#968 - Strength to pull up mountains and courage to conquer the world

As soon as Jun Wuxie spoke, the crowd below erupted in an uproar.

That body cultivator actually intended to lift the cauldron with one hand, and he even looked confident.

Did he not have any self-awareness?

When he lifted the cauldron with both hands, his face was already flushed red and his neck was thick, appearing quite strained.

Now, wanting to lift it with one hand was simply a pipe dream.

The difficulty of lifting a runic bronze cauldron weighing ninety million xuan with one hand was definitely more than doubled; it was at least equivalent to being able to lift a cauldron three times the weight with both hands to achieve it!

"Hahaha, what boastful words! Does he really think that body cultivators can do anything just because they have some brute strength?"

"If you can lift it with one hand, I'll kneel down and call you grandpa!"

"What bragging! Lifting the cauldron with one hand is truly the funniest joke I've heard in my life!"

"Heh heh, who do you think you are, a humanoid ancient savage beast in its youth?"

"Hmph, body cultivator, usually looked down upon, and now he's come here to find a sense of existence?"

"If you can lift it with one hand, I'll perform an upside-down shit in public today!"

… …

A large number of people below sneered and mocked him, mostly those who had been eliminated in the preliminary selection.

When they went on stage, they had used all their strength, but could only shake the bronze cauldron at most.

Now, this guy actually wanted to lift the cauldron with one hand, which made them feel absurd, and at the same time, there was a kind of inexplicable anger in their hearts.

Compared to this, what were they considered, trash?

They felt that this person was just trying to attract attention and gain a sense of existence.

"Are you really going to try?"

The two deacons of Qingyun Cave Heaven were stunned.

They didn't want to recruit body cultivators, feeling that it was meaningless and the growth limit was too low, so they gave the assessment standard of lifting the cauldron with one hand, just wanting to make this body cultivator give up in the face of difficulty.

What they didn't expect was that this body cultivator didn't mean to back down at all, and really wanted to lift the cauldron with one hand.

"Have you considered it clearly? This cauldron weighs up to ninety million xuan. Lifting the cauldron with one hand is very likely to hurt you. If the cauldron falls down and crushes you to death or injury, we will not be responsible."

They reminded him like this, their tone not very good, feeling that this body cultivator was too insensible.

"I am responsible for my own life and death, and it has nothing to do with you."

"Young man, we are doing this for your own good. You really don't know what's good for you!"

"Hmph, lifting the cauldron with one hand, we have been in charge of the preliminary selection for so many years, and we have never seen anyone who can do it! Do you think you can start a precedent? If you can lift this cauldron with one hand, the two of us will dig out these eyes in public to show that we are blind!"

The two deacons were very annoyed, with sneers on their faces. They had been in charge of the preliminary selection assessment for many years, and they disliked young people who were overly confident and didn't know their own limitations. People who were too arrogant and didn't know their own limitations were destined not to go far.

Jun Wuxie smiled and didn't speak. The right hand that was grabbing the edge of the cauldron slightly exerted force, and the palm and fingers glowed with a crimson blood energy, deliberately concealing the original color of the blood energy.

Many people had sneers on their faces, crossed their arms, and waited to see him make a fool of himself, having already thought of words of ridicule and mockery in their hearts.

Rumble!

At this moment, they saw the body cultivator's hand suddenly exert force, and the bronze cauldron weighing ninety million xuan actually trembled with a buzzing sound, and the whole thing rose from the ground, directly rushing into the high sky.

In an instant, everyone's eyes widened, and their eyeballs almost fell to the ground.

How was that possible?

What did they see?

That was a runic bronze cauldron weighing ninety million xuan, and it was actually thrown more than ten meters high by that body cultivator.

The smiles on the faces of those who were sneering and waiting to mock him all froze at this time, their facial muscles stiff, and they were directly frightened silly.

"It's just lifting the cauldron with one hand. I can barely do it."

Jun Wuxie's words were plain. His right hand supported the sky, his palm and fingers spread out, and the bronze cauldron fell, the bottom touching his palm. With a clang, it trembled and was steadily held in the air by him.

Countless people opened their mouths slightly, their eyes wide, looking at such a scene in disbelief.

Those who had passed the preliminary selection assessment, standing on the high platform, also looked at such a scene in shock.

They knew that the power of body cultivators was very strong, but how could it be so strong?

Dang!

At this time, Jun Wuxie's palm and fingers vibrated slightly, the bronze cauldron trembled, and he threw it more than ten meters high at once, the metallic tremor resounding throughout the assessment site.

In an instant, the amazingly heavy bronze cauldron fell with lightning speed, was supported by him, and then thrown up again, then fell, then thrown up, then fell again.

Such a scene shocked everyone so much that their eyeballs almost fell to the ground.

Was this still a human?

It was simply insane.

His strength could uproot mountains and his spirit could overshadow the world! The body cultivator in front of him completely interpreted this sentence!

It was too terrifying. How could he do it to this extent?

