2: The Empress is back, she is my junior sister

In her previous life, she initially had mediocre talent, only reaching the second grade.

However, she actually possessed the Phoenix Divine Body. During an outdoor training experience, she was trapped in a raging fire, which surprisingly activated her Phoenix Body.

The Phoenix Body, what a terrifying special Physique! From then on, her Cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, progressing a thousand miles a day, and she became the Limitless Sect's number one Prodigy.

She even defeated the leaders of many forces in the East Desolate, ventured into the Central Plains, and became the strongest among the Ten Great Emperors of the Central Plains.

The Central Origin Continent is vast and boundless, with Prodigies as numerous as clouds, yet she was still able to reach the Peak.

But when she was about to ascend to the Immortal Realm, she suffered a severe injury, and the other nine Great Emperors mercilessly attacked her. She thought she would perish, but unexpectedly, she had a chance to start over.

She even returned to the time when she first entered the Limitless Sect?

Could this be another miraculous effect of the Phoenix Body?

Forget it, since Heaven has granted me this opportunity.

Now that I have Rebirth, I will undoubtedly reach the Peak again and slay those nine enemies with my sword.

【Ding - Transcendence System successfully bound.】

【This System aims to assist the host in transcending opponents to avenge a blood feud. Success offers a chance to ascend to the Immortal Realm.】

Looking at the panel before her, Phoenix Moon's heart remained unperturbed.

In her previous life, she managed to reach the highest position in a state of ignorance. In this life, she knows countless secrets and understands how to proceed, so her path to growth will undoubtedly be several times faster.

However, with the assistance of this unknown System, it might be even faster.

【The first transcendence target is Qin Tian. Requirement: Surpass Qin Tian in Cultivation within three months. Success will result in a reward, failure in a punishment.】

Surpass Qin Tian?

Phoenix Moon smiled faintly. Wasn't this System clearly giving her a free reward?

Qin Tian's talent was mediocre, and he was also a lazy person. She remembered that when she first entered the Sect in her previous life, Qin Tian was only at the Foundation Building Initial Stage. It wasn't until she became the Limitless Sect's top young Disciple that he barely Broke through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

Moreover, this person was extremely despicable. Before she Awakened her Phoenix Body, he often used his identity as a Senior Brother to privately withhold Cultivation resources that belonged to her. He unfortunately died tragically during an experience.

Before his death, he had accumulated quite a few Spirit Stones, but unfortunately, he was too stingy to spend them, dying without using them.

Furthermore, he repeatedly expressed his affection for her, but she rejected him every time. How could such a person be worthy of her?

Phoenix Moon held no hatred towards him, only viewing him as a minor interlude in her life's journey. She was the Phoenix Empress; how could she bother with an ant at the Foundation Establishment Stage?

She could simply ignore him.

【Life Resume Loaded: Phoenix Moon possesses the Phoenix Divine Body, born into the Phoenix Family, a Cultivation Family in Phoenix City. She joined the Limitless Sect. Before Awakening her Phoenix Divine Body, her talent was only second-grade. She 'unluckily' joined Piao Miao Peak, where her Cultivation resources were withheld by Piao Miao Peak's Senior Brother Qin Tian. Finally, during an outdoor experience, she was burned by a raging fire, Awakening her Phoenix Divine Body. From then on, the Phoenix underwent Nirvana, soaring high into the Nine Heavens.

【She became the Limitless Sect's number one Prodigy, defeated the Sect Masters of the Twelve Heavens, refused the Limitless Sect Master's offer to pass on his position, traveled through the East Desolate, becoming invincible there, and swept through the West Desert, Southern Ridge, and Northern Plains. Finally, she defeated the forty-nine Holy Lands and nine great Emperor Sects of the Central Plains, established the strongest Imperial Dynasty, the Phoenix Palace, and became the head of the Ten Great Emperors.】

【Later, while charging towards the Immortal Path, she suffered severe injuries and was besieged by nine Great Emperors. Now, she has returned through Rebirth.】

“Hiss.”

Qin Tian frowned deeply. It was actually an Emperor's Rebirth, and the strongest one at that.

The key was that in Phoenix Moon's lifetime, he was actually a fool who withheld resources.

No, this situation must be reversed. But can he still trick his way into Piao Miao Peak in this life?

Azure Heaven saw Qin Tian frown and thought he had already accepted his fate, so he waved his hand. “Begin the test.”

Three talent steles stood in front of the square.

Talent stones, though not rare, were only affordable for Sects.

“Xu Zhao, first-grade talent, unqualified.”

“Hu Ju, first-grade talent, unqualified.”

Over a hundred people went up, and their talents were all extremely ordinary; not a single one was qualified.

