Chapter 49: Blood of Divinity (Fourth Shift)
The night passed.
The sunlight in the early morning, though not as strong as it was at midday, was still domineeringly falling into the room along the windows.
It seems that no matter whether you are willing or unwilling, as long as you do not choose to hide under the eaves, then it will not allow you to object to fall on the ground, fall on your body.
With its temperature, it goes to wake up all the sleeping people.
Xu Qing, slowly opened his eyes.
Looking at the light outside the window, his body seemed to have absorbed the call from the sunlight, and as his qi and blood flowed with it, Xu Qing stood up.
After moving his body around for a bit he pushed open the door to his room and cautiously looked around, swaying away.
Within the city, after this dawn, everything was different from the night again.
Breakfast stores opened one after another, a large number of stores were like this, and the crowd slowly grew, but it was still cold and hurried, as if everyone was surviving under great pressure.
However, occasionally you can still hear the sound of children reading from within some of the high walls, which seems to represent this main city, where a certain amount of order still exists.
Walking through the streets, Xu Qing thought of a herb called Twin Flower that Grandmaster Park had introduced, a strange herb where light and darkness were symbiotic and inseparable.
"Perhaps, this is the norm in large cities?"
Youngsters tended to be quicker than adults when it came to accepting new things.
This point was well reflected in Xu Qing, and it wasn't long before he had accepted it all, simply eating breakfast and also inquiring about the timing of the initiation test.
For the matter of the initiation test, the people within the city seemed to be no strangers to it, and after knowing that the daily test was at noon with the location, Xu Qing spent the entire morning observing within this Seven Blood Pupils Main City, which was a habit of his.
And with the observation, Xu Qing also understood some of the structure of this main city, only that the time was too short, and this main city was too big, comparable to the size of tens of thousands of scavenger camps, and at the same time, quite a number of areas were inaccessible to non-Seven-Blooded Pupil disciples.
Therefore, it was difficult for him to observe all of them in a moment.
However, he did find a road leading to the city gates, and after identifying the buildings on the road, Xu Qing looked at the sky and headed towards the place he had spied out for the test.
The Seven Blood Pupils' entry test place was located at the southern edge of the city, at the foot of the Truth Mountain Range.
Even further south were the Seven Blood Pupils' seven giant peaks, and from afar, there were seven mountain paths snaking through the greenery, spreading across the different peaks.
Here, there is a huge square, at the moment the square is surrounded by a light curtain, blocking people from the outside world, only those who hold a token can step in.
When Xu Qing arrived, around this square, there were already dozens of people waiting, most of these people were 17 or 18 years old, some were dressed plainly or expensively, some were clean, and some were full of dirt like Xu Qing.
They were all people who had come from various places to participate in the test with their tokens.
In the center of the square, there were also three middle-aged cultivators standing there, and the fluctuation of spiritual energy on each of them had reached a terrifying level, stronger than the Vajra Sect Ancestor seemed to be.
They talked and laughed with each other while waiting for the testing time to begin, but from time to time, their gazes would fall on the disciples around them, seemingly weighing them up in their minds.
This scene made Xu Qing more and more cautious.
He wasn't good at socializing, so he silently looked for a place, not too far away from the crowd, nor too close, and as he stood there waiting, he also noticed that most of the people around him who were testing the same as himself possessed a certain level of cultivation themselves.
Especially inside a young man wearing a blue long shirt, he held a fan in his hand, his clothes are gorgeous at the same time, his appearance is also very handsome, raising his hands and laughing and talking, attracting the convergence of other testers around.
"It's good to popularize with everyone."
"The seven districts of the Seven Blood Pupil Main City are divided into seven peaks, and these seven peaks are all different from each other in what they specialize in, and thus have their own characteristics."
"For example, the Seventh Peak, which manages the harbor district, has great power and a very special gong method, so the disciples under its door have amazing battle power and travel far and wide all year round, keeping company with the forbidden sea."
"Another example is the first peak, such as the sharp sword of the sect, mostly practicing within the phoenix forbidden, so every one of them is a cold and incomparable battle cultivator, they seldom go out to the sea, mostly using the forbidden area as a tomb, killing there and falling there."
