The unprecedented talent

It's the next day at the tower of ascension, everyone is gathered for the test of talent in their various fields, great elders from renown sects came to scout young talents for their respective sects as well as not so influential sects came, amongst them was the Oba sect, the most mysterious of them all.

The test has a set rule and the rule is each sect has to choose only 1 child to take in and train but since the turn up of youngins this year was massive leading to various fields opening and leaving spaces to fill they were allowed to take in 5 youngins as they were 20 sects that came that day and 8 were cultivation sects, 7 were magic sects and 5 were alchemy academy.

{INSTRUCTOR}

"We may commence with the talent affinity test, please note that everything will proceed in a group of 10, the 100 of you lots must be eager to know how far you can go in your various fields so please follow the instructions given to you by the examiners. Now we may begin".

They all tested and some had high affinity, some with moderate and some with low affinity, the instructor started explaining to the young ones each stage in their journey, he started for those in martial arts field saying they have *11 stages of cultivation realm* viz:

1)Martial spirit realm

2)Body purification realm

3)Bone refining realm

4) True yin yang realm

5)Martial king realm

6)Martial emperor realm

7) Ancestral emperor realm

8) Great Emperor realm

9) open celestial realm

10) celestial realm

11) Great Celestial emperor

The greatest Cultivator who seeked the peak of the great martial dao lived for 2100yrs before he died, he was known as the MARTIAL KING. His name was Ogun-Ayo. He was a great martial artist but still could not attain the peak of the martial dao for he couldn't get past GREAT EMPEROR REALM. He was the only martial artist to reach the great emperor realm. The two realms ahead of it is the realm of the gods, the open celestial realm and celestial realm. Then there is the Great celestial realm in which the gods could not break through to likewise no one has ever seen a human at the open celestial realm or a god at great celestial realm but each realm has a total of 7 doors or stages to pass through to break to the next realm.

{The gods do not cultivate, they are born with their cultivation realm but they can try to increase their realms with certain treasure or procedures and they do not and cannot possess magic. They are born with divine powers, said to be stronger than magic powers which are only exclusive to the humans but Cultivation can be used by both gods and humans, Although Shango is an exception because of circumstances, his true cultivation will show as he keeps culvating and unlocking his powers}

And then he moved on to the magic field saying:

"The magic field has 8 stages for humans as they can never contain the mana of the 9th circle, attempting so would be immediate death" although magic is exclusive to only humans, no one has made it to the 9th circle and the only one to make it to the 8th circle was Ogun-Ayo's friend, Daye, he was the only one who got to that stage and one of the contributors to the secret realm. These are the levels:

1) 1st mana circle

2) 2nd mana circle

3) 3rd mana circle

4) 4thmana circle

5) 5th mana circle

6) 6th mana circle

7) 7th mana circle

8) 8th mana circle

9) 9th mana circle

And then for alchemist which have 11 stages to attain the great tao

1) initial pill stage

2) pill apprentice

3) yin yang pill stage

4) pill master

5) great pill Master

6) pill king

7) great pill king

8) pill ancestor

9) great pill ancestor

10) Pill grandmaster

11) pill emperor

And just like other fields, humans have only be able to reach the pill grandmaster stage, although it is also very hard to attain. Grandmaster Uche Okafor was at pill grandmaster stage and lived for 2000 yrs, he also was one out of the three makers of the secret realm. The instructor then explained how martial artists and alchemists expand their lifespan each stage they are able to cultivate to and then for magicians slow down time for their aging but it's not very effective. Only those who reach 8th mana circle can get enlightenment and use mana to prolong their lives.

And so the test was carried out, the renowned sect elders being impatient started scouting every genius the moment they carried out their test and so the great sects already chose 5 youngins before they knew it, including the life long taunters of Shango, Jeffery and Uchennda (two of the taunters) were picked by Abiodun sect which is the number one sect of the continent and while Abeni (3rd taunter) who was a mage was picked by Sade magic tower which was the most power magic tower in the continent, and so were other sects going around recruiting talents and so it came for Shango to be tested, he was told to pour out aura into the spirit orb.

{Pouring aura does not require practice but controlling it does so it could be said that even children emit aura as infants but controlling aura indeed needs practice.}

After doing so, the spirit orb will show vine lines, how many it shows indicates your talent.

And so Shango poured aura into it and it broke as not only does he have a gift for cultivating, Alchemy and magic, our Mc also possesses divine powers which were sealed and so the great sects understood he was an unimaginable child with an unprecedented talent which has never appeared so they seeked out to scout him but they already met the limit given, some attempted throwing away one person to take him in but Shango wouldn't want to rob others of their opportunity so he disagreed and personally went to Oba sect which hasn't picked any child and was not so influential and powerful so everyone thinks but he felt drawn to the sect, although he has no memory of who he truly is, his divine instincts seemed to always guide him and the Elder gladly accepted him and so it came to an end and everyone was to get ready to leave for the next 2 days, our Mc's journey is finally starting as he gazes up into the sky, thinking how far he would reach.
