Immortal Elder Nangong brought him before a mirror.
"Go and stand there!" Immortal Elder Nangong said.
Seeing the mirror, Lan Zhi, who was quite knowledgeable, knew that it must be something similar to a Heart-Observing Mirror or a Heart-Testing Stone.
In response, Lan Zhi walked up to it quite calmly.
He had no malicious intentions toward the Seven Stars Sect; he was only here to learn some Legacy. Wasn't that why everyone joined a Sect?
However, the moment he stood on it, a blue-eyed octopus demon appeared in the mirror before him!
Lan Zhi's expression changed drastically.
Yan Xinming, inside the Spirit Treasure cave, was also immediately terrified and panicked.
His true form had been revealed!
But Lan Zhi soon noticed that Immortal Elder Nangong beside him was very calm, without a hint of surprise.
"Not bad. It seems the special Bloodline within you has undergone Awakening. No wonder you have a Heavenly Water Spiritual Root! Could this be some kind of Divine Beast?" Immortal Elder Nangong remarked, observing the form of the octopus demon.
Lan Zhi gave a dry laugh, but in his heart, he became extremely wary of the Seven Stars Sect. What kind of mirror was this, to actually reveal his true form!
Fortunately, in the Mortal Realm, it seemed that the Human Race had many foreign Bloodlines within them, so revealing such a thing was not too unusual.
The figure of the octopus demon in the mirror slowly disappeared, and then several lines of text emerged.
[Earth-grade Immortal Beast Bloodline: Blue-Eyed Water-Avoiding Fish. Excels in the Law of Water. Its eyes can avoid water and are the main material for the Immortal Artifact 'Water-Avoiding Spirit Pearl'. The defect is 'Fish Eyes Mixing with Pearls', meaning the fish eyes possess chaotic properties, which will lower the Bloodline's intelligence and Comprehension Ability. There are seven evolution routes in total, one of which can evolve into a Profound Immortal Bloodline, namely...]
"That's it?" Lan Zhi was immediately excited when he saw that evolution routes existed, but when he saw the six small dots, he was stunned on the spot.
"The follow-up is a paid service. You need to earn contribution points to acquire them!" Immortal Elder Nangong paused. "This kind of Bloodline evolution is too far away for you; there's no need to dwell on it."
More text appeared in the mirror.
[Sect Special Bloodline Ranking: 8,284th. Ranked within the top 10,000, eligible for nomination as a Core Disciple.]
Lan Zhi's eyes widened: "8,284th?"
Immortal Elder Nangong, on the contrary, looked envious: "Your talent is excellent! This kind of Bloodline talent is easier to realize than Spiritual Root talent! Your speed of Cultivation will become very fast! Congratulations!"
Lan Zhi's mouth twitched, and he nodded silently.
He was curious about the true strength of the Seven Stars Sect. This was the Mortal Realm; could there really be so many Bloodlines above the Heavenly Immortal level? This was a Bloodline! A single Bloodline was essentially equivalent to a race. What was the difference between this ranking and a race ranking?
He naturally had expectations regarding his Bloodline ranking, despite it being so low.
"Next is the test for Heart-Nature, Comprehension Ability, and so on! Pay attention!" Immortal Elder Nangong suddenly said.
Lan Zhi was startled, and then he saw a beam of light from the mirror engulf his entire body.
Lan Zhi only felt a moment of trance before returning to normal.
He asked in his heart: "Yan Xinming, what just happened?"
"I don't know. Your mind suddenly lost itself for a moment. Your Soul actually couldn't withstand it; it's truly bizarre!" Yan Xinming said gravely.
While the two were nervous.
A dot appeared in the center of the mirror.
Four lines extended from the dot in the four directions of up, down, left, and right, representing the four data points of "Willpower," "Comprehension Ability," "Heart-Nature," and "Cognition."
The ends of the four lines were 100, and the initial dot was zero.
Before long, four red dots moved outward from the center dot along the four lines.