"These two peaks, is the flag of the seven blood pupil, every year want to worship into the people too much, but these two peaks collect disciples is very strict, not you choose it, but it chooses you, non-holding a specific token, can not enter."
"As for the other peaks, although also need a token, but it is a two-way choice, but anyone who passes the test can enroll, of which the sixth peak refinery, the fifth peak array Dao, the fourth peak beast mastery, the third peak art demonic, the second peak is good at Dan Dao."
"But no matter which peak to worship, in the absence of becoming a foundation, without ever having the right to the seven blood pupil gain, survival is very cruel, unless you are the core token owner ...... As for how cruel, when the test is passed, you yourselves can experience it."
The teenager smiled and introduced to the surrounding testers while also observing them, while Xu Qing, who was not far away, after hearing this, noticed the cruelty in the other party's words as well as the words seven blood pupil revenue rights, the former he could understand the literal meaning of, the latter he somewhat didn't understand, and his heart was full of doubts, but this moment was not the time to ponder over these.
He was now more interested in analyzing which peak was more suitable for him.
"I'm familiar with the forbidden zone ......" Xu Qing felt that the first peak, was suitable for him, but he also didn't know if his token, was qualified.
Just as he was pondering, a bell echoed from the seven peaks in the distance.
The three middle-aged cultivators within the square no longer laughed and talked with each other, but turned solemn.
One of them, swept a glance at the dozens of testers outside and spoke faintly.
"Silence!"
When his words came out, they were clearly not high, but in the ears of the crowd, it was like thunder roaring.
The blue-shirted teenager immediately withdrew his voice, and the others also tensed, looking towards the middle-aged cultivator who had spoken.
Xu Qing was calm on the side and looked up.
"Time for the test, there are three doors, those who pass all of them will be given one thousand contribution points, and those who rank first in the overall rankings will be rewarded even more, the first door to test is the alienation value in your bodies!"
"Now, one by one, come forward, submit your token, and report your name, no hiding, violators will be severely punished if found out!"
As the middle-aged cultivator opened his mouth, the blue-shirted teenager's eyes rolled, and he was the first to walk up to the square, submitting the token in his hand, and loudly spreading out his words.
"Disciple Zhou Qingpeng, pay my respects to senior."
His voice was loud and clear, falling into the ears of the three middle-aged cultivators, who nodded their heads.
The second person then stepped forward, and soon after there were still six of the remaining people, Xu Qing walked onto the square, respectfully submitting his token, and after hesitating for a moment, he spoke in a deep voice.
"Disciple Xu Qing, greetings to senior."
After finishing these words, Xu Qing was in a bit of a trance, he hadn't told anyone his name for a long, long time, to be precise, it had been almost seven years.
After finishing his words at this moment, Xu Qing bowed his head and silently stepped back.
The three middle-aged men swept their eyes over the token he had submitted, not paying too much attention to him.
Just like that, when all the testers had completed this session, the first door test, officially began.
This first door test was simple, as the middle-aged cultivator waved his hand, a green colored mountain stone with a height of ten feet, appeared out of thin air with a bang, and landed on the square, setting off a cloud of dust in all directions.
"In the order of just now, one by one, come and measure it, just press your hand on it."
Zhou Qingpeng immediately went up.
Xu Qing paid attention and saw that after the other party's hand was pressed onto the stone, the green-colored boulder immediately shone with light, and a pattern of a human body emerged on its surface.
In this pattern, more than forty points lit up.
"Forty-two points, not bad, pass." The middle-aged cultivator at the side nodded his head and called out to the next person.
Zhou Qingpeng was a little smug within his complexion, taking a few steps back to closely observe the others.
Soon, as the people tested one after another, Xu Qing could also see some clues.
The more points they had, the greater the alienation value in their bodies, and several of them exceeded a hundred, being evaluated as unqualified.
"I should be a no ......" Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, he didn't want to expose himself on the first day here without knowing anything about the situation, it wasn't in line with his character.
