'Should be enough to pass the exam.' He looked at the stage, the elder had left after testing everyone.

Soon the elder came back with two men behind him. One was a middle aged buff man, while the other was a elderly man on the verge of death.

"Alastor come with us." The buff man talked before appearing in front of him and grabbing him.

Baihu was startled before he was grabbed by the elderly man.

....

Alastor sat dazed on a mountain peak looking at the powerful figures before him.

"I will be brief, I wish to take you as my disciple." The buff man stated with a smile.

"Eh...dont you need to test me more or something."

"Ha, your joking right? There hasn't been someone with that level of talent in centuries, let alone someone with time talent. Even if it was F rank you'd be an important figure." The buff man looked at him eagerly.

"It's so important...and rare?" He couldnt help but feel slightly confused as his mind wandered.

"Of course it it, as well people with a time talent naturally live much longer. With your level of talent... Even as a ordinary mortal you'd live 5000 years. It doubles every Realm as well."

"So long...say what if someone has two talents."

The men looked at him weirdly for a slight second.

"Well..It depends, if you have a A rank Earth talent and a A rank Fire talent. Your cultivation speed would be double that of a regular A rank. However if you have a S rank and a F rank, your cultivation speed will only slightly faster. And with such a huge difference in talent..." He trailed off with a complicated expression.

The elderly man continued,"You would either blow up, have the weaker talent be devoured, or be crippled."

Alastors expression shifted a few times,"How big of a difference would the talents have to be..."

"Well someone with a D rank and a F rank talent would be crippled. Someone with a F rank and a B rank would explode. Someone with a A rank and a F rank would have the weaker talent devoured. But as your talents get stronger they also are easier to control. Being so, a person with a S rank and a SSS rank talent would be fine, if they have a SSSS rank talent though it would be difficult to control. Sadly many genius's have been lost to differences in their talents.."

"So young man, what is your second talent?" The elderly man looked at him with a frown.

"Oh, I have a SSSS rank space talent." Knowing his questions made it easy for them to know he had another talent he had to answer.

"Haha thats great, they perfectly match each other. You are a once in a million years genius, to have two of the rarest talents..truly a wonder." The elderly man was so excited he almost hugged him.

"Ahem I guess we should introduce ourselves, I am the Grand Elder and previous Sect master." The elderly man spoke softly as he looked at Alastor.

"And I-"

Cutting the man off,"He's my useless disciple, now young man I see you are on the verge of a breakthrough. Come let's find a technique for you so you can breakthrough." The elderly man hurriedly grabbed him taking him into the pavilion behind them.

...

"Before I show you any techniques, do you take me as your master?" The old man looked at him with a serious face.

"I Alastor Augusta, take you as my master." He kotowed.

"Good very good...my name is Li Jiancheng, as former Sect Master and current Grand Elder. I sha'll impart our Sects techniques upon you." He handed him a book.

"Once you have chosen, look for me by the pond." He disappeared.

"Hm.."

{Windstorm cultivation technique}

For those who have talent in wind, focuses on speed and attack. B rank

{Inferno King}

For those who have talent in fire, focuses on attack and defense. A rank

...

{Divine Paths technique}

For those who have talent in Fate. SS rank

'A fate technique...'

{Spatial Core}

For those who have talent in Space. S rank

'The best it can get.'

He kept this technique in mind before searching for the pond his new master told him of.

.....

Soon he found a large round lily pond, his master sat at the edge staring into it.

"Master, I have chosen a technique." He bowed.

"Ah what have you found. Oh the Spatial Core, its too bad the only Time techniques we have are too low of a rank." He shook his head with a sad face.

"I will expand our library when I'm strong enough." Jiansheng smiled slightly.

He handed a small scroll to him, beneath it was a golden robe engraved with beautiful designs.

"Your identity token is inside this robe, feel free to choose a room in my pavillion." He smiled kindly.

"Thank you master." He bowed before taking the stuff and entering the halls to look for a room.

....

He sat on his new bed contemplating,'If the Grand Elder is my master, does that mean the Sect Master is my Senior brother?' He blinked a few times before coming out of his thoughts.

He took his clothes off before putting the new luxurious robes on. Holding his identity token he heard a ding in his mind.

...

For those who wish to say he is too OP, read the fucking title. Also he's only having that sword for a specific reason. First it needs to grow with him, be by his side through every fight. Only then can it be a true sword. Secondly because of what it represents, a Spear for a warlord, a halberd for a general, a sword for a peacemaker.

SPOILER*(in comments)

Please don't think this novel will have a idiotic MC. He will rarely fight, he prefers his words. Enemies to friends, I understand you may think 'oH wElL tHeY wIlL wAnT rEvEnGe' No and yes, you cant kill someone because they have different ideals. They try to kill you? What may that matter, people are brought up in bad ways. A world of cultivation would naturally have this in thier mind. Don't be brainless, please read this and actually think.
