The beach square was eerily quiet in the early morning, and hundreds of people lined up in an orderly fashion, waiting to be heard. The group was neatly dressed, and a heavy look crossed their brows. "Zhang Haolian."

A call of fame suddenly rang out, and the boy standing in front of Ji Jiayu instinctively shouted, "I am."

"Come in." Hearing this, the boy quickly ran to a white building not far away. With his figure disappearing, the door slowly closed.

Ji Jiayu, who was left with no one in front of him, couldn't help but clench his fists. The staff member in charge of maintaining order in front of him turned and looked him up and down. Although she had been observing him for a long time, she still couldn't help but sigh, "What a handsome boy!" Then, she revealed a complicated look, "What a pity..."

Ji Jiayu was about 1.7 meters tall, with a strong figure, bulging muscles supporting his short, pure-white sleeves. His exposed bronze skin glistened slightly in the sun, and his entire body was brimming with vitality.

He had short black hair, a sharp nose, an angular face, and clear, clean black and white eyes.

At first glance, he was undoubtedly a handsome young man in the sports department. However, he had an irregular red mark the size of a baby's palm on his forehead, like a coral growth on the skin. It was slightly raised and spread to his left eyebrow. If one didn't look closely, anyone would mistake it for a burn scar.

Thinking of Ji Jiayu's orphaned life, the staff already had a tragic story in their minds. Seeing his barely bleeding fist, the staff couldn't help but sigh lightly. Then, they smiled at him and said, "Don't be afraid. Even if you fail the exam, we will be responsible for you until the end. We won't let you live the life you used to live again."

When Ji Jiayu heard this, he gently unclenched his fist and looked at the woman in front of him, who was slightly plump and had freckles, about thirty years old. He said with a smile, "Thank you for your comfort. I'm not afraid anymore."

"You speak very sweetly." The staff was stunned for a moment when they heard this and then smiled so much that their eyes narrowed. However, they didn't realize that Ji Jiayu wasn't afraid at all.

Of course, he didn't need to be.

The squinting aunt, whose hands were tied behind him with a gold rope, had tricked him into taking the test, but she had already arranged a package deal with him. If he failed the initial test, he wouldn't have to wash his hair for a year.

At first, Ji Jiayu thought she wasn't very reliable, but as he witnessed her demonstrate her extraordinary abilities time and time again, and her many subordinates showed admiration and respect for her, Ji Jiayu gradually understood her status and abilities and then believed her words.

He had clenched his fists just now only because he was excited, at most a little nervous; after all, it was a big deal. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but clench his fists again.

"Alas, no matter how handsome you are, you're still young after all, and you like to act tough and strong." When the staff saw this, they thought.

However, the more Ji Jiayu was like this, the more she felt sorry for him, so she continued to console him, "If you can be selected to come to Paradise Island, it means the chances of you seeing the Sacred Emblem are very high. Really, don't worry too much."

"..."

Ji Jiayu was startled, and then quickly unclenched his fists, not daring to clench them again.

"Okay, miss."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the white building suddenly opened, and Zhang Haolian was carried out by a staff member, screaming bloodlessly as he walked, "Let go of me, I don't want to go to the orphan city!"

Hearing the shout, Ji Jiayu's expression remained unchanged, but the staff around him were a little embarrassed, and even a little afraid to look directly at him. They only glanced at him out of the corner of their eyes, and when they saw that he wasn't looking at them, they breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Ji Jiayu turned around and glanced at the other people waiting in line. They found that they were all silent, clearly frightened by Zhang Wulian's experience.

These people, like Ji Jiayu, were all orphans, and seeing that their only exit was currently blocked, they were naturally afraid.

"Ji Jiayu." Suddenly, a pleasant voice came from inside the white building. Ji Jiayu heard the shout, turned around slowly, and took a deep breath.

The staff looked at him and shook their fists at him, "Little one, let's go, let's go!"

Seeing his white fist, Ji Jiayu clenched his left fist and gently touched it, smiling, then walked resolutely towards the white building with a slightly stunned expression.

Their fists touched. Looking at Ji Jiayu's back, the staff member suddenly felt that this boy seemed different from the others.

After Ji Jiayu pushed open the door to the white building, he discovered a trail of footsteps, and at the end of the path stood a woman in a white, holy robe.

