Is That A Wisp? Chapter 154

Lofa was at the very end between those who passed the Exam. In the end, the Sect took in the first 3500 contestants. Considering that the total number was a little over 300k, the Sect had admitted in a little more than 1%. That goes totally according to the majority of the past tests where the accepted number is usually between 1 and 2%. When Lofa looked at the list, she found her name in the 3415th position, which was very close to the end.
But she wasn't the least bit unhappy, if anything, she wanted to jump in joy at the moment. But unfortunately, Krune wasn't here to commemorate with her. The Sect Master took him somewhere, and no one knows where they went.
As for the elders' disciple selection, just as expected, no one of them selected her. But she wasn't disappointed by that fact either. Just the fact that she would be able to join the Divine Path Sect was already a glory that no one believed to be possible in Makui Planet.
---
Shinja was still selected, though. Her Master turned out to be someone from the Inner Sect, a Divine View Realm Blue Luan! Her Master just so happens to be a Divine Demon Beast! Her Master was just as beautiful as Shinja herself in her human form, which for some reason that no one knows, turned out to be the reason why she selected Shinja.
"The way you controlled your skills during the test was very beautiful for someone in your realm, and I love beautiful things. Shinja Avril, will accept me as your Master?"
Although Shinja thought that reason to be somewhat sloppy, it doesn't change the fact that a Blue Luan is an innate master of the water element. Shinja believes that this Blue Luan, as an Inner Sect Elder, has a lot to offer to her and her control over the water element.
"Paying respects to Master."

Yusa and Tasier were in the same boat as Lofa. Even though they had better positions, they still didn't catch the attention of any of the elders. Of course, neither was sad with that. First of all, the chances were low to start with. As long as they are in the Divine Path Sect, everything else doesn't matter. Inner Sect? Outer Sect? Either one is more than good enough!
Ula and Mirrer were the other two Tribulation Lightning users, and each of them was accepted by an elder. As expected, both their Masters were also able to use Tribulation Lightning. Ula was brought away by a Triple-Horned Thunder Lion Demon Beast. While Mirrer left with another human cultivator. Of course, Ula made sure to take Ao's communicator number before departing.
As the masters were selecting their disciples, the number of elders remaining decreased. Once an elder selected someone, they would immediately leave. Things like registering in the Sect or whatever could be done by the menial disciples anyway. The only exceptions were Tiago, Gile, and Jin, who were taking care of the Exam this time.

Finally, there was Joty. He didn't have any big expectations to start with, but suddenly, an elder also called his name.
"Joty Marcat!"
The moment this elder's voice appeared, all the other elders shut up. It was an old man with a big mustache and short hair. Although he didn't look like the beggar Sect Master, he had quite a sloppy appearance.
This man was one of the 3 Legacy Elders that appeared this time around, Amilio Tirac!
Joty thought he was hearing things, but still, he went to the stage just in case. It turns out that the elder was really looking for him!
Amilio then got close to him and grabbed his chin, then he looked deeply into Joty's eyes. Suddenly, the elder's pupils started to change! What before was a single pupil, became two, from two it went the three, and finally, four pupils appeared in his irises.
Joty looked at that and had a fright! But just as he was about to try to free himself, his head started to hurt, especially his own eyes. He wanted to close his them, but the Amilio's Spiritual Energy was gathered on both of them, and it was impeding him from closing.
Joty wasn't able to see it himself, but he could still feel it. Suddenly, his own pupils in each eye divided into two! Still, a second later, they came back to normal. Amilio then released Joty, who was still feeling a little dizzy with the experience.
Amilio looked at that and then started to laugh out loud.
"Hahahahahaha! Finally! Finally, someone appeared! I have been waiting for over 70 thousand years! But it's finally here!"
The other two Legacy Elders then approached Amilio.
"Haha! Amilio, I thought it weird for you out of all of us to come here, but it seems like someone can finally inherit your mantle."
The other elder complimented as well.
"Now, you won't have that stiff face every time we talk about our disciples anymore. Isn't that good?"
Amilio then looked at them and said.
"Hmph! You just so wait! Now that this old man has found an inheritor, I want to see if you can still keep those smug faces when he trashes your disciples later on!"
The other two elder heard that and sighed, this crazy guy has always had a competitive spirit. But because he had never found a disciple with the same special bloodline as him, he had never had the chance to talk when the other Legacy Elders spoke about their disciples' accomplishments.
"Then I will wait to see what you can bring out of this kid, but don't forget that I'm taking that Fire Dragon that learned how to use Blue Flames by himself."
The elder's name was Hiro, a Draconic Salamander! Although he has the Draconic in his name, he isn't exactly a dragon. But he still shares a lot of their traits. Not to mention that he is a Semi-Divine Beast. In fact, if he had used the Sect's resources and refined the dragon bloodline in his blood, he could have evolved into a real dragon. But he refused! He fought as a Draconic Salamander for most of his life. Changing into a real dragon now would add little to his strength and bring a lot of problems instead, so he stayed as a Draconic Salamander.

