As expected, with the Jieke Group’s public disclosure of the existence of Transcendents, the whole world was abuzz.
People globally had a mostly optimistic attitude towards the public revelation of Transcendents, believing they were surely the lucky ones.
However, various governnts had significant discontent with the actions of Jieke Group. It was an unspoken agreent to keep the lid on this, yet Jieke Group went ahead and lifted the roof, making the Transcendent issue public, causing them trendous pressure.
Especially the governnts that had gained inheritances from historical ruins, faced massive demonstrations from their citizens, demanding the public disclosure of cultivation techniques and allowing personal cultivation.
Of course, no country would willingly do such a thing, not to ntion the problems of secret transmission of techniques. Once ordinary people mastered Transcendent powers, it would undoubtedly pose a huge threat to the existing ruling class. In countries where even firearms are strictly controlled, how could the governnt allow you to beco a threat hundreds of tis more dangerous than guns? Such uncontrollable threats are sothing that those in power are desperately trying to avoid.
On the other hand, Jieke Group didn’t have so many concerns and imdiately launched a grand talent search in Southeast Asia after their press conference.
.....
Siam, the capital Manchester.
In the central square, the crowd surged like a black mass, countless Siase citizens stood on tiptoe, bringing their families to the scene.
At the square, Jieke Group’s Transcendent talent search team had already arrived.
"It’s Shen Jianxian, she’s so beautiful."
"She’s my idol, I wonder if I could get an autograph photo."
"I want to be like her, beco a Sword Cultivator who can fly anywhere."
When Shen Xueqing got off the bus with the Jieke Group’s work team, the scene was deafening with excitent, startling Shen Xueqing, realizing her popularity was indeed well known even in Siam.
"Miss Shen, we’re counting on you."
A staff mber ca over, asking Shen Xueqing to demonstrate her skills a bit.
"Leave it to ."
Shen Xueqing patted her chest, this was also her agreed cooperation with Jieke Group, to popularize the real existence of Transcendents to the public—seeing is believing, nothing convinces the masses more than witnessing firsthand.
"Hello everyone, I’m Shen Xueqing."
Shen Xueqing perford the Sword Control Technique in front of the audience, the agile and nimble Flying Sword weaving through the air, cutting through the mannequins, her profound presence shown on the large screens surrounding the square, evoking thunderous cheers.
"Next up, I will showcase my latest cultivation achievents."
With the enthusiastic atmosphere, Shen Xueqing demonstrated a unique skill. She lowered the Flying Sword, then stepped onto the sword’s body, as she operated the Spirit Palace Sword Breathing Technique, the Flying Sword shakily rose from the ground, holding Shen Xueqing suspended several ters in the air, moving in a way slower than a granny’s pace—despite wanting to fly higher and faster, her Spiritual Power didn’t allow her to do so. Of course, Shen Xueqing’s act wasn’t really flying, it was rely levitating off the ground.
If this scene were spotted by genuine Sword Cultivators from Tianyuan World, Shen Xueqing would be criticized for tarnishing the reputation of Sword Cultivators.
No real Sword Cultivator flies by stepping on a Flying Sword; Sword Cultivators ride the sword light to soar the skies, stepping on Flying Swords not just restricts speed, it entirely drops the prestige.
Yet on Blue Star, this was extraordinary enough; after all, being able to levitate using one’s own capabilities without any external aids already garnered admiration and envy from the onlookers, the cheers kept escalating.
After a round of demonstration, Shen Xueqing was exhausted, sweating profusely.
At this mont, the Jieke Group’s staff also finished their work, erecting several person-height steles for the citizens to test themselves; only those with sufficient talent would trigger a reaction from the stele.
However, those who could truly cause the steles to react were a few and far between.
Shen Xueqing observed for quite a while, only seeing a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy activate a faint glow on the stele.
The Spiritual Energy concentration of Blue Star was indeed far less than Tianyuan World, and under such conditions, those who could pass the talent test would be regarded as of excellent aptitude in Tianyuan World.
"Bao Ze, thirteen years old, C-level Talent, rewarded with one million Dragon Coins, eligible to enroll in the specialized Extraordinary Class to learn inherited cultivation techniques. During the course, food and accommodation are fully covered, with a monthly learning subsidy of twenty thousand Dragon Coins, after graduation, you may choose to work in Jieke Group’s Transcendent Affairs Division or pursue your own path freely."
The words from the staff imdiately turned the eyes of onlookers red.
One million Dragon Coins!
This was a massive fortune, a scale many people couldn’t save in their lifeti, let alone having subsidies for learning, plus the possibility of joining Jieke Group—known for their crazy benefits and regarded as a place locals strive to get into.
"Dad, I succeeded, I’m going to beco a Superman!"
The young boy excitedly leaped around, seemingly already envisioning his transfiguration into a Superman.
However, the boy didn’t know that cultivation wasn’t only about talent; wealth, companions, techniques, and places—each is a huge hurdle. That’s also why Jieke Group dares to actively cultivate Transcendents, other national forces aren’t able to have this ability.
The boy and his family hugged, shedding tears of joy. With a successful example, it further fueled the enthusiasm of the remaining citizens.
Sadly, talent is innate, you either have it or you don’t.
