Mount Wanshan.

The disciples' study hall.

A white-haired elder spoke eloquently.

As is widely known in the cultivation world, individuals with special aptitude are each a child of heaven. They are the favored ones by the heavens, not only possessing rapid cultivation speeds and astonishing comprehension, but also seeing any technique's power increase threefold or more under their control.

Besides, these special individuals all possess unique talents, which are also their powerful assets.

Throughout history, the powerful essences born have been roughly divided into three ranks: Treasure, King, and God. However, those recorded in history are the ten supreme Gods, the strongest of all.

Yesterday, we talked about the gods ranked seventh and below. Today, we'll be focusing on the top three gods.

The third in the world, Asura.

"The second best in the world, a holy warrior."

"The number one sword in the world, the Chaos Sword."

"Oh, by the way, there's also a legendary quality called 'Daozai'."

"Elder."

At this time, a disciple asked: "Since the Chaos Sword is the number one sword in the world, why has another legendary-quality Daoist weapon appeared? Since this Daoist weapon is said to be legendary level, shouldn't it be the number one?"

The elder chuckled softly: "The Great Dao, while seen throughout history, is also simultaneously the most renowned failure."

A group of new recruits, gaping in disbelief, couldn't fathom what this meant.

They're all legendary level, yet they're trash?

The elder said, “Throughout history, there have been evaluations of the Grand Dao. Eight characters, 'Grand Dao carries, all laws are unharmed!!'

"My God, invincible laws, this powerful?"

"So, he's immune to any law?"

We were all astonished, this quality is truly domineering, their eyes full of longing.

The elder stroked his beard with a knowing smile. "All methods have their pros and cons. This kind of ability can nullify any magic, but conversely, magic cannot be stored within such a person. In short, those who carry the Way cannot cultivate because they cannot store magic."

"Hahaha!"

Hearing this, the students in the school burst into laughter.

"This legendary quality, isn't that a joke?"

"It's truly ironic, having the rarest talent yet being unable to cultivate. It's simply baffling."

"Haha, yeah, whoever gets this kind of quality would be clueless whether to cry or laugh."

At this time, the elder glanced out the window, his expression complex. He said, “You newly arrived disciples don’t know, but in fact, Mount Wanjian has someone just like this.”

"What! The Great Dao resides in our Mount Wanjian?"

"Really? Who is it, Elder?"

This elder walked past the window and looked at a tall tree in the distance. On the tree, a handsome young man in white robes was lazily napping on a branch.

"He Ji Fan, a natural Dao bearer, although unable to cultivate, is the auspiciousness of the entire cultivation world. People flock from all over just to see the legendary Dao bearer. Even though he's utterly useless, in these past few years, his presence has brought Wan Jian Shan some fame."

Upon hearing this.

Those years all came out with a sneer of derision.

"A lucky charm of the cultivation world? That sounds nice, but he's just a clown for people to watch."

"No, no, I wouldn't want such an honor, it's too embarrassing."

"In the cultivation world, strength is paramount. Without cultivation, even the most precious resources are a joke."

The elder also smiled sarcastically, then cleared his throat and said, "Alright, let's not waste time on this. Let's talk about the top three gods first. We'll start with Asura."

"Shura, who proves the way through slaughter, looks down upon the world..."

……

On a towering tree outside the school.

Ji Fan, in a white robe, slowly opened his eyes.

"Indeed, in this world where power is paramount, what use are rare treasures if one cannot cultivate?" Ji Fan chuckled self-deprecatingly.

In fact, he could hear everything that was said in the academy's lecture hall.

The Great Dao carries itself, although it cannot be cultivated, it is born with six ears and six senses.

The "six ears" referred to here aren't actually six literal ears, but rather six types of supernatural abilities, such as Heaven's Eye and Heaven's Ear, similar to千里眼 (thousand-mile eye) and顺风耳 (wind-following ear).

Such ability, placed on any cultivator, could be fully utilized, but it is useless for Ji Fan.

Besides listening to some gossip and looking at some beautiful disciples, there's nothing else.

This is the moment.

Ji Fan looked up at the sky, silently with tears in his eyes.

"Father and mother, you guys...are too good at giving birth! And I'm to blame as well, too good at being reborn. It took so much effort to be like the protagonist in a story and experience rebirth once, but I ended up here..."

Fifteen years ago, Ji Fan was reborn from the blue star to this world of immortal magic for the sake of the son of Wanshan Mountain God.

The Divine Child, a future inheritor of the Tao, is the highest authority and successor to the Taoist lineage.

When Ji Fan was still a baby, his father, Ji Jianyun, took his place in the sect's battles. Half a year later, Ji Jianyun was sent back, but only half of him remained.

Ji Jianyun died in battle.

While Ji Fan's mother also disappeared.

The sect originally placed their hopes on Ji Fan. Ji Fan inherited Ji Jianyun's Tai Chu Sword, which was the tenth ranked divine weapon among the Ten Great Gods.

But after awakening, Ji Fan was indeed a special individual, and a legendary one throughout history. The great Dao carried him.

It's a heartbreaking matter for the elders of Mount Wanjian, isn't it? A great Dao carrier who cannot cultivate. No matter how precious or legendary it is, what use is it?

This won't bring any real benefit to the sect.

very quickly.

News that Wan Jian Shan had achieved the Dao spread throughout the cultivation world. People from all walks of life flocked to see this rare talent, even including the young masters and goddesses of renowned sects who wanted to witness it for themselves.

Ji Fan is so devoted to the cultivation world's prosperity.

Whoosh!

Suddenly.

A sword pierces through the air.

A young man in his early twenties, sword in hand, came before Ji Fan.

He was dressed in the robes of a true disciple, standing tall and looking down upon everyone, with his hands clasped behind his back.

"Hmph, Ji Fan, you are truly idle," said the true disciple, his gaze upon Ji Fan filled with coldness.

How can the Great Dao be embodied?

How is the auspiciousness of the cultivation world doing?

If you lack ability, no one will look up to you. That's the reality.

"The true transmission of the headmaster's lineage? What do you want from me?" Ji Fan unwillingly opened his eyes and asked.

“The Elder summons you. Come with me.” said the true disciple.

Then, with a raise of her hand, she grabbed Ji Fan and brought him onto the sword, transforming into a streak of light and leaving.

This is the difference in strength. Without cultivation, even if you have legendary-grade quality, any random cultivator can treat you like Na Zi.

Riding the wind, the mountains and rivers are all beneath one's feet.

Ji Fan stood on the sword, watching the scenery below rapidly recede. He couldn't help but feel a pang of envy.

This is the dream of every man, sword roaming freely between heaven and earth.

"Heh heh, envy is useless. A person like you will never experience this feeling in your entire life." The true disciple saw the envy in Ji Fan's eyes and couldn't help but sneer.

The Peak of the Sovereign or Wan Jian Peak.

This mountain peak is full of all sorts of immortal swords.

It is said that every disciple, after entering the sect, has the opportunity to find their destined sword here.

These swords come from various sources, some crafted by the Refining Hall itself and others collected from elsewhere. They are a dazzling array, with every style imaginable.

The cultivation methods of Mount Wanjian emphasize the sword way, which serves as the main theme of this sect.

Ji Fan was left by the true disciple in front of the main hall and then left.

Ji Fan took a deep breath, picked up a metal pendant from the table and sighed: "What had to come finally came. I knew it all along; these old fellows wouldn't let this go."

(A new book has set sail, I hope everyone will support it, and I'm looking for all kinds of data.)
