Chapter 545 Genesis Essence Light Pillar (1/2)

As sect master Qing Yang’s voice boomed across the area, light began to spread from the disciples inside the Genesis reservoir, wrapping around their bodies, before soaring into the sky.

Outside the Genesis reservoir.

Countless glowing figures descended, as the disciples from seven peaks were sent out of the reservoir. They landed on the many mountains in the vicinity, as the land soon began to be filled with excited noises.

Some of the disciples collapsed to the ground in exhaustion, but their faces were stilled with content smiles.

The difficulty of this year’s Genesis reservoir ceremony had been unimaginably high. Fortunately, the seven peaks had ultimately managed to persevere by working together.

After going through such difficulties, what awaited them was a fruitful conclusion.

This was the moment the disciples looked forward to the most.

Meanwhile, at the tallest point in the area.

Sect master Qing Yang and the peak masters gazed upon the countless disciples that covered the land, naturally seeing the latter’s expectant eyes.

Sect master Qing Yang softly chuckled, before he said, “Although the young ones made use of a little trick towards the end, they’ve not disappointed us.”

His gaze swept across one of the mountaintops, where a youthful figure was currently surrounded like stars gathering around the moon. It was obviously Zhou Yuan.

Given sect master Qing Yang’s strength, everything that had happened in the Genesis reservoir naturally entered his eyes, including Zhou Yuan neutralizing the Dragon Saliva True Water, and collecting some of it to defend against the ten thousand foot aquatic beast’s final attack.

He had originally planned on using the ten thousand foot aquatic beast to force the Chosens into a corner, and make them struggle with their lives on the line. However, due to Zhou Yuan’s appearance, the Chosens were clearly saved from being pushed to their limits.

Even so, sect master Qing Yang was still quite satisfied with their overall performance.

At the very least, he knew that the seven peaks were able to put aside their differences, and work together in the face of danger.

The other peak masters also nodded in approval, only peak master Ling Jun remaining expressionless. He had been far too disappointed in Sword Cometh Peak’s performance this time, causing some of the Sword Cometh Peak elders to try their best to become invisible. They could already see how the entire Sword Cometh Peak was going to suffer under peak master Ling Jun’s rage after the Genesis reservoir ceremony was over.

“Since the ceremony has concluded, it’s time for evaluation and rewards.” As sect master Qing Yang’s kind voice spread, the boiling atmosphere froze for an instant, before countless gazes began to burn with excitement.

They had all been waiting for this very moment.

“Disciples of the seven peaks, get ready to be ranked according to your Genesis essence collected.”

Sect master Qing Yang’s finger gently pointed at the air.

Bzz!

Glowing balls of various sizes suddenly rose from the bodies of the disciples. The glowing balls rapidly converged, forming a giant light pillar that swiftly grew taller and taller.

In the area where the disciples of the seven peaks were gathered, seven light pillars rapidly rose into the sky.

Boundless pure energy was contained within the light pillars that clearly originated from Genesis essence.

“The higher the Genesis essence pillar, the better your rankings.”

The eyes of countless disciples were currently glued to the pillars in the sky.

Under their gazes, the seven light pillars continued to extend, reaching a thousand feet in the blink of an eye. However, when this happened, everyone realized one of the pillars had stopped growing, immediately becoming the last amongst the seven peaks.

It was Sword Cometh peak!

Innumerable gazes looked over, only to find the Sword Cometh Peak disciples dejectedly hanging their heads.

Amidst them, Kong Sheng, Zhao Zhu, and the eliminated Baili Che’s expressions fluctuated indeterminately.

All of their hard-earned Genesis essence had ended up being snatched away by Saint Genesis Peak after falling to Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao’s trap. Although they had desperately hunted more later on, how many aquatic beasts could a mere hundred elite disciples possibly hunt?

As such, the amount of Genesis essence they managed to scrounge up in the end was to no surprise the least amongst the seven peaks.

In the thousand foot light pillar, one could faintly see four dragon silhouettes. This meant that the Sword Cometh Peak disciples would at best get to enjoy a four dragons baptism this time.

It was a very bad result for Sword Cometh Peak. After all, the worst result they had gotten in previous years was a five dragons baptism.
