1: New Recruitment Conference

Central Origin Continent.

East Wasteland, Limitless Sect, Mountain Gate Square.

The Sect Square was bustling with people, young men from all over flocked, all hoping to join the Limitless Sect, one of the Twelve Heavens.

On the high platform in the center of the square, eight Peak Lords of the Limitless Sect stood.

These eight people were either middle-aged individuals with weathered faces or old men with an Immortal-like demeanor.

Beside these nine people, a handsome young man named Qin Tian, about eighteen years old, dressed in a tattered Daoist robe, appeared particularly out of place. Qin Tian's hair was disheveled, his eyes unfocused, and his mouth slightly downturned, carrying a hint of laziness and indifference, with a few strands of hair dancing freely in the wind.

Peak Lord Cang Lan Tian of Azure Sky Peak, dressed in a luxurious Daoist robe, spoke, "Qin Tian, if Piao Miao Peak still fails to recruit new Disciples today, according to the Sect rules, this current lineage of Piao Miao Peak can be disbanded. Even if your Revered Master returns, he will have nothing to say."

The other Peak Lords also turned their gaze towards Qin Tian. Although Qin Tian's strength was low, Piao Miao Peak now had only him, so he was the only one who could handle the affairs of Piao Miao Peak, otherwise he would not be qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with the many Peak Lords.

The Limitless Sect has nine Peaks in total, and these nine Peaks together form the Limitless Heaven, which dominates one side. However, Piao Miao Peak has had few Disciples for many years, and its Legacy is almost cut off. Now, only the Peak Lord and Qin Tian remain.

The Peak Lord of Piao Miao Peak has been missing for several years, leaving only Qin Tian. This is undoubtedly a great waste of resources. As one of the nine main Peaks, such decline would be extremely detrimental to the Sect in the long run.

A main Peak should Cultivate outstanding Disciples for its Sect, but the only remaining Disciple, Qin Tian, has performed mediocrely. He is currently only in the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation, and his strength is only in the middle-to-lower ranks among many contemporary Disciples.

Qin Tian's originally unfocused eyes suddenly became sharp. Now that his Revered Master was away, Piao Miao Peak was his home; how could he possibly hand it over?

"Peak Lord Cang, my Revered Master is not here right now, it's really difficult for this Disciple to make a decision." Qin Tian did not intend to respond. These people dared not make things difficult for his Revered Master, but they would only trouble him, a Junior Disciple.

"Your Revered Master hasn't returned for four years. As the Senior Brother of Piao Miao Peak, you can naturally make the decision." Azure Heaven continued, "I have already discussed this matter with the Sect Master. Now, Azure Sky Peak has many Disciples, and resources are tight. You are allowed to join Azure Sky Peak, and Piao Miao Peak will serve as a sub-Peak of Azure Sky Peak. You can still live on Piao Miao Peak."

Qin Tian's expression was solemn. This old man clearly wanted to occupy Piao Miao Peak, and it seemed the Sect Master had already tacitly agreed.

"Peak Lord Cang, the Sect rules do indeed state that a lineage will be canceled if the number of Disciples is less than ten, but the requirement is within five years. It has only been four years now, and the five-year period has not yet arrived."

"Don't worry, we will naturally give you this opportunity. If you cannot recruit ten Disciples today, then Piao Miao Peak will have no chance to recruit anyone in the coming year."

The Limitless Sect holds a new Disciple recruitment assembly once a year, which is an opportunity given to the world. The talent requirements are not strict; one only needs to reach second-grade to qualify.

If one wants to join the Limitless Sect on a normal day, they need to possess fourth-grade talent or above. Geniuses with fourth-grade talent are rare; it would be considered good if three to five people could be recruited in one recruitment assembly.

"How can you know the result without trying?" He would delay one day if he could. Once his Revered Master returned, he expected they would no longer dare to covet Piao Miao Peak.

As for recruiting people, he had never even considered it. In recent years, he had tried to recruit a few Disciples for Piao Miao Peak, but without exception, no one was willing to join Piao Miao Peak.

Azure Heaven chuckled lightly, "Then let you completely give up hope. The new Disciple recruitment assembly begins." If he hadn't been wary of Qin Tian's Revered Master, he would have forcibly occupied Piao Miao Peak long ago. But acting according to the Sect rules, what could his Revered Master do even if he returned?

