Chapter 19

"Incredible! Such talent, this young man should definitely be nurtured!" One of the elders who was watching the test exclaimed in surprise as he looked at Itachi.

"Genius! All the other participants are just trash if they are compared to this boy. Plus he looks like he's less than five years old." Another elder commented earning the nod of agreement from all the others.

"Contact all the elders to come watch, in addition, let the sect master know. This young man definitely needs to be nurtured carefully." A man who appeared to be in his thirties said in a deep voice.

The elders who were all elated before quickly fell silent. They knew this man's identity well, he was precisely the current great elder of the sect, his cultivation was only below the sect leader.

But this was not what made these elders respect him, but a rumor that he belonged to one of the four holy grounds. Nobody knew if this rumor was really real, but just because this rumor existed everyone respected and feared him.

...

Ling Yuefeng, is the master of the Heavenly Sword Villa, he reached the Emperor Profound Realm at the age of forty-seven, being the youngest in the history of the Blue Wind Empire to have this achievement. Due to his shocking talent in his youth, he was selected to be the next sect master at the age of eighteen.

"Sect Leader, I'm sorry to interrupt you." A voice transmission sounded in the mind of Ling Yuefeng who was cultivating.

"Hm? What's the problem? For you to contact me something big must have happened." Ling Yuefeng's deep voice sounded.

"It's not a problem, but a blessing! One of this year's test participants is climbing the deep stairs without any difficulty!" The animated voice of the voice transmission elder said.

Ling Yuefeng frowned and said, "You contact me just for something small like that? It's not like my son can't do that..."

The Elder then realized that he had misplaced the message, so he tried to fix it by saying, "You misunderstand Sect Leader, this participant is less than five years old, and has no cultivation, but he has already climbed twenty steps... Wait he has now climbed thirty steps! Sect Leader, come and see!"

The elder's voice at the end already became even more elated, this was because the moment he said that the boy had climbed twenty steps, he decided to look again at the testing ground and saw the same boy going to step number thirty.

Ling Yuefeng's eyes suddenly shone, he knew that a talent like this young man was practically non-existent in this empire so without a second thought he disappeared from the cultivation room he was in. And in just a few seconds he arrived at the grandstand where the elders were sitting watching the test.

...

Noticing someone's arrival, all the elders turned their faces, and upon realizing that it was the sect leader, they all bowed as they greeted Ling Yuefeng.

"Sect master! It is good that you have come." The Grand Elder said with a smile on his face, he was the only one who did not bow as he greeted Ling Yuefeng.

Ling Yuefeng didn't seem to mind the Great Elder's action, his eyes were focused on the testing ground. Specifically on a four-year-old boy who was steadily climbing the steps.

"Genius! That talent is even greater than mine... If nurtured properly, he can easily break through to levels this empire has never seen." Ling Yuefeng thought.

Ling Yuefeng was no fool, he knew the world, he knew that the Blue Wind Empire was a small empire when compared to the true powers of this continent. He knew that this boy's talent definitely shouldn't belong here.

"If he is well nurtured in our sect, then it's not impossible to rise to new heights..."

With these thoughts Long Yuefeng was already willing to nurture the boy with all the resources the sect could provide.

Sweeping his gaze over the other participants, his face was disappointed. He hadn't expected the batch of participants this time to have such low aptitude for cultivation.

"After seeing this boy, any talent seems ordinary..." Ling Yuefeng thought.

Looking at the elders who had excited eyes, Ling Yuefeng decided to give a slight warning.

"I will take him to my peak to be nurtured once the test is over. So don't think of taking him as your disciple."

...

Itachi didn't seem to realize that he had already become the nurturing target of the Heavenly Sword Villa, perhaps if he knew he wouldn't mind either. He knew that his talent was high, and that if he had enough time, he could reach heights above this Empire.

Continuing up the stairs, he realized that the profound energy entering his body was strengthening him more and more, he was even beginning to feel that he could make some inroads into the world he was about to build within his body.

"I guess I can take a little break on this step before I continue up." He thought as he sat down.

Since he couldn't absorb all the Star Energy at night, he felt that cultivating on these steps would be the best option. With the density of the Profound Energy of these stairs, he could advance quickly in his world formation.

"I wonder, what would happen if I cultivated at night on these stairs?" He thought.

Itachi did not know how long the test would take, nor did he know if it was possible to return here to cultivate again. And because of this uncertainty, he decided to just cultivate the contents of his heart.

...

"Incredible! He's already reached floor number forty, but this seems to be his limit." One of the elders said with an elated face.

"Indeed, to become an outer disciple of Heavenly Sword Villa one needs to pass floor number twenty, and to become an inner disciple one needs to reach floor number forty, this boy is a genius for reaching this level with no cultivation." Another elder commented.

Everyone was excited about this boy's future.

Ling Yuefeng didn't utter a word as he saw the boy sitting on floor number forty. He realized that this seemed to not be the boy's limit.

"Understanding... He intends to use the Profound Energy to strengthen himself before continuing..." Ling Yuefeng thought.

The Grand Elder also seemed to be quiet, but his gaze to Itachi was one of complete surprise and also curiosity. He felt that it was strange that Itachi had not advanced in cultivation once since he climbed the stairs.

"That's strange... Unless he..." The Grand Elder interrupted his thoughts, he knew what should be thought and what should not.

Ling Yuefeng decided to contact his father the former Leader of the Heavenly Sword Villa, he felt that only his father could nurture a talent like this. So without much thought, he contacted his father with a voice transmission.
