The Blue-Eyed Octopus Demon and the Red-Haired Fire Demon found a secluded spot in the area near the Seven Stars Continent.
The Blue-Eyed Octopus Demon was the first to begin the transformation! During this period, the Red-Haired Fire Demon acted as a Protector for the Blue-Eyed Octopus Demon. Once the Blue-Eyed Octopus Demon had begun to Cultivate, the Blue-Eyed Octopus Demon would then act as a Protector for the Red-Haired Fire Demon.
Soon, the Blue-Eyed Octopus Demon fully completed its transformation, taking on the appearance of a young man. He then began to disperse his cultivation. Wisps of Devilish Qi dissipated from his body, colliding with the Spiritual Qi and causing a violent reaction that pitted and eroded the surrounding ground.
Once the Blue-Eyed Octopus Demon had completely finished dispersing his cultivation, he had directly fallen to the Mortal Realm! Even his Physical Body had become that of a Mortal due to the transformation, but his Soul strength and cultivation insights remained, so it would not be difficult to recover his cultivation.
"Eh, Yan Xinming, why does it feel like the Demonic Qi on my body has completely vanished without a trace?" the blue-eyed youth asked in surprise.
"Oh? It really has. It seems that after repeatedly washing the Physical Body with Spiritual Qi and Devilish Qi, the Foundation has instead become incredibly pure."
Yan Xinming exclaimed, "Lan Zhi, it seems we have discovered a good method to improve one's Foundation! It's just that the cost is a bit high!"
"Does this mean I can reach the Heavenly Immortal Realm in the future?" Lan Zhi asked pleasantly surprised.
"Hmm, your Aptitude has definitely improved, and the path ahead will certainly be much easier!" Yan Xinming sighed, "I didn't expect us to have such an Opportunity! If that Seven Stars Sect truly has a powerful Legacy from the Immortal Realm, perhaps we can really achieve something!"
Lan Zhi immediately became confident: "Hahaha, I will also become a Heavenly Immortal, and even a Golden Immortal!"
Half a day later, the two arrived at one of the Seven Stars Sect's outposts, and Lan Zhi applied to join the Seven Stars Sect. Meanwhile, Yan Xinming hid inside Lan Zhi's cave-heaven Spirit Treasure to protect his safety.
"Be careful, don't be too ostentatious!" Yan Xinming reminded him.
"I know. A Genius like me will surely shock everyone in the Seven Stars Sect; it can't be helped! I will try to keep a low profile!" Lan Zhi said.
Yan Xinming nodded. He didn't think there was any problem with what Lan Zhi said. Both of them could reach the Mahayana Realm; such Aptitude in the Mortal Realm was definitely top-tier! Joining a Seven Stars Sect would absolutely shock the Sect, and wouldn't the Legacy just be handed to them on a silver platter?
**Inside the outpost.**
A Seven Stars Sect Disciple looked Lan Zhi over and said casually, "You want to join the Seven Stars Sect? Test your Spiritual Root."
"Okay!"
Lan Zhi calmly placed his palm on the Spirit Testing Platform. A water-blue beam of light immediately shot into the sky, instantly illuminating the entire outpost!
The Cultivators at the outpost all put down their work and surrounded Lan Zhi, watching intensely.
"Good heavens! A Heavenly Spiritual Root! It has exceeded the limit for detecting a top-grade Spiritual Root; a Heavenly Water Spiritual Root has actually appeared here!"
"Senior Brother Gu You has a Heavenly Metal Spiritual Root and was already at the Golden Core Late Stage in ten years. This is the power of a Heavenly Spiritual Root; it is many times stronger than a top-grade Spiritual Root!"
"This is going to shock the Sect Elders!"
The crowd exclaimed repeatedly. Lan Zhi was incredibly calm inside. A sense of superiority from the Immortal Realm made him very confident in his own Aptitude.
"Move aside! What is the meaning of this!"
The Deacon Elder of the outpost immediately flew over, pushed the crowd aside, and then smiled, saying, "Young friend, what should I call you?"
"Lan, Lan Zhi!" Lan Zhi said, feigning "nervousness."
"Haha, rest assured! Don't be nervous!"
"I, I'm not nervous!"
