"The Kouxian Gate sees you have a talent for farming. Go wait in the line for the Spirit Plant Garden over there!"
"You... you’re telling this Sect Leader to go farm!?"
A Sect Leader from a sect in the Outer Realm had just been happily bestowed the new profession of Spirit Plant Cultivator.
But in reality, being a Spirit Plant Cultivator wasn’t considered the worst assignnt in the Outer Sect.
The Steward from the Spirit Plant Garden, there to receive the new recruits, saw his displeasure but didn’t resort to harsh words.
He even stepped forward on his own accord to offer a brief explanation.
The forr Sect Leader had, in fact, already prepared himself ntally aboard the Flying Celestial Ship. He had just lost his composure for a mont.
After a few words of persuasion, he stopped arguing and obediently went to the line for the Spirit Plant Garden.
The fall in status was imnse, but there was nothing he wouldn’t endure for the sake of treading the immortal path.
Most of the people present possessed such resolve. They were all confident that they would one day soar to the heavens and reclaim the glory they once held in the Outer Realm.
And so, the Kouxian Gate continued its inspections for a long ti, yet no talent erged that the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect deed exceptional.
This situation finally changed, causing quite a stir, when Li Dingjie of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect—the one known as the Celestial Sword—passed through the Kouxian Gate.
The three great geniuses of the Great Yan Dynasty’s younger generation: Zhang Xun of the Xuanhuang Sect, Gongsun Jinghong of the Royal Family, and Li Dingjie of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect.
Zou Feng had heard of these three famous nas long ago.
However, with Zou Feng’s advancent to the True Qi Realm, he had killed Zhang Xun in a single move and later bedded Gongsun Jinghong into submission at Jinluan Hall.
At this point, two of the three great geniuses could be considered defeated by his hand—and one by his "rod."
So, Zou Feng had long since stopped taking the so-called three great geniuses seriously.
He hadn’t even noticed that this person nicknad "Celestial Sword" was among those who had been teleported to the Glazed Immortal Palace.
Later, after Jing Huaisong was thrashed by Gongsun Xiang and subsequently had a complete ltdown upon arriving in the Eastern Earth Immortal Realm, Zou Feng couldn’t be bothered to pay any more attention to these Sword Cultivators.
The reason Li Dingjie was called "Celestial Sword" was simple: the man was a natural-born swordsman.
Before he had even learned to walk, he could practice Sword Techniques with a tree branch.
He wasn’t just waving it around randomly; his movents were deliberate and possessed a genuine subtlety.
At the age of five, he sparred with his family’s guards and was never once defeated.
As Li Dingjie passed through the Kouxian Gate now, the stone pillars on both sides suddenly flared with brilliant light, accompanied by waves of harsh, unusual noises.
’To Zou Feng, it felt like watching soone from his past life get caught with contraband at a security checkpoint.’
"Eh!?"
"A reincarnated cultivator, just one who hasn’t awakened the wisdom of his past life?"
"You may enter the Inner Sect directly. Inner Sect Elders will be willing to take you as a disciple. If you do not wish to take a master, there are also organizations or individuals willing to sponsor you. Go on!"
Even Li Dingjie himself was quite surprised by this outco.
He had obviously never considered that he might be a reincarnated cultivator.
But of course, there was no reason to refuse the privilege of entering the Inner Sect directly.
He imdiately bowed to a nearby Steward and headed off in a different direction.
Li Dingjie was the first person to be granted direct entry into the Inner Sect.
Everyone who watched was filled with envy.
Zou Feng, however, noticed that while the reincarnated cultivator certainly received special treatnt, it didn’t seem to particularly shock the present disciples of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect.
Despite the talk of Inner Sect Elders being willing to take him as a disciple, not a single one had actually rushed to the scene in a frenzy to claim him.
From this, one could glimpse the foundation of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect—it was truly terrifying.
It was exactly as Chen Zifan had said: the so-called secrets of those from the Outer Realm ant jack shit here in the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect.
Within the Immortal Sect, there were plenty of great powers who had reincarnated to cultivate again, not to ntion those born already possessing Immortal Treasures.
At this thought, Zou Feng couldn’t help but look up again at the Celestial Dao Cauldron, faintly visible high in the sky and nearly as difficult to look at as the sun itself.
The heights the upper echelons of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect had reached, the extent of their power—it was simply imasurable.
’He just wondered if, one day, so of these higher-ups might also beco big shots on his list...’
Next, it was Jing Huaisong’s turn to pass through the Kouxian Gate.
Having just seen his junior, Li Dingjie, be revealed as a reincarnated cultivator and receive special treatnt from the Immortal Sect, Jing Huaisong couldn’t help but feel a flicker of anticipation.
’I’ve also been skilled with a sword since I was a child. Could I also be a great reincarnated power?’
"The Kouxian Gate sees you have a talent for farming. Go wait in the line for the Spirit Plant Garden over there!"
"..."
The hope that had just ignited was instantly extinguished. Jing Huaisong walked away, his eyes devoid of light.
Not long after, it was Luo Yingning’s turn.
She had been identified as a talent with a natural Spirit Bone from the very beginning, and the Kouxian Gate’s inspection confird it.
Thus, she beca the second person so far to be granted direct entry into the Inner Sect.
Before leaving, Luo Yingning deliberately turned back, her gaze locking onto Zou Feng in the crowd.
She shot him a glare brimming with ill intent before finally turning to leave.
Zou Feng, however, was completely unconcerned.
’Give it so ti,’ he thought, ’and it’s not so certain who will be refining whom.’
Soon, Zou Feng’s na was called.
Zou Feng wasn’t particularly concerned about what sort of assignnt he would receive.
As long as it wasn’t too much work and didn’t interfere with his Cultivation, he would be fine.
"The Kouxian Gate perceives in you the aptitude of a Spirit Chef. Go take up a position in the kitchens of the Dining Hall on Taian Mountain!"
Zou Feng looked up at the Kouxian Gate. ’This thing really is sothing else,’ he thought.
’It could even figure out that my original profession was a chef?’
’Still, it’s a relief it didn’t discover my List of Gods. This just proves my unique advantage is of an exceptionally high caliber; I didn’t na it the "List of Gods" for nothing.’
’As for why such a badass ability hasn’t unlocked even stronger functions, it’s probably because I’m still just too damn weak...’
