“Heaven Palace is the number one palace within the Mystical Sky Mansion, I can’t promise a lot if you join the Heaven Palace... However, if you can prove yourself in the Heaven Palace, I can guarantee the things you can get will be way more than the other palaces! In that regard, I believe the other Vice Palace Masters can’t deny this.” After The Vice Palace Master of Heaven Palace said this to Duan Ling Tian, he glanced at the other three Vice Palace Masters.

The three Vice Palace Masters could only smile bitterly when the Vice Palace Master of Heaven Palace spoke up.

The Vice Palace Master of Mystical Palace, Tian Ji, even grumbled, “Old Xiao, you’re not being very nice... It’s okay if your Heaven Palace wants ten people, but now you also want the most outstanding Saint Stage genius?”

The four palaces of the Mystical Sky Mansion, Heaven, Earth, Mystical, and Yellow were led by the Heaven Palace.

The Heaven Palace had the most powerhouses and had the best cultivation resources. Therefore the other three palaces were lacking compared the Heaven Palace in many areas.

Although Heaven Palace was good, it was also more competitive. One might not be able to receive the best treatment in the Heaven Palace with their strength and innate talent, but they might be able to receive the best treatment in the three other palaces.

Hence, for those who were confident, Heaven Palace was undoubtedly the best choice. Whereas for ordinary people, the three other palaces were the best choice.

“If you’re willing to allow Ling Tian, that woman, and man to come to the Heaven Palace, all the others will be yours,” the Vice Palace Master of Heaven Palace glanced at Duan Ling Tian, the female disciple from Tyrannic Saber Mansion, and finally the young sectless cultivator who was the last one to be eliminated from the pressure test.

The three people he named were the most outstanding people among the 37 Saint Stage geniuses who had come today.

After the Vice Palace Master of Heaven Palace finished speaking, the three other Vice Palace Masters did not bother responding to him at all.

What a joke!

If they could keep those three most outstanding talents, they would also be willing to only pick three people.

In fact, Duan Ling Tian’s heart had already moved when the Vice Palace Master of Heaven Palace spoke. The Heaven Palace was indeed his best option.

“Vice Palace Master Zhang, I’m sorry.” Faced with Zhang Qing’s invitation, Duan Ling Tian could only apologize.

“No harm done. Even if you don’t join the Earth Palace, you’re still family once you enter the Mystical Sky Mansion.” Faced with such a Saint Stage genius like Duan Ling Tian, Zhang Qing did not dare to be too rude even if he was the Vice Palace Master of Earth Palace.

With Ling Tian’s talent and strength, as long as he managed to stay alive, he would definitely be the Mystical Sky Mansion’s pillar in the future. It was not impossible for him to compete for the position of Mansion Master in the future.

There was no doubt he could become one of the Palace Masters of the Heaven, Earth, Mystical or Yellow Palace as long as he maintained his high innate talent.

Both the Vice Palace Masters of the Mystical Palace and Yellow Palace could only smile wryly when they saw Duan Ling Tian expressing his intention to join the Heaven Palace. Only the Vice Palace Master of Heaven Palace was sincerely smiling.

Since Duan Ling Tian had already made his decision, Zhang Qing could only shift his attention to the female Tyrannic Saber Mansion disciple.

“If I’m not mistaken, you should be the youngest granddaughter of the Mansion Master of Tyrannic Saber Mansion, Wang Fei Xuan?” Zhang Qing asked.

“Yes.” When she heard Zhang Qing’s voice, Wang Fei Xuan guiltily shifted her attention that was on Duan Ling Tian to Zhang Qing.

“I’ve long heard about you.” A smile appeared on Zhang Qing’s face. “Speaking of, your grandfather and I know each other... Why don’t you join the Earth Palace?”

In Zhang Qing’s opinion, since he had already made such a statement there was no way Wang Fei Xuan would not join the Earth Palace.

However, once he finished speaking, the Vice Palace Master of Mystical Palace, Tian Ji, began to try and steal her away before Wang Fei Xuan could even speak. “Girl, in terms of how close we are to your grandfather, Zhang Qing can’t compare to me... I believe your grandfather must have mentioned me, right?”

“Vice Palace Master Tian Ji, my grandfather often mentions you.” Wang Fei Xuan nodded.

“Haha...”

When Tian Ji heard Wang Fei Xuan’s words, he laughed with a knowing expression on his face. “If that’s the case, you should join the Earth Palace. With your innate talent and strength, in addition to the respect I have for your grandfather, I’ll never mistreat you.”

“Old man Tian, you’re too much!” Zhang Qing said in a dissatisfied tone as he frowned.

In terms of closeness, he had merely met the Mansion Master of Tyrannic Saber Mansion once, but Tian Ji could be considered as a friend to the Mansion Master of Tyrannic Saber Mansion. He had no advantage in that regard.

“Hehe.” Not only did Tian Ji not feel bad when he saw the dissatisfied expression on Zhang Qing’s face, but he even smiled happily.

However, the smile on his face froze very quickly. This was because Wang Fei Xuan’s voice sounded in a timely manner in his ears, “Vice Palace Master Tian, originally, based on the friendship between you and my grandfather, I would’ve chosen the Mystical Palace... However, I just made my decision, and it’s not the Mystical Palace. I’m sorry.”

Not the Mystical Palace!

When those words entered Tian Ji’s ear, it sounded like a clap of thunder on a sunny day.

“Haha...”

Zhang Qing laughed uncontrollably when he saw how stunned Tian Ji was. “Old man Tian, you’re dumbfounded, aren’t you? This girl from the Wang Clan is a sincere one. Since I was the first to invite her, she has to give up on your Mystical Palace to join my Earth Palace.”

