Chapter 1107: Chapter 1107: Representatives of the Wentian Sect Attend the Ceremony
"Cultivating top-tier Divine Skills?" Long Xuan sneered upon hearing this, "Top-tier Divine Skills aren’t so easy to cultivate. Even if he practiced hard, it’s impossible for him to reach the Minor Accomplishment Realm of a top-tier Divine Skill within a few days."
"Word has it that Young Master Tianxin has returned from the Red Flame Mountain Range," Long Zhi suddenly said.
Previously, Young Master Tianxin had been cultivating in the Red Flame Mountain Range and did not participate in the Netherworld Corpse Sea trials. However, as a manager of the Sword Hall, he had to return to take part in the Academy’s managerial assessment.
"I wonder how Young Master Tianxin’s cultivation went in the Red Flame Mountain Range." Mentioning Young Master Tianxin, even Long Xuan’s tone shifted, laced with reverence.
Although He Tianxin, Young Master Tianxin, did not practice as many Supreme Divine Techniques as Lan Ye, he was the disciple who had cultivated the most Supreme Divine Techniques to Perfection Realm.
He had already brought thirty Supreme Divine Techniques to the Perfection Realm.
And he had even taken nine Supreme Divine Techniques to the Summit Mastery level!
How astonishing!
Keep in mind, as one of the Four Foremost Sword Dao Prodigies, Long Xuan had only managed to cultivate ten Supreme Divine Techniques to the Perfection Realm.
"This managerial assessment, Young Master Tianxin should be able to take first place, right?" Long Zhi also said with a tone of awe.
"Young Master Tianxin is definitely first," Long Xuan nodded in agreement.
Elder Li Yuan from the Book Pavilion furrowed his brows at the sight of Yang Xiaotian returning and then staying in his Cave Mansion without leaving or coming to the Book Pavilion to borrow Divine Skills for cultivation. Could it be that Yang had given up on this managerial assessment?
The days passed by in the blink of an eye.
Finally, the day of the Guiyi Academy’s managerial assessment arrived.
Yang Xiaotian emerged from his Cave Mansion.
The sunshine was brilliant.
He stretched lazily.
Just now, he had finally cultivated two hundred Supreme Divine Skills to the Minor Accomplishment Realm.
However, the road ahead was long, and it was still a far cry from his goal of cultivating a thousand Supreme Divine Skills.
Moreover, at present, his two hundred Supreme Divine Skills had only reached the Minor Accomplishment Realm, with only three of them reaching Great Accomplishment, still far from the Perfection Realm.
It was relatively easy to cultivate a Divine Skill to the Minor and Great Accomplishment Realms, but to reach the Perfection Realm was much more difficult.
Yang Xiaotian flew toward the Book Pavilion.
Today was the day of the managerial assessment, and he needed to meet up with the other managers from the Book Pavilion before heading together to the Assessment Square.
Besides him, there was one other manager in the Book Pavilion, a woman, whom he had never met despite having been in the Book Pavilion for over a year.
Upon arrival at the Book Pavilion, he saw Elder Li Yuan already waiting for him, along with a woman in white clothing, who was quite pretty and must be the other manager from the Book Pavilion, Liu Yishi.
This Liu Yishi had joined the Book Pavilion several decades before him.
"Yang." Elder Li Yuan, seeing Yang Xiaotian from afar, called out to him.
Yang Xiaotian approached Elder Li Yuan and greeted him with clasped hands and a smile, "Elder, I pay my respects."
Li Yuan looked Yang Xiaotian up and down and nodded with a smile, "Looking good. These days you were out, did your cultivation level increase?"
Yang Xiaotian smiled, "I did have some fortuitous encounters in the past days, and my cultivation level has indeed risen a bit."
This time, not only had he consumed the Twelve Grade Golden Lotus to break through to the Fifth Tribulation Heavely Grade of the Divine Emperor, but he had also cultivated a large batch of Pure Land Supreme Divine Techniques. His strength had increased, and not just by a little.
"That’s good to hear," Li Yuan said with a smile.
Liu Yishi spoke with a stern face, "You’ve improved your cultivation a bit? Just don’t bring shame to our Book Pavilion."
Regarding the new steward of the Book Pavilion whose Martial Dao Talent was mediocre, she had heard of him, and moreover, many disciples of the academy were saying that this person named Divine Yang had not yet learned a single Divine Skill.
As a steward of the Book Pavilion, if Yang Xiaotian did not know any Divine Skills, it would be her shame as well if the Book Pavilion was disgraced.
