Chapter 156: Third Trial: Potential Assessment Steele
"I’ll give you a day’s worth of time to rest and recuperate, use it wisely." Tian Huang loudly declared, then he sat down mid-air and closed his eyes.
Expressions of relief appeared on the cultivators’ faces. They were all in their worst condition, except for Tang Yin. The chances of them passing the remaining trials in their current condition was very low.
Tang Yin closed his eyes and entered a meditative state. He was going through the Heaven Devouring Abyssal Sanskrit in his mind.
Since he had reached the Qi Transformation Realm, he could preview the fourth layer of the Heaven Devouring Abyssal Sanskrit.
As Tang Yin browsed the Sanskrit, an odd feeling filled his mind. There was only one skill listed on the fourth layer of the Heaven Devouring Abyssal Sanskrit. It was not a Martial Skill though.
According to the Heaven Devouring Abyssal Sanskrit, it was a Divine Spirit Skill. There was no explanation of what a Divine Spirit Skill was in the Sanskrit.
It was only mentioned that he would receive a Divine Spirit Skill named Abyss Emperor Transformation.
Other than this, the Heaven Devouring Abyss listed that he would receive the Divine Spirit Skill when he reached the 7th stage of the Qi Transformation Realm.
There was nothing else depicted, the Heaven Devouring Abyssal Sanskrit was being vague as usual.
After pondering what a Divine Spirit Skill was and the potential power of the Abyss Emperor Transformation. Tang Yin decided not to rack his brains. Everything would be revealed eventually.
He closed his eyes and patiently waited for a day’s worth of time to flow by.
For cultivators, a day’s worth of time was akin to the blink of an eye.
Tian Huang opened his eyes, and he stood up, attracting everyone’s attention.
"I don’t care whether you have recovered or not, the third trial will commence." After saying this, Tian Huang brought both of his arms up and made a slow descending motion.
With an earth-shattering rumble, a large crack opened up in space beside Tian Huang. The crack was 20 feet wide and 100 feet tall.
A large monument emerged from the crack in space. It was 15 feet wide and 60 feet tall, and its surface seemed to be made up of black marble.
It was clearly divided into 9 sections. However, the monument was still one piece.
The monument appeared from the crack and descended towards the centre of the platform.
Scattered Soul Daoist was seated at the centre of the platform, his expression changed drastically when he saw the monument descend upon him. He quickly moved out of the way.
A loud thud rang out when the monument took root on the platform.
Everyone stared at it with curious gazes.
"This is the Potential Assessment Steele. It will test your talent and potential for cultivation."
"There are 9 sections on the Steele, the higher your talent and potential, the more sections which will light up."
"This trial is all about your potential. As long as you can light up more than 4 sections, you will have successfully passed the third trial. If any one of you can light up more than 8 sections, I’ll grant you a reward."
"If less than 4 sections light up, then you will have failed the trial. However, there is no death penalty, I’ll send you out of the Tides of Chaos. The ones with the highest cultivation shall go first." Upon finishing his explanation, Tian Huang looked towards Scattered Soul Daoist.
Scattered Soul Daoist confidently strode towards the Potential Assessment Steele, he then glanced back at Tian Huang.
"Place your hand on it." Tian Huang instructed.
Scattered Soul Daoist raised his withered old hand and placed it on the Potential Assessment Steele.
A few moments later, the first section of the Steele lit up. This was followed by the second, third and fourth. The fifth section lit up another moment later, and the sixth section showed signs of lighting up, it took a good few breaths before the sixth section was lit up dimly.
After waiting for 10 more breaths, the seventh section did not light up.
"You have passed the third trial, next." Tian Huang languidly stated, he then looked towards a 9th-stage Qi Transformation Realm cultivator.
The 9th stage Qi Transformation Realm cultivator walked up to the Potential Assessment Steele and placed his hand upon it. Similar to Scattered Soul Daoist, 5 sections lit up almost instantly. The sixth section also lit up a moment later. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Unparalleled excitement appeared on the cultivator’s face. Six sections lighting up meant that he had a chance to reach the Spirit Ascension Realm in the future!
