"Xi'er, let's wait until after the assessment is over to talk if there's nothing urgent." Mother's voice, though gentle, still remained as cold as ever.

"Welcome any member of the Ye family from the Northern Territory."

Usually carefree Aunt Ye Zixuan, who'd always been smiling regardless of the situation, now solemnly restrained her usual demeanor. Clad in a white sacrificial robe, she spoke solemnly, "Now, one by one, feel the pressure of my spirit technique. Those whose power rebounds will pass without exception."

The so-called power rebound, as long as there is talent as a celestial teacher within, would squeeze out the accumulated energy of the past decade, causing Aunt Ye's power to burst forth in a dazzling light. White is the most common and lowest level; yellow, representing slightly above-average individuals, is considered primary; red is rare, symbolizing intermediate proficiency; and the highest is unprecedented gold!

Among the hundred countries on the continent, there had been no such thing as a reincarnation of an immortal!

"First is the grandson of the elder of the Ye family, Ye Han!" As the voice fell, especially the girls in the crowd eagerly came forward to fawn over him, shouting, "Young Master Han!" Ye Juxi felt goosebumps all over his body.

Aunt Ye sighed helplessly, waving her sleeve to scatter a sprinkle of white powder. The moment the powder touched Tang Han's lapel, a deep yellow light erupted from within him.

"Intermediate talent in primary spirit stone!"

Aunt Ye announced the test results. Among the knights, there were many types: aura cultivators who rely on their own strength to fight, with explosive combat power; weapon cultivators, who rely on weapons to concentrate their combat abilities, possessing high control; spirit practitioners, who can set up large-scale barriers to assist in dealing with multiple enemies, unfortunately, there were not many spirit disciples in the history of the mainland, usually known for their ability to heal the team and use magic attacking wands against opponents.

"Ah, why not red..." Ye Han, with a hint of regret, pounded his chest and stomped his feet before leaving the examination room under the girls' adoration.

"Ah, Lord Young Master, I didn't expect you to participate in such a ritual occasionally." A lean-faced, gray-haired middle-aged man saw Ye Juxi's mother, Ye Qiuxue, and warmly greeted her.

"Hehe, Old Su, how could I miss my only son's exam!" Ye Juxi's mother laughed somewhat unnaturally, making Arai feel unusually annoyed by her.

"You're still the same as ever. We should spar some time, haha!" Ye Su swaggered off with his entourage, leaving Juxi holding his chest in discomfort.

Seeing this, Qiuxue whispered, "Juxi, don't be impolite in front of your elders!"

"Mom, that ugly creature earlier was so annoying, arrogant and domineering, thinking he's above everyone." Seeing her mother shaking her head, Juxi realized that Ye Su must be a descendant of the second elder.

The second elder's family had always been at odds with the patriarch and elder of the family. Old Master Ye always kept a close eye on the second elder, Ye Mang, fearing he might collude with outsiders and cause chaos.

"Next one, Ye Juxi!"

"Is it my turn?" The two angry individuals hadn't reacted yet before Aunt Ye, who had already assessed over thirty children, became impatient and shouted, "Juxi, if you don't come up soon, I'll revoke your graduation qualification!"

As his name was called again, Juxi hastened to climb onto the platform, his flustered movements extremely comical, causing the girls who had been prepared to cheer for him to fall silent. Only Ye Na remained, swinging her double ponytails shouting loudly, "Come on, bro, the whole family is counting on you!"

Aunt waved what seemed like a wand woven from branches, sprinkling some white dust that landed on Juxi's pale yellow collar, slowly seeping into his skin. Within three seconds, his body emitted a scorching radiance from within, making him extremely uncomfortable.

"Hehe, have you finally noticed me?" a girl's voice resonated within Juxi, "If you truly desire my approval so much, let me lend you a hand..."

Before Juxi could reply to the girl, she seemed to have already understood his inner thoughts.

"Ye Juxi, Qi Connection - Initial Stone, Intermediate Level!"

After Aunt Ye announced the test results, almost everyone left the altar disappointed, as the disciples behind were basically just miscellaneous seedlings without hope of surpassing the elite trained by nobles!

"Ah!" Ye's patriarch, Ye Chuba, sighed on the high platform, applauding with relief and then stepping down from the podium.

By now, the only ones left around the altar were Ye Na and others awaiting assessment.

"Last one, Ye Na!"

A ray of light bathed Ye Na's body, causing every inch of her skin to glow with a fiery red light. The patriarch trembled in amazement, "High-quality Initial Stone!"

However, thinking of Ye Na's background, the patriarch couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment.

"Intermediate talent!" Tang Xian added from behind.

"What a pity, I thought our family would produce the first ever red high-level talent in history, but I can't blame Xi'er for this."

