《The Divine Mortal》Chapter 21: Prepare for Entrance Exams
Advertisement
Standing under the blazing sun, Roy couldn't help but reveal a smile.
It had only been a total of around 7 days, and he had already reached such a level!
Although this was partly because of his prior experience, one thing he couldn't deny was that the Conqueror of the Abyss's legacy was indeed something extraordinary. Roy knew clearly that he had obtained an impressive inheritance.
"Inheritances and strange encounters are things that people within the immortal sect would envy. It seems that it will be better for me to keep a low profile.
"I just wonder if I could match up with Heller, the First Sovereign of Abyss's Gate, when I have trained to the deeper levels."
Roy's dream had gradually changed from ruling the world and living a life of battles to riding on a sword and living a carefree life. Nevertheless, he would still make sure to exact revenge to that 'cheap' family of his. In any case, he was not in a hurry to execute his revenge plan, at least not after he was done investigating the depth of the matters.
For the remaining 10-plus days, Roy intended to go for the next tier. Though, with his current strength, it was already sufficient for him to participate in the entrance examination. Even so, he was still running on a tight schedule. Partly because he had to divide his time wisely with his 'main job'.
Roy was very much enjoyed his current job and lifestyle.
He conformed to the word of a random wise man on earth, "To achieve greatness, sometimes, one must deal with triviality". He didn't remember who the man was, but he found that the quotation just sit well with him.
"Although I have obtained an inheritance, entering the immortal cultivator's sect is still of utmost importance to me. Resources, networking, and other things are all necessary." Roy was once 'the prince of a kingdom', so he clearly knew about these reasonings.
In the mortal realm, one could only become a martial arts expert after completing the Strengthening Viscera tier.
Strengthening Viscera was about the strengthening the internal organs of the body. The internal organs of the body were the source of vitality and energy and the core of one's body. One's vitality and energy would be completely different after completing the Strengthening Viscera tier.

When mastered, the internal organs would become equivalent to five gods on duty and one would have a steady flow of vitality and energy. The body would be like the world, with the internal organs as strong as monstrous beasts. In fact, one's internal organs would be even more resilient than one's bones.
It would first start from breathing techniques, which actually felt like being cut by a sharp blade. As the air moved and raged within the body, the internal organs would be constantly breaking apart, causing agonizing pain.
"Immortal sect, there will only be one chance."
This was indeed hard to practice. During the process, even Roy had the intention to give up. However, the reality that had struck him had supported him to continue. Even though he felt a thousand blades cutting his heart and his internal organs were constantly being destroyed, he had persisted.
When it came to resilience, Roy had reached a terrifying stage.
The body strengthening in itself already required one to undergo tough training hundreds and thousands of times and experience limitless miseries and pain in order to succeed.
Although it was only over a short period of slightly over ten days, the golden knife edge had ripped apart Roy's internal organs over million times. What came after each rupture was rebirth of a stronger internal organ.
Towards the end, the internal organs of Roy had been polished to the level of gold. Their resilience and strength were comparable to the internal organs of the blue whale in the deep sea. In fact, an exhalation of air even seemed capable of shattering a tree!
One could only truly become strong after strengthening one's viscera.
Between his breathing cycles, there seemed to be tigers and leopards roaring and thunder exploding. Despite being in mortal human form, Roy had already become like a large, wild beast.
Woshshsh!
In the end, when Roy exhaled, a strong gust of wind swept through the forest in front of him. The trees were shaking constantly as the leaves danced through the air and fell.
After succeeding, the first feeling he got wasn't about how strong he had gotten, it was hunger.
Extreme hunger.
"Huh, I guess it's time to eat!" he rubbed his tummy.

As he ran in the forest, Roy easily eliminated a 2,500 pounds wild boar. Using fire to roast it, he was actually able to finish eating it after a few hours.
"As expected, the food recipe from the system is out of this world!" he mused, burping loudly.
"I should really reconsider becoming a chef instead." he laughed.
Looking at the remaining skeletal structure, Roy had not expected his appetite to have increased to this extent.
"Martial cultivators require huge amounts of replenishment. I have no resources currently and can only rely on mortal food for replenishment. I heard that there are some immortal essences or even medicinal pills that can make one feel full for half a month after consumption. Moreover, one would still maintain his strength in the process."
“I've finally succeeded.”
The gloomines that had been around Roy over this period of time vanished instantly. After his body got stronger and his mind got more resilient, he smiled a lot more and spoke in a more refreshing manner than before.
When it came to one's aura, not a single servant would be able to match up with him. If he wasn't wearing the clothing of a servant, there would probably be people who would mistake him as an external disciple.
"My strength is ok and my body is even stronger. Ordinary knives and swords would probably not be able to harm my flesh and blood now."
"I'm really glad that I got yet another way to level up apart from killing." his smiled even wider.
If he said he wasn't happy, he would definitely be lying.
Roy was already very confident about that entrance examination, and it seemed that he still had four days left before it began.
Roy had decided not to train during these three days. Over the past month, Bubu and friends must have been filled with anxiety whenever he saw Roy leave the house. Now that Roy had finally succeeded, he wouldn't have to let him be worried anymore.
Everything was finally in place.
"Senior Brother are finally enlightened. Follow me to the Holy Garden tomorrow and lead an honest life!" Bubu said, weirdly saluting him.
They had already aged and their vision wasn't as good as before. Surprisingly, they had not discovered the major changes on Roy over this period of time despite him clearly looking more forceful and walking with more vigor.
"As a servant, it's better to follow the rules and complete what is required of us. Kicu lost his life because he didn't follow the rules."
"The entrance examination will be taking place in three days. Do you guys want to watch it?" asked Roy when they were eating.
"Sure." This was the most important day for them. They had been there every single time as this was their dream a long time ago. Even if they were to see someone entering the immortal sect by sheer luck, they would also be happy for him.
"Oh, that's good." Roy felt more at ease now.
What Roy didn't know was that Marja Moon had arrived at the most core region of the Mega Mountain Range at this moment.
The main peak of the Mega Mountain Range was known as Supreme Peak!
Rumor had it that it wasn't called so in the past. After the Supreme Sword Sect discovered this place and established their sect here, they renamed that tall mountain peak that reached the skies to Supreme Peak.
On the Supreme Peak, amidst the boundless, nine-colored immortal mist that shrouded the area, one could vaguely see the contours of a large palace. That was the Supreme Palace, the place where the Sect Leader handled his daily affairs and the place where he cultivated.
Countless dangers surrounded the Supreme Palace. Large beasts were flying around and shimmers of knives and swords could be seen. There was even thunder and lightning in the form of snakes that were slithering around. This was one of the forbidden areas in the Supreme Sword Sect. Without the Sect Leader's permission, even the Sect Protector couldn't enter this place directly.
As for the current moment, the girl in the white dress, Marja Moon, landed right in front of the Supreme Palace.
"Master, Marja would like to seek an audience."
