For the third test, Feixue didn’t have any problems whatsoever. It was a potential test, where they tested the bloodline, constitution, and heart of cultivators. For the bloodline and constitution tests, Feixue approached a platform with a few crystals. The person standing by the crystal looked at Feixue and asked. “Do you know how they function?”
When she was about to nod her head, Yasenia interrupted. ‘Ask them about it. There might be so peculiarities.’
There was so sense in those words. Hence, she changed her words. “Actually, I’ve seen sothing similar in the past. I am unsure if they are the sa, though. So, I’d love a small explanation of the details I need to take into account, Senior.”
The young man with a calm face looked at Feixue with a hint of appreciation and nodded. “Listen well, then. As you must know, there are different levels for beast bloodlines, the sa being true for beast humans and humans. The nas will remind you of those used for beasts, since they’ve been taken as the inspiration. Of course, as you must be aware, the special qualities of Human bloodlines do not appear until you beco a respected immortal.”
That was common sense, so Luan Feixue nodded. “I am aware of that. Beast bloodlines go as such: Mortal, Beastly, Magical, King, Monarch, Mystical, Legendary, Mythical, Divine, Ancient, and Immortal. Although there are so beasts with a hint of Primordial Beast Bloodline, the purity is less than 5%.”
The man smiled and nodded. “Junior Sister is knowledgeable. Human bloodlines go similarly. The lowest being the ones that differ from the others. These bloodlines rank, from weakest to strongest, as Commoner, followed by Noble, King, Emperor, Sovereign, Legendary, Mythical, Divine, Immortal, and those who are born with incredible strength, Godkin.”
“Godkins!” Luan Feixue exclaid, her gaze filled with respect. Still, she was sowhat confused. “But, Senior, aren’t Godkins extinct? From the books I’ve read, their ability to reproduce was so scarce that their numbers decreased naturally with ti. Now, their descendants have diluted bloodlines incomparable to the past.”
“That’s natural.” The senior brother smiled. “If a Godkin human existed in our Heaven, they would beco the king of our Heavenly Layer as long as they reached maturity. Their strength is comparable to ancient dragons.”
Seeing the thoughtful expression of the dark-haired and dark-eyed girl, he smiled and spoke. “Now, please place your hands here. We’ll determine your bloodline and constitution levels.”
The dragoness humd with interest after hearing all of that. ‘It is not different from the information that Mirrory bombarded
with before I left. Mirrory’s knowledge cos from higher levels of Heaven, so I am probably in a very strong Exalted Heaven, or a low to mid-level Subli Heaven.’
If she were in a Subli Heaven, that would an that Demigod and Law Creator Cultivators existed. Such existences were truly too dangerous. ‘What to do… Well, I’ll wait for the two years to pass quickly before I go out and explore. Perhaps, I can also beco part of this sect as a teacher.’
“Not bad.” The voice of the youth pulled Yasenia from her thoughts. “You have quite a pure Mythical Human bloodline and Divine Human Constitution! Is Junior Sister from a noble family? Such rare levels of human bloodline are scarce.”
Humans of the sa level as beasts had very powerful innate abilities. These abilities could help punch a level or two above. So, even if they fought with just their original strength, a beast of the sa level would have trouble fighting a human of the sa bloodline level.
Of course, that was only true in the lower ranks of the beast spectrum. Once the beast's bloodline rank reached certain heights, like Divine and above, the beast would also gain intelligence, evening the scales.
Luan Feixue scratched her head and smiled with so reluctance. “I am not from a noble family. Xuefei is just lucky to be born to talented parents.”
“Oh!” The Senior Brother smiled. “You are indeed blessed. Now, please move on to test your heart’s strength. Junior Sister Xuefei must have a strong will with such noble bloodlines.”
The dragoness looked at Feixue’s wry smile as she moved forth and sighed. ‘I should give her a hand.’
Feixue failing the tests would not benefit Yasenia in any way. Even if she needed to show reluctance before keeping her position in her heart, now she couldn’t wait for things to go awry before interfering. So, Yasenia spoke up.
“Luan Feixue. You shouldn’t underestimate yourself. Your heart demons are not weak. However, you are not a helpless girl. You’ve gained strength, you’ve gained my support, and you are about to get the backing of an immortal sect. Be proud. You are no longer the helpless little girl I found, but soone with trendous potential.”
The girl paused, her eyes flashing with many emotions. It had not been long since she t the dragon living in her Beast Pocket. However, her life seed to have made a 180. Her body was now healthy, her nightmares had been reduced to mories, and with the new paths she had been offered, her future was indeed boundless.
With that in mind, her face hardened, and she stepped into the formation. Yasenia was unable to accompany her inside the test, so she just observed her from the outside. Seconds went by, as inside, each second was equal to 1 hour of torturous ti facing Heart Demons.
For the test to be successful, the cultivator needed to be able to face their heart demons head-on for a day. ‘24 seconds minimum… Can she do it?’
