In the days that followed.

Each Venerate Mansion dispatched personal guards to the Guiding Continent, allowing those geniuses who had received the Passage Order to freely choose which Venerable’s mansion to go to for the final test.

By passing the test, they can officially join the Star Sky Alliance.

"I am the personal guard of Aries Venerable. Anyone willing to go to Aries Venerable Mansion for the test, follow me."

A spaceship shaped like a falcon hovered in the air, giving a visually massive oppressive feeling. In front of the spaceship stood a group of personal guards clad in armor, led by one whose voice, infused with True Yuan, thunderously conveyed.

"Personal Guard Army sent by Aries Venerable, let’s go..."

"I don’t recognize these Venerables anyway, just pick one randomly."

"Let’s go, Second Brother, we’re going too."

In the city, many geniuses heard the personal guard’s words, flew up, and surged towards the falcon-shaped spaceship in the sky.

"Qingyang, let’s go too. This Aries Venerable served under my family’s ancestor, the ancestor should have already communicated with him." Shao Wenfeng’s lips curled into a confident smile as he glanced at Liu Qingyang beside him, smilingly saying, "Qingyang, once we both join the Star Sky Alliance, let’s get married soon."

"Mm." Liu Qingyang nodded.

Shao Wenfeng saw Liu Qingyang agree, and the smile on his face grew even brighter.

They also followed others into the falcon-shaped spaceship, and after about an hour, the group of personal guards also flew back inside the spaceship, which then transformed into a stream of light, disappearing into the sky above the city.

On the city’s interface.

A man and woman stood together; the man’s face was stern, standing as strong as pine and cypress, while beside him was a petite woman of exquisite beauty, lightly leaning her shoulder against his, forming a well-matched pair.

"That was the Personal Guard Army sent by Aries Venerable, seemed like Liu Qingyang and Shao Wenfeng went?" Rain King muttered.

Luo Yu’er added, "I don’t know why Mr. Lin wants us to go to True Yang Venerable? Does he know True Yang Venerable?"

True Yang Venerable had been escorted back to the Star Sky Alliance by two Realm Kings for colluding with the Demon Clan, which all Twelve Venerables knew but outsiders did not, nor did they know a new Lin Tanyu Venerable had come.

"However, these past days, I don’t know where Mr. Lin went? He also told us not to look for him, saying he would meet us at the Venerable Mansion." Rain King smiled, finding Lin Mo increasingly elusive.

"Mr. Lin always surprises us. I wonder if what he says will come true." Luo Yu’er also smiled, with a faint hint of anticipation, as joining the Star Sky Alliance would allow her and Rain King to obtain more cultivation resources.

...

Aries Venerable Mansion.

A spaceship in falcon-eagle form swiftly skimmed from the sky, leaving a trace of torn air lingering, and after hovering for a while, people inside the spaceship streamed out.

Besides the personal guards of Aries Venerable Mansion, there were about a hundred geniuses from various domains participating in the trial.

"Wow, this is the Venerable Mansion, so grand."

"It’s even bigger than our sect."

"What is that? Such a big tree."

Many noticed the towering tree with vast canopy and dense branches, nearly covering a third of the palace.

"Dear Trial Takers, follow me to the square in front of the Venerable Mansion to prepare for the test!" The Personal Guard Leader said aloud and then flew to the front.

"Sister Liu, let’s go too." Shao Wenfeng said confidently, glancing at Liu Qingyang.

"Mm." Liu Qingyang nodded, without much resistance to the term ’Sister Liu’.

Soon.

The group descended onto a spacious square in front of the Venerable Mansion. It was quiet as a cold night, calming down even these self-assured geniuses, who became more modest and obedient.

A Venerable, at the peak of Star Domain Level, the indomitable existence among the same level, assuredly capable of stepping into the World-level realm!

Everyone stood ready, waited for a moment, then saw an elderly man flying out of the Venerable Mansion, feet hovering in the void, with a smiling face scanning across each person, saying, "Good, good, you who have come to the Venerable Mansion are surely the elite from various Star Domains; those who have come here have strength or luck, but this last hurdle, luck won’t work at all."

"The testing method is quite simple. Later, I’ll give each of you a test stone. You will pour your entire True Yuan into it, and the test stone will naturally light up; if you can make it light up, you will pass the test."

The elder spoke as his sleeve waved, sending blocks of transparent stones towards the hundred or so geniuses on the square, with a whirring wind sound.

Everyone quickly reached out to catch it, a transparent stone roughly the size of an egg, entirely transparent.

So these were the test stones.

Is the final test that simple?

Each person revealed a hint of confusion; could this tiny stone decide their future fate?

"Hehe, don’t underestimate these ordinary test stones; whether you have talent and potential, whether you can become a World-level Expert in the future, this stone can judge." The elderly man stroked his beard, laughing, "Of course, this stone can’t fully determine your future achievements, but for now, it’s adequate."

Listening to the elder’s words, everyone hesitated for a moment, then gazed at the stone in their palms, feeling an eager impulse.

"Alright, let me try." A strong man with coarse features, eyes gleaming, then his True Yuan surged within, fully infused into the transparent stone, but suddenly his face changed color; True Yuan poured into the stone like a mud cow into the sea, without any response.

"Why? How is that possible, I am of Star Domain Level strength." The strong man shouted in disbelief.

The elder chuckled, "I mentioned, these stones test your potential, not your strength to make it shine."

"I don’t believe it." The man’s facial muscles twitched, veins visibly protruding under the skin, and the expression was extremely fierce.

His inner True Yuan also became frantic, pouring in desperately, but unfortunately, that transparent stone still showed no change. Finally, drenched in cold sweat, he revealed a desolate expression, with a bitter voice, "I, I failed."

Everyone sighed regretfully, it seemed the final test was not simple.

Just as everyone felt sorry for the strong man and worried anxiously for themselves, a faint light suddenly appeared in the peripheral vision of many.

Swish, swish, swish!

Suddenly, surprised gazes all converged on one person’s hand holding a stone with weak light, eyes filled with shock.

Shao Wenfeng blinked his eyes, his mouth slightly ajar, then laughed loudly, "Sister Liu, you passed!"

Liu Qingyang looked at the transparent stone in her hand; she only tried secretly, unexpectedly succeeded, it all seemed too sudden, and she was still unprepared.

Wonderful times continue tomorrow.
