After merging with the Celestial Emperor's Blood, Gu Chenfeng also wanted to know how much he had changed.
Before long.
Lu Ming led Gu Chenfeng across the evaluation square.
The appearance of Gu Chenfeng quickly caught the attention of many disciples of the Ancient Divine Sect.
"Who is that kid? The evaluation has already begun, why is Junior Brother Lu bringing someone in now? Isn't this breaking the rules?"
"Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivation, his talent doesn't meet the requirements, and his age doesn't seem right either. Could he be a relative of a Divine Sect Elder?"
"Going through the back door? I've been in the Ancient Divine Sect for many years, and every genius disciple has had a significant background. This is the first time I've heard of someone going through the back door, this kid must have a strong background, but his talent is too poor."
"What's the use of a strong background? With such poor talent, no matter how hard he cultivates, it's ultimately a joke."
The disciples of the Ancient Divine Sect discussed with some contempt in their words.
The young generation of talents, full of arrogance, wouldn't take Gu Chenfeng seriously.
Even those participating in the evaluation, both boys and girls, cast disdainful looks.
Gu Chenfeng paid no mind to the disciples' discussions or the strange glances, only smiling bitterly in his heart.
Lu Ming laughed softly and said, "Senior Brother Gu should know that most disciples in the Celestial Long faction are a bit arrogant, don't take it to heart, Senior Brother Gu."
"I understand. Power is respected; if you are stronger than them, they will acknowledge you." Gu Chenfeng nodded.
Soon after.
Lu Ming led Gu Chenfeng into the Ancient Hall.
On the main seat of the hall, there was an elderly white-robed man with hair and beard as white as snow, focused on reading ancient texts.
This person was none other than the Elder of the Ancient Divine Sect, Celestial Monarch Xing.
Gu Chenfeng assessed the elder and thought, "This Great Elder's aura is terrifying, I wonder what his cultivation realm is."
Lu Ming cupped his fists with respect and reported, "Reporting to Great Elder, this disciple is named Gu Chenfeng, and he comes with the Fire God Feather."
"Take him to the evaluation," Celestial Monarch Xing waved his hand without lifting his head.
Lu Ming was slightly stunned, intending to say more, but swallowed his words, replying respectfully, "Yes, Great Elder."
But just as Lu Ming turned to take Gu Chenfeng to the evaluation.
Celestial Monarch Xing on the main seat suddenly reacted, stood up in shock, and exclaimed, "What did you say? Fire God Feather?"
Hearing Celestial Monarch Xing's exclamation, Lu Ming respectfully replied, "Great Elder, it is indeed the Fire God Feather, he is Gu Chenfeng."
Celestial Monarch Xing looked at Gu Chenfeng anxiously and said, "May I see the Fire God Feather?"
Gu Chenfeng dared not delay, immediately taking out the Fire God Feather from the Storage Ring.
As he saw the feather in Gu Chenfeng's hand, burning with golden flames, Celestial Monarch Xing was extremely excited, his voice trembling, "Fire God Feather! It really is the Fire God Feather!"
"Sixteen years! I never expected that after sixteen years, I could see the Fire God Feather again!"
Seeing the excited Celestial Monarch Xing, Gu Chenfeng curiously asked, "Great Elder, does the Ancient Divine Sect have any connection to the Fire God Feather?"
"Yes, of course, there is a connection!" Celestial Monarch Xing replied excitedly, "Sixteen years ago, an Ancient Divine Beast, the undying phoenix cloaked in golden flames, brought a mysterious master to the Ancient Divine Sect, who we called the Immortal of Eternal Youth."
"The Immortal's cultivation was unfathomable, in just two years, under his guidance, the strength of the Ancient Divine Sect increased greatly, and he helped the Sect Leader and others breakthrough realms, he is a great benefactor to our Ancient Divine Sect."
"A mysterious master? Immortal of Eternal Youth?" Gu Chenfeng was slightly surprised.
