As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

Even more noteworthy, Qianyuan Dao City’s biggest gambling house, Qiankun Gambling House, announced that it would open bets regarding the results of the Sect Master Great God’s Direct Disciple test.

Potential candidates’ names were publicly listed, inviting wagers.

“The list is out! Everyone can start placing bets!”

“The first genius is named Gongshu Wentian, aged ten, already a Martial Grandmaster, with Divine Foundation established, from the Gongshu Family, located in the Divine Capital. Rumor has it he has blood ties with the Chief Supervisor of Qintian Observatory, famous for his divine calculations!”

“The second genius is named Gu He, grandson of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect Master of Guangling Dao…”

“The third genius is named Xuan Yue, from Qingyun Dao’s Xuanfu Divine Sect…”

“The fourth genius is Lv Qingxuan, ranked first on Qianyuan Divine Sect’s Chu Long List, nine years old…”

“The fifth genius is named Ning Caihe, from Dragon Abyss Dao’s Seven Treasures Divine Sect…”

…

…

“The tenth genius, ranked third on Qianyuan Divine Sect’s Chu Long List, Li Nuanxi…”

…

Qiankun Gambling House released the full list.

Anyone who made the list, particularly into the top ten, was undoubtedly considered to have a shot at vying for the Direct Disciple position.

The release of the list created a sensation—no one had anticipated that this year’s Sect Master Great God’s Direct Disciple test would attract so many gifted and talented geniuses.

Of course, those from the Divine Capital needed no introduction. Remarkably, however, candidates from Guangling Dao’s Heavenly Pill Divine Sect, Qingyun Dao’s Xuanfu Divine Sect, and Dragon Abyss Dao’s Seven Treasures Divine Sect had also shown up.

The fact that all three Great Divine Sects sent their prodigious descendants demonstrated the irresistible allure of the Direct Disciple position under Qianyuan Divine Sect’s Sect Master—the meaning it carried was simply too profound and monumental.

Reportedly, because Sect Master Lv Taibai was known for teaching anyone and everyone indiscriminately, none of his other disciples qualified as Young Sect Master candidates, nor were they groomed as heirs to inherit the Sect Master’s leadership.

Meanwhile, Huang Sword Wine—ranked second on the True Successor List—had recently slaughtered members of the Su Family in high-profile fashion, severing ties with Qianyuan Divine Sect, thereby forfeiting his qualification as Young Sect Master.
