With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World Chapter 288 - 249: Nine-Petal Cyan Lotus Body (Part 2)

[You feel the stirrings of the world within the Capital City.]

[The turmoil seems to originate from the powerful nations north of the Great Liangg Kingdom. The Great Liangg Kingdom is rely affected, yet a large number of routed soldiers and broken forces have entered, causing great chaos. Among them, even so Immortal Masters have appeared.]

[In June of the year 11,321 in the Changtian Calendar, the State Preceptor beheaded a foreign Immortal Master. In August of the sa year, the State Preceptor killed a foreign monster.]

......

[In August of the year 11,321 in the Changtian Calendar, a new Immortal Master beca the National Guardian Master.]

[In September of the year 11,321 in the Changtian Calendar, your Martial Arts Cultivation reached Perfection, with no further progress possible.]

Innate Great Perfection...

How many years did it take Li Jin to achieve Innate Great Perfection?

And now Xiang Wuji?

Altogether, seven years! Only seven years!

From the ti Xiang Wuji began engaging with the Martial Dao in the Wen Family.

In seven years, from a person without any Inner Strength to becoming an Innate Great Perfection Martial Arts Grandmaster, capable of crossing waters and lifting cauldrons...

To say nothing else, when the Lan Family accidentally learned of Jiang Ming’s identity, they treated him with the highest Honored Guest Elder etiquette.

Innate Great Perfection, a formidable existence capable of battling Immortal Masters...

Even others in the city ca looking for Xiang Wuji’s traces.

[In September of the year 11,321 in the Changtian Calendar, the Ascension Conference officially began.]

[Immortal Masters ca from the north to assess talents.]

The Ascension Conference is sowhat different from Zhu Chen’s Dragon Gate Conference. The Cyan Cloud Sect, being smaller in scale, begins the Dragon Gate Conference primarily to find disciples with Martial Arts Cultivation, while seeking disciples with Immortal Talent is secondary.

Here, the Everlasting Sect seems to be much larger than the Cyan Cloud Sect, and not to ntion anything else.

Every recorded nation within the Great Liangg Kingdom is without exception a Mortal Kingdom under the Everlasting Sect, and their State Preceptors are all disciples of the Everlasting Sect.

The thod Everlasting Sect provides to the leaders of each country for assessing talent seems quite advanced as well.

Based on assessnts of mortals, nearly 40% of people who ca to the Ascension Conference had talents.

Six n and won in blue and white robes alighted onto the Ascension Platform forged by the Liangg Royal Family.

They varied in appearance and stature, yet all shared exceptional looks and otherworldly temperants.

These people casually cupped their hands toward the Emperor Liangg before beginning to converse with the State Preceptor.

Xiang Wuji watched from below, coldly.

He recalled what Zhu Ling had said... the chasm between Cultivators and mortals is imnse.

A typical Cultivator wouldn’t even regard mortals as the sa kind as themselves.

Now looking at it... even an emperor, in their eyes, is fundantally no different from a beggar by the roadside.

Xiang Wuji abruptly withdrew his gaze, hiding among the crowd.

A disciple of the Everlasting Sect glanced in this direction, finding no clues or traces.

"Let’s see if there are any good talents this ti."

"It would be best if there were, though the real focus is for us to find outstanding disciples ourselves."

"Brother, do you have any promising seedlings on your side?"

Clad in an Eight Diagrams Robe with Tai Chi White Boots, the white-haired and white-bearded State Preceptor paused in thought and said: "Good seedlings... there are quite a few this year..."

"But I’ve just co out of seclusion and haven’t had the chance to investigate thoroughly, though there seems to be so anomaly, though I can’t tell if it’s true..."

"An anomaly, huh." Soone sneered lightly. It isn’t easy for a body able to produce anomalies to appear; it’s probably nothing more than folklore among ignorant mortals."

"There’s also an Innate Perfection Martial Arts Grandmaster... not bad."

Upon hearing this, several people’s eyes brightened.

An Innate Perfection Martial Arts Grandmaster is quite comndable even without a Spirit Root, and partnering with Magical Artifacts and talismans, they’d provide considerable combat strength.

If a Spirit Root is present, then that would be outstanding.

