176: generous conditions

One month later, the top 1,000 Cultivators from each Faction had been recruited as Disciples by the various Sects one after another.

Dedicated Soul Transformation Cultivators taught them Sect Cultivation Techniques based on their individual Aptitude and attributes.

Although these were not the core Cultivation Techniques of the major Sects, they were still top-tier Soul Transformation level techniques.

If they were to leak out to the outside world, they could trigger a bloodbath.

Here, however, they were merely standard Cultivation Techniques practiced by Outer Sect Disciples.

Outside the Plane, aboard the exclusive immortal ship of Immortal Emperor Lingtian.

Among the 100 Cultivators who made it into the total ranking list, over forty stood in the hall, some nervous, some calm.

These people were all Disciples of small Sects, children of cultivation Families, or Loose Cultivators.

The main reason for this was that the Seven Sects did not allow too many of their own Disciples who were about to Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage to participate.

As for those Sect Disciples who had already broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage and entered the total ranking list, they stood quietly behind the various True Immortals.

The seven Golden Immortals sat high above, surveying the crowd.

However, all the Immortal Venerables appeared in the form of Clone projections.

Their appearances were obscured by immortal light, and their auras were extremely restrained to avoid accidentally harming the little ones below.

"Yu Ying, Nascent Soul Early Stage, Metal and Water dual Spiritual Root, ranked 100th in points..."

"Zhao Wu, Nascent Soul Stage Early Stage, High Grade Fire Spiritual Root, ranked 97th in points..."

"Li Yuying, Nascent Soul Early Stage, High Grade Wood Spiritual Root, ranked 93rd in points..."

"..."

A Peak Integration Stage Cultivator from the Haoyang Sect continuously recited the information of these Loose Cultivators.

The names of Luo Xuanxiao, Qi Yunling, and others were prominently on the list.

Wen Qingzhu was also among them, ranked 80th.

Finally, the Haoyang Sect Integration Stage Cultivator looked up at the venue and solemnly introduced, "Han Yu, Core Formation Mid-stage, Metal, Wood, and Lightning triple Spiritual Root, ranked... second in points!"

"Reporting to all Immortal Venerables, all forty-seven people are here."

After bowing to the seven Immortal Venerables, this Integration Stage Cultivator stepped aside.

"This National War was held by the Seven Sects to screen for talent."

A True Immortal stepped forward and looked down at the crowd, saying indifferently, "Previously, you belonged to different Factions, but in consideration of your outstanding performance, you are specially permitted to make a choice of your own... Regardless of your Faction background, you may choose to join any Sect according to your own wishes."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked surprised.

Even Lu Tao did not know that entering the total ranking list had such a benefit.

But on second thought, it seemed natural.

After all, everyone present, except for Su Ling, was a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.

Their own Cultivation Technique Foundations were already set; it was almost impossible to dissipate their cultivation and start over.

If they could choose a Sect that was highly compatible with their own Dao development and practice top-tier Cultivation Techniques, that would be the best.

The Seven Sects screening for talent certainly hoped to teach students in accordance with their Aptitude.

In short, a supreme grade Fire Spiritual Root Cultivator joining the Bitao Sect would clearly not develop as well as joining the Haoyang Sect.

Conversely, a Cultivator who had studied Formation for many years would certainly have a better future joining the Wuyun Sect.

After a moment, a bold person cupped his hands and said with a hint of nervousness, "This Disciple possesses a High Grade Fire Spiritual Root and practices a Fire-attribute Cultivation Technique... I wish to join the Haoyang Sect."

This person was Zhao Wu, who was ranked 97th and belonged to the Wuji Faction.

"Accepted!"

A Haoyang Sect True Immortal immediately nodded in approval.

Zhao Wu looked happy and walked into the Haoyang Sect's queue.

"Since you come from the Wuji Faction, it can be considered fate. Take these Spirit Stones as a reward from our Wuji Sect for your contribution to this National War."

A Wuji Sect True Immortal casually threw a Storage Pouch to him.

Zhao Wu caught the Storage Pouch in a daze, and as his Divine Sense moved, his eyes were filled with surprise.

He immediately bowed deeply toward the direction of Immortal Venerable Lingtian, "This Wuji Disciple thanks the Immortal Venerable for the generous gift!"

