“Su Jingzhen and the others didn’t even co down and just sat with the Sect Leader of the Northern Abyss Divine Sect and Elder Cheng? Then… what was the point of my efforts?”
As Steward Lin saw Su Jingzhen and the others sitting in midair beside Cheng Xian, his expression suddenly beca grim.
It dawned on him that he had been outplayed by Elder Cheng.
“Can I even bla myself for this? I wonder if reporting it now would still earn any reward from the sect?” he muttered, his mood shifting between regret and uncertainty.
The other Divine Dan Sect elders standing nearby noticed his unusual behavior, and curious expressions began to show on their faces.
“Brother Lin, what’s wrong with you? That girl who was invited to sit with Elder Cheng, do you have any special connection with her?”
“Oh, right, those three earlier were from Shenhua Province. Could they be so hidden talents?
It seems like Elder Cheng has already taken notice of them. Whatever it is, it has nothing to do with you, right?
You don’t have to keep it a secret from us anymore, right?”
“Yes, I’m also curious. Who is that person sitting with Elder Cheng? It must be soone important.”
“…”
After so prompting from the other elders, Steward Lin thought for a mont and decided to reveal the details of Su Jingzhen’s mastery of the Control Dan Heart.
Since Elder Cheng had taken the lead, he didn’t dare to speak too freely.
But if he revealed the facts to his colleagues, perhaps there would be more people to verify his account.
If that happened, the sect might even feel obliged to reward him.
“Well, Brother Lin, you really kept this secret from us. You should have let us know sooner so that we could also get a good look before Elder Cheng made his move.
That way, we could at least get in on the action.”
“Complete control of the Dan Heart? It’s probably been decades since anyone from the Divine Dan Realm has achieved that.”
“According to what you say, this person is under thirty and has completely mastered controlling the Dan Heart? And one of the girls has already reached the late stage of the Celestial Being Realm at the sa age?”
“Who is this from? What great power do they belong to?”
“…”
The elders of the Divine Dan Sect discussed in awe. However, they didn’t spread the news far and wide because they didn’t want to attract too much attention prematurely.
anwhile, Yu Xinhai stepped forward and stood in midair. His gaze swept over the crowd below as he smiled.
“Everyone, thank you for your patience. After a thorough evaluation by the alchemists of the Divine Dan Sect, we now have the results.”
“For this alchemy event, our Northern Abyss Divine Realm branch has selected 9,894 participants for the next round.”
Upon hearing this, the crowd couldn’t help but gasp.
Out of nearly 100,000 participants in the preliminary round, only about 9,000 had made it through. The elimination rate was almost ten to one, a frightening statistic.
But on reflection, the crowd understood. After all, the preliminary round was much tougher than the general selection. If anyone could make it through, the final event would be overcrowded.
This ti, the alchemy event wasn’t ant to represent the entire cultivation world, nor was it even ant for all of Zhongzhou; it was limited to the nearby great divine realms.
Even so, there were dozens of regions involved, each sending nearly 10,000 participants. It was still a huge final selection.
Without hesitation, Yu Xinhai made a hand gesture. A series of dazzling lights suddenly rained down on the alchemy platforms below.
Similar to the preliminary round, the alchemy platforms that were lit up with rays of light represented those who had passed the second round.
The brightness of the light indicated their rank.
At this mont, ten beams of light shone the brightest, clearly marking the top ten.
However, the two brightest platforms were the two adjacent platforms where Su Jingzhen and Wang Yingying had sat earlier.
The third brightest was the platform where Mu Qingshi had been.
With nearly ten thousand people present, no one had the ti to recite the nas and rankings individually.
The ray of light was a much more direct and visible way to show the results.
Soon, everyone recognized that the brightest light ca from the platform where Su Jingzhen had finished in just a single incense stick’s ti!
“So, that guy just took one incense stick’s ti and still ended up first in this round of the Northern Abyss Divine Realm’s selection?”
“That’s a bit hard to believe, isn’t it?”
“I’m sure I’m not wrong. It looks like the one who finished in just one incense stick’s ti is now sitting up in the sky with Elder Cheng.”
“That explains it, but how did he manage that? During the alchemy process, it didn’t seem like that guy had any Dan Heart presence at all.”
“…”
At this mont, all eyes were on the figure sitting in midair next to Elder Cheng-Su Jingzhen. Their expressions were filled with shock, but more than that, it was curiosity.
Sohow, word had gotten out, and now they knew Su Jingzhen’s na.
As a result, the na “Su Jingzhen” quickly beca the talk of the Northern Abyss Divine Realm, both at this mont and for a long ti to co.
“Wait, Su Jingzhen… why does that na sound so familiar?”
“With the population of the Northern Abyss Divine Realm, how many trillions of people are there? There must be countless people with that na. Every na sounds familiar to .”
“Yes, you’re right…”
As the crowd discussed, over at the edge of the training grounds, Mu Qingshi stood watching the two beams of light shining brighter than his own.
His face flickered between darkness and uncertainty, mixed with a hint of regret.
After being sent down earlier by Li Qingquan, Mu Qingshi suddenly realized that if he could join the ranks of the Divine Dan Sect’s top ten elders, it wouldn’t be such a humiliation.
After all, after calming down from the excitent of coming down from the skies, he had to admit that Su Jingzhen’s mastery of the Dan Heart was sothing that he could not match.
But now, regret was useless.
If he went back and begged, they probably wouldn’t take him in anyway.
“So what if he controls the Dan Heart? It’s the final outco that counts, and I, Mu Qingshi, am destined to beco a disciple of the Divine Dan Sect’s Sect Leader.
Even if I’m not the number one in the Northern Abyss Divine Realm this ti, the one who will shine in the end will be , Mu Qingshi!”
As Mu Qingshi muttered to himself, he failed to notice two figures standing not far behind him.
An old man and a young girl were quietly watching him with a look of disdain on their faces.
The old man was missing an arm and a leg, while the girl was vibrant and graceful, growing into a beautiful young woman.
“Grandpa, it seems like Brother Su got the first place in the Northern Abyss Divine Realm’s selection.”
“Should we go and et him?”
“It’s a sha that we ca too late and didn’t get to see what kind of pill Brother Su made.”
Upon hearing the young girl’s excited words, the old man silently nodded in acknowledgent despite his disabled state.