This woman was in her thirties, about 1.6 meters tall, curvaceous, with smooth skin, long black hair that reached her waist, displaying a mature manner in her movements. Her beautiful face, narrow, crescent-like eyes, added a hint of cunning and playfulness to her features. She wore a pair of golden crescent-shaped earrings on her earlobes, her hands behind her back, and her wrists tied together by a golden rope, which looked a little strange.

Her name was Chen Miaoyi, and she was the one who brought Ji Jiayu here from Blue Domain Guangming City.

When Chen Miaoyi saw Ji Jiayu, she narrowed her eyes and laughed, "Are you in a hurry? Come here, I'll test it for you now."

Upon hearing this, Ji Jiayu quickly walked to Chen Miaoyi's side, breathing slightly rapidly.

I saw a pillar with a thick elephant leg and half a man's height erected in his left hand, and a crystal staff with golden gems inlaid on top stood upright. The sunlight shone onto the staff through the hole in the dome, making it glow.

"This is the holy relic I mentioned earlier," Chen Miaoyi said, "In our Holy Kingdom, everyone can sense the holy emblem by touching the holy relic, which allows them to cultivate divine power. But your Blue Domain Human Race and our Light Clan have different physiques, and you must test it to see if you can cultivate divine power."

Ji Jiayu said with burning eyes, "If you cultivate divine power, can you possess the abilities you demonstrated?"

Chen Miaoyi smiled, "Yes, yes, but it takes time." She paused, and then said, "Quite a long time."

Ji Jiayu asked, "How long?"

"If it's fast, it's decades," Chen Miao said, "If it's slow, it's a lifetime."

Ji Jiayu was immediately stunned. He was only a teenager, and decades and the next lifetime were completely foreign words to him.

"Don't think so far ahead. Complete the test first." Chen Miao said, "Go ahead, just hold the sacred relic with both hands."

Ji Jiayu looked at the crystal scepter and took a deep breath, a little excited and nervous. Just as he was about to reach out to grasp the crystal scepter, he suddenly turned his head and asked, "Don't I need to know what the sacred relic looks like?"

"I'll help you identify it." Chen Miaoyi asked.

"Okay." Ji Jiayu didn't hesitate when he heard this, slowly shaking his hand toward the crystal scepter.

As he grasped the crystal scepter, a golden light burst out from the gem at the tip of the scepter, enveloping half of the small room.

Within the light, a mass of pure white light floated up and down.

Seeing the white light cluster, Chen Miaoyi smiled and said, "This is the Sacred Bone Emblem. You passed the test." As her words fell, Ji Jiayu was slightly delighted and immediately fixed his gaze on the white light cluster. At this moment, a white light suddenly emerged from the pure white light cluster, flickering and changing shape. Finally, it condensed into a bone.

Chen Miaoyi narrowed her eyes, opened them slightly, and said in surprise, "Sacred Bone Emblem, Twin Sacred Emblem! Your talent is better than I imagined."

"What are twin emblems?" Ji Jiayu asked, slightly puzzled.

Chen Miaoyi opened her mouth, and just as she was about to explain, a mass of light suddenly flew towards the pure white sacred bone, enveloping it in an instant. The two appeared to be one, but the sacred bone could faintly be seen again.

Chen Miaoyi was suddenly disappointed, and after a moment, she couldn't help but sigh lightly, "The phenomenon of sacred emblem entanglement."

Ji Jiayu raised his head and asked, "What is the sacred emblem entanglement, Sister Miaoyi?"

As he asked this, Ji Jiayu placed his hands behind his back, holding his right hand tightly with his left, his knuckles red.

He wasn't stupid; from Chen Miaoyi's emotional changes in just a few seconds, he sensed something was wrong. Chen Miaoyi sensed Ji Jiayu's emotions and wanted to explain, but hesitated for a moment and chose not to.

To Ji Jiayu, the phenomenon of the sacred emblem entanglement didn't matter; he only cared about the results. So, what kind of results would he bring her?

The Chenghai Sacred Light Clan's cultivation path was divided into two paths: those who could sense the Sacred Light Emblem were priests, those who could see the Sacred Bone Emblem were priests, and those who could sense the Twin Sacred Emblems could cultivate both.

However, if the Twin Sacred Emblems were entangled, it would greatly affect the cultivation results, and even cultivating one path might become difficult.

