Because he had spent most of his time on martial arts cultivation, divine cultivation naturally slowed down.
"Great Grandmaster..."
The expressions of several Diviner Ancestors changed repeatedly, filled with unexplained awe.
However, they also understood that this fight was not going to happen, the Young Prince was just seeking to pay respect to the mountain and meet the Divine Children. Truly laying hands on them was out of the question.
But soon, the expressions of several Diviner Ancestors changed once again.
Because a surge of aura, even more powerful than that of a Great Grandmaster's martial dao will, burst forth; so immense that, from a great distance, one might catch a glimpse of that terrifying Shen Yuan Golden Elixir!
"Divine Element True Person?!"
It was at this moment that the Diviner Ancestors from the noble families truly understood the Young Prince's purpose.
He wanted to probe the foundation of the Divine Sect in Golden Light Prefecture!
The Divine Sect still had a Divine Element True Person hidden within Golden Light Prefecture!
This was beyond anyone's expectation.
For a time, a chill rose throughout the bodies of the elders.

Cliffs Edge Treasure Tower.
Qintian Observatory.
Inside the examination room.
Li Che's gaze rested on the white-robed figure and the child beside them.
A familiar feeling came over him, quite suddenly.@@novelbin@@
Sleeve Crossbow, Thousand Spider Threads...
Li Che shook his sleeve slightly; the Sleeve Crossbow and Thousand Spider Threads hidden within it felt a tad hot to handle at this moment.
However, Li Che's expression changed slightly.
The Thunder Chess Piece left on Xi Xi immediately sensed the incident occurring atop Golden Light Peak.
Li Che said with a warm smile.
The young boy, Tang Ren, had his eyes light up: "Could it be Grandpa Tang Sanjia?"
Li Che nodded, and immediately, the little boy hopped up with excitement, almost running over to tug on Li Che's sleeve, eager to have him bring him to meet the Master of the Divine Carving Ridge, Tang Sanjia.
"Tang Ren, do not be impetuous, Master Li is about to prepare for the Second-Class Guest Official examination."
Lu Yao said sternly.
Little Tang Ren immediately let go of Li Che's sleeve and stood to the side, earnestly, but his eyes still held a fervent eagerness akin to meeting a fellow countryman.
Li Che smiled and turned to the examiner, Lu Yao.
Lu Yao nodded his head, and the examination room suddenly fell silent.
"Li Che, from Fei Lei City, has been involved in wood carving for over four years, entered Golden Light Prefecture City Imperial Observatory last year, passed the Third-class Guest Official examination, and became a Third-class Guest Elder of the Qintian Observatory."
"In the second year, initiated the Second-Class Guest Official examination; if it is not passed this time, it cannot be initiated again within three years."

Lu Yao said in a solemn voice.
HIs somber tone echoed within the examination room.
"The Second-Class Guest Official examination will be presided over by Lu Yao, Vice Director of Daocheng Imperial Observatory; all records are documented, and any objections can be appealed to the Capital Divine Heaven Bureau."
As the examination commenced, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.
In the distance, Shangguan Qinghong and Gong Yunli huddled together; the two had brought little chairs and were sitting in a corner, one cracking seeds and the other eating snacks, excitedly and expectantly watching Li Che's examination.
The Second-Class Guest Official examination was certainly not as simple as the Third-class Guest Official one.
Gong Yunli didn't really think highly of Li Che's chance since it had only been a year, but completing the accumulation of merit within a year was not entirely impossible.
Lu Yao nodded his head and slowly wrote in the record: "Of clear origins, within the year at the Prefecture City Qintian Observatory, undertook missions diligently and earnestly."
"Now, about to initiate the Second-Class Guest Official examination."
"The Second-Class Guest Official examination is divided into three aspects."
"They are cultivation, proficiency in Divine Carving Techniques, and practical skill level in wood carving."
Lu Yao looked towards Li Che and said solemnly.
"Firstly, for the cultivation examination, to become a Second-Class Guest Elder, one's qi and blood cultivation must reach the Meridian Connection Realm, and divine cultivation must cast the Divine Foundation."
