Demonic Forest

After some time it's Li Wei's turn to get examine and most of the participants have either pass or didn't.

"Just put your hand in the middle of this pillar and put your qi in it," The examiner said to him.

Li Wei followed the instruction given to him even though he already knows it. Putting his hand in the middle of the pillar and putting some of his qi into it, he suddenly sees the exam results that are written in the pillar.

[Li Wei]

[16]

[9th Stage of Qi Gathering Realm]

[Talent: 9]

"Above average, just one more in talent it would have been better," The examiner said and he points to Li Wei where to go.

He already knew what his result is since he can only absorb 9 qi strands or exp per day that is in his system interface.

For now, he only observes the participants, and at least half of the participants of this exam failed to pass. There are many who tried the exams but failed, in Li Wei's estimation there should be more than a thousand who participated in the exam.

That is many people since this not the only place where this is going to be held, there are many towns near this area and the territory of Valley of Delights is huge so it is impossible to know how many will participants there will be in the test in the Demonic Forest.

Aside from Li Wei and Xiao Hong, there is none who have managed to become the 9th Stage of Qi Gathering Realm. They are the cream of the crop of this town.

Knowing that Xiao Hong and Li Wei have an equal cultivation level, Xiao Hong is pretty pissed since some of the attention diverted to Li Wei but Li Wei just shrugged his shoulders at the people who are looking at him.

He didn't even bother to look at Xiao Hong since this guy is just a fodder for now, arrogance will get him sooner or later. He will face the world much harsher than he would expect that even his ancestors will not see it coming.

Seeing that there are no more participants Xiao Hong stopped glaring at Li Wei and focused on what is coming next. The inner disciple of the sect who manages the examination suddenly gets a talisman from his storage ring and he put his qi into it and talks to it.

"Greeting to Elder Mao Chen, this is inner sect disciple Sun Lan of Valley of Delights. I'm the one in charge of leading the examinations in the Spirit Grass Town and I want to inform you venerable elder that we are already finished and are waiting for you to take us to the next part of the examinations" Mao Chen said in his most respectful tone that he can have.

"I'll be in there, just wait for me" Replied the person over the other person in the talisman. Even though his voice is weak there is an authority in it that will make you want to respect him more.

Li Wei also hears it and feels it, he just knew that it has something to do with the quirks of heaven. The higher your cultivation level the more you will feel like you have authority over those whose cultivation is lower than yours.

Li Wei didn't get affected that much since he already experienced it many times and his mental defense is higher compare to others.

"Whoah! Is the sect elder going to bring us to the examinations himself? That is crazy, I will manage to fly in a huge sword today!"

"Yeah even if I fail in the next exam at least I can brag that I managed to ride a flying sword in my life!"

"We will even see a sect elder who is at Nascent Soul Realm in action! This is a blessing to us"

Li Wei can hear those excited and exaggerated conversations of the participants, well it's understandable since these are people who haven't seen someone stronger that went beyond that level.

'Nascent Soul Realm, that is the cultivation level that I should aim for the next three years. However, that is going to be hard even with my cheat that will grant me an experience per day. I need good cultivation techniques to make the amount of exp or absorbed qi to be higher' Li Wei thought to himself when a technique suddenly came to his mind.

He can only have those techniques if he is a core disciple or a disciple of an elder though. With the help of that technique, Li Wei is sure that he will rise faster and he will only get stronger since this time he wants to focus more on body cultivation since his cheat will be the one to deal with qi cultivation or spirit cultivation.

Li Wei is thinking of more way in case he failed to be a disciple of an elder of the Valley of Delights, he is not sure he can impress an elder with his talent and he might even think that Li Wei only eats cultivation pills to achieve a higher level of cultivation.

'I need to show everything that I got and bet on it. If I failed and die then that's it. I already died once, wait did I die in my first world? maybe I don't even exist at all but that doesn't matter since dying is not a bad concept to me anyway' Li Wei thought to himself when suddenly a huge sword descended in front of him slowly with an old man as its rider.

"All of you who have managed to pass the first two tests and the disciple of our sects ride now since the next test will start sooner after we arrive," The elder said in his sophisticated voice.

Everyone who heard it quickly jumps into the huge sword which became larger and larger to accommodate everyone. When everyone including Li Wei are already in the huge sword the elder didn't say another word and he directly controls it in some directions in which he came from earlier.

The movement of the sword is fast however they are being protected by the elder of the sect that they don't even feel anything. They just look in fascination and the speed that they are going, as for Li Wei, he just looks at the surroundings and he is preparing his self for the next test that is going to happen.

He looks at his surroundings when he notices that they are entering a forest that is vibrating a different aura. These plants and leaves in the trees are black which screams of that something is not right.

Li Wei looks at the other participants with him and they clearly shudder from the sight that they see. If it is Li Wei's first time seeing it he might also be scared however to him this is not even scary anymore.

When he is a player, this place is a gold mine to harvest many materials like some Demonic Beasts carcass, other treasure like rare herbs, and other rare materials like ores and spirit stones.

He also needs to get serious now since he will show some of his capabilities to be a disciple of an elder of the sect.

After traveling more in the forest Li Wei sees that there is a huge gathering of people in one of the places and with the elder's control they landed there safely.

"How many passed the test in there? That should be the last set of participants" An elder of the Valley of Delights asked after seeing them land in there.

The elder who takes the participants from the Spirit Grass Town didn't say anything but looks at the inner disciple of the sect who manages the examination earlier.

Seeing that the elder is looking at him, Sun Lan smiled again and greeted the elder who asked the question first.

"There are 469 people who passed the test from the Spirit Grass Town and the nearby villages surrounding it" Sun Lan said in a polite tone again while smiling.

After hearing the answer of Sun Lan, the elder who asked the question just nodded and told everyone to prepare since the test is going to start sooner.

"Before the start of the contest make sure to get put these bracelets so that we can at least assure your safety. That bracelet is a treasure that will help you block some artacks from Qi Gathering Demonic Beasts in case you are in danger"Elder Mao Chen said to them while taking out a bunch of those from his storage ring.

" You need to wear it since we can watch you through it and we will be able to record your results. If you are not going to follow the rules then it is better if you leave this place" He added to which all of them nodded since it is going to be helpful for them.
