Not necessarily? I mean, it depends on the talent, luck and drive of the Gu Master. Hei Lou Lan went for it the moment she had the means to ascend. FY had no choice but to ascend when he did, bu I remember him saying that it wasn't that far away either. For an average Gu Master with good aptitude (High B to A Grade) and decent luck, I would say middle 40s to early 50s, maybe longer if they are afraid and want more experience like Tai Bai.

Definitely Limitless, but I would settle for either one of Star Constellation's Wisdom Path Inheritances or Giant Sun's Luck Path. Spectral Soul' Soul Path Inheritance would be fourth on the list

Oh, things are about to get really good. I don't know how you do it, but I tip my hat to you Author-san. This is one of the best stories, not only fanfics, that I have ever come across. I am looking forward to what you come up with. TFTC!

I think this is a bit reckless, Second Aperture Gu shouldn't even be known outside of that Land Spirit in Southern Border. Theoretically, yes, others would have thought of it, but still, too big a risk in my opinion to ask an Immortal about that, could bring scrutiny upon him

I bet it's Limitless' Shadow overseeing the Inheritance. Anyone else?

Agreed. Sects focus on talent above all else and equality when it comes to opportunities while also tying the disciples to their cause. Clans, however, favor bloodline and family ties, meaning a genius from a common background or a rival family would be seen as a threat rather than a blessing to the Clan

True, I forgot about that 😅

Either Thieving Heaven's true inheritor or Fang Yuan since he "inherited" from Thieving Heaven and Spectral Soul

Water Path Venerable, maybe from Eastern Sea?

If each region is supposed to originate only 1 Venerable, then Xuanyuan won't be ascending on Central Continent, since that is where Great Dream will appear

Could be Bai Ning Bing since he has the Northern Dark Ice Soul Physique, though he was supposed to die

Immortal Master, Let's Go!

So that's why he is interested in Moon Path. I really like how you are connecting all the different Paths together ❤️

This is close to Spectral Soul's approach on Soul Path, but in reverse. Ha! Ingenious! Now, to see how his shadow is going to look like in the future

Is that name a homage to Nine Eyes Liquor Worm? 'Cause if it is then that's an interesting idea you have there

How?! 16 means he only had 1 year worth of experience under his belt. Sure, he could have used Relic Gu to assist, but still, four Rank 2 and four Rank 3 Gu used in one go? Wealthy bastard or not, that's a lot (Not a rant/critic author-san, just me thinking of the implications here)

Okay, things are getting really interesting now. Thanks for the chapter!

Most probably. Bo Qing, despite being a split soul of Spectral Soul, and that oherworldy demon from Murim in Western Desert both had Supreme Grandmaster attainment in Sword Path at one point, so there is a good chance there are other Supreme Grandmasters out there

Ah! Sorry too, didn't want to sound like I was scolding or something. Hope he gets first place or somewhere close to the top, that would give him a good boost

I don't think he increased his talent, he just kept cultivating with help of Beggar Moth Gu to reach Rank 3. Maybe he will get a Gu to increase talent after the tournament, though 🤔
