Chapter 1478: Success
The reason Jing Yan chose to allow Gou Zhun to try the elixir was due to several considerations.
Firstly, Jing Yan had a very good impression of Gou Zhun. Back in Star Tower City, Gou Zhun and Ning Luo were the first to connect with Jing Yan. So, if a Martial Artist were to be selected from All Paths Spirit Mountain for the trial, Jing Yan would surely prioritize Gou Zhun or Ning Luo.
Aside from this impression, Gou Zhun’s Sharp Gold Domain had already reached the Third Realm and was very close to the Ultimate Domain. Even without the Sharp Gold Cloud Crane Pill, with Gou Zhun’s understanding, he has a great chance of mastering the Ultimate Sharp Gold Domain in the future. Of course, the amount of time required for this is uncertain; it could be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years.
The reason Jing Yan didn’t let disciples who have mastered the First Realm Sharp Gold Domain try the elixir was that he wanted to take a gamble on luck.
Just now, he told the people present that Martial Artists who have mastered the First or Second Realm Sharp Gold Domain can definitely enhance their Sharp Gold Domain by one realm after using the Sharp Gold Cloud Crane Pill. But Martial Artists who have mastered the Third Realm Sharp Gold Domain only have a certain chance of transforming their domain after taking the elixir.
In other words, even if Gou Zhun uses the Sharp Gold Cloud Crane Pill, he may not be able to transform his Sharp Gold Domain into the Ultimate Domain. However, Jing Yan wants to take a chance; what if it succeeds?
If it truly succeeds, the impact would be tremendous. It can be imagined that all Martial Artists present will surely be shaken, and this news will spread throughout the All Paths World. By then, it will be easier for All Paths Sacred Land to attract strong practitioners.
On the other hand, if Gou Zhun fails to transform his Sharp Gold Domain to the Ultimate Domain using the Sharp Gold Cloud Crane Pill, it wouldn’t be a big deal. Jing Yan can completely conduct a second trial, having a disciple who has mastered the First or Second Realm Sharp Gold Domain try the elixir. It would merely be a waste of one Sharp Gold Cloud Crane Pill.
These thoughts flashed through Jing Yan’s mind in just the blink of an eye.
"Fellow Daoists, there’s no need to be anxious. We just need to patiently wait for some time, and I think it won’t take long," Jing Yan said warmly, looking around the venue.
"Saint Master Jing Yan is too courteous. We don’t mind waiting for this amount of time."
"Precisely, for us, thousands of years, even tens of thousands of years are nothing."