“Humph!” Tian Ji glanced at Zhang Qing coolly as he snorted. Zhang Qing’s action was undoubtedly like rubbing salt on his wound.

“Vice Palace Master Zhang, I’m afraid you’ve misunderstood. I don’t plan on joining the Earth Palace either... The place I want to enter is Heaven Palace.”

As Wang Fei Xuan spoke, she glanced at Duan Ling Tian. It made his skin crawl.

This fierce Young Miss was not coming to the Heaven Palace because of him, was she?

One could not blame Duan Ling Tian for thinking like that. When Wang Fei Xuan announced her decision, she had been looking at Duan Ling Tian from the beginning until the end. She did not even bother to spare the Vice Palace Master of Heaven Palace a glance.

“Hahahaha... Zhang Qing, the place that Wang girl wants to join isn’t your Earth Palace. Didn’t you feel really happy earlier? Why didn’t I know you have such thick skin before this?” This time, it’s Tian Ji’s turn to laugh as Zhang Qing looked on awkwardly.

Earlier, when he saw Wang Fei Xuan rejected Tian Ji, he had thought she wanted to join the Earth Palace. Who knew he was mistaken?

“Heaven Palace welcomes you.” Upon seeing Wang Fei Xuan taking the initiative to join Heaven Palace, the Vice Palace Master of the Heaven Palace instantly smiled. At the same time, he glanced at Duan Ling Tian intently. He could tell Wang Fei Xuan was interested in this Saint Stage prodigy known as Ling Tian.

He had heard of Wang Fei Xuan previously. He knew she was already an Early Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivator. Although she was not very old, she was already close to breaking through to the Intermediary Refined Saint Stage.

Such innate talent would be ranked in the top ten even among the younger generation in the Heaven Palace.

‘Ling Tian seems to be even stronger than this Wang Fei Xuan... His cultivation base should be at the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage at the very least! An Intermediate Refined Saint Stage powerhouse below the age of forty... Even in our Mystical Sky Mansion, there aren’t more than three of them. He’ll be the fourth,’ the Vice Palace Master of Heaven Palace thought to himself as he glanced at Duan Ling Tian.

The depressed Vice Palace Master of Earth Palace, Zhang Qing, shifted his attention to the sectless cultivator who was the final youth to be eliminated, “You wouldn’t want to join the Heaven Palace as well, would you?”

“Naturally, Heaven Palace is a good place. However, I think the Earth Palace will suit me better.” Although the young sectless cultivator had an ordinary appearance, he looked amazing when he smiled. It was delightful that it made the others felt as though they were bathed in the spring breeze.

In his opinion, if he entered the Heaven Palace, with his innate talent and strength, although he would be able to obtain cultivation resources, it would not be as much as Ling Tian or Wang Fei Xuan.

He understood the saying. ‘It’s better to be the head of a dog than the tail of a lion’.

“Haha... Good! The Earth Palace welcomes you.” Zhang Qing laughed instantly after he heard the sectless cultivator’s answer while he looked at Tian Ji provocatively. Although the latter was envious, he ignored him.

Unlike Duan Ling Tian, Wang Fei Xuan, and that young sectless cultivator, the remaining thirty-four Saint Stage geniuses below the age of forty did not have a choice at all. They were directly split between the four palaces.

‘Eh?’ Duan Ling Tian who stood next to Wang Fei Xuan behind the Vice Palace Master of Heaven Palace looked around and noticed there were two familiar faces among the ten people chosen to join the Heaven Palace.

It was none other than Liu Jian, the nephew of the Second Elder of the Raging Wave Mansion’s Second Elder, Liu Hong Guang. The other person was the young genius who came with the Vice Mansion Master of Sky Hurdle Mansion, Ren Zhong.

‘If I have the chance, I’ll help them to return the favor to Vice Mansion Master Ren and Elder Liu...’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

He still felt bad every time he thought about the time he stood them up. No matter if it was Ren Zhong or Liu Hong Guang, both of them had taken great care of him during the Rising Sky Ranking Battle. Due to that reason, he felt guilty.

The Vice Palace Master of Heaven Palace looked at the group of people on the ground and said, “Disciples of each palace, please return to your respective palaces along with your Vice Palace Masters... As for the others, please leave the estate of the Mystical Sky Mansion. After 15 minutes, the disciples on patrol will be escorting you out if you’re found to be in the estate. In order to avoid injuries, please leave in within 15 minutes,”

The group of people on the ground were friends and families of the Saint Stage geniuses. When they heard the words of the Vice Palace Master of Heaven Palace, most of them turned and left.

“Hey! The one called Ling Tian, are you a sectless cultivator? How come I didn’t see any of your friends and family?” Suddenly, a soft voice sounded by Duan Ling Tian’s ear as a fragrant wafted in front of his face. It distracted him a little.

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. He could tell it was Wang Fei Xuan.

“All of the sectless cultivators are really amazing... First, there’s Li Feng and then there’s you. How monstrous! I really don’t know how you sectless cultivators reach such a stage without any support from a force,” Wang Fei Xuan exclaimed.

Li Feng?

After listening to Wang Fei Xuan’s words, the corner of Duan Ling Tian’s mouth could not help but twitch.

“What? You don’t know Li Feng?” Wang Fei Xuan asked.

“Of course, I do. Speaking of, he’s even a friend of mine,” Duan Ling Tian said with a faint smile on his face.

“What?!”

After hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Wang Fei Xuan widened her eyes immediately as an expression of amazement appeared on her face. “You... You said Li Feng is your friend?”

“Yes, What’s the problem?” Duan Ling Tian nodded as a smile slowly crept up on the corner of his mouth.

“Li Feng’s friend?” Although Duan Ling Tian did not speak loudly, his words were heard by many people around him. All their eyes instantly landed on Duan Ling Tian.
