Leaning against a big tree provides shade, in the Cultivation Immortality Realm having support is very important.
To so extent, having support is more important than hard work.
The benefits given by True Monarch Xuanji enlightening the cultivators are evident, yet the upcoming disciple recruitnt section is what everyone anticipates.
Unfortunately, there are thresholds for disciple recruitnt.
In Lu Family’s public announcent, it’s stated that True Monarch Xuanji will recruit disciples, setting it in the Foundation Establishnt Realm; those with too weak cultivation, are not desired; those with too strong cultivation, even Purple Mansion Golden Core are also not desired.
There are four trials, the first one evaluates moral integrity, poor integrity is not accepted; the second evaluates comprehension, poor comprehension is not accepted; the third evaluates destiny, poor destiny is not accepted; the fourth tests spirit root talent.
Moral integrity is most important.
Poor integrity, yet powerful talent and cultivation result in nurturing a treacherous villain, which is a great disaster.
After announcing the four trials, cultivators imdiately stepped forward to challenge them.
...
At the location of the fourth trial, Lu Xuanji is waiting.
Next to him is True Monarch Tianchen.
"It’s rare for you to calm your mind, to nurture the younger generation!" True Monarch Tianchen said.
"In no more than two hundred years, I will attempt Divinity Transformation... Life and death are unpredictable then, so it’s better to establish a legacy in advance!" Lu Xuanji said, "What brings you to Lu Family, fellow Daoist?"
True Monarch Tianchen said, "I co for the counterattack against the Demon Race. We intend to join forces for a major operation to expand strategic space. In recent years, the Human Race has suffered consecutive defeats, Chu Country has lost half of its territory. There have been major battles over the East Sea, with Wu Country, Yue Country, and others having most of their territories overrun, the situation is unfavorable!"
"Therefore, the East Pole Celestial Venerable plans to launch a counterattack against the Demon Race soon!"
Lu Xuanji asked, "How many cultivators need to be mobilized?"
True Monarch Tianchen said, "No need for Purple Mansion cultivators, or Golden Core cultivators, just Nascent Soul True Monarchs, for a swift raid! This East Pole Token has been given to you by the East Pole Celestial Venerable, and at critical monts, it can be used to ensure survival!"
After speaking, True Monarch Tianchen vanished.
True Monarch Tianchen is just a Nascent Soul at the third layer, an inconspicuous small figure, yet he brings news of East Pole Celestial Venerable’s counterattack.
Not only True Monarch Tianchen but also other "inconspicuous" True Monarchs are walking everywhere, spreading ssages.
"Is this the East Pole Order? Peace has ended, it is ti to enter a phase of bloody fighting!"
Lu Xuanji frowned slightly.
Activating the East Pole Order, imdiately sensing a huge power surging on it, which can be triggered at critical tis, transforming into divine techniques for protection, resisting attacks from Divinity Transformation powerhouses.
With the East Pole Order as protection, even facing Divinity Transformation attacks, there’s a slim chance of survival.
Generally, Divinity Transformation powerhouses won’t attack Nascent Soul cultivators, as it’s not worthwhile.
But there are always exceptions.
The existence of the East Pole Order is to prevent certain accidents.
"Hmm, soone has reached the fourth trial!"
At this mont, Lu Xuanji suddenly sensed sothing, sat upright, awaiting sothing.
...
The void transforms, Zhao Qiweng arrives at the fourth trial.
The fourth trial tests the spirit root talent of the cultivator.
Recalling the previous three trials, emotions fluctuate.
Swish!
At this mont, he reaches the fourth trial.
Ahead stands a man, with an imposing presence like a mountain, exuding a terrifying aura, with handso features akin to an immortal.
It is True Monarch Xuanji.
"Greetings, senior!"
Zhao Qiweng said.
"Not bad, not bad." Lu Xuanji said, "On the path of cultivation, moral integrity ranks first. If a person’s integrity fails, the best talent and comprehension are but disasters. I do not wish to nurture a treacherous villain. Therefore, the first trial is an illusion realm test, assessing the cultivator’s moral integrity!"
"In the illusion realm, you have endured the test. I only hope you continue to maintain your original intentions!"
Zhao Qiweng said, "Senior, I will!"
Lu Xuanji said, "The second trial tests comprehension. In my view, comprehension is vital on the path of cultivation. Before the Golden Core, a cultivator’s talent is the main focus; but after the Golden Core, it is the comprehension of the cultivator. The further one progresses, the more important comprehension becos."
"The third trial tests destiny, mainly detecting whether a cultivator carries great destiny."
"In fact, whether an Immortal Dao disciple or Demon Sect disciple, besides cultivation the most important task is to roam the heavens and earth, searching for celestial materials and earthly treasures, ancient ruins. This is a necessary part of cultivation, known as ’collision with immortal fate’—the greater the opportunity, the deeper the immortal fate."
"Cultivators require great perseverance and determination to succeed largely. But the remaining small portion depends on luck! It’s said what people plan, heaven accomplishes! For a mortal to cultivate immortality, how difficult is it? Just relying on one’s power, it’s not easy to reverse destiny and change fate. One must have luck and immortal fate, leveraging external forces."
"This is also destiny."
Speaking of this, Lu Xuanji said, "It seems to be four trials, but actually only three core tests. As long as you pass the first three trials, reaching here to et , even with slightly inferior talent, even as a Five Spirit Root cultivator, I will still accept you as my disciple!"
"Kneel and beco my disciple!"
Zhao Qiweng was overjoyed and knelt on the ground, kowtowing loudly.
His heart was filled with excitent.
Ascending the fourth trial mont was nerve-wracking, for he possessed only an anomalous spirit root.
Anomalous spirit root appears to be decent, yet for a Nascent Soul True Monarch, it’s insignificant.
Among the cultivators taking the trials just now, there were five Celestial Spirit Roots and so special constitutions.
Like him, lacking special constitution and having average spirit root talent, he might be rejected.
Unexpectedly, the fourth trial turned out to be dispensable.
"What is your na?"
"Disciple, nad Zhao Qiweng!"
"Not bad!" Lu Xuanji laughed, "Good na! Co forward, I will check your constitution!"
"Master, there’s no need for a check, my talent is average, just a mortal body, no special constitution!" Saying this, Zhao Qiweng experienced a trace of self-doubt.
After reaching the Foundation Establishnt Realm, cultivators begin to awaken special constitutions.
Yet he reached the third layer of Foundation Establishnt without awakening a special constitution, clearly a mortal body.
But he still advanced for the check.
Lu Xuanji proceeded to check, divine thought flashing, continuously perceiving the mysteries of his body and confirming it was indeed a mortal body.
About to retract his divine thought, yet at this mont, activates a phone for scanning.
The phone activates, transmitting so ssages.
[The cultivator in front has a Longevity Body]
[The Longevity Body does not have strong attack power or abundant qi and blood, barely contributes to combat power, but possesses a long lifespan; longevity is ten tis that of cultivators of the sa realm, as long as survival persists without premature death, Longevity Body cultivators will inevitably beco immortals]
Lu Xuanji silently said, "You indeed possess a special constitution, known as Longevity Body, with an extended lifespan! Common Golden Core cultivators have a lifespan of two thousand years, yet you can live for twenty thousand years. Many Harmonization Cultivators have a lifespan less than fifty thousand years unless they beco immortals, but you have a lifespan of fifty thousand years."
"Such extended lifespan significantly raises your likelihood of becoming immortal, higher than many cultivators."