After speaking, Liu Yishi soared into the air and flew towards the Assessment Square.
Li Yuan took Yang Xiaotian and flew towards the Assessment Square as well. Li Yuan felt a bit awkward and said to Xiaotian with a smile, "This Liu girl is just like that, don’t take it to heart."
"She’s cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Once you get to know her better, you’ll understand."
Yang Xiaotian nodded.
He had also heard about this Liu Yishi; she was from the Liu Family.
The Liu Family wasn’t from the Guiyi Continent but from the Luoyue Continent adjacent to the Guiyi Continent, a super-large family there.
Li Yuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "I just received news that for this assessment, the Wentian Sect Master and Senior Tian Sheng Medicine God will be leading their disciples to attend the ceremony."
Yang Xiaotian was startled and quite surprised, "The people from Wentian Sect are coming to attend the ceremony?"
Li Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, it seems that the Wentian Sect Master and Senior Tian Sheng have decided to come on a whim." Then he added, "You’ve only joined the Book Pavilion for a little over a year, so during the assessment, if you come in last place, the Dean will probably not hold you accountable, out of respect for the Book Ancestor."
Yang Xiaotian replied with a smile, "Elder Li, there’s no need." Then he said, "I should not be the last one in the assessment later."
Not the last one?
Li Yuan was astonished and couldn’t help but doubt; had Yang developed a Divine Skill in these past days?
By then, the three of them had already arrived at the Assessment Square, and it was no longer appropriate for Li Yuan to ask further questions.
Sword Pavilion Elder Zhang Yue had arrived at the square with Long Xuan, Long Zhi, and others, including Lan Ye and Young Master Tianxin He Tianxin, as well as Yi Qi.
These individuals were all stewards of the Sword Pavilion. Although Long Zhi had not been with the Sword Pavilion for long, his cultivation and Sword Dao Talent were commendable, and with the support of the Long Family, he had already become a Sword Pavilion steward.
When Elder Zhang Yue saw Li Yuan and Yang Xiaotian approaching, he said to Li Yuan with a smile, "Elder Li, is he the new steward recruited by your Book Pavilion?"
"I heard his Martial Dao Talent is ordinary, and he is now at the Fourfold of the Divine Emperor, yet he hasn’t mastered a single Divine Skill."
"If he can’t demonstrate any Divine Skills later, and the people from Wentian Sect see this, not even the Book Ancestor himself could save him!"
Li Yuan furrowed his brow; this was precisely what he worried about. If it were a regular assessment, the Dean would overlook it out of consideration for the Book Ancestor, but this time, with the presence of people from Wentian Sect, the nature of the incident was different. If a steward from Guiyi Academy couldn’t even perform one Divine Skill, it would become a laughingstock if word got out.
When that happened, the Dean would definitely hold someone accountable!
As various stewards of the academy arrived, in no time, Guiyi Academy’s Dean Lan Hongchang along with Wentian Sect and other high-ranking officials also flew in through the sky.
"Greetings to the Dean, Sect Master Li, Senior Tian Sheng."
Upon the arrival of Lan Hongchang, Li Ying, Tian Sheng Medicine God and others, everyone bowed respectfully.
Li Ying and Tian Sheng Medicine God nodded to everyone. Li Ying said to Lan Hongchang with a smile, "We apologize for our sudden visit, Dean Lan, please don’t take offense."
Dean Lan Hongchang replied with a smile, "Sect Master Li and Senior Tian Sheng are too polite."
Then he turned to Yang Xiaotian and the other Guiyi Academy stewards and said loudly, "In addition to attending the ceremony, Sect Master Li and Senior Tian Sheng have also suggested that the stewards of Wentian Sect would like to engage in several friendly spars with our Guiyi Academy’s stewards."
He continued, "Sect Master Li has said that for every match our Guiyi Academy stewards win, they will receive ten Sixth Tribulation Heavenly Grade Sovereign Pills."
With that, an elder from Wentian Sect opened a box, and inside were dozens of Sixth Tribulation Heavenly Grade Sovereign Pills.
The fragrance of the pills was overwhelming.
Listening to the reward of ten Sixth Tribulation Heavenly Grade Sovereign Pills for winning a match, the stewards of Guiyi Academy were astounded.
Yang Xiaotian looked at those Sixth Tribulation Heavenly Grade Sovereign Pills, and couldn’t help but be stunned; weren’t these the same Sixth Tribulation Heavenly Grade Sovereign Pills he had refined some days ago?
