Already passed the first trial?
That newcomer?
Only been here for three years?
Passed?
Really?
¿¿
Yet other Saints seemed bewildered; what was going on? Who passed the first trial? Lin Saint?
Wasnât that a previous matter?
At this moment, someone noticed the boyâs figure in front of the cottage had vanished, causing their heart to skip a beat.
Flower Saint and Travel Saint thought of Li Hao the moment they saw Elder Wang. They immediately went to look for Li Haoâs shadow, but couldnât find him. Upon hearing Elder Wangâs words now, their hearts tightened, exchanging glances full of incredulity and surprise.
"Haotian, that newcomer, although heâs only been here for three years, has already passed the first trial, far surpassing your pace; you should work hard."
Elder Wang smiled, speaking calmly, but his words were like a sudden clap of thunder in the flat land, leaving those who were puzzled before feeling stunned.
In the crowd, Lin Saintâs eyes narrowed; his body seemed to tighten, blood almost freezing, followed by a tingling sensation on the scalp, looking at Elder Wang in disbelief.
In just three years, the boy who always tried to take shortcuts in front of the cottage actually passed the first trial?
How could this be?
This is absolutely impossible!
Lin Saint snapped back to his senses, eyes fixed on Elder Wang.
Ming Saint, Mu Saint, and the others were also stunned. Once they returned to their senses, they couldnât help but look at Elder Wang.
Back then, he said he would never give them any hints related to the trials, but now... has the principle changed?
Not only them, but other Saints also came back to their senses, looking at Elder Wang with eyes full of surprise and suspicion.
Elder Wang maintained his smile. Coming here, beyond explaining Li Haoâs situation, he anticipated that such a monstrous talent would inevitably trigger these young onesâ doubts and jealousy. He smiled and said:
"As I said before, I wonât give you any hints; you must rely on your own insights. The same is true for Haotian. Although I am fond of him, we only discussed Chess Tao and Immortal Elixir cultivation, never talking about Immortal Law. I havenât used Chess Tao to give any hints either, as it would be pointless."
When he said itâs pointless, he meant that if he were to help genuinely, there would be direct guidance without any need for subtle hints, and no one would dare to contest it.
Everyone understood this. Hearing Elder Wangâs explanation, they were stupefied.
With Elder Wangâs realm and strength, he doesnât need to explain anything to them, nor is there a need for him to lie, or rather, they arenât significant enough to force him into lying.
"For you to cultivate to the Holy Level, youâre dragons among people, peerless monsters, but in front of the Immortal Tao, even the dragons among people are just humans. Before the Immortal Tao, everyone is equal. Unfortunately, this world always has some exceedingly rare prodigies, able to easily cross even paths as difficult as the Immortal Tao, naturally possessing an immortalâs insightful root!"
Upon reaching this point, Elder Wang couldnât help but sigh, saying: "Passing the first trial within three years, is considered top-tier monstrous even in the True Realm. This cultivation speed, without other Immortal Tao familiesâ heritage and grounding, is enough to qualify even as a direct disciple of the Immortal Emperor!"
Ming Saintâs eyes flickered, and he said: "Elder Wang, are you saying, in the True Realm, there are indeed individuals who can comprehend the Yama Immortal Skill within three years?"
"There are."
Elder Wang said: "But extremely few, as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. However, to become an apprentice under the Immortal Emperor is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, an unparalleled monster among all realms."
Everyone fell silent, speechless in silence.
At this moment, they finally realized how vast the gap was between them and the top-tier monster Elder Wang mentioned.
This realization seemed to also offer them a glimpse into the terrifying competition and vastness of the True Realm.
Those groundbreaking talents, even though extraordinary, might only be considered excellent upon entering that realm.
"Then what about the direct disciples of the Immortal Emperor; how terrifying must they be?"
Mu Saint suddenly asked.
Elder Wang was slightly stunned, his smile vanishing as he fell into silence.
In his mind emerged a figure of eternal grace and beauty, an enchanting presence, yet during that Emperor fall campaign, she marched with the Heavenly Calamity Immortal Emperor and never returned.
She was the direct disciple of the Immortal Emperor, her monstrous level traversing all realms!
Even among the competitions and exchanges between the disciples of various Immortal Emperors, she displayed immense brilliance, poised as a candidate for future Emperor Level.
Yet unfortunately, sheâs already fallen.
"Direct disciples... they are extraordinary from birth, causing cosmic phenomena, some are reincarnations of Chaos Dao Seeds, others have Souls condensed by the True Realmâs Primordial Force, born as Primordial Spirits..."
Elder Wang spoke softly: "These Immortal Skills, they might only need half a month to master, and some even more astonishly might comprehend at a glance..."
His voice was low, as if reminiscing while speaking.
That was a time of remarkable glory; he once had the honor to accompany the Immortal Emperorâs direct disciple during cultivation, standing by like an old servant, observing.
In that courtyard, the peerless fairy danced gracefully, captivating the world, monstrously beyond compare.
All worldly Immortal Skills, could be grasped in just a glance.
Even the Immortal Path Laws taught by the Immortal Emperor, could be grasped with slight insight over several years, cultivation was as simple as eating and drinking for her.
Such a monster easily surpassed the so-called prodigies of All Realms, truly standing atop all worlds!
Listening to Elder Wangâs whispers, the eyes of those seated on the prayer mats bulged wide with astonishment.
They had never inquired about such things before, nor had they contemplated asking, but now, they felt their worldview shaken, simultaneously awed and heartbroken.
