In the Xuanhuang Realm, warships also exist.
Yet these warships differ greatly from those of the Xuanhuang Realm.
This is a difference in essence, not something to be compared directly.
Mountains and rivers fly past; in the blink of an eye, a completely different world unfolds.
Lin Fan stood there silently, not speaking or moving, but continuously sensing the scope of this world.
With Lin Fan’s strength, if it were the Xuanhuang Realm or even the Gusheng Realm, he could cover it all in a single thought.
But in this Endless Continent, it stretched infinitely, its boundaries impossible to sense.
The laws of this world were far more complete and powerful than those of the world Lin Fan had come from.
In the realm of Xuanhuang, there also exist war vessels. However, these war vessels are fundamentally different from those in Xuanhuang. This is a disparity in essence, not to be generalized.
As the mountains and rivers swiftly passed by, in the blink of an eye, it was a completely different world. Lin Fan stood there, neither speaking nor moving, but continuously sensing the scope of this world. With Lin Fan’s strength, if it were the Xuanhuang realm or even the Ancient Sage realm, he could cover it in a single thought. But in this endless continent, it was infinitely vast, impossible to sense its end. The laws of this world were more complete and more formidable than those of the world Lin Fan had been in. This was truly a paradise for the strong.
At this moment, the scenery ahead changed. Peaks stood like pillars of heaven and earth, one after another, winding upwards like coiled dragons, reaching the heavens. White clouds encircled them, the scenery was vibrant, a flock of cranes soared and chirped, and many disciples transformed into rainbows, darting through the sky and earth. Although they had not yet reached the peaks, a solemn aura enveloped Lin Fan.
“We have arrived, this is the Heaven and Earth Sect,” Qing Yangzi said, standing beside Lin Fan. Lin Fan nodded, the imposing aura of the Heaven and Earth Sect was indeed extraordinary, unlike any other. It was likely that no sect in the Xuanhuang realm or even the Ancient Sage realm could compare to it.
“The Heaven and Earth Sect has a history of hundreds of thousands of years, taking heaven and earth as its foundation, creating countless techniques. Disciples of the Heaven and Earth Sect must comprehend the true essence of heaven and earth to reach higher realms,” Qing Yangzi explained. Lin Fan listened attentively, not missing a single detail.
Upon entering the Heaven and Earth Sect, Lin Fan clearly felt a slight fluctuation in the void. Although this fluctuation was very subtle, it did not escape Lin Fan’s perception. This was likely the sect’s barrier.
The war vessel landed without attracting much attention. “Wait here, I will go report to the sect leader,” Qing Yangzi said, then instructed the disciples to accompany Lin Fan. Lin Fan stood there, observing the surroundings. The disciples coming and going were all quite skilled.
“Brother Li Qing, did you find any promising talents during your search for disciples this time?” a green-robed man passing by asked with a smile.
“Yes, this one,” Li Qing, with a square face, replied with a smile.
“Oh?” The disciple looked at Lin Fan but didn’t see anything particularly special.
“This is Junior Brother Lin Fan, with extraordinary potential,” Li Qing naturally knew of Lin Fan’s prowess, but he couldn’t reveal the news of Elder Qing Yangzi’s defeat. After all, it would be quite embarrassing for Elder Qing Yangzi.
“Extraordinary potential?” The disciple glanced at Lin Fan, still not seeing anything remarkable, then chuckled lightly, not taking Lin Fan seriously.
Meanwhile, at the sect leader’s location, Qing Yangzi reported truthfully, recounting what he had seen and done in Shenglong City, with a particular focus on the disciple Lin Fan.
“Sect Leader, this disciple is exceptionally talented, having achieved martial divinity without even reaching the True Immortal realm, truly a genius among geniuses,” Qing Yangzi said.
“Oh,” the sect leader exclaimed, showing a look of surprise. Achieving martial divinity without reaching the True Immortal realm was indeed a rare talent. However, Qing Yangzi slightly concealed the fact of his own defeat. It was too embarrassing to mention.
