Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

”Who knows?”

A bald middle-aged man in white robes, Elder Bai Jing, shook his head and said indifferently, ”Perhaps there was a problem with the selection back then. Perhaps this person was originally of mediocre talent but later had an epiphany and rose to prominence. There are too many such examples, so why bother with these details?”

”That is true.”

Elder Lu Ming smiled lightly. ”It seems I was too fixated on appearances.”

As Elder Bai Jing said, although in most cases, a genius was a genius from the start, there were always some late-blooming powerhouses in this world.

Just like the current peak master of Sword Peak.

Before the age of forty, he had been only an ordinary mortal painter.

But one day, while painting an ink wash painting, he suddenly gained insight. He fused the Dao of painting with the Dao of swordsmanship, then successfully stepped into the Dao Resonance Realm in only fifty years.

”Since Ye Wuhen possesses such strength and comprehension ability, and since he is not too old, I think he should be the captain for this Central Continent Heaven’s Chosen Assembly.”

Another middle-aged man in green robes, Elder Gu Zhengyan, spoke with an indifferent expression.

He spoke slowly, one word at a time, with an extremely rigid cadence, like an old pedant.

”No objections.”

The last elder spoke indifferently.

Speaking of which, among the four elders, this person was the least like an elder.

Her height was only half of Mo Qingyuan’s. Her delicate face looked innocent, and she wore a red dress, making her appear exactly like a carefree young girl.

But anyone who underestimated her because of her appearance would be gravely mistaken.

Among the four elders, her strength was the strongest.

Even compared to the two vice peak masters, her strength was not inferior in the slightest.

The reason she was not a vice peak master was not because her strength was insufficient. She simply had no interest in taking the position.

In truth, even Daoist Scarlet Brow, the vice peak master of Myriad Manifestation Peak, might not be her opponent.

”In that case, Ye Wuhen will serve as the captain for this Heaven’s Chosen Assembly.”

Mo Qingyuan nodded. ”Besides Ye Wuhen, what are your thoughts on the remaining nine spots?”

”Jiang Haobai is definitely out. Additionally, among the top ten elite disciples, two others have exceeded the maximum age limit for the Heaven’s Chosen Assembly. Let us select two more from the newly promoted elite disciples.”

Elder Lu Ming said, ”I suggest Xiao Hancheng and Yun Canglan.”

Xiao Hancheng was the second strongest among the ordinary disciples this time.

Although there was a significant gap between him and Ye Wuhen, he still managed to reach sixth place overall.

”I agree.”

Elder Gu Zhengyan nodded, his voice still stiff and formal like an old pedant.

”I have a different opinion.”

Elder Bai Jing said, ”I think Li Yun is quite suitable to participate in this Central Continent Heaven’s Chosen Assembly.”

”Him?”

Elder Lu Ming immediately frowned. ”What makes him qualified? He only ranked twentieth, barely holding onto his elite disciple position, and that was by relying on soul attack methods.”

”In our Sword Peak, his methods might be decent. But at the Central Continent Heaven’s Chosen Assembly, they will not amount to much. Sending him would only bring shame to our Profound Origin Immortal Sect.”

”I do not see it that way.”

Elder Bai Jing said, ”Elder Lu, I do not know whether you are intentionally ignoring it or whether there is another reason, but have you not noticed that Li Yun is only at the 2nd level of Heavenly Core Realm?”

”At only the 2nd level of Heavenly Core Realm, he already possesses such strength. If he reaches the 3rd level or 4th level, would he not be qualified to participate in the Central Continent Heaven’s Chosen Assembly?”

”I disagree.”

No sooner had Elder Bai Jing finished speaking than Elder Gu Zhengyan rigidly stated, ”He is not qualified.”

”Why is he not qualified?”

Elder Bai Jing finally grew angry and coldly snorted. ”I do not think he is unqualified. Rather, you are afraid he will snatch Yun Canglan’s spot.”

”You two, one of you has a good relationship with the Yun Family, and the other is directly from the Yun Family. Because of that, you do not want to see someone steal the limelight from your Yun Family descendant, am I right?”

”You are overthinking it.”

Elder Lu Ming frowned and said indifferently, ”What I am doing has nothing to do with the Yun Family. I am considering this purely from the perspective of the sect’s interests.”

”What you said is true. Li Yun is only at the 2nd level of Heavenly Core Realm, and he indeed has great potential. But have you considered what will happen if he cannot break through before or during the Heaven’s Chosen Assembly?”

”At that time, if we let a mere 2nd level Heavenly Core Realm junior represent our Profound Origin Immortal Sect in battle, how will others view it? Will they not think that our Profound Origin Immortal Sect has no one left and has fallen to the point where we cannot find a qualified disciple to participate in the Heaven’s Chosen Assembly?”

”You!”

Elder Bai Jing’s voice faltered.

For many years, when it came to arguing, he had always been inferior to Elder Lu Ming.

This time, as expected, he was once again at a disadvantage.

”Alright, this matter is settled.”

Seeing that Elder Bai Jing had been left speechless, Elder Lu Ming smiled contentedly. Then he looked toward Mo Qingyuan and said, ”Vice Peak Master, let us designate the two extra spots to Xiao Hancheng and Yun Canglan.”

”Wait.”

Just as Elder Lu Ming thought the matter had been settled without suspense, a lazy voice suddenly rang out.

The girl in the red dress was filing her nails as she said lazily, ”No matter what, I am also one of the four elders. For such an important matter, not even asking for my opinion is a bit too much, is it not?”

”This...”

Elder Lu Ming was startled, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

Sure enough, in the next moment, the red-dressed girl, Elder Hong Lian, continued filing her nails and said indifferently, ”I do not like Yun Canglan. I think we should remove him and put Li Yun in instead.”

”You!”

This time, it was Elder Lu Ming’s turn to be furious.

He was about to retort, but Mo Qingyuan directly interrupted him.

”Enough.”

Mo Qingyuan said, ”I do know a bit about Li Yun. I can guarantee that sending him to the Central Continent Heaven’s Chosen Assembly will absolutely not bring shame to our Profound Origin Immortal Sect. In fact, he might even give us a huge surprise.”

”One of the spots will be given to Li Yun. As for the remaining spot, whether it belongs to Xiao Hancheng or Yun Canglan, I suggest that they both prepare for a period of time and fight before the Heaven’s Chosen Assembly begins. Whoever wins will receive the final spot.”

”This matter is settled. There is still one month until the Heaven’s Chosen Assembly begins. How to arrange it specifically will be up to you.”

After speaking, Mo Qingyuan did not give Elder Lu Ming another chance to speak.

His figure flashed, and he disappeared from the spot.

”Hahaha, as expected of the vice peak master. His vision is much better than some people’s.”

Elder Bai Jing glanced triumphantly at Elder Lu Ming, laughed loudly, and vanished in an instant as well.
