Eternal Reverence

Chapter 473: Perception Test

Translator: jinzeffect

The Red Rainbow Sect was situated in the extreme west of the Red Soil Continent. It was separated from the Orange Soil Continent with an in-land sea in between.

There were dozens of teleportation platforms that surrounded the Red Rainbow Sect. One of the teleportation platforms suddenly lit up with radiance while Li Fuchen and the others gradually appeared.

“This is the Red Rainbow Sect?”

Li Fuchen glanced at the surroundings and was filled with astonishment.

The Red Rainbow Sect was like most of the sect and was also constructed in a mountain range. The mountain peaks of this range weren’t very high as the tallest peak would be around two to three thousand meters, while the shortest peak would be around a few hundred meters. Every mountain peak was circled by array pagodas. Li Fuchen’s intuition told him that each of the array pagodas had firepower that was far superior to the Mystic Tools Sect’s dilapidated battleship. Especially the nine array pagodas that were situated in the core region of the Red Rainbow Sect. The nine array pagodas were all a few hundred meters in height. The ripples that was emitted felt it could destroy the heavens. Just a mere glance was enough for the heart to waver and become unsteady.

Apart from that, there were some short mountain peaks that were docked with giant battleships. Each of the battleships were much larger than the Mystic Tools Sect’s dilapidated battleship. Some were 100 or 200 meters in length, while some were a few hundred meters in length.

On the battleships, there were array pagodas installed. The main pagoda would be around 30% of the battleship’s height and they look to have similarly terrifying power.

If these were enough to cause shock and awe, then those law-defying metal spheres that were floating above the core region of the Red Rainbow Sect had paralyzed Li Fuchen.

The metal spheres were a few hundred meters in size and they look extremely dense yet they were still able to suspend in the air. Li Fuchen had a vague feeling that those were the Red Rainbow Sect’s trump card and the hidden trump that oversaw the sect.

Mo Chaofan spoke with pride, “This is the Red Rainbow Sect. Even if a regular Law Phase Realm emperor comes here, they would have to escape with their tails in between their legs.”

Ss!

Everyone took a deep cold breath.

Even Law Phase Realm emperors would have to escape? Wasn’t it too exaggerating?!

The Law Phase Realm were on a higher realm than the Primary Sea Realm. Putting aside the fact if a Law Phase Realm emperor was able to come into the Seven Color Continent. The combat strength of a Law Phase Realm emperor was easily able to destroy an entire mountain range in a single move. If a Law Phase Realm emperor’s attack could be stopped and could chase them away, how confident must Mo Chaofan be to say such things?

Not a single person tried to investigate with Mo Chaofan’s words were true as everyone was immersed in the environment of the Red Rainbow Sect that had terrifying qi.

The concentration of qi in the Red Rainbow Sect was several times more than the outside world. Every breath allowed everyone to feel their cultivation advancing by a trace. Apart from that, the Red Rainbow Sect’s qi contained the presence of law and it seemed to be much more prominent than the outside world. It was obvious that it would be easier to comprehend martial arts and divine abilities in this place.

“This is also a kind of resource!”

Li Fuchen heaved a breath. It was hard not to advance when cultivating in such an environment.

If a prodigy didn’t have enough resources, the accomplishments would be limited to the innate potential.

For a mediocre person, even if the innate potential wasn’t considered good, but if that person had elite resources, it was extremely easy for the mediocre person to surpass his innate potential.

Li Fuchen could imagine that the prodigies that the Red Rainbow Sect recruited for countless years would have fearsome strength after cultivating in this environment for years.

“Let’s go to the plain plaza.” Mo Chaofan flew with a sudden burst of speed.

Everyone followed closely.

The plain plaza was indeed very plain. It was 20 miles in radius and the surface of the ground was spread with pieces of white jade that were a few meters in size, making it look extremely leveled.

At this moment, the center of the plain plaza was gathered with 500 or 600 individuals. Each of them were of similar age and they were probably the youth generations from the six other kingdoms.

“The Violet Flower Kingdom is here. Tsk Tsk, they don’t look like much. I wonder how many 7-star bone frames they have?”

“How many? I don’t think they have even one. In the past, my Ancient Moon Kingdom will produce one 7-star bone frame every decade. This year is a little special as we have two, but I don’t think the Violet Flower Kingdom would be so lucky.”

In a split moment, 500 to 600 pairs of eyes glanced over. Those youths from the Violent Flower Kingdom who didn’t have a strong mind would feel their hearts tightening while their mouths felt dry.

“Elder Mo, you are here. How is it? How many monarch-class prodigies do the Violet Flower Kingdom have this year? The Ancient Moon Kingdom that I visited had two.” The one speaking was a slender middle-aged man and he was obviously one of the Red Rainbow Sect’s outer sect elders.

Mo Chaofan laughed and replied, “Two huh? That is quite a lot. I only have three monarch-class prodigies here.”

In the Red Rainbow Sect, 7-star bone frames meant monarch-class prodigies. It meant they had great hopes of progressing to the Primary Sea Realm.

“Haha! What?”

The slender man laughed at the first half of the statement but quickly reacted to the second half of the statement. He had big and round eyes as he said, “Three, are you joking?”

On average, a royal kingdom would normally produce one 7-star bone frame every decade. There were times that there wouldn’t be a single one in two decades. Sometimes, there would be one every three to five years. There wasn’t a fixed pattern.

It was already an anomaly to have two 7-star bone frames at once. But for three to appear at the same time, it was simply exaggerating.

“Three 7-star bone frames? In the past millennia, I don’t think that was any kingdom that produced three 7-star bone frames at once.” A middle-aged beauty exclaimed.

