From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 359: The aptitude for cultivation is innate

The voice was very faint, and Wang Shuhuan opened his eyes again, his face calm.

The girl with the high ponytail was stunned for a moment, then smiled brightly.

"You passed!"

The world began to break apart.

When Wang Shuhuan opened his eyes again, he was surrounded by mist again. The girl with a high ponytail and all the illusions seemed to be just a dream.

With a wry smile, Wang Shuhuan slowly straightened his chest and began to move in one direction.

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Shuhuan's eyes lit up. The fog that had obscured his vision completely dissipated, revealing only the examinees gathered in groups of three or four.

These are the candidates who have passed the simplified version of the maze.

"Wang Shuhuan, you finally came out!"

A surprised female voice suddenly sounded, and Chen Li, one of the examinees, jumped towards him.
"Why are you so late? I was worried about you... But congratulations, we finally made it through together!"

Chen Li looked at Wang Shuhuan happily, with a smile on her face, and stretched out her hand.

"Ah."

"Handshake to celebrate!"

"Oh"

Wang Shuhuan responded, then politely shook Chen Li's fair little hand, and then separated in an instant.
"How come you're so fast? Aren't you emotionally aroused and seeing hallucinations?"

Chen Li nodded: "I saw it."

Wang Shuhuan suddenly became curious: "You saw it? Then how did you get out?"

"Hehehe, I won't tell you~"

The two did not chat for too long, as Yubao and Zhao Ziyao had already begun notifying the candidates who had passed the first level to gather at Jianzhen Square on the mountainside.

Wang Shuhuan nodded politely and did not ask further.

Chen Li followed closely behind, looking at Wang Shuhuan's back, her bright face gradually dimmed.
"Because I know that's impossible..."

The sound was very faint and gradually faded away with the misty clouds, and no one could hear it.
-
Wang Shuhuan was indeed not among the first to come out. About twenty minutes later, the first batch of candidates finished the trial.

When the time was up, the candidates who were still trapped in the clouds were thrown out of the formation by Li Yang and Chi Yanhong.

At this moment, a breeze suddenly blew, and everyone looked back, only to see the clouds and mist suddenly open up, and a figure flew out like a bird.

The solemn and beautiful beast is the guardian beast of the mountain that has won the title of Xiantian floor tile for many times.

Zhao Ziyao glanced at the examinees on Jianzhen Square and announced coldly: "The first batch of examinees' character tests have been conducted. Twenty thousand people have entered the formation, and eight thousand four hundred and twelve have passed. Congratulations to all the examinees for passing the first stage of the Baiyun Trial!"

Everyone below was stunned, and then they were filled with indescribable relief and joy.
It's just the first level, but the elimination rate is already close to 60%. It's worthy of being the number one Taoist temple in China.

Zhao Ziyao obviously enjoyed this state of being the center of attention. Seeing that the true nature of the divine beast was about to be exposed, a certain being in the clouds snorted coldly. Zhao Ziyao then pouted and continued to read:
"Now we begin the second round of verification. Candidates on the field will form teams on their own. Two hundred people in each row, forty-three rows in total. The last row will have twelve people... Act now!"

As a result, more than 8,000 candidates immediately became busy and stood up in rows, crowded tightly in the venue.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Ziyao shouted, "First row, line up and move forward!"

Hurala!
Wow, he walked forward for a long time in an instant and came to the front of the team.

"Stand still!"

"Stand still!"

"..."

The two hundred people in Qianlide really didn't dare to move. They huddled together stupidly, not knowing how to proceed.

"The second stage is the aptitude test. Cultivating immortals is not an easy task. If you only have the heart but no aptitude, even if you practice very hard, you will end up just trying to catch the moon in a well."

Buzz! A cold female voice came from the clouds ahead.

Everyone was shocked, with light flashing in their eyes.

Amidst the continuous high pressure and tension, a female fairy suddenly appeared, and I was instantly filled with endless fantasies.

Zhao Ziyao doesn't count.

Suddenly, whispers were heard from all directions and were growing in size.

