Seeing such unreasonable stats, the shock of all the masters on sight was understandable.
From the side, even the core formation elders felt a little relief upon seeing this; at least now the loss of their subordinates was a little more acceptable.
After all, who would have expected a mere mortal—who had never cultivated a single day in her life—to possess such remarkable traits?
"Hahahaha! The heavens indeed have eyes. From now on, the name Flowing Light Sect is sure to dominate the immortal lands under the guardianship of our new Saint of Light," Sect Master Si Xun announced excitedly, stroking his abundant white beard with vigor, now receiving glances filled with envy from the others.
But very soon, his laughter ceased. His jaw slackened in shock.
'What the hell am i seeing?' Once was understandable—but twice? He began to contemplate whether the heavenly talent-peering crystal was damaged.
Yes, that must be the case, he thought, reassuring himself.
Even though Adamant—the first to be appraised—was feeling distressed, he remembered back when he was hailed as the greatest and most talented mutant of all time back on Earth.
Shaking his head in resignation, Indeed, the young will overtake the old, he thought, sighing at the disparity.
All the other masters, filled with shock, had already come to the same conclusion as Master Si Xun: the crystal must be damaged, surely! How else could they explain such a ridiculous appraisal?
'THIS IS MADNESS! PURE INSANITY!!! Even the entire younger generation of our sect pieced together isn't worthy enough to clean their shoes,' Master Tian Wuxi exclaimed internally.

As for whose attribute this was? It was none other than the hero Shadow Star, Starlight's elder twin.
She was a carbon copy of her—delicate, pale, and tender-skinned, with a petite frame standing about 5.9 feet tall.
The only thing that differentiated her from her brighter half was her night-black hair and amethyst-purple eyes.
Unlike the rest, she had been nowhere to be found on the battlefield during their initial arrival.
She had chosen to calmly bide her time, lurking in the shadows. But upon the arrival of the masters, she was directly pulled out against her will.
She stood bound, unfazed by the appraisal, maintaining a stoic expression.
Meanwhile, Spirit Master Gu quickly beckoned to the crystal, examining it for any problems.
After a thorough inspection, he determined the crystal was functioning perfectly.
"Comrades, there seems to be nothing wrong with the crystal… and its appraisal appears accurate," he said, his face wearing a strange expression.
Honestly, he and Spirit Master Ye had just been taking care of some business a few thousand miles from here when they noticed the aura of the fifteen sect masters gathering.
Noticing this, they had quickly extended their perception to spy on what was happening.
After hearing the questioning and answers of the newcomers, they too concluded that the outsiders were definitely from that place.
Not wanting to let the sect masters take them all, he and Spirit Master Ye quickly arrived to poach their share.
Never in their wildest dreams could they have expected these lads to be such hot cakes!
Naturally, they had to take their fair share. Their eyes shone with expectation.
'Surely, out of this bunch, five or seven should at least have spirit-related talents,' Spirit Master Gu thought greedily, licking his lips with anticipation…
On the other side, Mistress Man Li—who had been holding her breath, praying for the crystal to be accurate—let out a sigh of relief.
An alluring smile graced her face. "It seems my Temple won't fall short either."
The crystal was quickly returned to its task, continuing to move from one to the next, displaying its appraisals.
And it was one shock after another.
One monster after another was revealed.
Thankfully, there was no need for disputes, as it seemed all the masters on site received at least one disciple.
Those who were lucky got two. But there was nothing to be done about that—forcing others who didn't have affinity for their sect to join was useless and foolish.
The results were as follows…
Titan, due to his ability to manipulate size, indestructible skin, and Herculean strength, also joined the Undying Immemorial Body Sect.
Stormbringer, with his destructive ability to command and emit lightning, naturally joined the Divine Thunder Pavilion.
Velocity, who also had lightning attributes, joined the Lightning Phantasm Sect, mainly because his ability was geared toward speed.
Echo had a surprisingly high spirit attribute despite his ability to manipulate sound and oscillation, so naturally, he joined the Great Spirit Sect.
Frost Bane joined the Winter Edge Temple due to her absurdly high affinity for manipulating and conjuring ice.
Specter, with his unique ability to split objects on a molecular level and vibrate atomic particles, naturally joined the Heaven-Splitting Mountain.
And for the villains…
Mind Bender, with his high mental and spiritual attributes, joined the Great Spirit Sect.
The Rebel, who had the frightening ability of blood manipulation, was a perfect match for the Blood Pool Sect.
Brain Buster, with his unique organic matter detonation ability, ended up at the Heavenly Slaughter Pavilion—a fitting placement.
Void, with the ability of Null and the unique domain ability Void, joined the Beggars Congress.
Reaper, with his curse-based ability and corpse animation, joined Nether Gate.
Oblivion, who could dismantle and assemble matter particles on a subatomic level, joined the Immortal Pill Valley.
King Bug, with his uncanny ability to manipulate insects and arachnids, joined the Myriad Gu Sect.
Crumble, with the ability to harden objects and turn organic matter brittle, joined Devil's Thorne Valley.
X, who had a transformation ability, joined the Fiendish Immortal Palace.
All the heroes were quickly assigned to their various sects and masters—without consent.
They couldn't refuse and could only pray they were assigned to a good sect.
Well, the prayer was useless anyway. This was a cultivation world—a world of dog-eat-dog. Even those of the righteous path were despicable scums who would scheme, betray, and plunder their comrades if they could.
That was just how this world worked. Those with hearts of gold and principles were too few.
The heroes wouldn't just need to adapt to this world physically—their moral principles would soon be tested and strained.
It remained to be seen whether they would still call themselves heroes a year from now.
And for the villains who thought they were evil, they would soon be faced with unimaginable abominable acts—ones that would make them rethink calling themselves villains.
Because compared to these demonic practitioners—who eat infants and wipe out families for fun—they weren't even worthy of the title.
All the masters had gotten their disciples. Still reeling with shock and excitement, they quickly turned their gazes to the last man remaining.
It was none other than Spark.
