Chapter 810: Heaven’s Selection!
Heaven's Selection! . . .
"That doesn't seem right. While you are indeed the eldest disciple brother and the most powerful in terms of cultivation, it doesn't necessarily an you excel in guiding disciples..." One of the old n expressed his discontent. "Besides, you already have several outstanding disciples. Why must you snatch..."
"Did you really just say that? Is that the best argunt you can muster?" The eldest grandmaster retorted angrily. "Your words actually prove that I am adept at guiding disciples. All my disciples have thrived under my tutelage! Why shouldn't I have the opportunity to ntor this remarkable young man?"
His indignation flared. "Look at the two of you. You can't even engage in a civil discussion, and yet you desire to take on disciples of your own? All you'd be doing is leading the younger generation astray. This young man is a priceless treasure, and I hereby put a halt to your absurd squabbling. He belongs to and no one else!"
"You..." The other two elderly n were fuming. "How dare you! Did you just say we lead the young generation astray? How dare you! I swear, I will—"
The scene grew tenser as the three elderly n nearly ca to blows.
In the hall, the remaining nineteen individuals, including the Pri Master, remained silent. The three elderly n were the most senior figures present. They represented the only living grandmasters within Cold Moon Palace. At least eight of the nineteen people in the hall were disciples of these three elderly n.
None dared to challenge them or engage in combat with their own masters over a disciple.
The onlookers could only exchange glances and maintain their silence. No one dared to voice their thoughts.
"Let them fight it out. I never intended to take on this disciple anyway," thought Cha Eun Xiao. He was taken aback by the spectacle unfolding before him. He found it bizarre that none of these esteed figures had offered a word of encouragent or praise. Instead, they bickered as if he were an inanimate object.
"No matter what, these three elderly gentlen are all at the ninth stage of the Dao Origin Realm, just a step away from ascending to the Human Realm Above Heavens," he mused. "It seems that Cold Moon Palace wields formidable power, even more so than I initially thought. In my previous life, these three didn't participate in the battle against . If they had, the outco might have been rather grueso."
Reflecting on his past, Cha Eun Xiao realized that these three were exceptionally potent adversaries. They had fought against Xuan Bing together and were still bested by her. It left him in awe of her extraordinary strength.
"It can't be these three..." he pondered.
However, his thoughts began to spin into confusion, causing a headache. The extent of his pondering proved unproductive.
"It seems I was just slightly above average in my previous life. Many individuals were stronger than ," he contemplated. "There are nurous people more formidable than , especially considering the sheer number of strong figures in this realm."
"Very well, three masters..." Yue Changtian gathered his courage and interjected, "Ye Chongxiao has yet to undergo the Heaven's Selection, so it remains uncertain which martial art he should pursue. We do not know which ntor would be the most suitable..."
The three elderly n simultaneously shook their heads. "There's no need to worry. With his extraordinary talent, he is a match for any martial art. There is only one martial art he won't be inclined to cultivate, but there is none he cannot master."
Yue Changtian's expression twisted. "Even so, the Heaven's Selection has been a tradition since ancient tis."
The three elderly n were taken aback, but after so contemplation, they stamped their feet resolutely. "You're correct. We cannot disregard the customs of our forebears. Very well, let it be done!"
The youngest among the old n couldn't help but scoff. "But after the selection, when the results are in, everyone must adhere to the outco. Stop causing trouble!"
The other two responded with derision. "Ha! You speak as if victory is assured for you. Your Sacred Glow of the Moon pales in comparison to my Art of Moon Essence. Do you truly believe you'll win? It's nothing more than a pipe dream. Rember your words now, and don't question the result!"
"Listen to you brag! Your Art of Moon Essence is nothing extraordinary. My Cold Moon Sky reigns supre!" The eldest taunted with a possessive air, as if Cha Eun Xiao were destined to be his disciple. "Both of you, rember that no one is to contest the outco. Rest assured, no violations will be tolerated. The two of you should retire for a while."
While the three elderly n engaged in their 'cordial' conversation, everyone filed out of the main hall.
They traversed through the rear of the main hall and journeyed over a dozen miles to reach another hall, which was elliptical in shape.
Inside this hall, only twelve pillars stood, exuding an aura of grandeur and solemnity. It was clear that this place held great significance.
Above, near the ceiling, twelve moons were depicted.
Their collective attention was directed to a particular spot in the hall. Cha Eun Xiao advanced and took his place there. This was where he would undergo the Heaven's Selection.
"No wonder these three factions have endured for tens of thousands of years. They possess unique traditions..." Cha Eun Xiao silently comnded. "Other sects typically allow masters to select a martial art for their disciples. In the three factions, however, they let the martial arts themselves choose their disciples. They match the disciple with the martial art most suited to them. It's no wonder they have produced so many influential figures."
He marveled silently, unaware that starlight and moonlight were beginning to manifest overhead.
The Heaven's Selection was comncing.
All eyes were fixed upon the twelve pillars.
Each of these pillars represented one of the twelve great martial arts in Cold Moon Palace.
Each pillar bore a 100-degree scale, and when the moonlight illuminated a disciple, it would light up one of these pillars. The scale would reveal just how well the disciple was suited to the martial art. This process was beyond manipulation.