“It seems to be rather special this year. On average, it would be rather good for the Red Rainbow Sect to recruit seven 7-star bone frames in a decade. It was normally two to three 7-star bone frames in every three years. But it is only a little over two years and the seven kingdoms actually provided twelve 7-star bone frames.” A middle-aged man with a short mustache commented.

Among the seven great kingdoms, the Violet Flower Kingdom had three 7-star bone frames while three of the other kingdoms had two 7-star bone frames and the remaining three kingdoms had one 7-star bone frame. Putting the total to be twelve.

“What? The Violet Flower Kingdom has three 7-star bone frames?” The youths of the Ancient Moon Kingdom had unpleasant expressions.

Two individuals and three individuals might only have the difference of one person. But if they all progressed to the Primary Sea Realm, it would be the difference of one Primary Sea Realm monarch.

“Twelve 7-star bone frames huh? It is basically twelve Primary Sea Realm monarchs.” Li Fuchen took a glance and quickly determined the nine 7-star bone frames of the six other kingdoms.

With his eyesight, he naturally wasn’t able to differentiate who had 7-star bone frames. Not even a Primary Sea Realm monarch would be able to do so.

But as long as Li Fuchen observed the expressions and attitudes of others, he would be able to figure it out. After all, if a person possessed a 7-star bone frame, the person’s strength would definitely be extremely formidable and enough for everyone to revere them.

On the Violet Flower Kingdom’s side, Bai Lingshuang, Murong Tianxing, and the Violet Flower Martial Institution’s no.1 cadet, Hai Wuya were giving off a feeling that they were way more outstanding than others. As the other cadets from the Violent Flower Kingdom were looking at them with eyes of admiration and jealousy.

“Since everyone is here, let’s go to the perception hall!” Mo Chaofan suggested.

“Indeed.” The six other Red Rainbow Sect’s outer sect elders nodded.

The perception hall was for the Red Rainbow Sect to test the disciples’ perception. 7-star bone frames might be considered monarch-class prodigies, but it didn’t mean they would become monarch-class disciples. In order to become a monarch-class disciple, one’s perception would need to be over 60.

The perception hall was straight ahead of the plain plaza.

After arriving at the perception hall, everyone queued up and started the test.

The perception hall elder took out a fist-sized black crystal ball and said indifferently, “This is the perception crystal. During the test, you just have to put it on your forehead. Just to mention, the Red Rainbow Sect also has a separation of grades for the outer sect disciples. Those with 7-star bone frames and have a perception that is over 60 points will become a monarch-class disciple. Those below the 7-star bone frames that have over 40 points in perception will become first-grade outer sect disciples. Those with more than 35 points will become second-grade outer sect disciples. Those with more than 30 points will become third-grade outer sect disciples. As for those below 30 points, will be sent back. Of course, I believe that everyone here shouldn’t have a perception that is lower than 30 points.”

If they had perception below 30 points, it was impossible for them to rise above others and obtain an outer sect disciple slot in the Red Rainbow Sect.

“I will definitely become a first-grade outer sect disciple.”

Apart from the 7-star bone frames, no one else dared to think about becoming a monarch-class disciple. But everyone desired to become the first-grade outer sect disciple.

The Red Rainbow Sect might be a monarch-class sect that had countless resources, but it was extremely competitive in the Red Rainbow Sect. The higher your aptitude, the more resources you would obtain. If your aptitude was low and was only a third-grade outer sect disciple, then you might not even obtain the basic resources and would have to strive for everything on your own.

It wasn’t exaggerating to say that a monarch-class disciple’s resources would be at least several tens of times or even a hundred times more than third-grade outer sect disciples.

With such a huge disparity, the strong would only get stronger while the weak would get weaker.

“There is actually a perception test, I wonder how is my perception?”

Of course, there were those who weren’t confident and were scared witless as they didn’t want to be sent back to their kingdom.

“There is actually something to test perception?” Li Fuchen raised his brows.

Perception was something unreal and it was extremely unreliable. There would be times when there was a flash of inspiration that would allow a large progression. There were times when one would be against a brick wall and wouldn’t be able to progress another step in their lifetime. The further down the path of the martial dao, it would be more so.

“First person.” The perception hall elder looked at the first testee.

The first testee walked up apprehensively and received the perception crystal before placing at his forehead.

Specks of light appeared in the black perception crystal.

“Perception 32, third-grade outer sect disciple, next.” The perception hall elder had an emotionless expression.

“Perception 35, third-grade outer sect disciple.”

“Perception 38, second-grade outer sect disciple.”

“Perception 39, second-grade outer sect disciple.”

Various kingdoms’ youths stepped up for the test, but there wasn’t a single first-grade outer sect disciple yet.

Soon enough, it was a 7-star bone frame from the Black Stone Kingdom.

This person had a slender body and looked at most 30 years old. There was extreme confidence in the eyes and there wasn’t a trace of hesitation.

From the mouths of people, Li Fuchen found out that this person was called Sima Zhuo and he had the 7-star thick earth bone frame.

After placing the perception crystal on his forehead, specks of light appeared in the crystal.

It finally stopped when 67 specks of light appeared.

The perception hall elder gave a smile, “Perception 67, monarch-class disciple.”

The value was perception wasn’t as simple as normal addition. One person might have 35 points in perception while the other might have 36. The difference between the two individuals was almost insignificant but the perception hall elder knew clearly that there was an absolute gap in between. Even if the latter wasn’t in a great state, as long as the latter didn’t hit a brick wall or become possessed, the comprehension speed would definitely be significantly higher than the former.

As such, the perception of 60 over points as compared to 30 points wasn’t just simply double, it was more than that.

To have 67 points in perception, Sima Zhuo wouldn’t even be considered mediocre among the 7-star bone frames.
