Chapter 15 Ascension to Heaven Palace
Soaring through the air, he conjured the air itself, and the air currents transformed into various shapes in Jiang Yuan's hands—swords, spears, and clubs—moving at will.
"Magic is so much fun."
Jiang Yuan laughed, saying that achieving supernatural powers made him happier than any other form of entertainment.
Moreover, he is even stronger than those in ordinary supernatural realms.
In ordinary supernatural realms, when one cultivates to the first level of magical power, one only possesses the strength of seventy or eighty Xuanhuang horses.
And as soon as he broke through, he possessed the power of ninety-nine Xuanhuang horses.
That's not all; his physical strength is also equivalent to that of ninety-nine Xuanhuang horses.
For disciples of other ordinary supernatural realms, having a physical strength of twenty or thirty bolts of strength would be considered exceptionally gifted.
Of course, he has cheat codes; ordinary people can't compare to him.
After all, his combat power had just doubled again, reaching the strength of 198 Xuanhuang horses.
"After I broke through to the Divine Power Realm, according to the rules of the Feathered Ascension Sect, I can directly become a true disciple."
Jiang Yuan smiled, unaware that three days later he and Fang Han would be participating in the inner disciple assessment.
He suddenly took a step in mid-air and chanted, "I will become a supernatural being!" What kind of scene was that?
However, Jiang Yuan did not actually do that. Instead, he went out now and headed towards the main hall of the Inner Immortal Academy.
After becoming a true disciple, one can begin to cultivate the supernatural powers provided by the sect.
Supernatural powers are divided into minor supernatural powers, major supernatural powers, and supreme supernatural powers.
In general, in a supernatural realm, being able to cultivate even one decent minor supernatural ability is considered good luck.
However, the Feathered Ascension Sect offers a free Great Divine Power upon your breakthrough to the Divine Power Realm, along with cultivation pills, the True Inheritance Peak territory, and a multitude of servants—everything you need is provided.
You can brag to Fang Han anytime, but becoming a true disciple is better the sooner the better.
Inner Immortal Courtyard.
After finishing with the last disciple who came to submit his assessment quota for the day, the elders of the Feathered Ascension Sect leisurely brewed tea and drank it on the white jade table.
"Speaking of which, this assessment for inner disciple positions has produced quite a few talented individuals."
An elder with white hair and a youthful face said with a smile.
"So what? It was the same every year. Thousands of outer disciples got the spots for the inner disciple assessment, and what was the result?"
"Three hundred died, and several hundred more were rescued from unconsciousness. In the end, only one or two hundred outer disciples could become inner disciples."
A beautiful elderly woman shook her head.
The assessment for inner disciples is more than ten times more difficult and more dangerous than that for outer disciples.
The outer disciple assessment only requires defeating a subterranean demon puppet; anyone with the strength of the sixth level of the physical body realm can easily pass.
However, the assessment for inner disciples is different.
It took place in an outer space.
The space there was artificially torn apart by the Supreme Master, and it was turned into the Heavenly Demon Battlefield.
Outer disciples need to survive there for ten days, withstand the invasion of the Heavenly Demon, and even subdue the Heavenly Demon to strengthen their spirit in order to pass the inner disciple test.
Because after reaching the peak of the physical body realm, if a cultivator wants to break through to the supernatural power realm, they must hone their spirit to the extreme in order to open the gate of supernatural powers and convert it into magical power.
"But among this batch of outer disciples, one will definitely pass the test and become an inner disciple."
The white-haired, youthful-looking elder suddenly sighed with envy.
The other elders also had a hint of envy in their eyes. Although they were called elders, they were actually only at the peak of the Physical Body Realm.
He was very authoritative among the outer disciples, but less so among the inner disciples, let alone among the true disciples.
Only the elders of the Divine Realm, who are called the Great Elders, can be considered true elders of the Feathered Ascension Sect.
"The Yin-Yang Longevity Pill."
As they pondered, a familiar figure suddenly appeared before them.
Jiang Yuan floated, supported by an air dragon, and smiled at the elders, saying, "Elders."
"I have attained supernatural powers; may I inform the Grand Elder of this?"
"God... supernatural powers?!"
The elders were dumbfounded. They had just been discussing how Jiang Yuan was sure to become an inner disciple, and now he had taken a step towards supernatural powers.
