"Attack the Eastern Emperor Pillar? Isn’t that similar to the testing stele in the cultivation world!" Lin Tian was surprised, clicking his tongue in wonder and said, "Attacking can reveal comprehension and talent; this thing is quite remarkable!" Similar to the steles used for testing the disciples’ talent and strength, Lin Tian had seen countless of them in his previous life. He had also encountered many like the Eastern Emperor Pillar. The appearance of such a thing on this dilapidated Earth is somewhat incredible. Compared to the true cultivation continent, this place, Earth, is one of the most trashy and extremely backward planets. Although its technological civilization is considered decent! But for a cultivator, this place is a desert land! The appearance of a treasure like the Eastern Emperor Pillar here is truly surprising. Especially, the runes on the Eastern Emperor Pillar, Lin Tian could not even decipher them. To him, those runes were as inscrutable and mysterious as when he first encountered the cultivation methods, a complete mystery that he could not penetrate. "It really is extremely wondrous!" Ye Lan nodded and replied, "When using the same combat skills to attack the pillar, those with strong comprehension have a deeper understanding of the combat skills; when they display them, the attack becomes more formidable, and different colors will appear on the pillar. Generally, it differentiates into Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple! Among them, Red Grade is the weakest, and Purple Grade is the strongest!" "Most people usually can reach Red Grade and Orange Grade! But they cannot meet the requirements of Sword Saint Mountain; these younger generations at most enter other small sects present here! If possible later, our Tianlan Sect also wants to recruit some talents! Alas..." Speaking of this, Ye Lan couldn’t help but sigh, and then, to dispel Lin Tian’s confusion, she patiently explained again, "To enter the subsequent martial arts conference actual combat stage, those who catch Sword Saint Mountain’s eyes must at least have Yellow Grade comprehension, which is a basic threshold! And the Green Grade level behind indicates rare geniuses; with effort, they can easily join the ranks of Sword Saint Mountain’s prodigies! As for the Blue Grade... it’s too rare and difficult! Those kinds of geniuses should only appear in the Central Continent! As for the Blue Grade and Purple Grade... they are legendary existences, at least, nobody has ever heard of them!" Such a classification method? However, it is more intuitive than other methods! Lin Tian was secretly amazed, nodded, and said, "Then before the testing and competition, participants can choose a guiding master or mentoring senior themselves?" "Daoist Lin, that’s correct! Whether one can advance during testing and actual combat, the guidance is extremely crucial!" Ye Lan nodded in response, then after some deliberation, she said, "So I have a suggestion, since Daoist Lin is now Qing Wan’s master, why not act as her mentor?" "That’s not an issue!" Lin Tian agreed readily, Yun Qingwan wanted to participate, and he certainly wouldn’t hesitate to assist, but perplexed, he asked, "But in doing so, it means I can’t go up to support?" "Naturally, it’s not possible!" Ye Lan shook her head in response. Upon hearing this, Lin Tian regretted inwardly, and couldn’t help but look toward Huangfu Cheng and others not far away. The original agreement was to assist, now wanting to help yet unable to do so. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel(ꜰ)ire.net As for guidance, there’s Yun Qingwan here; he is powerless to help others. During Lin Tian and Ye Lan’s conversation, people from other sect powers kept arriving. "Haha, Daoist Jiang, you are finally here..." "Mr. Hu, we haven’t seen each other for half a year, and you’ve entered the mid-stage Foundation Establishment! Congratulations..." "Old Qiu, your Qiu is now at Qi Refining Fifth Level; we haven’t seen each other in a while, and you’ve progressed again, quite a talent..." At the various aisle entrances of the viewing platform, people kept appearing, with continuous polite greetings and exchanges being heard. "It’s the people from Tianyang Sect!" "They actually came together; aren’t they archenemies in the Chaoyun cultivation realm!" "Humph, what do you know! Archenemies are confined to their own territories, now outside, naturally they come together to face external threats!" "My goodness, both Chen Yu and Ximen Yi are here! They’re chatting and laughing! They are competitors on the new talent rankings of East Continent, this scene is truly peculiar!" "Ximen Yi, the newly rising genius of Chaoyun Sect, directly leaped to ninth place on the new talent rankings! Very low-key in demeanor, previously ranked tenth, Yan Shi tried challenging multiple times, yet Ximen Yi refused to fight! Many now say that Ximen Yi is unworthy to be ranked above Yan Shi at ninth, merely because his cultivation is slightly higher than Yan Shi!" "When pressured by others, naturally there’s dissatisfaction! But Ximen Yi’s refusal to fight leaves no room for recourse! With the martial arts conference now beginning, Yan Shi will surely challenge again on the spot, Ximen Yi cannot avoid the battle anymore!" "Haha, this time there will be good drama!" "Actually, what truly upsets Yan Shi more is Chen Yu of Tianyang Sect; he’s only at Qi Refining Seventh Level! But there are rumors he encountered an opportunity, has ancient cultivation techniques, defeated Yan Shi, directly ascending to seventh place on the new talent rankings!" As people’s discussions continued, the two groups outside had already stepped in. Leading the way were two middle-aged men, followed closely by two women. Next was a group of young men and women, each with proud looks on their faces. "Hee Xuan, Xiao Zihan!" Lin Tian glanced over, upon recognizing the two individuals at the front, he was quite surprised to see that following behind them was Hee Lingxuan, whom he had seen at the Kong Family banquet in Bin City. Hee Xuan and Xiao Zihan appeared in Bin City, Lin Tian interrupted their cultivation breakthrough, causing Xiao Zihan to be severely injured. Afterward, Lin Tian helped to heal him, which in turn allowed him to enter the Foundation Establishment Stage. To meet them here again. However, Lin Tian was not surprised. Earlier, Hee Xuan and Xiao Zihan had acted as envoys for the East Continent Martial Arts Gathering and traveled to the Southern Continent, their presence here is unsurprising. "This time, Qing Wan might have some difficulty!" At this moment, Ye Lan suddenly spoke, sighing, "This time, even the new talents of Tianyang Sect and Chaoyun Sect have come! It seems like they all want to have some of the younger generation join Sword Saint Mountain in one fell swoop! As long as they can associate with Sword Saint Mountain, their own sect will grow stronger invisibly!" Lin Tian asked curiously, "Is it about Ximen Yi and Chen Yu that they were discussing earlier?" "Daoist Lin, it’s not. Ximen Yi and Chen Yu, along with Yan Shi, are new talent ranking geniuses! They have, all joined Sword Saint Mountain! This is why the various sects present are so in awe of Tianyang Sect and Chaoyun Sect!" Ye Lan shook her head, looking towards the leading individuals from Tianyang Sect and Chaoyun Sect and other newcomers, she said, "The new talents refer to recently emerging geniuses. Apart from Tianyang Sect’s Bu Sheng and over ten others, there are also up-and-coming talents from major sects such as Chaoyun Sect, River God Sect... They might seize the core disciple spots of our Sword Saint Mountain..."
