Elder Kong Yu snorted at her words, "Are Epic Ranked Spirit holders considered lucky? From where I'm standing, they are opposite. If anyone can achieve success in this world with just talent, then there is no need to train. The higher the grade of your spirit, the stronger the heavenly tribulation you will face as you break through every major bottleneck.
If you cannot shoulder that weight, you will suffer defeat, no matter what method you use or what resources you have. Therefore, having an Epic Rank Spirit or higher is a double-edged sword.
Even though they have more potential and are more powerful, only those with greater determination and resilience can rise to prominence with that kind of Spirit and become an Inner Elder or even a Core Elder in the top sects."
Both Matriarch Cai Xinyi and Elder Harrius nodded at his words, agreeing with his views.
Elder Harrius added, "Indeed, as someone who possesses Epic Rank Spirit myself, I can attest to the difficulty of cultivating it. In fact, to date, I have seen many geniuses in my lifetime with an Epic Rank Spirit, but most of them either ended up being killed or crippled due to the severe heavenly tribulations they faced.
Of course, there are those who have even higher ranked spirits and became powerful beyond belief, like the Grand Elders or Leaders of the dominating sects such as our Twilight Mist Sect or your Heaven's Glory Palace."
"Well, that is true, but these children are still young, so they have a lot of time ahead to mature and grow. Who knows, maybe this generation will have that one person who will stand out among others, breaking through the barriers of limitations and achieving something unimaginable even today.
Then their names will be carved in history, and they will be hailed as a legend." Matriarch Cai Xinyi interjected with a small chuckle, making both elders shake their heads.
"It would take a miracle if someone like that existed." Elder Harrius laughed at that comment before turning to look towards Asher, getting silent all of a sudden, and feeling a chill down his spine. 'Wait... Could Young Master Asher be that person? Why do I feel like he is just hiding his true power, and that he is only playing around for now? Damn it! Now I can't get rid of this thought.
At that exact moment, Zhang Meiling's spirit materialized. However, contrary to expectations, her Spirit wasn't that of a magnificent beast or a powerful weapon; instead, it was a sprite that was considered one of the rarest spiritual creatures in the world and one that most people would never expect to see.
Its body was slender and elegant, with a humanoid appearance. It was small, just barely taller than 20 centimeters, and had long silky hair, pointy ears, and a pair of crystal-blue wings on her back.
Furthermore, she wore a dress that resembled flowing water as it glittered with various shades of blue, giving her a magical aura.
Despite its tiny stature, she radiated an incredible amount of spiritual pressure as it swept across the area, like ripples in the ocean, gentle when calm but capable of sweeping away anything in its path once it raged out of control.
Everyone felt chills run down their spines as they sensed a looming pressure weighing down on them, making them realize the sheer power held within her tiny body.
At first, people were too stunned to speak or even move due to their shock.
But then, it didn't take long before someone shouted, "It is a Supreme Ranked Spirit!"
That exclamation triggered an uproar as everyone gasped in surprise while looking at the obelisk with six glowing, crimson-red stars.
"This is the first time I have ever witnessed a Supreme Ranked Spirit with my own eyes! It is truly magnificent. The young lady must be blessed by the heavens! I wish I could court her. But I am not talented enough for her to even spare me a glance, haha." A man wearing purple robes muttered aloud while rubbing his chin, lamenting the gap between her and him.
The person beside him agreed with his sentiment, "Haha, I feel you, brother, but that doesn't mean we cannot admire her beauty and grace, right?"
