"Actually, the Sect Leader was very concerned about Nephew Huaa’s safety, even granting him a Divine Talisman."
"It’s just that Bai Ziyue seed to appear suddenly, with strength almost on par with a Divine Realm Master. Even after Nephew Huaa used the Divine Talisman, he couldn’t deal with him."
"By the ti we reacted, Nephew Huaa... Nephew Huaa was already dead."
Miao Changchun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and explained.
"So, you’re saying he was only at the Enlightennt Realm strength?"
Huaa Wensheng coldly asked.
"Yes."
Miao Changchun said softly, "We suspect that this Bai Ziyue is very likely the Kunlun Daoist who recently made a na for himself."
"This Kunlun Daoist is heralded as the strongest below the Divine Realm in the past three hundred years, excluding Master Six Extres, and an invincible Immortal Master at the Enlightennt Realm."
"I wasn’t present at the scene at that ti, but we were indeed careless."
Miao Dingzhen said remorsefully.
"Comparable to Master Six Extres? Kunlun Daoist?"
Huaa Wensheng naturally knew Master Six Extres, but having already broken through to the Divine Realm, he didn’t care about cultivators at the Enlightennt Realm level, and said icily, "It doesn’t matter what his identity is. If I want him dead, he must die."
"Your Gu God Sect also bears an unavoidable responsibility this ti, to find him and kill him..."
"Don’t worry, he caused our Gu God Sect to have no potential cultivators participating in the competition for twelve spots. Even if you didn’t say it, he wouldn’t live!"
Miao Dingzhen said sinisterly.
...
"Immortal Master Bai, this is our Sunrise Daoist Sect’s Sect Leader, Master Wan Hong."
In the reception hall, the Grand Elder of the Sunrise Daoist Sect, Zhuang Xinping, pointed casually to the middle-aged cultivator seated at the high platform, wearing a purple Daoist robe, whose face appeared ordinary but whose aura was elusive yet restrained.
"Bai Ziyue, greets the Sect Leader!"
Bai Ziyue perford a Daoist salute and said.
*If it were before, he would have been filled with awe towards Divine Realm powerhouses like Master Wan Hong.*
*But with his recently skyrocketing strength, his confidence had also surged accordingly. Although still respectful, he would never be cowering in fear and excessive reverence like regular cultivators.*
"I wonder whether I should call you Immortal Master Bai or Kunlun Daoist?"
Master Wan Hong looked at Bai Ziyue, his gaze sowhat complicated.
*The first ti he heard the na Kunlun Daoist was two months ago, when he was only startled by this mysterious powerhouse who single-handedly killed many Elders of the Grand Daoist Sect, destroying a major Immortal Technique Sect.*
*The second ti was during the discovery of the Six Extres Cave Mansion, when the opponent escaped from the hands of two Divine Realm powerhouses, solidifying his title as the strongest below the Divine Realm, invincible at the Enlightennt Realm.*
*This ti was the third ti.*
*But he never expected that the fad Kunlun Daoist, whose na had resonated throughout the cultivation realm, would be a disciple of their Sunrise Daoist Sect.*
*Moreover, upon learning the true identity, it was accompanied by news of him killing the Sect Leader’s direct disciple, Huaa Feifan, of the Gu God Sect.*
*Of course, he wasn’t afraid of just the Gu God Sect’s Sect Leader.*
*But Huaa Feifan’s identity as a disciple of the Celestial Spirit Sect and the son of Huaa Wensheng did give him so headaches.*
*This was evidently a trouble.*
"It doesn’t matter to , Immortal Master Bai works, Kunlun Daoist is fine as well."
Bai Ziyue replied casually.
"Alright, Immortal Master Bai."
"I suppose you’re aware that currently the father of Huaa Feifan, the forr prodigy of the Gu God Sect, has returned with the Celestial Spirit Sect’s warship."
"So I want to ask you, about the previous proposal by Elder Zhuang, what do you think?"
Master Wan Hong nodded before speaking.
"Give up the competition for the twelve spots?"
Bai Ziyue asked.
"Yes. Huaa Wensheng is narrow-minded, seeking revenge for the slightest grievance."
"Even if your talent is peerless, surely capable of securing one of the twelve spots, maybe even claiming the top among them."
"But he would never allow such a thing to happen and is bound to seek your death."
"Therefore, like the Grand Elder, I also suggest that you abandon this competition and return to the Sect as soon as possible, relying on the arrays of the Sunrise Daoist Sect for protection, to escape Huaa Wensheng’s pursuit."
"If you agree, I can promise to nurture you wholeheartedly, to help you reach the Divine Realm sooner."
"If you’re interested, I can even offer you the position of Sect Leader in the future, should you wish to take it over."
Master Wan Hong said with a serious expression.
*The growth and prosperity of a sect depend heavily on geniuses.*
*Providing talent to the Celestial Spirit Sect was not only for the reward of the Divine Pill but also out of necessity, not daring to resist under their threat.*
*But Bai Ziyue was also a person of stunning talent, and had already proven his potential. Given the opportunity, he certainly wanted to strive to keep him in the Sunrise Daoist Sect for developnt, to strengthen the sect.*
"Thank you for the Sect Leader’s kindness."
"However, even if I can’t successfully secure one of the twelve spots, I’ll not linger here for long."
*If things don’t go well, I’ve decided to take another path to the Outer Realm.*
Bai Ziyue shook his head and said.
"Indeed, the more of a genius and prodigy, the loftier the spirit, knowing that there is a broader world beyond, none would choose to stay in this restrictive world."
