Chapter 11, first clear, the 7th Prince was dumbfounded!
"Elders, how long do you think it will take them to clear the level?"
"In my opinion, it will take at least an hour, after all, the record for this pass has not been broken for thousands of years."
"Hehe, elders, why don't you guess who will come out on top?"
"This elder has a high opinion of Jiang Churan. With her Heavenly-level aptitude, her comprehension should be quite good."
"That's right, Jiang Churan should have no problem taking first place. Second and third should be Li Wudao and Qi Xingyu, but the order of their rankings is uncertain."
The elders and chief of each peak were chatting with great interest, and had almost decided that Jiang Churan would be the top of the list.
..........
Illusionary Space.
With the blessing of a hundredfold increase in comprehension...
Li Wudao could read ten lines at a glance, and within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he could recite them fluently and thoroughly.
Within a quarter of an hour, he had grasped the core essence of this incomplete scroll.
Not only that, but it also deduced the missing parts of the content.
If the manual hadn't been so incomplete, he might have even had the chance to complete it.
"The previous incomplete cultivation method could barely be considered a top-grade Yellow Rank, but now it should have entered the low-grade Profound Rank category. Shouldn't that be considered passing the level?"
Li Wudao pondered this and began to circulate the mental cultivation method he had deduced.
The next instant, the small space he was in shattered into pieces, plunging into endless darkness.
When he opened his eyes again, he was back in reality.
Li Wudao stood up, looked around at his disciples, and found that they were still asleep and showed no signs of waking up.
"Looks like I'm the first one to clear the game..."
Li Wudao, looking slightly flamboyant, then tiptoed over and sat down in front of Jiang Churan.
He wanted to see how long it would take for the Empress to wake up.
His sudden standing up immediately drew everyone's attention.
"It's Li Wudao! He's the first one to clear the level!"
"As expected of a top-tier genius, he is indeed very strong."
The outer disciples watching were slightly surprised, feeling that it was impressive, but they didn't understand what it meant.
"How long has it been? How did he wake up? Could it be that he has already comprehended it?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! The fastest disciple in the history of this test took more than an hour to pass, and he only had a quarter of an hour inside?"
“This elder also finds it strange. Look, even Jiang Churan, who has a Heaven-level aptitude, hasn’t woken up yet. How did he, with only an Earth-level aptitude, manage to do it?”
"No, aptitude and comprehension are two different things. Although disciples with excellent aptitude are often not bad at comprehension, there will always be exceptions. Otherwise, what would be the point of the ancestor setting up the comprehension test?"
"Anyway, this elder absolutely does not believe that there is such a monstrous talent of comprehension in this world."
On the stands, the peak masters and elders stared in disbelief and engaged in a heated discussion.
One group of people believed that Li Wudao used special methods to break through the illusion, which was cheating; another group believed that Li Wudao's comprehension was extraordinary and that he was a peerless genius.
In short, they argued until they were red in the face, neither willing to concede.
"Alright, all of you, quiet down. What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket in front of so many disciples?"
Sect Master Murong Yan called a halt to the gathering of elders.
Then, he looked at Wu Ming with doubt, "Elder Wu, did this boy use some special method to forcibly break through the illusion space?"
"The Illusionary Sea Mirror is a treasure of the sect, a mid-grade Heaven-rank spiritual artifact. Even with my strength, it would be impossible for a Martial King to break the illusion in such a short time. It is absolutely impossible for a young man."
Wu Ming was also puzzled, but he still firmly shook his head.
The martial arts lineage has nine major realms, which are:
Body Tempering, Blood Transfusion, True Essence, Martial Sect, Martial King, Martial Venerable, Martial Emperor, Martial Saint, Martial Emperor...
Each major realm is further divided into five minor levels:
Early stage, middle stage, late stage, peak, perfection.
At Li Wudao's age, no matter how extraordinary he is, he could not possibly be comparable to King Wu, unless he is possessed by someone else.
But the boy's aura was very weak, and his demeanor was very young; he didn't seem like one at all.
"Moreover, if that young man had forcibly broken through the illusion space, I would have sensed it and my body would have suffered some backlash, but none of that happened."