Inside that Storage Pouch were 10 million Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

With such wealth to assist him, even as a Loose Cultivator, his future path of cultivation would be much smoother.

The seven Golden Immortals, as well as the other True Immortals and Integration Stage Cultivators, were very calm about this.

Apparently, this gesture had long since become a convention.

With Zhao Wu taking the lead, a dozen other Loose Cultivator Nascent Souls chose other Sects.

Each of them received a reward of 10 million Spirit Stones from their original Faction.

After some distribution, only the top ten people remained in the venue.

"In this National War, seven of the top ten Prodigies actually came from the Bitao Faction..."

Immortal Venerable Lieyang said with a half-smile, "What an unprecedented grand occasion!"

The Golden Immortals turned to look at Fairy Qinglian.

Immortal Venerable Qimeng, Shuyang, and Immortal Venerable Xuanji all looked somewhat helpless.

None of their three Sects had a single Disciple enter the top ten.

It could be called the worst performance in history.

"Since that is the case, let Fairy Qinglian distribute the rewards for these ten!"

Immortal Venerable Lingtian waved his hand and tossed out ten brocade boxes, suggesting.

"Senior Brother Lingtian, do not be in such a hurry."

Immortal Venerable Qimeng smiled slightly and interrupted, "I am very interested in this Han Yu, who is ranked second."

After speaking, she looked directly at Su Ling, "Han Yu, are you willing to join my Nightmare Sect? I observe that the essence of your magic power should belong to the extreme Yin path... If you join my Sect, I can teach you the Sect's secret scripture, the Nightmare Soul-Devouring Scripture, and the Phantom Dream Thousand-Kill Art!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Even if 'Han Yu' had performed impressively this time, he was still just a Core Formation Mid-stage Loose Cultivator.

To actually have Immortal Venerable Qimeng speak personally?

And even willing to take him as a personal Disciple and teach him famous cultivation classics!

This favor was too great...

However, the Immortal Venerables did not find this strange.

Even they themselves, facing such a brilliant talent, would have the same courage and thoughts!

Su Ling's eyes lifted upon hearing this, and he looked at Immortal Venerable Qimeng with some surprise.

He had never heard of these two Cultivation Techniques and secret arts.

But in the last ten years, he had encountered two elite Disciples of the Nightmare Sect.

Their shadow assassination secret arts were far more profound than the ones Qin Jueying practiced.

Moreover, it was a Golden Immortal power taking a Disciple.

Immortal Venerable Qimeng was the founder of the Nightmare Sect. If he joined her Sect, he could almost be considered one of the most distinguished Cultivators in the Canglang Plane.

It would be several notches higher than Lu Tao, who was a Disciple of a True Immortal.

It would be no exaggeration to describe it as a step to the sky.

Facing such temptation, it was impossible for Su Ling not to be moved.

But thinking of Lu Tao, a trace of hesitation inevitably arose in his heart.

"Han Yu, if you join the Haoyang Sect, you can also join my Sect. In addition to letting you choose from the Sect's classics..."

Immortal Venerable Lieyang said with a smile, "How about I additionally grant you a low-grade spirit tool?"

"A low-grade spirit tool? Brother Lieyang is truly generous."

Immortal Venerable Shuyang smiled dashingly and said directly, "My Yangquan Sect's pure Yin Cultivation Technique is most compatible with Han Yu's magic power attributes. If you join my Yangquan Sect, I can additionally grant you a low-grade spirit tool, the Profound Yin Tower, and 10,000 pure Yin attribute Top-Grade Spirit Stones! With the help of such treasures, your cultivation will be unimpeded!"

Sect classics, Medium Grade spirit tools, 10,000 Top-Grade Spirit Stones...

The several Immortal Venerables were competing to offer generous conditions for one Han Yu, causing everyone to be dumbfounded.

Even those Integration Stage and True Immortals could not help but cast envious glances at Su Ling.

Su Ling did not know how to choose for a moment.

These conditions were simply too generous.

Immortal Venerable Mochen, Xuanji, and Lingtian did not speak, but they all watched Fairy Qinglian with great interest.

They wanted to see if she was willing to give up 'Han Yu', or offer even more generous conditions.
