Azurebillow Domain.
Limitless Sacred Land.
Inside a crude little house, Lin Feng let out a long sigh toward the heavens.
He had come to the Limitless Sacred Land three years ago, yet he was still only a registered disciple.
What was a registered disciple? It merely meant one's name was recorded, granting one the qualifications to participate in the sacred land's outer sect disciple examination!
The Limitless Sacred Land had as many as a million registered disciples.
"The annual outer sect disciple examination is almost here again, and this will already be my third time..."
"If I still can't stand out on my third attempt, I'll lose my qualification to take the examination and won't be able to join the Limitless Sacred Land!"
Lin Feng was unwilling to accept it.
The disciple examination did not require a specific cultivation realm. It selected the ten thousand strongest among the vast million registered disciples.
Lin Feng had failed to pass both previous examinations.
The Limitless Sacred Land had a hard rule: those who failed all three attempts would be directly eliminated and forbidden from participating in future disciple examinations.
After all, it was one of the foremost sacred lands in the Azurebillow Domain, with living Saints presiding over it.
Countless prodigies would crack their heads open just to enter it.
Without limits on the number of people, over the years, the registered disciples would number in the tens of millions.
How could becoming one of the top ten thousand possibly be easy?
Lin Feng came from the Great Yan Dynasty, where he had been considered a genius.
But only after arriving at the Limitless Sacred Land did he realize how small he truly was.
What did being a genius even count for? Genius was merely the threshold for taking the Limitless Sacred Land's disciple examination...
"Having transmigrated here, am I really destined to live out my life in mediocrity?"
The unwillingness in Lin Feng's heart grew ever stronger.
The strong could swallow the sun and moon with every breath, shatter stars, live long and enduring lives, and roam the cosmos.
Those were all things Lin Feng wished to pursue!
Just as Lin Feng's mood darkened, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind.
"The Strongest Plunder System has been bound!"
"The system's function is to plunder the traits of others. The host may choose to attach those traits to himself or to others!"
"The system grants the host the True Sight Eye. Every person's traits will be automatically revealed!"
"Traits are divided into different grades: roughly white, green, blue, red, purple, gold... White is the lowest grade!"
The few brief mechanical lines carried no emotion whatsoever.
Yet Lin Feng's body froze.
A system! This was the voice of a system!
Having read countless webnovels, Lin Feng had actually forgotten about this.
Transmigrators were supposed to come equipped with systems!
With the system's aid, he would surely be able to stand at the summit and overlook the world.
At that moment, an indifferent voice descended from above. "The outer sect disciple examination will begin in three days. Prepare yourselves well."
The voice rolled down like heavenly thunder, and Lin Feng's heart shook violently upon hearing it! This was absolutely an extraordinary Mighty Realm expert. The voice seemed to travel from thousands of miles away, reaching straight into his soul! The voice alone made Lin Feng feel the urge to worship...
This was a top-tier powerhouse! Terrifying pressure crushed everything beneath it!
Lin Feng was not the only one who heard that voice.
All disciples of the Limitless Sacred Land heard it.
"It's finally starting! I've waited for this day for so long! This time, I'll definitely become an outer sect disciple!"
"Once you become an outer sect disciple, you're a true member of the Limitless Sacred Land. When you go out among the great dynasties spanning billions of miles, you'll be treated as an honored guest..."
"I've prepared too much for this day! No one can stop me!"
Ambitious voices rose from all corners of the Limitless Sacred Land.
Naturally, Lin Feng was no exception. He had already risen to his feet, a sharp gleam flashing in his eyes.
Three days! Only three days!
Though the time was short, as long as he could plunder the trait of a genius, standing out would not be difficult!
With that thought, Lin Feng left the crude house and headed toward the core region of the Limitless Sacred Land.
Along the way, Lin Feng encountered many people.
"Swordsmanship Initiation: You possess a slight understanding of swordsmanship. Plunder?"
"Way of Nurturing Life: Your lifespan exceeds that of ordinary people by twenty years. Plunder?"
"Flesh of a Mortal: Ordinary talent, a mere mortal. Plunder?"
Lin Feng looked around and sighed inwardly.
The traits on these people... were all white, not particularly high-grade.
But on second thought, that made sense. If everyone had high-grade traits, how could they possibly be registered disciples?
Of course, plundering such minor traits had no side effects. How could Lin Feng let them go?
Even a mosquito's leg was still meat!
Lin Feng plundered Swordsmanship Initiation and the Way of Nurturing Life!
At once, he felt that he had gained the slightest bit more understanding of swordsmanship!
And invisibly, Lin Feng felt that his lifespan had increased considerably, while his vitality, energy, and spirit became more abundant.
Lin Feng continued onward in satisfaction, his complexion growing ever more radiant.
As for those whose traits Lin Feng had plundered...
They had been walking along excitedly, but their expressions suddenly changed slightly, as though they all felt they had lost something!
That vague, intangible sensation left them deeply puzzled!
Before long, Lin Feng arrived at the outer region of the Limitless Sacred Land.
This was no longer the territory of registered disciples.
This was... the domain of outer sect disciples!
Outer sect disciples were true disciples of the Limitless Sacred Land in every sense. They possessed identity plaques, and if a Limitless Sacred Land disciple disappeared outside, enforcers would investigate the matter. Their status could be considered quite high.
It was also a position coveted by all million registered disciples!
After lurking around the sacred land's outskirts for a long time, Lin Feng continuously plundered traits. Most were white traits, and they increased many of his attributes. One alone was not worth much, but accumulated together, the boost became rather terrifying.
The cultivation realms of this world were: Body Tempering Realm, Blood Tempering, Sea of Reincarnation, Palace of Destiny Realm, Dao Condensation Realm, Venerable Realm, Mighty Realm, Saint Realm, Emperor Realm... Each realm had nine layers.
Lin Feng was currently at the Blood Tempering Third Layer, placing him only around the middle among the million registered disciples.
To become one of the top ten thousand, he needed to be at least at the Blood Tempering Seventh Layer!
Or he would need to grasp Martial Dao True Intent, Weapon True Intent, and the like...
Time passed from noon into the afternoon. Lin Feng's harvest was plentiful, but he had not plundered any traits above blue grade. The highest was merely green, and it only strengthened the physique. He shook his head slightly, preparing to look elsewhere.
But just then, Lin Feng's pupils abruptly contracted, and his gaze shot toward one spot!
He saw a man in coarse linen clothes strolling calmly along. The man looked utterly ordinary, with nothing remarkable about him. Though he was an outer sect disciple, his bearing seemed no different from that of a registered disciple, embodying the very essence of keeping a low profile!
In the eyes of others... he truly was low-key. But in Lin Feng's eyes, golden light flickered above the man's head!
Because above his head... there was a golden trait!!
"Heaven-Defying Comprehension: Possesses monstrously extraordinary comprehension. Whether learning martial arts and divine abilities, cultivating realms, or comprehending Martial Dao True Intent... it brings immense benefits, a thousandfold, even ten-thousandfold greater than ordinary people!"
A golden trait?
Lin Feng's hand trembled.
He had originally thought that plundering a blue trait would already be quite good...
After all, this was the activity area of outer sect disciples, not inner sect disciples or core disciples...
Yet now, a golden trait had appeared before him—and it was an incredibly powerful golden trait!
