Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses

Chapter 507: Chapter 223: Refusing to Join! Too Proud!_5

That’s no good, but it’s fine, the disciples will slowly find their way, no rush.

Looking at the Sect Leader Senior Brother who had returned to his side, Shen Qinghan couldn’t help but smile and said, ”Sect Leader Senior Brother, you were rejected, weren’t you?”

”Yes.” Yuchi smiled sheepishly as he scratched his head.

”It’s alright, that’s her loss!” Xu Feiling said earnestly.

The other disciples agreed, thinking whoever made such a move was not clever; as for rejecting the entry to the Ascension Gate, it didn’t matter. You can’t force a square peg into a round hole.

And this woman clearly saw the situation not far away, yet remained boastful:

”Do you think I, alone, can’t compete with you? In the end, you’re just a small sect, pretending to be great. Is it necessary?”

”As for this young Sect Leader, at a glance, he’s from some big family, using family money to casually buy some disciples and putting on a show. I’ve seen countless young sect leaders like him, all too self-important.”

”Besides, with my strong talent, I can handle such matters alone. Do I need help from others? What a joke! Only cattle need to group together; predators travel alone!”

The more the woman thought, the prouder she became. Could there be a problem with my seventh-grade talent? If it’s made known, many would scramble to fight for me! But I don’t need to join other sects; I just want to handle these things on my own!

...

The immortal ship flew all the way and finally arrived at an Immortal Island, which itself resembled a large city, roughly the scale of Xufu Town, not too exaggerated, yet filled with various arenas, big and small, chaotic yet numerous, like a swarm of mosquitoes. To Yuchi, this Immortal Island was like replacing all the people from Xufu Town with cultivators.

Traveling through towering mountains and vast rivers, there was nothing about this Immortal Island worth being awed. It was nothing more than a lonely little island in some unknown sea.

The Immortal Island itself wasn’t special; each arriving immortal ship carried their own cultivators, who were truly diverse. Their attire and styles were vastly different, and the island also provided free elixirs that enhance dual cultivation effects.

Apparently, the island figured this whole thing out.

Upon disembarking from the immortal ship, free talent testing was seen immediately. This was provided by the Immortal Island, though it wasn’t mandatory, since talent is like a secret to each cultivator, often only known to loved ones or the sect leader.

Sect testing talent is practically non-existent; it’s conducted one-on-one in a quiet room, away from prying eyes in the Martial Arts Arena, so whether one’s talent is awesome or mediocre, it’s each cultivator’s secret.

Thus, it doesn’t lead to situations from many stories where public talent tests cause mockery or raised suspicions. No one is foolish, knowing what should and shouldn’t be done.

Now, would someone test their talent at this moment? Yes, but very few.

Why would someone publicly show their talent? Because the host offers rewards, simply testing your talent earns some Spirit Stones. So, some disciples with average talent would go for it; as long as they’re humble, focus on cultivation without making enemies, publicizing talent is fine, no one would truly hold a grudge.

Aside from ordinary talented cultivators, some with good talent also come to test theirs.

These talented cultivators fall into two categories.

The first category is like the female cultivator previously rejecting entry to the Ascension Gate. Knowing her own talent level, she believes no sect suits her, so she creates her own sect, representing it in the Immortal Gate competition.

Yet in this scenario, she is still lacking Spirit Stones and elixirs. If her talent is tested and proven great, the host offers significant support.

The second category involves cultivators wanting to change sects, feeling theirs isn’t adequate, thus publicly testing talent to see which sect might take them, then choosing a sect and changing allegiances.

On one hand, there’s the host’s reward; on the other, potentially joining a new sect, how delightful.

”I advise you against testing your talent.” Yuchi somehow appeared beside this woman.

He’s truly not greedy for the woman’s body; he’s a worldly person, mainly wanting to offer a warning since some things should be said, preventing someone from jumping into disaster. Especially this haughty female cultivator, clearly only wanting to take advantage without intent to join other sects.

Though ambitious, the outcome likely won’t meet expectations. Would sects truly ignore disciples with good talent? Qingzhu in the Ascension Gate, with her eighth-grade talent, was invited by others unsuccessfully, ultimately leading to her family’s slaughter, then coerced to join the sect.