"Your talent is excellent. The Sect will send an Elder to pick you up, and from now on, you will be a Disciple of the Seven Stars Sect."
Lan Zhi nodded his head happily. Sure enough, not two quarters of an hour later, Immortal Elder Nangong had run over in person.
"Where, where is the Genius?" Immortal Elder Nangong called out immediately upon landing.
"Elder, this is him!" The Deacon immediately brought Lan Zhi over.
Immortal Elder Nangong looked Lan Zhi over, especially his blue eyes, and nodded with satisfaction: "As expected of a Heavenly Water Spiritual Root, even the eyes are different."
Lan Zhi lowered his head, clutching his clothes, and said, "I, I was abandoned by my parents when I was young because of my eyes, and I have been wandering outside."
"Rest assured, from now on, the Seven Stars Sect is your home!" Immortal Elder Nangong patted his shoulder.
Lan Zhi was very dissatisfied with this Spirit Transformation junior patting his shoulder. How old was he? Where were his manners?
Immortal Elder Nangong took him into the air and flew toward the headquarters. Lan Zhi was immediately taken aback! Immortal Elder Nangong's flying speed was too fast!
The flight speed was comparable to the Void Refining Early Stage, yet his Soul could clearly perceive that this old man was only at the Spirit Transformation Middle Stage! Looking at his leisurely manner, it didn't seem like he was flying at full speed either!
Because of this, his feeling of contempt for Immortal Elder Nangong immediately vanished!
Lan Zhi immediately began to ponder: Could it be that the Seven Stars Sect really has an Immortal Realm Legacy? Otherwise, how could a random Elder he met reach such a level!
"Elder, can I ask a question?" Lan Zhi asked curiously.
"Oh? What question? Go ahead and ask!" Immortal Elder Nangong said casually.
"Are you the strongest person in the Seven Stars Sect?"
Immortal Elder Nangong immediately shook his head: "Of course not. Don't talk nonsense. My strength is ranked at least outside the top fifty thousand. I must warn you: never say such things recklessly."
Lan Zhi widened his eyes and said in shock: "Elder, you are so powerful, yet you are ranked outside the top fifty thousand? This, this, you must be trying to scare this Disciple, right?"
Immortal Elder Nangong waved his hand: "Why would I lie to you? You are just a newly initiated Disciple; what could you possibly know? Our Seven Stars Sect is not as simple as it looks on the surface! The waters run deep, and you will understand slowly in the future!"
"Oh, then who is the strongest person in our Sect?" Lan Zhi asked.
"That would naturally be the Seven Stars Ancestral Master!" Immortal Elder Nangong's expression revealed reverence and admiration.
"What Realm is the Ancestral Master at then?" Lan Zhi couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know." Immortal Elder Nangong shook his head.
Lan Zhi was stunned: "It is rumored that there are Mahayana Realm experts in the Seven Stars Sect. Is that the Seven Stars Ancestral Master?"
Upon hearing this, Immortal Elder Nangong shook his head: "The Seven Stars Ancestral Master, how could his strength be merely at the Mahayana Realm? Heh, kid, stop asking. You have just stepped into the cultivation world; you know too little, and the questions you ask are too one-sided. Later, when you begin to Cultivate, you will be able to understand many things yourself."
To be honest, he really didn't know what Realm Su Yuan was at now. Ever since his own cultivation had been surpassed, he could no longer understand Su Yuan's cultivation. Anyway, those ultimate techniques were enough for him to Cultivate.
Additionally, he was very curious: what was the deeper meaning behind the Ancestral Master specifically arranging for him to handle this newcomer?!
Immortal Elder Nangong finally said: "You can just consider the Seven Stars Ancestral Master to be the Reincarnation of a Great Power!"
Lan Zhi heard this and asked in confusion: "A Great Power?"
"You wouldn't understand even if I told you!" Immortal Elder Nangong waved his hand.
Lan Zhi was incredibly shocked inside. In the Immortal Realm, "Great Power" was not a term to be used lightly! Because "Great Power" specifically referred to experts at or above the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal Realm! Such an existence Reincarnated? You must be joking!
Yan Xinming, inside the cave-heaven Spirit Treasure, was also terrified. Hearing these words, he felt as if the Seven Stars Sect was a dragon's den or a tiger's lair.