“Sect Leader, I believe we should focus on cultivating this disciple,” Qing Yangzi suggested. To maintain the sect’s strength, it was essential to nurture top-tier geniuses. This would also serve as the sect leader’s divine son. There were only ten divine sons, a fixed number.
“Unexpectedly, Qing Yangzi has returned,” at this moment, a flame tore through the void, burning it into nothingness. Seeing the newcomer, Qing Yangzi’s expression changed instantly.
Elder Fire! Elder Fire was born from the source of heaven and earth’s fire, possessing extraordinary strength and unparalleled control over fire.
“Sect Leader, I have discovered a disciple with an innate fire body and martial divinity, and have brought him back to the sect. It seems heaven is blessing our sect,” Elder Fire said excitedly, then extended a finger. A burst of flame erupted. This flame appeared to have no temperature on the surface, but its inner heat was intense, capable of burning everything.
“Ah!” The sect leader was startled upon seeing this flame, clearly recognizing its uniqueness.
“Sect Leader, this flame is a mutated heaven and earth fire. Although it originates from the same source as me, its potential surpasses mine,” Elder Fire explained. The sect leader waved his sleeve, releasing a powerful force that enveloped the flame. Gradually, the flame transformed, solidifying into the form of an eleven or twelve-year-old boy. The boy was entirely white, but his opened eyes burned with two flames, and a fire mark was imprinted on his forehead.
“Ah!” The boy suddenly spoke, and a burst of flame erupted. The void in contact with the flame instantly melted into ashes. The sect leader’s expression slightly tensed, and he extended his five fingers to block the flame.
“Truly extraordinary, to possess such strength at birth,” the sect leader said with delight, as if he had discovered a treasure.
Elder Fire smiled, “Sect Leader, I believe this heaven and earth fire spirit, with its nascent mind, should be listed as a divine son of the sect and nurtured well.”
“Yes, with a mind like a blank slate, instilling the sect’s ideology will surely make him devoted to the sect,” the sect leader agreed.
Qing Yangzi stood by, stunned, then hurriedly said, “Sect Leader, my…”
The sect leader waved his hand, “Let him be an inner disciple.”
“Sect Leader, the disciple I discovered…” Qing Yangzi argued fervently. Although being an inner disciple was good, it was incomparable to being a divine son of the sect. There was no comparison.
“Enough, the spots are limited,” the sect leader said.
Qing Yangzi was dumbfounded. The disciple he brought back was truly exceptional. How could what Elder Fire brought back compare to his? But now, it seemed there was nothing he could do. The sect leader had already decided. Was there any way to change it?
After the sect leader left, Elder Fire approached Qing Yangzi, “Qing Yangzi, I’m sorry. I just went out casually and found such a genius, stealing your thunder.”
“Hmph,” Qing Yangzi snorted, feeling somewhat frustrated. How should he explain this to the boy? After all, this was a peerless genius discovered by Qing Yangzi. No matter what, he had to make him shine brightly.
At this moment, the scenery ahead changed.
One mountain peak after another, like pillars supporting heaven and earth, stood towering into the sky.
Each peak twisted like coiled dragons, rising endlessly toward the heavens.
White clouds swirled around them, the scenery lush and vibrant. A flock of immortal cranes soared and called softly, while many disciples transformed into streaks of rainbow, darting through the sky.
Though Lin Fan had not yet reached the mountains, a solemn and awe-inspiring aura already enveloped him.
“We’ve arrived. This is Tian Di Sect,” Qingyangzi said, standing beside Lin Fan.
In the Xuanhuang Realm, there are also war vessels.
However, these war vessels are vastly different from those in the Xuanhuang Realm.
This is a fundamental difference, not to be generalized.
Mountains and rivers flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was a whole new world.
Lin Fan stood there, neither speaking nor moving, but continuously sensing the scope of this world.
With Lin Fan’s strength, if it were the Xuanhuang Realm or even the Ancient Sage Realm, he could cover it in a single thought.
But in this Endless Continent, it was infinitely vast, impossible to sense its end.
