318: Unbelievable results of spirit identification

A chill instantly surged up Yao Delong's tailbone!

"System!" He called out urgently in his mind without hesitation.

"Can you hide my true Spiritual Power Affinity value? Disguise it as... three points!"

[Ding! host's requirement detected. Consuming 10 yin-yang values,

the Spiritual Power Affinity detection result can be temporarily shielded and disguised. Duration: one hour. Confirm?]

"Confirm!" Yao Delong did not hesitate at all. 10 yin-yang values to trade for safety at this moment—it was worth it!

[Ding! 10 yin-yang values consumed. Current remaining yin-yang values: 285 points.

Spiritual Power Affinity disguise is now active: displaying as 3 points to the outside world.]

An imperceptible, strange ripple emanated from within Yao Delong's body,

instantly merging into the essence energy he was about to inject into the jade pillar.

He didn't feel anything special himself, but on the System panel,

a small character for 'Fake' quietly appeared behind the Spiritual Power Affinity entry.

"Phew..." Yao Delong's heart settled slightly, his worries gone. Majestic and pure Scorching Sun essence energy,

like a torrent of lava breaking through a dam, crashed into the Spirit Appraisal Jade Pillar!

Buzz—!!!

In an instant, the entire massive Spirit Appraisal Jade Pillar erupted with an unprecedented, blinding golden light!

The light was so intense that it seemed as if a small sun had exploded on the Dao Inquiry Platform, dyeing the surrounding sea of clouds gold!

Violent energy fluctuations swept outwards,

causing the nine Coiling Dragon Jade Pillars to hum and tremble, their runes flashing frantically!

"Heavens! This light!"

"What terrifying energy! It's much stronger than when those Senior Brothers were testing earlier!"

"Senior Brother Yao is truly extraordinary! Look! The golden inscriptions are appearing!"

Under the gaze of countless eyes that were nearly popping out of their sockets, the brilliant golden light slowly receded.

Inside the jade pillar, rows of crystal-clear golden runes manifested like brands:

Bone Age: Eighty-eight

Spiritual Power Purity: Blazing Sun Origin Essence

Spiritual Power Affinity: Three

Total Spiritual Power: ??? (Far exceeds peers)

Dead silence!

The entire area around the Dao Inquiry Platform fell into an absolute silence where one could hear a pin drop!

The expressions of all the spectating Disciples looked as if they had been gripped by an invisible giant hand,

twisted, frozen, and filled with extreme absurdity and disbelief!

"Eigh... Eighty-eight years old?!"

A Disciple shrieked, breaking the silence, their voice cracking,

"Senior Brother Yao... clearly looks like he's only in his early twenties! How... how is this possible?!"

"Yeah! Although one can change their appearance after the Nascent Soul stage,

most Cultivators don't deliberately change their looks; they usually maintain the state they were in before forming their core?

Could it be that Senior Brother Yao formed his core in his twenties and reached the Nascent Soul stage at eighty-eight?!"

"Could it be... could Senior Brother Yao be one of those old monsters who bloomed late and accumulated strength over time?

But... but his temperament doesn't seem like it!"

At this moment, most of the people present were Inner Sect Core Disciples.

They didn't know about Yao Delong's past, and waves of shock rose in their hearts.

An eighty-eight-year-old Mid Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator wasn't considered top-tier within the Yin Yang Sect,

but they were definitely considered excellent; many Elders were only at this level.

But paired with Yao Delong's excessively young face, the contrast was simply too great!

A massive sense of disappointment instantly shrouded the hearts of those Disciples who had expected to see a 'peerless Genius'.

However, the next line of text sent their hearts back into their throats!

"Scorch... Blazing Sun Origin Essence?!" An experienced Core Disciple's voice trembled.

"It's not the Five Elements! It's not wind, rain, thunder, or lightning! It's an Origin! And it's the Blazing Sun Origin Essence!

This... this is even more overbearing and blazing than ordinary Yang-attribute Origins! This is a legendary top-tier spiritual power attribute!"

