"Although your cousin's strength isn't that great, he's still a mysterious expert. It's normal that you can't find him in such a short time. Why don't you tell us about the Mountain Opening Stage? This is the first time I've heard of this stage. It should be above the Profound Ascension stage, right?" someone egged him on.
"That's right. Above the Profound Ascension stage is the Mountain Opening stage. On the viewing platform, Dean Ling Yuanqing and the two vice-deans beside him are all Mountain Opening Stage experts!" The man in the yellow hat nodded.
"The legendary Mountain Opening Stage experts are all existences that can casually split open a mountain with a palm. Is this true?" asked another person at the side.
"What's so strange about splitting a mountain with a single palm strike? If there's no protective formation, even a Golden Core expert like me can split a mountain with a single blow …" someone said disapprovingly.
"Hey, what do you know? The mountain I'm talking about isn't the small hill you're imagining. It's the kind of majestic mountain that easily stretches for tens or hundreds of miles. Why don't you open one for me to broaden my horizons?" that person said disdainfully.
"Ugh, I can't do that. A majestic mountain that stretches for tens or hundreds of miles must have an extraordinary foundation. People like us can't even touch a hair on it. If they can split a mountain with a single palm strike, then wouldn't their strength be too exaggerated?" a few people couldn't help but look at each other in dismay.
"Don't doubt me. He's not wrong about this. The so-called Mountain Opening Stage experts are heaven-defying existences that can split a mountain with a single palm strike. However, we can't usually see experts of this level. Other than the East Continent, even on the four great islands of the Heaven Rank, they're rare existences. I heard my cousin say that even if we include the spiritual beasts in the South Continent, there are only a few of them. "The man in the yellow hat showed off his knowledge to the crowd.
"If that's the case, then if we can be chosen to become a disciple of the Yellow Morning Star Academy, then we'll have an amazing future!" the crowd said excitedly as they rubbed their palms together.
Even if they didn't know much about the so-called academies in the East Continent, they knew that the Yellow Morning Star Academy had Ling Yuanqing and the other two Mountain Opening Stage experts. If he could obtain their recognition and join them, his future would definitely be immeasurable.
"Hehe, this is called a lunatic's daydream. Don't you understand that you're thinking too much? Open your eyes wide and look carefully. How many people have come here? I bet. This place was definitely filled with geniuses. Gold Core Stage experts like us aren't even worth a second glance. We're just ordinary Gold Core Stage experts. They won't even look us in the eye, and you still want to be chosen by them? Dream on! "Someone at the side sneered and mocked himself.
"You guys don't understand. When people come here to recruit people, they don't care about strength but potential. They care about your aptitude. As long as your aptitude is outstanding, anything is possible. "The man in the yellow hat shook his head and refuted.
"That's right. Since we're already here, there's no harm in giving it a try. Maybe we'll be lucky. Maybe our aptitude is better than others, but no one has discovered it before." Everyone immediately echoed with a smile.
Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao sat behind everyone. Listening to their discussions, they finally knew that the realm above the Profound Ascension Stage was called the Mountain Opening Stage. On the stage, Ling Yuan Qing and the other two were all Mountain Opening Stage experts.
Separated by a distance of a few hundred feet, Lin Yi carefully observed Ling Yuan Qing and the other two again. He found that although the three of them were all Mountain Opening Stage experts, there was still a difference in strength between them.
Ling Yuan Qing sat in the middle of the courtyard. His aura was obviously more majestic and profound than the two beside him. His strength should be the strongest among the three.
The Vice Principal sitting on his left was a woman. She looked to be about forty years old. Of course, to be able to reach such a high realm like the Mountain Opening Stage, her real age must be much older than this, but it was unknown how old she was.
However, according to Lin Yi's knowledge, there were only two possibilities for a forty-year-old appearance. Either this woman did not deliberately control her appearance, or she was about forty years old when her strength finally advanced to the Heaven Stage!
However, thinking about it carefully, which woman in the world did not love to be beautiful? From the cultivators that Lin Yi had seen, there were many male cultivators who did not deliberately control their appearance, but there was really not a single female cultivator!
It was the nature of all women to love beauty. Unless they were disfigured or suffered some kind of trauma that left a shadow in their hearts, no woman would be willing to age. And this woman on the viewing platform did not have any kind of trauma like disfigurement.
With this deduction, Lin Yi was eighty percent sure that the woman on the stage should be deliberately controlling her appearance. Otherwise, why did she not become an old woman?
But in this case, there was only the second possibility, and that was that this woman did not finally advance to the Heaven Stage until she was about forty years old!
This kind of aptitude, in the secular world, could be considered passable, but in the Heaven Stage Island, not to mention compared to the cultivation geniuses, she could not even be considered as an average person. Her aptitude could only be considered low. But how could a woman with this kind of aptitude achieve such exaggerated heights?
It was normal for a cultivator with low aptitude to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage. Even the Gold Core Stage was an extravagant hope, not to mention the Mountain Opening Stage which was several stages above the Gold Core Stage.
It could not be that this woman's aptitude was very poor in the early stage, but the more she cultivated, the better her aptitude became, right?
This was not in line with common sense, nor was it in line with logic. Lin Yi was secretly surprised, but this kind of question could not be answered unless he asked the woman herself.
Other than this woman, the vice dean sitting on the right side of Ling Yuanqing had a completely different aura style. He was a man with a rather fierce and overbearing appearance.
He was dressed in black and had a glossy, swept-back hair. At first glance, he looked like a mountain bandit, but at second glance, he looked like a village tyrant. In short, he did not look like a good person, and the key point was that he was not a high-grade evil person. If one did not look at his current aura, on the surface, he would simply look like a bandit leader who could not be seen in public.
However, it was this big brother with such a dignified appearance that was the legendary super expert of the Mountain Opening Stage. One could not help but comment that one could not judge a person by their appearance, and the ancients did not deceive me.
After carefully observing the three of them, Lin Yi's gaze finally fell on the woman. What made him feel rather strange was that the aura emitted by this woman made him feel vaguely familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. It seemed very familiar, but he could not remember at the moment. (To be continued ~ ^ ~) -- 1464 + d6su9h + 10646603 -- >
