Back To Earth

"Oh shit did I break it" Felix said to himself as he quickly retracted his hand.

"Felix right?" Feng Shui asked as he stared at Felix like he was a pile of gold, his gaze was that of excitement.

"Yes, um do I have to pay for that cause I really have no money" Felix replied as he drew Feng Shui's attention towards the now demolished pillar.

"Oh, that" Feng Shui said with a glance towards the elders on the stage where Shandian beckoned him over.

"Fuck, why did this have to happen to me of all people, could it be that my talent is so bad that I the pillar took it as an insult but what was that golden light" Felix muttered to himself as he glanced at Feng Shui who was returning.

"Um congratulations to Felix, the first to have a legendary bloodline, even in the sect, the ones with your bloodline can be counted on one hand, I wish to see your future achievements" Feng Shui said to Felix who also stared at him in shock.

"As for the pillar, it will be fixed so you don't have to worry about it" Feng Shui added when he saw Felix about to talk.

"Oh then that's great, thank you so much" Felix said with a smile as he inwardly sighed in relief, he was happy that he didn't have to pay anything, he bowed respectfully to Feng Shui and then to the elders before walking off the stage as he watched the pillar reconstruct itself.

"Hey brother congratulations, wow I am so proud of you, I was right about you having a story" Li bai immediately spouted as soon as Felix arrived.

'Oh, this idiot again and what did he call me, brother?, really, from stranger to friend and now brother, is he intending to stay close to me, shit and what is it with all the stares I'm getting' Felix thought as he noticed that many people's gazes were on him, some were of respect, some of jealousy, others simply observed him, he even felt pressure from some.

"Hey brother, you are number one" Li Bai said with a chuckle as Felix stared at the board where his name shot to the first position, pushing the name of Zhang He below his, immediately murmurs spread out among the people because of one striking feature, beside Felix's name was a figure of 20,000 whilst that of Zhang He was around 5,000, the difference was totally clear.

'I wonder what Zhang He's reaction will be, by the way, where is he' Felix thought as he searched through the crowd for Zhang He.

"Hey" Felix heard a calm voice as he turned to see Zhang He standing behind him.

'What the…, when did he get behind me, does he intend to pick a fight, hmmp, let's see him try' Felix thought as Zhang He's next actions almost caused him to fall over.

"Congratulations, dear friend, I acknowledge you as an opponent, I hope you don't disappoint me" Zhang He made a martial bow and said these words before he turned around and left leaving Felix and the surrounding competitors astonished, with their gaze once again turning to Felix once more.

"Oh great, more unwanted attention" Felix muttered as he felt their gazes return to him once more, why did this guy have to put on a show.

"Oh it's my turn, hahaha, I just wish that I have a good talent" Li Bai said as his name was mentioned, Felix turned to him, curious to know what talent he would get.

Under everyone's watch, Li Bai walked to the pillar calmly as he placed his palm on it, the pillar immediately lighted up as a grey color appeared indicating the lowest grade of talent, which earned him a look of disdain from the onlookers but the color didn't last for more than a second before it changed to yellow which caused the onlooker's gaze to falter after noticing the quick color change, but this color also didn't last long before it changed to blue then to red again, by this time the onlookers were all shocked because this had never happened since the start of the test, the color seemed like it was about to change again when Li Bai quickly retracted his hand causing the pillar to dim, seeing this Feng Shui was about to say something when he paused like he had received a message from the elders.

"Congratulation to you Li Bai for having multiple talents" Feng Shui said in a loud voice which caused murmurs to erupt around them, Li Bai chuckled awkwardly he sighed which showed that this was a secret he wanted to keep under wraps but was impossible now, he bowed then left the stage.

"Multiple talents huh?" Felix muttered as Li Bai arrived.

"Yeah it's not that great" Li Bai replied with a grin as he stared at the next person climbing onto the stage, it was a beautiful female with white hair that drifted halfway to her waist, she had a cold and calm expression on her face as she walked to the pillar.

"Oh the Ice Princess is here too, wow" Felix heard from among the competitors.

