Chapter 398: The Central Peak
The cultivators at the Seventh Hall were alarmed. Several hundred disciples in black flew down like birds from the peak. Wind-breaking noises filled the air.
They were elites with a ferocious aura and were ready to suppress the rebelling Feng children.
“Bang!” Feng Feiyun slashed the sky open. A dragon wave flew out and engulfed the sky. More than ten heretical disciples were killed with blood pouring down from the sky. Their body slammed into the mountain.
Meanwhile, the Feng members were filled with hatred. All of them unleashed their techniques; more than ten thousand beams of light flew up and blasted the group of elites into smithereens.
The first clan master leisurely followed Feng Feiyun and didn’t say a single thing from start to finish. He stared at Feng Feiyun’s back while slightly nodding his head with an approving smile.
Once they made it to the waist of the mountain, some real experts from the Seventh Hall finally showed up. They were three old men dressed in black robe tinged with gold. Their hair was gray with many wrinkles on their face.
They have cultivated for more than 400 years and were at first-level Heaven’s Mandate. This was the elder level of the Seventh Hall.
Heaven’s Mandate had nine levels. Once reaching the first, one would have five hundred years of life.
It was exceedingly difficult to break through each level. More than half of cultivators became stuck at the first level due to a lack of talents. They would eventually die from old age at this level.
For example, if the Jin Dynasty had one hundred billion citizens, only a very sad amount could reach Heaven’s Mandate, around one million. In other words, only one out of one million would be able to do so.
Alas, among this group, more than half would stop at the first level even if they were to cultivate for four hundred more years. Of course, with all of the training and accumulation through the centuries, they were much stronger than ordinary first-level Heaven’s Mandates.
This was a cruel elimination process. The higher the level, the higher the chance for elimination. For example, only one out of ten half-step Giants would be able to reach the Giant level. Fifth-level Heaven’s Mandate cultivators only had a ten percent chance of reaching the half-step level as well.
