In the Flame Domain, Qingyun State, within Luoyun Temple.
Today was the day Luoyun Temple recruited new Disciples, an event held once every five years.
The Elders from each Peak of Luoyun Temple were gathered in the Hall of Deliberation, using a High Grade Magical Artifact—the Refraction Mirror—to observe the performance of the many seekers of Immortality on the Heaven-Ascending Ladder outside Luoyun Temple.
"In these recent recruitment drives, more and more promising talents are appearing."
An Elder with white hair and beard, possessing an Immortal-like demeanor, said with a smile, "I see that the young man currently ranked third, with his bright eyes and Spiritual Qi spontaneously rising around him, whose every movement subtly aligns with the Heavenly Dao, must be the Heavenly Dao Spiritual Physique recorded in our Peak's ancient texts."
"What Heavenly Dao Spiritual Physique? A mere brat aligning with the Heavenly Dao?"
The Peak Master of Kuang Zhan Peak, who had always been at odds with Heavenly Dao Peak, retorted loudly, "I think the young man ranked first is the true Cultivation seed; he is forge ahead , and his Show off your talents ."
"On the path to Immortality, one must strive. If one doesn't always aim for first, how can they surpass others? How can they reach the end?"
Hearing this, the old Daoist merely smiled and said, "Your Kuang Zhan Peak likes to strive so much, yet I haven't seen you win first place many times in the Nine Peaks Grand Competition."
"He Shengun, you can only boast with your tongue. Do you dare to go outside and spar with me?"
"Heh, crude martial artist."
"You!"
"If you want to argue, go outside and argue. Everyone be quiet now."
When Ruthless Fairy, the Peak Master of Dao Xuan Peak and also the Temple Master of Luoyun Temple, who was seated in the main seat, spoke, the entire Hall of Deliberation instantly fell silent.
There was no other way; Ruthless Fairy was not only the strongest in the hall, being at the Late Stage of Nascent Soul, but she was also emotionally detached. If things didn't go her way, she would cripple a person's cultivation and send their soul back to Heaven and Earth.
If it weren't for her disinterest in managing the affairs of the various Peaks, Luoyun Temple would have long become her personal domain.
After three quarters of an hour of silence in the Hall of Deliberation, Nangong Wan, the Peak Master of Yin Yang Peak, who had some acquaintance with Ruthless Fairy, suddenly spoke.
"The Immortal-Mortal Passage should be closing soon, right? There must be many Disciples from the Fan Realm gathered at the teleportation array. Why not open a sub-screen there with the Refraction Mirror?"
Ruthless Fairy heard this but did not respond; instead, as the power of Heaven and Earth converged, a sub-screen quickly appeared next to the main screen of the Refraction Mirror.
Nangong Wan saw that many Disciples had already appeared at the teleportation array, and her beautiful eyes quickly searched among them.
She had already checked; although there were many promising talents on the Heaven-Ascending Ladder, none had the Pure Yang Body she urgently needed.
So, she could only place her hopes on the Disciples from the Fan Realm. If she still couldn't find one here, she would have to go out and travel to search.
Half an hour quietly passed, and many seekers of Immortality on the Heaven-Ascending Ladder had already climbed one-fifth of the steps.
Nangong Wan had also basically checked all the Disciples from the Fan Realm who had arrived, and there wasn't a single Pure Yang Body among them.
Her beautiful eyes dimmed, but then she thought of her son, who yearned for Cultivation, and quickly adjusted her mindset. She prepared to go out and travel after this new Disciple recruitment, to search for a young man with a Pure Yang Body in the countryside.
At that time, I will have that young man acknowledge me as his Master, and then gradually try to assist him in Cultivating the Qing Ni Jue in front of my son. I believe that even if Xiao Li has no Spiritual Root, he can still embark on the Immortal path through the power of emotion.
It's just, do I really have to go that far with my own Disciple?
A slight blush appeared on Nangong Wan's mature young woman's face. Fortunately, she had always worn the High Grade Magical Artifact—the Illusion Silkworm Scarf—which could conceal her face, preventing her embarrassment from being seen by the other Elders.