The laws of this world were more complete and powerful than those of the world Lin Fan had been in.
This was truly a paradise for the strong.
At this moment, the scenery ahead changed.
Peaks stood like pillars of heaven and earth, towering in the vast expanse.
One after another, dragon-like peaks stretched upwards, reaching the heavens.
White clouds encircled them, the scenery was vibrant, a flock of cranes soared and chirped, and many disciples transformed into rainbows, darting through the sky.
Though they had not yet reached the peaks, a solemn aura enveloped Lin Fan.
“We’ve arrived, this is the Heaven and Earth Sect,” Qing Yangzi said, standing beside Lin Fan.
Lin Fan nodded, the aura of the Heaven and Earth Sect was indeed extraordinary, unlike anything else.
Perhaps not even a single sect in the Xuanhuang Realm or the Ancient Sage Realm could compare to it.
“The Heaven and Earth Sect has a history of hundreds of thousands of years, creating countless techniques based on the principles of heaven and earth. Disciples of the Heaven and Earth Sect must comprehend the true essence of heaven and earth to reach higher realms,” Qing Yangzi explained.
Lin Fan listened intently, not missing a single detail.
Upon entering the Heaven and Earth Sect, Lin Fan clearly felt a slight ripple in the void. Though it was very subtle, it did not escape his perception.
This was likely the sect’s barrier.
The war vessel landed without attracting much attention.
“Wait here, I will go report to the sect leader,” Qing Yangzi said, then instructed the disciples to accompany Lin Fan.
Lin Fan stood there, observing the surroundings. People came and went, and the cultivation levels of these disciples were not weak.
“Brother Li Qing, did you find any promising talents on this trip to recruit disciples?” a man in a green robe passed by and asked with a smile.
“Yes, this one,” Li Qing, with a square face, replied with a smile.
“Oh?” The disciple looked at Lin Fan but didn’t see anything particularly special.
“This is Junior Brother Lin Fan, with extraordinary potential,” Li Qing naturally knew of Lin Fan’s prowess, but he couldn’t reveal the news of Elder Qing Yangzi’s defeat.
After all, it would be quite embarrassing for Elder Qing Yangzi.
“Extraordinary potential?” The disciple glanced at Lin Fan, still not seeing anything remarkable, then chuckled lightly, dismissing Lin Fan.
Meanwhile, at the sect leader’s residence.
Qing Yangzi reported truthfully, recounting what he had seen and done in Sheng Long City, especially emphasizing the disciple Lin Fan.
“Sect Leader, this disciple is exceptionally talented, having achieved martial divinity without even reaching the True Immortal Realm. He is a rare genius among geniuses,” Qing Yangzi said.
“Oh,” the sect leader showed a look of surprise upon hearing this.
Achieving martial divinity without reaching the True Immortal Realm was indeed a rare talent.
However, Qing Yangzi slightly concealed the fact of his own defeat.
It would be too embarrassing to mention.
“Sect Leader, I believe we should focus on nurturing this disciple,” Qing Yangzi suggested.
To maintain the sect’s strength, it was essential to cultivate top-tier geniuses.
He could also be considered a candidate for the sect’s Divine Son.
There were only ten Divine Sons, a fixed number.
“Unexpectedly, Qing Yangzi has returned,” at this moment, a burst of flame tore through the void, burning it into nothingness.
Qing Yangzi’s expression changed upon seeing the newcomer.
Elder Fire!
Elder Fire was born from the source of heaven and earth’s fire, possessing extraordinary strength and unparalleled control over fire.
“Sect Leader, I have discovered a disciple with an innate fire body and martial divinity, thus bringing him back to the sect. It seems heaven favors our sect,” Elder Fire said excitedly.
Then, with a flick of his finger.
A burst of flame erupted.
The surface of this flame seemed to have no temperature, but the heat within was intense, as if it could burn everything.
“Oh!”
The sect leader was startled upon seeing this flame, clearly noticing its uniqueness.
“Sect Leader, this flame is a mutated heaven and earth fire. Though it originates from the same source as mine, its potential surpasses mine,” Elder Fire explained.
