Chapter 1546 Differences in Tao Aura

What? You say you’ve met the Mighty King?

The tall, sturdy man heard his words, and his face became instantly alarmed.

That’s right. At the time when I heard him say that he intended to ransack the Heaven Palace Sect’s treasure house, I rushed up to him, wanting to stop him immediately. But, unfortunately, I was a step too late. He had teleported and left. If I’m not wrong, he is now already in the treasure house.
Xu Que looked full of regret.

Dmn, why didn’t you say so earlier?
The tall, sturdy man stared at Xu Que, extremely annoyed.

But you didn’t ask.
Xu Que retorted self-righteously.

You…
The tall, sturdy man suddenly stopped arguing with Xu Que and said,
Forget about it. It’s still not too late. I’ll report the matter to the Elders. You’d better hurry to the martial arts training field. If I can catch the Mighty King this time, I’ll cite you for meritorious service.



Having said that, the tall, sturdy man left in a hurry and completely forgot about his job guarding the main gate.
It went without saying that capturing Buttface seemed more important than guarding the main gate.
With the present status of the Heaven Palace Sect, it was irrelevant whether the main gate was guarded or not. In the Heaven Continent of this era, perhaps no one would dare to directly crash the Heaven Palace Sect’s main gate. The reason why the tall, sturdy man was here was probably only to receive and greet the cultivators who were attending the recruitment congregation.
However, the corners of Xu Que’s mouth curled up into a smirk as he watched the tall, sturdy man go.
The wheels in his mind turned, and he summoned the System interface, from which he retrieved a few small objects.
WHOOSH!
The few small objects he’d retrieved suddenly turned into a flowing light and swept around the main gate to merge into the spell formation on the ground. The Mountain’s protective spell at the main gate wobbled a little. The movement was minimal, and absolutely no one noticed.

Done, I can now have some fun with peace of mind!
Xu Que smiled. He turned around and walked briskly in the direction of the martial arts training field.
He didn’t need anyone else to lead the way for him in this place. He’d been here once tens of thousands of years from now. At that time, this place had been holding a Chosen by Heaven Ceremony, and he’d come here and stolen the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi .
But Xu Que was shocked now as he returned to this slightly familiar place.


When he’d first entered this place previously, even though everything was still sparkling and intact, it had appeared empty and desolate with a pervasive sense of lifeless isolation.
The large Heaven Palace Sect had by now only consisted of a dozen old Celestial Kings and Celestial Primes who he’d released by lifting a seal.
But the Heaven Palace Sect that he was visiting today, which actually was tens of thousands of years ago, was at its peak period. Even Xuanyuan Wanrong had not yet fully grown up, but this Heaven Palace Sect had already controlled and ruled the Heaven Continent by force. They were a single large entity, looking down disdainfully on the whole world.
When Xu Que had first heard of this, he hadn’t believed it. Now that he had personally witnessed it, he was totally stunned.
Just passing through the main gate and stepping in the direction of the martial arts training field, Xu Que had already seen hundreds of Heaven Palace Sect disciples at the Taiyi Genuine Celestial Stage.

What are those guys doing?

Come on, it looks like they’re sweeping the floors and wiping the building clean.

Next to him was a man who was a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, who was obviously a supervisor. He would expressionlessly berate them from time to time.

What’s wrong with you. Do you know how to sweep? Do you know how to wipe?

How can my Heaven Palace Sect produce a group of useless individuals like you? You can’t even kill and behead 100 Demonic Beasts of the same cultivation in ten days. The other several hundreds of disciples who were admitted at the same period as you have at least cut off 150 heads. There are also ten outstanding disciples who have subdued and killed more than 800 Demonic Beasts.



You should ask yourselves honestly: Do you feel ashamed? Are you worthy of the cultivation the Heaven Palace Sect has given you?

The Elders have sealed your cultivation and punished you for your own good, so that you can cultivate your state of mind and have the opportunity to comprehend a higher Tao Aura…

…..
Listening to the words of this man at the Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven stage, the 100 Taiyi Genuine Celestial disciples bowed their heads in shame.
When Xu Que passed by them, he also bowed his head and almost cried just listening to it.

Dmn, was the Heaven Palace Sect so evil tens of thousands of years ago?

However, as he walked farther, Xu Que saw another 100 disciples at the Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven stage who went from controlling magic weapons to transforming into streams of light to fly across the sky in a great hurry.
Behind the group of disciples at the Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven stage, there was someone at the Celestial King stage, wearing a black-and-green robe who appeared to be an elite disciple cultivator. He was chasing after them.

Senior Brother, have mercy, we admit defeat for this assessment,
the 100 Golden Celestials of the Great All-Embracing Heaven shouted as they fled.

Yes, Senior Brother, we are from the third-class compound. How strong can we be? Can’t you spare some feeling for us?



The elite Celestial King snorted,
The Elders have orders that the criterion for you people from the third-class compound is ten moves. If you can’t even withstand ten moves from me, you have to continue with the assessment. Those who are hit hard will be demoted into the fourth-class compound.


Come on!

Xu Que looked at the scene and just wanted to vomit blood.