Hiro then looked at Gomat's direction.
"Gomat!"
A second later, Gomat appeared on the stage. In fact, Hiro came from the same Planet as him, so it was already more or less decided that Gomat would be going into Hiro's care.
"Master!"
Hiro nodded, turned around, and said to Amilio.
"The winner isn't decided yet. Hahaha!"
He then brought Gomat away after that.
Amilio didn't give a damn, though. He looked at Joty and asked.
"How long are you going to take to pay your respects?"
Joty, who was still lost at everything that was happening in front of him, was taken aback once more. Isn't this Amilio a Legacy Elder? What was all that talk of finally found someone with the same bloodline? It must have something to do with the weird things that happened during the Exam, isn't it? Still, Joty knew that that was his chance! Joty then immediately said.
"Paying respects to Master."
Amilio nodded, satisfied. He then enveloped Joty with his Spiritual Energy and left straight away. On the way, Amilio commented with Joty.
"I noticed your presence the day before the test, but there was too little time, so all I could do was to help you release a tiny bit of your bloodline's power. That was for the sake of you passing the Exam so that no one would complain if I took you in without taking the test. But from now on, a harshly training schedule awaits for you. Are you ready?"
Joty immediately answered.
"I'm ready!"
Still, he was confused.
"But Master, what exactly is my bloodline power? Also, does it mean that my entire family has it?"
Amilio shook his head.
"They don't, this is not something that is passed through genetics. In fact, it looks a lot like the Major Cores, you never know where it can appear, nor the conditions necessary. You probably noticed already after everything you heard back there. Yes, our bloodline power is even rarer than the Nine Major Cores, and we only lose to the Tenth One, the Heavenly Major Core."
He then looked at Joty with a severe face.
"As for what the power of our bloodline is, you will come to understand later."
Joty and Amilio then disappeared in the distance.
---
The last Legacy elder saw that the other two already left and looked at Colen's direction.
"Colen, let's go!"
Colen, who had been waiting until now, didn't seem surprised by that. He then immediately appeared on the stage and said.
"Yes, Uncle."
Colen might be affected by the fact that Krune was selected by the Sect Master. Still, he already had his own connection in the Sect, so he didn't need to be worried about an elder calling him to start with.
The third Legacy Elder was Wallan Fecit, Colen's Uncle. Well, Uncle was just a way to say that, the generations separating Wallan and Colen is already too hard to even count. Still, Colen came from the branch of Wallan's sister back then, so he was still his Uncle to a certain degree.
---
After the elders left with their own disciples, Tiago continued with the schedule.
"For those who haven't been selected, work hard, and rise above in the ranks. Our Sect is quite free, but if you want resources, you will need to fight for it! Here, Merits are everything! With enough merits, any cultivation resource, equipment, formation, and everything else is yours to take!"
"Now, I will divide you into those who are going to the Inner and Outer Sect."
Suddenly, everyone's communicators received a message.
"Look into your communicator, inside you can find a message with all that you need to know. If you have any questions, you can find a link inside where you can contact the Sect's Disciple's Care hotline. There you can also see where you make your Disciple Badge and where your residence is from now on."
That was pretty much as the majority expected. Cultivators are indeed a lot stronger than technological equipment weapons. But when things come to information propagation, the technological gadgets like the communicators are indeed hundreds of times better than simple Divine Sense Messages or the old and obsolete jade slips. They can keep all the necessary information, after all.
Tasier and Lofa looked inside and found out that they were sent to the Outer Sect. As for Yusa, although she didn't get the attention of the elders, she was still sent to the Inner Sect due to her accomplishments.
It was then that Yusa remembered something.
"My spirit stones!"
Yusa then spent the next hour running here and there collecting everything. Krune, Ao, and Arlan were taken away, so there was only her at the moment to do the job. Of course, Lofa and Tasier still helped to gather everything.
"So what if I wasn't selected by an elder, as long as I have spirit stones, nothing else matters. Hahahaha!"
Lofa and Tasier saw that and sighed. Perhaps, she was good the way she is.
---
Back into the Sect's Master resting place, Lucio looked at Krune and asked.
"Ready to accept me as your Master now?"
Krune's mouth twitched.
"Is that the way someone asks the other to be his disciple?"
Lucio just smiled and kept waiting. Poor Krune... didn't look very well at the moment.

