Chapter 240: Earthly Beginning & Heavenly End (7)

Pure elation surfaced on his expression. But this expression was soon thrust into deep confusion. "According to the information of the Monolith of Arts, it assigns an art that one is generally the most talented in. How come I received an Origin Art? I haven't even cultivated the Origin Path."

Normally, he should've received a Martial Art, Soul Art, or Qi Art. After all, those were the three paths he had the most proficiency with. It was also the only three paths that had arts. The Herculean Path used only a single Martial Art that had a deep connection with the Bodily Path, but nothing more.

If the cultivation method had no other arts, it's unlikely other arts exist. If they do, why would the White Sirius Heavenly Monarch have it?

As he pondered, he came to no acceptable conclusion. His first thought pulled him towards his Mortal Dao. To evolve into a Grand Dao, one needed to merge their True Origin with the Grand Dao, but that didn't make sense. After all, at the moment, the True Origin was beyond his reach.

After thinking about it some more, he still found no answer.

"Tch!" Tayla loudly hissed and growled, her mood deteriorating. Yan Zaizen felt slightly startled and looked at everyone. He realized that many were standing next to the Monolith of Arts, and Bajie was nearest. Above the Monolith, a score of 24 showed.

"She's mad he's doing well? Wow, didn't think women of other species were so aggressive. The fact she wished he would do worse despite desiring him is selfish." Yan Zaizen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Among the divine beasts, the females challenged the males. Among the humans, the males challenged the females.

Despite his amazing, nearly impossible score and declaration of peak heavenly sense, no one even approached him. The divine beasts seemed uninterested while the humans were only curious, keeping their thoughts and actions reserved.

Shouldn't he have many women try to court him at this point? He wished he was a divine beast.

With a heavy sigh, he ignored them. To him, he was more shocked that he spent a month in thought. After all, the test completed after a month. If Bajie and the rest were receiving scores, it was because a month had passed.

After Bajie received his score, his body was shrouded by a beam of light from above. He was calm within this light, his eyes closed and his aura steady. With an imperceptible speed, he was shot into the sky. He vanished, but no one panicked.

Instead, they touched the monolith to receive their scores. Then, they too were sent upwards.

"Oh?" Finding this curious, he looked for Ma Xiuren to realize she wasn't here. "She must have already left." Pouting slightly, he wondered why he wasn't sent upwards. This became clear after a bit.

After thirty-eight were sent upwards, Yan Zaizen and the young man with an unfathomable and manipulative feeling sat alone. At the moment, three months had already passed and they remained in complete silence. Externally, their expressions were calm and aura steady, but internally…

"Damnit! Why did you have to break? Will I be stuck here forever?!" He felt ready to cry. This area was unsuitable for cultivation. He couldn't even access his Meteor Ring. He tried everything to escape early.

He used his spacetime law, his death law, and even his water law, yet…

He was feeling hopeless. He could try to cultivate the Origin Path, but doing so left him vulnerable. This young man gave him a strange feeling, and he didn't trust him as far as he could throw him. If he was left in that state and the young man took action, he didn't want to think of the consequences.

This insecure feeling left him perturbed. He cursed at the young man's attempt at being mysterious and being the last person to test his score. "You must have a pretty damn big ego! You must be compensating for something!!"

Just as his curses and insults flew in his mind, the Monolith of Source Potential shone a light. Both Yan Zaizen and the young man looked over. Then, the young man's eyes widened, his mouth gaped, and his heart stopped physically beating.

This wasn't because of fear but out of pure shock and disbelief.

"Physique Grade - Nine, Physique POTENTIAL - Nine, Energy Compatibility - APEX, Essence Compatibility - APEX. Projected MAXIMUM Potential in Energy & Essence Path: Ascended-Class!"

"..." Both were utterly speechless. What the…

Then, another light appeared beneath it.

"Bloodline Purity & Grade: Nine. Primordial Bloodline POTENTIAL - Nine. Projected MAXIMUM Potential in Bloodline: Sovereign-Class."

"!!!" No longer were they speechless. Instead, it was as if the world itself was speechless.

Yan Zaizen looked at the second line and felt odd, "I'm a divine beast?" When he asked this, the young man's head turned towards Yan Zaizen like a wooden doll. There was a type of emotion and fear in his eyes that seemed unfathomable.

"No. My body belongs to my Mother and Father. They had terrible talents and no relation to beasts, so...Herculean?" This was his first assumption, and it was correct. Yan Zaizen's body and bloodline had evolved into a Herculean and even integrated a regalia into his lungs, heart, brain, and actual blood. They were all related to the bloodline.

"But why didn't it display the same for humanoids with bloodlines? Is there a reason they aren't classified as having a bloodline...or was it just too low grade?" As he thought more on the subject, he felt more at a loss.

"Haaa…" he sighed deeply as if the world expected too little. "This Monolith truly has a good eye for potential." Earlier, he said this monolith wasn't set in stone, but now he was complimenting it. Dryly coughing with his boasting, he rose up. A light shone from the sky.

Seeing that he was about to be whisked away, he had a slight smile. He didn't grow overconfident because if an assessment from some stone. When he reached such a stage, then he can be overconfident. Until then, he wasn't immortal or infallible. A single trip up could lead to his death and inevitable end.

A dead genius isn't a genius.

The young man looked at Yan Zaizen for a bit. His eyes grew decisive, "Sir!"

Turning towards the young man, Yan Zaizen grew curious.

"My name's Wang Yi, I offer my eternal allegiance to you." He spoke with a clear voice radiating power and determination, even Yan Zaizen couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.

"Sure." Yan Zaizen felt that his reasoning wasn't simple nor was his motive in this action, but he imagined he would receive many followers in his lifetime. If this person wanted to be his slave, why would he refuse? An extra servant that swore an oath would never be rejected. This was clearly seen with Bai Lufeng.

At the time, he barely knew Bai Lufeng but praised him for his decisiveness and fearlessness. This young man was just as decisive. Back then, Yan Zaizen was at the peak of Grux. Now, he had the projected potential to stand at the peak of the heavens.

The light shone from above and covered Yan Zaizen. "When we leave, you can make it official." He slightly smiled, his eyes flickered with a dark-amber glow. When this flash occurred, Wang Yi felt his heart shudder.

Woosh!

Yan Zaizen was sent upwards.
