Upon returning to his quarters, the system's voice sounded in his mind again.
"Congratulations, host. Your second disciple has broken through to the Spirit Transformation realm. Feedback reward: one Samsara Secret Realm."
"System, the Samsara Secret Realm-does it contain the power of samsara?"
"Correct. This is a secret realm constructed from the power of samsara. Martial artists who enter it can undergo samsara, tempering their minds and wills while also honing their foundations. It is a special Emperor Weapon. One year inside is one month outside."
"An Emperor Weapon? Interesting?"
Ye Changge was very surprised. This second disciple of his truly defied the heavens. Breaking through to Spirit Transformation had directly earned him an Emperor Weapon.
Such was a ten-star prodigy, a reincarnated Great Emperor. She simply surpassed everything.
Soon, three days passed in a flash. During that time, his check-ins earned him imperial-grade alchemy, imperial-grade Sword Dao, and imperial-grade artifact refining.
Meanwhile, One-Line Sky was bustling with people as countless powerful experts arrived.
Heaven's favored children could be seen everywhere.
Beautiful women and handsome men were even more numerous than anyone could count.
Suddenly, a roar rang out.
An overwhelming pressure came bearing down on them.
"A Fire Cloud Beast! The Saber Sect is here. How overbearing."
"The Saber Sect follows the path of dominance. Seeing them today, they really are extraordinary."
"Yes. Look, that young man standing on the Fire Cloud Beast's back-could he be Ba Dao, one of the ten prospective sect heirs everyone's been talking about lately?"
"I heard Ba Dao comprehended domineering saber intent and successfully rose to become one of the ten prospective sect heirs."
"That's nothing. I heard he possesses some kind of tyrant physique. He's terrifying."
"No, no. Not only does he possess a tyrant physique, he's also the youngest of the ten prospective sect heirs. He's already a Spirit Transformation expert at just eighteen."
"An eighteen-year-old Spirit Transformation cultivator with a tyrant physique that has characteristics of the Heavenly Tyrant Physique? Isn't that too terrifying?"
The Saber Sect's elders soon landed, walked to the Saber Sect's recruitment area, and wrote down their admission requirements.
Rumble!
Before anyone could see what they had written, rumbling sounded across the heavens once more.
Clearly, a powerful presence had appeared.
Everyone looked up and saw a hundred-meter-long warship descending.
As it descended, the surrounding space shattered, letting out rumbling sounds.
"Fuck, the Star Warship! Isn't that the Artifact Sect's supreme armament? They actually came aboard a supreme armament. Truly terrifying."
"Artifact Sect, I love you to death! This time, I'm joining the Artifact Sect and bringing honor to my lineage."
The warship landed, and a woman in red stepped out.
Her gaze turned toward the Saber Sect.
"Saber Sect, you're here so early? You must have recruited quite a few prodigies already."
As her words fell, she glanced toward the Saber Sect and found no one there.
Everyone clearly knew this was a veiled taunt.
They all backed far away.
"Nishang, are you courting death?"
A domineering presence spread from Ba Dao's entire body, and his Spirit Transformation pressure came crushing down.
Whoosh!
"Ba Dao, your Saber Sect is still as overbearing as ever."
As the voice fell, a group of gray-robed men came flying on swords, each bearing a small sword emblem on his shoulder. Clearly, the Sword Sect had arrived.
"Jian Wuji, I didn't expect you to lead this recruitment expedition."
Hmph!
With a cold snort, everyone went to their respective places.
After they wrote down their recruitment requirements, people read them and began lining up.
The Saber Sect's disciples had even taken out a talent stone and begun testing.
Talent stones were special stones refined by supreme experts.
On the Heavenly Spirit Continent, people followed the rule that talent reigned supreme. Precisely because of this, disciples with good talent could attain the imperial throne even with mortal bodies, without special bloodlines or physiques.
That was why people used talent as their standard for recruiting disciples.
"Saber Sect, you're certainly impatient."
A Dragon's Roar rang out as experts from a holy land descended.