Just as Nangong Wan was daydreaming about what was to happen, a towering pillar of light suddenly lit up from the teleportation array.
The pillar of light was dazzling golden and magnificent, and for a moment, the eyes of all the Elders and Peak Masters were drawn to it.
At the same time, as the pillar of light reached the heavens, three thousand miles of purple Qi came from the east above Luoyun Temple. Luck, shaped like a Dragon and Phoenix, separated from the purple Qi and then surged into the young man standing in the center of the pillar of light like a swallow returning to its nest.
And looking at that young man, he was handsome and elegant, with his eyes lightly closed, his body floating in the pillar of light. Golden lotuses of Luck surged around him, and flowers bloomed beneath his feet. The Immortal cranes and Auspicious Beasts within Luoyun Temple flew to the side of the pillar of light, chirping in unison, as if sincerely celebrating the arrival of their master.
Seeing this heavenly phenomenon, the Peak Masters could no longer sit still. One by one, they rose and appeared beside the teleportation array.
Even Ruthless Fairy's perpetually expressionless face showed a hint of emotion. She recalled the ancient secrets she had read on the top floor of the Scripture Pavilion within the temple.
All these phenomena indicate the favor of the Heavenly Dao. This child must be the legendary person blessed with great Luck.
Her figure moved, arriving after the others but reaching first, appearing near the pillar of light before the other Peak Masters arrived.
At this moment, the phenomenon within the towering pillar of light had not stopped. The young man, whose Aura was sacred as if an Immortal had descended, opened his eyes.
His eyes were as deep as a pool, as if they held a charm of years that did not belong to his age.
What shocked the nine Peak Masters the most was that this young man's cultivation broke through simultaneously the moment he opened his eyes.
Body Refining entered the Meridian-Connecting Stage in a breath, and Qi Refining instantly stepped into the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Without the aid of Medicinal Pills, without the assistance of Formations, just by stepping into the Cultivation World for the first time, he connected with Heaven and Earth, and both Body Refining and Qi Refining achieved Perfection Breakthrough.
What kind of talent is this? Which Immortal Reincarnation is this?
The Peak Masters had varied expressions, and their Divine Sense was rapidly working, contemplating what the best conditions their respective Peaks could offer were.
Nangong Wan, the Peak Master of Yin Yang Peak, looked at this handsome and masculine Immortal who had descended, and her heart pounded. This Immortal actually possessed the Pure Yang Body she had longed for.
Although his Physique appeared to be the secondary Nine Yang Body, rather than the Nine Yang Overlord Body that Nangong Wan most desired.
But surely this Immortal's Nine Yang Body must be extraordinary, and satisfying her needs at the Late Stage of Core Formation should not be difficult.
I never thought that Heaven had eyes and would send such a treasure to me.
Luan Feng Immortal Nangong Wan, who was rumored to be chaste and abide by feminine virtues, felt her heart surge with excitement at this moment. She was already impatient to take this tall, strong, and masculine young man as her Disciple.
A quarter of an hour later, the various phenomena gradually dissipated.
Zhou Fan looked around, listening with a smile to the pleasant broadcast from the System.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for stepping into the Cultivation World, allowing the functions of this System to be further unlocked!"
"The Dao Companion module has been officially upgraded! As the host's cultivation has broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, the second Dao Companion slot has now been unlocked!"
"At the same time, the cultivation amplification for the first Dao Companion slot has been officially activated! As the host's first Dao Companion is Empress Yaya, the cultivation speed for the Qi Refining side is now activated to three times its original speed for the host!"
"Ding! As the host has just entered the Cultivation World, the System functions have been perfected. The host is now rewarded with one manifestation of a Luck phenomenon! At the same time, the Son of Destiny search function has been unlocked!"
"Grand opening special! Searching for Sons of Destiny within a million-mile radius now only costs 1000 Luck points. Would the host like to search?"
