The Spirit World

Chapter 47 Golden Light!

Xiao Zhang, an intelligence collector from the Ether Empire Intelligence Department, is very excited about today's intelligence gathering because today is a big day.

The annual spiritual power test at Bailing Mountain will take place today.

He prepared a special brush for the Intelligence Department - this kind of brush only requires a certain level of painting skills to automatically record dynamic ink portraits, just like the portraits of the Tianbu members in the steward's room, which will present a very realistic effect.

His team leader Sima Xingyang had been waiting at the fairy stone testing bench for a long time. Everyone called her the big sister, so he followed suit.

"Hurry up, Xiao Zhang, it's about to start!" The big sister looked at Xiao Zhang who was still slowly organizing the scroll and pulled him to the front of the stands, which was their intelligence department's exclusive location, where they could watch the spiritual power test up close.

"Here I am, Big Sister." He walked through the crowded crowd, which was full of disciples from the Ten Divisions and Six Paths of Bailing Mountain, and many people like him who could visit the spiritual power test. Of course, they had to pass the Bailing Mountain barrier, and many of his colleagues in the intelligence department could not cross the barrier. When he learned that he was going to be a partner with Big Sister, he was still afraid that he would mess up because of his clumsy hands.

There were also some immortal cultivators from certain sects in the crowd. Most of them were dressed in the same uniform and were neatly arranged together. There were many sects with well-known names, such as [Hualing Sect] and [Qingyun Mountain]. They were both legendary sects in the immortal cultivation world of the Ether Empire, and together with Bailing Mountain, they were known as the three immortal mountains. Every year, they would send representatives to watch the spiritual power tests of their new disciples. After all, they were the top sects in the entire immortal cultivation world of the Ether Empire, and it was common for them to learn from each other.

The stands were packed with people and the audience was noisy, waiting for the test to begin. The Immortal Stone Test was a grand annual event, not only for Bailing Mountain to test and recruit new disciples to study in different branches, but also to promote the prestige of Bailing Mountain. There were so many tricks involved that only the managers of Bailing Mountain knew.

The fairy stone being tested is a huge blue uncut jade, fixed in the middle of a huge stone pillar. There is a crack of a moderate size on the jade. This is the square where the disciples usually rest after training. The fairy stone pillar is connected to the steps, and the fairy stone is lifted up in the air in the form of an arch. The stone pillars are like a series of chain gates, standing on the top of Bailing Mountain.

For some reason, there were very few people present today, even the position of the chief steward was vacant.

"Big sister, the position of chief steward is vacant this year." Xiao Zhang looked at the big sister who was anxiously looking at the position of the delegation: "Should this be reported as news?"

"No need. According to internal information, the Grand Steward and the Prime Minister have both canceled their attendance."

"why?"

"How would I know? However, this year there will be someone who will appear, and he is the focus we need to report on!!"

"Are you talking about the young master of the Ning family?" Xiao Zhang looked at her in surprise: "The young master has already entered the heavenly department, so he doesn't need to test his spiritual power, right?"

“Your sensitivity to news is so low! How can you move up? No reporting without testing? The entire Ether Empire wants to see the true appearance of the young master of the Ning family. Any portrait of him is a big news! Learn well!” The big sister was still looking at the location of the delegation, but there were no new faces in the delegation.

"Strange, it's almost time to start, why hasn't the young master of the Ning family come yet?" The eldest sister was a little puzzled, but a small figure soon made her eyes light up.

The small figure, wearing a long-sleeved gown with a black background and white plum blossoms, walked out from the shadows and sat down in the delegation's seat. His long black hair was tied into a ponytail and hung down behind him. The jade pendant that belonged to the young master of the Ning family was shining green at his waist.

When he took his seat, the whole audience started to make a commotion.

"Brother! Look, that's the young master who has been missing for a long time!" Junior brother Luo Yiqing of [Hualing Sect] looked at the serious little face on the stage with excitement. Yiqing was very handsome, even a little feminine, or gave people the feeling that he was a very cute boy at such a young age.

"Hmm." Senior Brother Zhao Yunfei looked at the young boy on the stage with a sharp gaze. He responded. His eyebrows were sharp and angular, revealing a handsomeness.