“It seems this year's standard is even worse than last year's,” the Beast Taming Peak Master said, shaking his head. “In the past ten years, very few Disciples above fifth-grade have appeared. If this continues, the Limitless Sect might Face a talent gap.”

“Yes, the Limitless Sect, if it continues like this, I fear it will gradually decline, fall out of the Twelve Heavens, and become a mere blessed land.”

The scarcity of Prodigies for many years had already caused a talent shortage in the Limitless Sect.

Lei Xing, the Refining Peak Master, waved his hand and said, “Don't rush. This time, the Limitless Sect has sent out a large number of Disciples to promote the Limitless Sect's recruitment in various places. I expect a few immortal seedlings will emerge.”

In the past, young people aged fourteen from various regions would come on their own to seek immortal opportunities.

But this year, the Limitless Sect sent out a large number of Disciples to promote recruitment everywhere, so it should be better than in previous years.

“Li Shengtian, fourth-grade talent, qualified, may enter the Limitless Sect.”

“Fourth-grade talent, truly enviable. Cultivating step by step, he will surely be an outstanding individual this year, and becoming a mid-level expert in the Limitless Sect in the future will not be a problem.”

“If only I also had fourth-grade talent.”

Many young people showed envy. One must know that even first-grade talent was one in a hundred.

Fourth-grade talent was even one in ten thousand.

The crowd began to stir, a fourth-grade talent gave them a lot of encouragement.

The Faces of the various Peak Masters finally brightened. Fourth-grade talent meant one could Cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage. The Nascent Soul Stage was already considered a high-level expert in the Limitless Sect.

【Cultivation Realms in the Central Origin Continent are divided into Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Transformation, Void Refining, Dao Integration, Mahayana, and Undergoing Tribulation, corresponding to ninth-grade talent respectively.】

Lei Xing, the Refining Peak Master, even praised, “Good, good. I hope a few more fourth-grade, or even fifth-grade, talents appear.” After praising, the Refining Peak Master's tone shifted, “This Li Shengtian has a robust Physique, he's suitable for my Refining Peak.”

“Nonsense! This child is clearly fated with my Beast Taming Peak.”

A fourth-grade Prodigy was enough for the various Peaks to contend for.

Qin Tian did not speak. Not only did he only have nine spots, but this Emperor's potential was also unqualified.

Fourth-grade talent was too bad, Qin Tian grumbled to himself, completely forgetting that he himself only had third-grade talent.

“Alright, stop arguing for now. We'll distribute them after the talent test is complete,” said the Hundred Flowers Peak Master, dressed in a brightly colored palace dress.

As soon as the Hundred Flowers Peak Master spoke, the other Peak Masters immediately quieted down.

“We'll follow Junior Sister Peak Lord Ye Yao's arrangements. Regardless of the talent level of the Disciples recruited today, they will all be allocated after the end; no one is allowed to contend for Disciples midway,” Azure Heaven said. Today, he was in charge of the recruitment fair, so it was only right for him to have the final say.

“Good.”

All the Peak Masters nodded in agreement. Azure Heaven's Aura was strong now, and he was very likely the next Sect Master candidate, so everyone was willing to give him Face and cooperate.

“Next, Yan Lie.”

The outer Elder responsible for testing talent called out loudly.

From the crowd, a young man wearing a fiery red robe with a Vermilion Bird pattern, sharp eyes, and robust Qi and blood stepped forward.

Qin Tian looked at Yan Lie.

【Name: Yan Lie】

【Age: 17】

【Talent: Seventh Grade】

【Realm: Qi Refining Late Stage】

【Life Resume: Born from the Blazing Fire Family, he began Cultivating the Family's fire-attribute Cultivation Technique at sixteen and has achieved Minor Achievement to date. Today, he passed the Limitless Sect's talent test and joined the Hundred Flowers Peak.】

【Evaluation: Unqualified】

It was actually seventh-grade. Seventh-grade talent was already enough to Breakthrough to the Dao Integration Stage. This had not appeared in the Limitless Sect for a hundred years.

Unfortunately, it still couldn't meet the System's requirements.

Qin Tian was a little disappointed.

Why would this guy join Hundred Flowers Peak?

A fire-attribute Cultivation Technique would be more suitable for the Five Elements Peak, or the Pill Refining Peak, or the Refining Peak, rather than the Hundred Flowers Peak, right?

Qin Tian roughly understood this life resume. It could display major past life events and also show recent actions.

Isn't this a cheat device?

Yan Lie cupped his hands towards the Elder, then placed his hand on the talent stone. The next moment, the talent stone emitted a brilliant light, and seven rainbow lights lit up.

“Seventh Grade.” Azure Heaven and the other Elders stared intently at the talent stone, which showed seven orange lights.
