Monarch Of Time-Novel

Chapter 457 - 457 Ball of fate

’’Change our future?’’

It was unknown who was the one who had asked this, as everyone stared at the white-robed Elder Zhuan standing next to the white-colored crystal-like ball, and waited for him to explain.

Seeing the confused expressions in the disciples’ faces, Elder Zhuan nodded his head and smiled as he then said

’’Right, today is your chance to change your future!

This white ball’s name is the ball of fate. It can read your fate and predict your future to a certain extent. Depending on your results today, you may even attract the attention of an Elder and be accepted as their personal disciple.

Becoming a disciple of an Elder will not only give you status in the sect, but you will also get more resources, a better training environment, and even personal guidance from the Elder.

Of course, every single outer court Elder is at least a peak rank 9 Dao King realm expert!

Now... let’s begin!’’

As soon as he finished speaking, the white-robed Elder Zhuan turned his attention towards a red-robed young man who was standing the closest to him.

This was actually the same young man that Liu Mei had fought during the third test when they competed for the Holy sect’s token. He had barely managed to pass through the fourth test and defeat an outer disciple of the Holy sect.

Of course, he had long since noticed Liu Mei taking the third test, and how easily she had dealt with her own opponent, making him shiver in the process. At the same time, a terrifying feeling had sprouted in his heart when he noticed the 3 peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivators that Liu Mei had summoned during the fourth test.

Although he hadn’t seen what had happened to the old woman with the red armor during the third test, he clearly remembered that Liu Mei’s enormous, hideous black beast, had clearly eaten the old man in black robes and the snake-eyed middle-aged man!

And yet, somehow, Liu Mei could actually command them freely! Of course, the red-robed young man had already sensed, that even though Liu Mei was commanding them, the 3 of them were already dead. Even in death the 3 of them weren’t free!

Of course, aside from Liu Mei, the red-robed young man had also noticed other terrifying monsters who had passed the fourth test as well, including Shun Long, the black-robed Jiang Chen, the golden-robed Sheng Huang and many others.

The geniuses who had appeared in the fourth test this time, had already far exceeded his expectations, especially the blue-robed young man next to Liu Mei whose cultivation was only at the peak of rank 1 in the Nascent Soul!

After turning his gaze towards another young man in red robes who was silently standing a few meters away from him, the red-robed young man took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, as he slowly walked towards the ball of fate next to Elder Zhuan.

Seeing the young man who was standing in front of him, Elder Zhuan nodded his head and turned his gaze at the ball of fate next to him, almost as if he was waiting for the red-robed young man to place his hand on top of it.

The red-robed young man named Zi Zhenya stretched out his hand, and without any hesitation, he placed it directly on top of the crystal-like white ball.

Everyone noticed that Zi Zhenya didn’t even need to circulate his qi, as the crystal ball lit up with a pale yellow light.

Seeing that everyone’s eyes were focused on him Elder Zhuan shook his head without a change in his expression, as he looked at Zi Zhenya and said in a calm tone

’’You can at most become a Dao King in your life, but it’s unlikely that you will even reach the late-stages of the Dao King realm, let alone become a Dao Emperor...

Next.’’

Zi Zhenya felt his hopes being shattered while a stifling overcame him in an instant.

’’Would at most become a Dao King? Wouldn’t even become a late-stage Dao King, let alone a Dao Emperor?

He was the descendant of an early rank 9 Dao King! His grandfather was a powerhouse and yet he had failed the fourth test of the Holy sect in the past. Zi Zhenya was certain that since he had managed to do so, he would at least become a peak Dao King like Elder Zhuan, if not a Dao Emperor.’’

Everyone’s eyes were focused on the red-robed young man who had yet to move from his spot, almost as if he was in a daze, before Elder Zhuan’s words sounded once again

’’Did you think that every single one of you who passed the test would become peak Dao Kings at the very least, or even Dao Emperors? You never know what’s going to happen in your life, and whether you will survive to see the sunrise tomorrow.

As cultivators you should know that talent isn’t everything! You also need luck, powerful comprehension ability, and most importantly, a strong will. Some of you may not even enter the middle-stages of the Dao King realm in your lives, let alone the late-stages. Of course, some of you may even become powerful Dao Emperors, but if you think that becoming a Dao Emperor is so easy, then think again! Those with terrifying talent will find it even more difficult to step into the Dao King realm in the future, let alone the Dao Emperor!’’

As he said this, Elder Zhuan’s gaze swept past Shun Long, Liu Mei, Jiang Chen, and the other terrifying geniuses that had caught his eye during the fourth test, almost as if he was warning them.

The red-robed Zi Zhenya stepped away from the ball of fate, but a determined look had appeared in his eyes. He simply refused to believe that he wouldn’t become a peak Dao King in the future!

As Zi Zhenya stepped back from the ball of fate, Elder Zhuan turned his gaze towards Liu Mei, and looking at her with a curious look in his eyes, he then said

’’You are next.’’
