Exile (1)
About fifty years ago.
"Master, please do not leave your servant..." a heavily modified Servant Puppet said.
The owner remained quiet. As if the Servant Puppet did not make a noise at all, the Elder continue with what he's doing.
Half an hour later, the Elder turned around and made his way to the Servant Puppet. The modification on the Servant Puppet allows the Elder to plants seven stones engraved with a different formation inside.
Other than that, there's an additional opening for a much bigger stone, where the elder inserted four Grand Master Qi Weaving Stones to act as consumable power to activates any of the seven engraved stones.
"From today onwards, you will be the Test Puppet to select the potential disciples. Make sure you complete your task impartially. There are seven Formation Stones inside your body, Two for Physical Test, two for Mind Test, two for Knowledge Test, and one for Bloodline Test."
"Unless required, protect the Seven Heaven Sect from any threats, and make sure all of those that manage to pass are well protected, educated, and groomed."
"I am too old... I might die after I finished what I'm trying to say, so, in the future, you're my representative. Do your best and make me proud, understand?" the Elder grabbed the shoulder of the Servant Puppet as he speaks.
"Xuanzhi understands." the Servant Puppet, that will be known as Test Puppet to the management members of the Seven Heaven Sect replied. The moment the equipment is attached to its body, the Test Puppet is now capable of activating any formation as long as the engraving is prepared earlier.
"Master, can Xuanzhi ask a ridiculous question?" the Test Puppet feels that there's a question he must clarify. Because the Spirit's staying within the complete Servant Puppet possess greater freedom and intelligence, it can think on its own.
"Go ahead." the Elder said.
"Xuanzhi wants to know what will it takes to destroy Xuanzhi. This way, Xuanzhi can take note of everything that can threaten his existence." the Test Puppet asked.
"Hmm... That's a good question. I've purposely modified your body structure to be stronger against impact. But your weaknesses are in Bloodline Attack." the Elder explained.
"Bloodline?" Xuanzhi, the Test Puppet, cannot believe what he'd heard.
"Yes. Battle Type Bloodline is the worst enemy you'll encounter. Or better to say Special Providence." the elder took a breath before he continued.
"Special Providence, but from what Xuanzhi understands, people born with Special Providence are one in a million cultivators. Not to say the number of cultivators is short in our world." the Test Puppet took the chance to interrupt.
"You're correct. And this is the reason I made the structure of your body capable of withstanding the power from anything except Battle Type Bloodline. This way, I'm confident that you can last at least until the Seven Heaven Sect becomes the top within our Middle South State." the Elder added.
"Then, if the person with Battle Type Bloodline ever exists inside of our Seven Heaven Sect, does that means I will be destroyed?" Xuanzhi wasn't worried about his demise, but in fact, he can't wait to see such a person earlier.
"If that person existed, then you'll be given another chance of freedom. Within the Servant Puppet, I engraved a Freedom Formation deep within the Slave Formation, where if you're destroyed, you'll be given another chance of freedom." the Elder replied.
"Master!" Xuanzhi kneeled before his master our of respect.
"Xuanzhi. You're clever but reckless. I hope you take my advice deep into your heart." the elder turned his head left right as he speaks.
"Xuanzhi will make sure to remember master's word." the Test Puppet replied.
"If you ever meet with such an individual in the future, deal with him and follow him. Only such a person can fulfill your dying wishes before you become a spirit." the Elder said.
"Master... Doesn't that means I will enslave myself to another person?" the Test Puppet replied with what he understands.
"Silly. Only those with Special Providence are worthy. Do you think such a person will remain as a nameless character like myself?" the elder knocked Xuanzhi's due to his foolishness.
"Master, you're one of the Middle South State's Three Kings. You're not a nameless character." Xuanzhi replied. His stares focused on the jade nameplate on his master's waist, with words written.
[Middle South State
Seventh Heaven King
Bai Chen Gang]
"And to reach this stage, I spent my entire life. Even staying here talking with you made me suffers." the elder said,
"Master, Xuanzhi will make sure to act impartially against everyone, and protect the seedlings that Seven Heaven Sect nurtures." the Test Puppet replied, but he never get a reply back.
This day becomes the day celebrated every year as;
Ancestral Worshipping Day.

"He's not a genius! He's a destroyer!" the seven Mountain Elders complained and took part to protect the entire Fifth Heaven Mountain from destruction.
What happened is inevitable.
Because the size of Fifth Heaven Mountain is the smallest among the seven mountains, supporting pillars has to be erected. The work turned to be accessible when Formation Engravings and Celestial Tools were used alongside during the construction period.
But none of them ever imagined before, that due to the existence of a talented disciple within their sect, the entire extension of their Fifth Heaven Mountain will crumbles.
The Tyrant Martial Body's Oppression destroyed the Test Puppet. Due to the weakness of Xuanzhi against the Bloodline power, the oppression power becomes like intense flame melting the ice in seconds.
Nothing remained intact the moment Zhang Wu Ji's bloodline power destroys the Test Puppet. Only the core with four pieces of Grand Master Qi Weaving Stones remained.
But this core itself was half damage as well, mainly caused by the force of destruction. With the central pillar that supports all the foundation in Fifth Heaven Mountain crumbles, the buildings all over the slopes begin to fall apart.
This destruction caused the Heaven King to make his appearance, but even an Inner Qi King was unable to turn around this crumbling force of nature. Luckily, people staying in the Fifth Heaven Mountain aren't regular peasants but cultivators, making the casualties remained as a Zero.
"How can a test escalated into the destruction of the Fifth Heaven Mountain?" everyone questioned themselves, but none of them are capable of answering it.
