Chapter 1181: Chapter 1181: The 50 People

After entering the starry sky, wherever their gaze fell, silhouettes flew out from various planets, heading towards the direction of the Mysterious Pool.

There, rosy light dazzled, shining deep into the cosmos, akin to a celestial realm, guiding beings in that direction.

"After entering the Mysterious Pool, do not wander aimlessly, or you’ll perish and no one will retrieve your body!" Qiu Wuyu warned as he led the way.

"Inside the Mysterious Pool, there will be an assessment. If you pass the assessment, you will become a disciple of the Holy Sect. This is the Dragon Gate, whether you carp can transform into true dragons will depend on your own abilities!"

The beings listened with flickering eyes, having guessed earlier that there would be an assessment in the Mysterious Pool.

Otherwise, merely being recommended by a Holy Sect envoy to join the Holy Sect would absolutely lack merit.

Qin Jun was absolutely confident in passing the assessment if it occurred.

As long as his bloodline wasn’t seen through, he would be fine. If it was, he would start a battle right there.

He had already planned his actions after entering the Holy Sect.

Soon, Qin Jun saw the figures of Di Tianwu, Kun Qu, Ye Nanfeng, Sikong Jingxuan, Emperor of Heavenly Destiny, and others, staring ahead at the Mysterious Pool from different directions.

As they got closer to the Mysterious Pool, instead of feeling discomfort from the intense light, they found the light growing weaker and weaker, which was strange.

Qin Jun looked ahead and saw a floating island appearing in the center of the rosy light, glowing in purple and blue and growing larger.

Ten miles in length and width.

A hundred miles across.

A thousand miles in vastness.

The purple-blue floating island seemed to have a life of its own, growing.

"The Mysterious Pool has transformed from a mysterious stone and possesses immense suction power; you might feel discomfort once you ascend," Qiu Wuyu reminded, but the beings were indifferent.

Most of their cultivation was at the beginning of the Daluo Realm; how could they fear the suction of a stone?

After about half an incense stick’s burning time, beings continuously landed on the Mysterious Pool.

When the first batch of beings landed, their faces changed drastically, and their legs began trembling.

"What is this?"

"The suction is so strong; it feels like carrying several mountains..."

"Beings below the Daluo Realm who land on the island might explode instantly."

"Indeed it’s not simple; the subsequent assessment will likely be even tougher."

"That gave me a jump..."

The beings exclaimed repeatedly, making those who arrived later grow tense.

Qin Jun, along with Sun Wukong and Li Yuanba, also flew into the area of the Mysterious Pool. As soon as they entered, they felt a mighty force tugging at their bodies from below, causing them to plummet rapidly.

Sun Wukong and Li Yuanba landed heavily like two heavy cannons, shattering the ground, but the area of destruction was not large, showing how tough the Mysterious Pool was.

Qin Jun slowly descended; the suction of the Mysterious Pool was nothing to him, as he also cultivated both body and law.

Qiu Wuyu landed, being a perfectly completed cultivator of entering the realm of the sage realm. Such suction was negligible to him.

"Stand in place and wait; do not venture further in."

Qiu Wuyu ordered. The Mysterious Pool was very spacious, like a floating island with a layer sliced off, one could see from one end to the other, spanning hundreds of miles.

More and more beings landed inside the Mysterious Pool, all under a hundred thousand years old. Those older dared not enter without permission and floated around the Mysterious Pool to watch.

Before long, there were over ten thousand beings on the Mysterious Pool.

Almost all the prodigies from the list of 3,000 Heavenly Prides were there, and in addition, many unlisted talents, all from the top ranks of various Clans, sects, and celestial realms in the universe.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that the Mysterious Pool had gathered the top talents of this era.

Xiao Rushui stood alone in the distance, like a proud, cold plum blossom.

Apart from Qiu Wuyu, there were probably hundreds of Holy Sect envoys, all with the perfected cultivation of entering the realm of the sage, giving Qin Jun a clearer understanding of the Holy Sect’s strength.

The prodigies only dared to whisper among themselves, not daring to shout.

The atmosphere was somewhat tense.

Holy Sect envoys stood in front of their leaders, each with a solemn expression, seemingly waiting for something.

Time quietly elapsed.

A full hour passed, yet there was still no activity from the Xuan Pool.

Some geniuses began to falter; standing in the Xuan Pool was like carrying a huge mountain, constantly draining their strength. Many of their legs began to tremble, sweat soaking their backs.

"Could this be one of the trials?"

Qin Jun wondered, Sun Wukong and Li Yuanba behind him were also close to their limits.

However, both were stubborn to their cores, the type who grew stronger under greater pressure.

Next, one genius after another collapsed, their Holy Sect envoys sweeping them away with a wave of their sleeves.

Among them, those ranked in the top hundred of the Three Thousand Geniuses List remained unfazed and at ease.

About another half hour passed.

Almost half of the geniuses had fallen and were sent out of the Xuan Pool, floating in the starry sky, filled with frustration.

At that moment, a black vortex suddenly appeared above the Xuan Pool, spinning and making a whirring sound, startling thousands of geniuses into looking up.

An immense and boundless oppressive force emanated from the black vortex, making even Qin Jun breathe heavily.

It was definitely a presence beyond the Holy Realm!

Xiao Rushui, who had broken through to the Manifesting Saint realm, squinted his eyes and murmured, "The Holy Sect really goes big."

Soon, a figure stepped out from the black vortex, his form flickering like a shadow.

It was a middle-aged man dressed in a deep blue martial robe, with a green jade belt around his waist, and his black hair tied back with a blue scarf, his face sharply contoured, his gaze utterly cold, as if viewing the creatures on Xuan Pool Island as nothing.

"Greetings to Master Miao Yu!"

Hundreds of Holy Sect envoys kneeled on one knee in unison, their voices strong, even carrying a hint of fervor.

Master Miao Yu nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the geniuses remaining in the Xuan Pool.

The geniuses all lowered their heads, only a few could remain composed.

Xiao Rushui!

Di Tianwu!

Ye Nanfeng!

Qin Jun!

The rest of the genius talents dared not meet his gaze, including Sikong Jingxuan and Kun Qu, both peerless geniuses.

Master Miao Yu’s face was cold, giving the impression he was not here to assess, but to kill.

"The Holy Sect recruiting disciples from the outer universe is a once in eternity event."

Master Miao Yu began, his voice ethereal, making listeners feel as if he spoke right beside their ears.

"The Holy Sect will only recruit fifty disciples!"

Boom!

With that statement, the entire Xuan Pool erupted, even the creatures around the Xuan Pool stirred.

Only fifty disciples?

There were at least five thousand genius talents in the Xuan Pool.

The ratio was too cruel!

Qin Jun also furrowed his eyebrows; with such a ratio, it was very difficult for Sun Wukong and Li Yuanba to pass the assessment.

In his plans, he couldn’t proceed without Sun Wukong and Li Yuanba.

Going to the Holy Sect alone, he would easily be detected by the saints for possessing the Inferno Demon God bloodline.

In that case, Qin Jun would face a situation of life and death.

"If it really comes to it, have them awaken their limit at the moment before entering the Holy Sect!"

Qin Jun decided in his heart, after all, awakening their limit required time, enough for him to enter the Holy Sect.

If both Sun Wukong and Li Yuanba could achieve sainthood, that would be absolutely thrilling!
