The God of Sky and Earth

Chapter 701: The King-Grade Soul

In a corner of the palace hall, several disciples of Yutian Palace were there, pushing three old and worn stone tables into place from the side.

The square tables stood at waist height, about half a zhang in length, placed respectively in front and behind the three Deputy Palace Masters.

Following that, several disciples of Yutian Palace bowed and respectfully stepped back to the side.

In the hands of the three Deputy Palace Masters, each of them then placed a small square stone, about the size of a baby, onto the stone table.

They called it a square stone, but it was pure white like jade, sparkling and crystal clear, just like a piece of crystal. On its surface were intricate patterns of symbols that seemed to come alive.

A gentle and elusive aura emanated from it, giving one the sensation that even their soul would be stirred by its presence, bringing a profound sense of enjoyment.

"This is the Soul Measuring Heavenly Crystal. When it is time for the testing, you should relax your whole body and mind. Do not resist it. This kind of testing will not harm you even the slightest bit. It simply measures the quality of your soul's level."

Deputy Palace Master Yun Ding took the lead and spoke to the first young disciple of Tianxuan Sect in front of him, saying, "Take three big steps forward and state your name, age, and sect. Others, please don't interrupt later!"

Upon hearing this, the young disciple of Tianxuan Sect stepped forward, his eyes filled with a hint of nervousness but more importantly, excitement. With confidence in his stride, he took three big steps and respectfully bowed to Deputy Palace Master Yun Ding, saying, "I am Zhao Chuannan, a disciple of Tianxuan Sect, exactly twenty years old. It's an honor to meet you, Palace Master!"

Deputy Palace Master Yun Ding nodded, his gaze gentle as magical hand seals started to form in his hands. His robes rustled slightly, and his body began to emanate waves of energy.

On the side, Deputy Palace Master Yan Lu also began to move, forming hand seals, and in front of him stood a young disciple of Tianxuan Sect.

As Deputy Palace Master Yan Lu's final hand seal landed, a radiant glow enveloped his palm, instantly touching the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone in front of him.

"Splash..."

Suddenly, the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone began to emit a gentle glow from its surface. The light grew brighter and brighter, dazzling and pristine, while the mysterious runes upon it shimmered incessantly, releasing a profound aura.

Finally, a brilliant light emerged, accompanied by fluctuations of energy. It enveloped the young man as if it were a radiant curtain descending upon him.

And then the radiance on this curtain of light, like a cocoon of light, completely enshrouded the young man within it.

The dazzling light made it impossible for the young man to look directly at it, causing him to squint slightly.

"Boom!"

On the side, in front of Deputy Palace Master Yun Ding, stood a young man named Zhao Chuannan from the Tianxuan Sect. At this moment, he too was enveloped in the same cocoon of light.

A faint, elusive light shimmered like a serpentine wave, flowing into Zhao Chuannan's forehead.

As the shimmering light flowed into Zhao Chuannan's forehead, suddenly, within his brow, there began to ripple an invisible wave of motion. It was a kind of soulful tremor.

And then, upon the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone, there suddenly flickered a brilliant arc, as if it contained the likeness of lightning and thunder.

Finally, above the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone, two glowing halos, resembling moons, appeared. Five arcs of light also shimmered intensely upon the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone.

Upon seeing the five arcs of light and the two glowing halos, Deputy Palace Master Yun Ding nodded and said, "Zhao Chuannan, a Rank 2 Intermediate Artifact Refiner, possessing a King Grade soul level. Having passed the examination, come forward, imprint your blood as an oath, and engrave the Yutian Palace registration emblem on you."

As Deputy Palace Master Yun Ding's words echoed, a disciple from Yutian Palace beside the hall was also recording the results of the examination.

The light on the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone gradually dimmed and returned to a state of calmness.

"Thank you, Palace Master Yun Ding," she said with gratitude.

Zhao Chuannan opened his eyes, his expression filled with delight. Not every alchemist could pass the examination of Yutian Palace, especially not someone with a remarkable King Grade soul like him. Overjoyed, he eagerly approached to have the emblem of Yutian Palace's level engraved.

In the hands of Deputy Palace Master Yun Ding, a bronze emblem appeared. It had two corners and started to engrave the badge for the disciple.

"Kingly soul, well done, well done."

Upon hearing the words of Deputy Palace Master Yun Ding, Elder Jian Wannian of Tianxuan Sect couldn't help but show a faint smile. The power of a King Grade soul was indeed impressive.

"Wu Yu, a highly skilled alchemist at the second rank, possessing a noble and powerful soul, has passed the examination."

From the side, the gentle voice of Deputy Palace Master Yan Lu could be heard, as he announced that the young alchemist had also passed the examination.

The young man's face lit up with joy, his happiness knew no bounds.

Looking at these two individuals passing the examination, both possessing King Grade souls, many young disciples couldn't help but envy them.

"A second-grade high-ranking alchemist, with a King Grade soul level, very impressive, very impressive." Elder Jian Wannian's expression was filled with joy, appearing quite proud.

"Second-grade Weaponsmith, Alchemist, Intermediate Level, High Level, King Grade soul..."

As for these things, Su Yi secretly pondered, his face filled with confusion, completely unable to understand.

"Just look at it, later you can check calmly. I will tell you later. As for the results of those two, at best they are just ordinary."

Xi Wuqing's message whispered into Su Yi's ears, as if sensing Su Yi's confusion.

"Just ordinary stuff..."

Su Yi glanced sideways at Xi Wuqing, clearly not believing his words. This guy just had high standards, that's all. Looking at Jian Wannian's expression, it was clear that he possessed a soul of King Grade.

"Come up for testing, please. Tell us your name, age, so we can estimate your level."

Just as Su Yi was muttering to himself, the words of Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan finally came. The Soul Tamer testing was about to begin.

"Liu Xiaohu, from the Tianxuan Sect, is twenty years old this year."

The young man dressed in a robe, who was standing first in line, immediately stepped forward to Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan. He had a confident expression on his face.

"Um, let's begin the testing now. Just relax yourself, the testing won't harm you at all."

Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan spoke up, and his handprint began to solidify. It was just like the testing done by alchemists and craftsmen. Above the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone in front of him, a radiance started to spread, growing brighter and more dazzling. Finally, it enveloped Liu Xiaohu like a cocoon of light.

Under the dazzling light, Liu Xiaohu's eyes gently closed, and there was a ripple of movement at the center of his forehead.

In that instant, Jian Wannian's gaze immediately fell upon Liu Xiaohu, filled with attention. It seemed that he held great expectations for Liu Xiaohu, and his expression grew subtly nervous.

The gazes of Bai Mingshan and Elder Suyun also met each other's eyes.

After all, Soul Tamers are somewhat different compared to alchemists and craftsmen. They attract special attention.

In front of Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan, the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone shimmered with increasingly radiant light. Even the stone itself trembled slightly, flashing dazzling electric arcs, as if there were bursts of thunder and lightning contained within.

Finally, on the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone, three crescent-shaped glows appeared, and six dazzling electric arcs sparkled intensely on the stone.

"Roarrrr..."

Faintly, upon the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone, there also emanated roars of beasts, accompanied by a tremendous surge of energy that resonated throughout the hall, causing quite a commotion.
