Chapter 1690: The Evaluation Begins (1/2)
The entrance evaluation for the Eternal Sacred Land had a set of strict standards Even though Jiang Chen had been recommended in, he wasn’t spared fro cultivation, Yan Qingsang had improved with remarkable rapidity as well He could already sense traces of the heavenly dao, and it seeh at any reat eress with e time Over the past month, the details of hisChen’s i his flaws Because of this, he was finally beginning to sense what he hadn’t before
The change manifested in hi prepared to receive the exam in prime condition
On the eve of the exam, Ziju Min felt a mixture of emotions well up
He occupied a quite prominent position in the Eternal Sacred Land — one of the upper elders in the Hall of Elders, one of the ten most important Aside fro directly beneath, no one else could claim seniority over hi men had resulted in considerable pressure Not so much with Shao Yuan, whose pill dao talent and expertise ell known, but the accessory Yan Qingsang was a source of ridicule
Soenius froht shame upon the faction They didn’t want Ziju Min to start such a harmful practice, since they were concerned that the precedent would result in even more lawlessness
Ziju Min didn’t defend hi into the fold would give those who opposed him an opportunity to criticize
But he wasn’t really concerned with that His status as a master of pill dao afforded him courtesy from even the three primes As for the elders ere on the same level with him, he didn’t care about what they said
“Elder Ziju, the exam is tomorrow The Eternal Sacred Land carries its own set of rules and principles If that House Yan kid can’t pass the exam, we’ll have to kick him out”
“Haha, it’s not just the House Yan kid If… as his naain? Shao Yuan? If he doesn’t pass, the rules stipulate that he can’t stay either”
Ziju Min was a respected and dependable man in Eternal Sacred Land Still, he had a few that he didn’t get along with The handful of elders ere hostile to him came forward now to poke at hiuarantee anything on Yan Qingsang’s behalf, but Shao Yuan will pass the exam for sure No question about it Unless–”
The pill sovereign paused intentionally here before continuing “Unless someone deliberately interferes with the process or doctors the exam”
“Who dares do so? The sacred land’s rules are far-reaching and publicly recognized Anyone who does challenges its authority No matter his position, he will be punished”
“Yes, Elder Ziju No need to worry about that As long as they are real geniuses, the sacred land will only welcome them Why would someone meddle with the exananimity earned him quite a bit of support Many others sounded their opinions in reassurance
The pill sovereign smiled “My fellow daoists, I have no doubt Shao Yuan will persevere Keep your eyes peeled I firmly believe that he will becoht one day”
“Haha, you certainly have high hopes for hiood his pill dao talent is, it’s not to the point of creatingto make Shao Yuan his successor?”
“If Eternal Sacred Land gains a second Daoist Ziju, that would be a wonderful thing”
“Truly The sacred land’s pill dao masters are too few in number”
“It seems you all have underestimated Shao Yuan’s talent My intention isn’t for hih time, his achievement in pill dao will be ten times mine It’s quite likely he will be able to surpass all the divine nations’ pill dao masters”
Ziju Min’s remarks were entirely heartfelt, but they sounded like colossal jokes to others
Achievement ten times that of Ziju Min’s own?
What did that even mean?
Ziju Min’s pill dao achievement wasn’t necessarily the best in the Ten Divine Nations, but he was definitely ainably eminent The idea that the boy would surpass every other pill master in the Ten Divine Nations was absolutely incomprehensible
