Chapter 273: This Is the Headquarters (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion held a new assessment every two years. Every five times, all the new core members would be members of the same batch. Usually, after the number of new members reached 50, the headquarters would conduct a review and evaluation.
Only five candidates had passed during Shen Ping’s assessment. However, in the past ten years, dozens of new core disciples had been born one after another. The most outstanding one was Hall Master Shan Huo’s personal disciple, Talisman Master Jing Yu.
Before Shen Ping entered the Glory Ranking, Talisman Master Jing Yu was undoubtedly the target of many new core disciples. But now, this target has long been changed to Shen Ping. Most of the new core members understood that it was very difficult for them to catch up and could only look up to him.
Other than the new core disciples, the veteran core members on the Glory Ranking also more or less looked in the direction of the path to the Mountain Fire Hall. They had different thoughts. Some were emotional, some were jealous, and some were envious. However, without exception, their eyes were filled with unwillingness.
To be able to enter the top 100 of the Glory Ranking, all of them were very outstanding in their respective skills and talents. Naturally, they had the pride of geniuses in their bones. Yet now, they were caught up by a rising star in an extremely short period of time, and some of them were even surpassed.
This feeling was completely different from those new core disciples.
After all, which of these veteran core members had not cultivated and comprehended in the headquarters for hundreds of years, or even nearly a thousand years? However, no matter what they were thinking, they admired this dazzling genius in their hearts.
As the beast carriage continued forward, there were more and more cultivators near the halls on both sides of the wide road.
Since the appearance of the Hidden Dragon and Glory Rankings, almost every hall-level member would go to the hall to look at the rankings. Therefore, they knew Shen Ping, this genius. Especially after the news of the competition for the beast scripture successor spread, they wanted to see the elegance of the new core disciple, Shen Ping.
Cultivators had peace and quiet, but that did not mean that they did not have the joys of mortals. Unless he really abandons the mortal world, otherwise, greed, anger, and foolishness would still remain in his heart.
“That’s Hall Master Shan Huo’s personal carriage.”
“Could it be that the person sitting beside Hall Master Ji is Talisman Master Shen?”
“Gasp… It’s really him!”
“To be able to ride with Hall Master Ji, even those old A-rank cores don’t have the qualifications!”
“Not to mention a Class A core, there’s not even a core in the hall of us Late-stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivators!”
“Previously, I heard that the hall masters of the various halls personally went to the Linhai Immortal City to recruit him, but in the end, they were snatched by the Mountain Fire Hall. However, 1 didn’t expect them to value him so much. It seems that the Mountain Fire Hall really wants to nurture this Talisman Master Shen as the future hall master!”
“It’s a pity for that Talisman Master Jing Yu.”
As the core members of the various palaces discussed via voice transmission, the elegant and quiet Yu Qingling stared in the direction of the Mountain Fire Hall. She already knew that today was the day the new core member, Shen Ping, would return to the headquarters.
She remained in this position from eleven at night. When she noticed some movements in the Dan Hai Hall, Yu Qingling was clearly aware that the ridiculous talisman master who had communicated with her in the jade token space had arrived!
“Fellow Daoist Shen.” She bit her lip lightly. She could not help but think of that time when she had gone berserk. She suddenly felt as if something was about to leak out of her heart. The red glow quietly crept up her earlobe.
Yu Qingling shook her head forcefully, wanting to expel the distracting thoughts in her heart. However, the more she tried her best to suppress it, the clearer the scenes of Qi Deviation that occurred in the trial space became in her mind.
Buzz.
At this moment, she sensed movement in the communication token at her waist. She released her divine sense to investigate.
“Qingling, follow me to the Mountain Fire Hall in a few days.”
Hearing this message, Yu Qingling’s eyes suddenly lit up. Now, she finally had an excuse to see Fellow Daoist Shen. But soon, her face turned red.
Embarrassment swirled in the corners of her eyes.
Just as the carriage was about to enter the territory of Mountain Fire Hall, a figure looked down at the carriage halfway up the twelve floating spiritual peaks. “65th on the Glory Ranking?”
“Heh, Fellow Daoist Li is really arrogant. You’re not even willing to call him Talisman Master Shen. No matter what, he’s a skill genius who passed the fifth level of the trial with just the second volume of the beast form of the Talisman Beast Scripture!”
“Fellow Daoist Xu, this is your fault. Fellow Daoist Li is ranked eighth on the Glory Ranking and the true core of the Chen Yao Main Hall. How can a mere existence ranked 65 be worthy of his attention?”
Core Jade Token.
In the communication space.
It was rare for these core members of the Glory faction on the Floating Spirit Peak to gather together. The opportunity to inherit the Beast Scripture. Not only was it supreme glory, but it was also a ladder to the top of the experts of the five continents and four seas. It was also the true Great Dao of longevity. They naturally did not want to miss it.
Every qualified cultivator was their competitor.
The burly cultivator surnamed Li said indifferently, “The 65th on the Glory Ranking is not in the top ten after all. Although his talent in the Dao of Talismans is outstanding, he has only cultivated for a short period of time. If he wants to compete with us for the Beast Scripture inheritance, hehe, it’s not that I’m conceited, but so what if I give him another hundred years!”
The other main hall-level cores nodded one after another.
“Indeed, if he was given a few hundred years, he might really be able to comprehend two skills and enter the top three of the Glory Ranking, and compete with me. However, it’s simply a fool’s dream to do it in the few years before the calamity arrives!”
A core member couldn’t help but sigh. “The top three of Glory is an existence that even we have to look up to.”
As soon as he said this, everyone’s expressions instantly became complicated..
