1753 Uproar in Every Tribe, the Temple’s a.s.sessment, Do You Think You’ll Still Have the Chance to Stand In The Spotlight?
The Central Heaven Temple’s appearance caused an uproar in every tribe.
The universe, which was already lively due to the opening of the Ancient Central Heaven Planet, was even livelier now.
Inside the Ancestral Land of a certain King Tribe, a Prodigy holding a long halberd rose into the sky, and a dense aura burst out from him.
It was an Ancient Prodigy from that King Tribe!
!!
“Haha, the era of the Nine Kings’ return is finally here. It looks like my efforts to reduce my cultivation level and go into closed-door meditation weren’t in vain! The opportunity has finally arrived!”
After noticing the difference in the Great Dao aura in this era, the Prodigy could not help letting out a delighted roar.
That Prodigy was not the only one who had awakened.
Following the Central Heaven Temple’s appearance and the prophecy of the Nine Kings’ return, the slumbering Prodigies within every tribe’s Ancestral Land awakened one after another. All of them were prepared to display their strengths in this new era!
Besides them, reincarnated great ones like Feng Qiyu and Di Qianqiu could not wait any longer as well.
On an ancient planet somewhere, Di Qianqiu was sitting crossed-legged with an Emperor Seal levitating before him. Besides the nine dragons carved on the Emperor Seal, surges of Daoist Law were also swirling around it.
It was a top-tier Embodier Weapon.
Then, the Emperor Seal returned to Di Qianqiu’s body. He chuckled. “Sure enough, using my personal Embodier Weapon is always the best. Now that I’ve refined the Divine Emperor Sword and this Nine Dragon Emperor Seal, the next time I encounter the Heavenly Sword, I’ll never end up in that humiliating situation again! No, I’m sure I can overpower him!”
A look of confidence gradually appeared in his eyes.
He looked toward the Central Heaven Temple, and his eyes flickered. “The Central Heaven Temple, how nostalgic. I wonder if those old friends of mine are still well?”
Di Qianqiu was a reincarnation of a Supreme G.o.d King!
In his previous life, he was one of the higher-ups in the Central Heaven Temple. Hence, he had quite a number of followers and subordinates.
With the Central Heaven Temple’s appearance, his subordinates would be of tremendous help to him.
Putting aside everything else, if he were to casually find a few Great Perfected Arch Gilded Immortals as his bodyguard, he would be unstoppable in the entire universe.
“There are still a few items I left behind in the Central Heaven Temple in my past life. I might as well go take it.”
Di Qianqiu thought to himself.
…
Countless cultivators had gathered in front of the Central Heaven Temple.
They were all talented elites from their respective tribes. A few Prodigies among them were even ranked on the Heavenly G.o.d Leaderboard.
Many sky-prides had noticed something recently. The era they were in… had changed!
The Prodigies on the Heavenly G.o.d Leaderboard were no longer the leading elites among the younger generation, especially during the Central Heaven Temple’s opening and the prophesized return of the Nine Kings.
Many Prodigies, who were in deep slumber, had now awakened, and some of them were powerful enough to be on the Heavenly G.o.d Leaderboard. A few among them could defeat the top twenty or even the top ten Prodigies on Heavenly G.o.d Leaderboard!
Their combat strength was simply extraordinary!
Boom!
A terrifying burst of freezing qi erupted and sent a Heavenly G.o.d Leaderboard sky-pride flying!
“What a piece of tras.h.!.+”
Master Han Long looked at that sky-pride and said coldly.
He, too, was one of the slumbering Prodigies. However, he was invited by Di Liufang to join forces against the Heavenly Sword. That battle had caused him to encounter unprecedented setbacks.
All that was on his mind since then was about how he could defeat the Heavenly Sword.
That was until the Central Heaven Temple appeared.
He wanted to test his luck and find out whether any techniques could make him stronger at a faster speed.
Unexpectedly, he defeated all the few sky-prides who challenged him without trouble, and his combat strength shocked many onlookers.
Seeing everyone’s stunned gazes, Master Han Long regained some of his confidence.
