Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch 58's. Holy Altar
However, the most important of all was that Hong Bei would grant one request to the chosen one!
If he was chosen by the Holy Altar, with that one promised request he could smoothly enter the Cave of Life.
Therefore, Zhang En planned, first of all tomorrow he would go to that place and see the Sacred Altar that was in the Cave of Life.
•••
Next day.
Zhang En stepped out of the inn, and exited the center of the city gate towards the north of the South Star Kingdom City where the Cave of Life was located which the Holy Altar was visible to.
According to the waiter of the restaurant, the Holy Altar was seen right above the square in front of the entrance of the Cave of Life. It is rumored that the Holy Altar waits for the destined person whenever he appears and only disappears after being chosen.
Currently, the Sacred Altar had been floating in front of the Cave of Life for one month. Due to the close distance between the city center towards the Cave of Life, Zhang En did not require a long trip to arrive at that place.
The vast field in front of the Cave of Life is named after the Square of a Thousand Fortune. Ten thousand Buddha statues are seen around him.
By the time Zhang En arrived at the location where the Cave of Life was located, the place was already filled with crowds and jostling. Following the flow of the crowd, Zhang En slowly moved closer and finally stopped right in front of the entrance of the Life Cave.
From this angle, Zhang En could clearly see, right above the entrance of the Cave of Life, a square-shaped gold medal floating in midair. The gold medal was quite large, carved in a pattern with scenes depicting the Buddha on many surfaces and some distinctive patterns of the Buddhist scriptures.
In the air, the gold medal pulsed with an extremely bright halo, scattering the pure energy of Buddhism surrounding it.
Suddenly a shadow accompanied by a wave pierced through the crowd just then.
"Look, it's Jiang Wu from the Jiang Family!"
Zhang En's gaze followed the direction of the crowd's gaze and saw a blue-robed young man heading straight for the gold medal.
“Jiang Wu, the most talented genius of the Jiang Family in a thousand years, is also one of the outstanding geniuses of our Southern Star Kingdom, he said, what else his high martial talent and cultivation level were already at the Early” Sacred Swordsman stage an enthusiastic discussion rang out among the crowd. "With Jiang Wu's talent, it was very likely that he would be chosen by the Sacred Altar!"
In general, the higher one's martial spirit level was, the higher one's talent was, and the higher one's chances of being chosen by the Sacred Altar.
In the past, every time the Holy Altar appeared, those who were destined were always geniuses with outstanding martial talent. While the crowd was excited with various comments and arguments respectively, Jiang Wu arrived at the Holy Altar.
When Jiang Wu stood under the Holy Altar, a radiant battle qi light shot out from his body, and as he did so, the Sacred Altar seemed to resonate, releasing a glittering light of its own accord.
“See, there was a reaction from the Holy Altar!”
“It looks like Jiang Wu is the one chosen by the Holy Altar!” The commotion swept through the crowd, cries of joy soaring like waves.
When the Holy Altar appeared, one had to stand beneath it and release their battle qi. If they could trigger the resonance of the Holy Altar in a beam of light on the Gold Medal above, the engraved Buddha carving on the Medal would shine brightly and without a doubt, that person was the destined one.
The brilliant light shining from the Holy altar continued to soar higher as Zhang En and the crowd all looked at it, even letting out a very clear humming sound.
Seeing such a reaction from the Sacred Altar, even Jiang Wu was affected by it and felt an increased excitement in his heart.
From past records, those who could trigger such a reaction and the humming sound of the Holy Altar were most likely the destined ones chosen! Being chosen meant that one would be purified by the power of Buddhism, he, Jiang Wu, who had been trapped in the Early Divine Stage Swordsman could actually break through to the intermediate Holy Stage swordsman realm.
At that time, his status and position within the clan would be different.
Just when Jiang Wu was immersed in his bubbling existence, the battle Qi rays that originally rose from the Holy Altar suddenly stopped. The rising radiance dimmed and receded, gradually disappearing along with a clear hum. The Sacred Altar returned to its previous calm state.
Jiang Wu was surprised.
So did everyone who was watching in the crowd for three whole seconds, before someone hissed in surprise.
Many shook their heads in pity, but many more laughed happily in their hearts.
Jiang Wu remained still standing under the Sacred Altar and his face looked slightly ugly, the excitement and ecstasy he felt earlier vanished without a trace, replaced with reluctance and annoyance.
“Jiang Wu, since you are not chosen by the Holy Altar immediately move aside from there, do not block that place!” at this moment, a loud arrogant voice sounded in the square.
"That's the genius of the Luo Family, Luo Yuan!"
“The Jiang and Luo families are mortal enemies like fire and ice, moreover, Luo Yuan and Jiang Wu have a grudge between them. This time, Jiang Wu was not chosen, he must have been very happy!" said one of the crowd around the altar.
The crowd then gave way for Luo Yuan to pass through. Luo Yuan bragged from the start, exuding an atmosphere that made his heart flutter then he stopped ten meters in front of Jiang Wu.
Jiang Wu's face was extremely tangled as he looked the other way, "I wasn't chosen by the Sacred Altar, do you think the highest grade martial spirit will be chosen?"
Zhang En frowned upon hearing Jiang Wu's words. "Roh Beladiri? Why did I just hear something like that?"
In the Cultivator world, there are people who have martial spirits and some who do not. Ranging from low martial spirit level to high level.
"Ah. It's not important for now, I'd better focus on trying to stand under that Sacred Altar."
A sharp glint flashed across Luo Yuan's eyes, replying with a cold sneer, "Just because you can't do it, doesn't mean I can't."
Jiang Wu snorted yet he no longer spoke, he then left from the place under the Sacred Altar. He picked a spot on the side and waited to watch Luo Yuan's test.
