161: Miscellaneous Test

Outside the Qingtian Sect Mountain Gate.

At this moment, most of the disciples' families had already gathered at the foot of the mountain.

One by one, the Qingtian Sect disciples, with the elders' permission, walked out of the Mountain Gate and came to the foot of the mountain to watch the selection of servant disciples.

Wang Ba and Kun Kun were no exception; they also walked to the foot of the mountain, looking into the crowd for their grandfathers and fathers.

"Ba'er, Dad is here!" In the crowd, Wang Ba's father, seeing Wang Ba come out, excitedly waved at him.

"Kun Kun, Grandpa is here!" Kun Kun's grandfather also waved at Kun.

Coincidentally, the two were standing together again.

"Hmph, Old Thing, you're really a persistent ghost, how could I run into you here?" After waving, Wang Ba's father looked at Kun Kun's grandfather with an unhappy expression.

The last time Wang Ba was tested, this Old Thing had mocked Wang Ba quite a bit, so he had no good feelings for this Old Thing.

"Heh, you Big Saber, just wait for your turtle son. This old man isn't interested in arguing with you." Kun Kun's grandfather retorted, happily looking at Kun Kun who was running towards him.

"You..."

Wang Ba's father wanted to retort fiercely again, but Wang Ba had already walked up to him.

He had no choice but to turn his anger into a smile, patting Wang Ba's shoulder and saying, "Ba'er, Dad missed you so much. How is it? What level has your cultivation broken through to now?"

Unable to sense Wang Ba's cultivation, Wang Ba's father looked surprised and doubtful.

The last time they met, he could still discern Wang Ba's cultivation. In just over a month, Wang Ba had grown to a point where he couldn't see through him.

One must know that he was at Heavenly Soul Second Layer. Wang Ba must have broken through to at least Heavenly Soul Second Layer or above, which was truly terrifying.

"Hehe, Dad, I'm already a Peak Earth Venerable," Wang Ba replied proudly.

"What! Peak Earth Venerable? So fast?"

Hearing Wang Ba say he had broken through to Peak Earth Venerable, Wang Ba's father's mouth fell open in shock.

He had originally thought that Wang Ba breaking through to the Mid Heavenly Soul Realm would be the absolute limit. After all, when they last parted, Wang Ba was only in the Void Breaking Realm.

To break through to the Mid Heavenly Soul Realm in just one month was already incredibly fast.

He hadn't expected Wang Ba to now be a Peak Earth Venerable. Peak Earth Venerable and Void Breaking Realm were four major realms apart.

Breaking through four major realms in one month was simply too terrifying.

Kun Kun's grandfather also trembled with shock upon hearing Wang Ba's words. He asked Kun Kun, who was approaching, "Kun'er, you... have you also broken through to the Earth Venerable Realm?"

He himself was at the Human Venerable Realm.

He couldn't see through Kun Kun's current realm either, which clearly meant his cultivation surpassed his own.

"That's right, Grandpa, Brother Wang Ba and I are the same; we are both in the Earth Venerable Realm," Kun Kun replied with a smile.

"Hiss, he really broke through to Earth Venerable as well." Kun Kun's grandfather was stunned into a daze upon hearing this.

He couldn't imagine what heaven-defying things were inside the Qingtian Sect that could make people cultivate so quickly.

The two of them had such expressions.

The families of other Qingtian Sect disciples around them also had the same expressions.

After witnessing their descendants and relatives break through so rapidly after entering the Qingtian Sect, they were all dumbfounded with shock.

Only after they recovered their senses.

They looked at the Qingtian Sect's Mountain Gate with expectant faces.

As long as they passed the test, they could enter the Qingtian Sect as servants.

They didn't aspire to achieve the breakthrough speed of their descendants and relatives; they would be satisfied with even a tenth of that speed.

Under everyone's gaze.

Li Big Saber stepped through the void and arrived above the crowd.

"Disciples, greetings, Great Elder!" Seeing Li Big Saber appear, Gu Chen and all the other disciples bowed in greeting.

"Mm."

Li Big Saber nodded, took out the talent testing ladder, and threw it in front of the crowd, saying, "You are all relatives of my Qingtian Sect disciples. I don't need to say more about what this is. Go on up. Those who can reach above five hundred steps will advance to the next test."

About 100,000 people came this time, and there were many with high cultivation, including even Saint and Saint King powerhouses, so there would certainly be many who could reach above five hundred steps.

Of course, if there weren't enough people above five hundred steps, he would select more from below five hundred steps until five thousand servants were chosen.

As Li Big Saber's voice fell.

The crowd eagerly rolled up their sleeves and rushed towards the talent testing ladder.

Before, they had watched their descendants climb the ladder; today, it was finally their turn.

"Dad, good luck! When you enter the Qingtian Sect as a servant, I'll apply to the elders to make you my exclusive servant!" Seeing the test begin, Gu Chen shouted to Gu Feiyang, who was rushing towards the talent testing ladder.

"Hmph, you brat, just you wait." Hearing Gu Chen wanting him to be his exclusive servant, Gu Feiyang huffily retorted, then rushed towards the talent testing ladder.

"Imperial Father, you must also work hard and definitely enter the sect as a servant!"

"That's right, Dad, you have to work hard!"

Mu Xueqing and Qin Fei'er also shouted to their Imperial Father and father.

"Hehe, Qing'er, Imperial Father will definitely enter the Qingtian Sect as a servant."

"Mm, Fei'er, Dad will do his best."

Mu Zhan and Qin Fei'er's father smiled and stepped onto the talent testing ladder, beginning their arduous climb.

Time passed minute by minute.

The relatives of the Qingtian Sect disciples continued to climb the ladder, covered in sweat.

When they watched from outside before, they wondered why this talent testing ladder was so difficult to climb.

Now that they were on it themselves, they realized how abnormal this talent testing ladder was.

Without the corresponding talent, they had to pay a bloody price to climb even one more step, and even then, success wasn't guaranteed.

So, even now, only a little over five thousand had reached five hundred steps, while the others were struggling around three to four hundred steps.

Li Big Saber gave these people some more time.

Only when everyone could no longer climb did he pull them all out.

This test resulted in 5,120 people reaching five hundred steps and over 10,000 people reaching over four hundred steps.

As for the Qingtian Sect disciples' relatives who were below four hundred steps, Li Big Saber didn't hesitate and directly had the Qingtian Guards send them back to their hometowns.

After all, with over five thousand reaching five hundred steps and over ten thousand reaching over four hundred steps, it was perfectly possible to select five thousand servants.

Even if the Illusion Demon Realm stage eliminated a large portion of them, it would still be more than enough.
