Azure Cloud Dominates the Ranking, Mission Complete

"First place: Shi Hao, the personal disciple of the Azure Cloud Master."

"Second place: Lin Bai, the personal disciple of the Azure Cloud Master."

"Third place, Hua Qingyu, personally taught by the Azure Cloud Master."

"Fourth place: Qin Han, Inner Sect Disciple Azure Cloud Sect."

"Fifth place: Ning Yan, Inner Sect Disciple Azure Cloud Sect."

"Sixth place, Azure Cloud Sect Inner Sect Disciple Qing Yan."

"Seventh place, Long Aotian, Inner Sect Disciple Azure Cloud Sect."

"Eighth place, Luo Wu, Inner Sect Disciple Azure Cloud Sect."

"Ninth place, Buddha Child Jing Tianchen from the Western Domain Buddha Country."

"Tenth place, Di Xin Mirror Moon Valley."

The person in charge of the Heaven's Chosen Assembly, sent by the Divine Kingdom, gathered his Saint Source atop the platform and spoke loudly.

Ten figures stood straight on the platform, looking down.

Those eight Azure Cloud Sect robes, all uniformly blue and white, were truly eye-catching.

The names of the eight Azure Cloud Sect on the list shocked countless cultivators.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

"I had already guessed that Azure Cloud Sect's disciples were powerful, but I didn't expect them to be this powerful!"

"Yeah, you know what, you really shouldn't say it!"

"If I hadn't witnessed their unstoppable dominance on the battle platform these past few days, I would never have believed it!"

"Then I'll just kill you..."

"Um, I meant the eight disciples from the Immortal Sect who came to participate in the grand event, each one of them is an absolute genius! And five of them are actually Inner Sect Disciple. Are all Inner Sect Disciple absolute geniuses?"

The group of prodigies were all shocked and chattering, but they weren't too upset anymore, as they had been shocked enough over the past ten days.

It's still a pity.

An absolute prodigy! What does that even mean?

Do you really think that the most outstanding talents are just rotten vegetables?

He was a protagonist of his era, a figure who stirred up the winds and waves.

Those are the unparalleled geniuses of the Huangwu Martial World, capable of competing with the supreme giants on the Emperor Road!

Not far below the array platform, Sima Wuqing looked forlornly at the ten figures on the platform.

He sighed.

As circumstances changed, he ultimately suffered a crushing defeat this time.

He was full of confidence before the grand event.

With his strength ranking fourth on the Heaven's Chosen Ranking, he should be able to secure a spot in the top eleven of the grand event.

Who would have thought that the grand event would be ranked eleventh, not in the top ten, just one spot.

First, he challenged the Buddha Child and was defeated, and then he lost to the former Heaven's Chosen Ranking Di Xin by a single move.

The person in charge of the grand event at the summit continued, "The top one hundred participants in this event can join my Chaos Heaven Divine Kingdom."

"The other top 1,000 geniuses can freely choose from other major forces."

"At the same time, the top 100 geniuses will also be rewarded with different treasures according to their ranking."

Upon hearing this, dozens of prodigies on the array platform below smiled.

Joining a powerful Divine Kingdom —wasn't that their purpose in coming to the grand gathering? Now that purpose has finally been achieved.

Furthermore, the Divine Kingdom has made further progress. Not long ago, the Empress broke through to the Immortal Realm, and now the Divine Kingdom is the second major power to have an Immortal Realm expert stationed there.

I wonder how it compares to the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect? Judging from the eight prodigies of the Azure Cloud Sect dominating the rankings, Azure Cloud Sect probably has a deeper foundation to cultivate so many top talents.

It's a pity that last time Azure Cloud Mountain Opening, they either didn't go or couldn't even pass the first test.

At the same time.

In the pavilion on the outskirts of the grand event.

In the antique-style pavilion, Mu Shuixian was pondering some matters, her beautiful eyes darting around, her gaze shifting uncertainly.