"Even I felt the sa way, right?"
"I was a bit too expectant."
"Just hope that if you achieve sothing in the future, you won’t forget that it’s the Sunrise Daoist Sect."
Master Wan Hong sighed with a bit of loneliness, finally giving up on further persuasion.
"Thank you for understanding, Sect Leader,
Of course, please be assured, as long as I am alive, I will always be a mber of the Sunrise Daoist Sect. This will never change."
Bai Ziyue was not soone who did not understand gratitude and repaynt.
*At his lowest point, if it weren’t for the Purple Qi Divine Observation Technique of the Sunrise Daoist Sect, he wouldn’t have been able to so easily step into the ranks of Immortal Technique cultivation.*
*Even though there were many trials along the way, with the help of the sect’s Cultivation Techniques and Magic, he solved countless troubles and steadily grew step by step, greatly aiding his cultivation journey.*
*Naturally, he had kept all of this in his heart.*
"In that case, I won’t insist further. I can only remind you to act cautiously.
Your strength is formidable, but compared to a true Divine Realm Powerhouse, there will naturally be disparities, so if you notice sothing amiss, flee quickly.
In terms of speed, with Master Six Extres’ Body Technique Divine Techniques, I wouldn’t need to worry about you.
Additionally, I must clarify sothing in advance: if you clash with Huaa Wensheng, we... cannot intervene.
It’s not only to protect ourselves but also because we lack the strength.
If we intervene, then other disciples of the Celestial Spirit Sect will interfere, making you more endangered."
Master Wan Hong, with a tone change, said sowhat guiltily.
"I understand."
Bai Ziyue nodded, naturally understanding this reasoning. The Sunrise Daoist Sect had only Master Wan Hong and Supre Elder Qin Haohan as Divine Realm Powerhouses, and even if they fought to the death, they couldn’t stop the other Divine Realm Powerhouses of the Celestial Spirit Sect from intervening.
Not intervening, not helping either side, was the best choice. For both the Sunrise Daoist Sect and Bai Ziyue, this was the case.
...
The bone age registration went very smoothly.
Two Peak of Enlightennt Realm cultivators from the Celestial Spirit Sect, with the illumination of a bronze treasure mirror, could easily discern whether soone’s bone age was within fifty years and their cultivation potential.
This treasure mirror actually also served as the Spirit Testing Platform for various Immortal Technique Sects.
Bai Ziyue stood beneath the bronze treasure mirror, and he imdiately felt a special spirit light flash within him before returning to the mirror.
Within the mirror, water, fire, and wood-colored spirit lights swiftly flashed. After the three colors passed, soon a layer of light cyan light flashed through.
The water, fire, and wood spirit lights indicated he had the Three Spirit Roots Talent.
The light cyan color indicated that his bone age was acceptable, being under twenty-five.
Besides light cyan, there were dark cyan, light red, and dark red... representing under fifty, seventy-five, and a hundred years, respectively.
As long as red appeared, it naturally ant disqualification from competing for the twelve slots.
Although the recorder was sowhat surprised by Bai Ziyue’s bone age, his Three-attribute Spirit Root talent evidently didn’t impress them, so they didn’t say much but simply followed the rules and handed Bai Ziyue a token to participate.
Bai Ziyue expressed his thanks, reached out, and took it.
...
"Sect Leader, Master Huaa, Bai Ziyue has been found.
He actually dared to openly register to compete for this ti’s twelve slots."
Just as Bai Ziyue was registering, a cultivator from the Gu God Sect quickly retreated and respectfully reported to Miao Dingzhen and Huaa Wensheng within a certain hall.
"Hmm? I thought he’d already fled. Unexpectedly, he’s so audacious, courting death?
Let’s go, lead the way. Today, we’ll take his life."
Miao Dingzhen’s spirit shook as he suddenly stood up.
*Because of Huaa Feifan, staying beside Huaa Wensheng was pure torture for him.*
*Especially now that the Gu God Sect didn’t have a potential disciple to compete for the twelve slots, it darkened his heart even more.*
Upon hearing this, his killing intent surged, barely able to contain himself.
"Don’t be hasty! Since he’s registered for the slot competition, perfect. I will, in front of everyone on the stage, at the spot where my son fell, slay him, grind his bones, scatter his ashes, and light a soul lamp to comfort my son’s spirit in the heavens."
Huaa Wensheng sneered coldly, his eyes glinting as he spoke.
"Fine, let him live a few more hours then."
Miao Dingzhen’s heart went cold, and he quickly nodded.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Just then, a giant golden light suddenly soared from the distant sky.
As the golden light shimred, a resonance like a great bell and drum echoed.
"A Celestial Spirit Root Cultivator, Innate Dao Body.
Indeed, such a peerless talent has appeared.
Who is it? Could it be the Jiuhua Immortal Palace disciple, Fan Qingyu, you ntioned before?"
Huaa Wensheng suddenly stood up, shocked, and asked.
"It should be her, indeed. Besides her, there’s no other with such talent..."
Miao Dingzhen nodded with a difficult expression, but before he finished speaking, a dazzling green light flashed again, accompanied by reverberations like a great bell and drum echoing throughout the Desolate Ancient City.
Miao Dingzhen’s expression instantly beca quite spectacular. He was dumbfounded, rendered sowhat speechless.
"A second peerless talent?"
Huaa Wensheng’s expression changed drastically again, without any hesitation, he imdiately rushed to the registration point.
Miao Dingzhen felt bitter and, after a mont of hesitation, he too soared up and chased after him.
