Kong Qingquan and Zhao Qixian noticed Xu Nian approaching them, and they also sensed the faint Nascent Soul Aura emanating from him.
Back then, when they had left, Xu Nian had been merely at the Qi Cultivation Realm.
How long had it been?
Xu Nian had already surpassed them, becoming a powerhouse of the Nascent Soul Realm?
Indeed, it was terrifying.
"Elders, it has been a long time."
Xu Nian stepped forward with a smile to greet them.
Kong Qingquan smiled, "We thought our appearance would surprise you greatly, but it turned out to be you who surprised us."
Zhao Qixian, at his side, also sighed.
There was no helping it. Xu Nian's Talent was too good, and his Realm improved rapidly. Even his disciples advanced quickly. How could they compare? There was no comparison!
"Elders, you are joking with me," Xu Nian said, shaking his head helplessly.
The reason he could advance so rapidly was entirely because the Players were so capable. If the Players hadn't worked hard to complete Tasks, how could he have achieved his current Realm?
While the three of them were talking and laughing, Sect Leader Sun also walked forward and addressed everyone present, "It is an honor for the Celestial Splendor Sect to host the Northern Wilderness Conference this time. I thank you all here in advance."
These were merely routine courtesies. Every sect in charge had to prepare such remarks.
"In this Northern Wilderness Conference, aside from the normal trades, there will also be competitions among the younger generation of disciples."
Sect Leader Sun continued with a smile, "The first competition will still be the usual Talent assessment involving all participating young disciples."
He slightly raised his hand, signaling a Celestial Splendor Sect Elder to get ready.
The Elder then brought out a huge Stone Stele and placed it in front of everyone.
All cultivators knew that this was the Talent Stele, used to test the cultivation Talent of the disciples.
If the Talent was good, bright colors would burst forth.
If the Talent was mediocre, the colors would be somewhat dim.
If the Talent was poor, it would be dim and lusterless.
The participants in the Northern Wilderness Conference were almost all exceptionally Talented individuals.
No power would want to embarrass themselves by bringing a disciple with poor Talent.
After all, it was a matter of prestige.
With so many participants, naturally, those with better Talent were more noticed and linked to the prestige of their powers and clans.
Based on previous Northern Wilderness Conferences, the weakest were those with mediocre Talent, but there was no lack of individuals with exceptional potential.
Xu Nian glanced back at the Talent Stele, inexplicably wanting to test his own Talent.
Given his situation, his Talent shouldn't be too bad, right? The bodies of the Players were crafted by the System. Old Mo possessed innate Talent, and he himself had gained the Immovable Bright King Body during the indiscriminate martial tournament. Consequently, his Talent was definitely very high. Although Dung Beetle was quirky, he was the only Player with a Wind Attribute, making him a special existence. He should be comparable to Liu Ruyan. Moreover, he also possessed the Sharingan, firmly establishing him as the top in Foundation Establishment. As for Half Dream, Half Wake, Half Life, he was the only Player who had chosen to cultivate in all five elements. He knew all the Five Elements Techniques, which was also why his Realm was lower. He had spent all his Contribution Points on Five Elements Techniques, so he wasn't in a hurry to significantly advance his Realm. These three should be more than solid.
"Let the disciples from Luminous Fire City come forward first," Zhou Fengqi suggested with a smile, glancing at Xu Nian.
The Profound Yellow Sect only had three disciples. My only concern is that Golden Core Realm disciple. He kicked someone in the Divinity Transformation Realm to death; I wonder how Talented he is?
The Celestial Splendor Sect Elder nodded and said, "Luminous Fire City disciples, step forward to test your Talent!"
Upon hearing this, a large group from Luminous Fire City stepped forward, with disciples from the Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core Realms.
They had brought over a hundred people this time. Naturally, not all of them could participate.
Bringing some Talented disciples out to gain experience was an accepted practice among the great powers.
"I'll go first!"
The Young City Lord stepped forward arrogantly, his Golden Core Realm aura also fully unleashed.
Feeling his strong Golden Core aura, many of the younger generation present showed solemn expressions.
He placed his hand on the Talent Stele, and within three breaths, the stele erupted with dazzling Purple Light!
The Purple Light signified a once-in-a-hundred-years Talent, clearly showing how terrifying the Young City Lord's cultivation Talent was.
Throughout the Northern Wilderness, there were not many with a Purple Talent.
Even Liu Ruyan of the Celestial Splendor Sect possessed only a Purple Talent.
Luminous Fire City had hidden their strength well!
"City Lord Zhou truly has a good son!"
"Purple Talent, even we old fellows can't compare. This young man will definitely become a great figure in the future!"
"Luminous Fire City has a promising future. Congratulations to City Lord Zhou!"
"With such Talent, as long as City Lord Zhou nurtures him well, the Northern Wilderness will surely see the rise of another great figure."
"..."
Those senior experts from various powers also began to curry favor.
Envy filled their eyes. Purple Talent, even among their great powers, was a rare occurrence.
"It's just good luck for my son," Zhou Fengqi said with a smile, his eyes also full of pride.
This is my own son, so his Talent naturally comes from me. Unless something unexpected happens, he will definitely be able to support the entire Luminous Fire City in the future.
The Young City Lord looked proudly at the others, his gaze finally resting on the three from the Profound Yellow Sect.
