Departure

"T..this this young man has probably already surpassed the early stage and perhaps is in the middle stage?"

The old man was confused as he scratched his head in embarrassment, he had clearly doubted this skinny youth in front of him a while ago...

"Y...you are allowed to take the trials, please sign your name with this ink.."

The old man presented wu yu with the piece of paper and ink as if he was some type of king..

"Mortals really do go crazy over anyone with power, truly laughable"

Wu yu picked up te black feather as he slowly dipped it into the ink.

Wu yu then grabbed the sheet of paper made out of weird materials and wrote his name onto it, even his calligraphy had a form of elegance and nobility to it.

As an immortal it would truly be a disgrace if he wrote in mortal chicken scratches..

..

After writing his name on the paper wu yu handed the paper to the old man who was acting like he had seen a god..

One couldn't blame him, after all every kid in the village was at least at the early houtian realm, to even reach the middle realm was something elders and older warriors in the village could achieve, yet a young man no older than 15 years old achieved that...

...

If the elderly man knew wu yu had only been cultivating for less than a year he would probably volunteer for his life to be reaped early...

..

Wu yu walked slowly and stood beside one of the youths, this youth was obese and overweight, had a head of messy hair, teary eyed and a snotty nose.

The fat kid seemed to be holding large amounts of tears back as he sniffed endlessly.

One could tell he didn't want to be up here.

Even though becoming an immortal sounded cool and all, there were many things one had to take into account, countless deaths and many other things which many kids couldn't accept at their age, just the thought of killing a bird would make them go nuts.

...

Wu yu stood there like a statue and closed his eyes, this small act of his truly made other people shocked because even after a while he hadn't made the slightest movement, it was as if he was as still as water..

...

No more youths decided to climb up onto the stage after seeing wu yu's showcase of his talent and power...

Wu yu and the tens of youths stood there and waited for the escort caravans to arrive the escort them...

...

"The escorts are here" one middle aged man shouted towards the group of children as he dashed towards the village entrance...

"Let's go, we are running out of time"

The elderly man which tested wu yu earlier seemed as if he had become a lot more lively as he led wu yu and the group of youths towards the carriages now stationed outside the village..

...

Wu yu and every other kid got on the carriages, some kids were unwilling to leave their homes and family's behind and decided to leave the van the last moment, which only earned them insults from everyone else...

After all who would give up the chance to become an immortal...

...

After the slight commotion many kids left the carriages, but few with stronger wills stayed behind, some were even excited at the thought of the outside world...

The carriages were surrounded by guards of the shin Wang empire and pulled by horses, the carriages were pulled across the long dirt path in front of the small village as wu yu sat in his seat and began to cultivate silently...
