Led by Spencer and several other Universe Level experts, Lu Qingshan and the other elites soon arrived at Heavenly Pillar Mountain's headquarters, Heavenly Pillar Planet.
Heavenly Pillar Planet looked like nothing more than an ordinary life-bearing planet. It had not been turned into a fortress of steel like Heavenly Eye Star, one of the nine branches, and fewer spaceships traveled to and from it than Heavenly Eye Star.
But that was only natural!
As Heavenly Pillar Mountain's headquarters, Heavenly Pillar Planet usually had at least several World Lord Level experts stationed on it, so there was naturally no need to worry about an enemy invasion.
If an enemy truly dared to invade Heavenly Pillar Mountain's headquarters, they would certainly be immensely powerful, and those technological weapons would surely struggle to have much effect.
After the spaceship carrying Lu Qingshan and the others arrived at Heavenly Pillar Mountain's headquarters, staff from the headquarters soon came forward to conduct the handover.
"Everyone, welcome to Heavenly Pillar Mountain's headquarters!"
The Domain Lord Level expert at their head, dressed in blue robes, soon addressed Lu Qingshan's group. "Being able to come to Heavenly Pillar Mountain's headquarters to cultivate is enough to show that your talent ranks among the very best in the entire Golden Lion Empire!"
"But I'm sure you also understand that competition exists everywhere in the universe! Although you have arrived at Heavenly Pillar Mountain's headquarters, you will still need to compete if you want to obtain more precious cultivation resources and better cultivation environments!"
"All second grade elites, step forward now!"
The blue-robed Domain Lord Level expert looked at Lu Qingshan's group, then pointed at a green-robed figure behind him and said, "You will follow him next. He will take you to the second grade elites' cultivation grounds!"
Hearing this, the green-robed figure behind the Domain Lord Level expert quickly took two steps forward and stood before Lu Qingshan and the others.
Of the twenty-odd elites who had followed Spencer and the others to Heavenly Pillar Mountain's headquarters this time, most walked straight over and respectfully lined up behind the green-robed deacon!
As for those who remained where they were, aside from Spencer and the other Universe Level experts, only Lu Qingshan and another young man of the Winged Human Race with flowing blue hair were left.
"This..."
Molik, who had spoken a great deal with Lu Qingshan along the way and even exchanged Virtual Universe numbers with him, could not help looking shocked when he saw Lu Qingshan remain where he was.
After all, throughout his earlier conversations with Lu Qingshan, he had taken pride in being born in a prosperous galaxy like the Nuota Galaxy.
What he had not expected was that Lu Qingshan, who had been so modest all along the way, had actually been playing the pig to eat the tiger.
After all, a first grade elite of Heavenly Pillar Mountain already held a status no lower than that of an ordinary Universe Level expert.
And Heavenly Pillar Mountain's Universe Level experts held far higher status than ordinary Universe Level experts elsewhere in the universe!
Star Level cultivators with powerful backing still had a chance of being selected as third grade elites or second grade elites of a major power like Heavenly Pillar Mountain.
But to become a first grade elite of Heavenly Pillar Mountain, no amount of backing would suffice. Only super geniuses with terrifying talent could qualify!
Since Lu Qingshan could be rated as a first grade elite, his talent was unquestionably terrifying. In the future, he would have at least a fifty percent chance of breaking through to the Universe Level, and even a sliver of a chance of reaching the Domain Lord Level.
To think Brother Qingshan is actually a first grade elite!
Molik could not help thinking to himself, I must make sure to get closer to him in the future!
As all sorts of thoughts flashed through Molik's mind, the green-robed deacon responsible for guiding them soon spoke as well. "Youngsters, follow me now!"
With that, the green-robed deacon quickly headed off in another direction.
Seeing this, Molik could only wave to Lu Qingshan, who remained where he was, before leaving with the green-robed deacon.
Once Molik's group had left, the blue-robed Domain Lord at the head of the group looked once more at Lu Qingshan and the few others who remained.
"To think Heavenly Eye Star managed to recruit two first grade elites this time!"
The blue-robed Domain Lord soon said with a smile, "It seems your Heavenly Eye Star will be able to take first place among the nine branches in the upcoming assessment!"
Hearing this, Spencer, who stood nearby, quickly said, "Elder Lin Tian, the disciple I recruited is still only a second grade elite. We don't yet know whether he can be rated as a first grade elite!"
"That's no matter!"
The blue-robed Domain Lord, Lin Tian, soon said, "I've already examined this youngster's information. He came from an indigenous planet, and his teacher is merely an ordinary Universe Level warrior who hasn't even comprehended a domain!"
"For him to possess an Earth Domain under such circumstances, his talent is certainly astonishing. Even if he can't be rated as a first grade elite now, there will surely be no problem after he cultivates at Heavenly Pillar Mountain for a while!"
"And this youngster!"
Lin Tian's gaze soon turned to the other young man with flowing long blue hair. "He possesses a Wind Domain after just over two hundred years of cultivation, and he's a spirit reader as well. Truly stunning!"
"I believe that in another few hundred or thousand years, Heavenly Pillar Mountain will have another special grade elite!"
Hearing Lin Tian's praise, a trace of pride soon flashed across the blue-haired young man's face, and he even cast a slightly provocative glance at Lu Qingshan beside him.
Seeing this, Lu Qingshan could not help finding it rather amusing.
It was only because the Virtual Universe Company had just been founded and the Cosmic Humans' Peak Genius Tournament had yet to be held.
Otherwise, this man would understand that his talents could not withstand a single blow before the universe's true top geniuses!
Only comprehending a Wind Domain after over two hundred years of cultivation-with such talent, he could not even break into the top hundred thousand of a Universe Country.
But that was only natural!
In the original story, aside from Luo Feng and his two brothers, even Nabini, the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield's number one genius, had only just managed to break into the Ganwu Universe Country's top hundred thousand, only to be eliminated soon afterward in the subsequent arena battles.
Although this blue-haired young man's talent was impressive, he could not even rank among the top ten in the Golden Lion Starfield, much less across the entire Heavenly Star Universe Country.
"All right!"
Domain Lord Lin Tian, who had also noticed the blue-haired young man's gesture, said nothing about it and instead quickly continued, "Terrance, Lu Qingshan, you two come with me! As for the rest of you, you may return to Heavenly Eye Star!"
"Yes!"
Lu Qingshan and Terrance answered respectfully, then followed Domain Lord Lin Tian in another direction.
Spencer and the others waited until Lin Tian had left with Lu Qingshan and Terrance before setting off back to Heavenly Eye Star.