The criterion was ten moves from a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven? And that was just the criterion of the third-class compound?

Further up the ranks would be the second-class compound and the first-class compound. Would those Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven disciples not be more powerful?

Holy sht!

As Xu Que walked along, he increased his knowledge. After all, he really couldn’t see where he would have fit in in this era.
There were so many Taiyi Celestials and Celestials of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, as well as so many elite disciples of the Celestial King stage. The key was that the strength of these people was far more powerful than those cultivators of the same cultivation stage in later generations.

Even the Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven who had guarded the main gate earlier was so strong, Xu Que had realized that it would have been almost a 30-70 split between them if he hadn’t been able to launch the System’s retaliatory mechanism.

Of course, he would be 70 and the other guy 30. The odds of winning would still be high. But compared to those Golden Celestials of the Great All-Embracing Heaven who he’d killed easily with one move, the main gate guard had seemed very strong.




Fellow cultivator, you’re in the wrong place!
At this time, a voice came from not far away.
Xu Que stared blankly for a moment and looked over to the voice. A slender young man, clad in a blue shirt, was talking to him.
Over there is the assessment area for the Taiyi Celestial Stage. Our Celestial Stage of the Great All-Embracing Heaven assessment area is over here.

When Xu Que heard this, he realized that he’d indeed gone the wrong way since he’d been in kind of a daze.
He had unwittingly come to the martial arts training field. The ground was also marked with the assessment areas for various cultivation stages. There were three areas. There were respectively: the Taiyi Celestial Stage area, the Celestial Stage of the Great All-Embracing Heaven area, as well as the Celestial King stage area.
In other words, the lowest cultivation stage requirement for this recruitment of new disciples was the Taiyi Celestial Stage.
And the slender young man’s position was in the assessment area of the Celestial Stage of the Great All-Embracing Heaven. At this time, thousands of cultivators had gathered there.

Thank you, fellow cultivator.
Since the other party had kindly called his attention to it, Xu Que cupped his hands in thanks with a smile.

No problem, who knows, maybe after today, we may be in the same sect.
The slender young man casually waved his hand, while also sizing up Xu Que. The corners of his mouth ticked up as he asked,
How should I address you, fellow cultivator?


Slayer Lord of the Exploding Heavens Faction.
Xu Que maintained his polite and refined image. He cupped his hands in reply,
What do I call your distinguished self?


Hey, don’t be so formal. Just call me Ah Qi!
The slender young man said with a smile.
Xu Que originally hadn’t felt that the slender young man was anything special. But when the other party smiled, Xu Que couldn’t help staring blankly for a moment. This smiling expression was inexplicably a little familiar, as if they’d known each other but he couldn’t remember where he’d seen him.

Crp, can this be someone I’ll know tens of thousands of years from now?

But among the people I know, it doesn’t seem there’s someone with the name Ah Qi.


Brother Slayer, the force that you belong to seems a little unusual. The name Exploding Heavens Faction is cheeky to dare to despise the heavenly law. I, Ah Qi, have walked the World of Cultivators for so many years, but I’ve never heard of this name for a force,
Ah Qi said, chuckling.

It’s only a small faction. It’s normal that Brother Qi wouldn’t know of it.
Xu Que politely responded with a smile. His mind was still trying to recall this guy’s identity.
However, as he turned it over his mind, he couldn’t think of where he’d known this guy at all.
Ah Qi didn’t realize that Xu Que was distracted. He continued warmly,
All right, Slayer brother, don’t just stand here. I’ll take you to that side to report. I’ve just arrived not long ago myself. Wait till I’m done with my assessment. It’ll be your turn after.

Having said that, he turned around and walked toward the crowd, leading the way for Xu Que.
Xu Que looked ahead and saw a wooden table placed there. An old man at the Celestial Prime stage was sitting there, staring at the central position within the crowd.
After a while, the old man started to speak without any expression and with a tone of indifference,
Three stage for Tao Aura, basic level.

PFFT!
Xu Que almost laughed out loud. Such a familiar line.
He quickly swept his eyes to the center of the crowd. All he could see was a young man with his head bowed and his fists clenched as he faced other people’s mocking gazes. The young man’s face fully revealed that he was not resigned.

30 years…
The young man opened his mouth.
Xu Que was taken aback. Could it be…

Give me another 30 years and I will be able to enter the Heaven Palace Sect.
With that, the young man directly turned around to squeeze his way through the crowd and left in anger.
Only then did Xu Que breathe a sigh of relief.
Dmn, I thought he was going to shout out that popular phrase, do not bully the poor, from the online fiction circle of those days.


Alas, the threshold for Tao Aura to enter the Heaven Palace Sect is too high.
At this time, Ah Qi sighed with regret.
When Xu Que heard it, he couldn’t help but snap back to attention.
Yes, the Heaven Palace Sect of this time recruited cultivators who had to be at least of the Taiyi Celestial Stage and above. To be able to cultivate to this stage, the spiritual root aptitude had to be superior. And now, what criteria are they using for the assessment?
Tao Aura?
Are there differences in Tao Aura?
