"How can this be!" Jas could not stop these words from leaving his mouth as his face turned ashen. He had never thought much of this eldest senior brother disciple of his. The latter was not as talented as himself and was also lacking in ambition, soone who tried to be on good terms with everyone else. Hence, Jas never really respected the forr, the only thought he had was to replace this senior brother's position once he grew stronger.
Over the years, Jas was only ever able to achieve 4 paths of ablution each ti, a result that always fell short of Jas's own. Hence he never imagined that Mubarak would actually reach 6 paths of ablution this ti.
One must know that basically, only the chief disciples of each peak would achieve 6 paths of ablution, people that even soone as capable as Jas felt he had no hopes of catching up to.
"But how? How had Mubarak done it?!" Jas's expression fluctuated indeterminately, his heart filled with anger, fear and alarm. "How lucky was he in the energy reservoir?!" He gritted his teeth, a dark look in his eyes.
While Jas's emotions were churning, many other disciples in the vicinity also discovered the 6 paths around Mubarak and imdiately gasped in surprise.
A 6th path was just far too rare amongst the diamond belt disciples and was usually only reserved for those few chief disciples, a group that Mubarak was not part of. As such, they began to ask around, and soon found out his identity,
Astonishnt filled their faces when they discovered Mubarak was from the Alchemic faction of Alchemic Rune Peak. After all, Alchemic Rune Peak had reached rock bottom in the Spirit Devouring Mountain, and no one really paid any attention to them. But now, Mubarak had beco an overnight sensation. Not to ntion, his main focus was on alchemy, not martial prowess, what kind of amazing luck did he have in the energy reservoir?
No matter what, Mubarak's na was sure to spread today. When the other disciples in the sect ntioned him in the future, they would know that there was a disciple in the Alchemic faction of Alchemic Rune Peak that achieved 6 paths of ablution.
The altar was abuzz with excitent, the majority of the disciples wearing a satisfied look on their faces. It was clear that this baptism had allowed them to progress in their cultivation.
Elder Rilda stood in the air. Upon seeing that everyone was done, she waved her hand and said, "Leave if you're done."
The nurous disciples hastily rose to their feet and began leaving in succession after cupping their fists together towards her. The ablution altar soon beca empty again.
Mubarak returned with an excited look on his face, as several disciples approached to congratulate him.
"I did not expect senior brother Mubarak to be good at concealing your capabilities. I wonder how he managed to obtain so many crystals in the energy reservoir." Jas's expression was sowhat ugly as he returned. Mubarak truly perford splendidly this ti and drew nurous gazes towards him even till now. This made Jas rather jealous, and his words rather biting.
Mubarak knew that Jas was unhappy, but could not be bothered with the latter. The forr rely looked towards Ezra with a smile of gratitude.
Ezra returned the gesture with a smile of his own. Those Duct Creation Energy crystals had been his leftovers and were of little use to himself. In contrast, they were extrely beneficial to Mubarak. But the real reason was not that Ezra had beco a generous man, he was the opposite, a vicious man only true to himself and his goals.
Jas grew even angrier when he realised he was being ignored by Mubarak. He followed the latter's gaze and saw Ezra, causing him to smile superficially as he said, "Ezra, it's your turn next."
"It wasn't easy for senior brother senior brother Mubarak to gain a little prestige for us, so don't go throwing it all away later."
Jas was almost certain that Ezra had a hard ti hunting duct beast in the energy reservoir, and would at best achieve 3 paths of ablution.
An ablution of that level was a waste of Duct Creation Energy.
Ezra Zephyr rely swept a glance at Jas and chuckled softly.
At this mont, Elder Rilda spoke once again, "The diamond belt disciples' ablution is done, next…"
She paused, feeling sowhat ridiculous. The ablution should be over at this juncture, but there was an additional Ezra Zephyr this ti. As the only gold belt disciple to enter the energy reservoir, he was the last to have his turn.
She looked towards the prince and said, "It's your turn, Ezra Zephyr."
Every gaze in the area converged towards this very spot, most of them filled with amusent. After all, what could a gold belt disciple possibly achieve in the energy reservoir?
On one of the mountains, Ella Abella's eyes opened, a sliver of interest within them as she looked towards the youthful figure far away.
Wilson Sallow's eyes were cold and indifferent. The corners of his lips curled slightly, clearly not the least bit concerned about Ezra Zephyr.
In a location near Ezra and the gang, Aila smiled as she cast her gaze over, her voice sowhat gloating.
"Looks like we'll be seeing the lowest level ablution in history…"
***
Around the energy reservoir, countless gazes were cast over in amusent, ultimately converging on a certain peak where Ezra Zephyr was currently standing.
According to the rules of the sect, only diamond belt disciples had the qualifications to enter the energy reservoir to find Duct Creation Energy, and subsequently complete the ablution.
Ezra was only a gold belt disciple, but as the most recent champion of the peak selection ceremony, they had made an exception for him this once, and bestowed upon him the opportunity to participate in the current Divine Spirit Ablution, an exception that most diamond belt disciples did not mind.
Because all of them clearly understood that entering the reservoir was the easy part. The true challenge lay in hunting the duct beasts inside and obtaining Duct Creation Energy