Eventually, the red dots stopped on each line.
Marking the four values of "37", "25", "45", and "18".
Immortal Elder Nangong looked at the test results and said with satisfaction: "Not bad, the Heart-Nature is acceptable."
Seeing this data, Lan Zhi couldn't help but say on the spot: "Why are my numbers so low? That's impossible, right?"
Immortal Elder Nangong raised an eyebrow: "You are already quite good. Normal Disciples' values are all single digits; you have already exceeded single digits."
Willpower 37, Comprehension Ability 25, Heart-Nature 45, Cognition 18—is this data really acceptable?
Lan Zhi suddenly became a bit unconfident.
Another line of text appeared on the mirror.
[Heart-Nature is acceptable. Total score ranking for Disciples entering the Sect: 5,871]
Lan Zhi looked at that number with some dissatisfaction. How could a mere Mortal Realm Sect have so many talented people?
"Not bad, not bad, in the top 6,000! You kid have a promising future!" Immortal Elder Nangong gave Lan Zhi a thumbs up.
Lan Zhi didn't know whether to say thanks or curse; this truly sounded like a compliment!
But he remained unconvinced in his heart. How could his talent be so lousy?
Three days later, he was taken to a valley.
"This is the Immortal Seed Valley. You will stay here for three months. There are just over a thousand Immortal Seeds in this batch. Try to see if you can rank in the top ten." Immortal Elder Nangong patted him on the shoulder and then left.
Leaving Lan Zhi standing there in a daze, looking at the group of young teenagers in the valley square.
Lan Zhi immediately asked internally: "Yan Xinming, can you sense the Aptitude of the Disciples around us?"
Yan Xinming was silent and did not answer immediately.
"Hey, are you mute?" Lan Zhi asked suspiciously.
"Lan Zhi, we may have come to an incredible Sect!" Yan Xinming said with a trembling voice.
"What's wrong?"
"All the Disciples around us have surpassed top grade Spiritual Roots! I can feel that some of these Disciples' Aptitude might actually be stronger than yours!" Yan Xinming swallowed hard.
"What? That's impossible!" Lan Zhi said in shock. "How could so many super top grade Spiritual Roots appear in one Mortal Realm?"
In reality, these Geniuses came from the myriad worlds!
Seven Stars Sect Disciples had unlimited missions to collect Geniuses when traveling to other worlds. Among so many worlds, there were always Geniuses with outstanding natural talent, and all of them gathered here in the Seven Star Realm, which seemed extremely exaggerated!
Someone saw the blue-eyed Lan Zhi and walked up to chat: "Hi, I am Zhang Zhi from the Huangming Realm. Which Realm are you from?"
"Realm?" Lan Zhi was confused. "Do you mean a continent?"
"Huh? You don't know? Are you from this Realm?" Zhang Zhi realized. "We Geniuses come from the myriad worlds. Everyone who can enter the Immortal Seed Valley has at least the Aptitude for Immortal Ascension. We will all be fellow Disciples, so let's get to know each other. I have a Heavenly-grade Spiritual Root!"
In an instant, Lan Zhi's perception seemed to be shattered. He finally understood why the Seven Stars Sect could recruit so many Geniuses—they came from the myriad worlds!
But how could this be!
The two of them, as Cultivators at the Mahayana Realm, had to rely on Immortal Boats to cross worlds, and each trip took a long time. How did the Seven Stars Sect gather so many Geniuses all at once?
The Seven Stars Sect suddenly shocked him.
No wonder Elder Nangong said the Seven Stars Sect's waters were deep. This wasn't just deep; it was bottomless!
Yan Xinming was also silent; he didn't even dare to speak to Lan Zhi again.
Suddenly, a beam of light was drawn from the massive star pillar in the sky, shooting straight toward the Immortal Seed Valley.
The starlight condensed above the valley into a divine body radiating endless starlight, and a supreme Divine Might radiated toward the thousand-plus Disciples in the valley!
"A deity!"