The sect leader waved his sleeve, and a powerful force erupted, enveloping the flame.
Gradually!
The flame underwent a transformation, solidifying into the form of an eleven or twelve-year-old boy.
The boy’s body was snow-white, but his open eyes burned with two flames, and a fire mark was imprinted on his forehead.
“Ah!”
The boy suddenly spoke, and a burst of flame erupted. The void in contact with the flame instantly melted into ashes.
The sect leader’s expression slightly tensed, and he opened his palm, blocking the flame.
“Truly extraordinary, to possess such strength at birth,” the sect leader said with delight, as if he had discovered a treasure.
Elder Fire smiled, “Sect Leader, I believe this heaven and earth fire spirit, with its nascent mind, should be listed as a Divine Son of the sect and nurtured well.”
“Yes, with a mind like a blank slate, instilling the sect’s ideology will surely make him devoted to the sect,” the sect leader agreed.
Qing Yangzi stood by, stunned, then hurriedly said, “Sect Leader, my…”
The sect leader waved his hand, “Let him be an inner disciple.”
“Sect Leader, the disciple I discovered…” Qing Yangzi tried to argue. Being an inner disciple was good, but compared to a Divine Son, it was a world of difference.
There was no comparison.
“Enough, the spots are limited,” the sect leader said.
Qing Yangzi was dumbfounded. The disciple he brought back was incredibly talented.
How could what Elder Fire brought back compare to his?
But now, it seemed there was nothing he could do.
The sect leader had already decided. Was there any way to change it?
After the sect leader left, Elder Fire approached Qing Yangzi, “Qing Yangzi, sorry about this. I just happened to find such a genius on my trip, stealing your thunder.”
“Hmph,” Qing Yangzi snorted, feeling frustrated. How should he explain this to the kid?
This was the extraordinary genius I, Qing Yangzi, discovered. No matter what, I must make him shine.
It was likely that not even a single sect in the Xuanhuang or Gusheng Realms could rival it.
“Tian Di Sect has stood for over a hundred thousand years, creating countless cultivation techniques based on the principles of heaven and earth. All disciples must grasp the true essence of the world to reach higher realms,” Qingyangzi explained.
Lin Fan listened attentively, not missing a single word.
As they entered the sect, Lin Fan clearly sensed a slight fluctuation in the void. Though minute, it did not escape his perception.
This was likely the sect’s protective barrier.
The warship landed without drawing much attention.
“You wait here. I’ll go report to the Sect Leader now,” Qingyangzi said, leaving the disciples to accompany Lin Fan.
Lin Fan stood silently, observing the bustling scene around him. The disciples passing by were all of considerable cultivation.
“Senior Brother Li Qing, did you find any promising new disciples on this trip?” A young man in green robes passed by and asked with a smile.
“Yes, this one here,” replied Li Qing, who had a square face, gesturing toward Lin Fan.
“Oh?” The disciple glanced at Lin Fan but saw nothing particularly special about him.
“This is Lin Fan, a junior brother with extraordinary potential,” Li Qing said naturally, though he couldn’t reveal that Lin Fan had defeated Elder Qingyang.
After all, spreading that news would be quite embarrassing for Elder Qingyang.
“Extraordinary potential, huh?” The disciple looked Lin Fan over once more, still seeing nothing remarkable, then smiled faintly and dismissed him.
Meanwhile, in the Sect Leader’s chamber…
Qingyangzi honestly reported everything that had happened in Shenglong City, especially emphasizing Lin Fan.
“Sect Leader, this disciple possesses extraordinary talent. Though not yet a True Immortal, he has already reached the divine level in martial cultivation—an exceptional prodigy,” Qingyangzi said.
“Oh?” The Sect Leader’s expression shifted in surprise.
Someone who had reached divine-level cultivation without even becoming a True Immortal was indeed rare.
However, Qingyangzi had slightly concealed the truth. After all, he couldn’t admit that he had been defeated.
That would be too humiliating.
“Sect Leader, I believe this disciple deserves special cultivation,” Qingyangzi continued.
