Chapter 567 - 169: Dark Horse
The Continent Exam is like a chaotic stew.
It seems like several rounds, but in reality, it throws everyone together, forcing them to break through layers of checkpoints and charge towards the finish line.
Only those who reach the finish line have a chance to become Star Gate disciples.
To prevent cheating.
The exam has strict assessment criteria.
Upon entering the examination site, one cannot bring any medicine, medicinal liquid, related talismans, or all hot weapons.
The examination site is located within a castle called Tisa in the Divine Bull Country.
The spectators allowed at the site are no exception, consisting of representatives from various countries, dignitaries from the Divine Bull Country, and several high-status individuals who have traveled great distances across multiple countries, having finally obtained tickets for entry.
The Continent Exam is an intermediate competition established by the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance.
It concerns the resource allocations related to various countries from the hands of the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance.
No one dares to be careless.
Meanwhile, the assessment criteria are exceedingly harsh.
It’s conducted comprehensively in just one day, determining the champion and runner-up.
And today, the Star Gate announced the admission quota for this year and the related requirements.
Five servant disciples.
Three outer disciples.
One talisman master disciple.
Servant disciples need to meet four conditions.
Possess top grade spiritual roots.
Successfully find origin power.
Cultivation reaching the Divine Realm level.
Rank within the top eight in the Continent Exam.
Outer disciples requirements.
Spirit root level at least super grade.
Successfully acquire origin power.
Rank within the top three in the continent exam.
Talisman master disciple requirements.
Must be a Divine Thought Master and rank within the top ten in the continent exam.
Once the content was announced, it immediately caused an uproar.
Many already knew that this year the Star Gate’s admission quota is less than previous years, and the difficulty level is higher.
They just didn’t expect that to become a servant disciple one must not only possess top-grade spiritual roots but also find origin power and rank within the top eight.
Outer disciples are even more surprising, requiring at least super grade spiritual roots, achieving origin power, and ranking within the top three.
It should be noted that finding origin power and acquiring origin power are two different concepts.
Previously, Zhang Lingfeng guided by Lu Jin’s origin power found the water source power, but when he acquired the water source power, his cultivation had already stepped into the Divine Realm.
Therefore, becoming an outer disciple does not need further mentioning of possessing Divine Realm power, because those who can acquire origin power have dantian and sea of qi already transformed into a dao field, able to store and absorb origin power.
Most shocking of all.
Is that Star Gate will recruit talisman master disciples this year.
But the requirement is at least being a Divine Thought Master and ranking within the top ten.
To become a Divine Thought Master, the sea of consciousness value must reach 80.0 and mental telekinesis must condense into divine thought.
Under twenty-year-old Divine Thought Masters are legendary wherever they go in the Eastern Continent.
But such characters still need to rank within the top ten to become talisman master disciples, showing how difficult it is to become a Star Gate disciple.
However, many people also saw different information at face value.
Talisman master disciple.
This indicates apprenticeship under the Star Gate talisman master.
Becoming a Star Gate servant disciple, if one cannot smoothly become an outer disciple in later days, can only stay in Star Gate for half a year.
Becoming a Star Gate outer disciple, if one cannot smoothly become an inner sect disciple in later days, can only stay in Star Gate for three years.
However, becoming a talisman master disciple seems to have no time limit, as long as the talisman master is satisfied, one can stay in Star Gate indefinitely, even becoming a strong talisman master in the future.
It should be known that constructing the South Heaven Gate Array requires help from Star Gate talisman masters, and the work of drawing Divine Light Talismans comes from the talisman master’s hands.
The status of talisman masters is self-evident.
It is said there is also a talisman master in the Qin Family.
That talisman master once served a Star Gate talisman master, even only for two or three years, he holds the highest status in the Qin Family, even Qin Cangqiong must be cautious, although Qin Qianyu seldom met him.
This shows how high the status of talisman masters is.
Especially those from Star Gate, not to mention becoming their disciple, even just becoming their servant, there are countless people vying, breaking their heads, wanting to serve them.
Therefore, the four words "talisman master disciple" are exceptionally dazzling, many people whisper.
Even Divine Sect Sect Leader Jiang Nan cast a fiery gaze.
The three professions that can wield influence in the Basic Star Realm are all related to sea of consciousness power, namely talisman master, artifact refiner, and alchemist.
Talisman masters craft talismans, requiring them to inject cosmic rules into talisman paper via divine thought and seal with magic spell, eventually forming powerful talismans, divine thought plays a crucial role, failing to become Divine Thought Master deems one unqualified as a talisman master.
Artifact refiners refine magical artifacts, similarly requires divine thought to, from flames, refine the best artifact materials, then via divine thought combine artifact refining technique, fuse different materials together making ordinary iron into divine weapons.
Alchemists create elixir pills, further need divine thought to make several even dozens of precious herb ingredients undergo continuous transformation in alchemy furnace, flames, even palm, turning ordinary herbs into priceless Divine Elixirs.
Only in the Basic Star Realm.
Do people think the biggest role of sea of consciousness is to become Mental Telekinesis Masters or Divine Thought Masters.
Yet in Star Gate strong personas’ eyes.
The sea of consciousness can touch cosmic rules.
