I Can Fix My Talent in Hundred Lives-Chapter 413 - 340: Doubts

Yunlu Daoist Palace, Megrez Star, beside the most prosperous "Qiming Market" on the star map, stands a palace entirely built from "Ink Jade Marrow."

This is the "Dao Discussion Palace," where Named Disciples often gather.

Though no incense is burned within the hall, a fresh spiritual qi originating from the core of Megrez Star permeates the air.

Hundreds of pearwood tables are arranged along the aisle on either side of the hall, with star-patterned jade scrolls for enlightenment and jade furnaces for warming tea set upon them.

Wisps of tea smoke intertwine with the flowing brilliance in the air, outlining a leisurely atmosphere of cultivation.

At this moment, however, the Dao Discussion Palace is far from tranquil. Nearly a hundred cultivators are gathered, sitting or standing, their low voices rising and falling in conversation.

Beside a wooden table near the hall entrance, a cultivator dressed in a silver-gray Daoist robe had just picked up a tea cup, then lowered his voice to share some news, his tone full of unconcealed surprise:

"Fellow Daoists, I just heard from a senior brother at the Law Enforcement Hall that the Master has accepted another Inner Sect disciple at the Divinity Transformation Realm!"

As soon as the words fell, the surrounding gazes instantly gathered over.

The green-robed cultivator sitting opposite put down the jade scroll in his hand and raised his eyebrows slightly:

"Oh? Directly recruited from outside and not promoted from among the Named Disciples?"

There was a hint of inquiry in his tone—Yunlu Daoist Palace’s Inner Sect disciples have always been known for their "excellence."

The quota of 177 has not changed for thousands of years, adding a new person is definitely a big event that shakes the whole palace.

"Absolutely true!"

The silver-gray robed cultivator nodded emphatically, continuing:

"It is said that this fellow Daoist was personally brought back to the Dao Palace by the Master after the state competition, directly bestowed with the Inner Sect Jade Token!"

"Then it must be someone on the path of finality?"

A light laugh came from a corner of the hall, the speaker being a beardless cultivator, playing with a star core bracelet in his hand, his tone certain:

"The Master’s path is so unique, for him to make an exception to accept someone directly into the Inner Sect, they must be of the same Dao Principle."

The silver-gray robed cultivator clapped and laughed:

"Haha, you truly have keen insight!"

"Exactly so! It is said that this fellow cultivates the path of finality, which is of the same source as the Master’s, no wonder he is favored."

Their conversation made the discussions in the hall grow even louder, with numerous cultivators joining in.

The Inner Sect disciples of the Dao Palace have always been divided into two types.

One type is promoted from Named Disciples after a grueling selection, requiring them to reach a certain number of Star Tower layers within a certain age limit.

If they cannot meet the requirements, even if they reach the Void Refining Realm, they remain Named Disciples.

The other type, like Chen Sheng, is directly enlisted due to Dao Principle compatibility, hoped by Dharma Master Hong Jue to inherit the foundational grand laws and traditions.

Upon hearing the background of the new Inner Sect disciple, many Named Disciples in the hall had subtle expressions.

A purple-robed cultivator sitting in the front row snorted lightly, his tone somewhat disdainful:

"They say they hold hope, but in terms of real combat power, they won’t compare to those of us who battled our way out as Named Disciples."

"After all, we progressed through the Star Tower step by step, while they took a shortcut through Dao Principle compatibility, ultimately lacking some substance."

His words were echoed by many Named Disciples, after all, those who could enter Yunlu Daoist Palace as Named Disciples were all geniuses, and none would accept being second to others.

At this moment, an older Named Disciple came downstairs. He knocked on the table, his voice clear:

"Alright, when has the Master’s judgment ever been wrong? Listen to what I have to say about this person’s background and strength, then discuss further."

"First of all, this Inner Sect disciple cultivates the Yin Yang Annihilation Great Dao, and recently ranked 297th in the state competition."

As soon as he finished speaking, many of the previously proud Named Disciples fell silent instantly, as many of them did not even have the chance to participate in the state competition.

A cultivator familiar with the state competition raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise in his eyes:

"Top three hundred in the state competition? That’s not weak."

He paused, explaining to the crowd:

"This time in the Yun State competition, our Dao Palace only had 87 people qualify for the stage competition. Among them, 13 were Inner Sect disciples, and the remaining 74 were Named Disciples."

"What was the final outcome? Naturally, the Inner Sect disciples need no mentioning, all 13 broke into the top hundred, with the worst ranked 63rd, and Senior Sister Qing Lan ranking seventh."

"Among the Named Disciples, only two broke into the top hundred, both ranked above 90."

"Counting the Named Disciples who made it into the top three hundred, there are only about twenty or so. This kind of achievement, among the younger Divinity Transformation Named Disciples, is definitely first-class!"

His words brought complete silence to the hall, and the previously skeptical purple-robed cultivator was left speechless.

He was older and didn’t have the luck to participate in this Three Extremes Dao Assembly, but there were many younger Divinity Transformation cultivators around him who did, and he didn’t dare offend them widely.

Just then, another well-informed cultivator added:

"I also heard that this prince’s lineage has always been a mystery; he previously had no sect backing, seemingly from a loose cultivator background!"

A round-faced cultivator stood up in full amazement, raising his voice a few notches:

"A loose cultivator?"

"So he has never practiced the secret techniques passed down by a Dharma Master? He reached Divinity Transformation all by himself and made it into the top three hundred of the state competition?"

It’s known that the reason why the strength of Dao Palace disciples far surpasses that of outside cultivators is due to their access to Dharma Master level secret techniques.

If he comes from a loose cultivator background and achieved such feats, his talent and perseverance must be remarkable.

"Exactly!"

The well-informed cultivator nodded emphatically, his tone full of admiration.

Just moments ago, the Named Disciples who were silent found themselves without even the mind for discussion.

Without the support of a sect’s resources, without the support of top-secret techniques, to achieve such results from a loose cultivator identity.

Such strength, even without the bonus of Dao Principle compatibility, is enough to deserve the identity of an Inner Sect disciple.

While everyone harbored their thoughts, a solemn voice came from outside the hall:

"Moreover, the most crucial thing is, he is not even a thousand years old."

Following the voice, the crowd saw a cultivator in a gold-patterned Daoist robe walking step by step, surrounded by a Void Refining Great Power’s unique Dao Domain pressure, it was Elder Mo Yuan, responsible for the assessment of Named Disciples.

"Not even a thousand years old and ranked in the top three hundred of the state competition?"

The round-faced cultivator murmured, eyes full of shock.

It’s known that among Yunlu Daoist Palace’s Named Disciples, those who can reach Divinity Transformation before the age of a thousand are rare, let alone achieving such a record.

Elder Mo Yuan glanced over the crowd inside the hall, speaking indifferently:

"Our Palace Master’s discipleships have always relied solely on talent and Dao Heart. Prince Life-Annihilating with Dao Principle compatibility, outstanding talent, and perseverance far beyond ordinary people—does he not deserve to be an Inner Sect disciple?"

His words left everyone speechless, previous doubts and dissatisfaction long vanished.

Elder Mo Yuan said no more, turning to leave.

The Named Disciples in the hall looked at one another, and moments later, they dispersed, each with an additional thought in mind.

This newly admitted prince into the Inner Sect is surely not an ordinary person!