‘Look, I’m still powerful.’
‘The reason for my defeat wasn’t because I was too weak. It was because the Heavenly Sword was ridiculously strong.’
“What will the Central Heaven Temple’s a.s.sessment be?” Master Han Long mumbled.
He had been waiting at the Central Heaven Temple for some time now. However, everyone could only linger in the area before the entrance, waiting for the so-called a.s.sessment to begin.
“The trial has begun!”
At that time, an indifferent voice came from within the temple.
It was followed by an extremely powerful surge of aura that swept out into the skies. Soon, every Prodigy was enveloped by this aura.
Those with weak cultivation were immediately slammed onto the ground and disappeared as they were sent outside the bounds of the Central Heaven Temple.
“The Central Heaven Temple’s a.s.sessment is a simple one. If anyone can last six hours under my domineering aura, they shall pa.s.s and be qualified to enter the temple to continue their cultivation.”
A middle-aged man walked out from the temple.
He was dressed in white robes and gave off an unruly presence.
Di Qianqiu, who was among the crowd, looked at him and grinned. “So, it’s him, huh?”
He recognized that middle-aged man.
That man was one of the G.o.d Kings in the Central Heaven Temple. In Di Qianqiu’s past life, he was not even worth taking seriously at all.
Unexpectedly, Di Qianqiu now had to withstand his aura to pa.s.s the a.s.sessment, which annoyed him a lot.
However, he did not reveal his ident.i.ty.
He believed it would be better not to keep his ident.i.ty to himself, seeing that he had not even entered the temple and gathered his subordinates.
A domineering aura filled the starry s.p.a.ce in waves as time went by.
The G.o.d King’s aura was extremely powerful and not to be trifled with by ordinary cultivators.
In less than two hours, many people had withdrawn from the a.s.sessment.
The ones who remained were those with cultivation levels near the Arch Gilded Immortal Realm or Prodigies who were already Arch Gilded Immortals.
Especially the group standing at the very front, each of them was standing proudly with their heads held high and channeling their Immortal’s Core energy, unleas.h.i.+ng various techniques to resist the aura!
For instance, Feng Qiyu was surrounded by Wind of Void, which caused the surrounding aura to dissipate.
Another example was Xiang Tiancang.
His domineering qi manifested his body into a spear, allowing him to stand proudly while repelling the incoming aura!
The white-robed middle-aged man stood at the entrance, releasing his aura while observing every partic.i.p.ant. He wanted to see if any of the Nine Kings worthy of joining the Central Heaven Temple were among them.
However, he shook his head in disappointment — a clear sign that he did not find anyone.
He then looked at the Prodigies and sky-prides with a smile. “It looks like there’s quite some Prodigies in this era.”
His body trembled, releasing an even more powerful aura.
Upon noticing that, the Prodigies frowned a little. Each of them narrowed their eyes and channeled their internal power once more!
As time went by, the a.s.sessment soon ended.
“All of you have pa.s.sed. Now, enter the temple!” the middle-aged man in white robes said calmly.
Some of the Prodigies who barely pa.s.sed let out a sigh of relief. Some even slumped onto the ground gasping for air without a care about their images.
Meanwhile, Di Qianqiu and the others were not affected much at all.
With their talents and strengths, it was easy for them to pa.s.s the a.s.sessment.
“Di Qianqiu, if the opportunity arises after we enter the temple, I will surely come to you for a rematch!” Xiang Tiancang laughed.
“Entering the temple is only the beginning,” Di Qianqiu said indifferently. It was as if he was familiar with the Central Heaven Temple.
“Oh, right. Where’s the Heavenly Sword?” someone suddenly asked curiously.
That question caught everyone by surprise. Normally, huge events like the Central Heaven Temple opening would surely attract the attention of many powerful sky-prides.
Why was the Heavenly Sword absent?
“Hmph! Why even mention him? It’s better that he’s absent.”
Master Han Long snorted. “What I’m about to say will be harsh, but it’s the truth. If he comes, do you guys think you’ll have the chance to stand in the spotlight?”
