Chapter 613 Palace of Saints
This is a lush green forest, where a quiet and peaceful atmosphere pervades. Occasionally, birdsong can be heard. If it weren't for a ray of light that makes one feel that something is amiss, one might really think this is the hermitage of some sage.
After a long time, a ripple suddenly appeared next to a tree, and as the air twisted, a circular magic circle appeared there.
Immediately afterwards, two figures appeared and disappeared, until they finally appeared completely in this place.
A boy with a still somewhat childish face looked up and around, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. After pausing for a moment, as if he had completely become familiar with the place, he turned his head and asked, "Is this the Mountain of All Saints?"
"No, this is not it. This is just a passageway leading to Mount Saints."
Lin Ru smiled and said.
Ye Ru looked around at the scene, and before he could speak again, Lin Ru waved his hand and said:
"Come, I'll take you there."
With a swift movement, the two swept through layers of trees and stopped inside a small hut.
"Master Kong, we've arrived."
Lin Ru bowed towards the small house by the door and said.
As the words fell, the small house slowly opened, and an old man walked out.
The old man was thin, but his eyes held a wise look that seemed to have seen through the ways of the world.
Surprisingly, Ye Ru couldn't sense any talent within him.
"Oh, it's Lin Ru. So, you've taken this little guy in."
The old man named Kong Lao stroked his beard and smiled.
"Student Ye Ru greets Mr. Kong."
Ye Ru was no fool. The person in front of him was no ordinary person, and Lin Ru treated him with such respect. So he clasped his hands in greeting.
"Hehe, you're the little guy that even the Three Mountains came to snatch, right? You even have half dragon blood, that's impressive."
“You’re not an outsider, so there’s no need to be so formal. Just call me Master Kong, like Lin Ru does.”
Master Kong shook his head and said.
"Yes."
Ye Ru nodded, a sense of shock rising within him. The other party had never fought him, yet they could discern his half-dragon bloodline; this showed they were no ordinary person.
"Master Kong, please open the road to Mount Zhong Sheng so that we may pass through."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Lin Ru got straight to the point.
"You're still as impulsive as ever."
Master Kong shook his head, which made Lin Ru smile wryly: "Master Kong, please don't make fun of me. As you know, I have a mission to complete. If I don't go back and explain today, the master might beat me to death."
"I know. I will open the passage to Mount Zhongsheng for you right away. Be careful on your journey. The demon and monster races have already begun their attack."
Upon hearing Lin Ru's words, Elder Kong's expression also became somewhat solemn, and then he spoke in a deep voice.
"Ah."
Lin Ru nodded, and then Elder Kong's expression became even more serious. He waved his hand, and a circular magic array appeared under the small wooden house. A powerful spatial force suddenly spread out in all directions.
Immediately afterwards, the circular magic circle suddenly released a dazzling light, which spread and enveloped Ye Ru and the other person with great power.
"go with!"
With a furious shout, Elder Kong carried Ye Ru and Lin Ru away in a beam of light, transforming them into two streaks of light that vanished from the spot.
Ye Ru, who was carried away by the spatial power, felt a dizzying sensation. When he opened his eyes again, the original forest was gone, replaced by an endless mountain range.
Above the mountains, a colossal city rises high, and from a distance, countless tiny, ant-like things appear to be constantly moving.
"This is our Palace of All Saints. Although it is much smaller than the Confucian and Taoist Continent, the people here are all pillars of the nation if they go out. Moreover, your talent here is probably just insignificant. I'm not trying to discourage you, but the scholars here, whether they are composing poems, studying poetry, books, or rites, are all much better than you."
Seeing Ye Ru's surprised expression, Lin Ru couldn't help but boast.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru smiled, then clenched his fist even tighter.
Although these people are quite powerful, he is not someone who can be easily manipulated.
"I hope you can be motivated. After all, living here is not easy, but it can help you reach the level of a half-saint to the greatest extent possible."
Looking at the fervor in Ye Ru's eyes, Lin Ru nodded in admiration. This was the mindset a scholar should have.
Be strong when you are strong!
"I know, where do we go now?"
After suppressing the excitement in his heart, Ye Ru continued.
"Come on, I'll take you to complete some formalities first. There will be a test for your batch later."
Lin Ru led Ye Ru into the Palace of Saints. As soon as they entered, Ye Ru felt as if his entire body had been scanned, and he had a feeling that his whole body could be seen through.
After completing the simple procedures, Ye Ru was assigned to a dormitory.
"The test will be this afternoon to assess your physical fitness and innate abilities. Your ranking will depend on you."
Lin Ru patted Ye Ru on the shoulder and said.
"it is good."
After a short rest here, Lin Ru returned in the afternoon and led Ye Ru to a huge square.
The place was packed with people, including both elderly scholars and young people with a youthful air. Their expressions varied, but their eyes all held a burning passion.
Clearly, those who come here are not extraordinary people.
After a while, the crowd gradually quieted down, and then several figures appeared on the high platform.
These old men were all dressed in white, and their every move exuded a terrifying aura.
"Welcome to our Palace of All Saints. Thank you for choosing the Confucian Mountain. This will be the starting point for your training, which will last for two years."
"Here, the learning methods of the ten kingdoms will no longer be used, and after you come out, you will obtain the power of all the saints and directly reach the level of Hanlin."
"However, there is one thing: when you enter the Holy Palace, we need to test your talents, firstly so that we can also know what level these talented people from the ten kingdoms are at."
"Secondly, we will also create learning methods tailored to your level."
"understand?"
The voice of the leading old man echoed here, causing the many scholars to stir again, while Ye Ru looked at the old man on the high platform with a serious expression.
