《Sovereign Immortal (Technically not cancelled?)》Chapter 8. Coming of Age Ceremony (Two)

In the distance was an incredibly large building, surrounding it were three statues, they were the Three Ancestors of the Tri Sect Alliance and each of them was still alive as the Sect Master of their current sect.
Currently, there were several hundreds of carriages going to the large building and other then the large building there was also another building which was barely smaller than it and it said on top of it "Spiritual Capacity Test" and contained the same ragged old man.
Near to him, was a spirited young girl, she had a slender waist, long and smooth legs with a beautiful face and a figure which could simply be described as nothing less than breathtaking.
By merely looking at her, mortals would be stuck in a trance and this would be without any Qi or techniques, but by the mere sight of her.
Even cultivators would feel somewhat reluctant in fighting against her. Ye Yin would be described as a beautiful Princess figure which shook the hearts of nations, but this spirited girl would simply be given the title of Goddess.
She currently had her hands on her body curves which were made more noticeable, seeing such a thing even those of the Zhenren Council wouldn't be able to remain unmesmerized from such a beauty.
She was Ven An, the Grand Princess of the Ven Nation. She was a Princess that was hidden from the public eye and even to her siblings she was only known as by name.
Within the entire Ven Nation, there were about three people who knew her and saw her in person, they were her Father who had greatly cherished Ven An, due to her incredible literary abilities.
Her youngest brother who was about a year younger than her, meaning that Ven An at the age of fourteen was the only one able to gain any attention out of all her siblings, from her father.
The other was a ragged old man who was also her teacher and even the Ven King's senior by several generations and only decided to teach Ven An due to her incredible literary abilities and Ven Ru being his first and only other disciple.
Ven An, didn't just have incredible literary skills, her cultivation was already at the Late Stage of Emergence. Her talent was perhaps the greatest if not, at least among the top three within the entire Empire.
But going from the late stage to the Peak of Emergence was a step equivalent from a mortal cultivating to the Late Stage of Emergence and going from the Peak of Emergence to not even the First Transition, but rather having the ability and strength of assailing the first transition and live to tell the tale without succeeding was the same as having to reach the Peak of Emergence from the stage of a mere Mortal.

Those that lived without becoming a First Transition Cultivator would become stuck to the Pseudo Transitioned Realm, but at the same time, their strength would be said to even higher than most at the First Transition, but they could never enter the Second Transition, fortunately their lifespan actually increased higher, albeit not as high as a First Transition it was enough to keep them busy and make sure they don't go crazy.
The Tribulation of the Transition was truly dangerous unless one was born from a powerful noble family or had an incredible fortuitous encounter or simply earth-shaking talent it was virtually impossible to pass the first Transition.
Yuan Li, Yuan Zen, Ven Zhengzhong, Liu Yan, Ven An and several others all had one of three at least and could be described as having a smooth path into the World of Cultivation.
But after the First Transition, everything was completely up to the person who was undergoing the Second and beyond Transition.
When one is at the Quarter, Half Step or anything beyond Peak of Emergence they could get the help of someone who was already in the First Transition, to help them via giving them Qi from a distance, lend them information on their path of cultivation and other ways.
Giving Qi was the most common way that people became First Transition cultivators, but by the second Transition, whenever giving Qi was done, the Heavens would react in anger and attempt to kill whoever dared to do so, albeit the power of the Heavens then, would be limited regardless, unless one achieved Enlightenment they wouldn't escape with their lives.
Following the Path of another person would be similar, but by the Second Transition, people's path would start to differ and change immensely. Perhaps if an Enlightenment Senior was giving information of their own path to a First Transition Junior it would work.
But if a Seventh Transition Senior gave information to a First Transition Junior it may or may not work, depending on the similarities in the path.

"Teacher!". This was said by Ven An, her voice sounded as if was said with an Angelic tone, but the ragged old man simply ignored her.
The ragged old man, looked to Ven An and then outside a window and said "Yuan Li.... What is your connection with that, person?...."
Ven An stood still and attempted to say something else, but then all of a sudden she heard a voice from the ragged old man, "Go!, I need to divine some stuff".
Surprisingly, this old ragged man was actually a Diviner and saw that his destiny and another's was heavily connected for some reason.
Normally Diviners wouldn't be able to see their own destiny, they could only see a likely possibility out of the limitless possibilities that existed, the ragged old man saw upon thousands of people destinies that may or may not come true, but for some reason he could see his own and in it was a young boy whom would decide his fate.

