Chapter 898 - 904: Understanding
A Spirit Testing Conference had greatly broadened Li Zhirui’s horizons, especially when Tianhua Mountain had declined to accept a child with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, leaving him profoundly shaken.
The specific reasons were unknown to Li Zhirui. He only knew that the child had failed one of the tests and subsequently, Tianhua Mountain had refused the child without hesitation, who was later accepted by a newly advanced Divine Transformation Sect.
From what Li Zhirui understood about the Central Region, in the grand scheme of things, Tianhua Mountain was not a significant player.
Yet, it was such a force that had rejected a child with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, one who was destined to achieve Nascent Soul.
This made Li Zhirui think of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. Although they had many disciples, their recruitment standards were definitely higher than those of Tianhua Mountain.
This was also a reflection of how many outstanding seeds for cultivation there were in the Central Region!
As for Li Zhixuan, who had joined the Ten Thousand Swords Sect halfway through, it was because the Killing Sword Meridian was extraordinary. Cultivators who practiced the Sword Tao of Slaughter and maintained an unaffected Dao Heart were exceedingly rare.
Even so, Li Zhixuan’s formal entry into the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had involved rigorous assessments and trials.
Initially, Li Zhirui had thought that in the Eastern Region, on Wanxian Island, the Li family could develop very well, but now it seemed he had oversimplified things.
In the Eastern Region, no matter how the Li family developed, they couldn’t surpass the major forces of the Central Region.
