Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator-Chapter 306 A Grueling Test
"Forefathers!", Zhan Chen exclaimed to himself while kneeling with others. He tried to take a good look at the five silhouttes but before he could do that, he felt an obstruction coming from the ancient formation.
"I have to be careful. These ancient sects are more formidable than what I have imagined", he thought to himself.
"Disciple Li Yan, go forward. The closer you go towards the forefathers, the better your evaluation will be", Nu Hao spoke.
Li Yan nodded her head and took a look at the forefathers of the Xuantian sect. She turned her head to have a glance at Zhan Chen before walking towards the indistinct silhouttes of the five forefathers.
Zhan Chen gave her an encouraging smile and watched her steps as she walked towards the five silhouttes. 'This test will be a difficult one for her', he thought to himself while watching the steps of Li Yan.
Li Yan came to a grinding halt as Zhan Chen had predicted. There was a look of discomfort on her face as she faced the five silhouttes.
She wanted to go forward but the aura coming from the five silhouttes wanted her to kneel once again. It was a kind of suppression force which was affecting her mind and soul.
Li Yan resisted the force and took a step towards the five silhouttes with a determined look on her face. The agony she was facing got incresed by manifold but she still walked forward despite being pressured. Beads of sweat came down from her forehead but she still didn't give up. Her feet continued to move despite the mountainous force she was feeling.
"What a tenacious girl!", Nu Hao thought to himself as a look of admiration appeared on his face. The other experts also had a look of admiration on their faces as they looked at Li Yan. It had been only few minutes yet Li Yan was struggling this much. This went to explain to the other girls, how difficult the test of the Xuantian sect was!
Li Yan finally stopped after taking few more steps. Her body started to sway as she finally knelt down infront of the torrential pressure. The pressure vanished as soon as her knees touched the ground. Her eyelids became heavy as she fainted right away after the pressure vanished.
A female cultivator of the Xuantian sect came and removed Li Yan from the raised platform. Nu Hai looked towards Zhan Chen's group after Li Yan 's test was over.
"Senior, what happened to her? Is she going to be okay?", Li Shu asked with a worried look on her face.
"Don't worry, She will be fine after sleeping for a while. It is already incredible that she resisted the pressure this long with such a low cultivation base", Nu Hao spoke.
"Senior, how is her result? Can she be considered a disciple of the Xuantian sect now!", Zhan Chen asked after Nu Hao talked with Li Shu.
"Of course. With her performance, she is more than eligible to be an outer court disciple of our Xuantian sect.
Although, it is a pity she couldn't last for few more minutes. Otherwise, she would have straight away become an inner court disciple of our Xuantian sect", Nu Hao replied.
"Who is going to be next?", he looked at Zhan Chen's group.
"I am", this time Zi Ningxi volunteered to take the test. Nu Hao gave permission and she climbed the stairs to reach the raised platform.
"Girl, introduce yourself before taking the test. Everyone, don't forget to introduce yourselves before leaving for the test ", Nu Hao reminded with mild irritation on his face. 𝒇𝑟𝐞𝐞w𝐞𝑏𝙣𝑜vℯl.co𝑚
"Senior, please forgive me. I am Zi Nigxi. From Clear Sky province, western region", Zi Ningxi spoke. Nu Hao instructed her to proceed and she walked towards the illusory gate at the entrance of the raised platform.
Letters started to appear on the stone pillar after Zi Nigxi entered through the illusory gate.

"Wood element!", Nu Hao felt surprised for a moment. 'She is probably the girl elder Chao was talking about', he thought to himself and looked towards the raised platform.
"Zi girl, your status is confirmed now. You can skip the test if you want to. I am sure, the experts from the Serene wood peak will come to take you soon", Nu Hao spoke.
'Should I give the test of should I not?', Zi Ningxi thought to herself for a moment. She finally decided to proceed with the test despite seeing the difficulty that Li Yan had faced.
Nu Hao's face twitched for a moment as he saw Zi Ningxi walking towards the five silhouttes. 'If something happens to her, I am done for', he thought to himself with a look of helplessness on his face.
Zi Ningxi faced the same pressure that Li Yan had endured earlier. But unlike Li Yan, she was not in a hurry to walk towards the five silhouttes.
She took a slow step after enduring the pressure for a while. Beads of sweat poured out from her forehead but she still stood still on his spot.
She took a step once again and the pressure she was facing became multiplied. She endured the pressure for a while before taking another step.
"Good, this is how you should approach this pressure. Not like Li Yan who choose to become stubborn and didn't apply her mind", Zhan Chen slowly spoke. Nu Hao nodded his head after hearing the words of Zhan Chen.
"He really has good awareness at his age", he thought to himself.
Zi Ningxi chose to withdraw when she couldn't endure the pressure anymore. Compared to Li Yan, she had taken one less step but each of her steps were steady and she didn't faint when she left the raised platform.
"You will be an outer court disciple for now but your status will be upgraded when you break through to the Core condensation realm", Nu Hao spoke. Zi Ningxi thanked him and returned to her spot.
"Who want to go next?", Nu Hao looked towards the remaining mbets in Zhan Chen's group.
"Senior, I want to give a try", Kai Min volunteered herself with an eager expression on her face. Nu Hao nodded his head and Kai Min introduced herself before walking towards the raised platform.

Spiritual Root- Earth grade
Letters appeared on the stone pillar after Kai Min stepped inside the illusory gate. There was nothing uncommon on her top five assessments but the last assessment pulled everyone's attention towards her.
"An earth grade spiritual root?", Nu Hao murmured with a surprised expression on his face. Other experts from the Xuantian sect also looked towards Kai Min with incredulous expressions on their faces.
'It is only normal. She has a blessed body. So, it is obvious that she is more receptive to spiritual enenergy than others', Zhan Chen thought to himself.