"The sacred bones are looming, the sacred light is extremely bright, and there shouldn't be any major problems in cultivating towards the priesthood."

After Chen Miaoyi carefully observed her for a few seconds, she suddenly smiled at Ji Jiayu and said, "I almost ruined my reputation for the rest of my life, but fortunately, your physique is competitive! Forget what I just said, you passed the test, and someone will take you to the selection camp later."

"Sigh..." Ji Jiayu released her hand and exhaled deeply.

Although he knew Chen Miaoyi was hiding something from him, as Chen Miaoyi thought, the results of his cultivation were important.

"Sister Miaoyi, thank you," Ji Jiayu said to Chen Miaoyi.

"No thanks, this is my job." Chen Miaoyi smiled and said, "It's you, come on. I can only give you a chance, but ultimately, whether you can accomplish your goal or not is entirely up to you."

After saying that, she lifted her chin to the right.

A woman in a white sacred robe immediately walked towards Ji Jiayu from the shadows and left her behind. "Come with me."

When Ji Jiayu heard this, he first glanced at Chen Miaoyi, then left with the woman in white. A few seconds later, the two walked out through a side door.

Behind the white building was a coconut grove, and beyond that was a small town. The town was quiet and unpopular.

Soon, the two arrived at the iron gate of a large courtyard in the north of the town. Inside the gate was a spacious lawn, and in the center was a small, three-story white building covered with large green plants. Two large trees were planted on the left and right sides of the courtyard. At this moment, nineteen students were gathered in the courtyard, some reading, some playing.

Upon seeing Ji Jiayu, they dropped what they were doing and revealed a look of astonishment, "Is this the last one?"

Ji Jiayu was observing the courtyard when a bell-like sound suddenly rang out from behind him.

The woman in white and Ji Jiayu were both startled when they heard the sound. They were both startled, and they subconsciously turned to look.

They saw an old woman in a purple robe bowing, her gaze slightly directed at the woman in white. The woman in white immediately showed respect and replied loudly, "Yes, He Zhu Ji."

Although they were very close, the voice of the old woman in the purple robe still sounded like a roar: "You're busy, just leave it to me."


"Okay, He Zhuji."

After the woman in white spoke loudly, she hurriedly turned and left, plucking her ears as she walked, clearly shaken.

As the woman in white left, He Yi bent down and approached Ji Jiayu. As her gaze drifted away, she noticed the scar on Ji Jiayu's forehead, but she didn't show any signs of surprise. Instead, she asked with a kind smile, "Little one, what's your name?"

The closer they got, the more oppressive her voice became.

Ji Jiayu was bombarded by the high-pitched tone, his heels slightly raised, and he subconsciously wanted to take two steps back. But then, a thought occurred to him, and he stopped again and replied loudly, "My name is Ji Jiayu."

Hearing Ji Jiayu's voice, He Yi was slightly taken aback, then smiled, "Was my voice too loud? Scared you?"

He put his hands behind his back and laughed, "No way. I injured my ears and throat in my early years, so my hearing is poor, and it's hard to control my volume. Little one, please be considerate and considerate of my old bones."

"Grandma, where are you talking about this!" Ji Jiayu said loudly.

"Hahaha, okay, Xiao Yu, then I'll call you Xiao Yu from now on. You can call me Grandma, and you can also call me Grandma He." He Yi smiled and touched Ji Jiayu's head, which was a little unaccustomed, but she didn't move her head.

Then, He Yi opened the iron door, walked into the courtyard, and shouted to the courtyard, "Little ones, come here. Grandma will officially teach you cultivation today."

"Cultivation!"

When Ji Jiayu heard this, a fire suddenly ignited in his heart.

After a month, he had come from the Blue Domain's Guangming City to the Chenghai Sacred Paradise Island, and he was finally going to begin cultivating!

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel excited.

As the nineteen companions gathered excitedly, Ji Jiayu turned to look in the direction he had come from, his black and white eyes gleaming with a strong light. His gaze seemed to traverse the sacred clear sea and the endless blue sea, reaching the city of light in the Blue Domain.

"Brother Fang, don’t worry, I will soon succeed in my cultivation and return to Guangming City. When the time comes, I will fulfill your will and do my best to illuminate the filthy darkness!"
