Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 609 -
"Now, each of you, step forward in turn and use your own mana to strike the blood stone before you."
Finally, as the sun set, the great saint who was guarding the mountain began to speak.
The function of the blood stone had already been clearly explained by the two great saints, and no one had any more questions.
Most cultivators had grown impatient with waiting, and upon hearing they could soon ascend the mountain, their spirits lifted immediately, harboring not a shred of doubt about the killing intent contained within the blood stone.
The first to step forward was Liu Yuan from the Qianmen branch of the Xuanhuang Sect.
"I'll go first!"
Liu Yuan stood up first, swept his gaze around the vicinity, and then provocatively glanced in the direction of Qinchuan and others, especially casting an unfriendly look at Ji Huo'er.
Liu Yuan had taken to heart the disrespectful words from Ji Huo'er and others earlier and had been looking for an opportunity to humiliate the other party thoroughly.
Now, he had also begrudgingly remembered the so-called "Young Master Thirteen," Ye Shiyi.
Although there was a huge difference in realm between him and Ye Shiyi, the two great saints had made it clear that the blood stone tested talent, not realm cultivation.
If he could shine brightly on this blood stone, perhaps even overpower this so-called Young Master Thirteen, it would be like releasing a pent-up breath of foul air.
Liu Yuan approached the blood stone, Xuanhuang Qi surged up his arm, and he pressed a palm imprint toward the stone.
"Hmm!"
Liu Yuan immediately sensed a thread of soul involuntarily entering the blood stone along with his mana.
This feeling was quite eerie, as if the blood stone had drawn out a thread of his soul from his body, leaving him feeling inexplicably empty.
In an ordinary place, he would surely be suspicious, but here in the Spirit Dragon Holy Land, he assumed this was part of the evaluation process.
As that thread of soul entered the blood stone, it suddenly flashed with a burst of green divine light, the brilliance soaring to the skies, stunningly captivating.
"What level is this?"
Excited, Liu Yuan asked, looking at the rich and dazzling light before him.
"Talent Lower Grade, allocated a Stellar Character Level residence."
A great saint from the Spirit Dragon Holy Land announced without a trace of emotion on his face.
"What?"
"How could it only be a Stellar Character Level?"
Liu Yuan doubted his own ears, shook his head, and asked in disbelief for confirmation.
Heaven-Earth Xuanhuang, sun, moon, stars, a total of eight ranks, and his talent could only be second from the bottom?
"This is the location of your residence."
The great saint from the Spirit Dragon Holy Land did not pay him much mind and simply threw a token at him with the exact location of his residence.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. This young master is endowed with exceptional talent, and it took me only a hundred years to reach the Dragon Transformation Realm. How could it be only a Stellar Character Level?"
"No, I must try again!"
Liu Yuan shook his head and charged towards the blood stone once more.
Surprisingly, the two great saint experts of the Spirit Dragon Holy Land did not stop him and allowed him to rush towards the blood stone again.
```
"Snap!"
Liu Yuan's palm imprint struck again, and without a doubt, it was exactly the same as before, shimmering with green light.
Liu Yuan was stunned, the immense disparity made him somewhat dazed.
At this time, one of the Great Saint experts from the Spirit Dragon Holy Land stepped forward and announced loudly.
"This Blood Stone is called the Great Emperor Stone, personally refined by the current Holy Master of our Spirit Dragon Holy Land. It's not only used for assessing the talent and potential of your physical bodies in cultivation but also to evaluate your understanding of the great Dao, your chances of becoming an Emperor, as well as the talent of your soul.
Therefore, if the Blood Stone shows a higher talent response, it indicates a greater probability of stepping into the Emperor Realm,
Conversely, if the displayed talent is lower, the opportunities for the journey of a Great Emperor are fewer, and it becomes much more challenging to break through to the Great Emperor Realm in this life."
"So that's how it is!"
The surrounding cultivators then began nodding their heads in understanding. Although they had been spectating with glee at Liu Yuan's inferior talent, they had difficulty believing that a cultivator who had broken through to the Dragon Transformation Realm within a century could have only a lower grade talent.
However, if what the Blood Stone was assessing was Emperor-making potential, then it explained everything.
After all, on the path of cultivation, the Emperor Realm is the ultimate endpoint of this world, and not everyone can reach it.
Every year, thousands upon thousands step into the Saint Realm and even reach the Supreme Saint level, but those who can transcend the Supreme Saint Realm and step into the Great Emperor level from all the continents combined are less than a hundred every thousand years.
Even including Quasi-Emperor experts, there would not be a thousand every thousand years.

"These guys, they've done their homework quite thoroughly, this explanation seems to have no holes," thought Qinchuan to himself.
Although Liu Yuan was still somewhat dazed, much of the doubt in his heart had dissipated. He acknowledged his own talent was not bad, but the hope of achieving the Emperor Realm was exceedingly slim.
However, fortunately, although the chance was slim, based on the Blood Stone's response, he still had a sliver of an opportunity.
After resolving the doubts in his heart, several Protectors behind Liu Yuan also came forward for the test.
This time, with the opening of Mount Sumeru, everyone from the Meridian Opening Realm to Supreme Saint experts could participate, and they would also enter Mount Sumeru when the time came.
Accompanying him were two Saints and two Great Saints; one of the Great Saints named Liu Kailin shone with a crimson light and was classified as having a "Sun" Character Level talent; another Great Saint was determined to have a "Moon" Character Level talent. The remaining two had the same "Stellar" Character Level as Liu Yuan.
"Elders, may I inquire about the respective chances of achieving the Emperor Realm corresponding to the different ranks?"
Among the five of Liu Yuan, there were three different ranks, and someone asked loudly at this time.
"The Great Emperor is a supremely unparalleled existence. To step into it, not only is cultivation talent important, but also luck and chance play a crucial role.
This Blood Stone corresponds to eight ranks: Heaven-Earth Xuanhuang and the Sun-Moon-Stars. Among these, the 'Chen' Character Level has the smallest chance of Emperor Realm opportunity, with a probability less than one in ten million. The 'Stellar' Character Level barely has a one in ten million chance of achieving the Emperor Realm, while the 'Moon' Level has a one in ten million chance.
Going forward, each higher level increases the possibility of becoming an Emperor by tenfold.
If one reaches the 'Heaven' Character Level and does not meet an untimely demise, the chance of becoming a Great Emperor is as high as one percent."
"What, a one percent chance!"
Everyone was astounded as reaching the 'Heaven' Character Level actually came with a one percent chance of achieving the Great Emperor title.
A one percent chance, though it seems very slim, is already sufficient to motivate a Sect to invest all their resources in nurturing someone for the chance of becoming a Great Emperor."
In that instant, everyone became frenzied.
The hearts of the crowd filled with both anticipation and anxiety, yearning to know their own level of talent, while fearing it might be too low.
"Let's see mine next!"
Jiang Youwei, who was beside Qinchuan, could no longer contain himself and was the first to step forward and speak.