"Today is the Limitless Sect's annual Disciple recruitment assembly. All those whose aptitude passes the test can enter our Limitless Sect." Azure Heaven's voice was calm, yet it clearly reached the ears of everyone in the square.

As one of the Twelve Heavens, the Limitless Sect covers several human Dynasties, with a total Mortal population exceeding one hundred million within its territory. As many as three hundred thousand young people came today, but less than one in a hundred met the requirements.

The path of Cultivation is a feast for the few. If a thousand people could be recruited today, it would be considered a huge gain, but in previous years, only a few hundred could be recruited.

Qin Tian looked up at the square, wondering if he could trick a few Disciples into coming back with him.

“Ding - Junior Brother and Junior Sister Strength Sum System activated. The quota is limited to nine people, requiring the qualifications of a Great Emperor.”

“Currently, there are no Junior Brothers or Junior Sisters, so strength remains unchanged.”

“Name: Zhou Mu”

“Age: 16”

“Talent: Unrated”

“Realm: Mortal”

“Life Resume: The only son of a wealthy merchant in Jiangcheng. For the first sixteen years, he lived a life of ease, a stubborn youth in Jiangcheng. Later, he saw an Immortal riding a sword, and yearned for it, so he came to the Limitless Sect to seek Immortal fate. However, his talent was poor, and he failed to enter the Limitless Sect. On his way back, he was robbed by bandits and died.”

“Evaluation: Unqualified”

Qin Tian stared at the glowing panel in front of him, his expression momentarily stunned. As a Transmigration from Blue Star, he was all too familiar with this kind of thing.

He casually glanced at a few other people and found that no one noticed his panel, so he immediately patted his chest.

The sum of strength, didn't that mean he wouldn't need to Cultivate in the future, as long as he had Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters?

But where could he find someone with the qualifications of a Great Emperor?

Such a figure, let alone the Limitless Sect, might not even exist in the entire East Wasteland.

Qin Tian's gaze shifted again.

“Name: Liu Guang”

“Age: 16”

“Talent: Unrated”

“Realm: Mortal”

“Life Resume: The son of a hunter a few hundred miles from the Limitless Sect. He followed his father hunting since childhood and learned a set of hunting methods. He went to the Limitless Sect to seek Immortal fate, failed, and returned to continue as a hunter, following his father's path.”

“Evaluation: Unqualified”

...

“Name: Chen Da”

“Age: 16”

“Talent: First-grade”

Qin Tian checked dozens of people in a row and found that without exception, all were unrated, not even a single second-grade. The highest was only first-grade. It seemed that the path of Cultivation was indeed difficult.

But Qin Tian did not stop. So many people came today; what if he could select one?

In the past, he knew his talent was mediocre, so he had given up. But now with the System accompanying him, why not use the power of his Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters to reach the Peak and pursue eternal life?

If he had nine Great Emperor Junior Sisters, wouldn't he directly possess the power of the Nine Emperors?

Wonderful, truly wonderful.

Qin Tian's gaze swept continuously, and suddenly the information on the panel almost made him exclaim.

“Name: Phoenix Moon”

“Age: 16”

“Talent: Emperor-level, not yet Awakened”

“Realm: Mortal”

“Life Resume: ...”

“Evaluation: Qualified”

Qin Tian was slightly stunned, his eyes radiating a fiery glow. Emperor-level, it was actually Emperor-level. Talents are divided into nine grades, and above the nine grades are Heavenly God, Saint, and Emperor. Emperor-level is already the limit of human cognition.

Such talent is rare, appearing only once in ten thousand years.

Great Emperors have long Lifespans, up to one hundred thousand years. In all these years on the Central Origin Continent, only a mere nine have appeared.

Why hasn't the life resume appeared yet? Qin Tian saw that the panel information was still loading.

Could it be that Emperor-level talent is too astonishing?

Just as Qin Tian looked at Phoenix Moon, Phoenix Moon also looked at Qin Tian.

"Senior Brother Qin Tian?"

The moment Phoenix Moon saw Qin Tian, she suddenly recalled a memory from the future.