Yan Xinming immediately restrained his aura, only observing the situation through Lan Zhi's perception, not daring to reveal even a sliver of his own power.
"Then can I become a Disciple under the Ancestral Master? I want to learn the Ancestral Master's Cultivation Technique!" Lan Zhi said with a look of longing.
Immortal Elder Nangong revealed a strange smile: "You want to learn? Heh, you don't need to become a Disciple under the Ancestral Master; you will be able to learn them in due time. I hope you can always maintain your current mindset."
Seeing Immortal Elder Nangong's smile, Lan Zhi couldn't help but tremble, and a chill surged into his heart. What on earth did that mean?
Not long after, the two arrived at the Seven Stars Sect.
While in mid-air, Lan Zhi looked at the overall view of the Seven Stars Sect. It looked like an ordinary Sect, and it did not appear very large on the surface.
But the moment he entered the Seven Stars Sect's Formation, Spiritual Qi so dense it was extreme rushed toward him!
At the tops of the Peaks, the Spiritual Qi was so dense it had reached the point of liquefaction, and the Spiritual Qi level of the entire Sect exceeded that of the outside world by dozens of times!
It even exceeded the Spiritual Qi concentration of ordinary areas in the Immortal Realm!
This Seven Stars Sect, it has some substance!
Just as he was marveling at this, suddenly, a figure appeared out of thin air in front of the two, and a massive pressure pressed down directly.
Immortal Elder Nangong immediately bowed: "Greetings, Elder Su Qian!"
Lan Zhi's heart shook! This person's aura had actually reached the Ninth Order Early Stage! That was the Mahayana Realm! The Seven Stars Sect was indeed hiding dragons and crouching tigers!
Especially since he hadn't been able to perceive how the other party appeared at all! One must know that his Soul strength was still at the Mahayana Peak, and basically, methods of the same Realm could hardly escape his perception, but this person had just appeared out of thin air.
Immortal Elder Nangong immediately pressed Lan Zhi's head: "Quickly, greet the Elder."
Lan Zhi then came to his senses and quickly said respectfully: "Greetings, Elder!"
Su Qian looked at Lan Zhi with an indifferent expression: "Who is this?"
"A Genius Disciple just recruited," Immortal Elder Nangong said quickly, "at least a true grade Spiritual Root!"
Su Qian nodded: "Considered to have some potential. Go test him and see if he can reach true grade, profound grade, or even gold grade."
Immortal Elder Nangong said in a difficult tone: "Elder, this child is estimated to reach heavenly grade at best; true grade is too difficult for him!"
"Heavenly grade? Aptitude is mediocre, hard to obtain the true Legacy!"
Su Qian seemed to lose interest. He flicked his sleeves, and his entire person dissipated like a cool breeze, vanishing without a trace.
Lan Zhi widened his eyes, looked all around, and asked in astonishment: "Where did that Elder go?"
"Shh, don't ask about the Elder's affairs!" Immortal Elder Nangong reminded him.
Lan Zhi quickly and carefully asked: "Elder, what did that Elder Su mean by true grade and profound grade just now?"
Immortal Elder Nangong said: "It's simple. These are our Sect's Aptitude assessment levels for Geniuses. After exceeding a top grade Spiritual Root, one can step into human grade Aptitude, which means this person has the Aptitude to become a Human Immortal. After that, earth grade is Earth Immortal, heavenly grade is Heavenly Immortal, and so on!"
Lan Zhi widened his eyes: "Human Immortal? Our Sect…"
Immortal Elder Nangong patted his head: "Kid, don't aim too high. Aptitude is just the starting point. Although the Seven Stars Sect values Aptitude, it values Heart-Nature even more! If your Heart-Nature is astonishing, you might even get an audience with the Ancestral Master!"
His tone was filled with encouragement.
Lan Zhi gulped. He suddenly felt a bit panicked. He had originally thought that coming from the Immortal Realm, he would definitely be a shocking Prodigy in this small Mortal Realm, but he hadn't expected the Seven Stars Sect to have even stronger levels of talent.
Lan Zhi looked dazed, allowing Immortal Elder Nangong to bring him in front of a great hall.
"Let's go, first let's test what your specific talent is.
