies where a grand metropolis majestically floated within the skies.

Cloudsea's sect branch stayed at a faint higher height than all other organizations, but not too high. Below the visible sect branch laid a vast moat of clouds. This moat of clouds acted as the barrier to prevent any unwelcome guests from causally sauntering in.

Even Holy King masters would find it impossible to move past this cloud barrier.

Typically, it would be a bit difficult to even spot the regular Cloudsea's sect branch because of the cloud barrier. But for today, because of the entrance exam, it became visible on everyone's radar.

At this time, several meters below the moat of cloud barrier, an ancient-looking tower that could captivate the soul had suddenly appeared.

The ancient tower wasn't too big to be an overly massive size. But it also could cast a daunting shadow over Sky Bless City for a couple of hundred meters.

The appearance of the ancient tower caused a significant change in the city.

While others became increasingly eager for proceeding events, numerous other cultivators turn into streaks of lights as they soared directly toward the misty celestial mountain.

All those flying were inspiring youths with their own goals and ambitions. Though this would be a test of a Holy Land, these young geniuses had the fortitude to barrel straight ahead.

Some of these young cultivators were even ones who had previously failed the entrance exams. Yet failure didn't cause their determination to waver.

Not everyone was excited to see these youths go up, however. A couple of people specifically had cold gazes while watching Cloudsea's entrance exams start.
