Eternal Reverence - Chapter 33

Chapter 33
As he came nearer, Li Fuchen realised how awe-inspiring the Cang Lan Sect was . Everything stated in the legends came to realization, a spotless sky clear as a blue crystal could be seen above .

Atop the thousands of peaks, pine trees were rooted with branches reached to the sky, and one could see countless Crowned Cranes soaring through the sky .

These Crowned Cranes had abnormally huge bodies, they were as tall as 10 meters and were also known as Giant Cranes . They had brightly colored feathers and were obviously the mutated version of ordinary Crowned Cranes . With lighting speed, they could easily pierce through clouds like an arrow .

Apart from that, deeper into the mountains, beastly roars could be constantly heard . Li Fuchen sighted an enormous python erecting half its body, spitting out mist after swallowing the clouds and absorbing the sun and moon’s essence within .

“Legends foretold that the sect could tame demonic beasts and use a unique pill to refine the demonic qi in it to spirit qi . It seems that all those stories are true . ” Li Fuchen assumed that the Cang Lan Sect couldn’t have too many demonic beasts residing within . As demonic beasts were brutal and bloodthirsty monsters, thus they are unable to live in harmony with humans .

As everyone arrived at the foot of the mountain, a Giant Crane which had the strength of an ox came flying towards them . Riding on it was a veteran .

This veteran was obviously an outer sect elder and was here to guide everyone to the mountain .

The mountain was named Plateau Mountain, meaning stability and steadiness . It was one of the outer sect’s peaks, normally used for receiving guests or conducting outer sect disciple appraisal trials, and was the residence of many outer sect elders and deacons .

Among the other peaks, Plateau Mountain was one of the lower ones, with a height of 700 meters . On the path to the summit of the mountain, Li Fuchen noticed unending rows of houses and mansions along the way . There were also many busy outer sect deacons who are all at least at the level of the Origin Realm .

As Li Fuchen continued, he counted at least a hundred outer sect deacons and felt lament . The sect was worthy of its name, just this small peak contained so many Origin Realm experts and this was just a small portion of the deacons on Plateau Mountain . The Cang Lan Sect has more than a hundred peaks, some far beyond what the human eye can see and were hidden in the mist .

Reaching the top of the mountain, Li Fuchen’s eyes suddenly widened .

Plateau Mountain, as the name suggested, the top of the mountain looked like it was cleaved horizontally by god . There was this gigantic plateau which could hold thousands of people and on the other side of the plateau, was this massive monastery .

“Stand in a queue and enter in order to register your identity . Take note, do not make any error with your personal information, if not, you will need to take responsibility for it . ” Chen Zongming said in the strict tone .


“Understood . ” Li Fuchen and the rest nodded .

In front of them were at least a thousand disciples .

Outer sect disciple appraisals weren’t done on any fixed date of the month, but continuously carried out with every batch’s arrival . Because it would be too tiresome to appraise tens of thousands of disciples all in one go . Furthermore, every batch arrived at the different timing, just waiting wouldn’t be beneficial either .

The queue shorten very quickly and roughly after one hour, it was time for Li Fuchen’s group to register .

After the registration, the first segment of the trial began: Bone Frame Examination .

In order to examine the bone frame, a bone frame stone was required . The Li Clan only had a bone frame stone the size of a skull, but the Cang Lan Sect actually had one the size of a 3 meter wide boulder . It was a stone, but actually a special jadeite stone that was translucent and white in color .

“Jia Sanyou, 1 star bone frame, 50 points . ”

“Lu Hao, 2 star bone frame, 60 points . ”

“Fang Tao, 2 star bone frame, 60 points . ”



“Xu Gan, 2 star bone frame, 60 points . ”

“Luo Dahe, 3 star bone frame, 70 points . ”

……

Li Fuchen noticed that the majority of the disciples had a 1 or 2 star bone frame and the minority were 3 star bone frames . After about every twenty disciples, one would have one who was a 3 star bone frame . But this was if you went into the details, if you were to look at the bigger picture, there were plenty of 3 star bone frame disciples .

The previous recruitment had around 10,000 disciples going through the appraisal, hence this year should be around the same quantity too . With one out of twenty being a 3 star bone frame, that would mean there were around 500 of them here .

For the first time, Li Fuchen felt uncertain .

Not because of his poor bone frame, but due to the fearsome sect . A 2 star bone frame was considered to be exceptional in any city, and a 3 star bone frame was a rare appearance . But in the sect, 2 star bone frames are worth nothing, there were 3 star bone frames everywhere and 4 star bone frames may be rare, but within the sect there should be plenty as well . 4 star bone frames were normally recruited in advance, thus, they aren’t normally seen during the appraisals, unless they were overlooked .

In a flash, it was time for Li Fuchen and group to get examined .

“Yang Kai, 3 star bone frame, 70 points . ”

“Shen Tu Jue, 2 star bone frame, 60 points . ”

“Shen Tu Liang, 1 star bone frame, 50 points . ”



“Guan Peng, 2 star bone frame, 60 points . ”

“He Ping, 2 star bone frame, 60 points . ”

Only allowed on Creativenovels . com

“Zhu Hongxiu, 3 star extraordinary bone frame, 75 points . ”

In the hall, Zhu Hongxiu’s palm pressed on top of the bone frame stone . There was an obvious light red glow that was emitted from the stone, whereas all the previous cases were just strong or weak white lights .

“A 3 star extraordinary bone frame!” Many couldn’t help but gasp .

3 star bone frames were considered elites in the sect, while 3 star extraordinary bone frames were equivalent to 4 star bone frames .

Zhu Hongxiu was surprised too, the Zhu Clan’s bone frame stone was only the size of a palm . It couldn’t possibly find out if the bone frame had any extraordinary power .

“3 star flame bone frame, not bad at all . ” Chen Zongming was feeling blessed to be able to recruit a 3 star flame bone frame disciple . The sect will have to reward him with contribution points . These contribution points were extremely precious and only obtainable after contributing to the sect .

Liu Fangtao said enviously, “Congratulations Elder Chen, among the outer sect disciples, 3 star extraordinary bone frames disciples are the rarest with only a dozen of them . ”

After Zhu Hongxiu step down, Li Fuchen took a step forward .



As Li Fuchen had expected, there was no reaction to the stone at all . This meant Li Fuchen had a normal bone frame that couldn’t cause any reaction in the stone .

“Li Fuchen, normal bone frame, 40 points . ” The exam elder gave a light frown, but without any emotions .

“A normal bone frame actually appeared, how unlikely!”

“The Cang Lan Sect hadn’t produce any normal bone frame disciples for a stretch of years now . Who could this youth be? Could be he a descendant of an inner sect elder?”

“No matter who his ancestor may be, he would most probably just be an odd job disciple . ”

In the hall, there was always around 100 disciples . All of them who found out that Li Fuchen was only a normal bone frame gave him an unworthy look . If a normal bone frame disciple could become an outer sect disciple, the Cang Lan Sect would be stuffed with people .

“Heh heh!”

See this situation, Guan Peng and his group snickered at Li Fuchen and was glad he made a fool of himself .

Slowly exhaling, Li Fuchen left with a composed expression .

His bone frame is indeed a normal bone frame, but before he had the golden amulet, he always had a cultivation talent that was better than 1 star bone frames and was in no way any inferior to 2 star bone frames . If not, how could he be placed on the same genius level as Li Yunhai .

What’s more, this was only the first trial, the second and third trial was where he could demonstrate his talents .

As long as the total points from all three trials exceeded 180 points, he could become an outer sect disciple .