To maintain the sect’s strength, they needed to nurture top-tier prodigies.
These were known as the Divine Heirs.
Only ten existed, and the number was fixed.
“Didn’t expect Qingyangzi to return already,” a voice suddenly echoed as a blazing flame tore through the sky, leaving nothing but void in its wake.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Qingyangzi’s expression changed instantly.
It was the Fire Elder!
Born from the primordial fire of the world, the Fire Elder possessed extraordinary power and unmatched mastery over flames.
In the Xuanhuang Realm, there are also war vessels.
However, these war vessels are vastly different from those in the Xuanhuang Realm.
This is a fundamental difference that cannot be generalized.
Mountains and rivers flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was a different world.
Lin Fan stood there, neither speaking nor moving, but continuously sensing the scope of this world.
With Lin Fan’s strength, if it were the Xuanhuang Realm or even the Ancient Sage Realm, he could cover it in a single thought.

“Brother Li Qing, did you find any promising talents on your search for disciples this time?” a man in green robes asked as he passed by.
“Yes, this one,” Li Qing replied with a smile, his face square and resolute.
“Oh?” The disciple looked at Lin Fan but didn’t see anything particularly special.
“This is Junior Brother Lin Fan, a person of extraordinary potential,” Li Qing said, knowing Lin Fan’s capabilities. However, he couldn’t mention Qing Yangzi’s defeat, as it would be a loss of face for the elder.
“Extraordinary potential?” The disciple glanced at Lin Fan again, still not seeing anything remarkable, then chuckled lightly, dismissing Lin Fan from his mind.
Meanwhile, at the sect leader’s residence.
Qing Yangzi reported everything he had seen and done in Sheng Long City, focusing particularly on Lin Fan.
“Sect Leader, this disciple is extraordinary. Despite not having reached the True Immortal Realm, he has already achieved martial divinity. He is a rare genius among geniuses,” Qing Yangzi said.
“Oh?” The sect leader was visibly surprised.
Achieving martial divinity without reaching the True Immortal Realm was indeed a rare talent.

“Sect Leader, I believe we should focus on cultivating this disciple,” Qing Yangzi suggested.
To maintain the sect’s strength, it was essential to nurture top-tier geniuses.
Moreover, he could be considered a potential Divine Son of the sect.
There were only ten Divine Sons, a fixed number.
“Qing Yangzi has returned,” a voice suddenly rang out, accompanied by a burst of flame that burned the void into nothingness.
Qing Yangzi’s expression changed as he saw the newcomer.
Elder Fire!
Elder Fire was a fire spirit born from the essence of heaven and earth, possessing unparalleled control over fire.
“Sect Leader, I have discovered a disciple with an innate fire body who has achieved martial divinity. I have brought him back to the sect. Surely, heaven favors our sect,” Elder Fire said excitedly.
He then extended his hand, and a burst of flame erupted.
The flame appeared to have no surface temperature, but its core was scorching, as if it could burn everything in its path.
“Hmm!”
The sect leader was startled, clearly noticing the uniqueness of the flame.
“Sect Leader, this flame is a mutated heavenly fire. Though it originates from the same source as me, its potential surpasses mine,” Elder Fire explained.
The sect leader waved his sleeve, releasing a powerful force that enveloped the flame.
Gradually, the flame transformed, solidifying into the form of a boy around eleven or twelve years old.
The boy’s skin was pale, but his eyes burned with two flames, and a fire mark was etched on his forehead.
“Ah!”
The boy opened his mouth, and a burst of flame erupted, instantly melting the void into ashes.
The sect leader’s expression tightened slightly as he extended his hand, blocking the flame.
“Truly extraordinary. To possess such strength at birth,” the sect leader said with delight, as if he had discovered a treasure.
Elder Fire smiled. “Sect Leader, I believe this heavenly fire spirit, with its nascent mind, should be designated as a Divine Son of the sect and nurtured carefully.”
“Yes, his mind is like a blank slate. Infusing him with the sect’s ideology will ensure his loyalty to the sect,” the sect leader agreed.
