Sorcerer Tribe/Priest Selection

## Description

Among the descendants of the Sorcerer Tribe from Heavenly Underworld Star, every five years a young priest would be selected from the entire tribe. After the selection, four priests from the Martial Sage Realm would personally guide the new, young priest in his cultivation and teach him to how to use and control witchcraft. This cultivating process and training usually lasted fifty years. After fifty years, this selected priest would then become one of the core elders of the Tribe. These core elders served as the pillars of the Sorcerer Tribe, and are perceived as the most promising tribe members who will be able to reach the Martial Sage Realm. Their status is considered to be far more respectable than that of the ordinary elders. T

The selection process always required a grand meeting of the Sorcerer Tribe. This was due to the fact that, since this selected individual would receive personal guidance from Sorcerer Priests of the Martial Sage Realm and become a core elder, he must truly be the most eligible and worthy of candidates. After all, this was a chance for instant success! For ordinary Sorcerer Tribesmen, if one of them were to be selected, it would change their entire destiny and allow them to reach unimaginable heights. The most powerful Martial subject of the Sorcerer Tribe was the secret transmission of witchcraft, which was both extremely powerful and taboo. The only way to learn and practice it was to be the lucky, selected priest. Accordingly, every time a young priest is selected, the Sorcerer Tribe holds a grand meeting beforehand.

## Requirements and Rules

* What the judges were looking for in this Young Priest choosing ceremony was talent, potential, fighting power, and not cultivation level.
* The candidates for the young priest could only be those in the Martial Emperor Realm. This was the requirement to participate in it.

* If more than one person passes through, then a battle shall decide who will be chosen as the final candidate.

## Round 1

* This pagoda has a total of three floors and there are projections of Wu Ling on every floor. Everyone who enters the pagoda will meet projections who are of the same level. The first level will have projections with 30% of Wu Ling’s strength, the second level with 50%, and the last with 70% strength. Those who can defeat the projections, successfully pass through the three floors, and reach the top will pass the first round.

*Wu Ling was the previous Young Priest chosen during the last ceremony. He was a revered Young Priest among the Sorcerer’s Tribe now, and his talents and fighting strength was very strong.*

* Eliminated : Wu Changyuan, Wu Tong, ...

## Round 2

*A dull red mountain peak. The mountain peak was not big. It was about a thousand miles high and there were a large number of caves that led toward the inside of the mountain peak. On top of the mountain, there was an astonishingly bloody smell, like copper, as if there was an unlimited supply of blood that had condensed within it. It was truly frightening…*

* This mountain is named Evil Blood Mountain. There is an extremely strong smell of blood inside the mountain peak. Your task for this stage is to absorb the Blood Spirit aura. This is the Bloody Sun Flower Seed. All you need to do is absorb the Blood Spirit Aura and channel it into these seeds. The Bloody Sun Flower Seed will open up and, the more Blood Spirit Aura your provide, the larger the Blood Sun Flower seed will grow. You have an hour to do so, and you’ll only pass the test if your Bloody Sun Flower Seed exceeds one foot in size. Of course, the bigger your Bloody Sun Flower Seed is, the better your results. On the Evil Blood Mountain, there is an array to suppress Fighting Souls. The strength of everyone’s Fighting Souls will be suppressed to the level of Level 1 Martial Emperor Realm.

Results :

* Pass : Wu Chen (30 feet long), Wu Renwang (19 feet long), Wu Ma (10 feet long), Wu Youlan (10 feet long), Wu Qiong (7 feet long), Wu Moyu (6 feet long), Wu Tianyu (1 foot long) (Total : 61)
* Eliminated : N/A

## Round 3

* The next round, the third round, will test you all by requiring you to learn a martial art skill. I will give all of you the same martial skill. This skill is one that the Grand Priest have created recently. Three days from now, those who are able to successfully cultivate it to the Great Completion Realm will pass the test. Although this martial skill is considered easy, to master it within three days would be as difficult as reaching the heavens for you all. If you can pass this round, you can become the tribe’s new Young Priest. However, if more than one person passes, then they will battle it out and the victor will be the new Young Priest.

*The martial skill that the was passed down by the High Priest was a form of Sword Play called “Heaven Sword Skill”. However, the use of of this Sword Play did not require an actual sword. This skill allowed anything in Heaven and Earth to be used as a sword. Grass, wood, flowers, stones, anything could become a sword in hand.*

Results :

* Pass : Wu Chen, Wu Renwang (Total : 2)
* Eliminated : Wu Tianyu (Minor Completion), Wu Moyu, Wu Gangtian, Wu Qiong, Wu Ma, Wu Youlan, ...

Wu Chen was chosen as the winner by the Grand Priest and Fourth Priest. Wu Renwang was unwilling and challenged Wu Chen to death, if Wu Chen want to be the Young Priest, he must accept the challenge.

## Round 3.5

* The winner between Wu Chen and Wu Renwang will become the Young Priest of the Sorcered Tribe
* For a fair match, Wu Renwang cultivation was suppressed to the Level 3 Martial Emperor Realm from his current Level 9 Martial Emperor.
* Neither of them are allowed to use weapons that are in the Honorable Realm or higher.

Wu Che won the battle and became the new Young Priest of the Sorcerer Tribe.