After conveying his thoughts, the patriarch intended to leave, revealing his reluctance. Juxi wanted to say something to his grandfather before he left, but his mother interrupted his thoughts, "Xier, there seems to be something unusual about the light spots on your body, right?"

Upon hearing Qiu Xue's words, Aunt Ye and the patriarch almost simultaneously surrounded Juxi. "This... this is?"

The patriarch's voice quivered as he cautiously placed his weathered yet strong hand on Juxi's forehead. After a long time, he exclaimed in amazement, "Top-quality Initial Stone!?"

Aunt Ye seemed to not believe the patriarch and pushed him aside regardless of their seniority, "How is this possible?"

With those words, as she once again sprinkled a touch of white powder on Juxi's body, dazzling golden light filled Juxi's eyes, even causing an energy wave so intense to emanate from within him that the patriarch had to be on guard to avoid almost falling over.

"Hahaha!" The patriarch's face paled slightly, then he clapped his hands and laughed heartily, "I never expected that, our Ye family will once again dominate this continent, haha..."

Three days later—

"Xier, your grandfather entrusted you to the most powerful force on our continent, as they are old friends of the Ye family."

Qiu Xue woke up Juxi early in the morning while he was still asleep, continuing to speak while slapping his ears gently, "Don't worry, even though it's not a large place, it belongs to the Ling family after all, and the Wu family wouldn't dare make any rash moves."

With half of his body still under the covers, Juxi took the information handed to him by his left hand, rubbing his groggy eyes with his right hand as he read, "Ling Yizi, also known as...!?"

"Oh, and in six months, you will join the Ling Pavilion."

Qiu Xue deliberately brought her face close to Juxi's and ominously warned him, "Before going to Qingshui Mountain, do not let the Second Elder and anyone from the Imperial City find any trace of you, got it!"

Juxi nodded like a puppet to give Qiu Xue some peace of mind.

Talented cultivation of Qi is one of the important roots of the strong. Qiu Xue asked him, "Xiar, what is your talent in cultivating Qi?"

The once-in-a-millennium Son of God descending upon the soul was not just a simple beast spirit, but a divine beast!

"Dragon..." Juxi hadn't finished speaking when Qiu Xue eagerly interrupted, "I didn't expect it to be such a mighty god..."

"Dragon egg," Juxi added.

"..."

Dragon egg?

Juxi opened his palm, and from his hand flew out a palm-sized object that bore a striking resemblance to the Night Pearl in color, devoid of the majestic air of the dragon race. Moreover, however you looked at it, it seemed like a dragon egg, right?

How could there be the ferocity of a dragon!!!

Juxi felt uneasy in his heart. He spent the entire morning poking at the pearl with his fingers, but it remained calm and composed. "How is this remaining calm?! Is this thing really my talent?"

"What's the use of telling me?" Juxi, in frustration, grabbed the pearl and threw it heavily to the ground.

Many of his peers had activated their talents and learned to use the energy within them in the past few days, but Juxi's talent, sounding cool and powerful in reality, turned out to be nothing more than a pearl that couldn't do anything.

It had been exactly five days since the assessment had passed. Qiu Xue, who had been observing the pearl's every move by his side every day, finally grew impatient. She sternly told Juxi, "Don't worry. The training of the Son of God is a talent like no other. There must be a different method of cultivation that Mom has in mind which is different from ordinary Qi cultivators."

Qiu Xue left Juxi's room, leaving Juxi dejected and the dragon egg, which had left a dent in the floor. His eyes were almost tearing up.

"Why? What's wrong?"

"Sigh, it's because you used martial power to activate the soul!"

The voice of the girl from five days ago when she activated her talent at the altar resounded in his room again. Juxi was afraid. "Ghost, where are you from, ghost? I have never done anything to offend the deceased..."

Thud! The dragon pearl flew into the air and smashed towards Juxi's forehead, cursing, "Bah, you're the ghost. Have you ever seen a ghost as beautiful as us?"

With that, a bewitching figure gradually materialized in front of him from transparency, giving him a fright.

"Tsk tsk tsk, in order not to scare myself, I slowly materialize. But why do you still look like this?" The girl's laughter was as crisp as a silver bell.

Startled, Juxi carefully examined the girl's face, which was somewhat exquisite, but unfortunately, her beautiful blue robe completely concealed her figure. He silently cursed in his heart, "Looks like a washboard, right?"

The girl suddenly asked, "What's a washboard?"

Juxi was thrown into confusion by one question, grimacing as he asked, "You... can you hear what I'm thinking?" He didn't want this guy to know all his inner thoughts.

"Of course, I am the tapeworm in your belly, no, I mean I chose you; it's your destiny! *cough*!" The girl cleared her throat twice, then proudly introduced herself while casually tidying her loose silver hair on her shoulders, "You may call me Jade Emperor!"