"Who's the Ice Princess?" Felix asked Li Bai who hadn't said a word since he arrived.

"Oh her, she's the sister of the Queen of the Frost Lands, one of the strong forces, she was supposed to be next in line for the throne but was overthrown by her sister so she left just like Zhang He to get strong enough for revenge, she's one of the one's I told you to watch out for" Li Bai explained as Felix stared at the stage where the pillar lighted up with a violet hue indicating a very rare talent like Zhang He, as Felix felt the environment get chilly.

'Why do I feel like this sect accepts outcasts a lot' Felix thought.

After being congratulated, she made a bow and walked off and as she did, she suddenly turned her gaze towards Felix, the surrounding competitors immediately cleared a path for her as she walked to Felix who frowned.

'What does she also want' Felix thought as he watched her stare at him for a few seconds before she turned around and walked away.

"What was that?" Felix asked himself.

"I think she likes you" Li Bai joked as he sighed at the unwanted attention he was getting once again, it was like he was becoming public enemy number one for no reason.

"Urrg, tell me when the test is over" He said to Li Bai who chuckled as he took out a book about mana that Di er had given him and started reading, he was already bored of the whole thing.

*******************************************************************

"Okay congratulations to all of you for passing the first test, to those of you that couldn't, don't be disheartened, there is still next year, each of you will be given a vial of Meridian Cleansing Elixir, for the rest of you please follow me to the next test area" Feng Shui said with a smile as grins appeared on the faces of the ones who couldn't pass the first test.

"Wow the sect is really wealthy enough to be gifting out elixirs" Felix said with surprise.

"Yes they are one of the richest sects On Zenith, their wealth is also one of the reasons why they were targeted by a sect of similar rank at the beginning of the sect's creation, they were targeted by a powerful sect that had existed for years but in one night, the whole sect was wiped out" Li Bai narrated.

"What?, one night!" Felix exclaimed in shock, he had been told of the power of 4-and-a-half and 5-star sects so he knew how impossible it sounded like to wipe one off in one night.

'Seems like this sect isn't as simple as it seemed' Felix thought as his expression turned serious.

"After that event, the name of the sect was solidified as one of the strongest and untouchable sects whether they had anything to do with the destruction of the sect or not, up till now nobody knows where they get their wealth from" Li Bai added with a sigh as his thoughts raced in his mind.

"But by all, means there would bound to be spies sent to investigate right?" Felix asked curiously.

"Yeah there have been but somehow all of them have been captured and traced back to their sources which led to the destruction of several other sects, why do you think the son of the Imperial general or the sister of a Queen would come to the sect, for the reputation and training plus it's an unspoken rule that all disciples of this sect are untouchable, that's why people from all around would go through so much trouble to get into the sect because even the outer disciples are treated like the princes, the higher you go in the sect, the stronger your reputation" Li Bai explained giving more shocking tales.

"Wow, when did it become so easy to destroy a sect" Felix said with a sigh, this was bigger than him.

"Okay everyone my journey ends here, my brother over here will supervise the second test, Brother Cai Xiong they're all yours" Feng Shui said with a bow as they arrived next to a huge structure like a sort of monolith, he then gestured towards a silver robed disciple with white hair who smiled and also bowed.

"Thank you brother, Feng, I congratulate all of you for passing the first test but this is where the real elimination begins" Cai Xiong said calmly to the participants of the second round.

"This test is made to test your deepest desires, before stepping into the world of cultivation, you need to have a firm heart, the first test will pick out those of you fit to cultivate and filter out those who have weak hearts, so we will proceed according to the results of the first round, with the first rank being the first, so Felix Clearwater please step up" Cai Xiong said calmly as all eyes landed on Felix who calmed his heart and mind as he walked over to the structure.

"Go on, the lesser time you take to pass, the higher your points will be" Cai Xiong said as Felix took a deep breath and stepped into the monolith.

"What in the…" Felix said in shock as he appeared somewhere very familiar.

"Dad you are back, we were so worried" A kid rushed up to him and grabbed his hand in concern.

"Son is that you?" Felix asked in shock as he recognized his environment, this was his house back on earth.
