I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 865: Chapter 485: The Chosen One Chapter 865: Chapter 485: The Chosen One Time flew by, and a month had passed.

Elder Qingping, seated halfway up Gathering-Immortals Peak, was awakened by his alarm. After a long breath, he slowly opened his eyes. A stream of clear and lustrous immortal energy swirled between his seven orifices. As he concluded the Jade Purity Scripture, the energy vanished into his nostrils and mouth.

Feeling the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul Third Layer growing looser, a smile couldn’t help but spread across Elder Qingping’s face.

Such is the advantage of a Sixth Grade Spirit Vein—originally, he thought it would take at least ten or more years to advance. Judging by his current progress, he estimated he could save half the time.

If it weren’t for the final step of opening the Golden Core Domain, which required his assistance, Elder Qingping truly wished to just sit halfway up Gathering-Immortals Peak.

As he stood up to descend the mountain, Elder Qingping looked up at the peak.

The Portal’s core was up there—hopefully, it would need to be activated only once.

With that thought, Elder Qingping had already reached the row of wooden houses at the foot of the mountain. The three Golden Core Masters who were in charge came over to greet him with a bow.

“How’s everything?”

“It’s almost time—all is as usual.”

It’s good that there were no unexpected issues. Elder Qingping nodded upon hearing this, then glanced at his watch. There was exactly one minute left—he had timed it perfectly.

“That will do. Those who haven’t felt the Power of Void can come out first.”

As the time arrived, Chen Mobai inside the wooden house heard Elder Qingping’s voice from outside. Sensing that his Divine Sense had returned to its peak state, he nodded to himself.

Next came the final and most crucial step.

…

“Sigh, what exactly is this Power of Void?”

“I meditated in silence for a month and felt like I was just daydreaming.”

The Foundation Establishment Practitioners of the Ninth Layer, emerging from the wooden houses, began to converse in small groups. Many shook their heads and sighed, unwilling to accept that they couldn’t even pass the first hurdle.

But the reality was right before their eyes, and despite their reluctance, they had to accept it.

“I thought my talent was unparalleled, and all I lacked were resources from the Scholarly Mansion of the Daoist Academy. However, the opening of the Portal has dealt me a harsh blow.”

A Ninth Layer practicitioner, from an academic background, said with a face full of dejection, looking down as he turned to leave.

“Everyone, do not wander around the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains. We will arrange for your departure after the results come out,” one of the Golden Core Masters from the Portal Management Bureau immediately called to him, stopping him, and then gathered everyone who came out of the wooden houses in front of him.

“Zuo Qiushi, even you didn’t feel the Power of Void?”

Among the line of people, those from Dance Tool Dao Academy naturally grouped together. One of them saw Zuo Qiushi and couldn’t hide his surprise.

After all, he had once been the top student of the academy and was nominally the most talented and powerful person during that time.

“I barely sensed it on the fourteenth day, but in the end, I only shattered six fragments. With such a result, there’s no chance I can open a Golden Core Domain,” said Zuo Qiushi with a sigh and a shake of his head, indicating that he had fallen too far behind in the first step and chose not to waste time, exiting early instead.

“Chen, Zhong Li, and Sister Bian are all still inside; I wonder how much Power of Void they have condensed,” the people from Dance Tool Dao Academy checked and found that three people had not yet come out from the wooden houses, leading to various speculations.

“Sister Bian probably won’t make it. There’s a twenty to thirty percent chance for Zhong Li, but Chen…” Zuo Qiushi pondered for a moment and then voiced his thoughts.

But despite his previous confidence in Chen Mobai, after experiencing the difficulty of sensing and shattering the Void firsthand, he dared not guarantee success.

“Chen has the Qualification of Deification; he should have about a sixty to seventy percent chance,” everyone agreed with Zuo Qiushi. Having personally experienced it, they all felt that opening a Golden Core Domain was incredibly difficult.

The first challenge eliminated most of them, and only individuals like Zuo Qiushi could advance to the second challenge of shattering the Void.

Thankfully, a Nascent Soul Superior would assist in the third challenge, using the Portal, a Supreme Treasure, as the lead. Otherwise, Foundation Establishment Practitioners at their Realm would have found it impossible.

“All others in the wooden houses, channel the Power of Void you control into the Portal. Those who meet the requirements for opening a Domain will be selected by the Portal,” said Elder Qingping, speaking once again.

Everyone halted their discussions and looked up at the silvery gate that had torn a crack in the sky’s Void.

Then, they saw strands of silvery glow rise from the top of the wooden houses, stretching and disappearing into the blackness within the silver gate.

Among them, many silvery threads were mere finger-length wisps that vanished soundlessly into the Portal.

Others were one meter, two meters long.

They streaked across the daytime sky like beams of silver light, flashing like a meteor shower, exceptionally dazzling and beautiful.

Zuo Qiushi also saw a silver light illuminate from his own wooden house.

That was the Power of Void he had shattered, but without his control, it transformed into a veil of silver mist, absorbed by the Portal and then disappearing.

About a quarter of an hour later, most of the silver strands had entered the Portal without causing any noise or disturbance.

The remaining seven or eight strands, however, formed complete filaments, linking the silver gate with the wooden houses, much like the string of a kite.