But being too mediocre might affect the clan's choices, so Xu Qing looked down at his own shadow in his contemplation, slowly and subtly manipulating a trace of it so that it would integrate into his body.
And as he continued to draw out his ectoplasm here, exclamations of surprise came from all around.
"Thirty-four points, excellent!" The middle-aged cultivator's voice transmitted a hint of fluctuation, and Xu Qing also immediately looked up to see that standing next to the green stone was a girl around his age.
The girl's clothes were similar to his, her face was dirty, and her status was clearly that of a scavenger as well.
She seemed to be nervous, her head was lowered and she didn't dare to look at anyone, and after bowing to the middle-aged cultivator, she quickly walked to the side.
"She seems to be called Li Zimei." Xu Qing recalled the other party's name from before and withdrew his gaze before walking forward, arriving at the green stone he raised his hand with a calm expression and pressed on it.
As the light flashed, dozens of light points slowly emerged within the humanoid pattern that emerged on it, seemingly somewhat unstable and still flickering.
"Forty-three points, not bad, pass." The middle-aged cultivator swept away and nodded.
Xu Qing's right hand was hastily withdrawn, walking to the side, the heterogeneous quality within his body that he had suppressed just now to not be sucked away by the shadow, at this moment, it flew into the shadow and disappeared.
Forty-three points, this score wasn't considered exceptional, but it wasn't bad either, Xu Qing felt that it was fine.
In reality, it was indeed the case, of the sixty or so testers they had, there were only nineteen of them with points below fifty, while there were twenty of them with more than a hundred.
These twenty people had pale faces at this moment.
"Three door test, according to the comprehensive calculation of results, the second door test is your will, now all come forward and do well on your knees." The one who spoke was another of the three middle-aged people, this person had a centaur's face, a solemn expression, and a hoarse voice.
Between the words coming out at this moment, the crowd came forward and plopped down on their knees, and after Xu Qing sat down within the crowd, he raised his head to look at the horse-faced middle-aged man, he wanted to know how the will was measured.
At the moment he looked, the horse-faced middle-aged man waved his hand and took out a metal vial, which was silver in color, with a large number of runes carved on it, looking very ancient while also containing some extremely special flavor.
After taking it out, he and the two beside him, both looked much more serious.
"Inside this is a drop of blood that has been diluted countless times, once it is stimulated it can form a deterrent, if you and the others can't withstand it, you can bite the tip of your tongue and give up."
After saying that, he opened the bottle and poured the contents, onto the green stone.
Xu Qing gazed, and soon he saw that from within that metal bottle, a drop of golden liquid fell, which was very viscous and seemed to be self-contained.
In the instant it fell and touched the green boulder, the green stone shone directly, the golden light suddenly covered in all directions, a hissing sound that seemed to come from the ancient times, from the place where the golden blood fell within the green stone, exploded.
With the outbreak, vaguely as if there is a huge eye, in which to visualize out.
This eye vertical pupil, inside the growth of countless tentacles, swaying outward to climb out, bizarre to the extreme at the same time, but also with a touch of sacred meaning.
It was as if it was a deity that stood high above and looked down on all living beings, incomparably indifferent as it looked towards the crowd.
All of the testers who sat here cross-legged, all of them had their minds blasted in an instant, like heavenly thunder exploding in their heads.
One by one, their bodies trembled intensely, as if the flesh and blood of their entire body had lost control, each becoming an individual to be separated from their body, and while the feeling of tearing surfaced, their complexion changed even more rapidly.
A tremor from the depths of the soul, from the life instinct of a strong crisis, in their hearts crazy outbreak, so that this one tester, in an instant as if losing their minds, there are three people are directly blood sprayed out, wailing on the ground.
Even Zhou Qingpeng and Li Zimei, their faces turned pale in an instant, their whole bodies trembled violently, nosebleeds spilled out, and their eyes were bloodshot.
Only Xu Qing, at this moment, although his body was just as shaken, the shock within him was even more intense.
Because ...... this eye, he was familiar with it!
With that day when the gods opened their eyes, he looked at the sky when he looked at the sky, not to say that it was exactly the same, but this feeling of intimidation was ......
exactly the same!
