It seemed that he had underestimated Wang Yun.

He originally thought that Wang Yun would be a second realm cultivator at most, but he never expected Wang Yun to be close to the fourth realm.

Just as Yu Chen was feeling conflicted, the Sect Master spoke.

Feng Changchun said to Yu Chen, “My Hunyuan Sect has the Chaos Tower. Time flows ten times faster inside the tower.”

“If you choose to compete after a hundred years, you can enter the tower to cultivate. Only ten years will pass in the real world after a hundred years inside.”

Seeing Yu Chen’s expression, Feng Changchun knew what he was worried about.

Cultivators who had just started cultivating usually had some unfinished business in the mortal world.

A hundred years of secluded cultivation might not be much for a cultivator’s lifespan.

But for those cultivators whose relatives did not cultivate, it was a lifetime.

Yu Chen’s eyes lit up when he heard that, but then he felt that it was a pity.

His avatar could not cultivate. Otherwise, Yu Chen would definitely enter the Chaos Tower to cultivate.

Thinking that Wang Yun actually had a third realm level ten cultivation, Yu Chen immediately decided that he needed to get stronger to ensure his victory.

Just as he was about to choose to postpone the Immortal selection, Yu Chen suddenly thought of something.

Wait…

The avatar only had a tenth of the original’s strength.

‘A tenth?’

Yu Chen suddenly remembered that his ‘External Avatar’ talent was only a top-grade talent, not a divine-grade talent.

‘Then…’

‘Although I can’t defeat him with 10% of my strength, I should be able to defeat him with my true strength, right?’

Despite only having a second realm level ten cultivation, Yu Chen still had many powerful talents.

Since Wang Yun dared to plot against Yu Chen, he had to pay the price.

His opponent was still at large. Could Yu Chen let him off?

He couldn’t.

After all, Yu Chen had awakened a cheat ability.

Therefore, Yu Chen’s gaze gradually became firm. He immediately said to the Sect Master, “No, I choose to start the Immortal selection directly.”

Facing the surprised gazes of the surrounding elders, Yu Chen’s expression did not change.

In the next second, Yu Chen controlled his main body in the prison and upgraded his ‘External Avatar’ talent.

[External Avatar – Divine-grade: Can produce a clone with 100% of the original’s strength.]

After lighting his talent, Yu Chen sensed that his clone’s strength had increased exponentially.

Suddenly, the entire world changed color.

A ball of chaotic spiritual energy suddenly appeared in the sky above the continent.

A terrifying pressure came from inside the ball, radiating out to all living beings on the continent.

Yu Chen could clearly sense that this was actually a phenomenon caused by his awakening of a divine-level talent.

Not long after, the chaos ball dissipated, once more leaving a psychological shadow on the living beings of the continent.

Many elders also saw this wonder and started discussing.

“This… is actually a divine-grade ‘External Avatar’?”

“Although I’ve never seen it before, are the stories told in myths and legends actually true?”

“…”

Hearing the elders’ discussion, Yu Chen’s heart skipped a beat.

Good lord, could it be that when he had awakened his other talents, there were also such eye-catching phenomena?

If so, wouldn’t everyone have known that someone in the prison had awakened a top-grade and divine-grade talent?

Thinking of this, sweat broke out on Yu Chen’s forehead.

A top-grade talent could attract the jealousy of mighty figures and cause death.

By having a divine-grade talent, wouldn’t it mean that the entire continent wanted to kill Yu Chen, the ‘chosen one’?

Fortunately, Yu Chen had not been exposed yet…

Moreover, his avatar had a necklace to block the Talent Tree. As long as no one saw his Talent Tree, there wouldn’t be a problem.

Yu Chen suddenly thought of something.

Since awakening a divine-grade talent could cause such an eye-catching phenomenon, why didn’t Yu Chen consecutively light all the talent he wanted?

After all, the shock brought by several divine-grade appearing together would be greater than if they appeared one-by-one. However, the matter would also be forgotten relatively quicker~

And so…

[ Absolute Genius – Divine-grade: Cultivation speed increased by 10,000 times.]

Yu Chen felt enlightened, and his understanding of cultivation deepened.

The phenomenon above the continent began to form.

A vast expanse of brilliant blue starlight shimmered over the continent.

Before long, the phenomenon dissipated again.

The living beings on the continent were already numb to this.

In the past few days, top-grade and divine-grade talents had descended on the continent like cabbages.

Yu Chen coughed dryly and also revealed an extremely surprised expression.

In fact, Yu Chen was looking at the attributes of his talent tree.

[ Absolute Genius – Divine-grade: Cultivation speed increased by 10,000 times.]

Immunity – High-grade: Immune to 99.9% fire.

Strength God – Divine-grade: Strength increased by 1,000 times.

Psionic Perception – Low-grade: Sense everything within the range of spiritual power.

External Avatar – Divine-grade: Can produce a clone with 100% of the original’s strength.

Remaining Talent Points: 1]

Yu Chen did not intend to use the remaining talent point directly.

Currently, his main body was still studying the Talent Tree in the Heavenly Prison, so Yu Chen’s cultivation level would not increase for the time being.

He would use this talent point as a backup, just in case.



Someone in the Hunyuan Sect passed the first part of the Saint assessment. This news quickly spread throughout the entire Hunyuan Sect.

Everyone in the Hunyuan Sect received this news.

With the Immortal selection slated to begin soon, this matter was indeed a little sensitive.

Now, if the Hunyuan Sect disciple who passed the first part of the assessment passed the second part of the assessment within the limited time,

Then the number of Saints and Saintesses who could join the Immortal selection would increase from five to six.

At that time, the winning chance of each Saint and Saintess would decrease greatly.

At this moment, Yu Chen was undergoing the second assessment.

After the phenomenon of a divine-grade talent awakening, everyone calmed down.

Feng Changchun retracted his surprised gaze and said to Yu Chen, “There are two parts to the Saint assessment. The first is to pass the trial of the mystic realm, and the second is to complete a specific mission from the sect.”

“This mission will be personally chosen and issued by the Sect Master.”

“Considering your special situation, our sect will increase the difficulty of your assessment mission by a level. Are you fine with that?”

Although the Grand Elder had asked Feng Changchun to do everything he could to keep Yu Chen in the sect, this was still a rule that could not be easily changed.

Of course, if Yu Chen really didn’t accept the condition, he would think of other ways to keep him in the sect.

However, Yu Chen did not know about this. He only nodded firmly. “I accept.”

Feng Changchun revealed a gentle expression. “Very good. Your next mission is to clean up the demonic creatures on the east side of the Xuanming Mountain Range.”

As soon as he said this, the elders hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

“Sect Master, you can’t!”

“No, that demon is too powerful. Chen Yu can’t win against it.”

“Yes, there are even Fourth Realm demon beasts. If Chen Yu’s talent dies prematurely, it will be a huge loss for our Hunyuan Sect.”

Feng Changchun shook his head slowly. “I think you’ve misunderstood. Chen Yu’s mission is to clear ten demonic creatures of the second realm and one demonic creature of the third realm.”

“These demonic creatures can be found at the periphery. There’s no need to go deep into the blood pool.”

Hearing this, everyone was relieved.

Immediately, many elders came forward to remind Yu Chen.

They had explained the characteristics and weaknesses of the demonic creatures clearly.

Some even gave their treasures to Yu Chen.

How could Yu Chen not understand that they wanted to build a good relationship with him in advance?

After all, Yu Chen’s performance was too outstanding. If nothing went wrong, who knew what could happen in the future…

This was not the unity and friendliness of the sect, but the way of the world.