Ven An, left the room and thought "I wonder what Fourth Uncle is doing? Teacher Li said he was here and keeps talking to himself about it...".

Moving around elegantly, was a teenager who wore a silver robe with blue lightning symbols on the parts of his body, this was Yan Mo.
He was simply testing his skill around a few trees and didn't have a single care in the World as he did so, every so often he would stop and look at the sky and smile.
Yan Mo didn't know why he was here, whilst the Forefather was the one who gave the order, he simply got Yan Mo's father who was a high-level Elder within the Sect, to do so instead.
Yan Mo, because of his father's status and not of the forefather's who was impartial, was a True Disciple of the Lightning Hall.
Disciples were usually divided into the ranks from lowest to highest, Outer Region Disciple, Formal Disciple, Inner Palace Disciple, Conclave Disciple, True Disciple and finally Venerable Disciple.
Elders were ranked in virtually the same way, but none of the sects, including the Yun Star Sect which had its main base in another country, used all the disciple rankings.
Only major level sects within the Empire of Zhenren such as the Supreme Nine Soul Sects which was lead by a member of the Zhenren Council would use all the ranks.
Most sects such as the Lightning Hall and the others within Ven Country used instead, Outer Disciple, Inner Disciple, Conclave Disciple and True Disciple.
Yan Mo wasn't truly deserving of the True Disciple title and was more of a Conclave disciple, but his contributions to the sect were truly greater than others even if his strength wasn't.
He had killed several evil people and saved the lives of thousands, but even that wasn't deserving of the True Disciple title, usually True Disciples wouldn't even lower themselves to the way of saving people personally but Yan Mo, did so why earned him the merit of the people and the sect which was why no one objected to him being a True Disciple.
It was also so that, people of other sects would say that "Yan Mo, despite being a True Disciple, lowers himself to help others!". If Yan Mo as a Conclave Disciple did so, the effect of Yan Mo's virtuous actions wouldn't be as big then.

Zhou Ye and Ye Cheng were currently both in different carriages which were all travelling to the large building, within Zhou Ye's carriage were three other people.
If this was any other Third Rate City than the one, Zhou Ye lived in than the carriage would likely be filled with about five to eight people instead.
Zhou Ye's village was a part of a Third Rate City, but they were treated like a First Rate City, due to their Three Family Heads, Zhou, Kov and Lin who were all great figures at the Spirit Foundation. (Feeling guilty for changing this, hopefully, noone will ever notice)
But also that rumours had it each of the Three Family Heads had their Ancestor's backing them up. It took place a few decades ago when the Ancestors of the Three Families were the Family Leaders but entered seclusion.
Not just that, rumours had it that each of the Ancestors were all Soul Emergents which was the first condition for a City to be a First Rate City and eventually a Ruler City with five Soul Emergents.
No one knew what happened, but after a certain day, the Three Family Leaders entered seclusion and Three new Family Heads came to take upon their mantles.
Within, Zhou Ye's carriage of four people, including himself, Zhou Ye was currently conversing with the other three.
"So Zhou Ye, you're from the Zhou Family? That's a pretty big family!". Zhou Ye was currently being admired by another person whose name was Yozu, he didn't have a surname because he was from a very poor family.
There were also two other people, Zhan and Lin Voen, Zhan came from a slightly better family, but he didn't have a surname either. Voen came from the Lin Family which was, fortunately, an allied family with the Zhou Family.
If Lin Voen, instead came from the Kov Family, then Zhou Ye and Lin Voen would have to naturally be enemies with each other, lest their own families turn on them.
Lin Voen, simply smiled at Zhou Ye and looked to the other two, not with disdain, but rather no emotion at all.
Ye Cheng's carriage was a bit different, there were three other people, but only one person spoke to Ye Cheng and the other two were simply quiet.
Kov Bai was the name of the only person talking to Ye Cheng, she was pretty nice and fortunately for Ye Cheng, she didn't that he was friends with Zhou Ye.
