Chapter 1436 - Diamond Immortal Stone
Upon hearing this voice, the eager crowd immediately followed the stairs on the side of the square stage and rushed up. On the bright and clear stage, thousands of white jade tables were arranged neatly. On each table, there were numbers engraved, corresponding to the wooden plates that people received when they signed up.
Before long, everyone had found their seats.
Tang Huan rushed over just as the registration was about to end, and landed at more than four thousand. The table that belonged to him was naturally also behind this stage.
At the edge of the square platform opposite to the thousands of Weapon Refiner disciples, there was a small square platform that was around a hundred meters in length and width.
The 18th step connected the small square stage with the bright and clear stage below. On the small square stage, a beautiful and magnificent palace was constructed.
At this moment, there were dozens of people standing in front of the palace hall.
Tang Huan did not check their auras, but the person who was standing there right now should be Tian Gong from the Heavenly Sword Sect. Currently, there were three medium-grade Heavencraft martial artists and 64 low-grade Heavencraft martial artists in the Emperor Palace. In the 'Flowing Flower Domain', they were considered to be at the bottom of the three great sects.
Among the group of Heaven Arts, Tang Huan caught sight of a familiar figure, it was Lu Zhiyuan's elder brother, Lu Zhitao.
In regards to this, Tang Huan was not surprised. When the Inner Palace met with trouble, Tang Huan had already sensed that he was an Inferior Sky Craftsman, so appearing in the Clear Sky Platform today was not surprising. When they left that day, Lu Zhitao had said that the two of them would meet again very soon. Now, they had indeed met again.
Lu Zhitao seemed to have also discovered Tang Huan's existence, his lips only curled slightly, and shifted his gaze, not paying too much attention.
"Everyone."
In front of the hall, the loud and clear voice sounded again. The one who spoke was a middle-aged man wearing a light yellow robe, "This election is different from the previous ones. This time, as long as you are in the Outer Palace, no matter what happens in the Tools Method Attainments, you have to participate. "
"The reason why you have made such a change is very simple. It is so that Heavenly Palace's disciples who are not Divine Ranked Heavenly Blacksmith s have the chance to enter the Inner Palace and receive great amounts of nurturing. It is imperative that you do not let those Weapon Refiner s with outstanding talent, but whose Tools Method Attainments s are still relatively low, be left out of the Heavenly Imperial Palace."
"Next up, I hope that everyone can perform well. No matter if you are a Saint Ranked Heavenly Blacksmith or a Heaven Ranked Heavenly Blacksmith, as long as your performance is outstanding, you will have the chance to be selected as the Heavenly Fault."
"Do you all understand?"
"Understood!"
On the bright and clear stage, thousands of Weapon Refiner responded with different expressions. Some were anxious, some were excited, some were full of confidence, and some were nervous.
"Very good."
The middle-aged man nodded in satisfaction and clapped lightly.
Even though the clapping sound wasn't loud, it resounded throughout the entire square. Soon after, two rows of cultivators came out from the palace. There were hundreds of them, and each of them had a tray in their hands. There were flashing white lights on the trays, and each of them had ten white balls.
Those who distributed these spheres were obviously the servants of the Heavenly Blacksmith's Heavenly Imperial Palace, the artifact spirit.
They quickly interweaved on the clear stage and very quickly, there was one more on the table in front of each Weapon Refiner disciple. Tang Huan was the same as the other cultivators around, he grabbed them and weighed them. Although they were only the size of an infant's fist, they were very heavy, probably weighing around ten thousand kilograms.
"This seems to be the 'Diamond Immortal Stone'?"
After pondering for a moment, Tang Huan figured out the origins of this ball.
The Diamond Immortal Stone was neither a Dao Stone nor an Iron Crystal, it could not be used to forge weapons. Its texture was extremely hard, even a high-grade Dao Artifact could not hurt it, however, if it was burned by the firepower, it could very easily be turned into smithereens.
"Ahhh, it's actually a 'Diamond Immortal Stone'!"
"This thing can't endure the fire. I wonder how we can use it to test our Tools Method Attainments?"
"Diamond Immortal Stone …. I'm afraid we'll fail this time! "
"..."
The Diamond Immortal Stone was not a rare item, most of the cultivators could recognize it at a glance.
"As you can see."
After the hundreds of servants left, the middle-aged man in front of the hall shouted once again, "Just now, what is placed in front of you is a very common 'Diamond Immortal Stone'. Following that, everyone, you only need to use your firepower to drill a hole through this' Diamond Immortal Stone '."
"Using firepower to bore holes in the immortal stones?"
"Boring? "It's over, it's all over. This time we'll definitely be finished."
"This test is extremely difficult."
"..."
There was an uproar on the arena as wails and wails rang out in all directions. Many of the Weapon Refiner disciples had their heads hanging down, and their faces had a look as if they had lost their parents.
"Do you want to drill holes in the firepower?"
Tang Huan looked at the immortal stone in his hand and couldn't help but laugh.
"This method of test is indeed unique and original." Diamond Immortal Stones weren't resistant to firepower. Thus, when drilling holes, it had extremely high requirements to control the firepower.
It was impossible to have too much firepower, and it was also impossible to have too little firepower.
This was because the "Diamond Immortal Stone" was incomparably strong. If the firepower was too weak, it wouldn't be able to shake it in the slightest. Wanting to drill holes into the stone would be akin to a fantasy story.
No wonder this election was only a test.
At the end of this round, the majority of the Weapon Refiner disciples would probably be eliminated, with very few remaining.
"The time limit for this trial is two hours." As if the middle-aged man didn't hear the sighs of the crowd, he said with a smile, "Heavenly Blacksmith of the Saint level, successful left two holes on the immortal rock, and is extremely likely to pass the general election. Heaven Ranked Heavenly Blacksmith, you only need a hole and you can be considered to have passed. "
"This time's Heavenly Imperial City Battle has no limit to the number of people. As long as you pass, you will be able to enter the 'Artifact Spirit Heavenly Fault'."
As the middle-aged man's voice faded, the arena was finally filled with more laughter.
Many Weapon Refiner who were confident that they could pass the trial were secretly relieved at the number of people who could make it through the endless selection. If it was in the past, if there were a hundred people who passed, then most likely there would only be a few dozen, but this time, if there were a hundred people who passed, then all hundred would be able to enter Tian Que, and there was no need to worry about failing the selection.
"Everyone, get ready."
The middle-aged man's voice rang out once again. The thousands of Weapon Refiner disciples, regardless of what they were thinking, immediately gathered their thoughts and cleared their minds.
"Begin!"
In the blink of an eye, the middle-aged man waved his hand.
With his order, the huge hourglass that he had brought out from palace immediately flipped over, and the sand in the funnel slowly fell down, creating endless rustling sounds. On the bright and clear stage, all the disciples of the Weapon Refiner immediately calmed their minds and focused their attention on the immortal stones.
Tang Huan calmed his heart and concentrated, combining the "Diamond Immortal Stone" between his palms, he began to carefully probe the surroundings.
