Chapter 703: Li Qingwei!
Su Yi was unaware of the significance of the Quasi Heavenly Grade soul, but judging from the expressions on everyone’s faces, it was clear that this soul level was extraordinarily powerful, likely reaching a terrifying height.
“The Tianxuan Sect has showcased many outstanding talents this time. It won’t be long before a mighty Soul Tamer, destined to dominate the world, emerges from the Tianxuan Sect. Congratulations!” Elder Suyun said to Jian Wannian, her face adorned with a smile.
“Haha, I truly appreciate Elder Suyun’s kind words,” Jian Wannian replied without hesitation. A Quasi Heavenly Grade soul was an incredibly rare gift! To possess a soul of this caliber meant one was bound for greatness as a Soul Tamer.
“Congratulations, indeed,” Bai Mingshan muttered, a hint of dissatisfaction flickering in his heart, but he was forced to smile and offer his congratulations nonetheless.
“You’re most welcome,” Jian Wannian said, his heart filled with cheer.
At the testing platform, Gong Qianxing started carving the emblem, and the onlookers couldn’t help but marvel, envious of his skill.
“Let’s proceed!” Deputy Palace Master Yun Ding and Deputy Palace Master Yan Lu, who had been forced to pause the test, resumed their duties, both visibly astonished.
Soon, Gong Qianxing finished engraving the emblem and bowed to Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan before stepping away.
Gong Qianxing stood tall, his expression calm, almost unperturbed. His gaze was deep, as though he were unaffected by anything around him.
Su Yi studied the emblem Gong Qianxing wore, noticing the golden radiance it emitted. Inside, a triangular shape was formed with six brilliant lightning bolts, and a faint seventh bolt seemed to be emerging. It closely resembled the emblem on Xi Wuqing’s shoulder.
“Next,” Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan called out, still slightly surprised by the discovery of a Soul Tamer with a Quasi Heavenly Grade soul. Such individuals were exceedingly rare.
“Li Qingwei, a disciple of the Qingyun Sect, meets Palace Master Guan Lan. I am nineteen years old this year. Thank you for your kind attention, Palace Master.”
Her voice, soft as a melody, echoed like a celestial tune. The graceful lady, dressed in an elegant gown, stepped forward, her movements delicate and poised. Her eyes, clear and bright, sparkled like stars.
“Li Qingwei… such a pleasant name…” Su Yi noted silently. Just moments ago, under the immense soul pressure exerted by Gong Qianxing, he had sensed a peculiar reaction from the woman standing before him. He couldn’t shake the feeling that she might also be an extraordinarily powerful figure.
Bai Mingshan, Jian Wannian, and the others turned their attention toward the scene. This time, Qingyun Sect had only submitted one Soul Tamer for testing, arousing their curiosity.
“Relax, everything will be fine,” Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan reassured, her gaze kind and gentle, trying to alleviate any pressure Li Qingwei might feel after witnessing Gong Qianxing’s powerful display.
“I understand,” Li Qingwei replied, her eyes calm and serene.
“Very well, let’s begin,” Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan said, though secretly impressed by the composure of the girl before her. She began forming hand seals to initiate the examination.
The process was unlike anything before, as the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone began to stir. It radiated a blinding light, cocooning Li Qingwei within its glow.
Under this light, Li Qingwei immediately closed her eyes.
As her eyes shut, a wave of soul energy slowly poured out from her brow, shimmering with a faint glow.
As the soul energy flowed, the light of the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone exploded outward, and a roar, like the cry of a beast, rang out across the room.
“Roarrrr…”
The beast’s roar reverberated like thunder, causing everyone in the hall to shift their focus, the commotion impossible to ignore.
“Boom…”
Almost instantly, the hall shook, and the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone trembled. Outside, the sky darkened, but the stone itself remained glowing brightly, as though a second sun had risen.
“Boom, boom…”
In the distance, faint rumblings of thunder echoed through the air.
Among the powerful figures present—Xi Wuqing, the Green Emperor, Bai Mingshan, Jian Wannian, and others—each felt a shift in the atmosphere.
They were the first to sense the stirring energy in the world around them. A subtle yet overwhelming soul pressure began to radiate from the young, graceful figure in front of them.
“Boom…”
At the heart of Yutian Palace, darkness descended once more. Thick clouds gathered, lightning crackled, and the storm spread throughout the city.
“What’s going on?” Numerous gazes turned upward, and someone exclaimed in surprise.
“Did you hear that sound from Yutian Palace?”
It was the second time such a disturbance had occurred, and many noticed the strange aura emanating from the direction of Yutian Palace.
“What’s happening inside?” Those waiting outside could feel the commotion reverberating from within.
The examination by Deputy Palace Masters Yun Ding and Yan Lu was once again interrupted. Their faces reflected a mixture of shock and awe, their eyes burning with excitement and anticipation.
The two Deputy Palace Masters nervously clenched their fists. Could this be the revelation of another extraordinary Soul Tamer?
On the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone, a blinding light surged forth, displaying the same intense readings as had appeared when Gong Qianxing was tested.
“It’s also a Quasi Heavenly Grade soul!” Jian Wannian and Bai Mingshan gasped, astonished. This disciple from the Qingyun Sect possessed a Quasi Heavenly Grade soul, just like them.
Elder Suyun’s gaze grew tense. For a Soul Tamer, the quality of their soul was of paramount importance, just as a warrior’s natural talent was crucial. Its importance could not be overstated.
The stronger the soul, the greater the potential for a Soul Tamer.
If Li Qingwei possessed the necessary soul quality, with time and proper cultivation under Qingyun Sect’s guidance, she could rise to become a powerful and renowned figure, pushing the sect forward.
In this world, power is respected, and the same holds true for major sects.
For a Soul Tamer, possessing formidable strength is essential. A strong Soul Tamer can elevate the standing of a sect like Qingyun Sect.
Ultimately, in the great competition among the powers, the primary factor that determines success is the number of powerful Soul Tamers a sect possesses.
“Wow, it seems like it hasn’t stopped yet. Could it be…?” Bai Mingshan exclaimed in astonishment as the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone continued to radiate light.
Upon hearing this, Jian Wannian and others felt a chill run down their spines.
Gong Qianxing, who had always maintained a calm demeanor, now appeared unsettled. He watched the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone with an expression of disbelief. His eyes revealed a deep astonishment.
“Could a Heavenly Grade soul truly appear?”
Deputy Palace Masters Guan Lan, Yan Lu, and Yun Ding all fixed their gazes on the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone, which was now glowing with intense light and energy. Their hearts raced in anticipation.
Under the eyes of many, Li Qingwei’s brow twitched ever so slightly. An unseen, colorless soul began to materialize, becoming transparent with flickers of light that shot toward the Soul Measuring Yuan Stone, gathering around it.
