Starting as Peak Master, Sign In to Get Ultimate Emperor Armament!

"Indeed, he possesses a trace of my former style."

Hua Yunfei nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing his disciple so outstanding made him happier than breaking through his own cultivation.

It was a strange sort of psychology.

He finally understood why all powerful cultivators liked to take disciples and pass on their knowledge.

It was a different kind of pride.

"Daoyuan Zhenren."

Outside Daoyuan Peak, Xiaxuan Zhenren hovered with a woman.

Ninety-nine formations blocked them, preventing entry.

Hua Yunfei waved his hand, opening a passage and allowing Xiaxuan Zhenren and the woman to fly in.

"Master, the spiritual energy concentration here is dozens of times higher than at Lower Mystery Peak! My cultivation realm is even becoming unstable!"

"Hush! Don't speak. I brought you here for a reason."

Xiaxuan Zhenren led her to sit before Hua Yunfei.

The three sat facing each other.

Hua Yunfei picked up teacups and placed them before the two, pouring a cup for each. The tea's aroma was rich, imbued with the power of laws.

"Is this the disciple you've taken, Martial Nephew?" Xiaxuan Zhenren curiously observed Ye Bufan, who was meditating nearby.

The youth was surrounded by golden blood energy, exuding the aura of a dragon among men. Coupled with being Hua Yunfei's disciple, his talent was surely not low.

Out of respect, she didn't pry and asked directly.

Hua Yunfei nodded, "I encountered him by chance, and his talent is good, so I took him in."

Xiaxuan Zhenren smiled happily, genuinely pleased for Hua Yunfei.

The strongest peak of the Backer Sect had a new successor, a joyous occasion.

If it weren't for the incident with Tianji Zhenren, the Sect Master and his senior brothers would surely have come to offer congratulations by now.

Picking up her teacup, she took a gentle sip. "May I ask, Martial Aunt, what is your beloved disciple's talent?"

Before leaving the sect, Hua Yunfei had participated in the sect's triennial disciple recruitment ceremony, which lasted a month. However, during that entire time, he hadn't met any disciples who met his standards.

It was hard to imagine how high his requirements were!

In the current era, talent levels were divided into: Yellow, Profound, Earth, Heaven, Dao, Sage, Emperor, and Immortal.

Except for the Emperor and Immortal level talents, which were almost never seen.

For example, With Saint-grade low-tier aptitude, as long as one didn't die prematurely, they were guaranteed to cultivate to the Sage level at minimum!

In the current Heavenly Dao's Age of Dharma Decline, Sages were difficult to emerge.

Even with Saint-grade aptitude, it was hard to break through to become a Sage.

But such talent was absolutely terrifying; with just a stroke of luck, one could soar to the heavens!

Similarly, with Heaven-grade aptitude, one was guaranteed to cultivate to the Celestial Realm at minimum.

As long as they stayed alive!

Dao-grade aptitude guaranteed a cultivation base of at least the Approaching Dao Realm, capable of becoming an ancestor of a sect!

Heaven-grade aptitude was the most common among the top geniuses of major powers. Dao-grade aptitude was very rare. The appearance of Saint-grade aptitude could shake the entire Eastern Region.

After all, in the Age of Dharma Decline, not only were Sages absent, but the probability of Saint-grade aptitude appearing was also decreasing.

Those Sacred Land-level powers, their Holy Sons almost all possessed peak Dao-grade aptitude, and Saint-grade aptitude was also uncommon.

In a smaller region like the Wildlands Province, Accepting a Heaven-grade aptitude disciple was already incredibly rare, and Dao-grade was even more a matter of chance.

Xiaxuan Zhenren estimated that Hua Yunfei's standards were very high, likely only peak Dao-grade aptitude would satisfy him.

Hua Yunfei smiled slightly, looking at the meditating Ye Bufan with satisfaction, and said, "To be honest, Martial Aunt Xiaxuan, Bufan has Saint-grade low-tier aptitude."

He held back a little. He had initially intended to say Dao-grade aptitude, but Ye Bufan possessed the Ancient Sacred Body, and his aptitude was at least Saint-grade. This was not a secret.

If Xiaxuan Zhenren were to thoroughly examine Ye Bufan, she would surely notice his special physique, that he was a Sacred Body.

At that point, she would discover he had lied.

So, holding back just a little was sufficient.

Saint-grade low-tier aptitude was already quite astonishing.

The entire Backer Sect had no one with such aptitude!

Xiaxuan Zhenren suddenly stood up, looking at Ye Bufan with eyes shining, "Saint-grade low-tier! Is this true?"

"Ten times the price if it's false!" Hua Yunfei said with a confident smile.

Chapter 13: Incomplete Dark Night Immortal Body

Xiaxuan Zhenren stared at Ye Bufan, looking him up and down.

"Golden meridians, like divine iron!"

"Golden vital energy and blood, like a golden ocean, surging like thunderous waves!"

"Ancient Sacred Body!"

Although Xiaxuan Zhenren was hundreds of years old, that was not considered old for a cultivator. She looked only thirty.

Fair-skinned and beautiful, slightly plump with a voluptuous charm, her hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin, and she wore a daoist robe, giving her a unique appeal.

But at this moment, her composure was lost, and she was flustered.

She had heard of the power of the Ancient Sacred Body since childhood.

It was a lineage that could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Human Emperors!

The woman beside her also stood up upon hearing her words, her face etched with shock, her beautiful features filled with surprise as she stared intently at Ye Bufan.

"Slurp..."

Hua Yunfei calmly sipped his tea, looking relaxed and unconcerned.

He figured it must have been the same scene when the Dao Yi Immortal Sect discovered Ye Bufan back then.

Unfortunately, they lacked the capability and believed the Ancient Sacred Body's glory had faded, its path severed, making cultivation impossible.

They had missed out on a monstrous prodigy!

Fortunately, Ye Bufan possessed golden destiny and met him!

Otherwise, even if they had encountered an Ultimate Sacred Land-level force, without the Heavenly Emperor Scripture, any effort would have been in vain.

In this world, only Hua Yunfei could sever the path of the Ancient Sacred Body and help him cultivate anew!

Xiaxuan Zhenren voiced her confusion, "Martial Nephew, isn't the Ancient Sacred Body unable to cultivate? Why..."

Ye Bufan was already at the ninth level of the Vein Opening Realm, considered late-stage Vein Opening, on the verge of reaching perfection!

Furthermore, from her observation, Ye Bufan's cultivation was still increasing; he was currently in a state of enlightenment!

He didn't seem at all like someone who couldn't cultivate.

"Heh, just a little trick."

Hua Yunfei smiled faintly and said calmly, "Actually, the Ancient Sacred Body isn't incapable of cultivation; it just requires the right treatment."

"Master, this Daoyuan Peak Master is so mysterious, and so young and accomplished."

Beside Xiaxuan Zhenren, the young woman spoke in a low voice.

Xiaxuan Zhenren adjusted her posture and sat down again. "This is my youngest disciple, Mu Qiuxue. You haven't met her. She has been cultivating on Lower Mystery Peak all these years and rarely goes out."

A Peak Master's disciple was a true disciple!

The core of the sect.

Hua Yunfei began to appraise her.

Mu Qiuxue had a sweet appearance, with delicate features. She wore a white dress and had her hair in a ponytail, looking youthful and vibrant.

[Name: Mu Qiuxue] [Age: Twenty-four] [Realm: Second level of Core Formation Realm (Surface), Fourth level of Core Formation Realm (Actual)] [Identity: True disciple of Backer Sect's Lower Mystery Peak] [Cultivation Talent: Lower Grade Dao Talent]
