Wang Zhen had killed more than a dozen cultivators at East Kunlun's mountain gate, including a few Golden Immortals. This decisiveness also won the praise of the great divine arts practitioners who came to watch the ceremony.
"Fellow Daoist Laozi, it's really gratifying to have such a good disciple!”The Saint of Jieyin sighed with emotion at the first moment. At the same time, he could not suppress the envy and jealousy in his words.
"That's right! That's right!"
"I wish you good fortune."
“……”
A lot of compliments came. Laozi was also smiling, and so were Origin and Tongtian. They couldn't hide the smile on their faces. They weren't unhappy at all because Wang Zhen killed people during their disciple recruitment ceremony.
Did Wang Zhen do anything wrong just now? That's right, he did the right thing and was very decisive! Had he gone overboard? However, the fire was just right! Should those people be killed? He deserved to be killed! It was a sin to talk about saints!
If Wang Zhen had killed too many people, it would have been an indiscriminate killing of the innocent. However, he had only punished the leaders, especially the few Golden Immortals. It was the finishing touch. The status of Golden Immortals in the Wilderness was very awkward. Usually, they would not be able to show their face, but here, it was just right.
In the Primordial World, the strong were respected!
If this matter were to happen to them, they would do the same. This was because the high and mighty Almighty would not allow an ant to point fingers at him, even if there was a hint of it.
Wang Zhen was decisive in killing. Not only did he kill this matter that had just sprouted, but he also gave those cultivators who were lucky enough to pass the first stage a lesson. He made them understand one thing: before their status changed, they should not be too happy. At the same time, they should keep their eyes open. Not everyone could be provoked.
Wang Zhen didn't know about the hustle and bustle in front of the Three Purities Temple. He came to the second stage with a smile on his face and met up with the many treasures who had been waiting for a long time. At this moment, Abundant Treasures was like a fanboy, looking at Wang Zhen with admiration. He was just short of coming up to hug Wang Zhen's thigh.
"Congratulations on passing the first stage. It seems that your luck is quite good.”Looking at these people, Wang Zhen was no longer as decisive as before. However, his smile that was like the sun made these people feel a chill in their hearts.
"However, passing the first stage only proves your luck. Only by passing the next three stages can you enter the Three Pristines Temple and meet the Saints.”At this point, Wang Zhen swept his gaze across everyone and began to introduce the contents of the second stage.
"The second stage, great perseverance! The path of cultivation was full of ups and downs. Only those with great perseverance could endure loneliness and resist temptation. Only then would they have the opportunity to pursue the illusory Heavenly Dao. This road is called the Road of Heavenly Ascension. There are a total of 999 steps. Your mission is to climb these steps.”
After Wang Zhen finished introducing the second stage, he and Abundant Treasures parted to the left and right.
The group of cultivators looked at each other and firmly stepped on the Road of Heavenly Ascension.
The Road of Heavenly Ascension was formed by an array formation. It looked ordinary on the outside, but every cultivator who entered the array formation would be teleported into an isolated space that would not interfere with each other.
Each step on the Road of Heavenly Ascension had different pressure on the body. The higher the step, the greater the pressure. It was a replica of Mount Buzhou. However, the pressure of Pangu on Mount Buzhou was getting weaker and weaker. This time, it was still Wang Zhen who brought up the rear, while Abundant Treasures waited at the entrance of the third stage.
Time slowly passed as they waited. Regardless of whether it was Wang Zhen or the great divine arts practitioners outside the Three Pristines Temple, they were not impatient at all. The second test was to test one's willpower! What was perseverance? It was nothing more than enduring loneliness, keeping one's heart, resisting temptation, and then continuously stimulating one's potential to improve oneself.
Three days! Ten days! One month! Three months! Half a year! One year! Two years! Five years! Ten years!
Finally, on the tenth year, the originally calm array formation was accompanied by a ripple. The cultivator who was almost exhausted struggled out of the array formation. Then, before he could cheer, he sat down cross-legged and began to meditate to recover his magic power and spirit.
After the first cultivator came out, ten days later, the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth cultivators came out. Agree. These five people were the same as the first place. As soon as they came out, they immediately sat down cross-legged and began to meditate to recover.
Everyone had waited for ten years before a cultivator appeared at the entrance of the third stage. However, Wang Zhen, who was guarding the entrance of the second stage, had already sent away countless cultivators who had been eliminated.
This formation was made by Sect Master Tongtian. Once a cultivator could not withstand it, the formation would automatically send them out of the formation. There would be no casualties from breaking through the formation.
Time passed again. On the fifteenth year, the last cultivator who was still holding on in the formation finally couldn't take the pressure and fainted. He was sent out of the formation. The second stage was finally passed.
What surprised Wang Zhen was that this last face was a little special. He was actually a human youth, and a human without any cultivation. Wang Zhen saw that he had fainted, so he didn't leave him alone. Instead, he placed him behind the Three Pristines Temple and let the heaven and earth spirits in the Sage's dojo take care of him. Everything would be discussed later.
With the first round of killing to establish their might, the cultivators who were eliminated this time did not say anything else. They simply turned around and left one by one. Wang Zhen also did not have to be idle. After he settled the human, he turned around and went back to preside over the last round.
"First of all, I would like to congratulate everyone for passing two trials in a row.”Standing in front of these people, Wang Zhen was still smiling, but no one felt that Wang Zhen was smiling. In their eyes, this was the smile of death!
"The next stage is called Heart Refining! What was heart tempering? It was to interrogate one's heart, to interrogate one's heart for Dao! Interrogate your good and evil heart! This round was rather dangerous. If it was light, they would be injured, and if it was serious, they would go berserk. If everyone did not have confidence in their mental state cultivation, they could choose to withdraw without forcing it!”
Wang Zhen paused and his gaze swept back and forth across the crowd.
Wang Zhen's eyes were smiling, but it still gave many people a lot of pressure. Finally, on the tenth breath, a cultivator could not take it anymore and stood up to express his intention to withdraw.
"Good! One fellow daoist has chosen to withdraw. Is there anyone else who has chosen to withdraw?”Wang Zhen smiled and extended his hand to that person, indicating for him to wait at the side. Then, he swept his gaze over everyone and asked.
With the first one, many cultivators who were not confident in themselves chose to withdraw after consideration. The disciples of the Saints were very attractive, but compared to their lives, they were afraid that they would not be able to enjoy it because Wang Zhen had said that this trial would cause them to be injured at the very least, and at the very least, they would suffer from Qi deviation. They did not believe Wang Zhen's alarmist words.
Soon, thirty percent of the thousand cultivators were gone. Wang Zhen waited for a while and asked again,"Is there anyone else who wants to withdraw?" He asked three times in a row and finally continued,"Then I'll count down from ten. If no one leaves, it means you all agree.”
"Ten! Nine! Eight! Seven! Six! Five! Four! Three! Two! One!"
"Alright, since no one is opting out, I wish you good luck!”Wang Zhen waved his hand, sending the cultivators who had chosen to withdraw out of the Sage's Daoist rite. Then, he and Duo Bao walked to the sides in tacit understanding, making way for the passage to the third stage.
