The Great Sage of Humanity
Chapter 11, Introduction to the Sect

...Upon seeing that, Lu Ye immediately understood that there were two parts to be tested. The first part was to find out if one had the talent to cultivate. The second part is to ascertain how talented a person is....

Talent and talent are two different things. The first one determines whether one has the right to cultivate or not. The latter is an important factor in one's future achievements. Theoretically, a highly talented person would reach a higher level in the future.

Of course due to its limitations, the aptitude test was just a general test, and its accuracy could not be guaranteed. But the margin of error is quite small.

Lu Ye was not worried about his talent at all. Since he had been enlightened, there was no doubt that he could cultivate. Nevertheless, it was hard to tell how talented he was, and he himself was unsure about it. Therefore, he could only find out the results after going through the test behind the tent.

When the first person who had the talent to cultivate appeared, the group of listless people became a little excited. Right then, they thought they might be able to cut it. But the truth is cruel. More than ten people had been eliminated in the examination before the next person who had talent appeared again. Then the same scene continued.

The long queue slowly shortened as the hopes of the slaves turned into despair. Generally, there would be one person with cultivating talent for every dozen people. The ratio was quite close to Lu Ye's estimation.

He was in the second half of the line. However, since his test could be done quickly, he reached the table in just an hour.

"Are you enlightened?" The cultivator behind the table asked the question he had asked many times before.

"I have unlocked one Spiritual Point," Lu Ye replied honestly.

After hearing that, the cultivator immediately raised his head and examined it before he smiled. "That's great. Finally, there is someone who has been enlightened.”

Although seven to eight people had passed the aptitude test, they had yet to gain enlightenment. Among this group of people, Lu Ye was the first to be enlightened.

"Come on. Put your hands on it.” The cultivator pointed towards the Crystal Ball on the table.

Lu Ye was confused when he thought that it was to test one's talent. Since he had been enlightened, why would it still be necessary to undergo the examination?

Seeing the doubt in Lu Ye's heart, the cultivator explained, “I'm not only responsible for testing all of you're talents, but I also have to ascertain your attributes.”

"Our attributes?" Lu Ye was confused because he had never heard of it before.

Perhaps because Lu Ye had been enlightened, the cultivator decided to patiently explain it to him. “Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth are the five elements. Everyone's Spiritual Strength is skewed towards one of them, and this is what we call an attribute. Each attribute has a different emphasis.”

"So so!" Lu Ye finally understood what the Crystal Ball was for. Then, he asked doubtfully, “How about those people..”.

The cultivator replied with a smile, “They are not even enlightened, so they do not have Inner Strength, which is why it is impossible to check their properties.”

"So that's it." After hearing his explanation, Lu Ye raised his hand and placed it on top of the Crystal Ball.

“Enable your Spiritual Strength and put it into the ball,” said the cultivator.

Lu Ye did as he was told, then he stared fixedly at the Crystal Ball transformation. He wondered what kind of attribute he was.

The Crystal Ball began to shine, which showed that he had a talent for cultivating. However, since he had been enlightened, the result was meaningless to him. The following changes are the result of its attributes.

"Oh?" The cultivator behind the table raised his eyebrows as his interest was shaken. “Your main attribute is Fire and your supporting attribute is Gold. That's not too bad. Alright. Pull back your hand now.”

Lu Ye was able to understand that his main attribute was Fire. After all, thanks to the Skill Tree he was enlightened. At that moment, the tree that swallowed the orange flame was what made it suddenly enlightened. The leaves of the tree with the Spiritual Pattern, the Sharp End, also burned.

However, he did not understand why his supporting attribute was Gold because he felt that this was his original attribute.

“Save and go to the tent in the back to find My Third Sister.” The cultivator gave Lu Ye a jade tablet. Lu Ye thanked him and took it. Then, he saw that his name and the symbol meaning that he had opened one Spiritual Point had been engraved on one side, while the other side was engraved with his attributes.

Passing the table, he continued walking forward.

There is a temporary tent at a nearby place. Everyone who has passed the aptitude test should follow it to check their talent.

Before entering the tent, Lu Ye apologized to the person inside before he opened the curtain and stepped into it.

Inside the tent was wide. There was a cultivator with a serious and cold expression who was sitting on a futon by crossing his legs. With her eyes closed, she seemed to be resting. It seems like he is Third Brother.

Somewhere near Third Senior Brother, there was a disc made of a kind of wood. The disk was as big as a table and there were eight holes around the edges. Some young trees even grow in these holes.

Lu Ye walked towards him and cupped his fists. "It's nice to meet you. My name is Lu Ye. Please check my jade tablet, Senior Brother. ”

Third Brother opened his eyes and took out a jade tablet. After looking at both sides, he curled his brows. “You have been enlightened?” Then, he made a gesture with his hand. "Please sit down."

It seemed that the disc was used to ascertain one's talent. Lu Ye stepped onto the table and sat in the middle with crossed legs. Accidentally, he saw many complicated patterns engraved on it.

[Is it a Spiritual Pattern?] Lu Ye's interest was piqued as he studied the pattern. However, he did not have enough knowledge to know what these patterns were for. The only Spiritual Pattern he knew was Sharp Edge.

The patterns engraved on the discs were complex and dense. They are so well connected that they look like one body.

[It's not just a Spiritual Pattern!] Lu Ye finally understood what it was as he recalled something he had heard before. [It's called an array! Does the arrangement consist of a Spiritual Pattern?]

"Ehem!" Coughing Third Senior Brother made Lu Ye return to reality as he quickly straightened up.

As they stared at each other, the place became quiet. Suddenly, Third Brother said, “The Green Jade Sect is located in the Heavenly Tree Mountain, which is a strategic location in Bing Zhou. We have 300 Spirit Peaks of different heights. We are one of the top five Sects in Bing Zhou in terms of comprehensive strength. Our Sect Masters and Vice Sect Masters are all in the Divine Sea Realm. Under the Sect Master, there were about 100 Real Lake Realm Masters.”.

Initially, Lu Ye thought Third Brother was a quiet man, but at this moment, he realized that he was wrong.

Third Senior Brother was unceasingly talking about the Green Jade Sect, which made Lu Ye feel lost. For some reason, as he listened to Third Brother's narrative, he felt a strong sense of deja vu.

When Third Brother spoke of his sword technique and sect cultivation technique, the memories Lu Ye had forgotten seemed to reappear in his mind.

The corner of Lu Ye's mouth twitched as he wondered if this was the introduction of the Sect before a disciple was recruited in the cultivation world.
