The Ultimate Main Quest: Potential Levels!
Most people eagerly handed over the communication magic treasures and obediently took the pills.
Especially Zhao Xiuxiu.
He was extremely knowledgeable and reasonable, and exceptionally obedient. Not only did he voluntarily hand over all his belongings, but he was also the first to take the elixir, a stark contrast to his tough appearance.
But.
Some people remained skeptical and refused to take the elixir.
"Eat, why won't you eat?"
The person traveling with them looked at the person next to them with curiosity.
An elderly man with white hair stared at the pill in his hand, hesitating to take it. Huang Jin urged him, "Hurry up, hurry up!"
The white-haired old man shook his head, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Yang Heng, and said, "Your Nine Yang Palace should know my reputation on the Spirit Rhinoceros Continent. Even if I hadn't been chosen as Disciple of a God, I would never have revealed what I saw today."
Yang Heng smiled faintly, then his voice turned cold as he said, "If you refuse to take the pill, then leave on your own. You need to understand the relationship between us. It's not me begging you, it's you begging me..."
The old man was taken aback.
A look of struggle appeared on his face.
Finally, steeling his resolve, he swallowed the pill.
Led by the white-haired old man.
Many people who were initially hesitant also took the pills.
Having already come this far, and with the prospect of meeting many True God today, they didn't want to miss this fortuitous opportunity.
If we turn back now...
Many people will regret it for the rest of their lives.
Chen Ning looked at the pill in his hand and shook his head slightly. He was the only one who hadn't taken the pill yet.
All eyes of the people from the Nine Yang Palace were on him.
Why haven't you taken the pill yet? Do you intend to give up?
One of the people from the Nine Yang Palace spoke up.
Huang Jin reassured the man, then approached Chen Ning, winked at Chen Ning, and whispered, "If you're scared, go back."
Chen Ning's eyes flickered slightly.
Through Huang Jin's wink, Chen Ning realized that the other party wanted him to leave.
He couldn't help but find it amusing.
Actually.
He originally intended to leave.
It's already so obvious, what reason is there to stay here?
These people from the Nine Yang Palace must have some ulterior motive; this is definitely a trap.
Chen Ning had absolutely no intention of continuing to play with them.
So.
He hesitated to take the elixir for a long time.
Pretend to be hesitant.
Otherwise, if he saw things too clearly and left too decisively, these people probably wouldn't let him leave so easily.
Only.
Chen Ning hadn't expected that Huang Jin from the Nine Yang Palace was also hinting at his departure.
In fact.
Huang Jin's thinking was simple. He had chatted a lot with Chen Ning along the way and they got along very well. Even though they were just strangers, he would help her if he could.
"My lords."
Chen Ning wore a sour expression. "I'm really worried, so I'll head back now."
"Hmph! What a coward."
"Yes, so you want to see the True God, yet you're unwilling to accept this little test?"
Do you think fortuitous opportunity is like cabbage, something you can just grab without taking any risks?
"Besides, the Nine Yang Palace is one of the top powers in the Spirit Rhinoceros Continent, so what's there to be nervous about?"
Among the eighty people, a few saw that Chen Ning was the only one who wanted to back down, and their faces couldn't help but show a hint of mockery.
Chen Ning wasn't angry at all. Instead, he said to the group with a serious expression, "Yes, I'm naturally timid, so I'm afraid I won't be chosen by the True God. I wish you all the best in being chosen by the True God, so that you may soar to great heights and have limitless futures."
After Chen Ning finished speaking...
He then turned to leave.
But then...
A crisp and pleasant system notification sounded.
"Ding! The host has completed the challenges of the Nine Provinces Realm and the Vast Land, and has made the Dragon-Seeking Sect Gate famous throughout both realms! Congratulations on triggering the ultimate main quest [Peerless Sect Leader]!"
"In the realm of gods, heroes vie for supremacy. Host, please establish a new Dragon-Seeking Sect in this great era and rise to prominence in the God Realm."
"Phase One Begins. Mission Introduction: An everlasting and powerful force inevitably needs members with unlimited potential to join it. Please find three talented individuals to serve as elders of the Dragon-Seeking Sect."
"Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Talent Catcher."
[Talent Catcher: When activated, the host can sense the Potential Level of creatures within a nearby area, with the first tier being the lowest and the tenth tier being the highest.]
"Ding! Please recruit talented individuals and grant them the status of Elders of the Dragon-Seeking Sect. From then on, the reputation and power gained by Elders of the Dragon-Seeking Sect Seeking Gate in their travels in the God Realm can be converted into a portion of their Power of Faith and fed back to the leader of the Dragon-Seeking Sect without affecting themselves."
After listening to the system's prompts.
Chen Ning couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
Finally!
I've been waiting for so long, today has finally come!
Throughout the Nine Provinces and the Vast Land, I Ren Yuan to build the legendary sect, the Dragon-Seeking Sect.
They are even more diligent than an old ox.
Finally, it's the sect's turn to give back to them.
That makes sense!
The benefits gained by members of the Dragon-Seeking Sect can be partially converted into Power of Faith without affecting their own gains.
This is a win-win situation!
We've won so much!
The Power of Faith is something that all the gods must contend for.
The benefits it brings are immeasurable.
It can even directly affect the strength of a god.
Thinking of this, Chen Ning couldn't help but quicken his pace forward.
The most important thing right now is to recruit people.
Chen Ning had a slight thought and tested the effectiveness of the Talent Catcher.
After activation.
Ancient characters of different colors appeared above the heads of everyone around.
This is their Potential Level.
However, most people only saw first- and second-order white ancient characters above their heads.
Only a very few individuals possess the blue Potential Level.
But then...
Chen Ning glanced sideways.
A blinding red light flashed.
He turned his gaze in that direction.
All that could be seen was a large character appearing above the head of Zhao Xiuxiu, a woman with a fleshy face and a thick waist, surrounded by a red glow.
Eighth rank.
Compared to others, that's already a remarkably high Potential Level.
But Chen Ning did not stop.
It's only at the eighth rank.
There's no need to take such a big risk to provoke the people of the Nine Yang Palace for him.
Although it's unclear what their scheme is.
It's best to be cautious.
But at this moment...
A crisp system notification sound rang out.
"Ding! As this is the host's first use of the Talent Catcher, this is a notification: In the Dragon-Tiger Realm, there is only one person with the Potential Level Rank 8."
"Holy shit..."
Chen Ning was taken aback.
Then he turned around, smiled at Huang Jin, and said, "Um, I'm starting to regret it... Is it too late to take my medicine now?"
As he spoke.
Chen Ning eagerly snatched the pill from the dumbfounded Huang Jin and swallowed it.
Although Chen Ning's actions were somewhat strange.
But seeing that everyone had taken the pills...
Yang Heng smiled faintly and said, "Gentlemen, please follow me."
They traveled several hundred miles further.
A building came into view.
The exterior walls are all made of Vajra Holy Stone, tall yet exquisite, and indestructible. Each of the nine jade pillars has nine jade beads on it, and this building has only one entrance.
"This is my Nine Yang Palace branch."
Yang Heng introduced himself to everyone.
Then he led everyone through the entrance into the building.
