Chapter 1300: A Genius From A Mortal Star

The outer sect's abodes were in an uproar, with constant communication between the various immortal islands. Unprecedented events had shocked countless cultivators, yet none of this could disturb the lofty Heavenly Hall.

Above countless immortal islands, the Heavenly Hall, shrouded in radiant light, overlooked all things. All noise was isolated by supreme restrictions. Only elite disciples with special tokens or those of high status could enter.

This sacred place, as bright as the moon, was the center of Frostwind Island.

Only those qualified to enter the Heavenly Hall were considered true elites. And those people or matters mentioned by the Heavenly Hall were undoubtedly significant. The commotion in the outer sect was naturally unworthy of disturbing the tranquility here.

At this moment.

Within the multi-layered buildings of the Heavenly Hall, two people entered a side hall, bowing and reporting to their superior about their observations on Lan Star.

After a lengthy report, the composed and beautiful woman remained calm.

Even upon hearing about the demonic creatures on Lan Star, this capable woman showed no change in expression, as if such events were of little consequence to her, merely routine.

Only after the two had finished their report did she set down her teacup and slowly raise her cold eyes.

Her red lips parted, and she spoke in a detached tone.

"The demonic clan has been increasingly active lately. You must remain vigilant and not slack off in the slightest. I will report this matter."

The two bowed respectfully, their faces filled with reverence.

The man hesitated for a moment before finally speaking up.

"Elder Yuwen, during our journey, we encountered a cultivator from Lan Star named Yi Feng. This person has remarkable talent and an excellent temperament, so we brought him to the outer sect. He is truly a rare talent..."

The woman standing beside him also bowed respectfully, choosing her words carefully.

"Elder, this person is indeed a promising talent."

Lan Star was merely a mortal star, far less resource-rich than Yuan Star, yet it produced a cultivator capable of slaying demons. His talent was undeniable, almost monstrous, and naturally deserved cultivation.

The two were quite impressed with Yi Feng, hence their exceptional recommendation. They were unwilling to let such a rare talent stagnate due to lack of resources, both out of personal favor and for the greater good of humanity.

However.

After their anxious recommendation, the seated woman merely responded indifferently.

"His entry into Frostwind Island is a stroke of fortune, the greatest blessing of his life. If not for the demonic clan's recent activities and the urgent need to cultivate elites to counter them, we would not have made an exception to allow a mortal star cultivator to participate. How else could he have had such an opportunity?"

"Since he's here, let him stay in the outer sect for now. With the blessings of the outer sect's abode and diligent cultivation, he should become somewhat useful. Even if he can't compare to our Yuan Star cultivators, he shouldn't be too weak."

Her cold words remained detached, exuding an air of authority.

The two bowed even lower, their expressions still filled with respect.

Even though her words were harsh, they were not surprised, nor did they hold any resentment.

Yuwen Qianyue was a genius like a shining pearl, now holding the esteemed position of Elder in Frostwind Island, overseeing several outer sect disciples, including themselves.

She was born an unparalleled genius, having effortlessly reached the Desolate Realm in her youth. Her words and actions naturally reflected her high standards. Ordinary cultivators from minor stars could hardly catch her attention, and it was only natural that she paid little heed to those from mortal stars.

Mortal stars were simply too barren. Cultivators from such small planets, whether in talent or cultivation, were far inferior. It was almost impossible for someone like her to take notice of them.

Hearing Yuwen Qianyue's indifferent words, the two had no objections.

However.

Thinking of Yi Feng's unique qualities, the man still insisted on speaking up again.

"Elder Yuwen, forgive me for speaking out of turn."

"Although Yi Feng comes from Lan Star, he was able to slay two demonic creatures, which shows his exceptional talent. Moreover, he speaks with composure and openly admitted to killing a star lord, indicating his integrity and character are commendable."

"Such a person, even if his current cultivation is lacking due to his origins, is indeed a promising talent in other aspects. With proper resources and training, he will surely achieve great things in time!"

His anxious words were filled with urgency.

Most people would be intrigued by such high praise and might take notice of Yi Feng, curious to see if this mortal star cultivator truly had extraordinary qualities.

Unfortunately.

To Yuwen Qianyue, these words still carried little weight.

Her clear eyes remained as indifferent as ever, showing no ripple of emotion. Her jade hand slowly lifted the Starfall Sand Teapot, and fragrant tea poured out in a perfect arc, filling the teacup like pearls falling into a plate.

Her flawless movements, combined with the precise motion of her jade hand, were a visual delight even from a distance.

After a few moments of silence.

The two stood with clasped fists, their hearts filled with anxiety.

Yuwen Qianyue leisurely finished brewing the tea, easily seeing through the thoughts in their eyes.

While their desire to nurture talent was commendable, the world rarely produced such exceptional geniuses.

Especially from a mere mortal star?

Yuwen Qianyue had long seen through the ways of the world, and her eyes no longer held any regard for mediocrity. She spoke slowly, her voice still cold.

"A mortal star cultivator is not worth our effort."

"If we are to cultivate true elites, we should at least choose someone like An Shixuan. Even if his character is lacking, his cultivation and talent are passable, and he can be considered a talent."

"How does the mortal star cultivator you speak of compare to An Shixuan?"

At these words, the two widened their eyes in shock.

"Elder, how can this be?"

"An Shixuan comes from a prestigious background, having enjoyed countless resources since childhood. Yi Feng is merely from a mortal star. How can he compare to such a noble scion..."

"Indeed, the gap in their origins is too vast. If Yi Feng had the same resources, he might not be inferior to An Shixuan now. With proper cultivation, he is sure to achieve great things!"

Seeing them grow more anxious, as if they had truly encountered a genius.

Yuwen Qianyue finally lost her patience and spoke with a cold gaze.

"I have made my decision. This matter need not be discussed further."

Her words silenced all objections!

No matter how much they regretted it, the Elder's words were absolute, and they could not voice any dissent.

The two could only bow respectfully and prepare to take their leave.

At that moment.

An elite disciple entered the hall, holding a token and bowing urgently!

"Elder!"

"Something terrible has happened! An Shixuan and a new outer sect disciple got into a fight, and his limbs were broken!"

Whoosh!

The shocking news made the two turn back, their eyes filled with anger.

Yuwen Qianyue, however, remained calm, as if this were nothing unusual.

"Him again."

"How is the new disciple's condition? Can his broken limbs be reattached? Will it affect his future cultivation and state of mind?"

After her cold questions, the two waiting disciples sighed inwardly.

In this world, strength was paramount. This was the truth.

Even though An Shixuan had a vile character, his talent and cultivation were exceptional, deserving of more attention. Even if he caused a major incident, Elder Yuwen, bound by the greater situation, could not reprimand him harshly and could only show concern for the poor, weak disciple.

Ah, the harsh reality.

Just as the two sighed in resignation, the bowing disciple looked troubled!

"Re-reporting to the Elder!"

"The one with broken limbs is An Shixuan!"

Huh?

The three were stunned, their eyes widening in shock.
