My Informative Cultivation Life

Wang Tianli smiled faintly and looked toward Zangxian Observatory, saying, "The Dao child of Zangxian Observatory is named Cang Xuan, and he too is a genius who has slain three Dao Calamities."

Dressed in a purple robe and exuding an unearthly quality, Cang Xuan sat with a whisk in hand, like a truly enlightened being.

He gave a slight smile in this direction as a way to say hello.

"As for the Dao child of Immortal Sword Sect, Jian Xiaoyao whom you've met, he is also a genius who has slain three Dao Calamities," Wang Tianli said with a laugh.

"Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!" Jian Xiaoyao drank a gulp of wine, waving his hand dismissively with a carefree laugh.

Wang Tianli seemed to be speaking in a soft voice, yet everyone present was a figure of great ability, and they could hear conversations from as far as two or three li away.

In fact, he was using his own connections to introduce these Dao children to Yang Ji.

Yang Ji naturally felt grateful for such a favor.

Dao children are extraordinary individuals, called Junior Immortal Kings, the children of the Great Dao—ordinary people can hardly even dream of conversing with them, let alone catching a glimpse.

Thanks to Wang Tianli's connections, Yang Ji had just met so many Dao children, and truly, it was an occasion to shine brightly. Experience tales at m v|l e'm,p| y- r

Should he encounter them later, with Wang Tianli's relationship, those Dao children would likely be kind enough not to ignore him outright.

What seemed like Wang Tianli's casual speech was actually a great favor, and Yang Ji quietly took note of it in his heart.

Everyone present was an astonishing talent, elites of their respective Sects, and now ten Dao children, ten true inheritors were gathered in one place for such a grand assembly, something only seen on such prestigious occasions.

As Yang Ji and the others sized up those around them, others were likewise examining them—their glances, though light, counted as a meeting.

Having met in this way, any future encounters wouldn't feel so unfamiliar.

They sat there but for a moment, and soon, an elder flew from the horizon and landed on the Sword Appraisal Platform.

With a wave of his hand, an array of exquisite sword boxes immediately appeared lined up on the platform.

Then, with a slight smile, he said, "I am Elder Jianyun from the Immortal Sword Sect. First of all, I represent the Immortal Sword Sect in welcoming all of you here."

"Our Sect's Sword Appraisal event occurs once every thousand years, and I believe all of you are familiar with the rules."

"Each Sect may send one Disciple onto the platform to appraise swords, choosing from forty-nine available swords. The higher the grade of the chosen sword, the higher their rank will be."

"The top three Sects will grant all of their Disciples attending the event the qualification to go to Sword Peak and select an Immortal Sword."

"I must tell you in advance that these forty-nine swords have been subjected to various prohibitions and layered seals; they are not easy to appraise at first glance, and what you feel with your heart might not be the truth, either."

"Among the forty-nine swords, there are both good and bad. Whether you can find a hidden gem depends on your own fortune."

"Oh, and one more thing, the swords probed by the participating Disciples will belong to them!" said Elder Jianyun with a slight smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone cast keen glances at the forty-nine sword boxes, their thoughts subtly stirred.

The sword-forging arts of the Immortal Sword Sect were known throughout the land, and who wouldn't be tempted by the prospect of winning an extraordinary sword at the Sword Appraisal event?

The Immortal Sword Sect, being a major Sect, often placed three or four Dao Instruments within the event as a display of grandeur. If one could appraise such treasures, they would get to take them home—this was an opportunity.

Yet, this wasn't the greatest opportunity—the greatest chance lay at Sword Peak!

Rumors had it that Supreme Dao Instruments existed on Sword Peak, and if one could venture there, that would be a truly significant fortune.

Understanding the stakes, the various major Sects quietly discussed amongst themselves to determine their chosen representatives.

"Tian Li, Hao Yun, which of you two will go?" Ji Shen asked the two in a light tone.

"Elder, allow me to give it a try!" Suddenly, Yang Ji looked toward Elder Ji Shen and made his proposal.
