Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 1138: Chapter 40: A Beginning and an End

However, Huangtian’s attitude was very subtle.

He communicated with his sister Huang Yue and other strong figures of the same period like Long Lie.

“The True Saint’s disciple selection, our Source Star has quite an advantage. If they broaden the age limit, it might be difficult for us, but within three thousand years, the Source Star has a great advantage.”

Huangtian shook his head: “Not necessarily, this time the True Saint directly notified the Lifeless Sect and its forces from the old land. Don’t you think there’s something unusual?”

“Prime Minister, are you suggesting that the True Saint only wants to choose from the old land?”

“Not only that, I’m afraid someone has already been predetermined. The True Saint’s disciple selection might have started assessments long ago; this time it may just be a procedure.”

“Prime Minister, should we still send people to participate this time?”

Huangtian smiled and said: “I’m saying this just to let you not have too high expectations. We must participate in the selection. Besides disciple positions, the True Saint’s Immortal Fruit feast offers many things worth fighting for. Prepare as best you can!”

The Immortal Fruit feast aroused the calm starry sky once more.

On a resource planet.

“Liang Guang, have you received the news? The True Saint is selecting disciples. You should meet the conditions too. Your strength is not weak among your peers. Want to go participate? This is a great opportunity. If you can become the True Saint’s disciple, that’s like reaching the top in one step. The True Saint is a Supreme beyond the Saint Emperor. With a Supreme backing you, you’d be unstoppable in the starry sky!”

“Of course I want to go, I’ve been waiting for this for a long time…”

Liang Guang showed an inexplicable smile, and his companion looked puzzled.

But in the end, he said: “It’s good if you’re confident.”

Liang Guang gazed into the distance.

Stepping into the starry sky has been almost two thousand years.

Upon entering the starry sky, he realized the vastness of the starlit sea.

The starry sky is filled with countless strong figures; the Eighth Realm is nothing, just a mere ant in front of real powerhouses.

On slightly stronger planets, at most, only mid-level, referred to as Venerables.

Above them are Earth Venerables, Great Venerables, and then the true entry into the realm of powerhouses, Saints, and at the peak, the Saint Emperor.

Upon first entering the starry sky, he immediately went to understand the name “Wu Sheng.”

Originally thought it would take some effort, but it turned out unexpectedly smooth.

The name “Wu Sheng.”

Lifeless True Saint, undoubtedly the first in the starry sky.

Any world connected to the Virtual World network knows of the Lifeless True Saint’s existence.

And because of this understanding, he realized that above the Saint Emperor, there is the Thirteen Realms, named Supreme.

It’s just that only the Lifeless True Saint reached it, few understand or mention it.

The moment he learned of it, he knew that this was the Sect Leader he was looking for.

But similarly, this meant it was extremely difficult, almost impossible, to reach the Sect Leader.

He knows the Sect Leader won’t give him tasks he cannot complete.

Sure enough, the opportunity came.

A real chance to stand before the Sect Leader.

Soon, he will be close to three thousand years old, meaning this is his last chance.

“I must win and become the True Saint’s disciple!”

Time flowed, the selection for the Immortal Fruit feast began.

The selection was incredibly fair, no force dared to tamper or fish in troubled waters.

Because everyone knows that in the starry sky, no one can deceive the True Saint.

Besides, every selection place has people from the Lifeless Sect.

These people, as believers, won’t reason.

This time, more people participated in the selection. Three years passed, and the selection ended.

Then they were transported to the Daoist School to conduct the final competition.

Wang Sheng casually glanced at the “young generation” participating in the competition.

The Saint Emperors spectating all followed his gaze.

Trying to find someone he favored, but after looking for a long time, there was no result.

Liang Guang closed his eyes, adjusting his state.

The number one of the starry sky recruiting followers attracted only the top figures.

If not for the True Saint’s gifts, he wouldn’t have persisted until now.

Of course, to his friends, he is already extraordinary; this is a feast across two realms of starry skies.

“Liang Guang, you really made it, entered the top hundred, right?” Among the young generation in the starry sky, the top hundred is already astonishing.

Even if not chosen by the True Saint, he probably caught the eyes of many big figures, still climbing high.

Liang Guang remained silent.

He wanted to take first place and become a True Saint disciple.

But now, entering the top hundred almost exhausted all his trump cards.

To go further wasn’t simple; the top fifty was probably his limit.

Wanting to move further.

He shook his head silently.

“Compared to those monsters, I have no chance at all.”

After leaving Floating Light Star, he experienced countless events. With the resources from the Sect Leader, he barely climbed from the Eighth Realm to the Ninth Realm.

But in this competition, there were over fifty Tenth Realm Great Venerables.

If facing them, he had no chance.

His companion naturally noticed his expression, quickly understanding what he was thinking, and said: “No way, you’re not planning to compete with those monsters, are you? I’ve heard those monsters either come from forces with top-tier Saint Emperors, or originate from the True Saint’s hometown; their resources are countless times better than ours, incomparable—it’s already impressive to be in the top hundred.”

“Of course I know, but I want more!”

The next match quickly began.

Liang Guang was lucky; his opponent was of the same realm.

Finally, exhausting everything, he won, but this was also his limit.

To progress further, he did not have the strength.

Seeing all this, Wang Sheng smiled.

“It’s already enough!”

Numerous Saint Emperors were shocked by his expression.

“Has the True Saint already favored someone?”

Many had suspicions.

Indeed, in the Daoist School, injuries could be quickly healed, but against the gap of major realms, he did not achieve cross-realm victory like the protagonist, losing miserably.

And the final Saint was a cultivator from Source Star and Qingshan Holy Land, the one who defeated Liang Guang.

As Wang Sheng’s base, the conditions of Qingshan Holy Land were too good. It was no surprise they won.

Someone congratulated him.

“Congratulations, you took first place; you should become the True Saint’s disciple.”

But he shook his head.

“It won’t be me.”

As someone from Qingshan Holy Land, he knew a lot; he was aware that this selection was just a True Saint-prepared test.

It’s uncertain if the intended person passed the test.

Meanwhile, Liang Guang felt dejected, for not taking first place and not standing before the Sect Leader.

“Missed the chance?”

“No, you haven’t; you’re already qualified!” Wang Sheng appeared beside him.

“Sect Leader.” Liang Guang was a bit emotional, quickly falling silent, “Sorry, I seem to have failed.”

Wang Sheng chuckled, said: “I never said you need to get first to be my disciple.”

“This, Sect Leader, no, True Saint… Is it really possible? Not getting first place before accepting me as a disciple won’t embarrass you?”

“Embarrassed? In this starry sky, there’s nothing that can embarrass me. If you insist on thinking so, then cultivate well.”

“Yes, Master.” At this point, Liang Guang wouldn’t be pretentious.

“Hmm, rest well; afterward, I’ll pass on the Cultivation Technique and send you to train.”

Before everyone’s eyes, Liang Guang was made a True Saint Disciple, shocking many.

Nobody expected the disciple selected by the True Saint didn’t even make it to the top fifty.

Many participants were unconvinced, but none dared show it.

Engulfed in excitement, Liang Guang didn’t notice this.

Wang Sheng’s focus was on Liang Guang’s Destiny Threads.

Liang Guang’s Destiny Threads could only show detailed destiny for the coming century, while the overall destiny remained at the moment he became a disciple.

This meant Liang Guang’s visible Destiny Threads had reached.

And thus, closed.

Destiny had never been so clear.

“So that’s it; this is destiny, with a beginning and an end…”
