3: Tianjiao

“Oh my god! It’s seven rays of light.”

“Just now, four rays of light caused many Peak Revered Masters to compete for them. These seven rays of light must mean he’s the first place in this test.”

“Not only first place this time, but I haven’t heard of anything like this in a hundred years. It’s probably the first in a thousand years.” Many Prodigies showed deep envy in their eyes. After all, this was a Seventh-Grade Talent.

Yan Lie slightly raised the corner of his mouth, as if he had expected all of this.

If he went to a Great Teaching or a Holy Land, his Seventh-Grade Talent might cause some surprise, but how could it compare to the shock it brought in this Cave Heaven?

Listening to the exclamations of the surrounding crowd, Yan Lie felt comfortable all over. It was not in vain that he had specially come here.

Showing off in front of people was his lifelong pursuit.

“Seventh-Grade Talent, it’s indeed not bad, but that’s all it is.” Phoenix Moon said in a flat tone.

In her previous life, she might have been surprised by this, but now that she had seen Prodigies with Divine-Grade, Saint-Grade, and even Emperor-Grade Talents, as well as figures with various miraculous Physiques, a mere Seventh-Grade Talent no longer caught her Dharma Eye.

Phoenix Moon glanced at Qin Tian, a hint of strangeness in her eyes. Qin Tian actually showed no surprise at all?

“This child should enter my Azure Sky Peak.” Azure Heaven said excitedly, completely forgetting what he had just said. What about distribution afterward? That was all fake.

Once a Seventh-Grade Talent Disciple joined Azure Sky Peak, he would definitely become the Sect Master in the future, and might even lead the Limitless Sect to a higher level, becoming a Great Teaching.

“Young man, are you willing to enter my Azure Sky Peak?” Azure Heaven asked directly.

“Azure Heaven, you just said it yourself, that the distribution would be done after the talent test was completed. Have you forgotten so quickly?” Lei Xing said discontentedly. Although Azure Heaven’s Aura was strong now, facing a Seventh-Grade Prodigy, even the Sect Master would have to fight for him here.

“Boom!” A one-meter-wide golden Dao path descended from the mountain peak in the sky, and an old man dressed in a gray Daoist robe, with white hair and beard, and a complete Immortal Aura, walked over.

“Seventh-Grade Prodigy, not bad, not bad. It just so happens that this old man still lacks a closed-door Disciple. Young man, are you willing to join my Sect?”

“I…” Yan Lie was about to speak.

Azure Heaven immediately said, “Sect Head Senior Brother, we few just discussed and agreed that the distribution of this Disciple needs to be done after all Disciples have completed their tests.” Azure Heaven deliberately amplified his voice so that the hundreds of thousands of people present could hear.

Azure Heaven did not want such a good Immortal seedling to be gone just like that. If the Sect Master made a move, there would probably be no chance. While the talent test was still ongoing, there was still a chance to operate.

“Yes, yes.” Refining Peak Peak Revered Master Lei Xing also hurriedly said, “Sect Master, the rules that have been set cannot be broken.”

Hundred Flowers Peak Peak Revered Master Peak Lord Ye Yao and several other Peak Revered Masters also nodded in agreement. Sect Master Limitless Son’s mouth twitched slightly. These guys, Azure Heaven himself couldn’t help but speak just now.

However, as the Sect Head, now that it was widely known, he naturally needed to abide by the rules.

“Alright, then let’s wait until the test is over.”

The talent test continued, and several people with Third and Fourth-Grade Talents appeared, but unfortunately, there were no others above Fourth-Grade. Azure Heaven’s value was still very high.

“Next, Jun Aoshi.”

Jun Aoshi was dressed in a yellow python robe, with a tall and straight figure and an imposing Aura. His brows were like swords, exuding nobility. He walked with a Dragon-like stride, arriving in front of the talent stone in a few steps.

“It’s the Third Prince of the Junlin Dynasty, Jun Aoshi.”

“The Prince is here too. With the Third Prince’s status, he is enough to go to those Great Teachings, yet he came to the Limitless Sect.”

The Junlin Dynasty, though a secular Dynasty, also had Cultivators in its court, and its strength was only slightly weaker than that of Cave Heaven forces.

Jun Aoshi did not pay attention to the crowd’s words and directly placed his hand on the talent stone. The next moment, eight rays of rainbow light shot into the sky.

“Oh my god! It’s actually an Eighth-Grade Talent.”

“This would be considered a Genius even in a Holy Land, right? He actually came to the Limitless Sect.”

“Eighth-Grade, not bad, but unfortunately, it still doesn’t meet the System’s requirements.” Qin Tian said with a slight regret.

The bearing of an Emperor is rare throughout the ages.

Many young people felt that the person in front of them was like a True Dragon in the heavens, while they were destined to be ants in the mortal world. An Eighth-Grade Talent, the Limitless Sect would be lucky to produce one in a thousand years.

