Long River Eternity

The two men flew slowly from behind the mountains in the north. When they flew over the village, everyone could see that they were two men, both about 20 years old.

They landed in front of the villagers as light as a feather. The leading man said softly, "No need to kneel, everyone. Stand up. We will select qualified children this year, and we can begin now."

After saying this, he pulled out a fist-sized, transparent stone from his pocket and said, "Children aged between four and ten, please step forward and touch the Spiritual Stone in turn. Depending on the strength and characteristics of your spiritual roots, it will produce different phenomena."

"Hurry up, there are several villages waiting behind us." The man standing at the back with a defiant look on his face urged. The leading man glanced at him dissatisfiedly, but said nothing.

Hearing the immortal's urging, the villagers did not dare to delay. The village woman in front hurriedly pushed her child forward and motioned him to go and touch the spirit stone.

The boy was about 6 years old. He put his little hand on the Spirit-asking Stone without knowing what was going on. The moment his hand touched the stone, an almost imperceptible green light flashed in the center of the Spirit-asking Stone.

"Waste wood spirit root, go back, next one." said the leading man.

The village woman took her child back home disappointedly, and Uncle Jiang's eyes revealed helplessness and disappointment.

Soon, all 11 children in the village were tested, and only one of them barely reached the low-grade fire spiritual root, and the rest were waste. No wonder Uncle Jiang said that no child had been selected in more than ten years.

"Although he is of low quality, he has the qualifications to cultivate immortality. We will take this child away. When he comes of age, he can come back to visit his family." The leading man said to the child's parents.

"Thank you for your cultivation, immortal!" The child's parents knelt down and said excitedly.

"After all this time, we only found a low-grade one. I don't understand why my father insisted on me coming along." The rebellious man muttered, and at the same time signaled the leading man to leave quickly and go to the next village.

Seeing the Immortal about to leave, Yang An quickly stepped forward and said, "Immortal, please stay. Can we also test your aptitude?"

Before the leading man could say anything, the unruly man said impatiently, "I noticed you just now. Everyone else knelt and saluted when they saw us, but you didn't. I don't blame you anymore. Now you want to test your aptitude. Didn't you hear me say that it's for children between 4 and 10 years old? You're all grown up, but at such an age, you don't even have a trace of spiritual energy. What's there to test?"

Although Yang An was displeased by the man's arrogant words, he still patiently said, "To be honest, I have lived in seclusion in the mountains with my master since I was young, and have never been exposed to the way of cultivation. Today, I learned about this way and I am quite yearning for it. I also want to know if I have the qualifications to cultivate immortality. Please help me, immortal."

The defiant man was about to continue speaking when the leading man waved his hand and interrupted him, "On Pangu Continent, everyone has the opportunity to cultivate immortality. If, as you say, you have never had your aptitude tested, I will naturally give you a chance. However, I remind you that given your age, even if you are found to have the aptitude to cultivate immortality, it would probably be too late."

After saying that, he took out the Spiritual Stone from his arms again and handed it forward.

"Thank you for the reminder, Immortal." Yang An bowed.

"Let me go first, this is interesting!" Hao Fei walked forward with a smile and stretched out his hand to the Spirit Stone eagerly.

As Hao Fei's palm touched the Spirit-Asking Stone, a dazzling blue light filled the entire Spirit-Asking Stone. At this time, the Spirit-Asking Stone was like a light bulb flashing blue light.

"Extreme...top-grade water spirit roots?" the unruly man said in disbelief. "If this had been cultivated since childhood, he would have reached the level of a city lord by now, right?"

"It's a pity that he missed the best age for cultivation. It's a waste." The leading man said regretfully.

"What do you mean? My incredible talent is just wasted like this?" Hao Fei said aggrievedly.

"That's right." The rebellious man replied with a gloating look.

"Let me try. Even the good fat is top quality, so I should be no bad either." Shi Gang walked up and pulled back Hao Fei, who looked hopeless, and put his hand on the Spiritual Stone.

This time it was a dazzling purple light.

"Another top-grade spiritual root, or a variant of the wood spiritual root, or a thunder spiritual root?!" The arrogant man thought that he only had a top-grade spiritual root. He felt terrible.

"I told you, Hao Fei, I think I'm a little better than you." Shi Gang said to Hao Fei with a smile.

"Tsk, they're all scrapped anyway." Hao Fei said softly.

"Let me try it too." Dr. Qin placed his hand on the Spiritual Stone.

"Fortunately, this time it's just top-grade earth spiritual roots. I thought all of them were abnormal." The rebellious man breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the leading man and Yang An both frowned.

"I'll do it, I'll do it." Ye Tingxue jumped out from behind, smiled and put his hand on the Spiritual Stone.

A burst of green light, brighter than that of Shi Gang and Hao Fei, burst out, so bright that everyone could hardly open their eyes. A few runes even appeared on the spirit stone.

"This...this...wood-type...natural spiritual root? There aren't many natural spiritual roots in the entire southern border." The arrogant man was so frightened that he couldn't even speak clearly.

At this moment, the leading man put away the Spiritual Stone, drew his sword, and pointed it at the crowd, "Who are you exactly? The worst of you have only top-grade spiritual roots. Even if you never practice, it's impossible for such talents to be free of spiritual fluctuations just by passively absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. You're hiding your realm? What exactly do you want to do?"

"This...we have indeed never practiced cultivation, nor have we reached any realm." Yang An explained.

In fact, Yang An had long guessed that his group had the talent to cultivate immortality. After all, before crossing over, they were all leaders in their respective fields and were regarded as geniuses. Otherwise, they would not have been asked to participate in such an important experiment. However, he did not expect that their talent would be so extraordinary.

The ancients said that the most outstanding tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Now they have no strength at all, but they have exposed their qualifications that are totally mismatched with their strength, which is not necessarily a good thing.

At this point, Jie Ao Nan also recovered from his shock and realized that something was amiss. "Also, who exactly is your master? Why has he gathered such a large group of people with extraordinary talents? Is there some conspiracy?"

Yang An didn't know how to explain it at this moment, and the others were also at a loss as to what to do with this sudden change.

Yang An's side knew they were no match for the other side and didn't dare to act rashly, while the other side, fearing Yang An's extraordinary talent and not knowing if he was hiding his strength, didn't dare to attack either. The two sides were in a stalemate.

"I am their master." At this moment, a voice came from above everyone's head. The voice was extremely majestic, and people who heard it had the urge to worship it.

The sound was accompanied by a strong sense of oppression, which came from the deepest part of the soul, like a mouse seeing a cat or a rabbit seeing a wolf.

Everyone tried to look up, and saw a tall figure standing in the sky, the whole body wrapped in fog, and only a section of the snake tail was visible at the bottom.

"Who are you? My father is the deputy city lord of Qiandui City. How dare you attack me? Put away your pressure!" The arrogant man shouted in panic.

"Hmph!" The man's cold snort was enough to make the unruly man go limp all over and kneel powerlessly on the ground.

"Enshrouded in mist, a snake's tail..." The leading man was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and then hurriedly knelt down, "Disciple Bai Ling pays homage to Taoist Master Fuxi!"

"He is the ancestor of mankind, Fuxi?!" Yang An thought to himself, "But why would he claim to be his own master?"

Fuxi ignored Bai Ling, and the white mist above his head fluctuated, as if Fuxi was turning his head to look at Yang An.

"Yang An. Are you unhappy to see your master?" Fuxi called out Yang An's name with immense majesty in his voice.

At this moment, Yang An seemed to see Fuxi's slightly smiling eyes through the white mist.

These are a pair of eyes of immense wisdom, and their depths seem to contain everything in the universe.