"Junior sister, look! The young master of Bailing Mountain!" The eldest disciple of Qingyun Mountain, Zhou Xingliang, happily pulled the second junior sister beside him, Li Rongrong.

Li Rongrong was reading a book with pictures of many handsome guys with great interest, and had no interest in this test at all: "No, no, no." These were all young talents, representing the top immortal cultivation forces in the entire Ether Empire.

"Quick! That little kid! That's the young master of the Ning family!" The big sister pointed excitedly at the boy sitting on the seat, signaling Xiao Zhang to draw it immediately. Xiao Zhang drew it quickly, and soon a portrait of a boy sitting upright appeared on the paper. The boy looked around and looked very nervous.

"First place! Zhang Wei!" Ning Tang shouted loudly while standing next to the fairy stone. Everyone looked towards the corridor used exclusively for testing disciples. There was a special barrier inside to keep the test takers at their highest strength.

A boy with ordinary looks came out. He seemed very nervous. This test might determine the upper limit of his first practice. There would be another test in five years, and he would practice further, but this first test was really a test that determined his fate.

It is very important for all test disciples.

"Buzz~" When Zhang Wei's hand touched the fairy stone, the fairy stone emitted a faint blue light, and the stone pillars were instantly connected by a blue vortex light gate, presenting a blue starlight vision. The blue light gate kept changing between the stone pillars, and everyone's eyes followed its changes. The spirit of communicating with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth amazed all those who had never seen it.

Zhang Wei's heart was in his throat.

please!please!
There was another humming sound, and the vortex of the light gate finally turned into a blue starlight, with the floating star points emitting white light that seemed to be strong or weak.

"Earth Steps!" An ancient voice came from the immortal stone. The sound was like a low artillery bombardment, reaching everyone's mind.

The levels are divided into heaven, earth, man, stars, gold, wood, water, fire and earth, with the earth level being the lowest.

"What a shame!" Zhou Xingliang shook his head. The black tassels on the long sword at his waist fluttered in the crowd even though it was not moving. The scabbard was very conspicuous with so many gems. His green Shanmen costume was very delicate and exceptionally gorgeous in the entire stand.

"What's so regretful about this? Weren't you also a small trash of the Earth Level back then?" Li Rongrong turned a page. She hadn't raised her head since she picked up the book.

"I am a genius. Not everyone in this world is a genius." Zhou Xingliang ignored her angrily and continued to look at the stage. He recognized the person on the opposite side of the stands at a glance, waved his hand, lowered his head, and greeted him with a sly smile.

"Brother! It's Zhou Xingliang! He is greeting us!" Luo Yiyun, dressed in the orange-red clan robes, pointed at Zhou Xingliang across the stands. However, Zhao Yunfei did not look in the direction Luo Yiyun pointed. Instead, he looked in the direction of the fairy stone with a serious face. The next disciple to be tested also came on stage. She was a girl.

"Om~"

When the girl's hand touched the fairy stone, the fairy stone instantly connected to the vortex of the light gate on the stone pillar. The purple light suddenly illuminated everyone in purple. The purple stars on the vortex light gate were fully distributed, enough to illuminate the entire mountain top. The audience looked sideways and exclaimed "wow".

"Golden Steps" Ning Tang's voice spread throughout the hall.

"Great!" The girl went down happily, and the audience applauded enthusiastically. They were cheering for the girl's potential. Every time Bailing Mountain had a potential genius, it would only bring benefits and no harm. With the continuous flow of talents from the four countries, the more geniuses this family had, the more face it would gain.

Chang Yufeng looked at the happy boy, his face was not happy at all, he was frowning, Dada would not break his promise yesterday! After all, for some unknown reason, Dada did not attend this test meeting. Even the prime minister did not attend, which was really strange. These adults did not keep their promises, which really made him physically and mentally irritated.

He looked at the next person who was going to take the test and became even more nervous. He grabbed the leg of his chair and his hands were sweating with nervousness.

Lin'er walked up the stairs gracefully. Her purple dress seemed to float in the air, fluttering in the wind. She looked in the direction of Chang Yufeng, her eyes full of determination.
