Ascension Realm Experts would only appear at a higher-grade Ascension Conference.
Thus, at the Heavenly Pride et, it was normally expected that only Tribulation Crossing Ancestors would appear, which was already the highest level achievable.
This ti, not only did an Ascension Expert appear, but it was also a veteran of Ascension.
For a figure of this level, their prestige had long reached its peak, and they truly didn’t need to seek any more fa in the Nine Provinces Cultivation World.
Actually, as soon as that ancestor made her presence known, many high-ranking sect mbers were sowhat puzzled.
However, it soon ca to light that it was because her Taoist couple was making an appearance, which clarified why this ancestor had shown up—an incredibly rare occurrence.
Everyone understood.
「Immortal Cloud Peak, Ancient and Modern Discourse.」
In the void, a full eight powerful beings stood, their faces smiling as they looked down at the nurous Heavenly Prides below.
In the center, a Pill Furnace appeared.
That ancestor hadn’t appeared in person, but this Pill Furnace was sufficient to represent her.
"Everyone..."
Granny Gu smiled and said, "The Heavenly Pride Rank has already been set. In this session of the Ancient and Modern Discourse, as usual, nine top cultivators will guide you juniors. They are: Cheng Tianyong of Sword Sect with the Yitian Sword, Fairy Ming Cang of Supre Mysterious Dao Sect, Fal General Wuque of Fentian Temple, Spirit Phoenix Fei Yu of Riding Phoenix Clan, Elder Shen of Realm King Sect, Walker Gu Zhen of Ancient Desolation Sect, Master Pujue of Heavenly Sea Ancient Zen Temple, Master Shen Ji of Tianji Sect... and our Dan King Sect’s Dan Saint Ancestor."
They were all famously strong elders from the Nine Provinces Cultivation World.
Their Cultivation levels were above Divinity Transformation, and so were even at the Crossing Tribulation Realm.
It couldn’t be said that they were all from the Righteous path.
Sects like Realm King Sect and Tianji Sect belonged to the neutral camp.
Of course, there certainly weren’t any from the Demon Sect.
However, the Demon Sect also had their exclusive event, so they definitely wouldn’t get involved in this one.
In the past, it was rare for disciples of the Demon Path to participate in the Heavenly Pride et. If they did co, they were most likely to be sent away; if their luck was bad, they could be captured directly.
To participate in such a et, if it were a ga, it would be akin to needing certain moral values.
And so events for the Evil Path required negative moral values.
"In the Ancient and Modern Discourse, rankings don’t matter," Granny Gu said. "It all depends on personal choice. However, everyone should know that not every elder is interested in all of you. The discourse is mutual; you must both be interested to engage with each other."
"Don’t force it."
"Moreover, the discourse relies on a sense of connection. These elders have limited Heart Power, so if too many choose them, it naturally wouldn’t be good."
In short, their patience was limited. After guiding two or three juniors, they would typically lose interest, so it was best for others not to choose them. Even if chosen, they would certainly refuse.
The crowd nodded.
"Of course, as the top ranker, you have priority in choosing," Granny Gu said, "and you also have multiple chances to choose."
Although rankings didn’t matter, being the top ranker definitely allowed for free choice.
"Wang Mu, who would you choose?"
Granny Gu paused and said, "You should consider it carefully."
Wang Mu pondered for a few seconds, then flew towards the side of the refined-looking Fal General Wuque from Fentian Temple.
Seeing this, everyone thought: Good heavens, he made a mistake and still isn’t hurrying to choose his own Taoist couple to apologize? Choosing another elder instead—what does this an?
Fal General Wuque—Fal General is a title, Wuque is his given na; Yan Wuque is his full na.
His grandson is Yan Wuxin.
He was the Deputy Temple Master of Fentian Temple, one of its two Crossing Tribulation experts, and a widely known expert in Qianzhou.
Seeing Wang Mu choose him, the two-hundred-year-old Yan Wuque was slightly astonished.
"Friend Wang... you chose ?" Yan Wuque’s eyelid twitched, and he glanced aningfully at soone nearby.
"I am a bit curious about the Fire Cultivation path..." Wang Mu said, "and would like to seek so guidance on this."
"Well..." Yan Wuque whispered, "then shouldn’t you have chosen the ancestor from Dan King Sect directly? When it cos to fire... she is far more formidable than our Fentian Temple?"
"What do you an by that?" Wang Mu asked, puzzled.
Mo Xilan is just an alchemist; how could she be more professional than you guys?
Of course... Yan Wuque thought. You aren’t a very dutiful Taoist couple, are you? You don’t even know about that ancestor?
"The Dan King Sect’s ancestor controls the Eight-direction Divine Flas. Her Divine Heart Fla can discern all things in the world, including All Heavens Divine Pills. Speaking of Fire Cultivation... well, even our Fentian Temple’s own founder received her guidance and consud special Fla Pills she crafted."
"Speaking of the path of Fire Cultivation..." Yan Wuque transmitted his voice, "nobody understands it better than her."
Wang Mu fell silent.
He had indeed forgotten about that. It seed true.
An alchemist, after all, is a master of manipulating fire.
Wang Mu thought for a mont. "Her Realm is too high; she can’t guide ," he said. "You would probably be more suitable, elder."
"..." Yan Wuque.
For a mont, he couldn’t tell if Wang Mu was complinting or belittling him.
"That won’t do either."
Yan Wuque shook his head. "I can’t guide you."
"..." Wang Mu.
"Why is that?" Wang Mu asked.
He really didn’t want to face Mo Xilan.
"No particular reason," Yan Wuque hinted with his eyes.
...Understood.
This is a threat, isn’t it?
Wang Mu frowned slightly, stepped down, then looked at the other elders.
That Mo Xilan! She was relying on her strength to secretly threaten the others, wasn’t she?
So I can’t even choose not to pick her?
Then, Wang Mu tried approaching others, but indeed... none worked.
All of them refused.
If it were any other year, this would certainly have been a huge scandal.
