《The Divine Mortal》Chapter 27: Entrance Examination Day (3)
Advertisement
"Roy hasn't come back yet!" Bubu and the others looked left and right.
Beside him, a fat, burly servant had taken up Roy's spot.
It was already noon.
From this position, you could see who first emerged from the Immortal's Path.
The fight of the Immortal's Path was first, then the fight of the Heavenly Promotion Plateau, and any who passed could become a Heavenly Immortal.
More than 100,000 servant disciples were present, necks craned, yet not a sound was heard. They quietly waited for it to begin.
In the sky, the Sky Cranes danced. On each Immortal Crane was an official disciple of the Supreme Sword Sect. They gathered in twos and threes. Today, they were on high to watch the events.
But the most attention-grabbing person was the overseer of this examination: an elderly person!
On the Heavenly Promotion Plateau, there floated a platform of white jade. There were a few swirls below it, as though it were being kept aloft by the wind, which lifted the white jade platform into the air.
On the platform were three white jade thrones. The one in the center was the largest, and on it sat an elder with white eyebrows, white hair, and a white robe. His face was solemn, and intimidating without anger.
This was the Elder of Supreme Sword Sect, Zo Mu.
There was no one on the left seat. On the right seat was a white-robed girl. It was Marja Moon. Many of Poro Mountain's servants felt proud upon seeing that Marja Moon was present.
"Moon, are there any good servants from Poro Mountain coming?" Elder Zo Mu asked casually.
He knew that given Marja Moon's temper, she would not pay too much attention to average disciples.
"Just one named Roy," Marja Moon said.

"Is this person special?" Zo Mu was curious.
"I don't know. I was thinking the same thing, so I came today to see for myself," Marja Moon said.
"I see. Then I will pay extra attention." Zo Mu chuckled. Even if he laughed, others were still very reverent towards him.
After all, he was a major presence in the Supreme Sword Sect.
"Marja Moon is actually here!"
In the sky, the Immortal Cranes flocked. In one excellent position was Doko Joke and the other three.
"Doko Joke, what's there to see in a bunch of servants? they are nothing but lowly creatures," the red-clothed girl said arrogantly.
"a disgrace to our sect, ultimately a joke to the whole cultivation world!" she added fiercely.
"BUU.." the other 2 spurted out a mouthful of wine from their mouth. Originally, they were enjoying the view when this foul-mouthed girl suddenly spouted some ridicule without mincing her words. She didn't even notice Doko Joke was glaring dagger at her, she casually shrugged while playing with her fingernail.
Doko Joke said. "Sui Lama, since there's nothing else to do, let's see them do battle like beasts and amuse ourselves."
The red-clothed girl's name was Sui Lama.
The tall girl in blue was called Lala Moa.
And the other tall, thin guy was Aba Wox.
They were geniuses, and descendants of martial families. A First-Rate Families!
Especially Doko Joke. His family was secretly aristocrats of the martial way. A week ago his supposedly crippled cultivation was miraculously restored, albeit with great efforts. It turned out that the mysterious woman didn't really abolish his cultivation base, she only sealed it temporarily. But, the seal was too strong for even a Spirit Master Expert to break. Hence, the Joke family had to find an array master to help in cracking the seal.

One has to know that an array master was very rare in this world. After all, to cultivate this path, one must have a strong body constitution as well as numerous resources to back the energy that was required in creating and breaking a formation. This was the reason they were a few and far between, only the Great Families and other big shots had this kind of specs.
Therefore, the Joke family had wasted many resources only to find a single array master. Doko was very frustrated to find this fact and swore to take his revenge someday when he was strong enough.
Naturally, he was referring to Roy when talking about his vengeance.
Nevertheless, he was also curious who was that mysterious woman that had sealed his cultivation base with such ease. Even the array master had found the sealing formation to be too complex and needed 1 week time to completely destroy the restriction. Such strong formation could only come from a peerless array master! The mysterious woman must have been a very strong individual in the sect that he didn't know of.
As such, Doko wouldn't dare to think of any weird ideas that could potentially end his whole family's thousand years of inheritances. He also couldn't risk offending someone from the sect, especially when he was still relatively new and still oblivious of many details.
In this generation, the three brothers from his family had been chosen to enter the Supreme Sword Sect, which were youngest brother Doko Joke, the second brother Dum Joke, and the most outstanding eldest brother Muc Joke.
"Doko Joke, let's not be too arrogant. I heard that among these disciples, two have already reached the low tier of the Spirit Foundation Realm, one level below us."
".." Doko Joke was unfazed, he silently gazed at a certain young man that had just exited the first examination ground.
It was said that the battle on the Immortal's Path had already started.
"Let's guess which of the two emerge first from the Immortal's Path."

The Mystifying Diviner
Content warning, there is cursing in the story and there will be some pretty heavy sexual innuendos in it also. I don’t really plan to write gore, but there will be fight scenes. Fair warning to readers, it is a slow start. But hopefully it is enjoyable for you to read. Follow the story of an old chef who was lucky to be selected to become a system host. Well maybe not so lucky, because gaining the system killed him. He will be given a system that might not be the best match for him. While also having to deal with a snarky system monitor who might not be that helpful most of the time. He will also use his new found powers to enjoy life in a new younger body. What you can expect from this story is bad writing, poor grammar, and slow pacing maybe. Food, cooking, comedy, slice of life, fighting, exploring, tournaments, scamming and probably face slapping. I mean who doesn’t like a good face slapping? This is my take on a cultivation story, a lot of Eastern stuff will be crammed into with a mix of Western. This story started as a goal for myself to write 60,000 words in a month for NaNoWriMo. I was able to do it even with taking days off and not writing. I plan to keep writing the story, but at a slightly slower pace. I am aiming for 2-3 chapters a week now with about 4-7k words written. This is only posted on RoyalRoad currently, and I have no plans to change that for now. Cover art is by Jack0fheart [Participant in the 2021 Royal Road Writathon Challenge for the month of November 2021]

"I'm hungry" This thought haunts the head of Rin Shin, a beastly hybrid throughout her unfortunate life. In a region where human dominance ruled over other races, she was the undesirable fruit of a slave and her master. Since she was little she was sold many times for various reasons, but nowhere did she receive affection, if not hatred and disgust, and the only thing that saved her from the greatest misfortune was her luck and discretion. But now when her mind was fed up with everything, she was sold as the lowest ranking servant to the most prestigious but dangerous place in the region, the crown prince's palace. It is in this place where the opportunity for freedom will finally be presented in exchange for being able to resist several years of servitude. But can she get her freedom?.

8 163Journey into My New Life
I was once a college student who minded his own business. That's not to say I am a coward but I just didn't involve myself with events outside of my scope of existence. That all changed when the Fire Nation attacked... Just kidding. But in all seriousness due to several unfortunate events I died and went to heaven or whatever. I was given a mission and sent on my way to my next life. I suppose you could call it rebirth but the world I was reborn in is very different than Earth. There are many races and many new things including MAGIC! Unfortunately, there is little to no technology or science never underestimate the stupidity of a people who can just wave their hand and make fire. "How does it work?"" "It just works?"" ""What happens if you give it extra oxygen?"" "What is 'oxygen' is it tasty?"AN: Hey, this is my first official novel/fiction. I plan to separate it into several books and I have it all planned out I just have to write the actual story. I'll try to post at least once a week after I upload the first 30,000 words.Although this has a Mature tag it's only slightly mature. I don't go over the top with gore there may however be sexual scenes in later chapters.Parts of this are similar to mushoku tensei but the story later diverges from the canon.
