The plaza of the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain was paved entirely with Profound Yellow Stone, its smooth surface polished like a mirror, faintly reflecting the drifting clouds above.

Twelve Dragon Coiling Pillars stood tall at the plaza's edge, their tops burning with eternal Earth Fire Lamps, casting a solemn halo over this grand sect tournament held every fifty years.

More than three hundred young Inner Sect Disciples, all uniformly clad in moon white martial attire, were arranged in neat formations. These were the disciples who had joined in the past fifty years and belonged to the Xuan generation.

They had Identity Jade Scrolls hanging from their waists, spirit light flowing from them, and faint mana waves emanating from their bodies, with half at the Foundation Establishment Early-stage and Mid-stage, and a few reaching Late-stage Foundation Establishment.

Joining the Daoist Sect largely meant exceptional aptitude; a High Grade Spiritual Root was just the starting point, with most possessing Earth Grade Spiritual Roots. They also had to pass tests of character, perseverance, and comprehension.

If they had significant shortcomings in other areas, even an Earth Grade Spiritual Root couldn't ensure entry into the Daoist Sect; every chosen one was the best of the best!

At the front of the formation stood a massive White Jade Stele, carved with the ancient script "Daoist Sect Tournament."

The pen strokes carried the pressure left by High Tier Cultivators, causing the disciples to involuntarily restrain their Heart Spirits.

At the highest cloud sea, Han Lou True Monarch sat atop a Purple Gold Lotus Platform.

He wore a Profound Daoist Robe, with sleeves embroidered with patterns of Pill Furnace and stars, his gaze ancient and steady, sweeping slowly over the disciple formation below.

This grand meeting was personally presided over by him!

Evidently, the Three Elements Dao Sect encouraged diverse talents, but they also placed great importance on the disciples' combat power, with nearly half of the True Inheritors emerging from such tournaments.

On a slightly lower cloud platform, Golden Core Elders from various veins sat in rows, each with banners symbolizing their different veins behind them.

The Red Flame Banner of the Dan Vein, the Profound Talisman Banner of the Talisman Vein, the Cyan Blade Banner of the Sword Vein… the banners flapped in the mountain winds, the runes flickering, making the platform resemble a suspended Immortal Palace.

Chen Sheng sat in the central position of the platform, wearing a purple robe embroidered with cloud patterns and a Pill Furnace, a pale green Jade Ring hanging from his waist—an emblem of a Tier Three High Grade Alchemist.

Surrounding him were seven or eight Golden Core Elders from various veins, all with warm smiles on their faces.

Fifty years' time was enough for him to firmly establish himself in the sect, becoming a figure of power and influence.

Now, Chen Sheng had gradually assimilated the Alchemy Dao inheritance, becoming not only a Tier Three High Grade Alchemist but also unrivaled in the Realm-Breaking Elixir field.

He continuously improved pill formulas, incorporating exclusive refining techniques, surpassing even the Tier Three Top Level Alchemists of the Dan Vein in terms of the probability and quality of refined pills.

Unless a Tier Four True Monarch appears, others in this field couldn't compete with him at all.

The Realm-Breaking Elixirs he refined had become a golden signboard for the Daoist Sect and the surrounding Immortal Cities, with seekers needing to make reservations years in advance to have their wishes fulfilled.

Before long, Master Shi Fang walked up to Chen Sheng, casting his gaze upon the disciple formation below:

"Look at the third row from the left in the formation; Xihua and his brothers are standing there. Perhaps this time, they can contend for a True Inheritor spot."

Following his gaze, three young disciples standing tall and alert came into view.

The one in the center was Chen Sheng's ninth son, Chen Xihua, wearing cyan martial attire, bearing a resemblance to Chen Sheng with sharper features.

This forty-seven-year-old Late-stage Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator not only possessed an Earth Grade Gold Spirit Root but also showed great talent in Body Refining, having reached Body Refining Sixth Layer Perfection.

He had been thoroughly cultivated by Chen Sheng over the years and was one of the popular candidates for this tournament.

Beside him were Chen Sheng's other two offspring—Chen Xihai and Chen Ximei.

Both had Earth Grade Wood Spirit Roots, just over thirty years old, with steady and solid mana fluctuations, having reached Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

Chen Sheng smiled gently, speaking modestly:

"Xihai and Ximei are still young, their cultivation still shallow. Participating in the tournament is already a fortune, as for results, that's secondary."

"As for Xihua, it depends on his own fortune."

In fifty years, Chen Sheng not only advanced in Alchemy Dao but also established branches and leaves in Yue Country.

Besides these three progeny who successfully joined the Daoist Sect, he had nearly a hundred offspring whose slightly inferior aptitude prevented them from entering the sect. Instead, they flourished in the Tier Three High Grade Yunlan Mountain Dojo he purchased, establishing the Chen Clan.

Today, the Chen Clan of Yunlan Mountain was a renowned family in the Three Elements Immortal City!

In the third and fourth generations, though many had no Spiritual Root or Lower Grade Spiritual Root, they willingly ventured into the mundane world, becoming either princes or wealthy merchants, spreading the Chen Clan's bloodline ever more widely.

Master De Ming beside him shook his head with a smile, eyes full of envy:

"Dao brother, you speak too modestly. Xihua and his brothers, young as they are, already practice dual cultivation of body and spirit. Such talent is rare even among Inner Sect Disciples."

"Truly, heaven favors you, Dao brother, not only with exceptional Alchemy Talent but also with such outstanding children."

Typically, the fertility of High Tier Cultivators gradually diminishes!

But Chen Sheng, with his unique physique, not only could bear children but also produced numerous talents, creating a remarkable family in just a few decades, envied by many.

Master De Ming came from a Golden Core Clan with a two-thousand-year heritage, with countless branches, yet only one outstanding youth from their clan's younger generation managed to enter the Inner Sect of the Daoist Sect.

Compared to the increasingly prosperous Chen Clan in recent years, they were much inferior, evoking a great sense of envy.
