A title appeared in the sky above Bai Nianchen.
"Innate Dao Body!"
"Heavenly Talent!"
Another Heavenly Talent had appeared, and it was an old man over eighty years old. This was truly difficult to accept.
This was also the first Heavenly Talent to appear today.
Furthermore, as the Dao Master of the White Stone Grotto-Heaven, Bai Nianchen had been cultivating techniques since he was young.
The cultivation method he practiced was called the Natural Wu Wei Method, passed down to him by his master.
He had been cultivating according to this method for decades, day after day, year after year, without interruption.
It wasn't until he touched the [Talent Appraisal Stone] that he realized he possessed the Innate Dao Body.
The Innate Dao Fetus was considered one of the strongest physiques in the world. It was naturally close to the Dao, and those who were near it could feel the Dao rhythm. Cultivation would encounter almost no bottlenecks. Those with the Innate Dao Body, if they did not perish prematurely, would definitely reach the Mahayana realm in the future.
Such a powerful physique should have been considered a Heaven-Defying Talent, just like Li Qingyun. However, Bai Nianchen was too old, and he started cultivating too late. His once wide meridians had now atrophied to a significant and irreversible degree.
Following this, the purple qi in the sky entered Bai Nianchen's body. A vast amount of spiritual energy emanated from him, and he directly broke through to the early Foundation Establishment stage.
This was the accumulation of eighty years of mental cultivation, a perfect example of achieving enlightenment in one go.
The entire venue erupted in an uproar.
"What's going on? Did he just break through?"
"Damn! He hasn't even picked up a technique from the technique pavilion yet, has he? Where did he get his technique from?"
"Could their techniques be real?"
"......"
At this moment, the Taoist Association of the Xia Kingdom was also watching Luo Xiaowei's live stream.
With the emergence of true immortal cultivation recently, their position had become the most awkward. Previously, they could obtain a lot of funding in the name of cultural dissemination, and they could also use the guise of exorcism to deceive people everywhere.
Although it was fake from the beginning, no one had any proof.
Later, when true immortal cultivation emerged, they were almost torn apart by criticism!
Therefore, while they yearned for the techniques from Chu Yang, they dared not shamelessly ask for them.
When Bai Nianchen, the "orthodox" Daoist, shone brightly, their eyes suddenly lit up.
"Quick! Post on Weibo! Congratulate him! Who says we are not orthodox cultivators? Our techniques are also real!"
"But who is he? We don't recognize this old man!"
"He's wearing a Daoist robe, so he's the orthodox Daoist! Let's not overthink it, let's ride this wave of popularity first, otherwise our Longhu Mountain will be shut down!"
"......"
Luo Xiaowei bowed his head in shame and presented Bai Nianchen with a high-grade spirit stone.
"According to Immortal Brother's rules, everyone who achieves Heavenly Talent will receive a high-grade spirit stone. I was influenced by the inherent impression of a Daoist just now, which caused you an unpleasant experience. Please forgive me."
Bai Nianchen revealed a benevolent smile, accepted the spirit stone from Luo Xiaowei, and said, "Wuliang Tianzun, this poor Daoist does not mind. Since it is the rule, this spirit stone, this poor Daoist will gladly accept."
"Oh right, grandpa, Immortal Brother also said that those who achieve Heavenly Talent can join a group. If there are any opportunities, Immortal Brother will prioritize those in the group."
However, Bai Nianchen was confused.
He said somewhat embarrassedly, "This poor Daoist does not know how to use a mobile phone, and I don't understand this group you are talking about..."
Luo Xiaowei was stunned for a moment. He hadn't expected that there would be people who didn't use mobile phones!
But he quickly decided, "Grandpa, did you bring your ID card?"
"Of course I did."
"Then it's easy. You go in and choose your technique first! After you come out, I'll have someone help you apply for a phone card and buy a mobile phone!"
"This... isn't this too much trouble?"
"Ah! No trouble, no trouble! You go choose your technique first, I have to entertain the next batch!"
After sending Bai Nianchen in, Luo Xiaowei immediately sent a message in the group.
Sword Cultivator Ancestor - Luo Xiaowei: "Holy cow! Brothers, another Heavenly Talent has appeared! Innate Dao Body, and he's an old man!"
"The most awesome thing is that he hadn't even chosen a technique yet, touched the appraisal stone, and directly entered Foundation Establishment!"
Rich Woman Who Likes Playing with Fire - Xue Qianwei: "[Shocked]!"
Body Cultivator Brother with Emperor's Talent - Wang Teng: "Holy cow, just came out and he's already in Foundation Establishment, is he cheating?"
The Sun That Suppresses a Generation - Meng Zibin: "What kind of physique is the Innate Dao Body?"
Immortal Brother Who Teaches Cultivation - Chu Yang: "The Innate Dao Body is a highly talented Dao-comprehending physique, considered one of the most powerful special physiques. It is naturally close to the Dao, easily entering a state of enlightenment, and will not encounter any bottlenecks when advancing to Mahayana. Due to his advanced age, his physique was activated too late, so it has defects. If he can consume some immortal herbs and pills in the future, he might have a chance to recover."
Body Cultivator Brother with Emperor's Talent - Wang Teng: "This physique, if not nerfed, is it playable?"
Meng Zibin fell into thought after seeing Chu Yang's explanation.
"A physique naturally close to the Dao, truly heaven-defying. However, since he's an old man, his upper limit should not be as high as mine..."
It was difficult for people with Heavenly Talent to appear. After these few of them, only Bai Nianchen was added.
Chu Yang also didn't expect such a peculiar genius to appear, but his age seemed like a waste of such a good physique.
He thought for a moment and edited a message in the group.
"The trial event will start next week. Everyone, cultivate quickly. Everyone must participate. There will be life risks at that time, so make all necessary preparations! The top ten will receive rewards. Everyone is a celestial being, don't be unable to make it into the top ten."
Rich Woman Who Likes Playing with Fire - Xue Qianwei: "Brothers! The promotional video is being made! You must cultivate hard, there are monsters comparable to the Nascent Soul stage inside!"
Everyone in the group's eyes lit up.
Trial? Ranking? Rewards?
These three words held a fatal attraction for them.
A person lives for a breath; life is meaningless without struggle.
Although the phenomena triggered when appraising their talents had made them the center of attention, they needed a stage to prove themselves and show how they were stronger than those with poorer talents.
And the ranking could satisfy their competitive spirit, and the rewards could help them widen the gap.
Even though there were life risks, they were not afraid at all.
And those with ordinary talents were even more excited. Achieving good results in the trial would allow them to step on these geniuses to rise.
Luo Xiaowei was one of them.
As more and more geniuses joined the group, in terms of talent, he was bound to be at the bottom.
However, he was unwilling to remain at the bottom of the group's hierarchy for his entire life.
"The opportunity to overtake on the curve has arrived!"