"It seems we should look forward to this Ascension Conference... Senior Brother, why don’t we start now?"

The elderly State Preceptor looked at them with a complex expression before waving his hand to signal the beginning of the Ascension Conference.

Although now senior to his juniors, he was old, with no future... or rather, he had none at all.

But them, young with limitless futures.

How long ago was it... when this old one was one of them...

The State Preceptor looked at the eager-to-participate attendees below with a flicker of complexity in his eyes.

Cultivation... isn’t that easy...

"Five Spirit Roots."

"No talent."

"Five Spirit Roots."

"No talent."

"No talent."

"No talent."

"Four Spirit Roots, not bad."

.........

The colors of Flowing Light lingered on the towering Ascension Platform.

The commoners of the Capital City, not qualified to ascend the platform, looked up at the five-colored Flowing Light with yearning and infinite longing.

"Are you the Innate Great Perfection Grandmaster? So young... not bad!" Xiang Wuji went forward, feeling as though his identity had been laid bare by this man, whose appearance was almost the sa age as himself.

Such a feeling of near-sha, as though one’s clothing had been seen through, would likely provoke anger in anyone.

Xiang Wuji restrained his emotions and cupped his fists slightly.

"Hmm, acceptable."

There was a flash of satisfaction across the man’s eyes.

Not because Xiang Wuji’s Martial Arts Talent was incredibly strong, but because he was young!

No matter how extraordinary Martial Arts Talent was, it wouldn’t ultimately matter much; at best, it neared a Late-Stage Qi Refining Cultivator. However, being very young ant he would be useful for a long ti.

Moreover, his physical body seed sturdy, so tossing a few Body Refining Techniques his way could lead to further improvent.

For such martial power, having him as a Dharma Guardian was most appropriate.

The man pondered this but said nothing aloud, comncing the assessnt of Xiang Wuji’s talent.

A tri-colored glow shone, and the man’s pupils contracted.

"Three Spirit Roots!?"

"Three Spirit Roots!"

The others were also delighted.

This ant they would earn so rewards upon returning to the sect.

The arrogance on the man’s face before Xiang Wuji instantly transford into a cordial smile.

"Brother, what is your surna and na? I am Qii Xueyuan. You have quite exceptional talent; feel free to ask if anything puzzles you upon entering the sect."

"Three Spirit Roots? Not bad..."

"And being an Innate Great Perfection, I rember Uncle Wei Hong likes disciples who enter the Dao through the martial arts; maybe you’ll even be accepted by an Elder ahead of ti!"

Xiang Wuji smiled while cupping his fists, seemingly thrilled by his talent.

Yet a cold gleam flickered in his eyes.

He observed the others.

That attitude toward Three Spirit Roots... indicated it wasn’t particularly rare in the sect, just above average...

In that case... the sect was at least prominent among Golden Core Sects, with a certain likelihood of being a Nascent Soul Sect.

"Dao Body!!"

"How is it possible, Dragons and Phoenixes erging, myriad cranes carrying jade..."

Suddenly, faint phantoms appeared in the sky: dragons and phoenixes united, countless white cranes bearing jade erged, with mystical Immortal Qi sweeping through, making the Ascension Platform seem as its na suggested, as if Immortals were truly arriving.

Finally, a Cyan Lotus blood instantaneously in the air and vanished.

Xiang Wuji followed the crowd’s gaze.

"Dao Body..." The recently absorbed Cultivation Knowledge flickered in Xiang Wuji’s mind.

"Yet that is good, no one pays overly much attention to ..." Rather than being startled, Xiang Wuji was pleased. More actions can be taken only from a hidden hunter’s position.

Under everyone’s gaze, a raggedly dressed, matted-haired child, with an indecipherable gender, timidly surveyed the surroundings.

The child was dirty, their face smudged with dirt, their qualification to participate was unknown.

"Nine-leaf Cyan Lotus Body! And a Spirit Root... Anomalous Spirit Root Ice Spirit Root?!"

"Good, good, good!!!"

"Junior Sister, I’ll take you back to the sect imdiately!"

"Senior Brother, don’t scare the Junior Sister, co, Junior Sister, Senior Sister will take you back to the sect, where no one will bully you..."

Xiang Wuji pondered quietly; so it was a little girl...