Qing Yangzi stood by, stunned, then quickly interjected, “Sect Leader, my disciple…”
The sect leader waved his hand. “Let him be an inner disciple.”
“Sect Leader, the disciple I discovered…” Qing Yangzi pressed on. Though being an inner disciple was good, it was incomparable to being a Divine Son.
There was simply no comparison.
“That’s enough. The positions are limited,” the sect leader said.
Qing Yangzi was dumbfounded. The disciple he had brought back was exceptional.
How could Elder Fire’s find compare to his?
But now, it seemed there was nothing he could do.
The sect leader had made his decision. What else could be done?
After the sect leader left, Elder Fire approached Qing Yangzi. “Qing Yangzi, I’m sorry. I just happened to find such a genius on my trip, stealing your thunder.”
“Hmph,” Qing Yangzi snorted, feeling frustrated. How was he going to explain this to Lin Fan?
This was the peerless genius he had discovered. No matter what, he had to ensure Lin Fan shone brightly.
He then extended his finger.
A burst of flame erupted forth.
On the surface, the flame seemed cold, but its internal temperature was scorching, as if capable of burning away all existence.
“Ah!”
The Sect Leader was visibly startled upon seeing the flame, clearly sensing its uniqueness.
In the realm of Xuanhuang, there also exist war vessels.
However, these war vessels are fundamentally different from those in Xuanhuang.
This is an essential disparity that cannot be generalized.
Mountains and rivers swiftly pass by, and in the blink of an eye, a new world unfolds.
Lin Fan stood there, silent and motionless, continuously sensing the scope of this world.
With Lin Fan’s strength, if it were the realm of Xuanhuang or even the ancient sacred realm, he could cover it in a single thought.
But in this boundless continent, it is infinitely vast, and he couldn’t sense its end.
The laws of this world are more complete and powerful compared to the world Lin Fan had been in.
This is truly a paradise for the strong.
At this moment, the scenery ahead changed.
Peaks stood like pillars of heaven and earth, towering within the world.
One after another, like coiled dragons, the peaks stretched upwards, reaching the heavens.
White clouds encircled the vibrant scenery, a flock of cranes soared and chirped, and numerous disciples transformed into rainbows, darting through the sky.
Although they hadn’t yet reached the peaks, a solemn aura enveloped Lin Fan.
“We’ve arrived. This is the Heaven and Earth Sect,” Qing Yangzi said, standing beside Lin Fan.
Lin Fan nodded. The aura of the Heaven and Earth Sect was indeed extraordinary, unlike anything else.
Perhaps not even a single sect in the realms of Xuanhuang or the ancient sacred realm could compare.

Lin Fan listened attentively, not missing a single piece of information.
Upon entering the Heaven and Earth Sect, Lin Fan clearly felt a slight ripple in the void. Though subtle, it didn’t escape his perception.
This was likely the sect’s barrier.
The war vessel landed without drawing much attention.
“Wait here. I’ll go report to the sect leader,” Qing Yangzi said, then left Lin Fan in the care of the disciples.
Lin Fan stood there, observing the surroundings. The disciples coming and going were all quite skilled.

To maintain the sect’s strength, it was essential to cultivate top-tier geniuses.
This disciple could also be considered a potential candidate for the sect’s Divine Son.
The Divine Sons were limited to ten, a fixed number.
“Qing Yangzi has returned,” a voice suddenly rang out, accompanied by a burst of flame that scorched the void.
Qing Yangzi’s expression changed upon seeing the newcomer.
Elder Huo!
Elder Huo was a fire spirit born from the essence of heaven and earth, possessing extraordinary strength and unparalleled control over fire.
“Sect Leader, I have discovered a disciple with an innate fire body and divine martial arts. I have brought him back to the sect. It seems heaven favors our sect,” Elder Huo said excitedly.
He then extended a finger, and a burst of flame erupted.
The flame appeared to have no surface temperature, but its inner heat was intense, as if it could burn everything.
“Oh!”
