"Mhm?!"
Xia Ping didn't care about the discussions of the surrounding examinees. When he saw a white-robed old man appearing before him, he instantly felt a huge change in the world. The surrounding air seemed to have solidified.
It was like with the white-robed old man as the center, the area within a radius of several tens of thousands of miles transformed into a unique domain world, separated from the real world.
"How powerful."
Xia Ping was shocked. This white-robed old man was the most powerful living being he had ever seen. It was like the innate nature of life was completely different. As long as the other party breathed out, he would be reduced to ashes.
"Careful, this is a sage."
Korin transmitted his voice to Xia Ping. However, he only spoke a single sentence and no longer showed himself. He was afraid that the connection between him and Xia Ping would be discovered by this white-robed old man.
Because when one reached the sage realm, they would be able to faintly sense the innate nature of the world. It was simply impossible to play tricks under the eyes of a sage.
Sage?!
Xia Ping's eyes gleamed. It was unknown how many times he had heard Korin talking about the legends of sages. Sages were the strongest experts in the universe, existences that could destroy planets with a single hand. They could be said to be living gods.
But this was the first time he saw a living sage appearing before him. Initially, he thought that he was very far away from being a sage. Who would have thought that he was no longer an existence that was extremely far away from him?
"This old man's dao name is Darknorth."
The white-robed old man stared at Xia Ping and spoke, "I can temporarily be considered a grand elder of the Qiankun Sect. Are you willing to become my eldest disciple?"
What?!
As the sound of his voice rang out, all the disciples of the Qiankun Sect were shocked. This was especially so for those descendants of nobles and aristocrats. All of them were so frightened that they were like wooden chickens, completely dumbfounded.
In the six star regions, even the most ignorant person would know that the Qiankun Sect had three great sages. They could be said to be existences akin to rulers and were also the supreme experts of the Qiankun Sect.
One of them was none other than the Darknorth Saint.
One could say that in the Qiankun Sect, other than the Darknorth Saint, no one else would dare to call themselves Darknorth. If not, this would be considered a taboo and the consequences would be dire.
Without a doubt, this white-robed old man was none other than the famous Darknorth Saint.
But such a powerful sage actually came here directly, clearly wanting to recruit Xia Ping as his eldest disciple. They simply didn't dare to believe their ears.
Eldest disciple?!
A disciple of a Sage?!
Hearing this, Xia Ping's eyes lit up. If he could become a disciple of a sage, it would be equivalent to finding a great backer, a super golden thigh. He would be able to do whatever he wanted in the Qiankun Sect. At that time, who would dare to offend him?!
Rejecting the other party was the stupidest thing to do.
Korin, who was hiding beside Xia Ping, was also stunned. He didn't expect such a thing to happen. He had just joined the Qiankun Sect, but he actually became a Sage's disciple.
Although it had long known that it would not be a problem for Xia Ping to become a disciple of a Sage given his aptitude, it did not expect this to happen so soon.
After all, Sages had to attend to a myriad of affairs every day and would not usually appear in the sect. To become a disciple of a Sage, one had to be lucky.
According to its expectations, becoming a disciple of an elder of the sect was already not bad. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen? The Sage had directly descended and wanted to take Xia Ping as a disciple.
"Disciple is willing."
Xia Ping immediately cupped his hands and performed a disciple's greeting.
"Hmm, very good. Follow me." Darknorth Saint smiled, revealing a rare smile. It was like a spring breeze, as if he was very satisfied with Xia Ping's answer.
With a swoosh, he waved his hand and a gentle power wrapped around Xia Ping's body.
In the next second, the two of them disappeared from the spot and directly left this place.
After that, the elders present also chose over ten people with outstanding aptitudes. Among them was Kur, and they accepted these people as disciples.
Although their treatment could not be compared to Xia Ping's, it was still a great fortuitous encounter.
As for the others who were not favored by the elders, they could only stay on the spot like abandoned pets.
After all the elders left, only then did these people dare to speak.
"Impossible."
A rich and powerful disciple broke down in disbelief, "I have outstanding aptitude and am said to be a once-in-a-century genius in my family. To think that no elder took a liking to me and accepted me as a disciple. Instead, they took a liking to a country bumpkin who came from who knows where, a commoner with a lowly bloodline. This must be a joke."
He was unable to accept such a thing.
In his hometown, he was a once-in-a-century genius who was invincible. This made him extremely confident that he would become an influential figure once he entered the Qiankun Sect. He thought that a big shot would take a liking to him and he would become the final disciple.
Who knew that no one took a liking to him at all?
Instead, the people he looked down on all became the disciples of the elders.
Even that despicable, despicable, arrogant commoner Xia Ping actually became the disciple of a Saint, rising to the heavens in a single step. How could he accept such a ridiculous thing?
"That's right, why? Forget about Kur and the others. After all, they are descendants of the royal family and have a noble bloodline. Some of them came from ancient families with shocking legacies. It's understandable that the elders took a liking to them, but what qualifications does that Xia Ping have?"
"That's right, he actually caught the eye of a Saint and was personally taken in as a disciple, becoming the final disciple."
"This is too laughable, I thought that I was dreaming."
Many rich and powerful disciples were so jealous that their intestines turned green. A commoner that they looked down on actually became the disciple of a Saint, rising to the heavens in a single step.
One had to know what a Saint's disciple was.
The so-called Saint was a supreme existence in the star domain. They were like emperors and with a single command, billions of planets would tremble. They governed the lives of billions of people.
The disciples of a Saint were princes, and the final disciple was the crown prince who had the right to inherit. Their status was almost equal to the elders of the Heaven and Earth Sect, or even higher to a certain extent.
Now, this commoner suddenly became the disciple of a Saint, becoming the crown prince who was above them. One could imagine how unbalanced their hearts were right now. They even had the urge to kill.
"I heard that the Darknorth Saint has never taken in a disciple before and his standards are extremely high. This brat actually caught the eye of the Darknorth Saint. Could it be that the Darknorth Saint is blind?" Someone cursed, feeling very unconvinced.
He felt that his aptitude was extremely high and he could comprehend the profoundness of the martial path in the Heaven and Earth Wall. However, that Saint was blind and didn't take a liking to him. Instead, he took a liking to the commoner Xia Ping. This was too unfair.
"Shut up, you actually dare to talk about a Saint. Do you want to die? If you offend a Saint, your entire family will be exterminated. "
Someone immediately warned.
That person quickly shut his mouth, his face turning pale from fright. If those words just now were to spread, even dying a hundred times wouldn't be enough.
"No matter what, he has become the disciple of a Saint. From now on, he will rise to the heavens in a single step, like a carp leaping over the dragon's gate. He is no longer a major character that we can provoke." The expression of a rich and powerful disciple was extremely unsightly.
Now that Xia Ping had become the disciple of a Saint, his authority was monstrous. Even if he didn't have any authority, his future was boundless. If he continued to say a word, it was unknown how many major powers would take action to deal with them. Their goal was to curry favor with Xia Ping.
Before this, they still wanted to kill Xia Ping, but now, it was already a blessing that they didn't die because of Xia Ping's revenge.
In fact, in order to avoid trouble, their respective clans might directly expel them from their clans to avoid implicating themselves.