How long has this Test Puppet handles the examination for those potential candidates to enter the Fifth Heaven Mountain? What possibly can happen to a disciple in his Inner Qi Warrior Strength that destroys a Test Puppet made by their previous Sect Patriarch, Bai Chen Gang?
The Heaven King and other Lord Cultivators tried their best to control the situation but to no avail. The destruction continues until there's only six building remained.
The Elder's Hall, Fifth Heaven Library, Blacksmithing Hall, Pill Hall, Mission Hall, and Material Hall. Everything else included residence, houses, factories, and the building belonged to two prominent families is destroyed.
"Zhang Wu Ji!" a group of cultivators attacked. They're from one of the families based in this Fifth Heaven Mountain, the Ming Formation Family. This family is also the one that supplies Empty Formation Plates to him and the entire Seven Heaven Sect.
Ming Yi, the one rushes forward raised his hand to attack. Because Zhang Wu Ji's action this time is too destructive, not a single person rushes to protect him from an attack of an Inner Qi Soldier.
"Early stage Inner Qi Soldier... My two Obsidian Serpent Warriors will be enough to face my attacker." Zhang Wu Ji waved his hand and summoned the two Obsidian Serpent Warriors. Both of them are now Half-Step Inner Qi Soldier and expected to breakthrough soon.
"That's our Second Heaven Mountain's protector, Obsidian Serpent Warrior!" Second Mountain Elder said.
"Ming Family Long Fist! Aargh!" Ming Yi attacked, but his insignificant strength failed to injure the two Wild Beast. In contrary, Ming Yi is captured by their tails so the Master can give his judgment on this human.
The others from the Ming Formation Family did not hesitate. More and more attacked, but Zhang Wu Ji retaliates by summoning a few hundreds of the older Silver Carapace Bees to protect him.
Afraid that the other family, Long Formation Family will take their action as well, Zhang Wu Ji summoned the two Scarlet Berserker Crows and Jadehorn Fire Bulls out to protect him.
"How many Wild Beast and Strong Beast in his hand? This strength alone is enough for him to went berserk during the South VS East battle!" Sixth Mountain Elder said.
"Sixth, don't forget that this kid also possessed a Celestial Tool designed by the Yang Family. Are you sure you're counting thing correctly?" Seventh Mountain Elder added.
"I heard from Master Jiang Lei, this kid is capable of memorizing an entire blueprint and modified them to perfection. This is also how our First Heaven Mountain started to produce Metal Puppets," the First Mountain Elder added.
"He sold quite an amount of Blood Nourishing Pills to the Material Hall in the Second Heaven Mountain. I hate to say that we depend on him, but his Advance Blood Nourishing Pill was highly sought after." the Second Mountain Elder added.
"Zhang Wu Ji, we'll make you pay for destroying the Long Family Residence!" attackers come from the party his worried about. Although he did not know what motivates them except making him pay the damage he caused.
"The Long Family attacked." one of the spectators said.
"They must be taking this chances to get rid of the threat to their youngest Long Yun and to their family. It is already troublesome to fight on equal against the Ming Family, and now with Zhang Wu Ji here too, the formation business is going to be interrupted." the others added.
"Zhang Wu Ji... If I bring you with me last time, will the results be different?" Bai Xue Xue whispered, but it was heard by Yang Qing. Even the second seat of Seventh Heaven Mountain feels jealous of Zhang Wu Ji.
But while everyone is busy with their thoughts, Zhang Wu Ji's fight against the Ming and Long Family getting much more exciting. Formation stones are activated to increase their battling power against their only opponent.
Unfortunately, Zhang Wu Ji wasn't a tiger made from paper. He possesses greater strength that they can ever imagine. The moment one of the skillful members from the Long Family managed to approach the youth, Zhang Wu Ji retaliates.
This might not be his first kill, but it's a first crippling moment.
His Qingyang Fortress Body combined with Pure Jadeskin Body generates the power unimaginably strong, and with the Scorching Vein Art in used, Zhang Wu Ji's every fist become a wrecking ball that crushes every inch of their bones.
He treated all of his opponents as a punching back, and the crippling did not stop. Although Zhang Wu Ji keeps getting injured, his intention is more to destroy all his opponent before they trampled him under their feet.
"Since I am doomed, I'll bring all of you with me!" this is what Zhang Wu Ji said in his mind.
The moment Inner Qi Masters participates in this battle, Zhang Wu Ji's losses in inevitable. Three strikes are all they needed to slaughters the Silver Carapace Bees he summoned, and also heavily injures the Obsidian Serpent Warriors, Scarlet Berserker Crows, Jadehorn Fire Bulls.
They try to take the chances to kill this youth, but before the Heaven King ordered them to stops, Zhang Wu Ji's remaining trump card pops out.
"Zhan Yu! Wreck them!" Zhang Wu Ji screamed out loud and used the two Crystal Cauldrons to push his opponent back. The Servant Puppets came out and attacked, but only managed to stopped one of them.
"Go die, youth!" another Inner Qi Masters attacked. But he was surprised by a single chamber weapon with its muzzle touching his chest.
"Surprise! Mo*her F*cker!" the upgraded Celestial Bombing Quiver was activated and sent this Master Cultivator to his maker on the spot. Like a gigantic steel ball discharged with excessive force, the power killed the cultivator in a blink of an eye.
"First Kill!" Zhang Wu Ji whispered, thinking about how the game he played will announce when he gets rid of his opponent.
"ALL OF YOU! STOP FIGHTING!" a surge of Heaven Qi pressed all targets from their freedom.
"ZHANG WU JI!"
"It may be an accident, but that doesn't allow you to kill a fellow member of the Seven Heaven Sect!"
"You're Exiled! Get lost from the Seven Heaven Sect before I change my view about this matter!" Heaven King shouts, with the seven Mountain Elders standing behind him.