The sect leader was startled upon seeing the flame, clearly recognizing its uniqueness.
“Sect Leader, this flame is a mutated heaven and earth fire. Though it originates from the same source as me, its potential surpasses mine,” Elder Huo explained.
The sect leader flicked his sleeve, releasing a powerful force that enveloped the flame.
Gradually, the flame transformed, solidifying into the shape of a boy about eleven or twelve years old.
The boy’s skin was snow-white, but his eyes burned with two flames, and a fire mark adorned his forehead.
“Ah!”
The boy opened his mouth, and a burst of flame erupted, instantly melting the void into ashes.
The sect leader’s expression tightened slightly, and he extended his hand to block the flame.
“Truly extraordinary, to possess such strength at birth,” the sect leader said with delight, as if he had discovered a treasure.
Elder Huo smiled, “Sect Leader, I believe this heaven and earth fire spirit, with its nascent mind, should be designated as a Divine Son of the sect and nurtured carefully.”
“Agreed. With a mind as blank as a slate, instilling the sect’s ideology will ensure his loyalty,” the sect leader said.
Qing Yangzi stood by, stunned, then hurriedly said, “Sect Leader, my disciple…”
The sect leader waved his hand, “Let him be an inner disciple.”
“Sect Leader, the disciple I discovered…” Qing Yangzi pressed on. While being an inner disciple was good, it was incomparable to being a Divine Son.
There was simply no comparison.
“Enough, the positions are limited,” the sect leader said.
Qing Yangzi was dumbfounded. The disciple he had brought back was truly exceptional.
How could Elder Huo’s find compare to his?
But now, it seemed there was nothing he could do.
The sect leader had made his decision. What else could be done?
After the sect leader left, Elder Huo approached Qing Yangzi, “Qing Yangzi, my apologies. I just happened to find such a genius during my trip, stealing your thunder.”
“Hmph,” Qing Yangzi snorted, feeling a bit frustrated. How should he explain this to Lin Fan?
This was the extraordinary genius he had discovered. No matter what, he had to ensure Lin Fan shone brightly.
The Sect Leader flicked his sleeve, unleashing a mighty force that enveloped the flame.
Gradually, the flame began to change.
It solidified, taking the form of a boy around eleven or twelve years old.
The boy was completely white, but his eyes burned with twin flames. A flaming mark was imprinted on his forehead.
“Ah!”
The boy opened his mouth, and a surge of flame erupted forth. The void itself melted upon contact, turning to ash.
The Sect Leader’s expression darkened slightly as he spread his fingers wide, blocking the flames.
“Truly extraordinary. Possessing such power at birth,” the Sect Leader said joyfully, as if discovering a priceless treasure.
The Fire Elder smiled, “Sect Leader, I believe this Flame Spirit has just awakened. He should be selected as a Divine Heir and cultivated accordingly.”
“Mm, acceptable. His mind is like blank paper—instilling the sect’s ideology will ensure his unwavering loyalty,” the Sect Leader agreed.
Qingyangzi, standing to the side, was momentarily stunned before hurriedly speaking up, “Sect Leader, my—”
The Sect Leader waved his hand, “Make him an inner sect disciple.”
“Sect Leader, the disciple I discovered—” Qingyangzi tried desperately to argue. Inner sect disciples were good, but compared to Divine Heirs, the difference was like heaven and earth.
There was simply no comparison.
“Enough. The quota is limited,” the Sect Leader declared.
Qingyangzi was momentarily stunned. The disciple he had brought back was incredibly talented.
How could this fire spirit possibly compare?
But now, what could he say?
Once the Sect Leader had made a decision, there was little he could do.
After the Sect Leader departed, the Fire Elder approached Qingyangzi with a smirk.
“Apologies, Qingyangzi. I just happened to find such an exceptional talent, unintentionally stealing your thunder.”
“Hmph,” Qingyangzi snorted coldly, feeling momentarily frustrated. How was he supposed to explain this to the young man?
This was the peerless prodigy he had discovered. No matter what, he would find a way to let him shine brightly.
