All the Feng family elders were staring at the stone pillar with shock on their faces. Disbelief could be seen hanging on their faces, too, but despite all these expressions on his handsome face. He continued looking at the stone pillar for an extended period
'Though I expected a miracle from Li, this result isn't what I had expected. But still, I would have been shocked if his performance was not as incredible as this.' Feng Tian thought out loud in his mind.
Feng Tian, the Feng family patriarch, had also participated in the talent measuring ceremony when he was five years of age. Back then, he was the most talented junior of the Feng family. With his incredible talent, he managed to light the red stone, which had not been lit in hundreds of years, in the Feng family. As per the records of the Feng family, the stone above the red stone was the orange stone, which was only thought to be a legendary one. Lighting the orange stone means that one has an unfathomable level of talent. Only one person had managed to light the orange stone, which had occurred more than ten thousand years ago. This was a long period, and many people did not truly trust this legend.
"Grand elder, what did you just say..." One of the Feng family elders couldn't hold his calm anymore and asked the grand elder of the Feng family.
"The records of our Feng family hold that there are five stone pillars on the stone array that could be lit to estimate the level of talent ability our Feng family possesses." The grand elder of the Feng family slowly explained.
"Exactly, that is what all of us have read and been taught since we were of tender age." The elder who asked about the grand elder's remarks said.
"Well, that was not the full record about the stone pillar." The grand elder of the Feng family said indifferently.
"The full records of the stone pillar manual are in the hands of the Feng family patriarch. Only I and the patriarch are prévue to that information. The original information entails that the stone pillar is made up of six stone layers but not five." The grand elder added
"Six stone layers, how is that even possible...how can we not see that last layer on the stone pillar?" One of the elders asked in a confused manner.
"What the grand elder said is nothing but the truth of what has been recorded. Only that non of us has ever experienced an extremely talented person that is able to trigger the legendary God stone. 'The light shield will shatter and a purple light will bloom' that was what was described in the stone pillar manual bestowed by our Feng family ancestor.
"The shield will shatter and a purple light will bloom..." The Yang family patriarch repeated the words describing the sixth stone layer formation. "Truly a legendary figure was born in front of this old man's eyes." A happy smile resting on the Yang family's patriarch could be seen at this moment.
"You praise us so much, old Yang." The Feng Family patriarch said with a smile that was rarely seen on him
"Ha ha ha ha ha...old Feng, how can you still be this calm when your only son has created a legend in front of everyone? He has proved that he can not shame his father's prestige.
"Yeah...he has proved his family's prestige..." Feng Tian said while in deep thought.
The news about the talent measuring ceremony in the Feng family had spread widely throughout Emerald City like a tsunami. Many people around the city were talking about Feng Li's performance.
"Have you guys heard about the results from the Feng family talent measuring ceremony?" A group of young men were sitting inside a small market place were busy discussing about the current hot news in Emerald City.
"We were not allowed to enter the Feng family mansion at that time. They said we did not have the qualifications to enter the Feng Family." A small boy seated in the middle of the youths said with a dejected expression on his face.
"Well, you people should be glad because my father is a merchant in Emerald City, and he got the qualification to enter the Feng family, so he gave me one of the spots to enter." One youth who had put on an elegant robe said proudly, with a smile on his face.
"Well, tell us what had happened..." One of the youths said anxiously.
"Many of the youngsters had appeared for the talent measuring ceremony. The first one to undergo the test was a little girl. She was so beautiful...so beautiful. Everyone in the martial hall did not expect that she could produce a result." The elegant-looking boy said.
"Did she light the yellow stone...or was it the blue stone instead?" One of the youth couldn't wait but asked.
Yellow stone...blue stone... stop guessing and listen, or I will stop at once." The elegant youth said jokingly. "Actually she lit the red stone." The youth added slowly. "But that was not the most amazing results, for the Feng family young master had lit an unknown purple stone above the legendary orange stone. He truly is a heavenly bestowed genius to the Feng family.
"Purple stone...does that even exist..."
"Well, that was what had happened."