"Indeed," Celestial Monarch Xing nodded and said, "When the master left, he said that one day someone would come with the Fire God Feather to join the Ancient Divine Sect, we have waited so many years, finally, we waited for you."
Gu Chenfeng wondered in his heart, "The Immortal of Eternal Youth should be the Eternal Celestial Emperor, but how did he know that years later, I would join the Ancient Divine Sect?"
Celestial Monarch Xing continued, "Come, this elder will personally take you to the main peak where the Immortal of Eternal Youth lived, we've kept it reserved for him, sending disciples to clean daily."
Lu Ming quickly and respectfully said, "Great Elder, the evaluation is about to end, why not let Senior Brother Gu proceed with the evaluation first?"
"Nonsense!" Celestial Monarch Xing immediately rebuked, "Does anyone chosen by the Immortal of Eternal Youth need to be evaluated?"
Lu Ming innocently replied, "Great Elder, it's not my decision, it's Senior Brother Gu who wants to try."
"Trying is fine." Celestial Monarch Xing's expression suddenly softened, nodding slightly, "This elder will immediately report to the Sect Leader, and take Gu Chenfeng to the Immortal Peak after the evaluation ends."
"Yes, Great Elder." Lu Ming replied respectfully.
Celestial Monarch Xing laughed with joy, "Anyone chosen by the Immortal of Eternal Youth must be extraordinary."
"Great Elder is right, Senior Brother Gu, don't hold back, come on, let's go to the evaluation." Lu Ming laughed happily, his heart filled with anticipation.
Gu Chenfeng smiled but said nothing.
Soon after.
Lu Ming brought Gu Chenfeng back to the evaluation square.
The square suddenly fell silent, shocking both the disciples of the Ancient Divine Sect and those being evaluated.
Gu Chenfeng was also going to be evaluated?
Doesn't Gu Chenfeng know his own capabilities?
Isn't he afraid of disgracing himself and being mocked?
At this moment.
A disciple said mockingly, "Junior Brother Lu, you're not bringing him here for evaluation, are you? With so many people around, aren't you afraid of embarrassment?"
"With such poor cultivation talent, I think there's no need for evaluation."
"True, since he is going through the back door, he can become a disciple of the Ancient Divine Sect without evaluation."
"The Ancient Divine Sect evaluation is very strict, Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivation can't possibly pass, so why make a fool of yourself in public?"
Many disciples laughed, even knowing Gu Chenfeng had a background, they were not intimidated at all.
Hearing the disciples' mockery, Gu Chenfeng's face turned slightly cold, with anger in his eyes.
These overly arrogant disciples were going too far.
Noticing Gu Chenfeng's expression, Lu Ming quickly whispered, "Senior Brother Gu, don't stoop to their level, soon they'll see what a true genius is, they'll know who the real joke is."
"True genius?" Gu Chenfeng was slightly taken aback, thinking, "With my talent, I fall far behind them, my Spirit Root is only Lower Grade, even with Celestial Emperor's Blood, I fear..."
The Spirit Root of cultivators is divided into: Mortal Grade, Lower Grade, Upper Grade, Top Grade, Innate, Perfect, Supreme Venerable, these seven levels.
The disciples of the Ancient Divine Sect, as well as those who just passed the evaluation, at worst have Upper Grade Spirit Roots, the strongest have already reached Top Grade.
In comparison, even with the Celestial Emperor's Blood, Gu Chenfeng still felt uncertain.
After all, he only had a Lower Grade Spirit Root.
The strength or weakness of the Spirit Root determines the future achievements of a cultivator.
At this moment.
A middle-aged man came over, his expression cold and serious, asking, "Lu Ming, do you know the rules of the Divine Sect?"
"Disciple naturally knows." Lu Ming replied respectfully, "Uncle Master Zhou, it was the Great Elder who ordered me to bring Senior Brother Gu Chenfeng for evaluation."