The two deacons were completely stunned at this time, staring blankly at this scene.

Their understanding was subverted.

The body cultivator in front of them was much stronger than the body cultivators they had heard of before!

Was he a half-step Saint Realm or had he already stepped into the Saint Realm?

Even if he had stepped into the Saint Realm, it would at most be the initial entry into the Saint Realm.

In this realm, who could do it to such an extent?

"Two seniors, am I considered to have passed the preliminary selection assessment?"

Jun Wuxie walked towards the two deacons while tossing the bronze cauldron, as if he was playing with a toy, giving people an extremely shocking visual impact.

The two deacons came back to their senses, their lips trembling. Hearing Jun Wuxie's words and watching him walk over in such a posture, their faces were as ugly as they could be.

They had been in charge of the preliminary selection assessment for so many years, and it was the first time they had been slapped in the face in public. This slap was too loud, making them feel very uncomfortable, and their faces were burning.

Especially since they had just said in public that if Jun Wuxie could lift it with one hand, they would dig out their own eyes to show that they were blind.

"You've passed, you've passed the assessment, quickly put the cauldron down, don't play around… …"

There was a sense of powerlessness in the words of the two deacons. Their faces had been slapped too hard, and they had lost face today.

"Since I've passed the preliminary selection assessment, then I should naturally put it down."

Jun Wuxie smiled, threw the cauldron up, and when it was about to fall to the ground, he reached out and grabbed the edge of the cauldron. The falling momentum of the cauldron suddenly stagnated, and he slowly placed it on the ground.

Dong!

The entire high platform trembled.

He couldn't help but sigh that the stability of the space in the upper realm far surpassed that of the lower realm. Such a heavy cauldron didn't cause the space to vibrate at all.

Also, the ground of this high platform looked like it was made of ordinary bluestone, with only some simple defensive runes added, but it could withstand the impact of the cauldron's weight.

The material structure of this upper realm was also surprisingly strong.

"What's your name? Having passed the preliminary selection, you should be registered."

The two deacons took out a jade slip to prepare to record. They looked like old gods were present, as if they had forgotten that they had just said they would dig out their eyes.

Of course, Jun Wuxie wouldn't deliberately mention it to embarrass them in public. He wasn't interested in the two deacons digging out their eyeballs at all.

No matter what, these two were already considered seniors of the sect, and it would be very foolish to offend them like that.

"My name is Yue Wuxie."

Jun Wuxie didn't use his real name. This was the name he had given himself after careful consideration. Using the previous surname Jun was definitely not possible, because there were too few people with the surname Jun, and this surname could easily make interested people associate it.

Yue, used Yue Yao's surname. Yue Yao was a descendant of the ancient gods, the Shenyue clan, with Yue as their surname.

The name followed his previous Wuxie. The name Yue Wuxie shouldn't make people associate him with Jun Wuxie, after all, the surnames were different.

"Alright, I've registered it. You go over there and wait for a while. We'll take you to Qingyun Cave Heaven later, and the entry assessment will begin in two days."

They pointed to the crowd of people who had passed the preliminary selection assessment before.

"Two seniors, I also have a female relative. We depend on each other for life and have always been inseparable. This time, I'm going to Qingyun Cave Heaven, and I want to bring her with me. I wonder if that's possible?"

Hearing this, the two deacons wanted to refuse as a conditioned reflex, because it was against the rules. If relatives wanted to go to see the entry assessment, they had to go on their own. There was no reason to go with them.

But thinking that the two of them had just said they would dig out their eyeballs, but afterwards this Yue Wuxie didn't mention a word, which could be considered to have saved them their last bit of face, they nodded and agreed.

"Thank you two seniors."

Jun Wuxie clasped his fists in thanks, then walked to the edge of the high platform and looked at Jing Ya below the stage, saying: "Aunt Jing, come up quickly."

"Okay."

Jing Ya smiled, walking gracefully, her lotus steps blooming, her posture swaying, it could be said that she was full of charm and unparalleled beauty, making everyone's eyes blurred, and they were almost silly.

At this time, the two deacons were collecting the bronze cauldron.

When they were collecting the cauldron, they also secretly checked it to see if there was a problem with the gravity runes inside.

As a result, they found that there were no problems at all.

Jun Wuxie saw such a small action, and he was very speechless.

"Um, who was it just now who said they would call me grandpa? Does anyone dare to stand up?"

The crowd below suddenly became silent. The person who said that Jun Wuxie would be called grandpa if he lifted the bronze cauldron with one hand looked around, pretending that it had nothing to do with him, and acting dumb.

"Also, I remember someone said they would perform an upside-down shit in public. Who is it? You can start your performance now."

"Hahaha!"

The people below burst into laughter, and everyone turned their heads to look around, looking for the one who said they would shit upside down before.

As a result, they found that the guy was bowing his body and quietly leaving, and was about to run to the edge of the square.