Men and women wearing clothes of five different colors stood atop an azure flood dragon. Clearly, they were from the Five Elements Holy Land.
"A Saint-realm flood dragon as a mount. As expected of the Five Elements Holy Land."
"Li Taixu, I didn't expect you to lead the expedition this time."
As the voice fell, a blue Azure Luan flew over with a cry.
Its terrifying saintly might blotted out the sky and sun.
"Liu Wushuang, that Azure Luan of yours really is delightful."
As the voice fell, a great cauldron came hurtling straight toward them.
Its raging flames were terrifying, like the end of the world descending.
"Fuck, Wang Chen, you old bastard! Are you trying to burn us to death?"
As the voice fell, all three sects, one pavilion, and two holy lands had arrived.
Recruitment officially began as well.
In an instant, One-Line Sky grew lively.
Multicolored radiance flickered across the sky like the light of chaos.
"Wang Xiaohu, green talent. Pass. Next?"
"Wang Xiaoyue, red talent. Fail. Next."
"Cheng Kun, orange talent. Fail. Next."
All sorts of voices rang out in front of the various factions.
Where some were excited, others were dejected.
All kinds of emotions intertwined.
Even if you were strikingly handsome or breathtakingly beautiful, without enough talent, you were only a fleeting passerby.
Time flashed by, and two hours passed.
More and more people underwent testing.
Likewise, all sorts of geniuses emerged.
Among them, prodigies with blue talent and various special physiques appeared one after another.
Talent colors were divided into red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. Reaching blue already put one on the level of a saint physique. Even those prospective sect heirs might not possess such talent.
The prospective sect heirs had not expected such an unexpected turn during this recruitment either.
It simply made their scalps tingle.
"What? Another blue talent has appeared, and at the Sword Sect's area at that? How is that possible?"
"Look, what intense blue light! Could some kind of saint physique have appeared?"
"No, what a terrifying presence. Could this be a supreme bone?"
"This is the supreme bone of metal, an existence unmatched in offense! Heavens, even something like this has appeared."
The sight startled everyone.
Even some powerful experts were alerted.
"Feng Chen, not bad. A supreme bone of metal, and a sword-type supreme bone at that, a metal-attribute supreme bone. Excellent. I am Jian Wuji, the Sword Sect's eldest senior brother. Since you are already a disciple of our Sword Sect, no one who comes today can change that."
Jian Wuji was immensely excited.
He had not expected to encounter someone on par with a sect heir on this trip.
Once a prodigy like this matured, he would have a promising future.
The metal attribute could already pierce through anything and possessed tremendous offensive power. This was also a sword-type, metal-attribute supreme bone, and swords were inherently unmatched in slaughter. Combining the two doubled its offensive power. If he did not perish prematurely, he would become another peerless prodigy.
"Eldest senior brother, rest assured. Since I chose the Sword Sect, I am naturally a Sword Sect disciple. Whoever comes, that won't change."
"Good. Seventh Elder, notify the sect master and have him send people to escort us back."
Hearing this, the Seventh Elder silently crushed a voice transmission talisman.
Afterward, the major factions began offering countless terms, all to recruit the prodigy with the supreme bone, but they were all rejected.
For a moment, things grew awkward.
Fortunately, no one made a move, and they continued recruiting disciples.
Four hours later.
The space above suddenly split open, and a white-robed young man holding a folding fan stepped out. Behind him followed two middle-aged men, as well as a young man and woman. Both were young, the man handsome and the woman beautiful.
"Fuck, who's that? Tearing through space to get here-could he be a Great Saint expert?"
"No idea. He doesn't seem to be an expert from any of the major factions."
Hearing everyone's words, Ye Changge and his companions did not dwell on them.
Their gazes turned toward a despondent young man.
Upon seeing Ye Changge and his companions, the people from the Nine Heavens Holy Land instinctively clutched their clothes and trousers.
"Shi Hao, young master of the Shi Clan, possessor of an unawakened battle saint physique. Talent: peak ten-star talent."
Seeing this, Ye Changge smiled faintly.
