Chapter 513 The World of Cultivation (2)
When it was time to eat, the two of them huddled in a corner like little hamsters, eating their food.
These two are both foodies, and each of them brought a super large package filled with delicious and easy-to-preserve food.
The spirit ship was very fast and eventually arrived at the recruitment area of the five major sects. Here, they would retest the spiritual roots. This time, the test would not be as hasty as the one in the mortal world. Instead, the test would determine the attributes and purity of the spiritual roots.
In addition, some individuals who slipped through the net by using special methods to pass the test will be eliminated.
Wangyou has a chaotic spiritual root, Lin Yao has a top-grade fire spiritual root, and Lin Daya has a single wood spiritual root with a root value of 80.
One possessed a chaotic spiritual root, and the other a top-grade fire spiritual root; both were geniuses one in ten thousand, and for a time, they attracted fierce competition from all sides.
After much deliberation, Wangyou chose the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and Lin Yao followed suit, feeling particularly safe by Wangyou's side.
And so, a group of children boarded the Wanjian Sect's spirit ship and arrived at the Wanjian Sect. When they arrived, Wangyou discovered that Lin Daya had also chosen the Wanjian Sect.
However, none of this had anything to do with Wangyou, because they still had one last hurdle to overcome: the Ladder of Inquiry. Only those who could climb it within six hours could be considered disciples of the Myriad Swords Sect. If they failed, they would not be allowed to enter the Myriad Swords Sect and would either be sent back or become rogue cultivators.
"Yaoyao, this mountain is so high!"
"Yes, Forget-Me-Not, when will we be able to climb up?"
"I'm hungry, let's eat before we climb," Wangyou said, suddenly having a bright idea.
"Okay." So, two little ones stood out from the group of people who were striving to climb the mountain, because while others were working hard to climb the mountain, these two were busy eating their own big bags.
"Why don't you two climb up? You know, if you don't climb up within the allotted time, you won't be able to enter the Myriad Swords Sect."
"Of course we'll climb, but we need to be well-fed to have the energy." After saying that, Wangyou ignored the person next to her and quickly finished the food in the package with Lin Yao.
Fortunately, I ate most of it in the previous few days, so finishing the rest now won't be a problem.
After eating and drinking their fill, the two children prepared to climb, while those ahead of them were already barely visible.
The two initially walked with ease and quickly caught up with the person lagging behind, but they seemed to be climbing with more difficulty.
There were 10,000 steps, but only 1,500 steps had been taken so far.
"Yaoyao, remember this: whatever you see here is fake, only the reward might be real."
“I remember, Forget Worry.” Lin Yao nodded earnestly.
The reason Wangyou said that was because she seemed to have seen a lot of delicious food just now, but it disappeared quickly, so she felt that there must be something wrong with the Ladder of Inquiry.
Before they knew it, they had reached the 5,000th step. Wangyou still didn't react much, but Lin Yao was tired.
"Wangyou, you go first. I'll try my best to climb up." Seeing the situation, Lin Yao quickly told her friend to go first.
"Okay, I'll go up first. If you haven't come up in half an hour, I'll come down to find you."
"No, no, no, I'm sure I can get up there. We're going to be best friends for life," Lin Yao quickly said.
"Alright then, I'll go first. Good luck." Wangyou stopped putting pressure on her friend and moved around quickly with her short legs, as if the gravity on the Ladder of Inquiry didn't exist for her.
"This must be the little girl with the Chaos Spiritual Root. She's truly extraordinary."
"This girl can withstand ten times the gravity and is unaffected by illusions. She's definitely a promising talent for learning formations!" the Array Peak Master said with a smile.
"What a promising talent for cultivating array formations! He has mastered all five elements; he's a perfect candidate for alchemy."
"Stop arguing, I think she's very suitable for learning swordsmanship, so let her come to my Sword Peak!"
They argued back and forth, neither willing to give in.
Wangyou was twice as fast, and those illusions could only distract her for a moment, so she didn't stop walking and quickly overtook countless people.
As Wangyou passed by Lin Daya, she glanced at her. The person was lost in an illusion, and no one knew what she was seeing. She was smiling in a very lewd way. Wangyou shook her head.
She quickly reached the top, passing by the people trapped in the illusion. Excluding the time she spent eating, it only took her an hour.
"Has no one come up yet?"
"Junior Sister was the first one to come up."
Is there a reward for the first person to come up?
"Of course, you can choose a master yourself."
"And what about the second and third place?"
"Those ranked between two and tenth might be accepted as disciples by the True Lords."
"Thank you, senior. May I wait here for my friend?"
"of course can."
The senior brother then walked to the side, while Wangyou stared down the long staircase.
She found the patterns on the steps quite pretty, but that was about it.
Bored and listless, Wangyou sat there drowsy, actually already asleep.
Lin Yao was the sixth to come up. Seeing that Wangyou was sleeping, she didn't disturb her friend. Instead, she sat down next to Wangyou, and the two children fell asleep in perfect sync.
"These two little brats are so cute! They have great attitudes and high talent. Sect Master, surely I can get one of them this time!"
"Sect Master, I want one too! Our peak doesn't even have a girl. I finally managed to ask, so I should get one too," the Peak Master of Weapon Peak couldn't help but say.
"Let's not argue, let's each rely on our own abilities!" The sect leader made the final decision; he wanted it too, didn't he?
Six hours is neither a long nor a short time, and Lin Daya only stepped onto the last step at the very last second, which shows how lucky she was.
Lin Daya had initially seen herself being pampered by powerful figures and showered with treasures in the illusion, but she soon discovered that it was just a dream, and she almost missed the chance to enter the immortal sect to cultivate.
Lin Daya searched for her target in the crowd and quickly found the drowsy Lin Yao and Wangyou. Her gaze towards Lin Yao was filled with determination.
She always felt that the life in the illusion should be her life, and Lin Yao was her first stepping stone.
As for Wangyou, no one appeared in the illusion, so Lin Daya didn't care. What she needed to do now was to build a good relationship with Lin Yao and ask her if she really had that bead.
Wangyou was awakened by this strange gaze. Looking over, she found it was Lin Daya, but her gaze was somewhat frightening. Moreover, the gaze wasn't directed at her, but at Lin Yao next to her. Wangyou immediately blocked her gaze and woke Lin Yao up in the process.
It was just announced that those with single spiritual roots, double spiritual roots, mutated spiritual roots, and the Chaos Spiritual Root of Forgetfulness were singled out, while the rest became outer disciples.
Wangyou and the other twelve children followed their senior sister into the main hall, where they were greeted by several strange-looking uncles and aunts who looked like child traffickers trying to trick children on the street.
