OnlythosewhohadhighenoughtalentcouldenterSacredMountain.Ifheorshedoesnothave,thentheopenplacewouldbeinvalid.
Otherthanthis,ifthereweremorethansevenpeoplewhopassedthetest,thenSacredMountainwouldchooseonlysevendisciplesfromthosewhowerequalified.
“SuYu,cultivationlevelofRefiningtheVoidandFormingthePath.Metal,Earth,andWater,threeYuanQiattributeswhicharechaoticallyconflictingwitheachother.FineGradeTalent,butnotenoughtoenterSacredMountain!”
