Chapter 1152: Chapter 1152: The Might of the Nascent Soul
The servant disciples don’t need to undergo testing; as long as they have so cultivation, it’s fine, since they’re just here to work.
But this ti, all the servants are required to test their cultivation, which made them overjoyed, thinking they might be selected from among their ranks to beco official disciples.
When Chen Nan received the news, he instantly saw through Master Xuanming’s intentions; it was clear he wanted to see if there were any hidden assassins among the servant disciples.
"I wonder if I can get through this unnoticed," Chen Nan frowned deeply, filled with worry.
Although he had two breath concealing techniques, the "Life and Death Technique" and "Concealing Technique," which could hide his aura, it wasn’t certain he could evade the testing stone.
Following the other servants, Chen Nan reluctantly left the Spirit Plant Garden, anxious inside. Since Master Xuanming suspected the presence of hidden assassins among the servants, he would surely send soone to watch.
If his cultivation was exposed during testing, he would surely face death, especially as this was within Yuantian Sect’s territory.
Worried, Chen Nan imrsed his mind over his Dantian; with continuous diligent cultivation over ti, his Golden Core seed to have grown slightly larger.
Inside the Golden Core, the Jianmu was slowly growing, the branches bearing sparse leaves representing various Spirit Roots.
But Chen Nan believed that as long as he continued to perfect his Myriad Phenona Golden Core, absorbing more Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects to transform them into Spirit Roots, the Jianmu would thrive.
After pondering for a mont, a thought suddenly ca to Chen Nan. The Golden Core slowly rotated, and with each turn, his mana grew more abundant. Essentially, the Spirit Roots were absorbing nature’s spiritual energy.
Chen Nan’s Spirit Roots were based on the Five Elents; as the Five Elents moved and interacted, they allowed him to absorb nature’s spiritual energy several tis to even ten tis faster than other cultivators.
But what would happen if the Five Elents reversed?
Seeing he still had so distance to the servants’ quarters, Chen Nan decided to try it out. With a thought, his Five Elents Spirit Roots suddenly released a misty glow.
A spinning wheel phantom appeared within the Golden Core, carrying the power of the Five Elents, but at this mont, it suddenly reversed.
Instantly, Chen Nan felt his cultivation rapidly decreasing, even his Golden Core dimd, filling him with joy.
"So that’s how it is!"
The natural movent of the Five Elents could continuously boost cultivation, but their reversal could suppress cultivation, even causing it to regress.
Now, Chen Nan felt confident.
Yet, the Wain Elder who announced the ssage suddenly glanced in Chen Nan’s direction, despite not having high cultivation, he seed to sense a powerful aura for a mont.
But that aura quickly subsided, leading him to think it was just his imagination.
"It must be an illusion. If such a powerful cultivator truly existed, why would they be content to be a servant disciple?" The Outer Elder chuckled and shook his head.
When Chen Nan returned to the servant disciples’ quarters, the testing had already begun, and all servant disciples had to step up to touch the testing stone and reveal their true cultivation.
Most of the servant disciples were at the First or Second Layer of the Foundation Establishnt Realm, with cultivators at the Third Layer being rare. It wasn’t long before it was Chen Nan’s turn.
Placing his palm on the testing stone, it imdiately emitted a five-colored light, but all the colors were very dim.
A disciple of Master Xuanming, seeing this, couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow and mockingly remarked, "So it’s a Five Elents Spirit Root? That’s even rarer than a single Spirit Root."
It was well known that the more Spirit Roots one had, the harder cultivation beca, and Five Elents Spirit Roots were extrely rare, widely deed as useless.
Another person laughed and said, "Regardless, he’s just a servant disciple, no need to mind."
"Move along quickly, don’t hold up the others’ tests."
Seeing this, Chen Nan knew he had successfully passed this ti. Pretending to be fearful, he stepped back, and soon after was taken back to the Spirit Plant Garden to work.
Although the work was tiring, he really liked it because the Spirit Plant Garden contained many rare Spiritual dicines, which were a temptation for him.
"As expected of Yuantian Sect, these precious Spiritual dicines, if used for Alchemy, could produce so many Elixir Pills?"
However, he didn’t directly pick them, as he hadn’t yet completed his assassination plan.
While calculating what Elixir Pills these Spiritual dicines could make, he suddenly felt a heavy pressure drop, locking even the air, making it suffocating.
The surrounding wind stopped, and the noise vanished.
Looking up, he saw a massive finger erging from the clouds, its lines made up of runes, descending fiercely with Heaven and Earth’s Power.
The target was precisely where the servant disciples were having their cultivation tested!
Chen Nan’s face changed, sensing an ominous foreboding.
The giant finger fell without an earth-shattering sound, nor did it cause any physical tremor, almost as if it had no impact.
Yet the ripples from its fingertip, visible to the naked eye, were like a gale, blowing dust even into the Spirit Plant Garden, reaching Chen Nan.
As the giant finger dissipated, the lingering waves filled Chen Nan with deep alarm, srizing Yuantian Sect’s many disciples, who stared blankly at where it vanished.
The one who acted had controlled the power perfectly, achieving the result without harming even a single flower or blade of grass, showcasing control over mana of exquisite mastery.
The one who acted must be a Nascent Soul Realm expert!
Chen Nan felt waves of emotion. Even though it wasn’t his first ti witnessing a Nascent Soul Cultivator act, this ti, the shock was far greater than before.
It wasn’t until the other servant disciples returned that Chen Nan learned what had happened.
It turned out that among the servant disciples, soone with Third Layer of Golden Core Realm cultivation had been detected, and upon exposure, they went on a killing spree.
Over a dozen disciples sent by Master Xuanming were instantly slain.
But unfortunately, this was Yuantian Sect, ho to a dozen Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. A Golden Core Realm powerhouse couldn’t stir up a storm here.
That massive finger earlier, rumored to be personally cast by Master Xuanming, squashed the Golden Core cultivator like a bug.
Chen Nan understood, that it was indeed a peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivator like Master Xuanming whose action was so awe-inspiring.
The discovered Golden Core Realm cultivator was suspected to be an assassin from Yama Hall. How unlucky; they got discovered within just a few days.
With the assassin exposed, Yuantian Sect returned to calm, and Chen Nan refrained from taking any further action.
But he kept observing Ei Peak, as according to Lin Qingzhu’s intelligence, the remaining three direct disciples of Master Xuanming lived there with him.
Chen Nan wasn’t holding back; he was waiting for the right opportunity.