Character Development Gallery | Wikia | Official Site | Patreon | Facebook | Twitter ————————————————————————————————————- Summary ————————————————————————————————————- In a world where everyone can use magic, where treasure hunters, alchemists, and warlocks are common professions, and where mage duels are the most popular form of entertainment, Kiel is a "non-mage" - a person who doesn't have the aptitude to use magic on regular basis - until he meets Elaru - a spell breaker of mysterious origin, wielder of the fabled 'Aethernea of Sight' - eyes that can see magic, who claims she can give him the power to become the greatest mage world of Halnea has ever seen. Coerced into binding his soul to hers, Kiel finds himself pulled into a web of secrets, where one wrong step could end in his untimely demise. Who, or what is Elaru Wayvin really? What is her relation to the ruling 15 noble mage families? What is the source of The Ink - a mysterious plague spreading through the continent? What is the Aetherneal bond between them and what has it turned them into? What is the truth behind gods and divine magic? Why has the third race of Halnea - the Ascended, mysteriously disappeared, and what is the connection between the remaining two races? In the search for truth, Kiel and Elaru enroll at the most prestigious University of Magic. Yet, between awkward social events, falling in love, thrilling competitions, blood curling battles, irritating peers, and damnable love rivals, there is little time for studying. And as if avoiding sinister plots from all sides wasn't difficult enough, their new detestable mentor takes them on a voyage into the uncharted forbidden zone filled with unspeakable secrets, ancient riddles, man-eating monsters, and deadly traps. A quest that just might end up changing the fate of the entire world. ————————————————————————————————————- What do readers say about it? ————————————————————————————————————- "Aethernea is my absolute favorite read on wattpad, I love it as much as I love Harry Potter and The Mortal Instruments. You have such an amazing way to make the words flow and unbelievable descriptions. Unique characters and a great story line. All the small clues and mystery in the humor and fantasy just makes the book perfect in my opinion. I read all chapters in two days! Less than 48 hours even! I'm REALLY looking forward to the next update, the world of Aethernea is so deep and well thought out, it's beautiful and magical. God I can't believe how creative you are, so many small details with so many families and stories everywhere. Purely fantastical, I admire you." - astro-logical from Wattpad "I love love love Aethernea so much! It is amazing how you created this new world with different creatures, magics, looks, illnesses, and evil! I was blown away by your explanation of the Mana pools and how to weave magic! Simply stunning really! You are one of my favorite authors and Wattpad and I am so glad I stumbled upon Aethernea because it is worth all of my time reading!" - Adriana_V_Blade from Wattpad "I absolutely am loving Aethernea so far. I am certain you belong in the ranks among J.K. Rowling, Rick Riordan, Suzane Collinings, and many more great and wonderful authors. You opened up a whole new world for me, which only a few great authors have accomplished. While it's true I am pulled into each and every book, few are able to capture me to the point of inescapability. Though, somehow, you have managed this feat. I thank you for this and more! You are a wonderful author and can't wait for more to come!" - daughterofpercabeth7 from Wattpad "WOW! just caught Aethernea in gravity tales! Just when I was getting tired of most xianxia novels this appears and completely blows my mind! I really like the depth and the humorous touch you give the characters and it seems you have the storyline well thought out since you are always hinting about things in the past and the future. It has been such an enjoyable experience that I couldn't stop reading, finishing it in just one day and laughing my way through most of the episodes. But what keeps me so excited for what's coming is the magic system and the professions of the world you are creating.The magic mechanics have such a huge potential! They are simple but at the same time they open so many possibilities. Even though we still only understand the basics of transmutation and augmentation, I expect them to enable fights where there is need of quick thinking and skill, and not just brainless overpower of every opponent. In a way this makes me reminiscent about The Mistborn Series by Brandon Sanderson, which are one of my favorite series ever. The thing that sets Mistborn apart from any other series is that the mechanics are so well thought out that they could be used to create a super cool triple A video game and I cannot help but hope Aethernea reaches the same level or even surpass it. I really think it has that potential. Really hope this series gets the attention it deserves. As for me, Thursdays and Sundays just got a whole more exciting! =)" - AlexMLion "Your writing is fantastic and riveting, the chapters and character flow so smooth, and it captivates the reader with the many twist and turns that tricks one mind into thinking this is about to happen, when suddenly the exact opposite happens. You truly are in inspirational writer with a brilliant mind that can see and put words into chapters and into this one truly awesome book. Thank you!" - AshleyStaar from Wattpad "I loved this story, such detailed description and accurate words, both Kiel and Elaru completely caught my attention, your writing style is just beautiful and the plot is astounding and it's just the first episode! This kind of fantasy stories are my favourite, it has a lot of magic in it, rivalry and sense of humour." - BlackWhiteD from Wattpad

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
