Soon, a young figure appeared before the Talent Crystal Pillar.
He was a young man of fifteen or sixteen, with an imposing bearing and a spirited air.
His appearance immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.
Even several elders were surprised by his arrival.
“Why has the Lin Family’s young master come?”
“Exactly. With the Lin Clan’s strength, they can completely cultivate him on their own.”
Hearing the elders’ discussion, Sacred Lord Xuanyuan Chen chuckled. “Looks like he came because of Hao’er.”
Naturally, discussions about Lin Tianci suddenly arose among the crowd as well.
“Is this Lin Tianci, the second place holder on the Eastern Region Prodigy Ranking and the young master of the imperial clan’s Lin Family? He really is impressive. I can’t even see through his realm.”
“He’s from an imperial clan. How could you possibly see through him? I’m already at the half-step origin core realm, and I can’t see through him at all, let alone you.”
“What is he here for? It looks like this recruitment ceremony will belong entirely to him.”
“Isn’t that so? Those two Seven-Star talents just now were already dazzling, but with him here, the two of them seem utterly eclipsed.”
While everyone was discussing excitedly, Lin Tianci had already placed his hand on the Talent Crystal Pillar.
Spiritual power poured into it.
Boom! Dazzling light flared.
In an instant, all nine stars lit up.
At this sight, the entire venue suddenly fell silent.
Hiss!
Only when a chorus of gasps rang out was the silence finally broken.
Above, the four elders also widened their eyes.
After all, this was only the second time they had seen a nine-star talent. The first had been Xuanyuan Hao.
A nine-star talent was, without a doubt, an event capable of shocking the world.
Because a nine-star talent meant that, once they matured, they would inevitably reach the emperor realm.
One had to understand that, in this era, not a single emperor realm expert had appeared for hundreds of thousands of years.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Chen was surprised, but not stunned.
After all, his own son also possessed a nine-star talent.
Within the void.
Looking at the glittering nine stars, Ye Chang'an and Shangguan Shi felt nothing in particular. They could only say that it was utterly ordinary.
They knew very well that this was merely the peak talent of the Tianhuang Continent.
But this world was vast—so vast that worlds like the Tianhuang Continent could be completely disregarded.
【Host, you should not look down on Lin Tianci’s talent too much. He possesses a supreme divine bone. Nine stars are not his talent limit, but the limit of this crystal pillar】
Just then, the system’s voice suddenly rang out in Ye Chang’an’s mind.
“Oh? A supreme divine bone? I only feel that, compared with my talent, his talent is no different from that of an ordinary person.”
Ye Chang’an laughed inwardly.
He was not exaggerating. This was the truth, his genuine impression.
【Hehe, host, you should not compare the Primordial Origin Body with other talents. That is truly impolite】
“Tsk. Forget my talent—even Little Ten’s talent is far superior to his.”
【Of course. The Primordial Divine Hall is not a place just anyone can enter】
“Is Lin Tianci qualified to enter the Primordial Divine Hall?”
Ye Chang’an suddenly asked on a whim.
【If he encounters no fortuitous opportunity in the future, he is still far from qualified】
Hearing the system’s words, Ye Chang’an was somewhat surprised.
He had expected the threshold for entering the Primordial Divine Hall to be high.
But he had not expected it to be this high.
After all, the system had just told him not to underestimate Lin Tianci’s talent.
The plaza below.
In the blink of an eye, it was Ye Xinran and Jin Xiaoya’s turn.
“Xinran, I’ll go try first.”
After saying this, Jin Xiaoya walked toward the crystal pillar.
Her appearance also drew attention, but it did not cause an uproar like Lin Tianci’s.
Clearly, almost no one present had heard of her.
Seeing the girl, Xuanyuan Chen felt puzzled.
He could sense that the golden-robed girl’s talent was extremely high. At only sixteen, she had already reached the heavenly spirit realm.
This talent was no weaker than that of his son, Xuanyuan Hao.
“Where did this genius come from...?”
Xuanyuan Chen muttered softly.
He thought for a long time, but could not figure it out.
While everyone, including Xuanyuan Hao, was curious about Jin Xiaoya, she had already placed one hand on the crystal pillar.
She likewise poured in spiritual power.
The next moment, another astonishing scene appeared.
The nine stars lit up instantly.
“Damn, what’s going on?! Another nine-star talent?”
“Who is this person? How did she quietly save something huge for last?”
“I thought Lin Tianci was the only main character this time. I never expected a mysterious girl to appear out of nowhere!”
After Lin Tianci finished testing his talent, he was brought to Xuanyuan Chen’s side.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Chen and the five elders all wore expressions of disbelief, while Lin Tianci’s eyes were brimming with battle intent.
They were all shocked by the mysterious girl who had emerged out of nowhere, but Lin Tianci felt even more excitement and motivation.
“Good, good, good. This is more like it. Let’s see which of the three of us is the Strongest Heaven’s Chosen.”
Lin Tianci thought this inwardly, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curving upward.
After testing her talent, Jin Xiaoya vanished from her original spot in an instant. When she appeared again, she was already beside Xuanyuan Chen.
She did not panic in the slightest. After all, Lin Tianci had just done the same thing.
“Little girl, what is your name?”
Xuanyuan Chen asked with a smile.
“Sacred lord, this junior is Jin Xiaoya.”
There was not the slightest trace of nervousness or fear in Jin Xiaoya’s voice.
“Not bad. You are neither servile nor overbearing. Are you willing to become my disciple?”
Xuanyuan Chen was very satisfied with Jin Xiaoya’s performance.
“This disciple is willing.”
Jin Xiaoya soon completed the ceremony of taking a master.
Just then, in the plaza below, Ye Xinran walked excitedly toward the crystal pillar.
“It’s finally my turn! Hahahaha, the protagonist of this era is about to make her entrance. Tremble, all you Heaven’s Chosen!”
Thinking this inwardly, Ye Xinran had already arrived before the Talent Crystal Pillar.
Above the plaza, Jin Xiaoya watched the Talent Crystal Pillar below with a serious expression.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Chen and Lin Tianci also looked over.
At that glance, the two of them froze.
Good heavens, this little girl’s talent was terrifyingly powerful.
Because Ye Xinran’s realm was concealed again, none of them could see it.
“Twelve years old, heavenly spirit realm!”
This time, Xuanyuan Chen and Lin Tianci truly could not remain composed.
At this age, she had actually reached the heavenly spirit realm.
They had never heard of or witnessed anything like this.
The other four elders were even more astonished and nearly lost their composure.
Everyone stared blankly at the Talent Crystal Pillar.
The next moment, the nine stars lit up instantly.
This scene once again sent the crowd into an uproar.
But Xuanyuan Chen and the others felt that it was only to be expected.
Just then, a pillar of light shot into the sky from the crystal pillar.
Bang!
With a bang, the light receded. The crystal pillar exploded, sending glittering crystal fragments flying in every direction.
This caused the previously uproarious crowd to fall silent in an instant.
The venue was terrifyingly quiet; one could hear a pin drop.
Everyone was dumbfounded, including Xuanyuan Chen, Jin Xiaoya, Lin Tianci, and the two dao protectors, Jin Chuan and Lin Hai, who remained hidden in the void.
Within the void above the plaza.
Looking at the scene, Ye Chang’an could not help but smile proudly. “Mm, as expected of my daughter. Why is everyone making such a fuss? Have you never seen a true heaven’s chosen before?”
