Reverend Insanity

Chapter Six: The Path Ahead Will Be Remarkable

The empty aperture was exceptionally mystical. Although it resided within Fang Yuan's body, it did not share space with his internal organs. One could say it was infinitely vast, yet infinitely small.

Some referred to it as the Purple Mansion, others as the Flower Pool, but most called it the Primeval Sea Aperture.

The entire aperture was spherical, with a white light flowing on its surface—a membrane formed from the Hope Gu's previous explosion.

This light membrane sustained the aperture, preventing it from collapsing.

Within the aperture lay the Primeval Sea.

The sea was smooth as a mirror, a verdant green yet thick and viscous, gleaming with a metallic luster.

This was the condensed bronze primeval essence of a Rank One Gu Master, commonly known as the Bronze Sea.

The sea level reached only forty-four percent of the aperture's height, reflecting the limitations of C-grade talent.

Each drop of this sea was pure primeval essence, representing the condensation of Fang Yuan's vitality, symbolizing the life potential accumulated over his fifteen years.

Gu Masters use this primeval essence to activate Gu insects. From this moment on, Fang Yuan had officially stepped into the ranks of a Rank One Gu Master.

With the aperture opened, no more Hope Gu entered Fang Yuan's body.

Fang Yuan withdrew his consciousness, feeling the pressure ahead as solid as a wall, unable to advance further.

"Just like my previous life," he smiled lightly at the result.

"Can't you go any further?" the academy elder called out from across the river, clinging to a one-in-a-thousand hope.

Fang Yuan turned and walked back, answering with his actions.

The crowd of youths quickly realized what had happened.

A buzz erupted, voices rising in astonishment.

"What? Fang Yuan only took twenty-seven steps?"

"So he's just C-grade talent?!"

"Incredible, such a genius, and only C-grade?"

The crowd was in an uproar.

"Brother..." In the crowd, Gu Yue Fang Zheng looked up, shocked at his returning brother. He couldn't believe his eyes—his brother was only C-grade?

He had always believed his brother would be A-grade.

Not just him, but his uncle, aunt, and many in the clan thought so too.

But now, the result was this!

"Damn, just a C-grade!" The clan leader clenched his fists, letting out a deep sigh, disappointment evident.

The observing elders frowned, murmured, or sighed.

"Could there be an error in the test?"

"Impossible. This method is foolproof, and we've been watching closely. Cheating is nearly impossible."

"But how do we explain his previous behavior and talent?"

"Youths with higher primeval sea talent do show extraordinary traits like intelligence, comprehension, memory, strength, and agility. But conversely, these traits don't guarantee high talent. The test result is the ultimate proof."

"Sigh, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The Gu Yue clan is truly declining with each generation."