"Hey, the one who was going to perform an upside-down shit, stop right there! How can you go back on your word? We're waiting for your wonderful performance!"

"Don't run away, hurry back and take a dump!"

"Hey, are you a sore loser or just constipated? Must be having trouble squeezing it out, hahaha!"

...

Everyone shouted at the person. How could that fellow dare to linger? Knowing he had been discovered, he vanished like he had oil on the soles of his feet.

...

At this moment, on the pavilion at the edge of the plaza, the Peak Lord of True Martial Peak stroked his beard, his face sometimes showing a hint of longing, and sometimes revealing a touch of worry.

"What an excellent body cultivator. Perhaps you can go further than other body cultivators. In the long years to come, I will be satisfied as long as you can break through to the Saint King Realm."

The Peak Lord of True Martial Peak was very much looking forward to the future.

His lineage had few members. Adding everyone up, there were only a few people, but their strength was not weak.

His few personal disciples, although not the strongest of the sect's five peaks, were still good enough to rank among the top ten.

However, it would be difficult for these disciples to shoulder the heavy responsibility of True Martial Peak's inheritance in the future.

Even if they cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Saint King Realm's Zenith Heaven position in the future and ascended to the position of Peak Lord, they might not necessarily become the leaders among the five Peak Lords.

After all, in this generation of disciples, the other peaks have produced some outstanding talents. Several personal disciples are quite powerful and are also candidates for the future Peak Lords of their respective peaks.

Jun Wuxie's potential is greater than the potential of those body cultivators he understood. If he can truly cultivate to the Saint King Realm, even if he doesn't reach the Great Perfection of the Saint King Realm's Zenith Heaven position, but reaches the peak of the Saint King Realm's Zenith Heaven position, with the special nature of his fleshly body cultivator, he would probably be hard to beat in the sect.

"Perhaps my expectations are too high. This is an unrealistic extravagance. Even if he is more outstanding than other body cultivators, I estimate that he will only go slightly further in the Saint Realm."

The Peak Lord of True Martial Peak shook his head and sighed inwardly.

He didn't know whether the decision he made today would bury a hidden danger for the sect in the future.

If the person wanted by the two great dynasties was really him, once his identity was exposed, and if the Azure Cloud Grotto Heaven could not clear its relationship, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"I hope I haven't made a mistake. Just for that glimmer of almost impossible hope, I may be putting the sect's future in a dangerous situation. Perhaps I am being a little selfish in doing this, but I still don't want to give up. When people are alive, they always have to have expectations in their hearts, otherwise, what is the meaning of life..."

The Peak Lord of True Martial Peak took a deep look at Jun Wuxie on the high platform and turned to leave.

...

At this time, at the examination site, on the high platform, the two deacons of Azure Cloud Grotto Heaven came to the edge of the high platform, looked at the crowded scene below, and said: "Everyone, the Azure Cloud Grotto Heaven's once-in-ten-year selection examination has come to an end, and today it has come to a successful conclusion. In the next ten years, our Azure Cloud Grotto Heaven will occasionally recruit outer sect and handyman disciples. Those who are interested in joining us can pay attention to the news of our Azure Cloud Grotto Heaven at any time. If there are those with outstanding talents, they can be promoted to inner sect disciples without following the usual rules!"

After the two deacons finished speaking, they sacrificed a flying sword.

The flying sword quickly grew larger, and energy overflowed from the sword body, evolving clouds and mist around it.

"Get on the flying sword."

They said to the disciples who passed the selection examination.

Everyone jumped onto the flying sword one after another, and Jun Wuxie also pulled Jing Ya onto the flying sword.

"Two deacons, please wait!"

Just as the two deacons were about to board the flying sword and leave, several middle-aged men in brocade robes hurried over, followed by several young people.

The faces of those young people were not unfamiliar. They were members of today's examination, but they were eliminated.

"Several family heads, what's the matter?"

"Two deacons!"

Those people came to the high platform, respectfully performed a salute, and kept their posture very low, saying: "Please, two adults, open the door of convenience and give my son a chance to be introduced into the Azure Cloud Grotto Heaven. We are grateful."

As they spoke, they took out a jade box from their storage rings and offered it with both hands: "A little bit of second-grade Saint Pill, please accept it with a smile."

Second-grade Saint Pill!

The two deacons showed surprise.

This grade of medicinal pill is an excellent resource needed by half-step Saint Kings, and even strong people who have just entered the Saint King Realm can use it.

The people of the several major families in Azure Cloud City are really generous and willing to spend a lot of money.

In order to let their direct descendants enter the sect, they even took out this kind of medicinal pill worth tens of thousands of low-grade Saint Spirit Pills.

"Put it away. It is impossible for us to violate the rules of the sect and open the back door for you. If you want to join our Azure Cloud Grotto Heaven, you have to follow our rules. Don't think about using these little tricks."

After the two deacons finished speaking, without waiting for them to respond, they waved their sleeves, and the flying sword broke through the air and disappeared into the vast sky.
