The moment that they heard Elder Zhuan's words, everyone's attention was immediately focused on the white-robed, white veiled young woman who was standing next to Shun Long.
At the same time, Liu Mei turned her head to the side and stared at Shun Long solemnly for a moment, only to see him nod his head with a smile on his face.
Finally, the apprehension in Liu Mei's heart eased slightly, as she took a deep breath and slowly stepped forward.
From the very beginning, Liu Mei had been wary of this ball of fate the moment that their group entered the hall.
If this ball could really predict someone's fate, then Liu Mei who was already Shun Long's woman, and knew a few things about his past and present situation, had a connection with a living dragon and had also accepted an extremely high-grade cultivation technique from him, was definitely going to attract a lot of attention no matter what.
Het fate was definitely no longer simple.
However, she also understood that refusing to test her future through the ball of fate was only going to make people even more suspicious.
After all, the white-haired peak Dao King, Elder Zhuan, had clearly stated, that this wasn't a test but an opportunity.
At the same time, Xie Xingyi didn't say anything either, as she calmly stared at the white-veiled Liu Mei who was walking towards the crystal-like white ball next to the white-robed Elder. She already knew that Shun Long and Liu Mei had advanced from Heaven grade 'rookies' to early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators in a short period of 3 years.
To Xie Xingyi, just this alone was nothing short of a miracle!
At the same time, Xie Xingyi had also seen how Liu Mei's cultivation had advanced from the early rank 1 all the way to the middle of rank 3 of the Nascent Soul within a few days.
These things by themselves were certainly enough to cause a huge commotion during this test.
Even Sheng Huang who was considered an extreme genius in the Night star continent, had all the resources of the Shengtian dynasty available to him and had also consumed countless treasures and pills that aided him in his cultivation, took nearly 8 years to advance from the early rank 1 of the Spirit realm to his current stage.
Of course, this could also be related to his Dao of Destruction as well.
After all, the more 'unique' a Dao was, the more difficult and more time-consuming it would be to comprehend it thoroughly.
Even Xie Xingyi herself who had her 'Vanishing Shadows unique physique' and was extremely suited to comprehend the Dao of Shadows, took 6 years to advance from the early rank 1 of the Spirit realm to the peak of rank 3 of the Nascent Soul.
However, it was also obvious that Liu Mei's Dao of Death was definitely not inferior to her Dao of Shadows or Sheng Huang's Dao of Destruction.
Thus, Xie XIngyi had actually come to the conclusion, that from the people inside this hall, aside from the peak rank 1 Nascent Soul Shun Long, and perhaps the black-robed Jiang Chen, Liu Mei probably had the most extraordinary fate.
Of course, although the rest of the disciples inside the hall didn't know so many things about Liu Mei, everyone had already noticed her undead creatures during the third test, and were already curious about her 'fate'.
Seeing the white-robed Elder Zhuan nod amiably at her, Liu Mei closed her eyes for a moment, before she placed her lithe, pale white hand on top of the crystal ball of fate.
The moment that Liu Mei's hand touched the ball of fate, the crystal-like ball instantly lit up with a bright white light that quickly turned yellow. However, in what seemed to be the blink of an eye, the yellow light had already turned black, causing Elder Zhuan's heart to skip a beat.
This light wasn't just a dim black light, but one that could swallow everything around it, including all light itself.
And yet, just as Elder Zhuan was about to end Liu Mei's test, a small part of the darkness at the center of the ball of fate slowly receded, giving way to a bright colorful light, that seemed to contain every possible color inside it.
At that moment, a tiny crack appeared on the crystal ball's surface, causing Elder Zhuan who had already fallen in a trance to shout
''STOP!''
Hearing the white-robed Elder's voice, Liu Mei took a step back while retracting her hand at the same time, not continuing to test her fate any further.
However, the light on the ball of fate still remained there for a few more moments until it slowly disappeared, returning the crystal ball to its original appearance.
And yet, the tiny crack was still on the white ball's surface, like a small stain on a previously spotless jade.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the white ball of fate, before they turned their attention to the white-robed Elder Zhuan next to the crystal ball.
However, the white-robed Dao King didn't pay any attention to the disciples inside the hall, as a complicated look appeared on his face, almost as if he had just realized something.
At that moment, the ethereal voice of a woman resounded throughout the silent hall, as she said in a calm, uncaring tone
''Continue the test!''
Elder Zhuan's eyes quickly returned to normal the moment that he heard this voice, as he nodded his head and stared at Liu Mei for a few moments before he said in a thoughtful voice
''Your fate... is complicated... The only thing I can tell you is, that you will definitely have a chance to exceed the Dao King realm in the future.''
Everyone stared at Elder Zhuan curiously, but no one asked any questions as they saw Liu Mei bow to the white-robed Elder and return to Shun Long's side.
It was obvious that the white-robed Dao King didn't want to explain more things about Liu Mei's fate, and was ready to continue the rest of the test.
At the same time, in a seemingly isolated room, a group of Elders were staring at the white-robed Liu Mei in the screen of light in front of them, with a deep look in their eyes.