The Sect Master and the eight Great Peak Masters’ breathing became rapid. An Eighth-Grade Talent, as long as he didn’t die young, the Limitless Sect would surely prosper. Once one became his Revered Master, there would be an opportunity for the Revered Master to gain prestige through the Disciple in the future.

However, the agreement had just been made, and although everyone wanted to speak, they still held back.

Jun Aoshi walked to the side. Joining the Sect was already a foregone conclusion.

“Next, Phoenix Moon.”

Although everyone was eager, the talent test was not yet complete. But this time, it had already exceeded their expectations: one Seventh-Grade and one Eighth-Grade, both top-tier Geniuses.

Phoenix Moon walked out from the crowd. Although she was only sixteen years old, her body had already begun to develop. At just sixteen, she was cold and stunningly beautiful. Her black hair flowed down like a waterfall, and her skin was as white as snow. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her eyes resembled cold pools. She had a high nose bridge, vermilion lips, and a black dress that outlined her graceful figure.

Even though there were hundreds of thousands of people today, she still shone like a bright pearl. Yan Lie and the Third Prince Jun Aoshi all looked at her.

“This woman has an astonishing Aura. Is she another Heavenly Prodigy?” Several Peak Revered Masters looked serious. There had already been two Prodigies; could there be another one?

Phoenix Moon placed her palm on the talent stone. The next moment, two rays of rainbow light rose.

“Just a pretty face. Looking at her disdainful Aura, I thought she was an extraordinary Prodigy.”

“Exactly, why build up the atmosphere so much?” Many people, seeing this, also breathed a sigh of relief. If another Seventh or Eighth-Grade Prodigy appeared, they would truly have no way out.

Qin Tian thought to himself, “Second-Grade. It seems Phoenix Moon hasn’t activated her Phoenix Divine Body yet. In the previous life, she joined Piao Miao Peak. Is there still a chance this life? Piao Miao Peak has fewer resources and can’t compare to the other peaks.”

He would wait and see. If she didn’t join Piao Miao Peak, then he would have to take an unconventional approach. An Emperor-Grade talented Junior Sister was hard to come by.

“What a pity. This woman looks extraordinary, but her talent is only Second-Grade.” Azure Heaven shook his head, looking regretful.

“Her talent is insufficient, but her demeanor is outstanding. Though young, she has the bearing of a strong person.” Several Peak Revered Masters felt it was a pity. However, talent had nothing to do with personality or temperament.

“Next, Tang Xun.”

Although Phoenix Moon’s beauty was unparalleled, her talent was ordinary, and soon no one paid attention to her anymore. In the Eastern Wasteland, beauty was a good thing, but without enough strength, it might not necessarily be a good thing.

“Boom.” Another six rays of light rose.

A Sixth-Grade Talent. If it weren’t for two abnormal individuals appearing in this batch, he would have been the first in previous years.

But now, everyone was unperturbed.

Subsequent tests showed no one above Fourth-Grade.

“Talent detection complete. Those below Second-Grade, please leave on your own.”

The path of cultivation was like this. Without talent, one could not even step through the threshold. Most people, though born in the cultivation world, were merely spectators in life, only able to become an insignificant part of this wonderful world.

The talent test was complete. Sect Master Limitless Son said softly, “This Seat still needs a closed-door Disciple. Aoshi, are you willing?” His target just now was the Seventh-Grade Yan Lie, but now he had changed his mind; an Eighth-Grade was more suitable.

Jun Aoshi glanced indifferently at the several Peak Revered Masters. The Peak Revered Masters had already secretly sent him voice transmissions, promising many things.

However, becoming the Sect Master’s Disciple would make his goal easier to achieve. “Replying to Sect Master, Disciple is willing.” Jun Aoshi agreed directly.

“What a pity.” Azure Heaven thought to himself. He had already sent a voice transmission in advance, promising Jun Aoshi the position of Piao Miao Peak’s Peak Son if he was willing to come.

Refining Peak Peak Revered Master Lei Xing also shook his head with a look of regret. He probably wouldn’t have the chance to encounter such a Genius in this lifetime.

“Fortunately, I had a backup plan.” Azure Heaven thought to himself, “He had just sent voice transmissions to both Jun Aoshi and Yan Lie, promising them the Peak Son position if they were willing to join.”

“Yan Lie, are you willing to join Azure Sky Peak?”

“Yan Lie, are you willing to join Refining Peak? You can choose any Magic Treasure or weapon you want.”

Several Peak Revered Masters looked at Yan Lie, extending olive branches.

Yan Lie smiled slightly. Although Jun Aoshi had appeared and stolen his thunder, he was still the center of attention.

“Disciple is willing to join Hundred Flowers Peak. May I ask if Peak Revered Master Ye would permit it?” Yan Lie took the initiative to speak.

What better place to show off in front of people than Hundred Flowers Peak?