After Elder Wu Ming finished speaking, he fell silent for a while.
Upon hearing this, the elders and peak masters fell silent and looked at each other in bewilderment.
Yes, even if they were hit, they wouldn't be able to break through forcibly in less than half an hour.
How could a mere teenager possibly break through the illusion created by a Heavenly Rank Spiritual Artifact in such a short time?
Could it be that this child truly passed the test thanks to his monstrous comprehension?
If that's the case, it's terrifying, even more so than forcibly breaking through an illusion.
Even as the sect leader, Murong Yan was at a loss.
He paced back and forth, pondering how to judge Li Wudao's performance, when he inadvertently looked up.
I saw an old man drinking leisurely, looking relaxed and uninvolved, giving off a sense of carefree detachment from worldly affairs.
"Peak Master Xia, what is your opinion of this young man?"
Murong Yan looked at the old man, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Xia Gucheng, the head of Yuhua Peak, is the most mysterious of the seven peak masters. His strength is unknown, and he is usually elusive.
If it weren't for the requirement that all the peak masters of the Xuantian Sect be present at their disciple-acceptance ceremony, it would probably be difficult to even see this person.
It was brought by the Supreme Elder of the Xuantian Sect more than 20 years ago, and only then did the seventh main peak and the first peak come into being.
"What's there to worry about? If you have any doubts, why not wait until after the assessment and have him practice his inner cultivation technique on the spot? Then you'll know the truth."
Xia Gucheng took a swig of wine, rested his chin on his hand, yawned, and felt drowsy.
He reeked of alcohol, his Taoist robe was wrinkled, and his hair was a mess, completely unkempt.
If he were lost in a crowd, an unsuspecting person would mistake him for a homeless person or a beggar; his appearance and demeanor make it impossible to associate him with the head of a peak.
"What Elder Xia said is absolutely right."
Seeing the old man so weary, Murong Yan shook his head bitterly.
Although Xia Gucheng was the master of a peak, he didn't care about anything and lived a carefree life, only holding the empty title of chief.
Unlike him, who is busy every day, with all the sect's affairs requiring his attention, it's hard for him to slack off.
Just then, a commotion arose below.
Another person has passed the assessment.
It was none other than Jiang Churan.
As soon as the girl opened her eyes, she saw Li Wudao staring at her with his chin resting on his hand.
"You're finally awake. My legs were almost numb from sitting."
The boy grinned.
He truly has the bearing of an emperor; even his comprehension is so strong.
Luckily, he had exceptional comprehension, otherwise he would have really lost to the little maid.
"When...when did you wake up?"
"It's been a while."
"..."
Jiang Churan opened her mouth slightly, her eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.
She had passed this test in her previous life, and it took her almost half an hour to get through it.
Now that she had some experience, she became familiar with it in less than 15 minutes, cutting the time in half.
She had assumed that first place was a sure thing for her.
Unexpectedly, Li Wudao tried to get to her first, which was terrifying to think about.
You should know that in his previous life, the other party was just a menial servant and wasn't even qualified to participate in the second stage of the assessment.
"As expected of a Heavenly-level talent, his comprehension is also so strong. He is only a cup of tea slower than that kid Li Wudao, crushing the sect's five-thousand-year record."
"This girl has first-class talent and comprehension. With proper training, she will at least become a peak master in the future, and perhaps she can lead the sect to new glory."
The major peak masters were generous with their praise, all expressing great satisfaction with Jiang Churan's performance.
After that, a full 35 minutes passed.
Qi Xingyu rubbed his groggy head and slowly stood up.
He looked up and saw that all he could see were his disciples, who were fast asleep. Not a single one of them was standing. He immediately showed a hint of joy.
"Haha, I'm the first prince to clear the level!"
Just as he was getting excited, he suddenly felt someone pat him on the shoulder from behind.
Qi Xingyu was startled and quickly moved away.
When he turned around and saw Li Wudao, he was completely dumbfounded.
"What...when did you wake up?"
Qi Xingyu stared in disbelief, dumbfounded.
