Chapter 1549: Is He the Divine Son?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Divine Text? Ancient Divine Text?”

“How is that possible?”

“This kind of situation has never happened before with the Tao Test Stone!”

“So far, whatever Divine Text has been found within the various historical remains in the Heaven Continent has been very limited. The Divine Text on this Tao Test Stone could contain very important information.”

An uproar broke out pretty much across the board...

All the cultivators who were there attending the recruitment congregation were completely shocked by the old man’s words. Even the people who had been in other areas of the assessments had been drawn into this area by the general hubbub.

Several of the Heaven Palace Sect disciples had dashed out of the crowd and hurried to the depths of the Heaven Palace Sect to inform the Dean.

“Amazing! I never knew that there was hidden Divine Text in the Tao Test Stone. Young man, don’t move your hand yet. Wait until the Dean arrives to have a look at the situation.” While the old man couldn’t take his eyes off the text on the Tao Test Stone, he spoke to Xu Que. He was super-excited.

“Hasn’t this situation ever happened before in the past?” Xu Que frowned.

“No, it’s unprecedented.” The old man had repeated this phrase countless times already.

Xu Que couldn’t help but sigh when he heard this. Alas, it can’t be helped. I’ve always been too special, too outstanding, always different from other people.

“Hey, sh*t. Does this mean I won’t be able to find out my Tao Aura’s ranking?” Xu Que asked in astonishment as he suddenly remembered the reason for the test of his Tao Aura.

“No harm done, ha, ha, ha, young cultivator. Rest assured, since ancient times up until today, you’re the first person to invoke the Divine Text from the Tao Test Stone. From a certain point of view, your Tao Aura and the Tao Test Stone seem to have been aligned, so you don’t need to test the ranking of your Tao Aura. The result is self-evident.” The old man smiled.

“Then I can be admitted to the Heaven Palace Sect?” Xu Que asked.

As long as he could be admitted to the Heaven Palace Sect, he would have a chance to get close to Xuanyuan Wanrong and figure out her past. He would also get to know the past of the Heaven Palace Sect. At the same time, it would also not hinder his own aim of Acting Tough.

Looking at the slowly rising Acting Tough Points in the System interface, Xu Que’s lips curled into a smile. Once he’d accumulated enough Acting Tough Points, he could get out of this world of memory.

“You’ll be admitted, of course you’ll be admitted,” the old man said with a smile. Meanwhile, he was silently exclaiming to himself that this was a man who had been able to invoke the Divine Text from the Tao Test Stone. How powerful his Tao Aura endowment must be...

The most important point was that this young man’s bone age was not more than 100 years old. Perhaps not only could he be admitted to the first-class compound, but also the Dean might even take an interest in him and he could be elected as the Dean’s direct disciple. Ah, his future would be extraordinary.

“Well, then that’s good. Oh, my hand is a little sore. Can I take it down now?” Xu Que asked.

The old man became immediately startled and said, “No, you mustn’t. You must hold on for a little while longer and wait for the Dean.”

There’d been absolutely no reaction during the young man’s first test. The Ancient Divine Text had only appeared the second time he’d touched the stone. The old man was afraid that if he took his hand off the stone, the Ancient Divine Text would disappear.

“If you’re afraid it’ll vanish, why don’t you copy it down and be done with it?” Xu Que rolled his eyes at the obviousness of the situation.

The old man smacked his forehead and said, “What was I thinking? Of course, you’re right. To be on the safe side, I’d better copy it down right away.”

With that, he waved his hand, grabbed the jade slip that shot out of his sleeve, and looked at the Divine Text on the Tao Test Stone. He meticulously concentrated on copying down the text. Each stroke was carefully checked and rechecked to make certain that he’d copied it exactly as it had appeared.

SWISH!

However, when he had copied only about half, there was the sound of a blast that burst through the air behind him. Several figures rushed over, and at the head of them was a white-haired old man.

“Greetings to the Dean!”

