Chapter 2093 - 2098: Commencement
"No need to mind me, Su Mu shall preside."As if a voice from the Heavenly Realm rang out, the pressure felt by Wan Xiu instantly dissipated.
Subsequently, Su Mu bowed respectfully, facing the crowd, and began to discuss the Ascension Conference's rules.
This scene caused countless cultivators to become restless.
They appeared invigorated as if they had been energized.
Such is the allure of a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator!
With a single utterance, even those with a revered Limitless status must bow with respect.
Nascent Soul Late Stage! Even Great Perfection, what of it.
Without Divinity Transformation cultivation, they are mere ants!
At any moment, they could be crushed by a mighty foot!
The arrival of the Central Continent envoy gave Wan Xiu an unspoken encouragement.
It made them even firmer in their resolve on the path of cultivation.
Nascent Soul Formation, Ascension to Godhood!
To stand above tens of thousands!
"I won't dwell on the Ascension Conference's rules. Anyone who uses a magic artifact to deceive about their talent or strength, the Alliance will thoroughly investigate, no matter who!"
With the Central Continent's envoy present, Su Mu naturally had to display a stern demeanor.
Only in this way could he intimidate the heroes!
Prevent those cultivators planning small tricks from entertaining such notions.
Sparing the Northern Realm from losing face before the Divinity Transformation Stage envoy from the Central Continent.
"This is the fifth Ascension Conference and the last one! Whether you become a dragon or phoenix depends on your own fate!"
Tap… tap…
The cultivators on the plaza responded to Su Mu with enthusiastic applause.
"I won't say much more, from today until the tenth day, the talents will be assessed. I hope those participating in the Ascension Conference perform well! Do not break the rules."
After speaking, Su Mu sat down, handing over the hosting role to a high-level member of the Alliance.
Under the watchful eyes of the Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators and the Central Continent envoy.
No one dared to act unruly.
Let alone using tricks to mix among the talents.
Once the Alliance and the great forces were enraged.
Those behind the troublemakers would likely be rooted out.
From the first day of the Ascension Conference, many eagerly climbed onto the stage to test their talents.
Firstly, testing spirit roots, secondly, testing origins.
Third, foundational energy body.
Fourth, showcasing the extreme technique, which was just a display of one's own power to broaden the horizons of the spectators.
At the same time, it's a step for other participants to glimpse the strength.
The passing mark for this is smashing a spirit column ten miles away.
If one does not exhibit Golden Pill Late Stage power, the spirit column will not change.
This assessment is also crucial.
Allowing Su Mu and other top Alliance members to gauge.
Because after the assessments conclude, in a short period.
They will head to the Central Continent.
For the final assessment.
By then, those holding the Ascension Command must face the pressure from other realm's peak talents.
Compete with them!
The final assessment, is age.
Because the Ascension Conference stipulates that no cultivator over a hundred years old may participate.
This being the last event, the assessment standards are more lenient.
As long as not unreasonably high.
Even the Central Continent envoy wouldn't mind.
The Alliance serves as the iron-clad guardian of Wan Xiu.
But they are flesh-and-blood cultivators, they would not act too ruthlessly.
As long as not over two hundred years, there would be no issue.
To form a Nascent Soul by two hundred years is considered rather talented in the Cultivation Realm.
But compared to true monstrous talents.
There's still a gap of several decades.
The most terrifying monster in history.
Formed Nascent Soul by a hundred years, it nearly erupted the entire Cultivation Realm at that time.
Later, this person achieved tremendous accomplishments.
It's hailed as the first monster across all time.
The first day of the Ascension Conference.
There were not many outstanding talents among the cultivators.
Just one seventy-year-old entering Golden Pill Late Stage caught the eye.
Unfortunately, this person ignored his appearance, looking rather aged.
Truly a pity.
Actually, everyone knows well, the participants with deep talents mostly appear later.
As they serve as the finale.
Those who went on stage early did so to avoid being overshadowed later by those monstrous talents.
Like Xia Liu taking the stage now, after a round of assessments.
If no subsequent talents comparable emerge, it likely won't stir the enthusiasm of everyone.
The most attention-grabbing place is the gigantic stele on the other side of Imperial Dragon Plaza.
Engraved on it are the Northern Realm's top twenty champions!
These people are all under a hundred years!
Anyone among them could test such talent, likely enough to astonish many.
Unfortunately, this group is exceptionally mysterious.
Besides elite forces having contact, ordinary cultivators have little chance to approach them.
The second day, the third day, still the same.
Few outstanding talents came forth.
Almost all were over half a century old, even over a hundred.
If viewed by commoners, fear would cause them to drop their teeth.
Those who seemed unable to walk, astonishingly came to compete.
The present cultivators understand this group of elders.
For the lifespan of cultivators is exceedingly long.
To delay aging, one must vigorously cultivate.
If one forms a core around forty and maintains oneself well previously.
Then even after two hundred years, they wouldn't appear old.
Enhancing the energy body also slows down physical aging.
Unfortunately, too many exhaust a lifetime only to fail the Foundation Establishment, let alone the even harder Golden Core Stage.
In many cultivators' eyes, the Golden Core Stage itself signifies strength, it represents talent!
In the solemn atmosphere of the assessment, many observing were left with no emotions.
Suspended above Imperial Dragon Plaza, even the top cultivators struggled to hide their bored expressions.
However, with the Central Continent envoy present, everyone held firm.
Daring not to display even a hint of laxness.
No one knows if their every move might provoke the wrath of a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator.
"Ah, Su Mu, this being the last Ascension Conference, shouldn't the Northern Realm display more than this?"
At the eighth day of the first-round assessment, the envoy couldn't help but sigh.
His words about standing out.
Were truly a mockery.
But to avoid hurting Su Mu and the Northern Realm cultivators' feelings, he didn't speak too harshly.
"Ahem, while these days haven't seen many monstrous talents emerge, I dare say that soon, existence will surely shock the envoy!"
Su Mu said with certainty.
If not for having met Xia Liu.
He absolutely wouldn't have such courage.
But now it's different.
If Xia Liu appears before the end of the first round assessment, he will surely astonish the Northern Realm!
Astound the Divinity Transformation Stage envoy from the Central Continent!
"Oh? Hearing you say so, my fatigue has vanished."
The envoy paused for a moment and continued: "Though you must realize, not many talents can enter the eyes of the true distinguished."
"Envoy, please rest assured, he will surely brighten your eyes!"
"You refer to those figures engraved on the stele?"
The envoy also keeps track of the Rising Stars God List across realms, but unfortunately, as time progresses.
The talents able to make the list are increasingly less promising...
