Chapter 5873
The young deacon also noticed the abnormality. He re-examined David, his attitude becoming much more cautious: “Fellow Daoist, since you insist, then participate in the test. The test consists of three parts: cultivation level test, attack test, and defense test. Please follow me.”
David nodded and followed the deacon to the testing area.
The first part was the cultivation level test.
On the testing platform was a spirit-testing crystal. The cultivator placed their hand on it and injected immortal power. The crystal would display the approximate cultivation level based on the quality and quantity of the immortal power.
Some cultivators would deliberately hide their realm or use drugs to enhance their realm aura.
If one relied solely on aura to discern the other’s realm, there would be errors.
This would be considered cheating, but there was no way to cheat in front of this spirit-testing crystal.
The spirit-testing crystals of the cultivators tested earlier mostly glowed with red, orange, and yellow light, corresponding to the fifth, sixth, and seventh ranks of the Celestial Immortal Realm, respectively.
When it was David’s turn, he placed his hand on the crystal and slowly channeled his Chaotic Immortal Power into it.
The crystal first lit up with a faint white light, representing the weakest level of the Celestial Immortal Realm, the first rank.
Seeing this light, the young deacon’s eyes filled with disdain.
The others also began to point and whisper.
The burly man who had been frightened by David also revealed a fierce glint in his eyes upon seeing this.
This spirit-testing crystal couldn’t be faked; it seemed David’s realm was indeed the first rank of the Celestial Immortal Realm.
In that case, he wouldn’t need to be afraid of him anymore.
That terrifying aura just now was probably created using some kind of magical artifact.
Thinking of this, the burly man wanted to step forward and teach David a lesson to vent his anger.
But just as the burly man was about to step forward, the spirit-testing crystal suddenly changed.
The white light began to shift, turning gray. Then, within the gray, halos of seven colors—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—emerged. These seven colors swirled and eventually intertwined into a

“What…what’s going on?”
The young deacon
was stunned.
He had presided over tests for many years and had never seen the spirit-testing crystal react this way.
The surrounding crowd whispered amongst themselves, bewildered.
The burly man’s eyes widened in shock, and he stopped in his tracks.
David understood.
The chaotic immortal power encompassed all things, not to mention the baleful aura, the power of the divine dragon, the power of the three races, and the power of various supreme fires within David’s body. This mixture of powers prevented the spirit-testing crystal from accurately determining his cultivation level, hence the abnormal reaction.
“Perhaps there’s something wrong with the crystal,”
David said calmly. “Why not proceed to the next test?”
The young deacon hesitated, glancing at an elderly man not far away who had closed his eyes to meditate. This was an elder sent by the Earth Fire Pavilion to supervise the recruitment.
The old man opened his eyes, gave David a deep look, and slowly nodded: “Continue.”
The second test: attack test.
Three specially made trial pillars stood in the testing area, corresponding to the defensive strength of the fifth, sixth, and seventh ranks of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
Cultivators must launch their attacks from ten zhang away, judging their attack power by the extent of damage to the testing pillar.
Most cultivators who passed previously could only leave deep marks on the fifth-grade testing pillar, while a few sixth-grade cultivators could leave shallow marks.
As for the seventh-grade testing pillar, no one has been able to budge it.
David walked to the testing position, not taking out his Dragon-Slaying Sword, but instead forming a sword shape with his fingers, and pointed at the sixth-grade testing pillar in the middle from a distance.
A hazy gray sword aura shot out from his fingertip, silent and not particularly fast.
“That’s it?”
someone muttered softly, “Weak and powerless, not even a hint of power…”
Before the words were even finished, the gray sword energy had already lightly landed on the sixth-grade trial pillar.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, no ear-piercing metallic clang.
There was only a soft “swoosh,” like a red-hot iron rod being inserted into snow.
Under everyone’s dumbfounded gaze, the trial pillar, which was strong enough to withstand a full-force attack from a sixth-grade Celestial Immortal, was easily pierced by the gray sword energy!
Leaving a hole the size of a thumb, with smooth, mirror-like edges, completely transparent!
Even more bizarrely, the material around the hole was not violently destroyed, but rather seemed to have been… directly erased from the world by some force!
The entire place was deathly silent.
You could hear a pin drop.
A few breaths later, gasps of astonishment rose and fell.
“This…how is this possible?!”
“The sixth-grade trial pillar…was pierced through?!”
“What kind of supernatural power did he use? I didn’t even see it!”
“That sword energy is strange! It’s definitely not ordinary sword energy!”
The burly man who had mocked David the most earlier was now deathly pale, filled with lingering fear.
He secretly rejoiced that he hadn’t actually attacked earlier, otherwise he would probably be the one with a hole in his body now.
The young deacon opened his mouth, but couldn’t utter a word for a long time.
In all his years of presiding over tests, he had seen the strongest Celestial Immortal cultivators, who had only left a half-inch deep slash mark on the sixth-grade trial pillar. To
pierce through it like this…was unheard of!
The supervising elder opened his eyes again, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, staring intently at David, as if trying to see through him.
David, however, acted as if he had done something insignificant, turning to the third test.The third item on the test site
is the defense test.
In the testing area, there are three puppets, each capable of launching attacks equivalent to a fifth, sixth, or seventh-grade Celestial Immortal.
Cultivators must stand in designated positions, neither dodging nor evading, and withstand three attacks from the puppets. Their defensive strength is judged based on the degree of injury.
David walked to the testing position.
“Please select the puppet level,”
the young steward’s voice already carried respect.
“Seventh grade,” David said calmly.
“Seventh grade?” Another gasp rippled through the crowd.
The attack of a seventh-grade puppet was the real power of a seventh-grade Celestial Immortal!
Even a seventh-grade Celestial Immortal cultivator wouldn’t dare claim they could withstand three hits unscathed!
This young man with only a first-grade aura was actually challenging a seventh-grade puppet?
“Fellow Daoist, the power of a seventh-grade puppet is immense, perhaps…” the young steward kindly reminded him.
“It’s alright, let’s begin,” David interrupted him.
The young steward looked at the supervising elder, who nodded slightly.
“Activate the seventh-grade puppet, first strike!” the young deacon announced loudly.
A three-zhang-tall, crimson metal puppet’s eyes glowed red, its right arm rose, and a blinding crimson light condensed on its fist, emanating a scorching and violent aura.
“Boom!”
The puppet unleashed a punch, the crimson fist shadow tearing through the air, carrying a scorching shockwave, heading straight for David’s face!