In the Taoist Sanctum, many Elders and disciples immediately faced the people who had just arrived and respectfully shouted their greetings.

These figures landed on the ground, and the white-haired old man immediately locked his eyes on the Divine Text on the Tao Test Stone. Next to him were a few other dignified old people. The moment their eyes rested on the Tao Test Stone, their faces became very excited.

“Divine Text, Ancient Divine Text!”

“Quickly look! This text seems familiar. It must’ve appeared in certain ancient books of records or historical documents before.”

“That’s right. I can also sense a feeling of familiarity in one of the words in the Divine Text.”

Several people spoke in whispers, nodding from time to time.

A moment later, the white-haired old man looked at Xu Que and said, “Are you the one who invoked this Divine Text? What’s your name?”

“Slayer Lord.” Xu Que answered coolly.

“Slayer Lord? The name Slayer...” The white-haired old man stared blankly for a moment and then fell into deep thought. But he seemed unable to find any memory of the family name Slayer.

Without delay, the old man continued, “Your Tao Aura seems to resonate with the God’s Strength in the Tao Test Stone, so the Ancient Divine Text has appeared. It may be momentous news for all the Heaven Continent cultivators.”

All the people present who heard his words were immensely shocked.

The weight of information provided by the Dean’s words was immense. “A line of Ancient Divine Text could have such an impact on the Heaven Continent? Could the text of the Deities hold such power?”

“Moreover, there was this Slayer Lord. He was so young and yet he possessed such a gift to resonate with the God’s Strength. Could he possibly be the Divine Son of the legends? Could he be connected to God?”

Xu Que felt the eyes of all of the people on him. He then took a look at his Acting Tough Points on the rise. He was extremely happy. Sure enough, I, the Act-Tough Saint, am too outstanding.

“Dean, the Ancient Divine Text has been recorded.” At this point, the old man in charge of the assessment handed over the jade slip.

The white-haired old man took it and checked it against the Divine Text on the Tao Test Stone. After he’d found no mistakes, he nodded and said, “Very good, Slayer Lord, you can take your hand down.”

Xu Que took his hand down when he’d heard the old man. Then, all of a sudden, he felt that his nostrils were a little itchy, so he reached his hand up to pick his nose, ignoring his image.

The crowd looked disgusted when they saw what he was doing.

This guy looks so refined in manners, but then he actually picks his nose in public. Isn’t this a disgusting trait for the Divine Son to have?

“Slayer Lord, please try it again!” The white-haired old man called to Xu Que.

Xu Que was interested and put his two hands on the Tao Test Stone again.

WHOOSH!

This time, the Tao Test Stone lit up with a radiance again. There was actually a line of text again, which was different from the previous text, and the line was obviously longer. The text had increased, and the glow had also gotten significantly brighter.

“Quick, record it!” The white-haired old man said excitedly.

The old man in charge of the assessment was also surprised and quickly began to record the Divine Text.

He finished taking it down after much difficulty, and Xu Que took his hand away. Then he pressed his hands down on the stone again.

The Divine Text lit up again on the Tao Test Stone. The text was then recorded again accordingly.

They went back and forth in this way. This was repeated more than a dozen times, until eventually no matter how many times Xu Que pressed his hands, the Divine Text no longer appeared on the Tao Test Stone. Then the Dean nodded his head, fully satisfied.

Several old people around him also seemed satisfied.

This seemed to be all the Divine Text that was going to be revealed. As long as it could be deciphered, perhaps they could derive some very important information from it. Maybe they could even obtain some records related to the Divine Realm.

“Well, young cultivator, you will report to the first-class compound. Later, you will come to the Dean’s room to find me.” The Dean looked at Xu Que and said with a smile.

He held Xu Que in high regard and thought he was a very promising young man. If the translation of the Divine Text produced some gains, he would consider allowing Xu Que to enter his sect and become his direct disciple.

After all, he was the first person to have had his Tao Aura resonate with God’s Strength up to now.