In the 15th second, Yasenia saw a trail of blood drip from Feixue’s nose, worrying her. ‘Co on, girl. Nine more seconds’
The blood began falling from both nostrils, and her body started trembling. During the 20th second, even her teeth were chattering, and by the 22nd second, blood tears slipped past her closed eyes. The judge who was checking saw her state and frowned. ‘That girl’s heart is too weak.’ Then, he walked over to tell the person maintaining the formation to stop.
However, Yasenia knew that Feixue could pass it. So, when she saw that judge opening their mouth, her mind started processing things at incredible speed, making ti flow much slower. In that instant, the dragoness thought of many things, and eventually, she scratched her head and sighed. ‘Ugh… little girl, you better thank
later.’
Her aura slipped out in very small amounts, but that allowed her to freeze the fifth-ranked cultivator for the remaining two seconds. The cultivator was baffled, unsure which immortal had stopped him. Nevertheless, he didn’t dare resist. After all, the one doing it must’ve been a teacher in the sect. ‘Is there soone protecting the little girl?’
He didn’t think much more because the restriction was lifted 2 seconds later. Looking at the girl’s state, he reacted quickly and shouted. “Turn off the formation!”
“Done!”
Feixue's eyelids flew open, and she took a deep breath as if she was suffocating. The whites of her eyes had changed to be completely red as she looked around anxiously. “W-Where am I? Where is this?”
The inspector approached with a frown. “Relax, you are in—”
“GET AWAY!” Luan Feixue slapped his hand, crawling backwards while looking at the man nervously. Yasenia spoke softly and slowly in her mind. ‘Feixue, you are okay. This is a test. You are in the Star Immortal Sect. You were taking a Heart Demon test. Now, you are fine. You are fine, Feixue. You are safe.’
The llow, rich, and alluring voice cald her nerves, and soon, she recovered so of her bearing. Rembering what she did, she smiled apologetically. “I-I am sorry, senior. I was too flustered and reacted on instinct.”
The man frowned and crossed his arms. “Honestly, you’ve barely passed this test. Your heart is very weak and needs work! Once you are admitted, focus on resolving the knots that are haunting you. Tell whoever is in charge of you about it, too; they will help you with ditation thods and other teachings.”
Feixue nodded like a pecking chicken, her body still trembling from the aftereffects. Seeing her honest figure, the man didn’t have the heart to be much harsher, and he sighed. “Great. Now clean your face and go. You’ve passed the tests.”
Without delay, Feixue approached the area where the people who passed the tests gathered. Still, her bearing was much different from before. Instead of the free-spirited and honest girl, she was showing a gloomy and silent mood. Yasenia didn’t say anything and let her be.
There were a few more tests after the third. However, these were to classify cultivators. Who was talented in alchemy, who was talented in fighting, etc.
Feixue ended up in the combat division, showing her incredible potential as a fighter. While all cultivators needed to know how to fight, not many were qualified to rank as combat disciples. It was quite an honor for those chosen to enter this branch of the sect.
“Congratulations. You’ve made it.”
The dragoness’s words snapped Feixue out of her daze. After that Heart Demon test, the rest went by in a blur. She didn’t even realize that all the tests had finished, and she qualified. “That’s… Right. I’ve made it.”
A small smile appeared on her stiff lips, and a sense of relief and happiness filled her body. With it, the gloomy aura she carried was reduced by more than half. “So… Where is Shen Miao?”
Yasenia answered her. “From what I’ve seen, she has entered the Formation Master section. It is a sha, but you both will be temporarily separated.”
“Oh…” A touch of sadness flashed in Feixue’s eyes. “What about the man?”
“That Xiang guy?”
Feixue laughed wryly. “Xing Luo. Not Xiang.”
“Whatever. They are so similar either way, it should count.” Then, she answered. “He has also entered the formation branch. It seems that Shen Miao and Xing Luo are quite fated~. Fufufu~.”
Luan Feixue smiled awkwardly. “Right. They truly seem to be fated.”
Looking around, she noticed that while she was in a daze, everyone had already made groups and gotten to know each other. ‘Ah… I am alone…’
Thankfully, she had Yasenia with her. So, she didn’t mind that much. ‘Still, there must be so team missions and activities, so having a group of friends or at least acquaintances is sothing I need…’
As she was thinking about it, Star Forge Lady appeared again and smiled at the group of youths. “Welco to the Star Immortal Sect. You will be the combat division, and this year, I will be the one teaching all of you. Now, I will choose a personal disciple among you. The one I think has the greatest potential.”
Her gaze swept everyone, and the young people stiffened under her powerful gaze. Eventually, though, it ended on top of Feixue and smirked. “Xuefei will be my personal disciple this year. Greet Master.”
“Eh?” Luan Feixue had a baffled expression as everyone looked over with jealous eyes. Star Forge Lady appeared in front of her with a raised eyebrow. “What? Is it that you are dissatisfied with being chosen by ? If so, you can reject it.”
“Ah! Nononono! This little girl is very honored!” Her words were so fast that she almost stuttered. Going to one knee, Feixue shouted, quite excited. “This disciple greets Master!”
But when she spoke those words, she heard a clearly dissatisfied snorting sound inside her soul. ‘Oh… I already had a master…’ Her back beca covered in cold sweat. ‘I ssed up.’