"The Empress of the Divine Kingdom has broken through to the Immortal Realm."

On the other side, in the Eastern Domain, at the Azure Cloud Mountain Range.

Outside the Azure Cloud Sect.

"You better guard this gate carefully for me, and don't let even a single spirit bird in."

Outside the sect, atop the mountain.

The Black Emperor spoke solemnly to an old man in front of him.

"Lord Black Emperor, don't you trust me, Gou Sheng, to handle things?"

The old man, dressed in a robe specific to the Azure Cloud Sect, immediately bowed respectfully to the Black Emperor upon hearing this.

"Relax? What kind of patriarch are you, Lin Family patriarch?"

"The entire Lin Family, except for you, has been corrupted by demons. Now everyone knows that your Lin Family is colluding with the Devil Race."

"You must never say that you have ever followed me, or you have completely disgraced me."

The Black Emperor said angrily with a look of disdain.

What kind of things has the Lin Family done? Tell me.

"Lord Black Emperor, please calm down. I was unaware of this either. I had been in seclusion in slumber, and who knew that things would turn out like that after I was awakened."

"I almost never saw you again, sir."

"I must thank you for mentioning me to the sect leader, otherwise I would not have been able to join the Azure Cloud Sect."

Lin Gousheng, the patriarch of the Lin Family, once again sincerely bowed and expressed his gratitude.

"Alright, I won't pursue this matter any further."

"As for mentioning you to the sect leader, that's a trivial matter."

"I am highly valued by the sect leader, otherwise such an important task would not have been entrusted to me."

"Normally speaking, a mere Supreme Being like you is not qualified to handle this task. Only someone like me, the Emperor, could barely be considered qualified."

"However, considering that you followed me before, I just mentioned it to the sect leader. Alright, enough of this nonsense, keep a good watch."

Lin Gousheng immediately replied, "Thank you, Lord Black Emperor."

"Don't worry, sir. With me here, I'll take care of everything, even bird droppings, and clean them up."

On the other side.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the side quest. The disciples have won first place in the Heaven's Chosen Assembly. The quest reward has been issued."

"Congratulations, host, you have obtained Cultivation Enhancement Card."

(Ignoring all limitations will inevitably lead to a higher realm)

"Congratulations, host, you have obtained the mount, the immortal beast Black Jade Qilin (Peak of the Earth Immortal Realm)."

"Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Immortal Spring, the Immortal Clear Azure Spring."

(The Immortal Spring contains the Immortal Dao Rules and endless pure immortal energy. Absorbing it can enhance one's cultivation in the immortal realm and has the effect of changing one's talents.)

Inside the Azure Cloud Great Hall, the system notification sounded in Feng Qingyang's mind again.

After checking the rewards, Feng Qingyang exclaimed that they were amazing.

The system rewards this time are incredibly generous.

This Cultivation Enhancement Card is a great find. He's already at the Emperor Realm, which means that after using the Cultivation Card, he can step into the Immortal Realm in one step!

The mount, the Black Jade Qilin, is at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm, which means that the Azure Cloud Sect to oversee it.

As for the third Immortal Spring, that's even more incredible!

As we all know, a person's talent is determined at birth, and aptitude is very difficult to improve, extremely difficult, almost impossible.

As the saying goes, there is no such thing as an invincible physique, only an invincible cultivator.

While talent cannot determine a person's potential, what cultivator wouldn't want to have good talent?

Don't want your cultivation path to be smooth sailing?

To give another example, even if you have great talent and work hard, you can never surpass others in your entire life if you only work hard without any extraordinary encounters.

Feng Qingyang's eyes lit up as well; this Immortal Spring was simply powerful enough to rival the heavens.

It can be used to reward disciples in the future, so that even those disciples in the sect who are not very talented can undergo a complete transformation.

Because the first test was exactly what the Azure Cloud Sect had in abundance: disciples with poor talent but strong perseverance.

This combination is simply perfect!