Despite their bewilderment, they quickly rang the small silver bell to inform Elder Tianxing of the matter.
"We used to barely be able to shake this little clock a few times a year, but today, in just one day, we've shaken it as many times as we did in a whole year before."
They were filled with emotion.
Inside the Feathered Heaven Palace, Elder Tianxing, who was leisurely drinking tea and resting, raised an eyebrow.
"Has someone killed another one of the Heavenly Demon Sect's little demon cubs?"
Elder Tianxing emerged from the Feathered Heaven Palace and arrived at the Inner Immortal Courtyard.
He then saw a familiar young man bowing to him.
The aura emanating from that young man was clearly that of someone who had just broken through to the Divine Power Realm, and his magical power was quite strong, even stronger than that of ordinary true disciples.
"Good, very good, excellent!" Elder Tianxing said with a smile.
He hadn't expected that Jiang Yuan would break through to the next level so quickly after consuming the Yin-Yang Longevity Pill just today.
Among the true disciples, some had attempted to break through to the next level by consuming the Yin-Yang Longevity Pill, but failed on their first attempt and had to try multiple times to succeed.
Jiang Yuan is far superior to that good-for-nothing.
Elder Tianxing looked at Jiang Yuan with much more pleasing eyes and said gently, "Your name is Jiang Yuan. Are you the adopted son of the Grand General of the Jiang family in the Southern Martial Kingdom?"
"The elder knows me?" Jiang Yuan asked in surprise.
He wasn't surprised that the Feathered Gate knew about his background.
He was simply puzzled, as Elder Tianxing held a high position and wielded great power, arguably the most powerful among all the elders.
Because he held the power over the sect's criminal law.
How could I possibly know about his affairs?
Elder Tianxing smiled slightly and said, "As the Grand Elder of the sect's penal law, I have memorized the roster of hundreds of thousands of disciples throughout the sect."
"However, these are all trivial tricks not worth mentioning. On the contrary, you have broken through to the Divine Power Realm at the young age of eighteen, showing extraordinary talent."
"Although it's because of the pills, taking pills is a legitimate path. So now you just need to wait for the sect to finish verifying your background, and you can become the sect's 109th true disciple."
"Mm." Jiang Yuan nodded.
Elder Tianxing smiled, waved his hand, and rode a cloud, carrying the two of them towards the Heavenly Palace in the clouds.
The Heavenly Palace gradually approached, half-hidden and half-concealed, like a giant city in the clouds, with countless grand halls, tall beams and pillars rising into the ninth heaven.
Elder Tianxing led Jiang Yuan to the outermost hall.
Jiang Yuan stepped into the hall. It was spacious, like a giant's palace, but the chairs and tea tables were all the size of ordinary people, giving people an unexpected sense of emptiness.
Elder Tianxing waved his hand, and eight streaks of light and text flew out from his sleeve, hovering in front of Jiang Yuan.
"Although your recognition as a true disciple still requires background checks, you can begin cultivating your supernatural abilities first."
"These are the eight great supernatural powers of our Feathered Ascension Sect. Each one is renowned outside. You can choose which one you wish to cultivate."
As Elder Tianxing finished speaking, the eight characters transformed into eight different divine abilities, which appeared before Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan was excited; he could finally cultivate supernatural powers. He calmed his mind and looked at them.
The Purple Lightning Blade traverses the four seas, its electric power sharp and its gaze sweeping across all directions.
The Great Freedom Profound Gold Sword Qi vanished instantly, tearing through space and killing without a trace.
The sky is cold and the Xuanming Force is strong. Ten thousand miles of snow and ice have sealed the land. The seven points of green flame are dark and eerie. They burn people without them even seeing them.
The Heavenly Wood Great Law is full of vitality, with forests rising from the ground and the Myriad Waters Divine Technique manipulating myriad rivers, which leap like dragons, changing unpredictably.
The mountain-shaped energy is integrated into the physical body, making it majestic, heavy, and powerful.
And the final Nine Palaces Divine Form Technique, it's like a nine-square grid, constantly bulging and concave, changing forms to calculate the mysterious existence in the void.
The eight supernatural powers each have their own merits and almost cover all the cultivation tendencies of the disciples of the Feathered Ascension Sect.
