The hours unfolded silently on the underworld planet called Heavenly Black Earth. On its immense and almost entirely rocky surface, about ten billion young cultivators from all corners of the underworld gathered to pass the first entrance test to the Elemental Condensation World.
Alm and Bruno meditated in silence; in that place, earth and Yin were abundant, allowing them to easily sense a vast area around them. They soon concluded that everyone there was at the ninth level of the Heaven Stage Realm. That place harbored the greatest concentration of geniuses and disciples with a beastly lineage from the underworld.
There were no weak cultivators there. Their bloodlines were dense, and their cultivations were stable and powerful. Moreover, the overwhelming majority were hybrids. Unsurprisingly, they detected a dozen subtle human bloodlines among them, but everyone possessed a beastly lineage.