Lan Zhi exclaimed in his heart in horror!
He had not sensed wrong; that was the aura of a deity. It was not a deity with a damaged divine talisman like a local Earth Deity, but a true deity who could live as long as the heavens. He never expected to see a deity who would only appear in the Heavenly Court of the Immortal Realm here in the Mortal Realm!
Lance withdrew his pressure and smiled slightly at the young people: "I am Lance, the Valley Master of Immortal Seed Valley, currently a Third-Rank Star Official, a Heaven and Earth Deity, a near-Immortal existence! During these three months, I will guide you to comprehend the peerless techniques of the Seven Stars Sect, broaden your cognition, acquire knowledge, Cultivate your Heart-Nature, and temper your Willpower. I hope you can improve your Realm on your own in the future, and not be like me, who can only rely on contribution points to request a divine position from the Sect, limiting my future potential and making progress difficult."
By now, Lan Zhi was completely in a state of stupor.
He hadn't heard wrong, had he? A Heaven and Earth divine position could actually be acquired by requesting it from the Sect?
He naturally understood what this meant. This meant that within the Seven Stars Sect, there must be someone who possessed a Heaven and Earth status!
As far as he knew, those with Heaven and Earth status in the Immortal Realm were all top-tier powerhouses, at least at the level of an Immortal Emperor!
Could it be that Seven Stars Ancestral Master? Was he a figure above the level of an Immortal Emperor? Or perhaps truly a Great Being?
As long as the Heaven and Earth status does not dissipate, the Heaven and Earth deity is Immortal!
Something like this, one only needed to apply to the Sect to get it!
And listening to that tone, this kind of divine position was even looked down upon by the Seven Stars Sect. In the Immortal Realm, how many Immortals begged to join the Heavenly Court without even having the chance.
Lance said: "Alright, now I will teach you the basic Cultivation Technique for entering the Sect. Prepare for Qi Refining!"
With a wave of his hand, thousands of divine lights merged into everyone's consciousness.
Lan Zhi sensed an extra Cultivation Technique in his mind.
It was called the "Seven Stars Profound Truth Qi Refining Manual"!
Lan Zhi took a quick look and was immediately attracted by the profound technique within it. Although this manual only contained the content for the Qi Refining stage, its quality was far more exquisite than what he had practiced before!
Seeing the later parts, he gasped: "Hiss, using natural array restrictions as spiritual acupoints, using alchemy spirit cauldrons as the cornerstone, using Concept comprehension as the Foundation, using Heaven and Earth spiritual runes as mana imprints—is this something for the Qi Refining stage? This is too ridiculous, right?"
The requirements for Array Dao, Alchemy Dao, Talisman Dao, plus Heaven and Earth Dao essence and Spiritual Qi cultivation—this was something only a Nascent Soul expert needed to master. Now they were requiring Disciples who had just entered the Sect to Cultivate this at the Qi Refining stage?
It was utterly ridiculous!
Lan Zhi was shocked beyond measure, and his awe for the Seven Stars Sect grew deeper. He was certain that the Seven Stars Sect was absolutely incredible!
That so-called Seven Stars Ancestral Master might really be a Reincarnation of a Great Being!
At this moment, above his head.
Su Yuan's consciousness was located above his head.
He was pinching his fingers to calculate, deducing the subsequent changes.
He wanted to use Lan Zhi and Yan Xinming to spread the news to the Immortal Realm and establish the image of a Great Being first.
Why do this? This was Su Yuan taking precautions. He was causing trouble in the myriad worlds, which would certainly attract exploration from the Immortal Realm. Since that was the case, he would first throw out a smoke bomb, pretending to be a Great Being, letting the Cultivators of the Immortal Realm guess, verify, and hesitate to act, thereby delaying the time for his growth and instantly reaping a wave of reputation points from the Immortal Realm!
This was killing two birds with one stone!
To put it bluntly, it was a shell company!
If a Great Being really had no shame and came down personally to tear away his disguise, he would only be able to... run away.
