“The Landscape Martial Soul is certainly powerful, but if you can’t control it, you will not live past 16 years old. Even if you survive, you have seen today’s scene. There is no lack of people who want the Landscape Martial Soul. This martial soul will never belong to anyone. It is rather taken by virtuous people!”
White Cloud Great Master explained, “As long as the person possessing the Landscape Martial Soul dies in battle, this soul will be transferred to another.”
“Then, wouldn’t the person possessing the Landscape Martial Soul become the target of public criticism?”
Lin Ze exclaimed.
“That’s right, but a treasure is a treasure. Even like that, there will still be countless people vying to fight for it. This, in itself, is a cruel elimination competition where elimination means death.”
White Cloud Great master nodded and added: “However, besides the Landscape Martial Soul, it is definitely a good opportunity for you and the others. The reappearance of the twelve sects might lead to a bloody storm, but at the same time, it will also give you all more opportunities to advance.”
“That’s right! Great Master’s words are very true.”
Qi Yuan also nodded and said: “I once hoped to join Moonlight Sect, which is one of the twelve sects. This was my lifelong wish. It’s a pity that my cultivation level was too lacking, and I failed even the initial assessment of Moonlight Sect.”
“No way! Brother Qi, you are a peak existence among Peak Rank Nine Martial Vein powerhouses, but you actually couldn’t even pass the initial assessment?”
General Ninth Month asked in shock.
“Humph, that’s nothing! Don’t forget that this old man is just an outer disciple of the Moonlight Sect; moreover, I am one of the most useless among the outer disciples.”
White Cloud Great Master snorted and said: “Do you really think that entering twelve sects is easy? Before stepping into the Transcendent Realm, don’t even think about it!”
When he said these words, White Cloud Great Master seemed to have great unwillingness and helplessness.
He wasn’t young anymore, but he was only an outer disciple of Moonlight Sect; moreover, he was a bottom-ranked outer disciple.
This made Ling Xiao think about his situation in the Ling Clan. At that time, he had been afraid of being driven out every day and wouldn’t be able to practice martial arts.
He guessed that the days of White Cloud Great Master had been difficult in Moonlight Sect.
“Isn’t the Transcendent Realm the pinnacle of martial arts?”
Shi Lei couldn’t help but ask.
“Pinnacle of martial arts? Hahahaha.”
White Cloud Great Master laughed and said: “Aren’t you underestimating martial arts a bit too much? To put it bluntly, below the Transcendent Realm, all are just ants. The martial arts you learned are just an emasculated version. As for real martial arts, only those above the Transcendent Realm can learn and comprehend them.”
“The nine ranks of the Martial Vein Realm are just the foundation, and the Transcendent Realm is just the beginning. This old man is just a Rank One Transcendent. In the Transcendent Realm, it’s the lowest level. Just now, if it weren’t for that person from Sword King Sect, that disciple of Beast King Palace could have easily killed us all like a group of ants.”
White Cloud Great Master’s words were too shocking.
Many martial artists who had cultivated strenuously were simply unable to accept these words.
If the Transcendent Realm was just the beginning, they who had pursued Rank Nine Martial Vein Realm throughout their lives…What would they count for?
The strongest among ants?
That was still an ant.
Ling Xiao suddenly thought of that blue-robed woman he had encountered in the Crouching Dragon Mountain Range.
That blue-robed woman had definitely been a transcendent martial artist. But if he thought about it carefully, she might be even stronger than those experts from Sword King Sect and Beast King Palace.
Ordinary martial artists were discouraged and fell into despair, but the talented martial artists were filled with great expectation upon hearing the words of White Cloud Great Master.
They understood that there was always hope in the midst of a crisis.
For them, the next goal was to strive to enter those hidden sects.
Even if it was impossible to enter those twelve sects, it was better to enter the other sects second to those twelve sects.
What Heavenly Ren Academy, what Hidden Dragon Battalion? Compared to those hidden sects, they were simply worth not mentioning.
“Qi Yuan, when you went to Moonlight Sect this time, was there any change?”
White Cloud Great Master’s sect was Moonlight Sect. Merely, because he was too old and weak, he had been unqualified to enter for a long time. Therefore, he had long given up on it.
It was not much different from being expelled. Merely, it had not been officially announced.
Moonlight Sect had given a condition to White Cloud Great Master that if he wanted to return, he had to find at least one true genius to enter with him.
This was also why White Cloud Great Master had always been desperately looking for talented martial artists.
Merely, it was a pity that among those so-called geniuses, the only ones who could truly enter his eyes were Zuo Leng and Ming Tian. As for the others, they were nothing.
Ling Yixue’s talent was amazing, but she was from the Soul Race. She might not even be able to join Moonlight Sect. This was the reason he was unwilling to focus on cultivating her.
“Replying to Great Master, due to the appearance of the Landscape Martial Soul, Moonlight Sect and the other sects are all preparing to expand their strength and recruit disciples. Presumably, they will slightly lower their previous requirements. As long as you advance to Rank Nine Martial Vein, it will be possible to pass the initial assessment even if you haven’t stepped into the Transcendent Realm.”
Qi Yuan replied.
“Then, why haven’t you passed it yet?”
White Cloud Great Master frowned and asked.
“I’m ashamed. Among Rank Nine powerhouses, those who can pass the assessment are true geniuses.”
Qi Yuan bitterly smiled: “Although I’m strong, I couldn’t even pass the criteria of Seven Star Flower. This is the most basic assessment. Only the geniuses with five stars or more are eligible to take the remaining assessments.”
“It turns out to be like that. So, does the sect want to expand?”
“Yes, when I was returning, I saw Moonlight Sect’s announcement. Three months later, there will be a large-scale recruitment.”
Qi Yuan replied.
“Well, if that’s the case, I should be notified soon.”
Just after he spoke, a red shadow suddenly flew over from a kilometer away.
White Cloud Great Master reached out his hand and caught it. It was a sealed letter.
This light letter had been thrown from a kilometer away but accurately reached its destination. Only Transcendent Realm experts would have such a mastery over true essence.
“Sure enough!”
White Cloud Great Master was overjoyed after opening the letter.
“After three months, Moonlight Sect will recruit disciples. At that time, this old man can recommend three people to go. These three people don’t need to take the test of Seven Star Flower and the preselection, they can directly take the initial assessment.”
As soon as he said these words, the hearts of his true disciples like Ling Yixue and Dai Yuling moved.
Since White Cloud Great Master could recommend three, he would definitely recommend Zuo Leng and Ming Tian. There was no doubt about it.
As for the third spot, one would be chosen between Dai Yuling and Ling Yixue.
There was no hope for the other entry disciples.
However, no one was willing to give up such a chance.
“You all, there’s no need to be discouraged. This time, Moonlight Sect will recruit from the entire Northern Han Country. All people within the territory of Northern Han Country including the Ren Race and Blue-Eyed Race are eligible.”
White Cloud Great Master laughed: “This Master will not be partial. At that time, as long as your potential is above five-star, your strength will decide who will go to Moonlight Sect.”
After speaking, he didn’t stay here. He turned around and left.
His words, however, were just pleasantries. If anyone had the potential of five-star or above, he or she would have already become his true disciple long ago. Who would be just an entry disciple?
However, these words reminded Ling Xiao.
He felt that it was very unlikely for White Cloud Great Master to recommend him. But as long as he defeated Zuo Leng or Ming Tian, White Cloud Great Master wouldn’t be able to stop him.
