Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao

================¶¶================

All their lives, they have been told about how the members of the other race are their sworn enemies and can never be trusted.

Their minds are filled with how bad the members of the other race were and this has created a preconceived bias in their hearts against other races.

'Has our elders been wrong all this time?' Some thought about it more deeply.

If these words were coming from someone without strength and renown they would scoff at him for his foolishness.

But these were words from a figure that is above the most powerful men that they knew.

This can be called an effect of strength. As even though the man before them is long dead, they still had the utmost respect for him.

But then again, 'old habits die hard'.

The middle-aged man waited a bit for his words to sink in and nodded in approval seeing that no one dismissed his words and thought deeply about it instead.

It would be impossible to change the prejudice in just an instant, but for now, a seed had been planted in their hearts.

"Alright, you can contemplate on such matters later. For now, you all will undergo a test to determine if you have any talent for practicing the Alchemy Dao."

Everyone was brought away from their thoughts and became excited again.

The man waves his hand and a table with an orb embedded into it appeared.

"Walk forward and place your hand on the black orb. I will choose two people with the best talent."

"Now step forward in an orderly manner."

'An artifact that can test a person's talent for alchemy? Even the alchemy association doesn't have one.' Arthur observed the orb curiously.

Many became nervous and hesitated to be the first to step forward.

"Fine, I'll go first!" A member of the fire spirit sect said and walked out 'boldly'(?).

Immediately, he placed his hand on the black orb and it glowed with a tiny white light for a bit before fading.

"Next!" The man said nothing if such a reaction from the orb was good or not and called out for the next person to step forward.

Just like that, all the members of the Fire Spirit Sect tested their Alchemy talent and only their leader was able to arouse the best reaction which was only a slightly more glowing light than the others.

'Sigh, there goes my hopes of getting the inheritance,' he thought regretfully as he removed his hand and returned to his previous spot.

In reality, everyone has a chance to practice the alchemy dao.

If you don't have a special physique or talent for it, you would only need to learn Flame Intent, and then learn a flame-controlling technique for alchemy and you are good to start.

But is it so easy to learn intent? So alchemists are pretty rare and fewer in number compared to cultivators.

Next, it was the turn of the members of the Heavenly Sword Sect, but before one of them could step forward the man spoke.

"You lot can also participate," he said to the Beast Men.

"What?" One of them asked reflectively.

It was known in the Mortal Emperor Realm that beast men had no talent for alchemy unless they followed the slow and long route to master fire intent.

Because of this, the beast men had no hopes of getting the alchemy inheritance, even their elders told them not to bother with it before they entered the secret realm.

The man saw their confusion and smiled, "Actually, it is an error in the knowledge that beast men are unable to have any special talent or physique for the alchemy dao."

"In fact, beyond this realm, I have seen many instances of beast men who were blessed with a great talent for alchemy. And their excellent senses which were a perk of their race gave them an advantage over other Alchemists."

This was news to them, and they had never imagined that their worldviews would be overturned by what this man considered to be simple knowledge.

This showed them how ignorant they and their ancestors have been. And it had stirred up their hearts to be curious of the world beyond the Mortal Emperor Realm.

Only Arthur faked a surprised reaction so as not to give off the fact that he already knew about something like this.

Due to trying to be cautious, he was staying low-key.

With the man's encouragement, the beast men walked forward one by one and took the test, and to their pleasant surprise, some of them lit up the orb a little bit.

This made their hearts to be filled with joy, as even though it was just a little, this proved that the man's words were true.

'We truly are frogs at the bottom of the well,' some shook their head and mocked their ignorance and that of their ancestors.

There was even one of the beast men who lit the orb more than anyone else so far, making the members of the Fire Spirit Sect shocked.

Ava felt that her horizons had been widened and reminded herself to not always look at things strictly from the view of her elders as there could be more to things than what was told to her.

Mark was fairly neutral in all this as since the beginning all that filled his head was getting the hell out of here with the spiritual medicine that can cure his sister as soon as possible.

"Next!"

It was finally the turn of the members of the Heavenly Sword Sect and Mark was the first to step forward as he got a bit tired of waiting.

'Let's get this over with,' he thought as he placed his hand on the orb and then...

'No reaction?'

The orb did not even reveal a spec of light and although Mark did not care too much about the results he was a bit unhappy.

But he shook his head and stepped back accepting that he had the worst talent here.

One by one they all took their test but no one was able to make the man give a nod of approval, and soon only four people were left.

They were Arthur and the three members of the Alchemy Association.

"Let me go next!"

The male alchemist disciple said with impatience in his tone and stepped forward.
