"How is the Heart Cleansing Pool Trial going?"
"As you anticipated... those Transcendents without power or background, even if given the opportunity, cannot grasp it. Less than one-tenth pass the Heart Cleansing Pool test."
The Great Elder walked toward the temple, listening to the Holy Judge's report on the way.
"Those 'loose cultivators' selected in the preliminary screening have basically completed their trials. Many can't even withstand the mental pressure inherent in the Heart Cleansing Pool's water, opting to forfeit instead."
The Holy Judge laughed, "Now these loose cultivators have returned, and next are the trials of various delegations."
"Good."
The Great Elder nodded.
Given his status and the preciousness of his "bloodline," how could it be possible for him to waste time monitoring ordinary Transcendents' trials?
If a truly exceptional talent among those loose cultivators emerges, he will pay attention then.
The Great Elder asked, "Have the delegates arrived?"