*Hiss*—! Origin power! And it's the Blazing Sun Origin Essence! No wonder Senior Brother Yao's combat strength is so terrifying!"

The hearts of the crowd, which had just fallen to the bottom of the valley, were instantly dragged back up to the clouds by these three words: 'Blazing Sun Origin Essence'!

The gazes directed at Yao Delong were filled with shock and awe.

But before they could steady themselves in the clouds, the third line of text poured down on them like the coldest ice from the Nine Heavens!

"Spiri... Spiritual Power Affinity... Three?!"

A female Disciple covered her mouth, her eyes nearly bulging out.

"Three?! Am I seeing this right?! The 'Armored Savage Bulls' raised by the Sect to pull millstones have an affinity of five points!

Three... this... this is more useless than cattle and horses! How could he possibly Cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage?!"

"My god! Three points of affinity? This... this is simply unheard of!

Senior Brother Yao... how on earth did he Cultivate?!"

The immense sense of absurdity and the collapse of their understanding left all the Disciples dazed.

Spiritual Power Affinity is the Foundation of Cultivation.

With three points of affinity, theoretically, even drawing Qi into the body would be fraught with difficulties!

This data was essentially rubbing their common sense into the ground!

Just as the crowd was being dizzied by the impact of these polar-opposite data points,

nearly beginning to doubt if the jade pillar was broken,

the final line gave their Souls another critical strike!

"Total Spiritual Power: ??? (Far exceeds peers)"

"Question marks?! Why are there question marks!"

"Far exceeds peers?! The last time this evaluation appeared was for Senior Brother Dao Changge!

But Senior Brother Dao's result back then only showed 'comparable to Mid Nascent Soul'! Senior Brother Yao's... is directly question marks?!"

"Far exceeds peers... far exceeds... just how profound is it?! Is he really at the Mid Nascent Soul Stage?!"

A roller coaster! Everyone's mood was like being thrown into the craziest roller coaster!

From the clouds to the valley floor, then dragged to even higher clouds, and finally smashed into an even deeper ice cave!

This extremely contradictory combination of data, which could not be explained by common logic at all, actually appeared on the same person!

"This... this jade pillar... is it broken?" Finally, someone couldn't help but voice a Soul-searching question.

This data was too outrageous! It was simply impossible!

"Cheating! He must have used some secret technique to interfere with the jade pillar!"

There were also jealous Core Disciples who roared with bloodshot eyes.

The Soul Transformation Elder in charge of supervising the exam was also frowning deeply at this moment,

his cloudy eyes filled with shock and uncertainty.

He had lived for hundreds of years and presided over countless True Disciple examinations,

but he had never seen such a bizarre combination of data!

He treated the pressure of the Dao Inquiry Platform as if it were nothing.

A Bone Age of eighty-eight on the Spirit Appraisal Jade Pillar was understandable, and the Blazing Sun Origin Essence was already shocking,

but an affinity of three was even more unbelievable. And finally, that bottomless,

terrifying total spiritual power that even the Spirit Appraisal Jade Pillar could not fully measure—it even made his heart skip a beat!

How... should this be evaluated?

Just as the Elder was hesitating, and the entire venue was sinking into a chaotic mess of questioning and discussion,

a peaceful yet supremely majestic voice, like a divine melody from the Nine Heavens,

clearly echoed in everyone's ears, instantly suppressing all the noise:

"Yao Delong, Bone Age eighty-eight, deep Foundation;

Spiritual power attribute 'Blazing Sun Origin Essence', the most Yang and most rigid power in the world, with infinite potential;

Although his Spiritual Power Affinity is low, his total spiritual power is vast and majestic, far exceeding his peers,

which shows that his Cultivation Technique is mysterious and his will is tenacious, compensating for Innate deficiencies with supreme perseverance!

Furthermore, his combat strength is outstanding; he fought powerful enemies alone in the Burial God Abyss and turned the tide,

his actual combat strength far exceeds that of an ordinary Mid Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator!"

The owner of the voice was none other than the current Sect Head of the Yin Yang Sect—White Cloud Master!
