Chapter 743: Ascend
The Humanity Sanctum.
Yuan Guang was the first to receive information from Liang Qiu.
He glanced at the number, his expression reflecting both regret and relief. "The sixty-sixth step?"
The regret stemmed from the fact that Li Pin's performance had barely exceeded their expectations. He wasn't the kind of prodigy capable of stunning the world.
The relief, however, came from the same reason—he could still be considered a human prodigy. He had earned the qualification to become a Sacred Monarch's disciple.
In fact, if some of the Heavenly Emperors were in a good mood and took a liking to him, they could very well accept him into their ranks.
But... it still fell short of their initial expectations for a bargain.
Then again, how easy could it be to snatch a deal from a Highlord? Who could honestly think their judgment could surpass that of a Highlord? Especially one like Black Abyss, who was said to also be cultivating the Transcendent path.
Shaking his head, Yuan Guang turned his attention to another application. "Primordial Disk."
This level of talent... granted this kind of Top-Tier Cosmic Radiance Divine Weapon...
Even accounting for Li Pin's merits, this still barely skirts the edge of acceptability. This was also the reason why Vice Hall Master Zhen Ming had strongly opposed it.
"Sigh, if only Li Pin could break through to the sixty-ninth step of the Supreme Ladder... Zhen Ming, Wan Gujie, and Shi Xing would definitely have no objections. But now... it seems there will be plenty of disputes."
