"What on earth is this?!"

Although Chang had much more insight compared to the ordinary disciples, since joining the sect, he had never witnessed such an exaggerated reaction from the Inquiry Stone.

The people present couldn’t comprehend it even more.

However, such an astonishing scene might be a kind of unsurpassed talent. No matter how far-fetched the guess, it wouldn’t be excessive.

Fortunately, there was no time left for Chang and the disciples to dwell on it.

From the majestic Suspended Divine Peaks, ribbons of light shot skyward, speeding directly toward the plaza.

Each person emerging from the rainbow light exuded extraordinary presence, either sharp like a blade or sturdy like a boulder, each with a unique aura.

But their common trait was the burning, fierce admiration in their eyes as they gazed at Lv Bai.

They were eager to grasp him instantly and claim him as their disciple.

Such blatant stares made even Lv Bai feel a bit overwhelmed.

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!" A middle-aged man radiating an aggressive aura began scrutinizing Lv Bai closely, then laughed heartily, "The five elements are whole, Dao resonance bursts forth, celestial phenomena descend — this is the demeanor of becoming an Immortal! I should have such an excellent disciple!"

"Wang Du Gui, what do you mean by that?"

Upon hearing this, the others present showed displeasure.

A graceful woman directly stepped forward, shielding Lv Bai behind her, "Fine, partner, method, and earth, how can your Hidden Blade Peak compare to my Rain Mist Peak?"

"No way!"

"In the path of cultivation, suitability is most important. Merely comparing resources would waste such an extraordinary Immortal Seed." The remaining elders almost simultaneously voiced rejection.

The people present were not yielding, and they began a heated dispute.

In the aftermath, the atmosphere grew tense, almost reaching sword-drawn levels.

The elders, usually regarded as composed, disregarded their image in a battle for a disciple.

This scene left Chang and the Cyan Hope Sect disciples stunned.

"Enough, such bickering is beneath us."

An elderly man, exuding immortal grace and holding a whisk, looked extremely displeased, "Everyone is here for the future of the sect; behaving like this is unacceptable."

He managed to control the chaotic scene slightly before speaking, "Let’s not harm our relations. I shall take the disciple for now, and if it isn’t suitable, the disciple can choose later on."

"?"

The middle-aged man dubbed Wang Du Gui swiftly drew a large blade, "Sect Leader, your words are out of line."

The whisk-holding Sect Leader snorted coldly, "It seems we’ll have to settle this with a duel."

"Hmph, I was thinking the same."

In an instant, several streaks of light shot upwards, rising to the clouds.

Through the clouds, fierce bursts and the overflow of battling shockwaves shattered the cloud cover.

Seeing things escalate this way, Chang forcibly contained his inner turmoil, stepping forward to manage the situation.

"Considering the sudden developments, the remaining assessments are suspended. I ask everyone to patiently wait."

Truthfully, he didn’t need to say this, as the remaining untested potential disciples wouldn’t dare to protest, witnessing the sect leader and elders in battle.

Those people, having nothing else to do for the moment, naturally scrutinized Lv Bai curiously as the instigator of it all.

It’s vital to know that talent is categorized into four levels: Earth, Sky, Mystical, and Yellow, but it’s not to say that Sky-level talent is the highest.

Because the four levels of talent have a prefix categorizing mortal talents into four levels.

Talent beyond Sky-level is so formidable that it transcends the mortal realm.

If not because they were young with thin skins, someone might have already approached to curry favor.

After all, in their understanding, Lv Bai’s current display of exaggerated talent assuredly destined him to become a significant figure, barring prematurity or mishap.

Standing beside Chang, Shi Qingyu was slightly uncertain and suspicious.

She hadn’t expected that her idle chatter with a handsome potential disciple out of boredom would lead to encountering such an extraordinary figure.

She kept recalling their brief exchange, fearing she might have inadvertently offended him.

After a long while, the turbulence in the sky gradually eased.

A silhouette pierced through the clouds, arriving instantaneously.

It’s undeniable, as the Sect Leader was the first to descend before Lv Bai.

Maintaining his timeless immortal appearance, unchanged even by battle’s aftermath.

The elders landing afterward looked relatively less composed, appearing rather disheveled.

The Sect Leader ignored the elders behind him, calmly regarding Lv Bai, smiling while stroking his beard.

Having observed adequately, he gently inquired, "Young friend, what’s your name?"

Uncertain about the power hierarchy of this world, Lv Bai carried a harmless and polite smile, responding respectfully, "Lv Bai."

"Bai, excellent, excellent, a splendid name; rising dawn, pure and bright."

The Sect Leader’s demeanor became increasingly benevolent, "This humble monk is Master Yuxu, the indiscreet Sect Leader of the Cyan Hope Sect, desiring to accept you as a disciple. Do you agree?"

At present, this immortal-like elder seemed to be the most capable in the Cyan Hope Sect.

With no detriment to himself, Lv Bai naturally didn’t refuse, nodding, "I agree."

Upon hearing this, Master Yuxu’s expression grew warmer, showing closer affection.

"Excellent."

...

At the Cyan Hope Sect’s primary peak.

Amidst the elegant bamboo forest.

Lv Bai sat cross-legged on a mat.

The cultivation system in this world begins with Qi Cultivation, followed by Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Divinity Transformation, closely resembling the traditional cultivation framework, but with considerably greater difficulty.

Chang was elated to see Shi Qingyu’s Earth-level talent because Earth-level cultivators seldom encounter bottlenecks before Nascent Soul.

This implies that as long as they follow a proper path, they are destined to eventually become formidable Nascent Soul entities.

Yellow-level talents progress at least ten times slower than Earth-level talents, facing prolonged bottlenecks with each minor realm.

Without significant chance or opportunity, achieving Foundation Establishment remains a lifetime obstacle.

Lv Bai’s talent, naturally, incited the elders’ rivalry.

According to the Deathmatch System’s standards, ordinary people’s Talent Value averages around ten.

Lv Bai, having engaged in prior deathmatches, had increased his Talent Value to an unimaginable degree.

In worlds without a cultivation system, it might not fully reveal the strength inherent in his values.

In this cultivation world, it’s indeed accurate to call him an Immortal in demeanor. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Furthermore, he chose the Talent King ability, doubling his talent value.

Originally terrifying figures, doubling made his cultivation speed akin to a rocket ride.