Just as everyone was whispering, they heard a clear and sonorous sound coming from the clouds and mist. It came closer in an instant and then suddenly became louder.

boom!
Even the dazzling sunlight dimmed for a few seconds, and the sky above the square changed color. As if falling straight from the sky, a red sword light shot up into the sky, carrying a great momentum, and directly blasted into the field.

boom! boom! boom!
Jianzhen Square was specially built for enrollment. It was made of extremely hard marble, which was like tender tofu. The moment it came into contact with the sword light, the stone cores burst.

Instead of breaking into pieces of stone, it turned directly into powder all over the sky.

In an area more than ten meters wide in front of the square, the marble was cracked inch by inch, and stone powder was flying all over the sky.

The candidates standing nearby were affected by the shockwave and fell down in unison with loud screams, like wheat being cut.

Looking at that place again, it suddenly became a huge hole.

"..."

The whole place was dead silent!

Especially those who were whispering, their expressions were frozen on their faces and before they could change, they were filled with fear.

They even forgot to cheer.

The dust in the sky finally slowly dissipated, and then a figure appeared with an indifferent expression.

"Ah..." The candidates in the square couldn't help but scream out in surprise. Most of them saw Master Chi for the first time.

The images of Master Chi and Master Li have been deified and admired by everyone for too long.

They have always been looking forward to it, always fantasizing...until today, they finally saw him in person.

The more than 8,000 candidates quickly formed their formation, feeling terrified.

"The second stage is the qualification verification. Listen to my orders and those who are called out step out."

Chi Yanhong's eyes were cold. He put away the Zhaoluan Sword and slowly walked to the front of the first row of candidates.

"Exit!"

"Ah? Oh!"

"Exit!"

"Exit!"

"Next row!"

The candidates in the first row were still confused, but a huge pressure had already pushed them back, leaving only the three who had stepped out of the line.

Zhao Ziyao faced the team and said in a cold voice: "Three people have passed the test, the rest of you will remain silent for a moment and wait to go down the mountain!"

Buzz!
Crazy, the whole audience is crazy! What kind of elimination rate is this? Two hundred brothers, and only three are left in the end?
There were also a few who seemed to have some background, whose spirits had been nourished by spiritual objects such as spiritual rice, and they wanted to protest loudly.

Chi Yanhong just glanced at them coldly, and everyone at the scene suddenly fell silent:

"You have enjoyed the blessings of your ancestors. Although your spirit is stronger than other candidates, your aptitude for cultivation is innate. It cannot be changed by some simple spiritual objects."

Seeing the noise rising again, Zhao Ziyao decisively shouted: "Silence! Silence! Next row!"

There were still some who wanted to make a noise, but when they saw Master Chi start to summon the scarlet sword again, they immediately became silent.

"..."

The unsuccessful candidates dispersed quickly with their lips pursed. Some wanted to go down the mountain out of spite, while others still held out hope and went around to the back to take a look.

…………

When Wang Shuhuan heard Master Chi say, "The aptitude for practicing Taoism is innate," his face turned pale instantly.

Fortunately, Chi Yanhong just glanced at him and let him out.

Shocked by such great happiness, Wang Shuhuan almost became incoherent.

I can only say that Wang Shuhuan still underestimates himself.
As for the aptitude for practicing Taoism, even though everyone in novels has some of it, after thousands of years of the extinction of spiritual energy, or perhaps the situation was better during the heyday of spiritual energy thousands of years ago, ordinary people have reproduced from generation to generation, and the aptitude for practicing Taoism in the mortal world has long been diluted.

Li Yang and Chi Yanhong had decided earlier that anyone with some qualifications would be accepted.

If Wang Shuhuan's aptitude before was 5, then after the Five Descents, it was 1.6.
But looking at the whole place, the passing score of 1 was rare, all were 0, just like when he became the governor of Shuchuan.

Totally cold!

Holy shit, Li Yang and Chi Yanhong were both shocked. Wang Shuhuan had fallen to such a state, but he was still considered a genius!
Of the first batch of 20,000 people, 12,000 were eliminated first, and after the second round of qualification verification, only less than 100 people were left.
